Really overdid at picnic on Thursday so to even it out, I overdid yesterday too. Better today but need to toughen up on the motivation. Rained all day today but my eating was better. No exercise though.

I reread my post-wedding crosstitch-had a great time yesterday-woke up wheezing-too much wheat I think-went to use inhaler-outdated-called doc-called in a prescripyion for 2 inhalers, one they don't make anymore=got one and used it-heart raced and hands shook for one hour-called pharmacist and got a different one that worked fine-I only get this problem a couple of time a year-only a little wheezing so far today. It's raining!!!I;m probably allergic to this house-it's so dusty. Mima

Meme- You are right !!I should have just thrown the bananas out!!Next time..Good for you on the weight loss.
Mima- There is something in the house or air that has taken hold. You should have seen me in AZ. I was a mess .Drainage from eyes and nose so bad for 3 days till I found a pharmacy to help me. I was taking something but it was the wrong medicine.
Anagram- I know I have to get motivation back in gear too. I just keep telling myself 'NO'.Hope it helps. I try to walk most days.
Hello everybody....Joanne

Joanne you can freeze bananas and use them later, that is what I do. I thought KFC had a baked shicken now that was healthy?

Cold water bothers me too.......and if its warm water I freeze and spasm when I get out!

Meme..I tried putting my plants on my little wagon and they fell off, just toppled over What a mess............ You are gonna blow away girl!

Happy..we had a wonderful time and the food was great too! They do not watch their weight so they loved the 8pts brownies! Hubby has a bad back so I do it all! Send Hanns (sp)down will you.......

Mima..hope you get that wheezing under control, my son is having a time of it right now too!

anna....
I have gotton back to my litle routine of yoga, pilates and tai chi, (just a few moves form each to get me going) and of cousre my stretching and yard work. Did walk outside on Saturday but the hip hurting thing again, so my walking is not going well.

I sat on the floor for hours last night indian style cleaning out the video cabinet (had to look at the tapes I did not have marked). Found some of my old exercise tapes too. Never liked that Jane Fonda one So my back is pretty sore today........so I went out and trimmed all the bushes! Ha!!!!!!!!!

DS is back ond off again Tuesday so things will get back to normal here.

My lilles are having problems, not sure what it is, wind maybe or a fungus? The buds are not opening, just rotting and the leaves are turning yellow????????? I was moving my two big pots of flowers and one fell over, not sure if it will make it or not, broke some of the plants I think I'm repeating myself!)

Good morning-went to a Chinese restaurant where Brad looked at the air system and we got free food, I was glad to get my hot and sour soup for my sinuses, Still wheezing a little-I think it's allergies. Going for a massage today-going to stop at the condo and the lawyers to pick up papers. Got the new chairs yesterday-beautiful. Son says he might come up in July!!! He'd better bring that baby. I am also getting a washing machine form Brad's brother who is taking his mother's . Mine has one temp setting and one water level setting. Yikes. Bye for now. Mima

Have three decent days in but not enough water.Going to be awfully hot the next couple of day so maybe that will help me up that. Still swollen and it should help that a bit too. Have not been to pool waiting for minor surgery to fully heal but it's looking good so maybe will try it tomorrow. That always helps with leg swelling. Busy couple of weeks coming up - lots of eating out (not that I don't love that but y'all know the salt thing involved there even if you make good choices). Will be having bloodwork Thursday - am going to complain lots about fatigue and all sorts of stuff during dr. visit. Not that I expect much to come of it but sometimes it helps just to complain. Don't think my Synthroid is working real well. Still not fully recovered RA wise from the brutal yardwork last week and have so much more to do. Fell asleep last evening and never got any energy back to go out and do anything after nap.

But this is another day. Maybe I'll perk up once I turn the a/c on - going to need it.
Fun, ladies.

