Got out for a nice walk last nite.. and this morning got to the gym. Today was a much better day. Daughters pain is better.. she seems in better spirits, even though she thinks by January she will be out running again, and able to go back to work (she only works maybe 4-6 hrs a week anyhow, but working and running are her…

OH.. I'm so glad I'm done with having periods!! I was always in a moody/ crying/ bad mood!! But .. you are right! Don't let a couple of days throw things off.. in the long run, we are all going to have days when we just can't stay on track. Remember the 80/20 rule... 80% on track, 20% off track! You are doing great!!

Plans for today, sunday, 12/15 1. GO for a walk! It is nice outside... I need the air and exercise. I can do this while daughter is sleeping 2. concentrate on protein, lower carbs, low sugar 3. pot roast in crockpot for easy dinner 4. go to daughters apartment.. get her mail, clean our refrigerator 5. another load of…

I need to get better focused on my health.. weight just keeps creeping up, but its because of emotional eating. So I need to be more focused on that. Daughter is here.. her surgery went well, but worse than we expected. She has 2 plates in, and 10 screws, basically fusing the bones together. She also has torn ligaments. So…

I love how you list things to do.. I need to start doing it that way!! And wow.. 30 people over!! Thats a crowd.. hopefully you have people helping you cook!!

Trying to get back to posting now that I am back from Michigan. I had a good time, except when on the last day I locked my grandsons keys in his car while the car was running. He had to get to college.. so he took his moms car, which his mom was not too happy about. I called AAA to unlock his car, which they did, but…

OMG Bex.. reading your post brought tears to my eyes. I am so very very sorry. All I can say.. prayers for you and Ash, and for your children, and many hugs to all of you. But.. I also believe in miracles.. so don't give up! Ashs mother is still with you... and its one day at a time. The rest is in God's hands.

Have a wonderful time!! We missed you!

Just a quick post ... these are the quilts I sent off to my brothers. They got them last saturday.. and you know.. I have not heard a word from them yet. So many times this happens.. and have to admit.. sometimes it makes me wonder why I work so hard to make something, and they can't even be kind enough to send me a text…

@cschmitz110515 --- OUCH!! I had that happen to me once when walking.. I split my chin open, and needed 13 stitches. You take good care of yourself.. hoping for a speedy healing!

OK.. note to self... I don't have to eat all this junk that is still left from when our sons visited!! I did get rid of most of the sweets.. but I had bought Trader Joes muffins... sent daughter home with one 4 pack, and tonite I will give her the other 4 pack. But... I love the cinnamon ones.. so I'm keeping those. But...…

Just saw this part... OH NO!! I've had that happen just once.. now "IF" I wash before giving I always use color catchers, and when I don't wash.. I send them the color catchers with instructions. As for the batting... can you just restitch in the ditch? That should hold down the batting. But.. it is beautiful, and your…

Beautiful quilt !!!! You did a beautiful job... your granddaughter will love it!! I agree with the "after washing" look. I never wash my quilts before I give them.. because I like them better before they are washed LOL!! And congrats on your Livestrong class... so proud of you, and so happy you joined the Y! I love to…

Family has all left. I have SO much food leftover. I sent a lot of it home with daughter, and luckly, a lot of the stuff I had left I can freeze.. mostly stuff we had grilled. I made a huge pasta salad, and between us eating it for 2 days, and giving a lot to our daughter, that is about gone. The sweets.. well.. they are…

This is SO me!! You are and I both about the same weight (my weight this morning was 211.. my goal is 175. ) And I am the same way. My colesterol is really good, my AIC is good, I feel good, I have energy to work out.. but I KNOW I need to lose these 20-30 pounds. I am 73, and I know as I get older it is harder and harder.…

@cschmitz110515 your little dog is So cute. So hard to see little ones suffer... but glad she is doing ok! and @Bex... OMG!! You be careful girl!! That has to hurt.. praying for a very speedy recovery for you!! @HappyDonkey75 -- You have a lot going on! Prayers that your mother feels better from covid, and your husband..…

Our son and his family are flying in tomorrow, so I've been busy baking and getting stuff ready. They have 5 kids.. so there will be 10 of us. Normally we go out to eat.. but with 10 of us, we knew how expensive that would be. But we go out to eat because one grandson will only eat chicken strips or hamburgers.. he is…

Been MIA again... this retirement is nice, but boy, I sure manage to keep busy, and don't take the time on the computer as much. I need to change that.. at least log all my food and post on here! Scale is going up... emotional eating. Having some issues again with our daughter, which makes me worry and eat mindlessly. Why…

@pridesabtch; -- Hugs to you! I took care of my mother, but that was because of cancer, so I never experience what you are going through with your mother. I can't imagine how hard that must be. All I can say is vent all you want here... we are all here for you with many hugs to you! Your such a good daughter... your mother…
