Good Saturday moring! What's happening???
Yippee! I get to start the thread today!
The weather here has been glorious. No humidity, perfect blue skys and low 80's. Yesterday, between clients, I spent my time outside in the sunshine soaking up some vitamin D and just enjoying being alive. Last night after dinner Gary and I took a nice long walk, so I really had a chance to enjoy the day.
I've been fighting some old eating habit demons this last few months. It's not been pretty, but I finally had a stern talking to with myself and hopefully I've gotten my head out of where it shouldn't be and am on the road to being back on the right track. I journal all my food on fitday, except for the creamy bites, the crackers I grab out of the box in the salon's color room while I'm mixing color, the M&M's that are on my friend's kitchen counter, the peanuts in the pantry, and so on, and so on. You get the idea. If I don't write it down it must not count, right? WRONG!!! So, back to planning and only eating what's on the plan. Wish me luck.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day. I'm going back for another cuppa!

It's a glorious morning in the neighborhood and as usual I am up with the birds.
Going out to Kroger in a bit to get some more Lean Cuisine meals....they are on sale for $2.20 each and will come in handy when I am recuperating from my hip surgery revision.
Think I may go check out a new bed today too -- want to downsize from the king size to a queen size.....living along (well I have a big cat)
I don't need all that huge bed....
Got three estimates on painting the master bathroom and bedroom.
The last guy was the best and he will come later this month.
DS is siding his pole building today - I'd help, but I'm worthless
at that kind of thing - besides standing around hurts.
Have a great day all,
Pat R.

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

I agree with Pat. Its a beautiful day here in Michigan. Chilly but that will get warmer.
I get to have the fun of cleaning carpets today. Yeck. but they need doing. Hubby says he will help but he don't do it like I like it done. He doesn't run it long enough to extract enough of the cleaning fluid. is all.
I think we will take our 3 yo fosters to Curwood festival. I'M sure a merry go round ride and some ice cream will be fun.
Have a good day everyone

Good morning all
Susan my dear - those demons are going to be slayed. You can and will knock them for a loop.
My fingernails were getting all lumpy and flakey. They have always been super strong so it bugged the heck out of me. I upped my protein and Biotin and they look so much better. Pure vanity.
The sun is shining and showing all the dust and streaks. Better get in gear and clean for a bit.
Kisses

Annette, does the biotin help to make the nails grow faster? Mine is not doing as well...might be with the no appetite I am not getting as much protein as I use to....and I want my nails to look as pretty as they use to. I have gotten to picking at them and so now they are aren't as long as they use to be. Between the two things you get the idea. I need help with growing them again.
Love you, big sis!

Brenda,
The surgical group has had 3 dietitians since I started 3 years ago. One said the Biotin PLUS protein helps with the nails. The two others said the Biotin doesn't do a thing but the protein helps. I trust the advice of the first one.
My protein had gotten low after the hernia surgery and that's when my nails started getting weak. It is impossible to know whi*****rease helped. Try both. You have lost weight, have a flat tummy, your hands need to be all pretty to match the rest of you.

My granddaughter (10 years old) decided she wanted to have her B-Day party and sleep over at MEME"S house. I have the pool. They were going to sleep in the tent, but she was to scared and they are all currently in the living room. I can hear them chatting at this time.
Today I get to go to my favorite store. (Wal-Mart) I will be getting all those last minute things the kids (teenagers) need to be comfortable while I am gone next week. What they consider REAL food. Things like Hot Pockets, pizza, and frozen dinners. I do look forward to getting out of the house for a while. Of course I will be cleaning house and taking down the tent. Well. hubby will do the work and I will supervise. LOL
Tomorrow I get to do my pre-prep for surgery. I am not looking forward to that. At least I don't have to start it until the afternoon. My stomach churns thinking about it. I think this is probably the worst part of the whole thing. But, I will survive it.
Anxious about Monday.

Good morning to you, Susan, it is nice to see you start us off this morning. I hope that today is good to you and to all my OFF family.
It started out a sunny day but now it is cloudy...we should be use to that though. Here it is almost 10:30 and I haven't done what I wanted to do...go sit in my swing. Maybe after chatting with my siblings here I will do that. Got to do it before the R word starts. Ick!
The visiting nurse was here and gone now. My normal one is off this weekend and so I got Dave today and someone else tomorrow since he is off tomorrow. I sure am meeting a bunch of new people. ha ha Dave said that the wound is looking pretty good. The skin is nice and pink and that is good. There is more drainage since I am feeling better and getting around more than I was. So far so good.....things are going in the right direction and what more can I ask for?
I called Linda yesterday and didn't get an answer. I did leave a message and asked someone to call me back. I told Olivia that if it was her to please call me and let me know how her mom was. So far I haven't heard anything. I am still keeping them all in my prayers. I know that our prayers and good thougths will help her....she is such a sweetheart.
Bill started his vacation in style this morning...he left to go fishing at 5 this morning. He got to sleep about 4 hours after getting home from work last night. I am glad that it is him and not me. There isn't much in this world that make me do something like that with the exception of rummage sales....now that is a horse of a different color. ha ha I guess to each their own. He went fishing with our nephew and they took the boat and was long gone.....they have been wanting to do that since David got the boat. They were going down to Logansport for the week end to do fishing but the weather is suppose to bad and have a lot of thunderstorms down there so they changed their minds and decided to stay around home. I am glad about that.
My appetite is still not good. I never in my life thought that I would have people telling me that I have to make sure that I eat every little bit. My heavens even Dr. Stanish is telling me the same thing. Who would have ever thought something like that would happen? ha ha
I guess I should get to moving. I have things around here that I want to get done and maybe I will accomplish some of them today....that would make it a great day for me. Just a bit at a time....I have to remember that.
I am sending my love and big hugs to all.....along with prayers for each and every one of you too. Have a great day and remember to smile and make your life happier along with doing the same thing to someone else.

Good morning Susan and everyone.....
Just a quick check in....got lots going on today. I was hoping Brenda had some news on Linda S....maybe later today.

Have a good day everyone!! Margo hope your travels are good and you are home safe and sound once again!
Special prayers to those in need....especially Linda S..
Love and hugs to all......connie d
