I won’t be around till this afternoon…Hubby has EGD test at hospital today.

Everyone take care!!!

It was cold here too. I got my shopping and errands done. Barely made it home before my hubby did.

Got my workout done and I've lost another pound!!!!! yahoooo!!!

not much planned...too cold to go outside!

everyone have a nice day!

Thanks! My MIL's best friend has offered to teach me if I had time. With each successive generation skills like sewing, knitting, crocheting seem to be learned by less and less people. I wonder how many young people today are learning these skills.

I hope everything turns out okay for your hubby.


It's nice when aging parents are having a good day.

Wish you were closer - I would teach you how to crochet!!!!

Well, doctor visit for hubby went well...he has an appointment for Thursday to get a scope put down to his tummy to see what they can find out...please keep us in your thoughts and prayers..

other than that...day is going well, took Daddy on some errands today - he is feeling good and that is always great!

I think a day off is great. Recharge the battery. LOL.

I always wished I had learned to crochet from my mom.

I hope everything turns out okay with your hubby!

Hello!

Sorry I was not here yesterday - I had me a lazy day and hardly sparked at all - I think I need to do that once in a great while! I actually got some crocheting done! haven't done that in years.

going with hubby to his doctor appointment today - we need some good thoughts - trying to find out what is wrong with his stomach

Today is sunny and warm and I am headed outside.

We cleaned pet cages, went shopping to buy my hubby some flannel jackets, and went for a walk.

Good morning!!!!

Got my workout in and am ready for my day. Will be grocery shopping today and cleaning house so I've got a full day ahead.

Hope everyone has a great Saturday

You too!!

Just doing a fly by

have a great Friday!!!

It's going to rain today and melt some of this snow. We are the only area locally that still has school closings. I'm ready to get outside!!!

I have seen these before!! I didn't know what they were. LOL.

here is a link to a photo of one (this is my previous one - I've actually broke two of them...I got the two year warranty on the newest one!)

Cool. I've never seen one. I have an exercise bike but it's huge.

a pedal exerciser is a small bike like piece of equipment...you sit in a regular chair and pedal, just like bike. takes up much less room than a regular stationary bike! I love them!!!!

It is in the mid thirties here now and I love it. LOL. Who would have thought that I would settle for temps like this making happy. Sure beats below zero temps. I'm certainly not set out to be a Canadian or Alaskan. I'm a weenie. We should get rid of more snow today. It still has not completely melted off the trees, I'm sick of it. We are getting winter mix but it is supposed to rain tomorrow.

What is a pedal exerciser?

I'm doing better with the exercise and eating. Still room for more improvement though.

uh oh - I'm talking to myself here!!! LOL

Good Morning everyone...I think I may be getting back into my old routine of when I wake up and workout and such...been hard to keep my routine since Christmas, but maybe I'm back in the groove. I got my workout done and am ready to face the day.

Everyone have a great day!

We finally warmed up today and got above freezing - big change from 28 below windchill!!!

I did my exercise as usual but I am so lost without my pedal exerciser...I'll be so glad when my new one gets here Friday!!!!

Hope everyone is having a great evening! hugs to all

It is above freezing here finally so the snow is melting off the trees at least. We are going to have winter mix tonight. I have cabin fever really bad!!

Not much happening around here today -- my morning meeting was cancelled due to the snow it will be nice to have an extra 3 hours to get ahead on a few things.

Sounds great with the doctor. I would love to be able to surprise mine.

We got really cold last night in the negative teens but it has warmed up here today to 18. I'm glad you took your dog inside.

Ok, we are starting to warm up slightly…it is 4 degrees outside…got down to 28 below last night…brought my dog inside for the first time since she was a puppy. (She actually likes cold weather and rarely uses her dog house, but she was in it when I brought her in) It kind of freaked her out, but she finally went to sleep. She was so good she didn’t even use the bathroom in the house (I had fully anticipated she would and had cleaning supplies at the ready)

Got my workout in today and I’ve also lost two pounds!!!!! I’m very happy about that!

