So much for minimizing

Well, I went into the basement thinking I would just bring up the outdoor decorations…of course I had to bring up all 5 boxes and not only is the outside decorated, but inside is on its way too.  Just got going and couldn’t stop.  It did keep me away from food…until I went to the [...]

Howling Winds Outside the Windows

Yes, winter is most definitely here in upstate NY.  The windows are rattling away here in our upstairs bedroom.  Lets see…still struggling with the weight, but did re-join the gym this weeks and met with a trainer to put together a plan.  Three days of aerobics and two days of strength/week with walking on the [...]

Back to the cold and reality

We had a shortened, but wonderful trip to Hawaii.  Shortened, because 2 days before we were to leave, our youngest DD ended up in the hospital.  She has bi-polar illness, and had a manic episode that required a few days to get her stablized.  Seems she had not been taking her medication regularly and then [...]

October update

Hi all,
Well, I just lost a whole 2 paragraphs of my post…so here we go again.  It’s peak leaf season in upstate NY…but with the rain today, they’re falling fast.  I’ve been working hard on our apartment house with my DH.  Today I marbleized a kitchen floor, by using three colors on top of a [...]

Oh-oh

I’m not doing very well at all with weight loss.  I was up a couple of pounds again this week..Same old lack of motivation and wanting to eat anything sweet.  I even raided the frozen birthday cake in the freezer last week.  Maybe my body is wanting to store fat for the winter.  I’ve been [...]

Just Can’t Seem to stay Motivated

…Thanks to SoClose and Patty’s instructions in her comments i learned how to upload photos to this…
Hi all fellow bloggers.  Summer is over and after all of my travels I am stuck at the same weight i have been since January.  I have been continuing to swim.  My friend and I found out that we [...]

New Week - new post

Humm… things have changed a bit here.  What is a “page” vs a “post”??  I just tried this as a page and lost it..now it’s a post.
I reached my swimming goal today…1 mile - 72 laps of the town pool.  Woopie.  Weighed in with only a 0.2 pound loss, but I think I’m bloated a [...]

Home again

We had a good trip to the Cape..picked wild blueberries for pancakes, road the motor bike to P-town, lazed on the beach and by the pool, hit the flea market, etc.  Thankfully the Cape didn’t get all of the rain that the rest of New England had…(Zoe you must be swamped).  I weighed myself this [...]

Checking in

I’ve been a lax writer lately, I know.  Summer is moving along too quickly.  We leave for the Cape in a week  and will be there for about 3 weeks.  This past weekend my DH talked me into entering the 5K walk/run here in town for our “Oatka Festival” and guess what?  I won for [...]

In Long Island

Actually, I am headed for home in a couple of hours.  Len and I came down on Tuesday to pick up a motorcycle trailer that he found for sale on “Craigslist”.  It took most of yesterday afternoon to pick it up, and get it registered.  We also visited his brother in the VA hospital (nursing [...]
