Up too late but I did sleep in a bit. My neck and shoulders are screaming but that is due to a killer upper body work out at TRX. The only thing I want to say about this election is that they certainly underestimated and undervalued the power of the working class and the "little" people. Oh, and one more thing, I love…

Good morning, it is dreary and cool and supposed to rain. Glad I got my errands, and mom's, done yesterday. Slow getting starts but heading to mom's to kick back and relax. Kala, congrats on another great loss. You are a rock star, girl. Sorry about not being able to take Izzy but I can see where she might be too much…

Bert, for most of us eggs don't have to be cut significantly even when we have elevated cholesterol levels. It has been found that it is the other forms of trans fats in our diet that cause the rise. Unfortunately, when you have diabetes you are much more susceptible to the cholesterol in eggs. For diabetics they recommend…

Another beautiful fall day in the Ohio valley, doing some cleaning and then some crafting. I have a bad habit of piling things in my craft room all summer and now I need to get it put to rights so I can work in there. Luckily it is just a matter of putting things where they belong. I am still smiling over my day with…

Had just the best day with Susie. Went to Chuys Mexican for lunch, then to a craft fair where we found some crafts we want to try together. The only thing I bought was some granulated garlic for my grinder. The company is Weezy's garlic. She is a local organic farmer and she makes the very best spice, garlic and herb…

It is a beautiful crisp day here, more fall like than we have seen in a while. Looking forward to my time with Susie. Since she is working 12-8pm there are so few opportunities for us to see each other. She has not made her choice of lunch spots so I cannot pre plan but will do my best. Janet, it is getting more and more…

Good morning and welcome to a beautiful Friday, gym in a bit, then a trip to the bank, grocery and then a visit with Mom. Tomorrow I will be spending time with Susie to celebrate her birthday. I am getting her a mushy daughter card and a 2nd birthday card, since this is our second birthday together. She sounds like her…

QOTD: when I am tired I definitely eat poorly. So easy to just get take out or eat.....whatever! I do try to keep some ready to eat options in the house for these times, but don't always make them my priority choices. I think being tired is my most vulnerable time to eat the worst stuff. Edd always tries to be helpful and…

Well I was up late but not watching the game. Haven't watched baseball since the late 70's but so happy the Cubs won just because I am from Chicago and it was a milestone for them. We had a f Irene stop by and spend the night. So much fun catching up and just shooting the ......you know. Edd and he have been friends since…

Hello, quick stop before I head out to do some errands and get my stripe removed. Mom called this morning and we had another good laugh over our muffin fiasco yesterday. We both came to the conclusion we don't belong in the kitchen together. All the muffins are now in the trash! QOTD: the only thing I know to do is just…

Hi again, mom and I had a great day. She wanted to make Raisin Bran muffins. A recipe she has made a hundred times. She just needed my help to stir and fill the muffin tins. A little late into the process, read all the tins had been filled, she noticed the mix was too runny. Since I have never made this recipe I had no…

Good morning compadres, sounds like we are all working it, and don't it feel good!!!!! Day 1 of tracking is in the books and now on to day 2. Right now my plan is to focus on tracking it all. I count myself fortunate that I never stopped the activity portion, it kept me from gaining any more than I did. Not setting any…

Janet, sounds like there is hope for a better fix. Loved your description of all the costumes. Couldn't agree with you more. So heartening to see our young ladies being so empowered so early. We had no trick or treaters again this year, boo hoo. I love the littles all dressed up and having fun. Got my fix with pics on FB…

Finished my painting job, she was very pleased with the job and the price and will have more work for me after the holidays. I told her if she hadn't wanted the front door red i would have been done a lot quicker. But she loved the final product and I have to brag, so did I. Sometimes extra effort is worth it. Wish I could…

Good Monday to you all, a mother glorious summer day for the last day of October. Today is my daughter's birthday. Her second since we became mother and daughter again. She works 12-8pm and had things to do before work today so we are planning to spend next Saturday together. Her choice of activities. She is battling her…

Good evening, just got the car unloaded and am watching Young Frankenstein, one of my all time favorites and the only "horror" movie I will watch. Not a fan of scary stuff. The party last night was so much fun. The best costumes were Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein! Turns out just about everyone shares my love of…

On my deck enjoying this glorious morning. I am alone here for a bit, very rare occurrence, and reveling in the beauty that is our world. So quiet and peaceful, only sound is the birds and the walnuts falling. The sun is highlighting the beautiful golds, russet and blazing oranges of the leaves that are still clinging to…

Good morning and welcome to the weekend. I have a busy day and will be radio silent until Sunday. Had terrible dreams that focused on my Mom and her declining mental state. Not sure what triggered this because at 86 she sharp as a tack with no signs of mental decline. Especially weird because I rarely have bad dreams, mine…

Amazing how we have all come together and become such a wonderful support group. I would never wish weight issues on anyone but realize that without such issues we would never have met each other. I always feel your support and blessings with me. Janet, my heart is breaking for your sweet MIL, I knew that is how you think…

Happy birthday Bert, hope your day is super special just like you! Patti

Rainy and dreary here but that usually does not affect my mood. Circuit this AM and then I need to finish my paint job. The room turned out nice but the front door is not up to my standards. Working with red paint on a steel door, ugh. I am going to run by the hardware store and pick up a different roller to see if the…

Wishing you all a great day. Just had to stop by and share something that made me chuckle more than once this week. Michael Buble' is on Kelly this week and she told him that he needs to name his first daughter Creme. Hope that made you all smile. Patti

Final check in for the day. Mom and I made a carrot cake, had subway for lunch and got her shopping and chores done. Her eyesight is getting better. She can now see facial features, including her own and she ain't too happy about that, lol. I have my Dr appointment tomorrow, followed by my painting job. Mom's appointment…

Time to head to Mom's but wanted to stop by and say hi. Janet, good to hear that you did not leave in tears this time. Hopefully lowering your synthroid will not make a huge difference since you are still on the cytomel. Shopping is my least favorite thing to do, even when it all got well! Hope your day is relaxing and as…

Cindy, yes please share the soup recipe! Patti

Good morning, Cindy, you are getting stronger and seem to be caring more about YOU every day. I haven't heard tough toenails in a long time. Thanks for the chuckle. If you have extra time off I sure hope very minute is devoted to me time, especially sinc it is you that will have to work extra hard to use it. There seems to…

HI all, just got home and am waiting for Edd to get back with the carry out of his choice. I am already missing my nephew. So sad that he has lived his whole life believing this side of the family didn't want anything to do with him or his family. Trying really hard not to hate my brother for the lies he has told for over…

Janet, I think a second opinion is a must for you. You have worked too hard to let some random doc make you feel bad about yourself. I will bet there are plenty of endos in Louisville! Karla, your trip sounds so perfect. Time with your family and BFF is precious. Now you get to have more family time with the grands and…

Found some shoes, they made it thru TRX well. I have logged over 12K steps today and my feet hurt from wearing worn out shoes before getting to Kohls. I will glad to give them a rest after tomorrow's class, which is 30 minutes of Zumba and 30 minutes of Pilates (shoes off) Cindy, enjoy your Lucinda day and I truly hope you…

We had storms as well last night. Nothing really bad, just a lot of rain. Circuit this AM was a blast, love these women, they motivate me and make me work harder. Praying we can get our class size up so they don't cancel the class. Edd has been working on my nephew's jeep. Got an oil change yesterday, got the brakes…
