WHATS HAPPENING TUESDAY

We have almost got every thing done....all we have to do yet is put 2 more pieces of trim on the bathroom ceiling and fix the threshold on the bathroom door.  Then I will get everything out , clean the floor Joe will take out the old cook stove.  And we will be done except for the exterior door in the laundry room that we are putting in....then we need to do a little bit of cutting or digging up some things around the outside by the porch...there are two rose of sharons that need to be dug up....a smaller white one and a small double purple ....and a bunch of honesuckle....smells good when in bloom but trys to climb up under the siding on the house.

 Did you all get rain today where you are? We may have been the only ones that didn’t get any... at least not as of now.  It got cloudy about 2 pm on Monday afternoon but no rain. At least the temp is less than it was. Would be nice to stay like this but we know it wont.

I am getting okra out of my garden now.  Not a lot but it is starting to really produce. Each plant has probably 20 or so little pods on it....just have to watch it as it gets too big quick...

I am still getting lots of tomatoes ...now it is the pineapple tomatoes and yellow tomatoes ...there are a lot of green ones on yet....

We picked a watermelon they are so good. especially when you grow them yourself. Lol

 

Well everyone has some really good ideas about the spells im having...but I swear there isn’t sugar involved. Well I didn’t think so but just went and looked at the sugar content of the milk whish I couldn’t get the milk I usually get so this had 7 grams per cup and used 4 cups for the pudding. And was only 4 grams in the crust. So all together was 32 grams so if you divide it by 8 would be only what 4 grams so that couldn’t be it... and the other two times it was protein shakes  that didn’t have any more than that either. So I think it was really over eating and too fast. Just have to watch what im doing I think.

 

Susan you are doing so well . when you started what did you hoped you would get down to...what was your dream? What ever it  was I bet you make it....just don’t make yourself get too skinny...we are all so proud of you tho...keep up the good work...

Your right the meeting is the 24^th of this month... everyone will be anxious to see the both of you....

 

Bec and you say you aren’t losing weight? If your 14s are getting too big it probably means that you really wear 12s...you are a lot smaller than you think you are. ...you are looking really good. Sorry you aren’t feeling well. Hope you are better today.

Thanks for praying about the rental for us.....it really is important....i know it may not sound like it to some...but it is....thanks love you...

 

Janet so great to see you on here again....sounds like you have been as busy as usual....that was great that you got to see Tammy...i bet she has changed...wish she would come over to a meeting sometime soon. 

We are going to trust in God about the skin cancer....and claim that is is ok  that they can get it all and wont be a probem for you ever again.

Im glad to see that you are going toget you tummy tuck and other problems done. Are you going to have Dr. Hawes to do it?

I am really anxious to see and read your book.....i know I will enjoy it , I love reading your posts , they are always interesting, funny, though provoking and pleasant to read.

Hope to see you at the meeting this month....really missed you last month.....we need to see a new picture of that baby...i know she is growing like a weed as all of them do at this age.

So you are going to let Jon go to p ublic school this year? They all grow up so fast don’t they....wont be long till Jon is graduating from high school ...that sounds like a long way off but it really isn’t. you will turn around and wonder how did that happen....lol

Hey sorry I didn’t answer your email. I got so caught up in a bunch of stuff and had no way of getting on here anymore than I did. I still have got to get some stuff straightened up on here. I put everything on windows mail and it messed up and now all of my email address are there and I cant find a way to export them to Gmail web site. If it isn’t one thing it is another with a computer.  Glad to have you back hopefully. Love you girl.

 

 

Collette I don’t do a lot of carbs or rather bad carbs....i do eat a lot of veggies and fruit. Really I could be a vegetarian I think as long as I could have seafood and fish....lol I have a slice of bread once in a while...im afraid to eat it much because it is one of my triggers. The same as potatoes and pasta all the white things that are full of nothing but bad carbs. I do taste them once in a while but nothing but a bite. ....

