We got about 3 inches of snow then freezing rain and ended with plain rain. What a sloppy mess. It's going to freeze up tonght so it should be interesting tomorrow.

My mother in law is doing good. Back to her old self. Thanks for asking!

Do you go to a park to jog? Or do you jog along a road?

I'm not doing so good this week. I'm stuck in the house with temptations :(

Today was a disaster. First I hurt my knee walking on the ice. I guess my ice grip caught in the ice. Then Sam bought some Girl Scout cookies at work and I had some Thin Mints. I guess I was depressed about my knee. I don't have any will power!!!!!!!

Hope you are doing better than I am.......

Oh I am so sorry you hurt your knee. That is horrible. So much ice lately. I hope you feel better soon.

What! :yikes: Girl Scout cookies!!! Yikes. I would have no will power too. Thanks for tipping me off. Now I will have to make sure I only enter one end of the grocery store to make sure I don't seem them out there selling cookies. I would want to help them out, but then I would buy too many cookies and EAT THEM!!!

Tomorrow is weigh-in. I hope we both do good. I don't know how well I will do this week, since I have eaten waffles a few nights. I hope it didn't throw me off track to much.

Our town has an old railroad track that went through the town. The town took up the rails and made a paved walking trail that goes close to one end to the other. It is about 2.5 miles one way. So it is a good trail to walk on and bicycle on. Since it is in town, it makes it easy to take a few streets and sidewalks here and there to add extra walking distance. Very nice trail. I only have to drive about 2 miles to get there to start my walk. That is the trail I do on the weekends sometimes. The jogging that I do during the week is around my neighborhood. We live in a subdivision. It has sidewalks that I use for walking, but I jog on the roads unless a car is coming. I also wear a reflective vest when I jog since it is usually dark out.

My knee feels a bit better. I hope the rain we have coming tomorrow and Sunday melts away the ice. Chris fell yesterday walking across the yard and bruised his hip.

It's great that you have a walking trail near your house. I don't think I could jog very far with my bad knees, but I do walk around the fields when there isn't any ice and snow. I'll soon need to start picking up branches along the edges of the hay fields.

Hope we have a good weigh-in. I don't think mine will be good :(

Got most of my walking in before the rain today. Figured it would be too wet tomorrow. Got to work on a lot of paperwork this weekend.

Just looking at my calendar with work and when I might be able to may a trip in your area. Will you be free to meet up on Friday, 2 March or Saturday 3 March for a couple of hours? I can look at other dates to if need be.

Hope you had a great Saturday!

What a rainy, rainy day here. It almost stopped a few times, but it just lured me outside just so I would get wet is all. Just too wet to do anything really. I went to church, did a little shopping, and paperwork later. Guess it is better than ice though. Hope you get some warmer weather soon.

You're still losing! Yeah! Great job. Keep at it. :carrot: And I did see the girls selling the cookies today, but I avoided that spot all together just to be safe. I'm glad you told me.

Friday, 2 March sounds good. I remember it takes longer to get there than the GPS says, so I will have to be prepared this time. The last 2 times, I was an hour late. Your lunches are great, but I feel guilty for you cooking for us all the time, and then being late on top of it. It is better for you to meet up in the later morning or early afternoon? If lunchtime is still best, we can go for that too.

Hope you have a great Monday with sunshine. :sunny:

This could be the year when it happens
for all things great and small .....

Okay, I'll come for lunch. You don't have to twist my arm too hard. I am a lacto/ovo vegetarian (does eat milk and egg products). Just don't eat creatures big or small.

Well my portion size increased today. Not intentionally. The meal I got was enough for two days. I should have separated it at once, but didn't. I was busy with work and eating off and on. Before I knew it, it was all gone. Guess I should consider that a lesson learned and take actions right away next time.

Just a long busy day today, so I didn't get the exercise I wanted. I will have to try harder tomorrow.

Hope you have a good Wednesday and have a Happy Valentines Day!

Sorry I didn't post last night. I went to an Ash Wednesday service and didn't get home till late.

