My neighbor left for California at about midnight. He drives pretty much straight through twice a year from Washington to California to spend time with his elderly mother. I normally wake up when he leaves for work at 5:00 so didn't have my wake up call this morning. I awoke at about 5 to 5 so my body is still used to being up at that time. It has continued to rain but then we need the moisture so I'm not complaining by any means. Mr. Scale showed me the same weight as last week so at least I'm not gaining with eating an extra protein after my morning workout. Here's to a good Friday and on into the weekend. Betti

Well today will be an off day and no I don't mean off the plan. Last night they were calling for rain and high winds. I had a hard time falling asleep and hadn't been asleep very long when the power went off. No big deal you say but I have freezer and fridge full of food. I'm not sure what time it went off exactly but I'm guessing it was off for about 3 hours or so. I got up and checked things and everything seemed OK. Now my schedule is off some due to missing some sleep. It's still raining and there are still areas with power outages. Have a great day everyone. Betti

I went to Walgreens yesterday to pick up a couple of prescriptions. While waiting for the one I didn't know about I was wandering around the store. This lady and I got talking about the holidays. They had more stuff out for Christmas than Thanksgiving. Granted it's a small store but as I was looking at cards we were saying how Christmas is getting earlier and earlier every year. I decided to buy a box of cards rather than making them on my computer with a program I bought several years ago. My printer needs ink and right now the black one still works but the colored one is out so I just bought some "store-bought" ones. Here's to a great "hump day", enjoy it. Betti

Even though it was pouring rain yesterday the guys who mow the grass and other things were out doing their thing. At least they weren't blowing leaves from one side of the parking lot to the other, I imagine they were too wet to move (*). It has rained again most of the night and still is as I write this. I have to run an errand later to pick up a prescription and yes I need to do it today as I took the last one this morning. Here's to a good Tuesday wherever you are and whatever your weather is doing. I'm off to breakfast and then my workout with Leslie and her girlfriends. Betti

Well, it seems "Mother Nature" can't make up her mind in regards to our weather. It's supposed to be a little warmer this week but it's going to be wet and windy for at least the next week. I guess I shouldn't complain as next month it will be officially winter and who knows what that'll bring. Here's to a good Monday everyone. Betti

It's time for some changes that I hope will jumpstart my weight loss. Last week I had an ounce of protein after my workout and it took care of my hungry feeling afterwards. Now this week I'll add the hot freshly squeezed lemonade and see what it does. I'm almost beginning to wonder, if after almost 2 years on NS foods that my body is rebelling in some small ways. Don't get me wrong I love the food (most of it anyway) but perhaps it's time for me to step back and do some soul-searching and shock my body some. I still have a little over 10# to reach my final goal and that's probably part of my problem. I'll call and talk with someone this week and see what they say about my situation. Here's to a great week and yes November will be half over at midnight. Betti

In looking out my window when I got up it doesn't look like any snow mixed with the rain last night, at least not at my place. I've got egg on my face however. Most nights I open my bedroom window a crack for fresh air and then close it in the morning. Well, this morning I went to close it and with the little bit of rain we had it froze. I'll just have to wait until later so I can close it (it's happened in the past), and I wasn't surprised as the forecast was for temps. below freezing last night. Now I'm off to breakfast and then my weekly grocery shopping. I have to remember to buy some lemons and try some freshly squeezed lemonade and see how it affects my weight loss like someone recommended. Here's to a great Saturday, my your favorite football team win. Betti

Tis Friday the 13th, just another day to me. I hear the rain pelting my bedroom window and the wind blowing so I'll just hunker down and do some more reading. They said yesterday we may see some light snow mixed with rain tonight, we shall see I guess. Here's to a great Friday, no matter where you are or no matter what you're doing. Betti

I wish the rain would go away for a little while. It makes it difficult to get outside and do anything. The winds have been blowing pretty good at times, too. My exercise bike is really putting on the miles as is my body. I ride it 3 days a week for an hour each day and am getting in 14+ miles. I get some serious thinking done while I pedal away and it helps pass the time. Here's to a great Thursday everyone. Betti

Veterans' Day wishes to all past and present service men and women. Also to those having loved ones currently serving. I served in the US Army WAC at the tail end of the Vietnam era and was very proud to do so, thanks again. Betti

I have a new motto--onward and downward I shall go. I will call a counselor sometime this week and see what they say if my scale isn't kind to me again. Here's to a wonderful Tuesday. We're having rain and high winds once again, but hey it's autumn in western Washington. Betti
