WeirdEyes Posted June 22, 2009 #2451 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hey Jan & everyone! I had a busy weekend. I probably was on my foot too long, but I have to get things done. My house needed some TLC since I've been unable to clean properly. My DH & DS don't seem to see the dirt that I see. Imagine that! :rolleyes: I've got my workout clothes with me today and I plan to go to the gym after work and do some upper body weights and ride the exercise bike. I hope I can go longer on a higher level than last week. I just full so fat! Jan ~ I hear ya about the scales. I don't even like facing them right now. I do weigh every Thursday, but that's it. You should be excited that you're losing inches and your "too small" clothes are starting to fit. GREAT JOB! Belle ~ Are you home yet? How was the cruise? Luv, Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted June 25, 2009 Author #2452 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Enjoyed my cruise or should say our cruise. Weather was good most of the time. Loved Canada. Also loved the long balcony but not being aft. I like midship. (got my exercise walking back and forth Every Day!) LOL Sheila glad your doing better. You put me to shame, still exercising with your ankle and I keep making excuses not to. Jan keep up the good work. Plugging along is all we can do. Find any new clothes in your closet? Isn't it funny how our "kids" keep getting older and we stay the same age! Corky how are you doing. Are you eating right? Exercising? Well now I have to get on the ball and get with it. Need to feel better, vacations are fun but you still come back to all the stress...it doesn't go away. Need to exercise and eat better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to exercise and eat better! Not eating right - I am NOT overeating and NOT eating sweets - I eat at 11am - two pieces of toast with a thin spread of peanut butter then nothing until 7 pm - full meal of chicken and veggies ... somehow I know it's not right but I am busy right now with lots of projects so I haven't been regulating myself - no weight gain, no loss either. I should do better by Monday when my annual Class reunion is over and I can be more normal with my time. Corkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cctn Posted June 25, 2009 #2455 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Corkey Carol (I like that!) ~ You are so funny, but I have been mistaken for my DS's girlfriend. However, he looks much older because he has a full beard. I think eating healthy and exercise help us keep a youthful appearance also. I have my slip ups, but do try to always eat as healthy as I can. I'm not a big veggie person, but get at least 1 or 2 in a day. How's everything going with you? Donna, Carol & Jan ~ How are all of you? I rode the exercise bike again last night for 35 minutes. I did pretty good with my ankle and my knee. My ankle actually feels better today. My range of motion is increasing also. Have a good day, ladies! :) Sheila Glad your knee is better - I need to start on my stat. bike next week - I always feel better when I do. Hubby walks everyday - He walks fast and I can't keep up, also I have allergies and where he goes, too many weeds so I can't join him.

cctn Posted June 25, 2009 #2456 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hi All ... It is a rainy weekend here and we aren't 'spose to see the sun until Wednesday or Thursday. I've been doing some of my "spring" cleaning. I have a very old dog (she's 17) and sheds like its going out of style ... but she's healthy and happy. I also have a 17 yr old son, who also seems to shed :rolleyes: ... clothes, shoes, bottles, cans, wrappers, etc. It is a no win situation at my house. After 3 kids, and a DH, I've learned to live by the "Oh Well" rule. I've started a new way of doing things this week. (I'm also very proud that I have been going to the gym and still watching what goes in the mouth). I have a "thing" about checking scales ... with the weight loss being soooo slow, its frustrating. I have actually not weighed myself since Thursday morning :eek: .... I will check on Monday. Hopefully I'll be down a 10th of a pound or so ... when I weigh myself on an every day basis ... one day down ... one day up ... its discouraging .... so I just won't weigh every day. I've also been "playing the closet game" ... I have clothes that have been too small for a little while .... every week I get into the closet and try them on .... just a touch looser every time .... I'm not getting discouraged. My middle child turned 25 yesterday ... doesn't seem possible ... he's still in Colorado, enjoying his life ... I don't know where the years have gone. How is everyone else doing? Hope all is well. Jan Ha! ha! I love the similarities of BOTH your 17 yr olds!! Corkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirdEyes Posted June 25, 2009 #2457 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hey girls! Belle ~ Glad to hear you enjoyed your cruise! I would love to visit Canada one day. I know it is beautiful. I bet you didn't gain an ounce being in an aft cabin. I'm with you though, I need mid-ship. Corkey ~ Honey, you really need to try and get more food into your body. You are slowing down your metabolism big time. Listen to me because I've done the same thing. Get you some protein bars and keep them with you and eat one when you can't have a good meal. You need at least 1200 calories a day for your body to function correctly. I'm not fussing at you, I promise. I'm just concerned. I have a lot of outdoor allergies also. This time of year is really rough on me. My DH used to walk a lot faster than me, but now I beat him. LOL I'm going to try to do the stationary bike again tonight. Hugs, Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugs, Sheila Thanx Sheila - I guess I know that - in fact, that's what I tell the hubby - cuz his metabolism is so fast - that he needs to eat - and here I am, not following my own orders. I just ate a bagel right now and a piece of non-fat banana bread that I had to make cuz I had some rotten banana's! ha! ha! tonight will be green salad with garbanzo beans all the greens in the world and a small piece of chicken enchilada casserole - I will not stop my favorites, just cuttin' back... seems to work with me - I used to just eat "diet" food but didn't work - diet being all the good stuff supposedly - but now I do better just eatin' what I really like, just not as much. I need to get into a dress for a Jul 26th wedding - it fits but I want it to be semi loose and it'll look better... corkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirdEyes Posted June 26, 2009 #2459 Share Posted June 26, 2009 That's good to hear, Corkey. I'm sure you know what to do to lose what you need to. You'll look great in that dress! I make banana bread also when my bananas get too ripe. I just hate wasting them. I have a great Weight Watchers recipe.

