@HappyDonkey75 - read about your little dog, but so happy to read your post tonite saying she is doing a little better. Our pets are our family... I will say a prayer that she has many good days (years). @RuthanneBowers - I so understand about going to bed at a good time. I struggle with this as well... I tend to stay up…

Took a class today for Silver sneakers (ha. for old people). It was a lot of fun.. and I also met so many nice ladies. Many of them were my age, or even younger, so I think it will be a good one to take. I didn't even sweat.. so its not that intense, but it does really help with stretching, and core muscles, which I think…

SO far behind on posts... so when I get home I'll catch up! Its been a crazy month.. first, our daughters car needs the timing belt changed... which costs $3000! So, as a result, I am being mom taxi again... taking her to work when she works, picking her up, taking her to get haircut, going to the gym,runs, etc. I'm not…

Ha.. I'm still here. Just getting bad with posting and reading posts! But.. today I got on, and you guys are all doing so great. Its a busy day today, as we are having 4 couples over tonite, then tomorrow my high school girl friends are coming into town. I've know these girls going on almost 65 years (one I've know since 6…

I, like @cschmitz110515, have been thinking of how I successfully lose 38 pounds. I kept it off until covid.. then gradually have regained 20 of those pounds, and have been struggling to get back on track. Then, I started thinking... how did I lose that weight? How did I keep it off for close to 4 years, and how did I…

This is SO me.. I have been thinking of how I successfully lost 38 pounds . (only to regain 20 of those back). Thanks for wrirting this ...we know it works if we do the work!

MIA again.. where did the summer go! I've been busy, but sadly, not been tracking my food, and my weight reflects this! WHy is all this so hard.. it should not be that difficult. So, trying to get back to tracking, drinking my water, and stop the snacking. On the plus side... I am so good with the gym part. I now go to the…

@Snowflake1968 - best of luck on the job interview! @PackerFanInGB - I laughed when you said you got to sewing and didn't log! Thats been my problem so much.. if I don't do it right away, I forget. Ha.. priorities are sewing!! @aerochic42 - there are so many days where I make good choices all day, then days where the…

This is the quilt I just finished.. ha.. never again! It looks 3D from a distance, but not from close up. The picture is before I put on the black borders... but I'm not too excited about it. Not sure what I'll do with it. It was suppose to be for my grandson for xmas.. but I don't like that you have to stand back to see…

A busy day today.. gym in the morning, filled out paperwork that hubby has been putting off doing for 4 months... mowed the grass... cleaned out the refrigerator and freezer.. then went for a 4 mile walk after dinner. And I am cutting out strips for a new quilt to make. A very colorful quilt... but I misread the pattern,…

MIA again.. so time to get back on track!! We just got back from a trip to Michigan.. our son gives off a large fireworks display, and this year he invited the entire town. So we worked our butts off! But it was spectacular.. over 3000 people there! I helped direct traffic ..over 750 cars. It was so nice of my son to do…

I really need to get back to posting on here... I've been in an emotional eating frenzy since we got back from our trip to Michigan. I don't know why I do this.. and then I feel awful. OK.. this morning... there were 2 pieces of Silk Chocolate Pie leftover from our daughters birthday. I keep telling her to take it home,…

Super late again getting on here. I should have gotten on before I went to the store to get a gallon of ice cream.. and ate 2 bowls. But... I bought frozen yogurt, so a little less in calories. Busy day today. Had an appt with dermologist, and he removed 2 spots on my face for bioposy. Hope its not cancer.. as its right at…

I had to search back 12 pages to find my last post.. and I know I have missed so much inbetween. Had a wonderful visit with our son, and grandkids. Watched our first grandson graduate from HS, then watched him coach flag football... 8 year olds. He loves it, and just found out his little team won the championship. So proud…

It took me Forever to find my post where I am recording my weight for the challenge. I need to get back to doing this. I've gotten so off track this month... with house quest for 5 days and eating whatever I wanted to.. and not recording my weight in I don't know howlong! So back to recording. I had ONE WEEK where I…

OMG -- I love this house!! Love the big porch!!!

Praying for all you guys affected with yesterdays storms!! I am from Iowa.. they had 18 tornados touch down. Very sad, and scary. We are in line for storms today, but it just rained, so hoping that stabilized the atmosphere so we don't have bad storms. You all take good care!! \@ @HappyDonkey75 -- welcome to the group!!…

@PackerFanInGB -- THis is the quilt I am working on for my grandson!! Lots of pieces, but its actually going together pretty good. This is not my quilt.. just the pattern. I'll post mine when I'm finished. I'm making it using grays.

This happened to me... and I don't think its your "fitness level". Was it hot? I used to ride close to 30 miles at a time, but one time, I was like you... I just couldn't keep going. Except I got off, and nearly passed out. Some walkers happened to see me.. and called hubby to come and get me. My doctor told me what I…
