dear preds  and friends

Daughter called me around noon...and we went shopping.

We went to 2 thrift stores  but i didn't need any more clothes,or coffee cups...so bought nothing.

Then we went to a Big lots store....

they had a sale on Crystal Gyser  packs of 24 bottles of spring water...2 cases for$10.00...i bought 4 cases  plus 4 gallon bottles of  same brand spring water....

then when walking around my daughter told me she found Nonni's Biscotti!Ssooo many to chose from!

They had and i bought

Dark  chocolate pumpkin,(3boxes)

Turtle pecan(2)boxes

Pumkin spice(3)boxes

lemoni.

regular plain ones

salted?

They were only $3.49 each! They were cheaper than Walmart..or any other place...some cost over 8.00 each.. on other sites  ot stores!

I also bought a bag of dried pineapple  and 1 bag of dried banana chips.

Then we went to red Lobster...i'm not able to eat sea food,fish,etc...so i had a cheeseburger& fries...brought home 1/2 of my sandwich.

Daughter had salmon/shrimp dinner w/broccoli...she didn't get much on her plate to eat...other than the veggie! 

We were not impressed but we had a gift card to use!

By then it was raining..so we decided to come back to my house...then she left.

lubs ya!

Good Afternoon Y'all: Currently 66 windy and raining.

DH had early morning doctor appointment. I cheated an ate  a muffin to take some pain medicine before leaving the house. Dh report very good . He has loss 20 pounds since July and blood work very good. Only needed ear drops for what looked like the start of something.

DH has stopped eating sweets and only snacks on chips at night. He eats only one big meal at lunch and drinks coffee with only cream for the rest of the day. I am really proud of him.

So not fair. I am really struggling and only loss 5 pounds.

I woke up very sore and stiff. Our hall bathroom the walls still look bad after being painted over a year ago. Friend that cleaned my house wanted to use Mr. Clean scrubbing pads but she cleaned hard and afraid she would scrub the paint off but I decided yesterday to use the pads. The bathroom is small but bending over to get the bottom of the walls got my legs and lower back. Really made a difference in the look of the walls. Me not doing anything today.

We decided to eat before returning home. Went to a buffet place. I chose water, baked chicken,  baby lima beans and rutabagas. I know not low carb but other options were corn or potatoes. Only consumed one serving of each. Then enjoyed  a few small pieces of water melon that was very good.

What are y'all doing today?🤗🤗🤗☕☕☕

@SouthernBee 

I'm very proud of you🤗 on losing 5 pounds In the short amount of time  wow!

as it took me "forever" to lose the last 5 i wanted to lose!

You know  how i walked and walked and changed my diet  and it took me i bet 5-6 months!

It took me a year or more to lose 10 pounds...as my thyroid was messed up...was too low....i go Monday for another 3 month bloodwork at dr. office  and see N/A   on the the 18th.Wed

My lap desk was delivered today by Fedex....i liked it so much  i ordered my daughter one as a Christmas gift

Do you have a kindle?...if so will it work good on this foldable desk lap table???She is wanting a new one when they go on sale again.

lubs ya!

dear preds  and friends

Last night at 10 pm as i was getting ready for bed...lightning,thunder ,and heavy rain started  and ended early morning?? 

I couldn't sleep  as i was remembering how i used to comfort my small dog Shadow  when he heard thunder...sigh i still miss him so much.

I am getting my microfiber warm sheets washed up today...2 sets plus a few other items..i have washed 3 loads today of different items   and i'm done.!!..i walked up/down those basement steps so many times!

I was so happy when i heard  on east side of basement floor -

my sewer '"ejector  sewer pump working this morning...as i thought it had stopped working  and was getting stressed  as last one cost me $360.00 6years ago!

My other sump i can't hear it working after all that rain last night...but it must be as i have a dry basement on west side of room in basement.

Now a sunny 64 degrees  this afternoon...don't know if its still too wet to have yard mowed today...i hope it is..

.i'm tired of having to pay  and want season to end!

need to take 2d set of sheets outof dryer and take  more clothes out of washer & put into dryer....i'm so  wanting it done !

lubs ya!

@geezerette : Thank you. I was surprised with DH report but relieved because he needed to do something. If it works for him and he can do it. Previously every other night while watching tv - consumed a bag of cookies and chips. He used to put about 7 teaspoons of sugar and 3 creamers in his coffee.

I used to put 2 teaspoons of sugar and two creamers and struggling to do just one of each.

But it's working because you've already lost five pounds!  That's a lot.  Like @cowboy sam , it's taking me forever to lose five pounds.  I lose, then gain it back.

Keep at it and don't be tempted to go back to the 2.  If you absolutely have to have something sweeter, eat or drink something else sweet instead on occasion.  After a while one of each will become normal for you.  Cheating on occasions is okay, but it's really hard to go back if you start cheating on routine things you have every day.  It sure is for me.

You're doing great.  Slow and steady wins the race.  You're more apt to keep it off if you take it off slowly.👍