Hi again ladies I have been here before then left for a while. The FMS got the better of me and I spent the entire drive home from work a couple of weeks ago in tears from the pain, decided I better get off my a** and do something for myself since the docs don't seem to help, so went back on lc, having trouble sticking with, am off to Curves in a little bit. My hip is killing me lately. I stand up and I have to just stand there for a few before I can take a step. I am having so much trouble dealing with this that I started with a therapist a few weeks ago to help me. I really like her.

What happened to my normal life and my normal weight? I feel like some kind of cow now. I would like to lose at least 20 lbs. before our family reunion at the end of July. I am so close to 300 that is scares me. I have lost 3 lbs. even with my bumbling around.

Mima, I saw on another thread where you thought maybe you had a bug since this has hung on for so long. Hope you are feeling better real soon.

everyone else.

Hello All. Sorry my visits are so infrequent. Still doing this from work. I missed something about Meme doing surgery on herself? I was just quickly reading through.... That sounds interesting! And meme, how is my favorite little hyper kid, Ross?? My two are home with me and driving me CRAZY One of them needs to borrow my car and this makes me have to walk on pavement at night instead of on the trails I like. Kids. And I have a 30 year reunion in July. Need to lose 20 pounds by then.
What is funny is that the girls I envied so much in high school were definitely at their peak back then. Even if they have kept themselves looking good, they don't look at good as they did back then. I think I look better
Will try to keep in touch. Hot weather here in NY. Had to get an air conditioner.

Hi to all of you running for airconditioning Sure not me, I am looking for heat. The sun has NOT come out today, and it is only in the 50's brrrrr.

Ally - nice to see you drop in. I am not sure I wold let my car out my site in this day and age and the cost of insurance. I know they probably couldn't drive if they weren't on yours. It is some outrageous prices they have now. I am surprised that so many are still able to pay for it.

Bunnababy - welcome back. I was wondering how curves is for FM. I also have low back problems and was wondering just how much you have to use it doing the machines they have. Would love to give it a try. Hope you do well on the LCarb diet. It can be tricky to stick to, but it sure does work.

Mima - free food is always nice! Glad you got your Hot and Sour soup. Never have tasted it as I don't eat Chinese Food very often. It always upsets my stomach, even without the MSG. I must have missed something. What are the new chairs for? You son had BETTER bring that baby with him.

Anagram - Sounds like you are not feeling so great. Hope you have better days ahead.

Candice - Give that hubby of yours a good swift kick in the butt and tell him to move it!! He NEEDS to help you out. I don't know how you are able to do what you do. Gosh, Candice, if I sat on the floor indian style, I would NEVER get my self up again


Joanne - hope things are going well for you. Have you been walking outside now, or still on the treadmill? Whatever, good for you. I have been using the stairs instead of the elevator. We live on the 3rd floor. Also, at the park on Saturday, my little GD wanted to climb a huge hill. I did it and boy I was breathless by the time I got to the top. At the top is a lookout over the city, so it was a fairly lengthy hill. Going down was easy.

Meme - where are you? Have you been practicing surgery on yourself? Come talk to us.

Well, haven't been doing too much. Just the usual things, like housework etc. My daughter and GD were here on the weekend, and this weekend, my son is coming. I will be getting my haircut on Thursday as well, so that will be good.

Hope everybody is having a good day.

Hi guys-the new chairs are from my MIL's house which has been sold-the table is coming today along with a rug and I will get a new washer as BIL is taking the washer and dryer from MIL's house. It will close on June 23 . Went to condo yesterday and carpenter was busily working. We are planning a camper trip to Ascuteny VT the week before the 4th. Hope we can get reservations because it will be relaxing. I'm not sure Curves is goo d for Fibro. I tore my rotator cuff doing Yoga, Myself, I like walking , swimming, and Tai Chi. Not that I do enough of them. Gotta go finish cleaning the trailer as we are letting people that do the RElay for Life Cancer walk use it. Othe BIL is coming tomorrow am to take it to the site. Bye for now Mima-hope you feel better Anagram . Hi Ally. and everyone else.Candice, Anne, Joanne, Meme, Bunnababy, Rita. Hope I didn't forget anyone.

