I had a big lunch today so I don't need supper tonight. Not really hungry either thankfully.
What a beautiful day too.

Found a new group of ladies looking for other walkers/jogger/bikers in the area, so will give them a try in their first outing. Also found a local organized walk to do this weekend too. Hope the weather stays this way all week.

Haven't made that apple pie yet, but perhaps this weekend after I visit the local market.

Hope you have a terrific Thursday!

Met ups with a family this evening and went jogging with them. It was fun. We are going to try to start up a group for events to walk/run/bike. I am excited about it. I will have to put up some posters in the local stores this weekend. Very motivated about it.

Today was a nice day too. I think we will have a good weekend until the rain moves in late Sunday. We could use the rain though. The ground is pretty dry and dusty in some areas.

I hope you are having a good week.

Thanks for the compliment. You have been doing really good with your eating and exercise. I suspect you will see some positive results on Saturday. :)

You sound excited about your new walk/jog group. It's always better to have someone to exercise with.

Today was a nice day. I had off. Took the dog for a walk in the morning. Went to the dentist. Then went and ate at a new restaurant and got a mixed salad. Visited a friend for about 30 minutes. Then went to the river and Jack had a good swim/fetch session for about 45 minutes, then we went for a two mile walk, and fished with some ice cream by the dock for us both. They have ice cream for dogs now too. :) Then headed home and ordered a veggie pizza from Papajohns, and saved half of that for tomorrow. Finishing up some laundry now.

Tomorrow morning, I am headed to do another walk in the morning in an Aboretum. They have a designated trail for dogs, which is good, because I wouldn't want to have him pee on the wrong trees.:eek: Reminds me of the time we went to my brothers house at Christmas and they had two dogs in their house that came to meet mine. Dogs being dogs.....he had to pee on their Christmas tree just to say "Hi I am a male", and not once, not twice, but three times. Oh so very very very embarrassing. Now when we visit, I keep him on a leash so there is no peeing on the trees or anything else in the house. :D He is a good dog now.

Tomorrow is weigh-in :carrot: Hope we both have some success this week! :crossed:

Finally got all the peppers picked and in the freezer, then took the supports for the tomatoes down. The gnats were awful! Chris mowed everything off and we put the garden to bed till next year.

I am sorry to learn that your mother-in-law had a stroke a few days ago. That is so sad. She is having a rough year. I hope she does well at home. You must have a very busy schedule tending to the farm and her too. I am sure she appreciates it even if she doesn't show it.

I hope your weigh-in today was good. My Weigh-in surprisingly showed no loss. Perhaps my body is just toning up right now.

Just had a bug run across my neck and chest, ugh, and then it ran down my arm after I tried to knock it off. So thinking I was fine, something just flew on my ear. Perhaps it was the same bug, I don't know, but I am really getting bugged out. Probably picked them up when I was washing my screens on the porch. I definitely will be taking a shower soon to feel clean again. :)

Walked with my dog at the Aboretum today. It was nice winding through woods and meadows. The trees are starting to turn colors too. Saw a deer, black snake, a turtle, and some goats in a pen. We had a fun day.

Hope you have a nice Sunday!

Sounds like you had a lovely place to walk. Is it far from your home?

Jean is home and doing very well. She has nurses and therapists scheduled to come starting tomorrow.

No loss for me either :(

We only got a misting yesterday morning and a light sprinkling in the evening. Very very humid though.
Spent the day cleaning house and doing bills. My husband is back after his trip away visiting family for about a week. He arrived back early this morning and went straight to bed. He had been traveling all night. I can't do that. I like to see things when I drive, and when it gets dark, my body says sleep, sleep. :) Now I have some extra laundry to do too, compliments of the hubby.

What did you read? I started reading some books by James Patterson. Something different, and I like them. Guess he is pretty popular, and has been for years. Never heard of him before, but just picked up a book in the library by chance.

