Bewitching in October

CarolynF · 10-01-2009, 03:22 PM

Good morning/afternoon. I thought tomorrow was October 1st...Duh..

Well, I'm claiming a 2 pound loss this month..Finally. I'm hoping it's my new thyroid meds.

TuscanGirl · 10-01-2009, 04:28 PM

I wondered where you were!!

We have a new member on the September thread.
She needs your help!

CarolynF · 10-01-2009, 04:29 PM

Bumping this for all our Barry buddies..

Not much going on here..I am starting a new knitting project..Hopefully, it will go well, but you never know.

Did some yoga today..my once a week class. It was fun and really stretched some things that needed stretching.

sjl330 · 10-01-2009, 05:36 PM

Carolyn, I'll see your 2 and raise you 2 more, lol. I don't know why I'm laughing, it sure isn't funny. My official Oct 1 weight is: 151.5
Yikes!! Oh my, that's 4.5 up for the month. I promise I'll try to do better next month.

CarolynF · 10-01-2009, 09:50 PM

Hey, you know..at least we are "aware" of our weight gain/losses..There were many years I didn't even get on the scale when I was in denial..

TuscanGirl · 10-02-2009, 05:47 AM

I don't want to claim it, but I was 124 this morning! Ick!

Have a fun day everyone!
I'm off to a podiatrist at 7:30, then the grocery store, atty's office, bank, . . . . then off to see my mom and have lunch with DD25.

BBL!

ME TOO!!

Buffy45 · 10-02-2009, 09:18 AM

Morning peeps and Hi to Vanilla.
Lost 4.2 the first week on WW which puts me at 208.8. First week was easy and my BS stayed right where it should, so we will march on into week 2.
Have been getting out and walking 3 days so far this week so that is an improvement. Not much else going on here except the usual office work, blah, blah, blah.
Going back to Vegas in Oct. to take advantage of that great offer again and meeting up with my sis, both our birthdays are in Oct. so we are going to use that as an excuse. Will be great to spend some time with her.

CarolynF · 10-02-2009, 11:13 AM

Woww...everyone is doing so well..Congratulations to the 124 peeps and to you Buffy, too..

Did my exercising..

Vegas in October ought to be great!!!

sjl330 · 10-02-2009, 12:37 PM

Wouldn't it be fun if we could all meet up in Vegas?

It's very chilly and windy here today. I'm thinking it's going to be very brisk at the BBQ tonight.

Good job on all those losses girls!!

CarolynF · 10-02-2009, 12:50 PM

Yeah, Vegas..

Would be fun..

Yes, Sandy is it 64 here and windy, so I imagine KC will be a bit nippy, but that bbque will taste super, duper.

TuscanGirl · 10-02-2009, 04:24 PM

Long day.
Lots to tell, but too tired to type it!

Lunch with DD25 was great - we tried a new restaurant - Yum!

Staying in tonight.

all!

CarolynF · 10-02-2009, 09:39 PM

Mary Kay..We will waiting to hear your "story"..

I have a wedding tomorrow..Neighbor's dd getting married..The neighbor is a great smoker, etc..of meats, so I imagine they would have barbecue at the reception..Not so..just cake and nuts and punch. So, I'm eating a big lunch before I go..Gary's gone, so I'm going with
a friend..

TuscanGirl · 10-03-2009, 07:45 AM

Morning!

Happy Anniversary to me!!
28 years!!

We're celebrating tonight - going out to dinner!

DS17 has a soccer game today at 11:00 - prayers for no rain!

Carolyn - yeah - interesting day! One thing is they want to move her to the first floor.
We'd wanted her there to begin with - but I hate to move her again - she's almost settled!

Buffy45 · 10-03-2009, 08:16 AM

Morning peeps.
Hey, meeting in VEgas would be awesome!
Sounds like busy weekend plans for all.
Today I have nail and pedicure appt., run errands, go to the Elk's with DH and tomorrow a bridal shower to go to. Then, the weekend will have flown by as always!

CarolynF · 10-03-2009, 09:36 AM

Hey, Happy Anniversary to you and your dh, Mary Kay. Now, I can't believe that they have 2 stories in this place..Yes, I know what you mean about her being on the first floor..
Maybe they will move her for you..

