My mother-in-law will be in the hospital until Sunday, then go to a rehab facility for 2 weeks. We're not sure how we will handle it when she comes home. I can't do stairs to take care of her. She has 12 stairs to go up to her bedroom and bathroom. I think maybe get a hospital bed and commode for her downstairs livingroom.

Hope the scale smiles at you tomorrow!

Oh my goodness! She was probably just glad to be outside sharing some of the day with you, and then to have that happen. That is so sad! I hope you can figure out some type of arrangement in your livingroom for her. However, you have steps there too to reach the bathroom. You may just have to set up a small bed on the side of your kitchen area for her too. I hope you can figure out something for her so she can heal and not have too much pain in the process. I hope the two of you didn't get caught in any of the rain.

Good luck with weigh-in tomorrow!

My new approach is..............

No change for me....hope you did better

My mother-in-law lives in the house attached to ours, so the bed will be in her living room, not mine. Her kitchen is also next to her living room so that will make it easier for meals. She had a slight set back today at the hospital. Seems her sodium level is too high, I don't think they will move her to rehab until they get it under control.

We're finally going to cut more hay tomorrow....keeping fingers crossed it doesn't rain for a few days.

Have a great Sunday!

Exercise
2 hour walk

I had problems logging in to this site last night, so sorry I didn't post until today.

No change for me this week. I need to figure out something different to try to get things moving along again.

I did exercise with my new exercise DVD yesterday for a hour. It was okay. I bought some Slimfast diet drinks to try this week in place of meals. I hope they taste okay. I figure I can drink two a day and then have one regular meal a day. Still have a few snacks of fruit or vegetables too. I will start drinking those tomorrow.

Hope your Mother-in-Law gets better soon. It must be unsettling for her right now. Poor woman.

We finally got more hay cut. We'll bale on Tuesday.

Day 1 with the new diet okay so far. I know Day 2 will probably be harder. I am mentally ready to tackle it though. Need to lose this weight.

Should be a great day for hay with all this sunshine. Take it easy on your knee. Have fun with Steel.

I spotted a bud on my sunflowers, so I suspect I will see a few more soon. Some of they are already taller than me. I am looking forward to seeing them flower.

Tomorrow will be another nice day. Hopefully you will find some time to take Steel for a drive. Happy Wednesday!

It poured like crazy on my way home today. Glad you were able to get some hay in before the rain hit your area. Of course, when I got home, there was no rain there. Seems the storm current has a habit of passing by our area.

Long day at work so I didn't get much time to do anything else once I got home except for a short walk.

I see you had a tomato and cheese sandwich, yes, I still need to make one sometime this week. :)

There is a Peach Festival later this month nearby. I definitely have to try to go to that. Have you been judging any fair exhibits this year?

Hope you have a terrific Thursday.

Another long day today. I am taking tomorrow off, since I have already worked more than my hours for this pay period. I need a break.

Hope your hay didn't get soaked and you are able to dry it out a bit more today.

I may go to a fair tomorrow. Going to take Jack with me so he can see the little pigs. There is suppose to be a greased pig chase so I think there would be so little pigs there too. I think they are so cute.

Have a happy Friday!

Exercise
1 1/2 hrs. morning barn chores
1/2 hr. evening barn chores
1 hr. pulling weeds and trimming plants

Meals
oatmeal with blueberries
banana
hard boiled egg, cheese and tomato plate
grapes
hawaiian pork, noodles, snow peas

My knee and hamstrings are finally feeling better. Now I need to remember to not push it and re-injure them. I hear thunder so I guess we're going to get our daily storm.

I think I'll go watch a horse show on Saturday...I miss it.

I love peaches. The only trouble is I need to peel them before I can eat them. The fuzz makes me itch.

How's the Slimfast working for you? Do you get hungry?

Exercise
1 hour walk/jog
20 Modified push ups
1 hour walk at show
30 minute walk

Meals
Slimfast
Mock chicken bites, salad
Watermelon
Taco salad

As long as I am not doing any hard work/exercise, I don't get hungry with the Slimfast. It tastes fine as long as it is chilled. Not much volume to one, so it is shrinking my stomach intake. I get full faster.

Didn't go to the fair today. Greased pig catch is in evening rather than early morning. I didn't go because I don't like to be out late at night. I am a morning person. So we went to a Wheat Thresher, Steam engine, Tractor, etc show. We walked around there and it was interesting.

Good luck with weigh-in tomorrow. Have a Happy Saturday!
