Hi golden Girls -

I did slip back into my black hole for a little while. Future DIL managed to stun me with an icy, rude comment to me. Next day I get this email from my sone berating me! He is such I whipped wienie. It's like he's Charlie McCarthy sitting on her lap. He never realizes that things are wrong until they get home and she tells him so. I'm coming out of the black hole. I'm buying dresses and shoes on line for the wedding. They make it very easy to return.

And, I am very committed to losing as much weight as possible. The furture MIL is about a size 2. I want to feel good about myself. I have to lose 10 but am aiming for 20.

On June 5 went down to the American Girl Doll store to buy youngest great niece her doll on her 5th birthday. We had lunch. It was so much fun.

I now wish to avoid DS and his fiancee as much as possible. I just wqnt to get through it with as much dignity as possible. I do think DH and I will have a lot of fun at the rehersal dinner and wedding with all our friends.

Hope all is well with all of you! Hugs!

Hi Everyone,

Today, I got back up to 1 hour exercising at the gym. I think I will go back and do an hour of water aerobics later today.

So far, I am eating in a MUCH more healthy manner. Eat salad and fruit everyday.

VERY rainy here today. Hope everyone has a happy and healthy day.

Lynn

Hi Bobbi,

Missing you. What's up?

Lynn

My weight was up more than 2# after the weekend away eating in restaurants and snacking too much. But now I'm back to my eating plan so hopefully it will drop quickly. Also got back to the gym today finally (after about 3 weeks!). I walked a mile, rode the hand bike 6 min (rotating directions) and rode the stationary bike 15 min at 10. Didn't do weight machines as I felt kinda dizzy after those. Have to work my way back into it yet again..

Dh lost his phone last Friday so today we plan to shop for another one. That plus I need a haircut are my goals for today but may not get them both done. Otherwise I need to clean house. It's the day I change sheets and bless my home with a few min of cleaning in each room.

Breakfast was two fried lightly, then steamed til done eggs. It was ok but I'm not a big egg eater. Felt gassy and uncomfortable all morning. So far I'm not liking the recipes in the THM book. I'll have to adapt my own.

Rosey - Your egg muffins sound very much like the Protein muffins in the THM book. I didn't like them but I maybe I should try them again with your combination of ingredients. They said you can fill them with anything. It's the protein we're after, the other things are just healthy fillers.

Deelee - If you want to lose weight for yourself that's great but don't do it for/because of someone else. You are fine just the way you are and don't need to change for them. I encourage you to be confident in the way you are.
The older I get the more I realize that to change for someone else only gives them power over me that they shouldn't have. They probably don't even realize it...I am doing it to myself.

Evening all...I am bridgeless for a week and bored silly. I have finished 3 of the jigsaw puzzles and after starting the 4th realize I have done this same picture before. Regular partner had oral surgery and won't leave the house until she has a tooth back in place.

Made Rie's cauliflower patties and BQ a loin pork chop for dinner. Plus a salad of fresh tomatoes with lime basil ff/fs dressing. I could lick the plate clean to get every drop of that dressing. Thinks it's the lime that grabs me.

Got DH 2 Marine Corps windsocks for Father's Day. He hangs them up for special holidays and noticed one was getting pink instead of red. Definitely
not USMC color.

OMG I hate spellcheck....it pops up constantly. Rie's isn't a word....ff/sf blows it's little mind. Ha you know I'm old when here I am yelling at my pc!

Well back to the puzzle or kindle or tv...yawn....personals tomorrow. k3

Hi Everyone,

I have been having a LOT of pain in my foot. Saw podiatrist today. I have a really BIG bone spur. She gave me 2 shots of cortisone. Just hanging out today with ice on my toe.

Lynn

Had a good workout today. Felt good to be back to my full routine. Seems like we have been so busy recently. I still haven't started the video transfers. Also didn't get any house cleaning done yesterday so it's been since Friday. Yesterday we got dh a new phone and I spent so much time on that...they put the wrong number in his phone..they put mine in...and I just noticed it last night. Then they gave me the wrong instructions, and it ended up deactivating his phone. He was not happy. So today we took it back and got it corrected. Amazing how we depend on these phones!

My weight is dropping back down again but 1# to go to get back to where I was. I have to be more consistent...I let every trip, every restaurant meal etc. get me off-track. Breakfast today was oatmeal, with cinnamon, flax meal and 1 t. nf milk. AM snack was my pb mocha made with almond milk. Dinner will be potato soup with 5 crackers and salad or some other veggie.

Lynn - Oh, the bone spur sounds painful! Hope it's better soon.
Bobbi - Moving is quite the adventure, isn't it?!! I can't wait to see a picture of that floor...bet it is really beautiful! Happy for you!
Rosey & Karen3 - Both your meals sound so good, you made me hungry!

Thank you, Mary. I REALLY hate to always be posting about illnesses, sadness, worry. My favorite saying is "Worse things have happened to nicer people."

My goal for the rest of the week is to post "happy/positive" messages.

Lynn

Thank you Lynn for that thought. That is why I have been hardly posting lately. I keep feeling bad when I whine about things, because along the lines of what you said ~ even though things in our family seem like an impossible situation right now ~ others are or have gone through way worse.

Hi Gayle,

You and I have often been in the same place at the same time. Hopefully, things will soon be looking up for both of us.

Lynn