Tonight I made Sam a Valentine Day dinner. I watched my portions so hopefully I didn't mess up my weigh-in too much.

Thank you for the lovely Birthday card!!!!!!!!

Sorry I haven't posted in the last few days. Just long hours at work.

On March 2nd, it will just be Jack and me. Mark has some other things he wants to take care of for now. He said Thank you for the invitation though.

I missed out on Ash Wednesday Service. I had it planned, but work overtook my leave time, so I missed out. I wasn't happy about that either, because I had asked to have off that day, but ended up working. I thought I might be able to attend some services at work, but didn't get to do that either.

Wow, your birthday card just zoomed there. I thought it would take at least a week or so. Better before your birthday than after! :)

Sounds like you had a lovely Valentine's Day! Ours was low-key, but still nice.

Well I guess our few days of warmer weather is back to winter tomorrow. Hope it won't be too bad because I have another run planned for tomorrow.

My Daffodils are starting to come up! I hope the rabbits won't eat them.

Good luck with weigh-in tomorrow!!

We're going to get 3-5 inches of snow then a big warm-up so it won't last long. Now I have mud. Lots and lots of mud. But I'll take that over ice any day.

My tulips and daffodils are starting to poke thru too and I noticed it's a little lighter longer at dusk.

I'm sure you'll have a great weigh-in!

Weigh-in for me today showed down 1/2 lb. I thought for sure it would be more, but that's just the way it goes. Oh, I see you're the same. We are still headed in the right direction.

We had very cold but sunny weather this morning, but later today we got a bit of snow. Just a dusting. Nothing like you have. I hope the sun chases away all your snow. Stay warm!

Watched a movie tonight that was scary and disturbing called "The Visit". Now I am upset with myself for watching it. It really has made me sad and depressed. I need to stay away from movies like that. They aren't good for me. I have to focus on the good things in life and stay away from the evil. Evil comes in many forms. Well enough about that.

Had a lovely jog/walk this morning with one of my friends. It was cold but sunny. The weather held out until we were done and then the bad weather moved in. We were very lucky. I expected the bad weather earlier this morning, so glad it took its time to get here.

Hope you have a lovely Sunday.

Wow, what a muddy day here. It started off icy on everything ,but the sun sure changed that. Took my dog to the dog park so we could meet up with a friend and her dog. The whole place was swampy, but the dogs had a great time running around the whole area, and a few other dogs joined in too. I was able to take him to the river for a swim afterwards, and he was able to get all the mud off of him. The temperature went up to 65 today, with sunshine so it was real nice. Now he is not as itchy and much happier.

Hope you have a great Monday!

What a busy day at home, catching up on bill paperwork, etc. Still need to work on my taxes, which I haven't started yet. I will get to them soon.

Not too much going on here otherwise. Just a drizzly cool type of day. Went to BJ's and Lowe's looking for electric fireplaces. However, the season has past now and just a few left overs there.

Feeling bloated today, don't know why. Guess I need to get back to my slimfast drinks.

Hope you have a good Tuesday.

Went and did some grocery shopping for my mother-in-law. Was dreary here too so I cleaned my 10 gallon fish tank. I want to get some different fish and snails tomorrow. I was thinking about it and realized I've had fish for over 50 years! My first fish was from a carnival where you win a goldfish by throwing a ping pong ball into a little bowl :)

Went and bought some new bed sheets today. Most of mine are pieces of various sets or just don't fit, so I needed to get some new ones. Don't care for the super soft or silky ones they have today. Prefer the more course cotton ones, and I think we found one set from Homegoods. I washed them today, and will have to try them next. Looked for a new comforter too, but didn't care for any I saw.

It got up to 76 degrees today. That is just crazy. Tomorrow is suppose to be the warmest day of the week, so we will see if it does get warmer. I loved the weather today.

Was hungry for something sweet today, and scanned my cupboards several times with no luck. Nothing there. Thank goodness I had none. One more day gone.

Hope you have a good Wednesday!

