Joanne would that be Mima or Meme???????

[Joanne D]

I guess I spelled the name wrong..My sister and I met Mima for lunch yesterday(sat). We had a nice meeting. It was a little noisy where we went to eat but all in all it was nice. Her hubby Brad dropped her off .He went to the cultural center in Largo for a train show. We took her to meet him after lunch. What a nice lady!.. I really enjoyed getting to meet her..Just imagine if we all could get together some day!
Now I have to get back on program. I didn't like the scale this A.M. At this rate I will never reach the goal I want to. Although I think a lot is fluid.
Hello everyone. I hope you are having a great weekend...Joanne

HI! Everyone ! Hope you all are having a nice weekend Joanne glad that you enjoyed going out to eat and meeting Mima as I am sure she is sweet, well I see some sun never thought I would be so excited over seeing sun!!!!!!!!!!!! hoe everyone else is starting to feel better have a great Sunday Debbie, havent heard from you hope you are having a great week Rita

[Happy Canuk]

How exciting Joanne. It is great to finally meet the people we talk to. We don't even have to ask a whole pile of questions because we already know lots about them. I met one gal on another site I go to and have visited with her twice. We also talk on MSN or YAHOO.

Rita, hope that sun comes shining through for you today. I don't like a lot of days without the sun either. Usually we don't have many. This place is known as Sunny Alberta, and we have more sunshine hours than most places.

Meme - I hope you and your family are feeling much better by now.

Well, I wish you all a great day.

This is the first time I have not gotten my computer all locked up trying to get on here. All these ads pop up and you try to close them out and then you are stuck.
Anyway...hello all. I am soooooo sick of winter. Had to drive to the next town to find a place to walk with the dogs outside. NO one shovels in my town. Only the old and retired. The rest just have a ton of snow in their yards. No one walks outside in the winter...no wonder we are all fat.

Candice, Happy and MeMe,

I have been wondering for sometime now whats wrong with my brain I have a hard time concentrating on things at work sometimes. I will forget what I am supposed to be doing in the middle of a task. I do interrupt people because I will think of something that I need to tell them while they are talking to me and I am afraid I will forget it if I wait. If someone is explaining something to me and it is taking awhile I don't listen to what they are saying after awhile. I feel that I need to stay busy all the time. I can't remember so much. I will start something at home, such as a quilt, lose interest in completing it after a short time. When I read the symptoms on the website it really hit home.

I quit a job that I had worked at for 14 years and started doing something completely new and these problems have been magnified so much during this time. It has made starting a new job much harder. I was used to knowing what I was doing before.

Debbie, some of that is FM. The fogginess, the not remembering. Pain can cause some of these things to happen, along with the meds you take. I have found that by increasing Omega 3,6 and 9 oils, the fogginess and memory is much better. See I forgot, I wasn't finished Fatigue plays a huge roll in how much your memory is impaired as well.

HI! Everyne well I have had brain fog for the last 3 years thought it went with change of life so I guess I am not the only one in that boat!!!!!!!! I just try to make the best of it and try not to worry about things that I mess up I just say blame it on my age and they just laugh hope everyone else is having a great Mon and feeling better with their backs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rita

[Joanne D]

I guess we can't blame everything on age or our ailments. I have been forgetful for years. My daughter swears she has alzhiemers. I just tell her she has too much on her mind. Most of the time it is the stress of every day life.
I thought I would let you guys know that Mima was having computer problems and that is probably why we haven't heard from her lately.
I walked today..My back is much better. My eating is somewhat not so good.. I was in hopes of making goal this week,but, I don't think it is going to happen.. I don't know what I am thinking. I think I am just sandbagging myself..I think my body wants to stay where it is..This constant thinking about food and what not to eat is really getting me down lately..I give up so much that I am beginning to feel sorry for myself.No Good.
The best part of the day today was walking to the beach..
Bye for now...Joanne

[RAR]

Good morning everyone up early so right now I have lots of energy hopefully we will be hearing from mima soon Joanne glad the back is feeling better hope it stays that way dont be so hard on yourself!!!!!!!!!!! sounds wonderful walking on the beach since I am not even close to large body of water and you did get out and walk so that was something well everyone hope you have a great tuesday had the last 3 days off from work just trying to catch up with all the housework ,clothes from having the flu last week and back to work at tne hospital tonight so I better get busy Rita

[Joanne D]

Rita- Walking to the beach renews me. I will usually go when I need to relax the most. This week has been really difficult for me . I have tried to stay on program because I had only 1 3/4 lbs to lose. Well as usual in my life things just went backward. I know it will be a gain this week. I ate out 3 times and that didn't help at all. I am one of those people who just can't manage that.
Ok you guys- How are all of you doing? Did you do anything Great this week? Hello to all of you busy people.
I went to see Willie Nelson last night . It was a nice 2 hours. Ofcourse I am a country music fan. I don't go to the concerts though too often. My son gave us the tickets for our 50th anniversary. I bought an extra one so he could go with us. My hubby doesn't do too well driving at night so that made it better for us. I drive but he is a royal pain about it. The stress I don't need.
The weather down here is nice . It will change this weekend. That's Florida..
Bye.....Joanne

[Mima]

I just got back on the computer-after I deleted and reloaded it I found out that it was the telephone line. THEY JUST FIXED IT!!!!! It was at the company and they coukd have done it 3 days ago. I had a great time meeting Joanne-she is young and pretty and very nice. Now don't go disagreeing with me Joanne-felt like we had known each other a long time. And Joanne is skinny too. Her sister is very nice-a real go=getter. Boy, have I missed this. Yeah, let's have a reunion in FL-Meme, make the plans!!!!!Ha!!!Boy that would be fun!!Brad is still remodeling the camper but I have a place to put the rubbish inside a door-and soon will have a new closet and computer desk which will double as a sewing machine table. I started on the baby quilt-what a lot of sewing. It's a square that you keep sewing a diagonal line a quarter of an inch away from the first one.Let you know-gotta catch up on my other sites. Bye for now. Mima

[Joanne D]

Thanks Mima,I find it hard to picture myself as skinny. You are right about Eleni being a go getter.. We have been very close since she was born. I am 13 years older than she is. I always said she was my birthday present. She was born on the 8th of March and my birthday is the 10th.I love her a lot...I am glad you got your computer problem taken care of.
Yes girls we have to meet each other. Hello to everybody...Joanne
