That is cute, Anne!I ordered the video-thanks. What got me is tha you can sit in a chair-maybe order the other one later. Hope it doesn't collect dust like the Tai Chi one.
I did walk yesterday and I didn't get pains. I was feeling better by noon. Probably could have gone to Aunties. I am getting a massage today!! She is wonderful.
I hope you are well today, Joanne. I already prayed.
I wish we would hear about the lady renting-Brad is going full steam ahead. If he is going to finish it regardless, we want to get someone in there.
It's raining and it's cold. Glad when this is done so we can get to FL. Mima
I get a flu hot every year. (except a couple of years ago when there was a major shortage of them). I used to be the one giving them back when I was able to work. Now it isn't a proven side effect but it is for me....if I get a cold it will only last a couple of days and be on the mild side. Last "bad" cold I had was the year I couldn't get the shot.
All week I have been stressing. This past Sunday I WI'ed at 270 (down 20 pounds from where I started at). Monday I stepped on the scales (as I do everytime I am in the bathroom...bad habit I am now trying to break) and I had gained 2 pounds. I was freaking out. All week I have maintained at 272. I have been walking...some not as much as week before. This morning the scales still said 272. But the funny thing is it said 272 EVERY time I stepped on them. No increase during the day...which is odd. Well this morning around 10 I got on them again and got E for error. Put a new battery in it, still got E. So I figured the scales died...I would do if someone as big as me stepped on me all that much. So I went and got a Weight Watchers scale. I love it....only thing is now I am at 275.6. So I am going to see what it is in the morning. I will leave my weight loss at 20 pounds until the scales actually have me back at 270. And I won't stress out over what it says.
Meme, I would love to come to the Cantata. If I didn't already have plans that weekend, I'd seriously consider it! That's the weekend that my shopping buddies and I go away and stay in a bed and breakfast and shop till we drop. Let your hubby cook!! Bob cooks meals a lot of the time.
Mima, glad you are doing better! It is pretty cool here today. The sun was shining though, so that made it bearable.
Chris, isn't it odd how scales weigh so differently? I like my scales better than those at the doctor's office!!
I made it to school today, but I was sooooooooooo sleepy. The principal observed me this morning. I told him that I might have to take a nap while he was there. He said he would join me.
Tammy, sure hope you feel good enough to enjoy the weekend.
I strongly encourage the flu shots-have even got Brad to get them because if he gets sick, then we all suffer.
Yesterday, I couldn't find my keys-asked Brad to pray, finally found them in my jeans pocket were in the wash, called the masseuse and said I would be late. Got there 15 minutes late for an APPOINTMENT I DIDN'T HAVE TIL NEXT WEEK! The person who gave me an appt and I didn't communicate well the day before. Anyhow, I was disappointed and now I have 5 appointments next week. Boobs, hair, foot, chiro, and massage. And i have to fit in a walk with Auntie. Too funny.
I hope I get that video quick-I will let you know how it is,
Hope you are ok Joanne.
What is going on with the new pastor, Meme.
Chris-all scales are different . It will work out when you use the same scale all the time. Daily-not all day long. Or weekly. My gf is so happy she lost some weight. i believe she needs to lose at least a 100 and she is having trouble with her knee.
Gotta bake cookies for the Pastor's appreciation party tomorrow, They are having a party at my church for the nun who was there for 17 years and the new Pastor didn't want to hire her back.
Bye for now, Mima
I am doing ok,just can't see that well yet. They gave me a bunch of stuff to relax me. Now my stomach isn't doing so good. IBS big time.. I just feel poopy.. Thanks for thinking of me...Joanne
Mima - busy as usual. Looks like your next week will be keeping you going. I HATE when I go for an appointment and find out I don't have one I think that happens to everybody at some point.
I have read so many things about flu shots, and the one thing I have read is that if you have 8-10 your chances of Alzheimers increases. There has to be a common thread for this, as so MANY more seniors over the past years, have gotten this. I rarely GET sick, so I think I will take my chances. I had one last year, and this year my blood work shows METALs. There is Mercury and Aluminum in a flu shot. So - NO THANKS!!
The video should be there by Monday, I believe. They send it really fast. Let me know how it is, please. I want to get it as well, but if there is lots of twisting in it, then it is going to be a no-no.
Chris - you are not alone. I was down 3 pounds, ate NOTHING different than what I was, and not I have gained them back! Makes me soooo mad and sad. Oh well, no choice but to keep on going.
Tammy - gosh, hope you are feeling better by the time Monday rolls around. Those viruses can be nasty. The Norwalk Flu is making it's rounds through Nursing Homes and the University. Now, that IS a nasty one.
