Good Morning, I've decided that it is time to get a handle on what I am eating again. Nicole started as a Beachbody coach, and is very excited about the program. She reached her goal weight without the program, but feels that being involved with it and other people will help her to maintain. I have decided to do the diet…

@morgori and @bigaug Welcome back. You've been missed. @Robin It's always good when you pop in. @Susan Welcome back to you, too. I love your reports and your willingness to just dust yourself and off and keep going. @Karen School has started for the teachers here. The kids don't start until Monday. I'll be glad when that…

@susan My grandson is also 13 going into 8th grade. He is 4'10" and weighs well under 100#. The long and short of it. There are scholarships there for Cyrus if he can hang in. More later. Onward and downward. Kaye

Hi, Sunday share. I'm Kaye, 71 years old, married 50 years with 7 kids, spouses, and 15 grandkids. I started this 3 years ago, did really well the first year, so-so the second. I'm back pedalling right now, gained 10# from March to June. Life got complicated and I gave myself permission to quit logging. Big mistake. I am…

We saw the dr today. Based on symptoms and previous tests, he doesn't think there is any reason to suspect a spinal injury. We are going in on Friday for an MRI to check for a possible cerebellum injury. He says there is nothing that can be done except wait and see if time heals some of his symptoms. Thank you all for your…

August 1st. The last few months have been a real struggle in so many ways. They have taken their toll on my weight and my habits. When I started the first time, I jumped right in with both feet, and had a lot of success quite quickly. I've really been trying to get my head around this again, and have come to the conclusion…

Wishing that DH could have less pain and sleep better at night. His restlessness also makes it hard for me to sleep. The lawn mowing went better today. It took less than 2 hours. DH was able to start it for me, and it was a bit cooler, too. Onward and downward. Kaye

Good Morning, We are hanging in here. DH is some better. He stays awake more during the day, and the pain subsides at times. Although he is still struggling with his speech, it is some better. I'm still doing water aerobics and got in a couple of good walks with DDs when it wasn't too hot. It took me three days to get the…

@mnwalkingqueen Congratulations on the new job. Hope it works out well for you. @skinnyjeans Good luck to DH. @Tanya I admire your level of activity. I'm glad you can enjoy summer in spite of your pain. I gained 10# between March and June. With everything that's going on, I'm having a hard time getting back to logging. I…

Well, it's been a really stressful time. Last night at about 10:30, DH stumbled at the vacation rental place we were staying at. He fell into a locked door. The doorjamb broke and he fell down a very steep set of cement stairs into an unfinished basement. He was unconscious for a while. He didn't know where he was or what…

The funeral service was awesome, a wonderful tribute to a good man. There were many members of our extended family, an d lots of old friends in attendance. I have done really well all week, but I sure lost it during the military service at the end. As the oldest child, I was presented with the flag. My sil did an amazing…

We are leaving tomorrow morning to travel to Eastern Idaho for my Father's funeral. His service is Saturday. We will travel home on Sunday. It will be a long weekend, but I am looking forward to being with family. All of my sisters, all of children, and all but one of his grandchildren will be there. I'm packing my walking…

I need to check in, just for the accountability. I'm doing terrible with my food choices and snacking. The stress is really getting to me. This afternoon DH's blood pressure was a little better, but back up tonight. He slept all morning, some of the afternoon and went to bed at 9:30 tonight so I know he isn't well. Thank…

Good job, Lori. Just an update to let you know that my father died this afternoon. It was not unexpected. The congestive heart failure just caught up with him. I know he's in a better place, but my heart is heavy. We'll miss him. Kaye

The weather is more mild so I've been able to walk the last couple of days. There were messages from DH's cardiologist when we got home from vacation, but it was too late to talk to anyone. They are changing his bp meds. I'll talk to them Monday. Tonight it's 193/107. I'll be glad when we get it under control. In the…

@Niki So sorry for your loss. We are in UT attending a family reunion. It rained some yesterday, during the night, and really hard during the morning. About 2 it started to clear up and we had a beautiful afternoon and evening. Eating hasn't been great but I've gotten in a couple of really good walks. We'll be headed home…

Laurie, your post hadn't shown up yet when I posted. I'm sorry things are so uncertain for your Dad. I hope he gets the care that he needs and that you and your mother are able to get some rest.

Thank you all for the compliments on my pictures. I love the pictures that you have posted recently, too. Lori and Karen you are both looking great. Robin, your pictures are wonderful. We have visited the desert SW. It is truly amazing. Glad your friend wasn't hurt. For the newcomers, I am Kaye. I recently celebrated my…

Still here just hanging on. Water aerobics is my salvation. Otherwise not doing so great. We will be gone most of next week for a family reunion for DH's family. The rest of the month will be spent with appts to get my new partial. @tootsanderson Welcome back. I'm glad that things are working out for your family. Onward…

The whole crew, minus 3, a granddaughter, a grandson, and a daughter in law.

With all 7 of our children.

My favorite picture of DH and me.

If this works it is a picture of me with my wedding dress at the party.

I have party pictures to post. I know it's been explained before, but will someone please explain it to me. :/ Onward and downward. Kaye

I'm posting my Thursday truth a day late. I'm here every day lurking. I am really struggling with everything. I've let life get me off track, and I can't seem to get back on. I have gained 10# since March! I just feel like I'm floundering and don't know where to start to get back on track. The only thing that I am doing…

Sorry about the confusing post. I don't know how the quote from Laurie got in there.

@Tracy (tlh) I admit to using this event as an excuse to get things done that should have been done sooner. Now I'm really glad we got so much done. We had scheduled the cultural hall at the church for the day. This evening I found out that there is a funeral scheduled for 3 pm followed by a family dinner. Since it is…

We enjoyed a day out for our anniversary. I had my favorite meal at Red Lobster, but no guilt. We also visited the World Center for Birds of Prey. It was a special day. Yesterday the kids did a great job of scrubbing walls and kitchen cabinets. Also painted the office. Tomorrow they will be back to paint the doors and…

Wednesday wish: I wish that I could get my head around this process again. So much of my success is mental and I'm just feeling it right now. Since May I've gained 5#. I MUST STOP NOW. I have all kinds of reasons and excuses, but they don't change the result. Thanks for always being here for me. I take inspiration from…
