in Ohio, it's Tuesday...so what's new??

You are absolutely right Linda.  It's not that I'm dissatisfied, I just though maybe I'd be at 60 or 70 pounds by now.  I probably would be if I exercised more.  I'm working it and not giving up.  The gym I was going to join up here is being sold, so I'll have to wait and see if the new owner keeps it in the same place or moves it.  The seller doesn't know what her plans are regarding that.  I need to look for someplace else now.  I have a lifetime membership at Fitness USA, but there are no facilities up here so I'm outta luck.

Mary,

You're at a stall point, not uncommon, take your measurements if you haven't begun to do so and you will see body changes before scale ones often enough. . .  shake up your routine, via a different workout, food choices, be sure you are getting everything you need in and the scale will move again. . .  I had one stall that lasted about 11 weeks, but that was at about 7 or 9 months. . .

Take care, you're doing great!

HI Laureen,

I have to do more excercise I think.  I just can't get out of the 192 weight no matter what I do.  I have lost in inches so I am thankful about that.  I get enough protein in and I substitute it with protein drinks.   I will try and do what you say it might just work!

Thanks for responding...

I can't believe it Mary.  We're right at the same weight spot too.  Kind of freeky.  We're like two peas in a pod the two of us.  Today I've had Protein Chai Tea and a protein shake.  Tonight I'll eat cottage cheese and maybe some cheese and crackers, and maybe do a couple of sit-ups, or not....

Margo,
Thinking of you and Michael and sending really good vibes.
I know we dont' know each other really but I do feel for you.  You once offered me a shoulder and an ear when I had a particularly bad day and I still have not forgotten your kindness.  Please know I too am here if you want to chat but I understand if you don't want to.  Just know my thoughts and prayers go out to you.

morning or should i now say afternoon...lol its noon now so i guess good afternoon....

well last night rick hooked up MY pc and it is running but he had to put my monitor on it and it is so hard to see...its fading away and i need a new one now...his monitor the screen shrinks way up...tried and tried to make it larger but didn't work...sighs...atleast mine is moving somewhat faster now...wooohooo

went to dentist this morning for teeth cleaning...said my gums were receding now...i felt it when they cleaned them thats for sure...he also asked how my root canal tooth was doing since i was last there...i told him i wished i never let him do it...he said he would take it all out and redo it and se if that worked...i asked him if it was ALL free...he said YES sooo now do i have him do it over or keep being in pain at times?

as for my forgetting the vitamins i can't blame it all on ric****ep them in my pocket and take to work but i still forget to take them  and that makes me so mad...GRRRR i never was a pill taker so maybe that is why???

i will try to get a picture of my afghan when its done or atleast when its started so you can get a somewhat idea of what it will lokk like....;-) it is looking pretty so far with all the colors in the bag...

pat glad you liked the orange marmalade!!! and THANKYOU!!!!

margo prayers and thoughts are with you and michael today and the days to come!

well rick wants to go to walmart before i go to work so i will get off here now and take him. i want to look at a few things there also.

The only sure way I have of remembering my vitamins is to set the alarm on my cell phone.  I know to take my iron and calcium two hours apart so I just take everything two hours apart.  I take my first Multi-vit and B-12 Sublinguals then set the alarm for two hours later.  Take calcium set alarm; take iron set alarm; take calcium set alarm; then before bed I take my second multi and B12's.  If you are not allowed to have your cell on at work a small alarm clock would work.  It is a hasle but not as much trouble as getting sick.

Good Afternoon All!

Still missing Judy and Carla from the regular poster mix, perhaps they'll show up later. . .  but good to see some of my "dear" friends who I never would have gotten to know as Candy so well put it!  I am blessed to have found a place populated with people who generally have such caring ways about them.

Margo, dear friend, I miss you and we had a talk or two when we were in Pittsburgh last year and I want you to know that anytime you need a shoulder to lean on, I am here.  I wish you and Michael many more years together and hope that his health improves some.  I often think how sad it is that when we've gone through so much of life, have learned more how to enjoy it most, that it is unfair oftentimes our bodies just won't let us enjoy the things we've certainly looked forward to enjoying!

George, funny thing about the mix, off the top of my head, I actually know two people who are Jets and Yankee fans and Mets and Giant fans. . .  go figure. . .   lol

Have a great day, I need to get back to work. . .

Hugs, prayers and positive thoughts, Laureen

PS  Janet you are so sweet to say such nice things about me ;)

Hi All,
Im here but didnt post yesterday. I had a migraine from He??. I am somewhat better today. I did get out!!!!!
Not much going on here on the home front. I got my little herb garden planted again and that is about it.
We are planning a trip to Chicago and Michigan November 2nd for about 10 to 12 days. We are driving up there cause I need a car.
Hoping to go to see Margo and Phyllis along the way somehow.
Prayers out to Margo and I tried to call her but she didnt pick up. Maybe shell call me later.
Nothing else going on in my world. Im going to go and take a nap and maybe knock this headache away. If it isnt gone by tomorrow Im going to go to the doc.
Carla

And what about me? Don't you want to see me? I want to see you.
