In our prayers. God bless him and your family.

Thank you disney11fan. Prayers are always appreciated. They do help me survive without my sweetheart.

I did lose weight this week. I was so surprised. I lost 3.4 pounds! I don't usually lose more than one pound at the most. So I was really happy. I am now down 42.4 pounds since October. I hope to lose another 8 pounds by May. That is when we have our family dinner with all my cousins. That will be 50 pounds. I hope to lose another 20 after that. We'll see how it works out. I know soon I will hit that plateau and that will be very frustrating. But I will keep at it.

Today I babysat for Zoey. I got to get a hug from Chuck before he left. Jesse was still playing in the basement so I got to play peek a boo with Zoey for a while. She had a big smile on her face.

Jesse heard my voice and came up from the basement and gave me a big hug and asked me to come and play with him. But he had leave for his soccer lesson.

After they left Zoey and I played on the floor with her toys. We did that until my back complained and I put her on the couch with me with her toys. She started crying around 9:30. I checked her diaper but she was still dry. WHEW! Dodged a bullet there. I finally gave her her bottle. Well, she just sucked that down in minutes. She can hold her own bottle now. It's so cute. She didn't want to let go of the bottle and wanted more. I didn't want her to suck in air, so I got it away from her. I held her and rubbed her back until she burped. She started to rub her eyes, so I knew it was her nap time. I put her to bed. She cried a bit, but then settled down. I watched tv until Karen came home.

Jesse had been too cold to want to play. By the time he had warmed up, the game was over. LOL Maybe next week. It really was cold. It was just barely freezing when they left. But when he came home, the first thing he said was, "will you play with me Grandmom?" Of course I will.

We played basketball, we colored, and we played with the trains. By that time, I was tired and it was lunch time. He didn't want me to leave. I told him I had to eat lunch and take a nap. He wanted me to come back and play with him after my nap. AWWWWWWWW Just melts my heart.

When we got back upstairs, he told his mom that it was my bedtime, so I had to go home. LOL Karen got a kick out of that.

I got home around 12 and had my lunch and a nap. This afternoon I did nothing but veg and watch tv. I'm getting lazy in my old age. But I sure did have fun this morning.

Angel, congrats on the weight loss, that is an awesome accomplishment!

I love how you love your grandchilden, and the fact that they love you so much in return say a lot about you! You are a very special lady

I just got home and I'm feeling wiped out, so I hope you don't mind if this is a "short visit". I'll be back tomorrow!

by the way, what's up with the weather? Why is winter back??????????????

 

[Angelrose]

Thanks snappyd. I felt like such a whale in September at our family dinner. That was my push. I feel really good about myself now. The WW journey is one that I enjoy and really enjoy the meetings. They give me the strength to keep on with it.

My grandkids are the light of my life. I so enjoy being with them. I can't wait until Zoey is old enough to really understand things. I wonder how she will react to the characters at DW next year. Jesse was two the first time and he loved them, but Zoey will only be a year and a half. We will see how that works out.

 

[snapppyd]

Just dropping in to say hello and see how you are today! What miserable weather! Just when you think spring is here, more cold and rain. It's kind of depressing!

I can't wait til it's time to plant some flowers and put up my hummingbird feeders - they usually start to arrive the last weekend of April!

 

[Angelrose]

Hi snappyd. Nice to see you again.

I'm not doing anything special. I've been cooking and baking a lot lately. Everyone seems to love what I make so that makes me feel good.

Last week I was down .8. So now I am down 43 pounds. I hope I lost something this week. I don't have a scale at home. I have this "thing" about weighing myself. I absolutely can't do it. I guess I'm afraid of what I'll see. So they only way I know is when I HAVE to get weighed in at the meetings. Even then I'm holding my breath that I have lost something.

Well, you all know that I am strange.

I was watching Dancing with the Stars and some of those personal stories made me cry. Then I thought of how I lost my Ron and then I really sobbed. I still miss him so much. The ache never really goes away. You just learn to deal with it. So many of my friends have told me the same thing.

The only thing I have to look forward to is my son and his family. They are my bright star. Funny how one hug from Jesse and him yelling GRANDMOM, just makes my whole week.

