Good morning all
Nothing new my way. Piano lessons are going good. Eating still not good. Exercising good. So like I said "same ole same"
Christie&Wendy. I will be sending you the TOPS bingo game this week. I got a copy from lady that made them up and I have to make copies to send you.
Christie. I have tried to call you several times and can not get thru. If you changed your number e-mail me .
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Lots of picnics going on.Eat sensibly and you should be fine. I know. Easier said than done. Just do what you can.

HI Ladies! Hope the holiday weekend is NOT an excuse for eating too much.

Eleni, brown fingers huh? You just like those fall colors. Glad you're being good with the exercising. Sorry about the gain, but I know how that goes. I gained 3 pounds last week. YUCK! You and I need to control our eating. Keep your fingers busy... and clean.... at those piano keys. I'd love a copy of the bingo game too. Thanks

Sheri, good going on your loss. You have such a 'keep in keepin' attitude. You are the strength behind a lot of us. Thank you for the card. It is on the computer so I know I have someone watching over me and constantly reminding me that I can do this! You know you can too!

I honestly can't remember what you other ladies did at weigh in, but Wendy I think you gained. You will get it off. Nita, I think you lost...Woo-Hoo! Sorry if I'm wrong! Better not guess at any more. It has gotten to the point that if I don't make notes, I can't remember things. Guess I have too much in my life to keep track of.

My eating was real good Friday and yesterday it wasn't. So far today good. Geesh, can't keep things constant. School is starting next week for Melissa and I am dreading it. I lose more of my privacy and I hate it. Got her new w/c and it is big and heavy. Don't know why they have to add the bulk. Not easy to pivot and we had to take off the extended handle bar so we could get it into her bedroom. Loading into the van is not easy now either. One person has to get in and pick it up to turn it....even getting her over the floor door jamb.....so hard to tip back. This is not easy with us getting older and 'weaker'. I won't be able to move it around when my back goes out. She's had some respiratory 'crud' for almost a week, but we've been able to control the temps so we're getting better.

College dd is stressing big time right now. Classes are difficult.......I'm hoping she will settle down soon. Wish I could be of more support to her.

I'm making rib eye steaks with cooked cabbage for dh and me tonight. Really looking forward to it. We like potato's but know we don't need them....just eat some more veggies. Um!

Have a good weekend ladies, I'll be thinking of you all 'laboring' to stay on track.

Hi Ladies
I hope everyone is having a nice Sunday. Mine hasnt been too bad. The sun has been shining. Kinda warm and a little breezy. Beautiful day. Cant believe it is the first of Sept already. Before you know it it will be Christmas. Boy time seems to be flying.

Not much really going on here today. Went to church. Then went out to eat. Was bad. Had a burger and fries. But havent had any other meal today. Had a slim fast bar for Breakfast. But no supper. Canned some salsa today. Got 12 1/2pints and 5 pints. Had just enough for a little sample. Dont taste too bad.

Well I guess I better get off here. I dont want to bore you all to tears. I hope everyone has a good day tomorrow. We are having a cookout at my parents farm. I am taking chicken breast and macaroni salad. Used the just 2 good mayo. So that wont be too bad. We will also have burgers and hot dogs. But thought I would pass on those and have the chicken. I like the chicken fixed on a open fire. Well I hope everyone is doing ok. I hope everyone has a good Labor Day. Thinking of all of you.
A TOPS PAL