Today started off wonderful until I got to work and then had pain, etc from what I believe is another Kidney stone trying to exit my body. I was running to the bathroom every 10 minutes, literally for a 2 hour period. Eventually I went to the work medical center, who really didn't do anything for me. I had some emergency medication with me, but some of it I can't take and then drive. So I left in the early afternoon, and made it home with a few stops enroute to the bathroom as well. Took the medicine when I got home, and now I feel better, but just hope the kidney stone is gone by morninng.

I ate quite a bit of food today, but I was worried about all the bleeding, and I wanted to make sure I had enough energy to get home. I had the sub on the way home at one of my stops. Not an excuse for an extra meal. Just a real reason for eating the sandwich.

We hit 80 degrees here today! Seemed almost too hot compared to what we are use to here for winter. I think it may have been an all time high for this time of year. Suppose to get colder though over the next few days.

I am excited about our future meet up day! Hope you have a good Thursday!

Still don't feel good. I will try to make it through the weekend and then schedule an appointment with a Doctor on Monday. If that doesn't work, then I will just go to the hospital. This is just torturous. I did take a painkiller early this morning at 4am, but that was after 4 hours of no sleep and pain. I am trying to avoid taking them because they have codeine in them, and the last thing I need is to become addicted to drugs.

Not much else happening. Just trying to make it through the day. I am not going to weigh-in tomorrow. My stomach is just bloated out with all the liquids I have been drinking, so I know my weight will be up. So it won't be accurate to weigh-in. I hope you have a successful weigh-in though. You have been working very hard at it.

Have a good Saturday!

Hope you are ok......

Went to hospital today. I have a kidney stone and kidney infection. I have lots of medication to take for next 2 weeks. I am off from work this week.

Oh no! Hope you feel better! I'm glad you went to the hospital and didn't try to tough it out. I really think maybe you shouldn't come on Friday. The weather is going to be real bad starting Wednesday night and thu to Saturday. They're saying a nor'easter coming up the coast. Let me know what you think.

Hi Renee, sorry but we will have to postpone our visit. I not well enough for the trip and I can't drive with the medications I am taking. I'm so glad I don't have cancer. My family has more of it then we need. That is always my fear. Sorry

No problem! You need to get better. Cancer is a scary word for sure. Did you see my post from last night? Take care and rest. Post when you can. :hug:

Hope you are staying good on your diet. Have you been getting anymore snow? I'm still in the same shape here, just suffering. Yesterday I tried walking in place in the living room but wasn't for too long. Just trying to help that stone get out of me. I am so bloated from all the water I have to drink. It makes it uncomfortable to anything. I just lay in the living room or bedroom. The bathroom is my new living space. Today I go to see a urologist. I hope he can help get me back on track. Enjoy your day.
Oh, and I did see your post. Hope the bad weather misses your area.

Are you feeling any better? What did the urologist say?

We might get 8-10 inches of snow. Just depends on what track the storm takes. I walked around one of the fields today picking up fallen branches. Still pretty wet in places. At least I didn't get any ticks :)

Hope the snow skips by you. I know you must be getting tired of it by now.

Feeling a little better this morning. Took my dog for a small walk and he was just so happy to be outside running around this morning.

The urologist said to stay on on the medication. Some of it takes quite a few days before it fully works in my body. So it should be feeling a little better in the next few days. All we can do for now is hope the stone passes. If it doesn't after 3 weeks, then I will have to have surgery. I also have another larger one in my kidney that I will have to have surgery for too, but he just wants to work on this smaller one first since that has already left my kidney but is stuck in the path from there, and then we will handle the larger issue.

I will be going back to work on Monday. Although it will be awkward, I will have to continue to strain my pee every time I go to check for the stone. Since I take the heavier medication in the evening, the doctor said that would help lessen some of the effects of drowsiness while driving. So hopefully I will be okay driving.

Have a good Thursday!

Glad you're feeling a bit better. Hopefully it will clear up and you won't need surgery.

We're going to get hammered with rain, snow and 40-50 mile an hour winds tomorrow. I won't be surprised if we lose power.

Take care and rest!
