I may need to be excused from this week's game. Bob's dad passed away last night and we are trying to get things in order to leave for NJ tomorrow. The funeral probably won't be until Wednesday or Thursday so we are going to try to take the rest of the week to spend with his mom. Unfortunately, she doesn't have the internet which is going to make it tough, especially with everything going on at work right now. However, it will just have to wait until I get back....like we used to before we had computers and the internet.

Although it is difficult, we are at peace. He was a healthy "almost 97 year old" who just wore out. He didn't seem to be in any pain and that is a blessing...and he died at home which is where he wanted to be,. It just seemed a little bit of a shock to me that it happened this quickly as he just spend Thanksgiving at my BIL's two weeks ago and seemed to be doing well.

Good luck to everyone this week and I'll check in if I can. If you don't hear from me, I'll probably be back late Sunday.

BARB~~ I AM SO SORRY for Bob's and your loss. I think he chose his own time and went when ready. it was a blessing . Of course you are o LOA until you return to a place when you can think straight! We are here and your line will remian the same until you change it. Be well.Travel safely.

Got home from the party and it was nice. No music but Carld did get 2 door prizes..a toaster oven with a gift card " up to $100" from a nice restaruante.. will have to find out the amount FIRST before we order or even go! I would like to just give the toaster oven to Jodi for when she has a place to use it! Mine is only one year old. ANd the TOOL MAN won a battery powered drill..quick change RYOBI thing so he is happy.. like giving an Eskamo ICE! As for foods.. all salty sodium enriched. I DID have veggies.. string beans and carrots and I do not regret that all. ALso something they called chocken parm.. did not see the cheese but the sauce was there someplace. I DID have one o f the small dinner rolls and faux butter spread. Yes, I blew dessert too and while I was at it I had half of a small rum and diet cola.. not as good as I remembered so I had a few sips and carl got the rest. Now I sit here with my TEA and cream and took all my pills I forgot about in the morning.
AND here is some good things.. I had A NSV big time. While I am holding onto steroid water and built some muscles as steroids atre bound to do, My old 6's were baggy and the top I bought last year when skinny and is size petite small fit me!!! arms and all like last year! My fat is still there in the legs and hips are not bony as they were, but I still looked darned good FELT great and hair managed to keep a shape if not curl
all in all a good night, and now back on track again. Have to get up to feed the herd for Jodi and then later go get her at work.. she is having her truck worked on so I am the taxi. Not keen on going into a place with barbed razor wire all over the fence and rifles pointed at gates!
Have a nice nite, sleep peacefully and be well.
To the Mommy of the brilliant typing SNOWY.. I hope you are less bloated feeling soon. Keep those tootsies elevated and relax.

HIMI>>> the more I read on bunny breeding and the number of htuches calr will have to build, the more I am leaning on getting a couple of sweet pet bunnies and back to CHICKENS!
Do you TATOO your rabbits?

Good morning Ladies!!

Himi congratulations on winning the last game! Whoo hoo! Yippee! Way to go! So glad you got a good deal on the hay.

Tam i'm so proud and in awe of you going through all that you're going through and still staying on plan! Hugs to you!

Chrissie i'm so glad you enjoyed the choir.

Barb i'm so sorry to hear about your FIL. Prayers, peace and blessings to you and your family.

Paulette i'm sending whooshie wishes your way! I hope you can show a loss today to start the game off right!

Cricket i'm glad you had a good time at your party. Congrats to Carl for "winning" lol

I'm doing another 16 hour shift tonight so I can be off until Friday and go to Chris' sons poly hockey practice tonight.
Have a great Monday everyone!!

Finally! Down 3.4 lbs!!!!!

KATHY - your wishes for me came true and I DID have a big whoosh today!!! Thank you for the plea to Miss Whooshie! Have fun at the hockey game!

BARB - I am so sorry for your loss!!! Take care of yourself and Bob. Spend quality time with your families. Your FIL had a very long life and was obviously loved and well taken care of.

CRICKET - Sounds like you had a great time last night at the party! Even though you were not able to dance your feet off. You should have worn the black pumps! I hope the carbs do not wreak havoc on you today.

HIMI - congrats on the BIG loss and taking control of the game!!!!! I hope this week is just as awesome for you!
(I laughed at "protective watery cushion"!)

TAM - Hello! It sounds like you have really taken control of the situation!!!! You Aunt is very lucky to have you! You are strong and determined in all you do. Bless your heart!

CHRISSIE - I hope you can start this week with a nice loss yourself! You had an excellent week last week and deserve to win it this week! You are closing in on your 10 lb stretch....

-------------
I am constipated. My Milk of Magnesia did not do a very good job the other day, and I really hate having to take it again, but I must. I am kind of uncomfortable. I am considering buying a fiber thing, or Metamucil or something. If any of you have a suggestion, I am wide open. I need to get the old innards moving!

It is STILL raining here. I swear this is the most rain I've seen all year. If it were normal December temps here we would be seeing a blizzard! But it is still in the 40's. How weird!

I still have about $50 left to buy Christmas presents with, so I am going to check out the local Shopko flyer and go shopping later today. The Cats and the Dog 9ghvaq --------- SNOWY JUST TYPED THAT ------------ have their gifts already. I think Snowy just asked for something but maybe he was simply cursing at the thought of me buying the dog a gift...

You guys all have a great day! Take care and I hope you can all see a loss!

LMAO!!!!!!

GOOD afternoon.. where did the morning go!??? DOING the Cricket Cop out.. DITTO on the commnets so far!