Belle Posted July 1, 2009 Author #2461 Share Posted July 1, 2009 How's everyone doing? Sorry I haven't been on much. Can't believe I've only been home a week and two days. Seems like the cruise was so long ago! I like longer cruies! LOL Sheila..Did you get your boot off? Jan..How's the closet shopping going? Corky..Is the dress getting "looser"? Donna..Where are you? How's Joe? Carolyn..Where are you? Busy with the kids? Baby..Did we lose you for good? Did I miss anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dress is NOT as tight - but as soon as I can button it, I'll know I have made progress.. actually it's meant not to be buttoned - it's light jacket top but that's my measuremt at the moment - the buttons!! thanx... I feel better - I have been eating lots of salads and broiled chicken. Corkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Posted July 3, 2009 Author #2464 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Happy Fourth Of July! Whatever plans you have or if you just plan to relax.. Enjoy! We're spending the day at the river on the fourth with our friends (been doing for years) drinking and eating! (will try to be good) Seeing my mother Friday for the day. Doesn't know it's the fourth and won't care either way. It's sad. They use to go camping with friends on these days. See you on Monday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted July 7, 2009 Author #2465 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Where are you ALL? Hope you had a good weekend. Lots of fun and not to much food. I've been in a rut for such a long time.. trying to climb out of it. Think we're planning another cruise. Seems like our year of cruising. Winning the money helped with that. Hope to hear from you all soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirdEyes Posted July 7, 2009 #2466 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Hey girls! Sorry I've been M.I.A., but I've been away and busy with work and other things. I don't have much to report as my eating has not been too good. I haven't been exercising either. I know I'll show a gain this week. It's what I get for playing around. :o Belle ~ I guess you could say that I'm in the rut with you. Sigh. I hope we get out of it soon.

