What Can YOU Do Today, Saturday, January 28

Bee- you were wise enough to recognize the value of those insights. You, my dear, are wiser than you know! Dance the "dodge" step!

Ann- glad that you have a "date" for the repair. Am glad that you are surrounded by so many caring neighbors.

Susi- good to know that your gutters are clear. DH says that he is going to install wider gutters in the spring to deal w/ the occasional torrential rainfall. I just let him go...

Ann-- bee is right about you being patient.

I will be back later But first..



BEE I LOVED THAT .....IT WAS ALL SO SO TRUE...

Susi sorry your Son is sick. I hope he feels better.

Ann I bet you will be very happy getting your Dish washer back. I alwYs had one but now that it is just Trigger and I .i never use mine . When I worked I made paper plates and to this day I still use them and so Fries my whole family...hehe

LaDonna glad to here you are all stocked up on fruit and veggies.. I get so tired of the same fruit so I bought some Kiwi 🥝 for a change..Trigger made me Beef Roast , little potatoes, onions,and carrots for my lunch ...num num

Good Morning Friends
Susi, what a bad way to begin a Saturday morning and why could it not go off at a later time? Sorry your DS is sick but at least you have figured out what to do with the meal you planned.
Ann, we used to have a neighbor who could fix anything and it was such a blessing not to depend on a serviceman. My husband and son are very handy but can't do everything. I went on a protest when the light near where I sit was not working. Told DH I would not turn it on until it was fixed and after 10 days he took the hint and put in a new socket. There are lots of things I do not know how to do. Enjoy the dishwasher. I am glad you have it before your surgery as it will make it easier for Carl. Thinking of you as you make your preparations. I know it will all go well but the wait is hard until it is over and you are on your way to a full recovery.
Bee, thanks for beginning my day with your class. All are important things to remember.
June, you needed that rest. Hope your mom continues to improve and that you continue to feel better this weekend.
We are on our way to walk the dog, later than usual, and do our grocery shopping. I need to then get some other things for DD's birthday luncheon tomorrow. I finally journaled last night and it felt good. Weight went down .2. Don't know why it can go up a pound and take days to get off but that is how it is. KOKO today with water, grilled shrimp and red peppers for dinner and as much active walking as i can get. Just getting the house child proofed involves lots of steps. Hoping we all have a good day.

Naomi-- congrats on taking off those 6 lbs!  I think that yo- yoing is part of the maintenance phase. 

 Those last 5-10 lbs are different b/c the caloric deficit b/w what you can consume to lose or maintain is so much smaller.  So they can come back more easily.  Just hang in there.  if you are yo-young, it means that you only have to tweak a few things.

Bee - Sometime dessert just has to come first!
June - Happy to hear the sisters are keeping you up to date and not putting too much stress on you.
Naomi - I think maintenance is harder. It's sort of "now what?". You have no new weight goals to strive fore. You almost want to say "I'm here. So now I can go back to what I want." But you can't or wind up back at your starting point. DS is my sister. Neither she nor I ever had kids. :-( I did become a step grandmother for the 3rd time early this week. Unfortunately, they all live in England so I see them via FB and occasional Skype.
Pam - Glad DH is coming along. It's good you have family to hlepl
CO detector has a new battery and is tested and rehung.  Next up, change the batteries in the motion detector on the shed and battery in my scale.  Want to guess what was on my shopping list today?
