Another day and I am still working my PM to the best of my ability. The weight is still off. I have a healthy plan for the weekend, now to just stick to it. The neighbor's always have so many goodies and push them constantly. Will be exercising my NO thank you muscle until it cramps. Eye appointment with Mom at 1pm. All…

Janet, I pray I never meet your brother, I fear it would not be pretty! I picture you looking very much like Audrey Hepburn in a wide brim hat and shades, looking oh so famous and mysterious. Good news on the appointment for your foot and ankle. Suzi, I love the west. We took a trip out there last year with son and DIL. We…

Karla, prayers for your Dad and you. Hope the storm misses one and all. Enjoy your massage and dinner with your sweetie. Cindy, enjoy your vacation. Glad you are stopping by but don't worry about it while you are relaxing. Bert, prayers for Mike's family. Hope no more flooding is in store for them. I can totally understand…

Late night check in, worked about 5 hours at my son's new house. We finished cleaning up the last of the debris from the tree. This was about 90 minutes of raking and hauling in 85 degrees with 80+% humidity. That just saps my strength. Then we got to work inside in the A/C, yippee. Had to remove a shelving system from one…

I am off and running too. Lots of work to do. I did a scale hop this morning and i am down 2 more pounds. This is the same number I saw on Monday, before my tree hauling and sodium laden meal afterwards. Not going to record it but I think it is my true current weight. So next Tuesday should be a really good WI. I just…

Bright spot in my day, Once Upon a Time season 5 is on Netflix. Episode one is playing now. Had a nice day with Mom. Her eyes are getting worse, she can see distance but can't read. She said she lost all vision in the right eye, the one with the tumors about 10 days ago but didn't say anything because there was nothing to…

Up and ready to go to mom's as soon as I have my coffee. Worked like I was being paint last night, LOL! My son had cut down a huge tree, think nearly a sequoia, and we had to move all the branches and stack all the wood, basically pure manual labor at it's most physical. It was in the high 80's and we worked for a little…

We are home for a few minutes and then we are off to our son's new house to help with a tree he is cutting down. I am still reeling and trying to cope with what is going on. I would explain but it is such a complicated mess and I just don't have my head in the right place to put it in print. I appreciate all your prayers…

Quick stop to ask for your prayers. Family crisis that I can't go into. Suffice to say I am on the edge here and need some extra OMG love and support. This will be affecting my life and state of mind for the foreseeable future. Me, Edd and mom are fine. It is just too much for me to go into here. I AM NOT eating my stress,…

Friday!!!!! Pilates, packing, seeing son's new house then off to the cabin. It is going to be in the 90s and humid so I bet we spend most of our time on the boat or in the water. Karla, your morning sound like a perfect way to start the weekend. I talk to Susie on a regular basis but we have not seen each other in a few…

Janet, good luck with your procedure. I give that Dr kudos for not only knowing when to refer but also for recognizing and documenting the charming lady that you are. I bet he puts a call in to speed up the appointment for you. Today has been brutal for me too. This high humidity with the oppressive heat takes a toll on my…

Hey ya'll, up and dressed for the gym and done with my omelet. I have been alternating between omelets and smoothies. I have found that smoothies do not sit well in my tummy on the mornings I go to the gym. So save my omelets for those mornings. Have done well with my water before anything in the morning. Not so well with…

Lunch was wonderful. Had chicken breast with sun dried tomatoes, goat cheese, seasoned breadcrumbs (very little of those) and lemon. Severed with mashed potatoes and haricot berets that were cooked to perfection. Got the lunch portion and brought 1/2 of it home. The girl we were meeting is going to become a grandma for the…

Love Wednesdays, it has become my gf day. We are meeting another of our circle of friends for lunch at Bravos, one of my favorite restaurants. My go to meal was always tilapia Vera Cruz, but I have stopped eating tilapia after I did some research on how they are raised. I will have to check the menu before I go. They used…

Good afternoon, been at a dead run since I got up. And I forgot to weigh myself so will do that tomorrow. Plus it will give time to find/decorate my jars. Had dental appointment to get my crown. Then a Walmart stop for bird food, and some unexpected finds because of the clearance sale. Everything was 50%off the clearance…