HIMI.. winner's curse is upon you LOL.. just the replacemtn flux.

Paulettiecus~~ YEA!!!! quite the whoosh.... PULEESE just get a bottle of MANESUIN TABLETS and take them daily. It is not a laxative until you take several but is good for for. Itake 2-3 and the stool softener daily to keep things happy. even with the major constipating medication it works. If no poop in a day take an extra the next. M.O.M. is the same thing but costs more! Never have found the fiber to be effective as we need it to be. Just IMHO.... I think SNOWY wants his own typewriter now time to get his account here so he can come on board. remember ACE? TAMMY'S puupy??

My carb tolerance is high. It is my PROTEIN tolerance that sends me ut of ketosis. That was proven by lat night foods and drink. I am still in ketosis. Swollen like a derigible/Helium filled blimp over the football stadium and beach! and the scale is OMG up 5.4 overnight!!! now that is a personal record OMG.. I also had ham when I got home and and 3 ounces jsut now for brunch with tea/hc.. It is only water and will fall away.
Need to take my pills!!! So how I am in ketosis is a minor miricle and I will take it. I am in a good place and postive mood. Will be doing more sorting and tossing and cleaning of this place. It will get there.
Have a lot and Carl is ahppy about schlepping it over there!
So happy to be able to move again!

Did do the herd this morning and got Jodi.It rained here and stopped so maybe this is all of it? I can only hope. At least I got to put Cookies' rain gear on her.. no, she does not have rubber fisherman boots or hat LOL... the horses have nothing. they ahve only very heavy blankets.Cookie is an only spoiled fashon finesta!
BBL to do the chart!

Hi Cricky. I am going to take a bit more MOM. I really should take Mag pills, but I HATE the thought of taking MORE pills! I swallow far too many every morning. Ug. But I looked at my multi vit/min label and the mag level is very low. I then updated my nutrition tracker to include mag and I am getting hardly any from my foods! I WILL need to supplement.

Funny - I never had constipation issues before. Just recently. There would be a few days of no poop, but the MOM usually fixed that pronto. But lately I have had hard poos and they will not come out. The MOM seemed to help a very minor bit, but I still feel plugged. That is why I was considering adding a fiber????

I did some research on fiber, and many swear by it, BUT many do NOT.

I bet the surgery had a lot to do with this. If I could clean myself out, I bet I would be back to normal. But I have an even more intense surgery to look forward to. I would like to be prepared for it. I will buy some mag tabs and start taking those. Maybe they will help keep this at bay through the next couple months...

I'm sorry you had a weight gain, but at least you are still in ketosis. I hope it floods away soon!!

went straight from work to the mall with zac......got back about 10pm. ugh i'm not a fan of any kind of shopping ('cept furniture!), so i'm very glad it is over

HIMI......winner's curse is right! it'll pass

CRICKET......i'd love to see cookie dressed up like the gorton's fisherman!
5.4 in one night? i didn't even know that was possible (the way we eat).

PAULETTE.....you could go have one of those cleanses done! complete evacuation with buff & polish

shout out to all who haven't posted yet
i hope your scales played nice today

peace out

Where did everyone go yesterday???

I am down .2 today No more whooshes, but that doesn't mean I can't do it tomorrow or the next day. I am still up by a LOT!!!!

CHRISSIE - Aren't you happy to have that shopping done! I am not a shopper either, and never did get to go out and spend my last $50. But I do plan to do it today. My local Shopko sent me a coupon for $10 off a purchase of $50 or more! It will be like getting a $10 gift for myself for FREE! Good thing I waited a day!!!! I hope you can see a loss today and get off that Mable Mobile.

CRICKET - Unlike Chrissie's disbelief, I KNOW it is possible to gain over 5 lbs in a day!!!! When the body decides to hold on to it's fluids, it REALLY HOLDS ON!!!!!! So like I said last night, I hope it floods away soon! But if you are like me, it will take days and days. ----- Oh, my 2nd dose of MOM really did the trick last night - too well. Now I am just losing fluids! I am surprised I only had a .2 loss for the day because of it. So I must work to stay hydrated now. Magnesium is a potent element...

HIMI - I am hoping your whoosh is coming today, too! We all need her support right now!

KATHY - I know you are a busy bee and I send whooshie wishes your way.

BARB - I hope all is well with you and your family. Such a sad thing to happen during the holiday season. May you all find some peace.

TAM - How are things going with your Aunt? I wish you luck and sure hope she decides to come live with you! You are her guardian angel.

--------------

I just remembered that this is the time of year when my Coupon Mailer client always sends me a big box of cookies and chocolates I am NOT looking forward to it because they are all painstakingly home-made. They mean well, but it is a heartbreaking thing to recieve!!!!!! Last year I started crying because the temptation was SO STRONG. But I got over it and gave the whole box to Ed, telling him to keep it out of sight. I HOPE THEY DO NOT SEND ME ONE THIS YEAR!!!!! But if they do, I will acknowledge it gracefully and give Ed the box. I will NOT give in to the temptation of Christmas Cookies!!! My poor body is all confused and on a very tippy balance. If I cheat - I will crumble into oblivion. Because I have the well-known habit of NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP. If I taste ONE bite, that will be my downfall! I will sit and eat the ENTIRE BOX of treats and I KNOW IT. I must steel myself for the battle NOW. Please help be my supportive JUST SAY NO TO COOKIES Warriors!!! I need all your support!!!