Belle Posted July 10, 2009 Author #2467 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hope your all having a good week. Mine's so-so. Trying to eat better. Did alright tonight, went out to dinner for husbands birthday. I got a big salad. brought half home. Ate one piece of bread. Ice Tea. No dessert. NOW to keep it up. Seeing my mother tomorrow, taking her for blood test. Try to play some games. Trying to keep her mind working. Sheila sorry you still have to wear the boot. Hope the ankle is getting better. Know it bothers you not to be exercising as much. Corkey it's good to eat less food at each meal. That's what we all have to do. Is your jacket buttoning yet? Keep up the good work. Jan why aren't you posting? See you at weigh-in. Great your losing even if half a pound at a time. It's a LOSS! Better than staying the same like me all the time. Please post here for us. Miss you. Carolyn are you still out there? Hope you haven't given up. WE can't do that. Donna WE would love to hear from you. How's your husband and mother? Baby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted July 12, 2009 #2468 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Wow - Didn't realize I wasn't posting!!! Well, I had a very interesting Friday ... I was working late (I work at a financial insitution) and I'm upstairs away from most people. I guess they were closing the lobby and the drive thru was still open when they had to leave the building ... A 4 yr old kid was playing in a car that rolled down a hill and managed to hit our propane tanks (underground with baricades (sp) around two sides) the car clipped the tops off, the tanks are buried, and had just been filled with 1000 gal. of fuel. The child was fine (the father thought it was funny) ... had propane shooting up to my windows on the second floor ... needless to say I was out quickly ... we could not leave as the tellers hadn't cashed up and we couldn't get our cars. I guess we were very lucky that it didn't explode. They said it would have taken out the whole block if it had ignited. Five hours later we were allowed back in. I'm amazed how quickly life could change! Also DD decided to move back home ... she had been living with her boyfriend (they've been together about 5 years) ... It is for the best, she's great to have around - her bedroom is now my office, so it is rather tight around here .... I'm hoping that within a few months she is back on her feet. It really hasn't been a really big deal for her to do this (she should have done this years ago). Life is always changing. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirdEyes Posted July 13, 2009 #2469 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hey girls! Belle ~ Did you have a nice time with your mother other than the blood tests? I hope she's doing well. You were so good at your DH's birthday dinner. Great job! Jan ~ That is just an amazing story! I think it is awful that the father thought it was funny. I guess he wouldn't have thought it was funny if the car had exploded with his little one in it. Some people! :eek: I'm going to the ortho doc on Wed and we'll see what he says about the boot. My ankle isn't improving. Not sure what he can do though. Hugs, Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted July 15, 2009 Author #2470 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Jan..Glad nothing "blew up" and you and everyone was safe. That dad needs a talking too. See if he's still laughing when his son keeps doing stupid things because he thinks it's funny! Sheila..Hope you get answers from your doctor. Do you think you might need surgery? Take it easy with your exercise, know you miss it but don't hurt yourself more. Corkey..How are you doing? Keeping with it? Same o Same o here. Mother doing so so too. Other things going on too. Sometimes I think I'm going crazy. Some might think I'm there already! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted July 15, 2009 #2471 Share Posted July 15, 2009 It was a crazy day Friday --- We (6 of us) have gone around being amazed that we didn't blow up --- the firemen say that they don't understand why we didn't and that it was a miracle that we didn't -- it should have blown up and taken out a whole block of the town. There would have been 100's of deaths. We would have been dead The man that is the CEO/President of the place where I work didn't show up during the 5 hours that we were all there (I had to go back into the building once with the firemen) ... I talked with him on the phone a few times (He lives in the same town as work). He is now telling me that he didn't show up on purppse as he wanted to see how we would do under pressure in an emergency without him being there.

Belle Posted July 16, 2009 Author #2472 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Your "boss" should of come in and seen how you all were. Think he is saying that to"save face". I wouldn't let my workers be there alone. I'm just glad you and the others are alright. Just thinking what could or should of happen. You all were so lucky! Sheila did you say you were going to the doctors, what did he say about your ankle? Corkey hope your still hanging in. Miss Donna, Carolyn and Baby. COME BACK AND SAY HELLO!

WeirdEyes Posted July 16, 2009 #2473 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hello girls! I went back to the ortho doc yesterday and he took the boot off and put me in a brace. I really believe that the boot was a hindrance so I'm glad to be in the brace. I have PT 3 days a week for 3 weeks. I exercised last night on the bike and it felt so good. I have Bunco tonight so I won't be exercising, but will tomorrow. I haven't gained a lot of weight, but I have inches. My clothes are tight and I'm mad. I know it can't be helped. All of the sitting around I've done has really slowed down my metabolism. Belle ~ You're not going crazy. You just have a lot of stuff on your plate, as usual. Take care of yourself! Jan ~ I agree with Belle re: your boss. :rolleyes: Do you agree with what he did? I hope you're doing well. Hugs, Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted July 18, 2009 Author #2474 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Sheila..Glad you got the boot off. Hope the brace and PT help you heal faster. Jan..You doing alright? Sometimes after something happens and you think about it, you get more upset. Hope both and who esle is reading this have a good weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted July 26, 2009 Author #2475 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I'm going to come on here everyday till everyone starts talking again. Did you have a good weekend? Did you eat right? Exercise?
