I heard that Thailand is the most beautiful place anywhere! What a great trip!
Julia,
Did I tell you that I am going to Thailand in July of 2017. I am sort of excited. So, Thai food out the yang for me....of course, if the Thai food turns out to be like the Chinese food when I went to China, I'll end up eating crackers the entire time I'm there....
Hello Ladies,
I walked today. I tried to walk two miles but barely made 1.5....My knee is giving me fits and I hate pushing it because I am not ready for any more surgery.
I brought celery and carrots to work to eat for snack foods and when I went to get a handful, there were no celery sticks and only carrots...I think we have a food thief. LOL....
When it cools off a bit, I'm going to try to walk a little more. I really think if I can up my exercise routine a bit, I can get these damn last few pounds off. Grrrr. I hate when I know what I need to do but I just cannot find the time.
BTW, I have started eating raw anise and it's very good. I think I have found a new raw vegetable to grove on.
Well gotta get off here and do some cleaning. I swear my cats think it is perfectly fine to carry small bites of food and deposit them in my kitchen floor.....
Ladies, have a good night.
Hi All,
I just got back from lunch with two of my women friends...lunch was great (Thai) and the friendship time even better. I need to have friends. I don't need people constantly, but women friends that will listen without judgement are priceless.
I finished cleaning out my bathroom drawers yesterday...threw away a couple of bags of old stuff...I still need to do the underneath cabinets but not today.
I have TOPS tonight. I weighed this morning and it looks like I've lost five pounds. Hmmm. Maybe my husband should leave more often!
Happy Day everyone!
Julia
Hi Ladies,
I got up early to go to the laundromat before it gets busy. I have breakfast out. Came home and put the clothes away. I did my exercise inside today because it's cold and rainy. Now I'm waiting for my friend to call me so I can go visit her.
I noticed I've been eating better since I gave into my craving the other day. I did lose 3 pounds this week. I was surprised.
Everyone have a good day.

I went to my stitching group today! I actually stitched a bit and didn't talk much!!! My sister is driving me nuts! I wish she would go back up north! It can't be soon enough!!! She constantly wants to be in my business! I don't want her to be in my personal business! It's not her business to know what goes on in my life financially! She wants me to put my brothers truck in my name and I don't want that responsibility! I won't do it!
I have enough of my own stuff to deal with!
Enough said!
Im having a scope done tomorrow to see if my ulcer is heeled. I'm hoping I don't have to stay over night. Ya and she also said something about that! I told her to leave! I had enough of her crazy mouth!
Today she is sweet as pie cause now she wants gas money to go home June 1st. Guess what, I'm not giving her a dime! She can get it from her boyfriend!!! Or husband!
See I'm now in a pissy mood! I need to go Camping! Friday can't get here quick enough!!!

Good Morning Linda. Thanks for starting a lot of posts lately!
I am on a mission to re-focus on my nutrition/exercise goals...one day at a time. I am hoping to do 40 minutes of walking every day this week in addition to more moving and less sitting. I also need to cut back on carbs! I did get my walk in yesterday, did some gardening & housework plus some work with my dumbbells. Plus I trimmed a huge bush we have in our side yard...lol. So that was progress. I ate & drank better as well.
Also got a call from the job I applied for. I have never waited this long before to get started or had the pre-employment process drag out so long! But I go for orientation Thursday so maybe I will get an assignment soon...I will be a PT in-home caregiver to pick up some spending money!
I would love to do a dance class...or just dance, but this darn a-fib puts a damper on that. I can only get my heart rate up to 150, and since my beat is so erratic anyhow I have to pace myself. This condition was either a gift from my dad or one to myself for untreated sleep apnea related to what else but my obesity. Ugh!
Anyhow, let me get the ball rolling before it rains again!
Trish, good to hear from you. Hope that foot gets less and less painful!

Good Morning Linda and OFF,
I have to run some errands, and then I have a therapy appointment at 1:00. I need to pick up a prescription for pain meds, coz the foot still hurts, and my watch at a jeweler in town. Sean gave me a watch for my birthday in November, and a link on the chain lost a pin last week, when I was out with Frankie for his birthday.
I have been trying to get my walking up to 5,000 steps a day, and I've only done that once in the past two weeks, so today, I am striving to do just that.
As for eating, I am increasing my water, but not enough. Need to get more seltzer water while I am in town. I like seltzer water, more than any other. It's my favorite. I will drink filtered, or spring water, if it's ice cold. I don't mind if seltzer water isn't too cold. It's weird, but that's me. Food wise, I am doing okay there. Not perfect where sugar is concerned, but making wise choices throughout the majority of the day.
Must scoot.
Hugs,
Trish

Good morning one and all.
Today I get to clean house and do laundry. Yeah 
. Not fun but I can't take clutter for very long. This afternoon I will be going to a line dance class. That will be my exercise for the day plus whatever walking I do.
What is getting you up and at em today?
I love the outdoors but only within certain parameters. I can not be hot. Hot to me is a much lower temp than for most folks. I say I love to garden twice a year. April and October. I love temps between 45 and 70. If I hike or work outside and it is any warmer than 70 I overheat and get all kinds of physical symptoms. I love animals but have allergies so I don't have any. I love watching horses run. They are magnificent animals. I also like miniature donkeys. I find goats comical. I have often thought I would prefer the company of animals to that of people. There is such beauty in nature and innocence in the animals. I am not naïve I know that a whole lot of animals would just as soon eat me or maul me as look at me but I still find them fascinating.