As an after thing....the three times it has happened as an after deal I have full blown allergy attacks , started last night after everything else was over with weird huh? My nose is so stopped up , and my chest is tight like I have lots of congestion. I feel like im running a slight fever lol ...so wonder what else I can come up with ????

 

Lana good to see you on here . wish you would come on every day , it might help you to have someone to talk to once in a while about the carb craving...and I do pray for you daily and I know some of the others do too.

I talk about moving to Az but I am like you I love green trees and flowers etc. so don’t think I would be satisfied but if I wasn’t hurting it might be worth it.

 

 

Hey Barb glad you are home....and it is great  ..that you and your brother have reunited. Fantastic. Did your granddaughter enjoy the trip and get to wear her boots ???lol she is so funny.anyway glad you are home ...

 

 

Hope tomorrow is cool like this afternoon was....i will take as many of those days as I can get. ......have a great Tuesday

 

Good morning!  Jan it looks like we are in the same boat with all the work on the house.  We are remodeling the kids bathroom upstairs.  What a mess!  Frank took a weeks vacation to get it done.  Yesterday was demo day, my house is old built in 1925, so we're talking plaster walls, OMG the dust.  But we got it torn down.  He installed new plumbing for the shower and today we will drywall the shower and we are using corrugated tin for the walls.  Bead board for the main walls.  We kept the original tub, toilet and floor.  I love those little tiles on the floor.  We are trying to get this done while Jade is in Arizona.  Then we only have 3 people sharing a bathroom instead of 4.    Jade will be home on Monday.  My dad came over last night and Frank grilled out Mojito chicken.  He has his gallbladder out on Friday.  I will be so glad when all this is over!   I've lost 2 lbs this week! YAY!  So I'm on my way to the 180's and closer to goal.  I think I can I think I can LOL!  Slow and steady is how Its been.  I'm ok with that.  I am very healthy, I feel great, I take all my vitamins and get all my protein in.  Things are going great ( knocking on wood right now).  I feel very blessed.  My 20 year high school reunion is in a month.  I can't wait.  Before I would have been freaking out.  I found a skirt and blouse I might wear.  I will have to do a trial run, maybe post some pics.  I wanna look HOT, sizzling LOL! Pinup girl style.  Well I hope everyone has a wonderful day!  I have to get cracking on the bathroom and take my dad to the barber, he's got the longest hair and beard and today he says he's getting it cut!  Like one of the guys from ZZtop.  I just love him! He's hot a heart as big as a the sun.  Hope everyone has a great day! Lou ;)

Jan,
I wish I could get on every day. My boss is on vaca this week so I've had more time - she'll be back tomorrow I think so I'll be running like the proverbial chicken with it's head cut off!!! I am really trying on the carbs but it is soooooo hard. I know I can do it - just have to really watch everything and keep track. The tracker in my Iphone is good but when is misbehave I tend not to want to enter it. Sound familiar to everyone!!!
My DD called last night and she traded her/my old Explorer for a new Nissan Sentra. Got a Clunker deal and she really needed it. She got two years out of my old car after I gave it to her so that was pretty good. It just started to have many problems and this was a good time for her to get a good deal. She says the Sentra is not fancy - not gadgety but it was what she could afford. I'm very proud of her because she has only been at Office Max since last fall and she's gone from part-time to moving into a department manager's position. She's such a good worker that when she gets a job they love her and never want to let her go.
It poured here in Springfield/Nixa yesterday. I'm talking about pouring rain. John said he came home from the gym and took the umbrella out to get the mail and a neighbor came over to visit with him and they stood on the driveway for a few minutes under the umbrella and then John said that maybe they should go into the garage to visit. About a minute later they had a lightening strike really close to the house - John said he was glad he wasn't still out there with his lightening rod umbrella up!!!
Jan, I'm so jealous of your tomatoes. I love them but have given up growing them. No matter what I do I can't get them to grow. I buy them from local growers around here but it's not the same. I love tomato sandwiches but, like you, the bread just wants to ball up in my pouch. It doesn't really hurt, just feels weird.
There's really not much more news. We did go to St. Louis over the weekend to the Art Museum and to Costco and Trader Joes. I found the B12 dots at Trader Joes, got two bottles cause I don't know when I'll be back. Has anyone else seen the B12 sublingual dots? I have looked only at Walgreens and WalMart. Maybe I should try the health food store when these 200 are gone.
Hope everyone has a blessed day and I will see you at the meeting on the 24th.
Hugs,
Lana

