November 1st...D_Day..Want to join me?

Belle: I graduated from Rio Vista - where are you located?

 

This thread will survive! you are right, we can't let it dwindle! Carol

[Belle]

I gained on the cruise, got a few pounds off

and then went out to dinner tonight. Ate to

MUCH! Will I ever learn? Back to being good.

 

Rio Vista off of Hi 12. We go thru there to

visit friends in Lodi. My girlfriend I've known

all my life from Southern Calif. I was 4, she was 5.

We both moved up north when we married.

 

 

Carol I live in Sonoma County. Went to school in

So. Calif.

 

Sheila, Jan, Carolyn..How are you?

 

Everyone have a good week.

[cctn]

You'll be ok Belle - take your time re: the weight loss.

I find that when I am not thinking about dieting, I am fine. I will just concentrate on eating a small amt and then go on to other things. It's very frustrating. I haven't lost an oz but I haven't really gained either. I have probably lost 1/2 dress size in the past 4 months. I look at it this way, better than gaining 1/2 dress size! ha!ha! My major problem, of course it's my entire body, but my midriff bulge is bulging!

I go out a lot also. Last week I went out 3 times with friends and then breakfast out with hubby yesterday.

Sonoma is pretty - haven't been there in over 10 yrs.

I love Rio Vista and the Delta, Lodi, etc... of course, now that I do not live in Isleton, I appreciate it more.

Take care - Hello to everyone on this thread. Have a good week.

Carol

[Belle]

No one talking besides Carol and Me!

 

Carol I did get the cruise gain off but

have much more to lose. Hope this

isn't my usual set point. Seems like my

set point goes "5 lbs" higher each time

and I stay there forever. Hate it?

 

Hope this thread/post whatever you

want to call it..isn't dying for good.

Would miss you all/miss you now!

 

Come Back Everyone!

[cctn]

Belle: you are most welcome to come to my CA thread too - we always welcome newbies... we talk about everything!

this thread won't go away - I am sure Jan and Sheila will be by real soon...

but please come on and chat with us on the CA thread - just follow my trail and click on my signature, first link............. carol

[Jan_In_Maine]

I really am around and don't want this thread to die either. It is the one place that I still come back to.

 

Carolyn - Hope you are doing ok - did you get tests run? What did your son end up doing during the summer?

 

Corkey - took me awhile to realize that CA thread meant the state - thought I was missing something there!

 

Belle - how much more do you want to lose? Glad you had a good time on your cruise.

 

I haven't been to the gym in two weeks and I'm gaining weight. Not sure what is going on. I am 57 and (don't laugh) --- I'm finding that I'm not as smart as I used to be, and I'm noticing the aging process. Because I come from a family that has early Alzheimer's I'm contemplating having some genetic testing done ... don't know if I want to know though ... not a good feeling. I've got to get ahold of my DS (she's 7 years older) and talk with her about this ... I'm not remembering the way I used to. Could just be becouse I'm 57. This is really weighing on my mind.

 

Have a good day all, I'll try to be better about posting. Jan

[cctn]

Jan: I think we folks over 55 tend to be forgetful - but it's a smart move to be tested if you are concerned. They seem to have meds, or that's what I thought the ad's were about on television, to help.

You and everyone are most welcome to join me in my Cruisers From CA thread - you don't have to be from CA, you just have to be my friend! and you all are! just click on my link below.

Have a good Thurs - one more day of the week and then it's the weekend! Carol

[cctn]

Hi Everyone! Hope you are all having a good Monday - it's over cast here and a bit chilly - I guess it's better than having 100 degree temps ! Carol

[Belle]

It's rainy and windy here.

Want those "hot" temps of

Mexico back! lol

 

Where is everyone? How's your

Diet/woe going? Exercise? Water?

 

Doing good on diet but not losing,

hope I'm losing inches. Need more

exercise!

 

Please come in and talk ALL OF YOU!

