Things are going well here. Kinda gloomy like it is at coco's for a 2nd day. We had a funeral yesterday. Didn't get home till late. My husbands relatives from S. carolina were in, and still in. Not sure what's up for the breakfast thing. He says he isn't going anywhere today. my house is a reck. I haven't been home in a week to get it done.
Coco-ive been readying the book. It's good. I'm finding if i read more than one, I have a hard time focusing on the change that i need to make. But I think this book is going to take some time to absorb. I read the 3 meal a day thing. I can't do that one. But I use veggies, for the most part for my mid morning snack. I have to work on the mid afternoon snack. I could however, drop the treat at night. That sugar thing after a meal to make it complete. I understand what you mean about the getting home and eating. I sometimes have that problem. What i'm finding helps is eating a granola bar on the way home from work. I'm learning to keep food with me at all times. Healty for the most part. Friday when we went to my mom's doctor appointment i took a lunch box. My sister always does this. Saves on spending too. I put some snacks in it for me, and some for brandon. It helped. We still went out to eat, but i made good choices somewhat. I'm getting in the habit at resturants that a meal isn't a meal with out french fries. My problem with the eating when you get in the door is my inlaws. I ate all day yesterday. Bits and pieces. none really good for you. But it was there, everyone else was eating, and I had nothing to do. I've never seen so many people in one house before. My husbands aunt says she has the same problem. I didn't mention it to her, we were talking about my weight loss. I had tons of comments on it yesterday. The first really in their family that has noticed it. But I didn't have a baggie tshirt on, i was dressed up for the funeral. I said I still have my days, and sometimes when i go to different places, i tend to eat. She said she does when she goes to her sisters house. (my inlaws). So I have to figure something out when i go to their house to do. The hands are doing. Doctor said really not much change since the last time. But if i would of gotten in there 2 weeks prior when the were hurting probably would have. so I'm wareing my braces when i can. Exercising, and getting the weight off.
Sherri- I knew which house it was right away. Good for you. You wouldn't want to come into my house. We are ready to get dumpsters out to haul some of the crap out. Finding clothes for brandon for the funeral he has more clothes than anyone could ware in a week, so to cut down on laundry, i'm putting a laundry basket in his room, and only doing his laundry when it gets full. so that would leave only hubby's and mine on a daily basis. Not sure how this will go, but I'm in for some changes.
I'm sure i'm boring some of you with details on my laundry, sorry . Trying to make inward changes, to change eating habits. Sometimes i feel overwelmed, that's why i use to eat. But i use to be able to find a reason to eat no matter what. So I'm trying to change that.
Well need to check my mail and work on a bunch of stuff. Take care, and take it one day at a time

i must have missed something somewhere. who's funeral did you go to. The weather is great here. Sun shining but hot. We are suppose to get some cooler weather this weekend. I swam laps early this morning. Pool is still very warm. Well I have a lot to do.Hope all have a good weekend.
We have a lot of MIA people.

good morning eleni
It was kinda different. Went to Hubby's uncles. But they put to rest his aunt and uncle. See in 1999 my hubbys mom's sister, his aunt died. They cremated her. We had a service at that time at the Kingdom hall (hubby's mom and dad are witness, hubby isn't). They kepted her ashes, and when her hubby died, this week, we had a service for him. He was a veteran. They also had her ashes there, and they were both put to rest at that time.
He wasn't a witness. Family was orginally from jackson, michigan. But moved to s. carolina. This is where they choose to rest. (the ones that past away).

Wendy,

I do that with megan's laundry. I do hers seperate because she has so many clothes. I only need to do her laundry once a week. I do mine and johh's like every 2-3 days. Then the beds on saturday with megans laundry. It does save a lot by doing this I think. But I don't do my laundry with johns because they are usually greasy. So I do all of our seperate.LOL
Keep up the changes girl they are working and you are seeing results. Remember to stop procrastinating.LOL
You did great with what you got accomplished today.

Eleni,

I wish I could say it was warm here to go swimming. But it is cold an damp here. Like wendy and coco house.

Went to church today. I wanted to get involved with the youth but it won't happen. I am looking for something to get started or involved in that will help others or make an impact on them. I just feel this calling to do something and I don't know what to do. I have never felt this way before. But I am starting to find me and I don't even know me. So I think it is opening up a lot of doors that I had closed. I will figure something out.

You all have a great day.

Hi Ladies
Did everyone enjoy their extra hour of sleep? I did. Here it is 5:30 and almost dark already. Boy does it make the evenings seem long. I dont like this time. Not much happening here. Went to church. We were suppose to have a sub for a preacher today. But he didnt show up. So we didnt have preaching today. Just sunday school. Came home and fixed lunch. Then we went car shopping. Thinking of getting something else. Until you look at the prices. Even the used car prices are unbelieveable. But at least today you didnt have all the sales people running out to you. You could look and not be bothered. We found a subaru outback. But it didnt have the price on it. It was a used one. So may call about it. Not sure. Kinda like the subaru forresters. So not sure what we will decide on getting. Also like the ford explorer sport trac. But we are looking for something that will get a little better gas mileage. So we will see what happens. Not going to rush into though.
Did remember to set my clocks. In fact yesterday late afternoon I started setting them so I wouldnt forget. Hubby has PT in the morn. Dont see where it is helping much. Said he does feel a little stronger. But for the unsteadiness in his walking and the pain in his back. It hasnt helped. I just hope he gets done with PT before the weather gets to bad. I dont drive on the bad roads unless I just have to. If hubby needs a DR or the ER something like that I will but other wise I dont. Boy can you believe in a month it will be Thanksgiving. And then Christmas. Just seems as if we had all that. I know some of the stores are starting to put out some Christmas stuff already. I think it is just a little too early for that.
Eating is going so-so. I really need to make myself write down what I am eating. That helps me alot. Am also trying not to eat after 6 or 7. If I do feel like I want something. I will fix some coffee or hot cocoa or tea. That seems to help. Well I better get off here. You ladies are probably bored with all this. Hope everyone had a great weekend.
A TOPS PAL

Coco,

I hope you find the car you want. I agree that the prices are soooo high. It is ridiculous.
That is great that you are choosing to not eat after 6-7. I am going to do that for the rest of the week to. It seems a good bad habit to work on this week along with all the other ones.LOL That is great that you are drinking instead of eating. Does the drinking help you to not be hungry?