It was beautiful out today! Did some housework and laundry, then headed outside. I want to redo my flower beds around the house. The shrubs are overgrown and I have a hard time pulling weeds. I want to remove most of the plants and either put mulch or stone down. I'll replant the shrubs down by our big equipment building. I'll wait until the burning bushes change color and we have a frost.

More rain forecast for tomorrow.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Sounds you look have the Fall bug to get things set up for next year. Burning a lot of calories in that yard work too.

Today I had to pick up some dog food next to the Giant Grocery store. I thought about heading into Giant to pick up a cookie, but didn't have really any other reason to go in there. Thought about my bulging belly which has already had too many cookies, and that prevented me from going into Giant. One day at a time.....

Hope you enjoy your Thursday.

Tomorrow I have my yearly eye exam. I have early stage macular degeneration, so we need to keep an eye on it, though there's nothing you can do about it.
My eyes aren't too bad. I use the readers you can buy at the drugstore.

I haven't been reading any books, just catching up on my magazines.

Macular degeneration...I am sorry to learn about that. I hope the Doctor told you today that your eyes are staying stable. I hope it doesn't get worse for you.

Well it finally decided to rain today, just a slow drizzle and mist all day.

Was a busy day for me today so didn't get to exercise as much as I like.

The Humane Society has an event this weekend, but it will probably rain. It is suppose to go on rain or shine. I may go to that with my dog for the walk. I think there is a Fall festival that I will go to as well.

Hope you have a fabulous Friday!

Good news from the eye doctor. No change in my eyes so I don't need to see her again till next year.

I wish your scale would have showed some loss too. I bet next week it will for you.
You can do it. I know you can. You can and you will. ;)

Today I went to the Animal Shelter fund raiser for dogs. Walked around a bit. It was good socialization practice for my dog. He lasted a few hours. I could tell when he finally had his fill of the crowd and dogs, so we left. I was happy he lasted as long as he did. Tomorrow is a Fall Festival, so he will get some more practice there. It won't have as many dogs, so he should be happier. I will just have to watch out for people, especially children.

I bet your Apple Crisp tasted real good. Have a fun drive with Steel. I hope the weather is nice for it.

I hope you have a nice Sunday.

Today was a nice day even though it was overcast and slightly drizzly/wet in the morning. Late afternoon, the sun began to chase some of the clouds away. Went for early morning walk, then had a nice time at church and women's church group afterwards. This afternoon, went to the Fall Festival and enjoyed seeing all the crafts and animals. Won a cake at the cake spin too...Angel food cake, so will have to bring that in to work tomorrow. A lovely day over all.

Time to get moving. :carrot: Where is your weight loss ticker? You need to build a new one for your progress to come. Something fresh and motivating!!!

Cold air is moving in so it is time to get that metabolism up and going! You can do it. Come on, you can do it.

What new healthy foods will you try this week? How about exercise? Something nice and easy like stretching. Sit on the floor and do toe touches while watching TV. Break time starts, and that when the toe touches begin. You can do it. Commercials are made just for you now, time to exercise. That's it. You got it. Let the fun begin. :D

Deer and turkeys...lucky you, I am so jealous. They must be fun to watch. Beautiful time of the year to go for a drive with Steel too. I hope this weekend is nice. I am planning a walk for Saturday morning. No one has joined the walk event yet, but that is okay, I will still go anyway.

Migraine started making its way back into my head yesterday. Today it continued to get worse. I ate took some medicine, but it didn't help. I ate some chocolate at work too, but it didn't work. My coworker gave me some pumpkin seeds and told me to try them, they are suppose to help. About an hour later my headache subsided. I will have to try the pumpkin seeds again sometime to see if they really did the trick.

My ticker quit working too, so I had to build a new one. Still looking for yours....:)

Have a wonderful Thursday!

Got up late this morning around 6am. Felt somewhat okay then, but after my walk, I felt horrible again. However, this afternoon I felt better, so perhaps the headache is gone for good now. I definitely hope so.