I am here!! I am guilty! I ate a drumstick ice cream today - then one cookie, shortbread with one end dipped in choc and fried chicken for dinner - yikes! carol

In case anyone needs to email me, let me give it to you - sometimes my CC doesn't work and I have often emailed others instead:

Hi to you too - hang in there! carol

[cctn]

I already know I will be bad tomorrow as we are going to hubby's cousin's for a pot luck - I made a chocolate rum cake and I was already testing it! it's good!! and I will also make a chicken enchilada casserole and jambalaya.. the enchilada casserole is a 35 yr old recipe and still going strong - let me know if you guys want it. I know that the others will be bringing some delicious dishes too- oh well, I guess I will have to make up for it during the week. carol

[Jan_In_Maine]

Carol - I'd love to have the recipe - Jan

[cctn]

Carol - I'd love to have the recipe - Jan

 

 

My hubby's cousin loved the enchilada casserole and asked for the recipe too -

please email me so I can send it

c a r f i e l d t n e p o @ c o m c a s t dot net

[Belle]

Sorry I haven't posted much.

Sometimes "life" gets in the way

of my computer time. Then other

times I just don't feel like "talking"!

 

Been being good and I'm just staying the same.

So being 'stupid" ate to much today!

What else is new? lol Really need to exercise.

 

Jan..How's it going? Working hard? You'll get

with it soon. It's hard sometimes, I know.

WE know what we want to do..plan to do it...

then we don't! Do you still go to the gym?

 

Carol..Your food sound so good! Low cal..fat ect? lol

Chocolate and enchiladas..love them both.

Do you exercise each day? If so what's your secret

for doing it?

 

I hope everyone else that use to come here are

doing alright. I miss them.

[Jan_In_Maine]

Carol - I sent a quick e-mail a few minutes ago.

 

Belle - I think we are both at the same spot. I'm meeting with my trainer once per week ... I keep telling her that I don't want to be there and I have no "umph" to exercise, but I push myself to go ... it's at least a little bit better than not exercising at all. I have not weighed myself and I know I will cry when I get on the scale ... but I'm tired! Hopefully within a month I'll get motivated again. Jan

[cctn]

Got it Jan - I have to revise the recipe a little bit then I'll send it off.... carol

Sent it off - if you don't understand some of my instructions, please let me know. carol

[Belle]

Covers whenever you read this!

Pretty sure Jan and Carol will come in, hope others do to.

 

How how is everyone doing? Not much talking here.

Know I'm at fault here to. Busy with my mother and everything.

 

Did I tell you I'm going on another cruise. I know I

just got back from one. I'm lucky! Going to Hawaii rt from La

on Princess. Our Anniversary. WE have never gone on this

many cruises in one year. Think it's because we don't know what

will be happening with my mother and us.

 

One thing that will be..we will be happy but broke! LOL

 

Everyone have a good week, hope someone/everyone

comes in and talks.

Well good for you!! aloha!

my friends from another thread are leaving manana - when are you leaving?

also on Princess - San Pedro to the islands.

I leave Nov 3 but it's a land trip to Honolulu - I can't wait. I love Hawaii and it's my most favorite place to visit. I love cruises too but destination wise, it's hawaii.... carol

[Jan_In_Maine]

Carol - thanks for the recipe it looks yummy!!!

 

Carol & Belle I want to go to Hawaii ... actually I'd like to go anywhere warm right now!

 

Belle when is your newest cruise? I know what you mean about being broke but happy!!! I really should be saving some of my money for retirement ... but I like cruising!

 

Belle how many years is your anniversary?

 

I need to get back on the band wagon about dieting ... but there seems to be so many different "things" coming up here ... kids, siblings, parent, DH .... I feel as if I'm being pulled in so many different directions right now.

 

I will go to the gym today and meet the trainer. One day at a time. Jan

[cctn]

Lost a few ounces - had a bad cold this past week and haven't felt like eating a lot ... corkey
