Linda, I went to Catholic School where good grammar was really beat into you...no pun intended...lol.
I also try to proof my posts before hitting 'enter' but most times I forget. Like you, bc I might be trying to respond in a hurry or I am typing from my home or tablet I either make mistakes or spellck likes to misquote me or look like I'm incapable of putting a sentence together that is grammatically correct!
I think as long as our message gets posted our good intentions take priority over any mistakes. I hope do anyway!

Julia and Ladies,
I will post more later but wanted to drop by and say, yes, it was a great success and hopefully many will hang around for a while.
I am setting up my next iron infusion and hope that it happens before I take off for KC for the AP scoring. LOL....I need the extra energy.
Catch you guys later this evening.

Hi there, can identify with lots in your post. Like you am also on post cancer med,am on Femara, with pretty much same brutal side effects like your Arimidex such as insomnia and bone pain ( Femara leaches calcium from bones).
You mention you are on painkillers, can you mention by name and dosage? I have bone pain from Femara, but also lots off arthritis (polymyalgia arthritica) and my IBS/Diverticulitis which flares when I least expect it and at other times because haven't eaten right.
NSAID helps me function but cannot take them daily, mentioned it in a post here last week...so am wondering what you take for pain?
Thanks for sharing,
Jennifer
Good morning Julia and those to come
I enjoyed catching up with everyone also.
I am doing what you are doing as well. I drink a protein shake for breakfast most days. Sometimes I'll eat oatmeal with blueberries, bananas, and walnuts. I make mindful choices the rest of the day. I eat fruit, cheese, nuts, etc for snacks. I move. That's relatively new for me but I am doing it. I eat bread more than I should but it has always been my downfall. Its healthy bread with oats and seeds and such but bread all the same. Since my back surgery in September I have lost 20 pounds. Prior to surgery I was unable to move without pain and my weight climbed. my goal is to lose another 10 by the end of the year. That doesn't sound like much but if I do that and then loose another 30 next year I'll be well out of the 200's. That pace is ok with me. I travel so much and eat out a lot as the result and the hidden calories are there even when you make good choices. I don't know what they marinade their chicken in, how much fat and salt they use, so it is hard to estimate calories. I am not 20 anymore and could care less about trying to impress or win approval from others. I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin however loose it gets.
have a good day everyone
I wanted to start a thread for today. The reunion seems to be over. I really was pleased with it...most of the oldies that were invited did show...I could only invite the people on my FaceBook list so most that said they would come did. A couple didn't show, but we knew that the angry group probably wouldn't...they were invited though, if they were still on my list. It was a great success...it was so good to talk with many that haven't been on in years. I hope they come back once in a while if not for good. If not it was still great to see them.
This thread process is really helping me right now. I am still having lapses of judgement of course, but the accountability of telling you what I am trying is truly making a difference in my success. I was down another pound this week at my weigh in and that makes my weight loss this month almost six pounds. I am not dieting. I have just started drinking a protein shake for breakfast, kept healthy snacks available, and limited the kinds of things that I might have bought before that are sliders or have sugar. I am also still doing the self care by meditating, coloring, and adding art classes to my days.
I got through my birthday alright. I got lots of messages of love...wished my husband was better about getting me a gift....you know, the usual, at least for me.
How are all of you?
Julia
See here I go again. Upon rereading, that last sentence made me sound kinda depressed. I am not. It was meant to read light heartedly. Wow, it's bad when your disclaimer needs a disclaimer.
Good Morning ladies
Every time I post I go back an reread but I always miss something. So this is to say that I know....asking questions end in a question mark. Proper nouns begin with a capitol letter as does the first word of a sentence. I wish I could say I remember all the rules concerning commas. I don't. I know how to spell most words but dang it I find I am having trouble remembering the spelling of the simplest words. True to today's society I am also almost always in a hurry. All this to say please ignore all the grammar errors, spelling mistakes, and typos. I truly am an educated woman. Sometimes I just don't care.

Well there you go again being busy, busy, busy. Good for you. I am so happy for your success. Last 3 day workshop I attended was a Dulcimer Jamboree and I was exhausted by the last class. All I had to do was attend, I can only imagine the amount of work it took to prepare for it and to lug all the materials. I lugged two instruments, a music stand, and all my accessories and that was more than enough for me, and now you get to do it all over again. I need a week to recover.
Congrats on your 4 pounds. It's amazing how we loose in cir****tances that seem most unlikely. I always loose on cruises. I think it is because I am so busy that boredom eating never sets in. Also there is so much food everywhere that even if I indulge after the first couple of days it is all unappetizing to me. I shouledlive on a cruise ship until I make goal.