Doctor visit went great for me!! He heaped praise after praise on me for my weight loss and still not smoking and all my blood numbers! It is so nice to go to a doctor and receive praise!!!!

my hubby however has to go to another doctor....he is having very bad stomach problems and our doctor can't figure it out so he is referring him to someone else...we will get the actual referral in a couple of days and know more then.


Still very cold here...supposed to be record lows tonight!

Too cold. Too much snow. LOL.

We thought the snow might miss us but it was late and it started snowing and still is. Hubby's work has already been canceled for tomorrow.

Everyone here is panicked over the weather. It will be -12 tonight and a high of -3 tomorrow. We have a winter storm warning here from midnight until 6 P.M. tomorrow. It is very windy. We are getting 6 to 11 inches of snow. My son lives 70 miles north east of us and he has blizzard warnings from 6 P.M. tonight until midnight tomorrow and can get up to 15 inches of snow. I hope we don't lose power.

Finally got caught up on the laundry and even got in a workout. Tomorrow will be spent watching my niece and nephews play basketball.

I've eaten really well the past 2 days.

I got caught up on a lot of things today but still have more to do - mostly paper work.

I have been in housework avoidance mode, so I have a lot to do today, plus multiple loads of laundry. Today and tomorrow are optional days at work - I should go in for at least a few hours, but I am avoiding that too.

I was hungry an hour after breakfast but didn't eat. I got sleepy in 2 hours but did my outdoor chores and it was so cold it woke me up.

already got my workout in this morning...just relaxing with my hubby and working on spark people


hope you have a nice day!!

I am doing laundry today and catching up on housework while trying to get some exercise in. We had a light snow so I may not be able to do a lot of exercise outside but will do it inside. Plus I am cutting back on calories and carbs.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!! I tracked every bite I ate the last two days so I can see what I need to cut back on. And I got in 2 long walks the past 2 days. My left knee is acting up again so I may have to break the walks up. Hate that but I have to be flexible.

Happy New Year!

Tomorrow it's time for everyone to get busy and make this a great 2014!

It was sunny today and got above freezing so we went for a long walk and played with the ice on the pond.

Terr, my Daddy is 78 and stubborn as an old mule!!! He did his own shopping before he got cancer and everyone knows him there...can't walk through the store without him stopping to hug all the workers....now they want to hug me too because I'm his daughter!!! LOL

It is nice to know that my Daddy is so well loved though!

I like senior discounts too. LOL. My hubby hates to shop anywhere and does as little as possible.

Made me laugh when you said you had to take your dad to his store. My dad is now 75 and has turned into a shopper- he follows sales and knows where every senior discount can be found. My husband, on the other hand, shops cabelas, cal ranch and sportsman's warehouse. His participation in weekly shopping is infrequent and under duress.

I have to go to lots of stores to get what we need too because none of them carry all the products we use.

We do it once a week!!! well, not Magic Mart and Roses...that was a special treat....but we go to three or 4 different grocery stores every week and the Dollar General store every week (we went Saturday this time to Dollar General because we knew we were going to Magic mart the next day) It takes going to all the different stores to get the best prices - we just start with the furthest one and stop at each one on the way home!

I have to go again tomorrow to take Daddy (he lives with us) to "his" store...he doesn't like any of the ones we go to - he goes on the other side of town (and the state line) to Food City!

My problem is that I hate to shop. I hate to go to town. I dread it and I put it off.

I always seem to put all my errands off as long as possible, then end up trying to do them all at once.

I use to do all my shopping and errands in one day and would go to 25 different places sometimes. Yesterday we went to Petco, Barnes and Noble, and Sam's and I was wasted. LOL.

Been a long day!!! We went shopping and went to 5 different stores...I'm beat!!!

Hope everyone has a good evening

I started this new thread as the old one was long.