Joanne - sorry you aren't feeling well. Hope by the time the weekend is over, you will be much better. That darn IBS always is a bummer.
Meme - Hope things are going ok for you. We are also have cold and rainy weather and that is just plain horrid for arthritis. Everything that can hurt - does. Just hang in there.
Going to Edmonton this afternoon. It's my daughter's birthday today, and my son had his second anniversary this past week. Now, I will have to try pack two days into one!!
Mima, I'm feeling better than I did earlier in the week, but Bob sounds awful. I told him to stay away from me. I don't need a cold or whatever he has or is getting. Oh no about your appointment!! You sure will be busy next week!
Great to hear from you Joanne!! Just take it easy!!
Anne, I hope you had a nice visit!
I went to Ball State and watched the football game today, but I left after the band finished their halftime show. Bob didn't go since he was feeling so miserable. I know he really didn't want me to go alone, but I was ok with it. Gave me some time to just think on the drive over and back. Tim and Jess came home after the game because tomorrow is a 50th anniversary party for Jess's grandparents.
Good morning! I sure am achy when I get up but it seems to get better as the day progresses . I lay down in the afternoon and put heat on my back. That sure feels good.
Glad you are better, tammy.
Joanne, I hope you feel better soon. I prayed for you.
Anne, sounds like a fun weekend, if not tiring.
I am so happy, I got invited to do more work in November. This will be an IBS,is the acupunture working test. I have to eat right-no cookies in the afternoon-I will bring my own.
We went to a new restaurant last night-The prices were so reasonable-a Scottish Pub. I had haddock and you could even get a smaller portion.
Baked cookies for the Pastor's party. And some for Sr, Nancy who was given a party yesterday by my church.
Hi Chris.
Bye for now, Mima
I can relate to the morning achiness. Most days mine does get better as the day progresses, and then there are those other days! The new restaurant sounds nice. There are a couple new places near here that we haven't tried yet, but we've heard good things.
Cool and rainy today. It's supposed to be in the 40's all week. I really don't think I'm ready for winter to get here.
First I would like to thank every one for the support you have given me this week as I stresed out over the scales. I am now accepting the gact that scales read 4 pounds more then they did last Sunday. I think it is a combination of 2 things....1 new scales being calibrated differently than the old ones and 2 not walking much this week and not measuring my food. I was looking at this as such a set back it was just tearing me up. But I am over that now. So I will loss the same pounds all over again.
Tammy--it has been an up and down week here with the weather. Beginning of the week it was cold and cloudy. Middle of the week it was in the high 70s. Now we are back to cold again (48 right now). I just wish it would make up its mind what it wants to do.
Joann--hoping you are doing better today. What did you have done to your eye? I think I read you are having the other eye done soon.
Chris- I had cataract surgery on my left eye.. Nov.2 the R ight eye I have felt better. I think whatever they gave me made me have upset stomach...I can eat. I guess I am ok.
Hello Everybody.I went to another church. Presbyterian, What a difference! I really enjoyed the service. I say some friends of mine that made us feel very welcome.. People we didn't know even were very nice..Ofcourse everyone knew my son and his wife..The church is only 3 blocks from my house..I am not at all sorry to not see that other church again. It was a depressing place.
Till tomorrow...Joanne
Chris, I'm sure that the 4 pounds is because of the new scales. All scales seem to weigh differently. Don't give up!! You've done great!
Joanne, I'm sure you are right about what they gave you giving you the upset stomach. I am so glad you checked out a different church and you like it!!!! And only 3 blocks from your house is a bonus!! I'm glad you don't have to go back to the other one.
Tim will be leaving in about an hour. I'm driving him to a McDonalds in a town part way for him and Jess to meet to go back to school. He'll be home next weekend for their fall break, so I probably won't cry as much when he leaves. lol
Well ... and there you have it. Sometimes change is good and sometimes not. When not, in the case of the scale, you just have to get used to it and life must go on ... and on ... and on. But there is always a bright spot somewhere on the horizon if you will just look for it ... if you don't see it soon then get out your yellow Crayola's and go make your own! And ... as in the case of some, if you don't have a life, get out and make that, too! You only get one you know.
There ... after all those profound thoughts, I guess I'll just take my smart self and go to bed. Maybe I'll 'dream up' some more!
I hope you lovely ladies have an astronomical week!!! You each one deserve it. And remember ... it's YOUR life and YOUR body ... you can do anything you want to with it. (Here's a little help!)
I think that happens to everybody at some point.