Well dang it, huge post gone...... So here is short version Made 2 batches of pepper jelly, lots of work and time and mess. Then while I was typing my post I glanced at the recipe and I think I messed up the sugar, too much in the first batch and not enough in the second....just read it wrong. So mad at myself. Will…

Good morning and welcome to week two of PM! Have read all your posts but am in a bit of a rush. Going to Mom's shortly. Tomorrow I have a dentist appointment to have my permanent crown put on. I did pretty well with my food this weekend and was fairly active. We got the pool put up Saturday and it was wicked hot. Had…

It is a serene and foggy morning on my deck. Makes the gold finches stand out even more with their gorgeous neon yellow plumage. Dinner last night was not a total disaster but very carb heavy. They made pizza roll ups. Basically pizza dough with the usual toppings rolled, baked and sliced. No sides or veggies, oh well.…

What a busy group of women we are. Nice to see such positive energy and loving support. Love that we are all embracing Project Me at the same time. We are a force! Karla, safe travels and hope you are able to set a date for your surgery, at last! I think you are referring to Erin Stutland or Strutland. I still get her…

A great day for me.snapped back from that headache with super energy. Got everything on my list done and am feeling proud of myself. All my food is tracked. I got 88 ounces of water so far. Am whipped from the classes but it is a good whippin' lol. Will leave for the cabin after gym tomorrow. Helping our friend up the road…

Good morning, Karla, thanks for the quotes. Sending Glenn some healing and coping prayers. That is such a tough area to heal. I would be up for meeting with everyone but am somewhat financially restricted. Hoping we choose a place I can drive to. I never was a big fan of the Beck Book, she just seemed too pushy and "all or…

Good evening everyone, must be a busy day for all. Cindy, I concur with Janet. We will always be here to support you. You are so worth it, never forget that! Janet, thanks for reminding me of that rule. I hate that you have to pay so much for records that legally belong to you. But if it gets you to a place where you will…

TT: might as well answer this first so I can move forward. Yesterday was a train wreck and we will just leave it at that. So I am truly starting Project me today. It is raining again, but we and the farmers were in desperate need of a good soaking. I faced my biggest fears, weighed and measured. As bad as I thought but not…

So nice to see all the chatting going on here. Have really missed having such a large crowd here. Suzi, you are the queen of list making, I thought I had it nailed down pretty well but I bow to you. You have great insight into what makes you tick and what you need to pull it all together. I am so excited for your up coming…

PROJECT ME! Perfect name Cindy. Welcome home and loved your blog this week. Hope the return to work goes smoothly with little stress. Karla, great way to start off with attainable goals. So sorry Jason is having this fight with his ex. I have never understood this type of mentality. My son and his ex may have battled over…

Good morning from my deck at the cabin. A very different weekend for me as I have spent most of it by myself. Luckily I love my own company and have thoroughly enjoyed my weekend so far. Edd's cousin was killed on Wednesday while mowing hay when his tractor overturned on him. He was 70 and worked the farm his whole life.…

Karla, so sorry that the fistula is open again. Is UAB not an option for referral? Why MAO? I would think they are both on cutting edge for treatment. That gizmo sounds interesting. Can't wait to hear your review after you have used it for a while. Janet, so glad you are enjoying the Olympics. I am not a fan of watching…

Wow it is Thursday already! Where did this week go? Still need to hit the grocery for a few items. Only made it to Aldis and Walmart yesterday after my hair appointment. Of corse, if I had known Edd would be working until 9pm I would have friends finished my shopping last night instead of getting home to fix dinner. Had a…

Happy Wednesday ya'll! Can I just say I don't know how I have lived all these years without a food processor! I cannot believe how much time and work it saves me. I am a gadget queen so it is beyond me why I never bought one before now. End of my personal infomercial. Heading to my GF's house shortly to have lunch with my…

Quick good morning before I head to mom's. Picked up some fresh green beans at the farm market yesterday and will take her some. She loves them. Need to see if she needs me to pick up anything else. So nice to be able to do any little or big thing she needs done. I am well and truly blessed. Karla, glad you don't seem to…