It would be safer, I'm sure..

Yikes, it's 53 here now so I think I will need a jacket for the wedding this afternoon. I will try to avoid the cake or take a tiny little piece.

Buffy: My pedicure lady went to work at WalMart..She was excellent, so until I find someone else, I'm the pedicure lady.

Hi to Barbecue Sandy and Cindy and Vanilla.

TuscanGirl · 10-03-2009, 02:52 PM

Carolyn - yep - 2 stories - the other place did too!

CarolynF · 10-03-2009, 03:25 PM

Got back from the wedding..We didn't stay for the cutting of the cake, but I had some caramel on my apples..

It was very nice..And, I'm related to the groom in the way back machine. The groom's family lives in Manhattan, but our 8th great grandfather is the same person..Small world, huh?

MKay: They must have an elevator for these older peeps at the place, huh?

Wonder how KState did today in KCity..

sjl330 · 10-03-2009, 04:45 PM

They pulled out a win and it was a real nail biter too. Good for them. But sad for Iowa.

CarolynF · 10-03-2009, 06:42 PM

Yup...We were supposed to go to the game with Shawn, but dh is gone, so Shawn took some friends. Brett drove over there with friends..Nailbiters are fun..

Oh well..we have friends who went to IState..

TuscanGirl · 10-04-2009, 09:54 AM

Morning!

Yep - there is an elevator - though 3 sets of stairs and they caught my mom going up one of them . . . .

CarolynF · 10-04-2009, 03:22 PM

Mary Kay: Omgoodness.....feisty little gal, isn't she???

I made a quiche for breakie for a few days..So easy and so good..

Oh yeah..Dh is still on business trip..I was coming home from church and the red engine light came on my Camry..Grummblle...I'm afraid to take it around for errands this week, so I have to drive the old
farm pickup to Gary's office and get his Camry to use and leave the pickup there..Go out to the pickup and the tire is low on air..So, we have an air tank, so I get the tire up to 30..Hoping I can drive it the 15 miles tomorrow without a major problem..I called dh to let him know what was going on..It's always something when he is gone..

TuscanGirl · 10-04-2009, 03:48 PM

ALL that stuff seems to know when DH's are gone . . . .

How does it happen?

sjl330 · 10-04-2009, 05:50 PM

I hate car trouble! Because it seems like there's never any warning and I sure don't like those kinds of surprises.

I'm going to try to do a few days of protein to try to get my eating back on track and get these few extra pounds off. I'm hoping I can get into ketosis quickly and that'll help with my bad eating. No appetite makes it so much easier to resist the no-nos.

Maybe they should put kiddie gates on those stairways. That could really be dangerous. Have they decided if they're moving your mom for sure yet? I hate to see her moved again so soon but it actually might be better now than after she gets a chance to really get attached to her new apartment. It's so hard to know isn't it? Sort of like raising kids, you do the best you can do and hope it all turns out for the best. With advice like that maybe I should write a book, lol.

CarolynF · 10-04-2009, 08:45 PM

Protein days are a great way to get back into ketosis..

I often do one..mine were always Mondays..(wonder why?)..LOl

Wish me luck on the highway with "old red" tomorrow. No cup holders, so I won't be drinking and driving..LOLOL..

TuscanGirl · 10-05-2009, 05:38 AM

Morning!

Today is PEO day and I have a couple of errands to run. DS17 has a soccer game tonight - it's OOT though, so I may be skipping it!

DD22 will become DD23 on Wednesday!!!!

Good luck Carolyn - you can always hod that cup between your legs!

Sandy - usually Monday's for me too - If I do protein only for 3 days I lose all cravings!

CindyCRNA · 10-05-2009, 06:52 AM

Good morning all! Well, it's been a busy week. I moved DHOR27 to my best friends house where she hangs out with her 24 y/o mare . She is happy at her new home and it is cheaper for me. I finally made the decision to move DHOR9 also to a less expensive barn. My rent for the 2 of them was going up to $1700 a month but now I have it down to $875. I couldn't justify $1700 a month. I told my BF we have to buy land and now is a good time.