Happy- I am still walking,but, on the treadmill. It is just too hot to walk 3 miles outside. I used to do it ,but, can't seem to do it anymore. I didn't walk yesterday. between the pain in my legs and neck ,I decided to take a day off. Stairs are good exercise areas. My 3 steps into the house won't be enough. Although I could use them like a stairstepper.
I thought my son was moving,now, he is buying another house near the gulf. He will rent the other two. He has been real good this time here. I don't mind being crowded a little while longer. Our daughter coming for a few days. I will be glad to see her. We do a lot together. I really enjoy her company.
Mima -We have curves here in town. I don't care for spas. I just lost a lot of money joining and not being faithful to them-I don't find them relaxing.
Ally- They always come home.The boys at least. You can lose that weight. Do the South Beach for a couple weeks,It works.
Hello everybosy.. Take a hour each day for yourselves. You deserve it...Joanne

I'm here ... ALLY ... good to 'see' you! Ross is about the same ... good days and bad days. I have Jenna (his 5 yr. old sister) right now. From Tues. to Fri. My Daughter is in Reno for a few days on business and her hubby can't handle them both for that long!

Talking about exercise ... I'm doing the music for bible school this year and the whole theme is exercising (Power Up). It's about to wear me out just learning the songs and the motions. At least I'm able to do them all execpt the jumping. Muscles are really getting sore, though. I've lost two more pounds!!! That makes a grand total of 27! I'm sure I'll lose more the week of bible school when I have to do them with the kids every single night!

Yes, I DID perform surgery on myself! It went well after I finally got it numbed. Thank goodness I only have to do that once a week.

I'm kind-of down right now. Was betrayed by a 'friend' last week. I really hate when someone who you trusted goes around behind your back and talks about you to someone else. Don't you just hate that? Guess he wasn't as great a 'friend' as I thought he was! Only problem is, he's two-faced and acts like nothing has changed. I can't be like that. I've already written him off as a loser and don't want to be around him any more than I have to. Maybe he'll get the hint eventually!

I have 16 songs I'm working on memorizing. 9 for bible school and 7 for the conference I'm singing at. Plus I sing on the radio the first Sunday of every month and I also sing in my church and don't use music for that. That's a lot to try to keep in my little pea brain! Hubby made me CDs of all the songs I have to learn. I have CDs in my van, in the kitchen and even in my bathroom!

Meme, can you bring it up with your friend as to what happened? Maybe you can get it settled-course it's normal to get angry first. Yikes-son called yesterday and said they were coming uo for 2 weeks-course some will be travel time. And he's going to spend half of it here and wants to have a cookout-big-cuz they don't have time to go and visit everyone. They will stay in the camper and Alison in here. Big problem-stairs and wheelchair-we have 7 steps up to deck-3 into house-and 3 inside to bedrooms. And some into trailer. Any advice. My left shoulder is acting like tendonitis and I have to finish that crosstitch-the hard part is done. I love music-tjhat Bible camp ought to be great!!!Mima

All six of the robin eggs hatched but the nest is so full they keep falling out and I iust put them back in. She doesn't seem to mind that I touched them but I do not think they are all getting enough to eat, some are really tiny. I tried to take pictures but it is dark in the corner of the porch.

Help...I am terribly sunburned.....Mowed in the hot (95) weather for 6 hours...had sun screen on but my legs and arms got it bad!!!!!!!!!! Since I am not usually up during daylight hours I have not been in the hot sun for years. (usually go out after 4) But I got DS off and decided to mow................and of couse I baked him choc chip cookies!

Candice- Sunburns hurt so bad. Makes you want to just sit in the vinegar water.Lotions help somtimes.
Robin eggs hatching..We get the robins here in Jan. and Feb. They eat the wild berries on the trees. They like the australian pepper tree berries the best. Those trees are a big problem here. We get rid of as many as we can..They just take over..
Hello everybody...Joanne
