Yes. I'm just going to use smileys to show how my day went. I'm not going to keep any records of food or exercise--just if I feel successful with what I did.

You've almost lost your 15 lbs 2 times. Congratulations!

[Vickie]

Cute idea!

Hi Everyone
TEJAS Hope you have a great trip.

ONTARGET how did the mower lesson go. I dont like using our riding mower. Our yard isnt all flat. And I am afraid to ride it on the hills. The guys make fun of me. So I let them do the mowing.

VICKIE Did you get your pool opened. Bet you cant wait till the water gets warm enough to get in. I know when we were kids. We couldnt wait until Mom and Dad opened our pool. But then the water would take forever to get warm. So they got a solar cover. It sure helped.

BEACHBUM do you think the exercise is helping your leg. You are doing really well with the exercise. Hope your daughter is still doing better.

Well hubby is about the same. Called his regular Dr. She said to get the appt with the ortho dr. But she did put him on prednsone. He dont get to see the ortho Dr until Monday morning. So guess we just wait.
Had a busy day today. I had a couple of errands to run this morning. The go pick up hubbys medicine. I did stop at WW to weigh in. They had a weigh and go thing today. So I did. I lost 4 lbs. So that is the 4 that I gained in the last 2 weeks. Not sure how. But I am very happy with that.
Well ladies I am going to get off here.
I hope everyone had a great day.
Thinking of each of you.

Coco....that's OUTSTANDING! I'm SO SO happy for you. It stinks that DH is not getting help until Monday though. I'm sure the steroids will help until then.

Good Morning Ladies


The rainy weather is among is again so I guess I will be using my bike for exercise today.

Won't be on the board tomorrow morning as Leo is going to have his second eye surgery at 8 AM so we will have to leave every early.

SANDRA-Going to work hard on the second part of the year I really like to get out of the 160's by then,as it taking for ever to lose that 8 lbs. Riding a lawn mowers is another good way to exercise.

VICKIE-Thanks, you're doing great don't think one day of not exercising is going to hurt you weight loss effects.

COCO-BIG BIG CONGRATS on losing those 4 unwanted lbs. you did great. Sorry that your DH has to wait for doctor appointments. I think any source of exercising is helping getting the stuffiness out of my leg. Not hurting anymore,so when I go back to the doctor I just get the MRI results that the took of my back.


Have a great morning

Morning Everyone
Well everything is about the same here. I'm afraid though hubby will overdo it today. We have some guys here. They are going to rebuild us a chimney. So of course he thinks he has to be out there. So I have a chair out there. And then I have it fixed that he can put his bad leg on it. So it wont be hanging down. So we will see.
I think I am going to make some chili today. For some reason I have been wanting it. So thought might as well fix it.

BEACHBUM I am glad your leg is feeling better. We are to have a chance of rain off and on all day. So dont know how much work the guys will get done on the chimney. They have to tear down the old one. And build a new one. Will be keeping Leo in my prayers for tomorrow. How is your daughter doing.

VICKIE How are you doing.

TEJAS and ONTARGET Hope you both are having a wonderful day.

Well I better get off here. Get something done.
Will be back later.

Good Morning Chicks!

I'm ok, Coco. Just busy. The pool got opened yesterday and we got a quote to have the painting done on the outside of our house; soffit, fascia, windows, caulking, house deck, pool deck, cedar sided shed, cedar siding on the house. Lordy! That on top of the Cassie bills. Nothing to be done though but get it done. Some of the paint is peeling so it probably should have been done last year. Just trying to figure out where to steal from in my budget.

I guess that means I should get on my treadmill to walk off the stress.

Mary Ann, great luck to Leo today. I'm sure all will got well. How exciting for him to have his clear vision left.

Coco, you give DH a hard time if he tries to walk about. He's paying hard earned money for them to do the work for you. Chili sounds good. I haven't had any in a long while. JC's isn't too good. What time should I be there for dinner?!

[coco99]

VICKIE dinner is around 5:30. More and welcome to come.

[ontarget]

We are home from I got a good workout. Not much going on around here now, though. Curtis is gone to a chiropractor appt and I'm going to snuggle with a good book.

Coco, congrats on losing 4 lbs! I'm sorry dh is still in pain. Pamper him. He deserves it.

Maryann, I never thought of riding a mower as exercise. I rode a little over an hour yesterday. I guess I was getting shaken the whole time.

Vickie, we're getting porches and decks and sidewalk. I hear ya on the $$$'s.

[Vickie]

I love porches and decks and sidewalks. I never got to pick one from start to finish.

No smiley for today?

I walked 1.27 miles in 31 minutes; with multiple elevation. My back is tired and so is everything else. We just came home from Kmart and Super Target. I'm shopping for an ottoman for Sara, the new dog, to get on and off our bed with. Did I tell you all that we decided to adopt her? She's just turned 5 in March. Here's her picture. She retiring from competition now when whe comes to live with us.

http://pages.prodigy.net/anstamm/Sara.htm Her regular life name is Sara Lee.

Hi there
Well not much going on here.
Hubbys knee is starting to feel better. So that is good. Finally. Guess the predinsone is helping.

VICKIE Your new puppy is cute. When will she come live with you. She will have the best retirement ever. That is so exciting. Also congrats on the walk. That is great. Chili wasnt bad. Have some leftovers. So either lunch tomorrow. Or supper.

The guys got the old chimney tore down. Now they will be getting ready to build the new one. Made a lot of noise. Our one puppy was so afraid. She went and hid in the bathroom most of the day.
Well I am going to get off here.
Might see if I can turn on the AC. It is awful stuffy in here.
They had to charge our AC today. But then they have something over it. To protect from where they were working on the chimney. So will have to see if it is alright to run it with the cover over it. Hope not.
Talk to you ladies in the morning.
Night.
coco

BEACHBUM Hope hubby gets along ok tomorrow. Will be thinking of you.

[ontarget]

Vickie, your new doggie is a cutie. Sounds like you had a good day. I have done well. I'm not posting my smiley till later this evening when I'm positive all went well. So far so good.

We went to the club and exercised today and my eating has been fantastic. I'll post my smiley in a couple of hours. Right now I am confident I've earned it. I'm having fun with this.

Coco, you have a lot going on, too. It's that time of year,isn't it?

[Vickie]

I just bought a beautiful new ottoman for my new girl to use to jump on my bed. It'll match my new bedroom perfectly. Did I ever post pictures?

[Vickie]

Here's the master. I need something on the walls.

[Vickie]

I tried to do the master bath and Jim's bath and the kitchen but it's not letting me. It says my files are too big.
