i find that when it comes to good kitchen appliances or what not..the more $$$ the better the produce is

the RR set was only $99.00

[Deb]

i had tons of speggetti sauce letover so im making lasagna

and im soaking peas in the crock for ham and pea soup

[Deb]

we decided to stay home and have a jammie night

going to watch *Deadwood* the series

we have the 3 box set and have never watched from start to end

will take some watching but from what we have seen its a hoot

oh wait.....L/B is napping

i love days off

[CJMO]

You wore LB out

Laura 6 12 hr shifts. Whewww good loses

Cathy good loses for you too

Pat glad to see you.

Misty I don't like wind either. Tends to bring branches down

[shelby'snana]

good for you Deb !

[CJMO]

No weight loss so far.

11 degrees this morning. We had an ice storm and snow but the ground was warm enough that the ice is pretty well gone off the roads. We kept our power. Good thing since the kerosene heaters are at the lake helping to keep it warm there. The furnace motor is supposed to be in today

[Deb]

Laura how did you sleep?

i have been sleeping better now that im working out every day again

Cheryl how much weight are you trying to lose?

i am up a pound..thanks to the ham and pea soup

little sprinkle of snow here over night ..L/B will clear it and then go to our lakehouse to do a couple of things..my tenant is working out great there

so im having a bow-flex session and cleaning the building day

now just how many calories i wonder do i burn cleaning this building

[Deb]

Morning all...... slept pretty good. Took my magnesium and melatonin about 10:30 and went to bed at 12:15.. woke up every time I turned over of course, cause my back is sore. Yucky cloudy day but I'm gonna go to the park ( without Allie ) and just walk and try to loosen it up today. Have to work tomorrow.......

[shelby'snana]

[shelby'snana]

I only needed to lose 5 as of late summer, but now I need to lose 16 !!! Yikes ! Oh well, I can do it and so can you . You really work out hard Deb, that's awesome. Walked 2 miles at park and back feels a little better. Thanks

[CJMO]

[Deb]

oh we are all in the same boat

but we are together

[misty1028]

Deb I have RR cookware too. Wish I had seen the deal on the 99.00 set first. What color do you get. I get the red. DH got me the Kindle Fire hd for xmas so I've been reading every night. Now I'm going to get rid of alot of my reg. books. Saves on space.

Cheryl wow you've got the cold weather now. It's been pretty nice here all weekend. Hope you parts come in, it sures taking long. Did you find a plan that your following yet. I'm back on SB, I did so good for awhile and then messed up during the holidays and Dad being sick. I just need the wider varity of foods over Atkins plan.

Laura same here, got alot more lbs to take off since the holidays. Yup your right we'll all do it. This time I'm staying right on plan and hope to be to goal by May. Last year I kept saying next month next month and then mad at myself when summer got here.

Pat how did the start of your Yoga Challenge go today. Never did a cleanse, let me know how you do on it. How many days is it for?

[shelby'snana]

Me too Misty......by May I want to be DONE . That's my birthday and I would love to start maintaining by then........ 122-127 would be perfect

[Deb]

my birthday is July 4th
i would like goal again by then

Misty i wanted the red but they didnt have it
i got the black...BUT if i do see the red i am going to pick up another set

and use the black for the camper

i love them

OH YAAAAAAAAAA im 50 this year

[Grandma Jo]

I am so behind , I have been busy all weekend then fell this morning getting in the shower so home for a couple of days and just some streaching today and going to try yoga tomorrow. Doc said to keep moving just not to overdo it. Deb I will be 55 next month and I love that!! I could retire if I chose I like making the choices. I lost 2.4 lbs this week getting me back into the 170's and over 80 lbs lost. Laura it great to see you around and yes we can all do this! Ok I am going to start from here since I am way behind and just say Hi to all of you and I will try to be around more often. All alone tonight DH took the boys to Timmins for here braces so they won't be back until Wed. Very quiet here but I am enjoying it at the moment.

[misty1028]

Jo hope you heal up fast. I love my quiet time. DH has a fire department meeting every Tuesday night and that's my me time. I love it.

[shelby'snana]

Hey Grandma Jo !! Sorry you fell, hope you rest up and don't overdo it........glad your Dr. said to rest a few days. Come visit often !! You still pole walking ?

[Deb]

yikes Jo...hope your ok

i have a big fear of falling..but so far i just fell UP the stairs twice since living here..

ya all them stairs and i fell UP

[Grandma Jo]

Thanks Misty, Laura and Deb I will be fine just lots of brusies. Actually didn't see some of them but had a bath and yikes looks like I was in a fight ..*LOL* Oh well they will heal and Deb slipping or falling is the one thing I am afraid of as well. About 8 years ago I slipped off the step and broke my ankle, a year later I broke my arm. I am totally cluts so I am pretty careful. Normally I only shower at night since I have to be at work at 7 am but last night we had company and I was lazy but we had a campfire in the bush in the afternoon. So I decided I would get up early and shower today, except I overslept and was rushing...oh well nothing a little tylenol won't fit and my eating is perfect! Deb I could fall going upstairs in fact I am just a falling fool. Laura I am still pole walking just with snowshoes on my feet these days and loving it! Also doing alot of yoga, well not today.Misty I hear you on the Tuesday night Me time! Our inlaws also moved up around a year ago and have not been able to find housing so have been living with us. So normally 6 of us and they are out on vacation so one but me...priceless!! Well me and 3 dogs..