Well I see some birds have finally found my bird feeders with sunflower seeds. I haven't seen them, but my husband tells me he has seen the cardinals out there. So I guess we will see more in the days to come. I am happy about that. I will be able to sit and watch them from my couch.

Suppose to be a beautiful weekend. I have a walk planned for tomorrow morning, and there is a animal shelter fund raiser and a Fall Festival in the afternoon at a neighbor County, so I may try to check those two events out.

I don't think my weigh-in tomorrow will be good. I peaked at my weight this morning and it went back up again. So the chocolate didn't help my headache, but it helped me to gain weight, along with not exercising as much. So it is good for something.....but not what I wanted. Ha ha.

I hope you have a good Saturday. Do something fun, and enjoy this Fall weather. The dreary days of winter will be here before you know it. Have fun, and good luck with weigh-in.

Weigh-in shows 3 lb increase. Yup. Time to crack that whip!!!

Today was a lovely day. I went for a long walk on a trail and then back through town. Later I went to the Animal Shelter fund raiser. My dog won best in talent. Then went to a Fall Festival afterwards. It was a gorgeous day. Worked some on my carpet this evening, but the smell of the cleaner is so strong today. Strange, because I didn't smell it the last time I worked on the carpet. Hope it fades away for tonight.

Tomorrow should be nice too. Hope to go on another walk.

Sounds like you are having fun too! I hope your weigh-in was much better than mine. :)

Are you just house cleaning the carpet? I have a steam cleaner. You can rent them and they do a pretty good job.

Went for a great drive with Steel. We only saw a squirrel and 2 deer. Walked a lot at the flea market. We're going back again tomorrow as we didn't get to see it all. Sounds like you had a nice day and Jack won the talent show! Yay Jack!

Sunday was a gorgeous day. I also walked for 3 hours like you, but in the afternoon at the State Park. Had a wonderful time. My dog loved it too.

I had Stanley Steamer come in and do our carpet when we first moved in. However, they did nothing for the area next to the walls. Told me that there was nothing they could do for it. Probably just making the job easier for themselves. Maybe I should rent a motorized carpet cleaner/scrubber so I don't wear my arms out, and it may work better and quicker.

No air conditioner!?!?!? :) Yes, I believe the cooler weather is headed our way. Suppose to get rain after midnight and tomorrow. That will drop the temperatures too.

I did a great job today avoiding all the candy at work. I just didn't look at it. One day at a time.

Have a great Tuesday.

I have a Hoover steam cleaner and it does a great job.

I put away all the garden gnomes, frogs and turtles I had around in the flower beds. Then I had some big bags of old potting soil and dumped it in the garden. We're supposed to get some heavy rain and high wind tomorrow. It will probably knock the pretty leaves off the trees. My maple tree is still green. It usually is one of the last to turn a golden yellow.

You did good resisting the candy!

Rained hard here this morning and was real windy, then the sun came out. Chris brought home a basket of apples so I made a big pot of applesauce. I'll freeze some of it. I went out to lunch with a friend and just had a nice day.

Have a great Wednesday!

Hope you had a Happy Sunday! It was a nice day here, a little overcast, but perfect weather. I spent it catching up on laundry, groceries, and bills. I was so glad to have the extra hour today. I took my dog for a nice walk this morning. I love going for walks with him. It starts my day out just right. This evening I baked some butternut squash and then added some gluten free pasta (brown rice/quinoa) and sage. The squash was little a little overcooked for what I wanted, but it still tasted good. Just not in pieces, more a spread. A quick alternative to ravioli. I forgot to add the toasted sliced almonds, but maybe next time.

I didn't lose any weight since my last weigh-in. I think I may have gained 1/2 pound, however, I won't count it right now because I was partially dressed. So I plan on weighing in officially next Saturday. That way I can work on this extra weight I feel I really have gained. :)

Hope you have a fabulous Monday!!