Did you see Maks fall last night, I was so scared! Can't wait for the results show tonight, just 20 more minutes!

So funny you answered just now, I'm talking to my sister on Facebook at the same time. She lost her husband 2 1/2 years ago ( he was 67, she is 64 now) and her sons and grandchildren are her whole world too!

Ron would be proud of you losing all that weight!

 

[snapppyd]

I'll be back in the morning to compare notes on the show! Have a wonderful evening!! You should join us on the DWTS thread!!!

hope to see you there

 

[Angelrose]

Yes I did see him fall! I was scared also. I can't believe how he got up and danced after that. I hate to say it but I believe that it was her weight that caused him to hurt his muscle. That was an awful lot of strain to put on his thigh. Hopefully he will be fine tonight.

I do read the DWTS thread. I just haven't posted. I'll have to try and get up my nerve and start posting there.

We don't bite, LOL! Just join in, everyone is really nice and funny there.

I said the same thing, I really like Kirstie, but she is kind of heavy for him. She has lost so much weight and looks so good, I hope she sticks with it!

Robin is amazing with the pictures!

 

[Angelrose]

Hi again. I don't watch Idol but those pictures were hysterical. Robin has a real gift.

I did some shopping today. I got 4 pairs of pj's. I've gone from a size 2X to L. I got three pairs of crops, size 10! and 5 pairs of shorts, sizes 10 and one pair of 12. I am so happy.

I also got two PINK bath sheets and a face cloth and two sets of King micro fiber sheets on sale for $20 each.

I spent a lot of money but I really needed some new clothes. My old pj's won't stay up.

My ankle isn't speaking to me after all that walking so I will be going to bed early tonight for sure.

I'm glad it was Wendy that went home last night. I hope Maks will heal fast.

Wow, congrats on all the weight loss. Unfortunately, I think you are sending all those extra pounds to me. I have been on a pasta and beer binge lately - not a good thing with summer right around the corner

Hope your ankle feels better tomorrow!

Angelrose - congrats on the continued weight loss. You are obviously sticking with the program. Tracking - I should say NOT tracking - is my downfall. If I write it down, I do so much better.

Sounds like you had some fun "retail therapy"! (that's what we call it in my family!)

 

[Angelrose]

Hi Julie. Well, the .8 that I lost last week, I found this week. I don't know why because I have been good. Oh well, hope for better news next week.

Yes I did have so much fun with retail therapy. LOL It was such a big boost to try on XL and have it be too big! But I will have to try and exercise a bit more. Don't like gaining what I've lost. I know when I get the pool open I will be able to lose more weight. I'm in that pool for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. It's so great because nothing hurts when I swim.

My ankle does feel much better today snappyd. I was looking for my anti inflammatory and found some old pain pills. When I say old, I mean like from 2003 Might be time to clean out the medicine cabinet. I did throw those pills in the trash.

Mary you are doing wonderful on your weight loss! I'm so happy for you. Sorry I haven't been around much. I've been run down and not on the computer much at all. But now that it is getting warmer I'm feeling better.

Even when I'm not on the boards I still think of you!

We have a foster dog named Zoe. She's an adorable little thing! I want to adopt her but we have too many. When I read about your Zoey I think of my Zoe.

Hugs and Love to you!

Checking back in...

 

[Angelrose]

Hi there Michelle. Glad you are feeling better. I think of you often too.

I get to babysit for half a day on Good Friday and then all day on Easter Monday. I'm looking forward to that. Although I'm also a bit worried. It's going to be hard keeping both kids happy and entertained.

I had car trouble again on Saturday. There was steam coming out from under the hood. Chuck met me at the garage and looked and found where a hose had come off the T in the back near the dash.

I got my car back today it was was only $125. The T had cracked and broken off and that was why the hose came off. They fixed it so nicely.

I got most of the leaves out of the pool cover this morning and most of the water. After the next rain I will put in some algeacide (sp?) so it won't stink when they take the cover off in June. I am really looking forward to swimming again.

Hopefully I will start to lose weight again when I can swim. I seem to have hit that plateau. We will see what happens this Thursday at weigh in.
