Hi Turtles,
It's a beautiful day here. Sunny and bright. We have our dgrandson here overnight. He's a cheerful kid and a lot of fun.
Looking forward to hearing how you all are doing. : to Bandit, Princess, Life4evr(so close to your 10%), Terri, Cherry, and all the newcomers. Let's do this!

Good morning all and happy Monday! Went to W/I on Saturday and as I thought the scale was way up - over 5 lbs but I am on track so will do better this week. I did not stay for the meeting as my oldest dog was not well and I had to get her to the vet - there was nothing they could do and I had to have her put to sleep so it was a very sad weekend for us. I had her from a puppy and she was almost 16 years old - she will be missed greatly.
I hope everyone had a great weekend and best wishes for a good week!

Hello everyone and happy Tuesday to you all! Nicer here today so will need to get out and get my yard mowed... it is crazy how fast the grass is growing...
Bandit: Thank you for your kind words, yes she was my fur-kid and I loved her dearly... was with me for a very long time and she will be missed. Our other dog, the GSD - is very moupy and missing her very much I think... I am trying to get him out for walks when it is not raining to help keep him moving.
Judy: How is your dd and new grandbaby doing? Sounds like you are super busy with the new addition.
Life: How are you doing lately? Anything new and exciting with you?
Have to run guys... take care and have a great day!
hi Turtles,
Princess, I am so sorry for the loss of your dear dog.
I am spending a great deal of time with my dd and dgrandchild. My dd still needs a lot of help, but each day she is improving and that's a good thing.
I get on top of my food and then I lose it again. Ugh. I keep on trying but my weight is pretty bad.
Okay, onward and downward. We can do this! I've missed my last three WW mtg. and am annoyed because I am a pass customer and I pay for the meetings whether I go or not. Haven't been able to get to my meeting and I haven't made time to go to any others. Things will calm down soon and fall back into routines and that will be good.
Wishing everyone : and : Remember: We deserve it!