I know you live in Kansas Carolyn, but I swear I could get in my car and drive a 2 mile radius of my house and find 10 shops and 50 nail techs! We have at least 1 or more shop in every shopping strip and if it is a 4 corner shopping area there are at least 8 shops, it is crazy, I don't know how they stay in business.

Buffy45 · 10-05-2009, 09:55 AM

Morning friends.
Busy weekend, yesterday was a bridal shower for the daughter of a very good friend of mine. 7 out of the 9 of us in my dinner club were there, we got some great pictures of the 7 of us, all of whom have been together in a club for the past 13 years or so, such good women and good friends. I treasure that picture. Did good eating at the shower, just tastes of the food and no cupcake, only diet coke to drink.
WW working real well for me right now, the byetta is working so great for me, even with the added carbs you can eat in WW, the BS is staying right where it should be and weight is coming off. 206.6 this morning.
I did go way over on points yesterday, after being so good at the shower I went to the movies and ate some Poppycock caramel corn

, but I did come home, log it all in my points tracker and if I walk every day the rest of the week and stick to my daily points I think I will come out just right. Supposed to rain off and on all week though so will have to make sure I get that walking in.
MK, I think if you prefer the ground floor for your mom, and I would, I would make the move now, before she gets acclimated to where she is now. It will be hard on all of you but better later.
Cindy, gee whiz, $1700 a month, that is some day care place,

. Glad you are getting your "kids" moved to somewhere they like and save you some money. Land always seems to be a good investment. We have some friends, he retired at 50 after investing in some land, improving it and selling it and a business he had built up, of course now he gets bored all the time

Sandy, good luck with your protein only day, on LC it seems like if you can be super strong for 2-3 days, then you are back in ketosis and the appetite drops like a rock.
Hope you all have a great day!

sjl330 · 10-05-2009, 11:15 AM

Your dinner club sounds like so much fun. Do you meet once a month? People take turns picking restaurant or do you eat at each other's homes? I might try to get something going with my friends. I'm sure we already eat together at least once a month but one more time "officially" sure wouldn't hurt, now would it?

You're doing so well Buffy. I'm glad it's working for you. So far so good on my protein. I'm pretty psyched so maybe I'll accomplish something this time.

My rent for the 2 of them was going up to $1700 a month but now I have it down to $875. I couldn't justify $1700 a month. I told my BF we have to buy land and now is a good time.

Busy weekend, yesterday was a bridal shower for the daughter of a very good friend of mine. 7 out of the 9 of us in my dinner club were there, we got some great pictures of the 7 of us, all of whom have been together in a club for the past 13 years or so, such good women and good friends. I treasure that picture. Did good eating at the shower, just tastes of the food and no cupcake, only diet coke to drink. WW working real well for me right now, the byetta is working so great for me, even with the added carbs you can eat in WW, the BS is staying right where it should be and weight is coming off. 206.6 this morning. I did go way over on points yesterday, after being so good at the shower I went to the movies and ate some Poppycock caramel corn , but I did come home, log it all in my points tracker and if I walk every day the rest of the week and stick to my daily points I think I will come out just right. Supposed to rain off and on all week though so will have to make sure I get that walking in. MK, I think if you prefer the ground floor for your mom, and I would, I would make the move now, before she gets acclimated to where she is now. It will be hard on all of you but better later. Cindy, gee whiz, $1700 a month, that is some day care place, . Glad you are getting your "kids" moved to somewhere they like and save you some money. Land always seems to be a good investment. We have some friends, he retired at 50 after investing in some land, improving it and selling it and a business he had built up, of course now he gets bored all the time Sandy, good luck with your protein only day, on LC it seems like if you can be super strong for 2-3 days, then you are back in ketosis and the appetite drops like a rock. Hope you all have a great day!

Do you meet once a month? People take turns picking restaurant or do you eat at each other's homes? I might try to get something going with my friends. I'm sure we already eat together at least once a month but one more time "officially" sure wouldn't hurt, now would it? You're doing so well Buffy. I'm glad it's working for you. So far so good on my protein. I'm pretty psyched so maybe I'll accomplish something this time.
