OK TEAM here we go. YES, the might evil MIZZ MUSHIE stayed the night. I was up sick all night with major gastrenteritis.

Toby is at peace.He did go easily. It was pretty sad for us humans. The horses were calling to each other all morning long. You can't tell me they don't know something if wrong. They stopped when he was led out of the pasture.

Jodi arranged for him t be buried on a friend's farm by a big old Oak. Good place.

SO, I mowed and picked and Carl is picking away and cleaning water troughs. The berries are picked for tomorrow's orders and I only need some for Monday. All caught up.

Rain is needed and we had a little yesterday. Need more to keep the crop going.

KAthy, I am happy all is now normal in your life and peace is with you and Chris.

TY CHRISSI as usual. heading to shower.

LISA.. KATHY is 1000% on target with her advice.

Barb~~ now when those stable periods come youwill not go have a pity party! Is is so much easier when we understand what is going on in our bodies. It really all makes perfect sense.
Did you read those articles I had posted? They help a lot.
See y'all later

No change for me today. Hoping this new game allows me to have some losses!

CRICKET - you certainly did have a visit from Miss Mushie. I really hope her good sister can visit you tonight!!!!!!!

LISA - great loss!!!!! Congrats!!!!

So far, we are doing so well. Kathy and Sunny - I hope you all can climb on the slide with Barb, Lisa, Chrissie and Himadri!!!!!

I am super super tired for some reason and it is only 6:16 pm. I have to stay awake for another 2 hrs at least or I will fall asleep and end up waking WAY too early. You all have a great night!!!!!

Great loss, KATHY! Again, with the stress of last week over, you can now get back into a normal routine which will make a difference in your weight loss.

CRICKET: I wish you could take some of our rain! For the past 4-5 weeks, we have had rain every day except for maybe 3-4 days. We've had major downpours, high winds, and downed trees probably at least once a week since mid-May. It's been a terrible summer here so far.

It sounds like you have a successful business there at your farm with your horses and the berries. But with a business, you also have the pressure of customers, getting your orders filled and uncooperative weather. I was never one that could handle the heat unless I was swimming or in air conditioning, so I can't even imagine how you deal with it. I do know that heat causes me major swelling and fluid retention Good luck in the morning with getting your orders filled and I hope you can do it while the weather is still cool.

I'm not sure what tomorrow will bring with my weight, but you won't hear me complaining if I stall or have a gain. Your articles and guidance here has helped me to learn so much.

Glad to hear that things went okay with Toby and that he is finally at peace and pain free!

JODI: Glad to hear you had a loss today. I know the last couple of days have been busy and stressful for you.

PAULETTE: I saw your pictures on the old thread and you have done fantastic! You have given me renewed determination that you don't have to hurry to get to goal. You can see the positive progress in each of your pictures.

My sweet mother is supportive of my WOE, but really doesn't understand the carb concept and what I can and can't eat. She asked me the other day if I lost any weight yet...which made me feel a little bad, but she sees me almost every day and the loss has been somewhat gradual. Also, I've been wearing mostly the same work clothes. They just aren't as tight. I haven't figured out how to get a picture on my computer yet but, hopefully, will figure it out at some point.

CHRISSIE, LISA and HIMADRI: Congrats on your losses! We have a good start to the game so far.
