Pam If your photo on here is anything to go by, I can't see that you have much weight to lose at all.
Vickie Glad you are OK we have been following the storm on our TV news... Awesome.
Yes, Sandra we get tornadoes but mercifuly, they are mostly small and in country areas where there is little housing. We had a bad one in London a few years ago though and also one in Birmingham.
Girls night out tonight, the last one was put off because of bad weather.
good morning. I made steel cut oats, so I'm set for the rest of the week.
jojo, you notice I didn't post a full body shot, lol. I carry all my weight in my belly. Enjoy your girls night out. I know you will have lots of fun.
Rhonda, we are establishing residence in Florida and we had to produce our birth certificates, and marriage license, since my name is not the same as bc, to get our drivers license. My daughter had to send me those documents. Supposedly it's a new law, that Florida has put into effect first.
Sandra, we ate out yesterday. Happy subbing.
We have a tree service here today, cutting trees and trimming others. We have literally no sun in the back and side of the house and no grass, just dirt.
The yard has been neglected for a few years before we bought it, so it's going to take some work to get it back to where it should be.
Good Morning Chicks! It's just the normally Windy City here today.
My carpet where they cleaned the stain is now still stained but we have added stinky to the mix. They say it's because it's still drying but I'm not convinced. They will come back out today or tomorrow to try to clean it again. In the meantime, I've resigned myself to having to replace the whole wall to wall. Ugh. Makes me sick.
Off to buy sympathy cards and shoes.
Oh and by the way....I'm 5' 2" and well over 200 pounds. Not a pretty sight.
Went out with my working group again,as my knee wasn't bothering me. We want to the tides beach up to the heights when there was a down pour for 20 seconds that we had to take shelter at the casino. After it stop most of us were wet,and decided to get away from beach and wind and head over to the rec center and walk around the track. Two other woman and I went home as we were drenched. Had to change from head to toe.Surprisingly my knee was fine but my back gave way. Now I fine again.
This afternoon I'm going to play canasta with my other friends.Its suppose to down pour for the rest of the day.I guess we got the storms from Vickie's area.
VICKIE-Hold on,hope the storm get weaker as we speak. I wanted for the winds to pick up but they don't predict it coming until late this afternoon.HAPPY 20th ANNIVERSARY for meeting your DH Jim. Have many many years together.
SANDRA-Thanks Hes a wonderful doctor and if I have any health problem he sits there and listens to me,and than answers my questions.Oh I found out at my physical that I'm not 5 foot but 5'1" could it be my osteoporosis meds are working and I gained a inch????? This makes a big difference on those BWI calculators.
PAM- My sister is deadly afraid of the MRI's,but I'm not afraid of them even than it a closed one. The lights are all around the machine and I can at see if I want to.No darkness like the old MRI used to be. This time around my legs went in first,but my head was out and I could read all the numbers that were posted on the mouth of the Machine.
Have to go get dinner done before I go to my canasta game.
Maryann, so you're a growing girl? That's a good thing that your meds are helping you like that. I'm glad you got to get out today even though you got wet. Keep enjoying yourself with your friends. Makes me smile.
Pam, we had to jump through hoops to get my new passport after we got married, but it was worth it. You're going to have fun landscaping your yard.
Vickie, I'm glad you're safe and sound. Congratulations to you and Jim. How long ago was this that you had your first date together? Curtis and I first got together December 1995.
Have a good evening, Chickies. I'll catch you later. This is Day 141 SF.
Congratulations, Sandra, on your continued sugar-free status. That's quite an accomplishment.
The storm did not actually hit Toronto, thank goodness.
I'm still not getting the exercise I need this week, but my eating isn't too bad. I'm just stuck again, after having lost a few pounds. I guess this is just the way it is.
Oh, I'm practicing my tap dance also....slow to learn it though. Thank goodness I have 5 weeks left.
Welcome, Miss Coffee. I hope you got the information you need.
Me too Pam Never mind about pear shaped, I'm orange shaped!
Girls nice out was a lot of fun, but I won't be surprised if I have gained a pound or two on weigh in day.. Blackberry pavlova and cream was my downfall.
Have a good one everyone
Another day of "getting out the vote" ahead for me. Today I'm preparing maps for others to use, so I won't actually be walking until the afternoon...except around in circles!
Sandra, I try to stay away from sugar after doing the South Beach Diet. I will have a couple small pieces of dark chocolate, but not very often. BUT, lately I've been craving ice cream. You are doing great.
jojo, glad your girls night out was a success. I had to look up blackberry pavlova. Yikes, sugar, sugar, sugar, lol.
Rhonda, I used to love to tap dance when I was a kid. No formal lessons, just loved to do it. My cousin did take lessons, he was quite good.
Not sure what I'm doing today. They are still working on the trees, should be done by this afternoon. It's been quite a job and we got a great price. I am feeling the itch to go shopping, lol
Oh my ..I am in new territory with my weight and its not in the right direction !!
I am going to start journaling all my food to find out where the calories are coming from. I almost never eat sweets .. I eat low calorie meals ...
I have cheated with a bit of pizza here & there but it seems that would not
cause 5 lbs gain...
DH & I spent the last few days in WV where we met my stepdaughter.
It is so beautiful there !!
My son is coming in by train tonight for the weekend.
Nancy, are you eating salt and retaining fluids? Just a thought. My weight kept slowly creeping up, and before I knew it, bam, 25 lbs. Have fun with your son.