Hi Everyone and happy Thursday... ready for Friday to get here! I have my TOPS meeting and W/I tonight, not really expecting much because while I have been pretty good on my food and very good on my exercise we have eaten out a couple of times and while I made good choices the sodium is catching up along with the inflammation from the exercise - I will be happy to have stayed the same as last week at this point and then hope for a loss next week once things get calmed down.
I went to a Zumba class last night, that was a tough one after really only doing walking or nothing for so long LOL... ugh. I asked my physical therapist yesterday if I could go back to my cycle classes (spinning) and she told me to give a try and see how it goes so I signed back up at the gym again.
Judy: you are only one person trying to take care of your daughter, your grandbabies, husband, and your self... don't be too hard on yourself - you deserve a break so do what you can and let the rest go for now. I have faith that you will slip right back on the wagon full time when you can.
Bandit: So you should be able to start going to the lake soon if the weather keeps getting warmer... yah! Have you done your spring clean up in the yard, etc yet? I could mow my yard twice a week right now and it would not be enough LOL!
Hi Turtles,
Princess, that is such an encouraging message. I do feel that way, but the other side of me is lamenting that I put on this excess weight last May and haven't shaken it off over the past year.
Well, I'll start the new date now. Sounds good!
Glad you're getting back into exercise, etc. Eating out is tough with me too because of the salt. Also, I had been doing so well then ate out. Did great eating out........but then the next day I went way overboard with food.
This is all such a delicate balance.
Hello Everyone and happy Friday! So happy this is the last work day of the week... it has been a long five days for some reason
Went to TOPS last night and had a gain, now THAT was dissappointing but I will keep at it. Just have to keep moving forward or I will talk myself off of the wagon quicker then all get out! LOL.
I sure hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and a happy Mothers Day! I think we are hosting here at the house but the guys are still wispering and trying to figure it out so who knows! I am going to offier to do the dessert though so I can enjoy some sweetness and not have another gain...
Judy: I totally feel your pain and my scale is way back up too... we can do this though even if it is a .2 loss at a time!
Hi turtles - nice to see you all posting when you can.
Been busy up here trying to get house stuff organized & I bottled a batch of wine yesterday, so all set for the summer season with wine.
Wanted to open trailer yesterday, but it was raining all day so need to get
up there before the long weekend to make sure everything is OK before we
land there.
Going into my dd tonight & staying over then she is taking me to see
Wizard of Oz at the theatre for Mothers Day, so that will be a nice outting
together.
My scale was also up Thurs evening at Tops (2#) but I wasn't surprised.
I had 2 dinners out plus I wore jeans since I was bowling afterwards.
Anyway, it is still disappointing to see a gain but at least I was prepared for it.
So, ladies we are all in this together and I thank everyone for posting here when you can & all the support and motivation I receive.
Goal next week is to get back to regular exercise, this has been missing for me since last fall. I have down a few walks here & there but not consistently which I desparately need.
Hello everyone and happy Monday to you all... ugh that was a very fast moving weekend! I need another one I think LOL!
Went to W/I on Saturday and was down a pound... I will take it and keep going. I went to my first spin/cycle class on Sunday in over 10 months... thought I was doing to die LOL... good lord it takes no time at all to get out of shape again! I only made it about 35 minutes and 11 kilometers but I will take it and go back again and again - it is one of the classes I truly enjoy - just need to get my endurance back up again.
Bandit: I always love to hear that you are thinking about opening or are in the process of opening your trailer up... it means summer is either here or on it's way
Hi Turtles,
We know it's almost summer when Bandit is opening her trailer.
So glad you had a good mother's day with your dd.
Princess, yes the weekend went really fast. Here's kudos for losing a pound.Weigh to go! :
Things here are so hectic, but today my dd's friend and I and my dh earlier finally finished moving my dd's family out of their house. Now we're going to help them arrange their new place which will be temporary.The exercise is good----I ache----but my food needs to be better. I am hoping to make my WW class on Wed. but we'll see what happens.
Wishing you all good things. : to all. Chime in when you can.
I love to hear what you have to say. We can do this . We are doing this.
Judy
Good Morning everyone and happy Wednesday to you all! Very pretty warm day here but lots of rain on the way but it would not be May in Indiana if we did not have lots of rain especially as we approach race week...
Went to a spin class last night and made it the whole time which is good since Sunday when I went I only made it about 35 minutes... Need to build my endurance up again I guess.
I need to get to my outside flowers and plants purchased soon, I am running behind on my gardening but it has just been so chilly here that I have not even thought about it - yesterday the temps went way up into the 80's and we had to turn the AC - Crazy!
Hello everyone and happy Thursday to you all! Went to a Zumba class last night and got in about 60 minute of exercise so that was a good thing... I am taking today off from any exercise and will not be going to TOPS as the hubs is leaving on a fishing trip and we have much to do to get him ready and out the door early tomorrow morning.
Eating is still hit or miss for me... good days and not so good days but I will keep at it and eventually will be back in the groove.
Hope everyone is having a great week and enjoying the warmer weather that is slowly moving in. Lot of rain for us here over the rest of the week and the next week too but that just means no yard work LOL!
Hi Turtles,
So glad to see you posting, Princess and Bandit. Hope dh has a good fishing trip.
All here is starting to calm down a bit. Got dd and her family out of the house they sold and into the house they're renting. Now they'll start looking for a house to buy.
We're finally getting rain here which should help the new grasseed dh put down grow. I've been getting so much exercise lifting boxes and unpacking that I think I've stopped the weight gain. Would love to break under 200# again so that I feel better about myself. That will happen.
Sending : to all. I must say our new grandbaby is absolutely adorable and so sweet. I've got all sort of yarn and I'd like to make a few sweet things for her. I quilted a blanket for her baby shower and made my usual double crochet soft yarn afghan. Now I'm ready to try something new.
Here's wishing a : in everyone's future!!!!
Have a good weekend,
Judy
Good morning everyone and happy Sunday to you all.
Went to W/I yesterday and was very disappointed to be up 2.4 lbs... I am exercising but the food part is still all over the place so really need to get it together otherwise this is a waste of time.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend and that you had a better W/I then I did