Hey all;

I think I am awake now. I was so tired last night. It was a good tired. LOL

Yes, Jan she did wear her boots LOL. Both the granddaughters wore boots. We went to the Mesquite Rodeo and not long after we got there, they went over where you could see the cowboys getting their saddles, then I saw the security talking to them and he left for a minute and when he came back he took them back to meet the cowboys. She came back with pictures of a group of them and some with her. They were both in hog heaven. LOL It is a great rodeo, we had a great time.  Sunday we went to see the musem for JFK. Although it was in my lifetime, I learned alot that I didn't know. Very interesting. It was so different to actually see and stand close to the spot where the shooter was. To know he was there long enough to have lunch, etc. To learn the time line of everything he did. To actually see the corner's reports of all involved. I highly recommend if you are ever in Dallas to go see it.

So glad to see Peggy on the board again. Jan, I bet it is low sugar. We are kind of dang if we do and dang if we don't. We do need some sugar. At least that is my guess from experience. Need to call Dr. H. and check with them.

Have lots to catch up with today Better get busy.

Hugs to all

Barbara

 I had a great visit with my sister in Atlanta. We did the tourist stuff like the aquarium, Coca cola , King center,Stone mountain and tried at the carter center but it was closed for renovations. I flew out of Springfield so when I came back I had to do some shopping. I did some shopping in Atlanta but a suitcase can only hold so much. I found the DAV store in Springfield and got some good deals before I went to the mall. I have had to get some new stuff because I was getting baggy again. I am not losing fast but I am still slowly losing. I am happy with that, I went to Macys looking for navy pants and found what I wanted but they had only two sizes 14 and 4. I said no way can I wear a 4 but decided to try them on. I bought them. they are stretchy so they actually fit. Just so I didn't get to big headed I went to Dillards and found a dress but couldn't even zip a size 10 and had to buy a 14. So there you go I am a 14 / 4.  Just means size means nothing.
About to head up to DS's because ReBath is doing his bathroom today. Since its our house we try to make sure it stays halfway decent. They are expensive but fast. I hope  it turns out ok.

I am worn out and so tired. I slept on a futon at my sisters and didn't sleep much. I hope I catch up tonight. Have a good one.

I was so busy at work yesterday I didn't get a chance to check my email or OH until I got home.  After being on the computer all day, I'm not crazy about looking at it in the evening.

We had heavy rain and thunderstorms yesterday.

I altered 2 tops, 1 I took in 1 1/2" on each side and the other one 3 1/2" on each side.  Both were simple designs so easy to take in on the sides.

Tonight I must go to the gym.

 

I get my B12 dots at walmart.  They changed the bottle as they are now in a regular size one instead of the little brown glass bottle.

I have been busy in the garden since we got back from our weekend in Kansas City with family.  I am wore out and am now ready for bed.  If I go to bed now I will be up at 10 pm and not sleep the rest of the night.

Have been on a banana and peanut butter kick for a while when I get shaky and feel like I need some protein but I have started having headaches after eating peanut butter so I figure its the nuts that is triggering the headaches.  Just when I find something I like and can tolerate I start having to avoid it...

Got my haircut at walmart today real short so I won't have to mess with it for a while.  Will take less that 3 minutes to blow dry now!

My furbaby Cassie is losing weight and is real clingy.  I feel that its because she is missing Taylor.  I don't want to get another dog.  Any suggestions?  We have been walking every evening and I take her to the garden with me when I go.  She has lost about 4 pounds.  I got her some treats to help supplement her diet but will listen to any suggestions.

 

Take care and stay cool!

Sandy
