My Saturday WI ☺

18 years ago

I'm doing the happy dance. I went to my WW weigh in and lost 5#'s this week! I've been drinking so much water, I figure I pee'd the weight off. âº I am losing an average 2.6 pounds per week, so if this keeps off, I'll drop the weight I'm hoping to lose by Christmas and all of it by the end of February! Woohoo! Wish me luck!!! It's not as hard as I thought it would be.

DH and I are going out for supper soon. I figure it'll give me a whole week to lose what I might gain. Not counting points today.

Wow, that's great! Keep up the good work!

I need to get back on a diet now that my Hypothyroidism is getting under control. It was impossible to lose anything last year (and believe me - I tried!!).

Enjoy that chicken fried steak or whatever you're having tonight! lol

PS How'd you do that smiley in your subject line??

on my way towards Madison, WI...

I am a native of the Detroit area and have been living in Madison for 3 years,and for a time commuting to downtown Chicago. My husband and I often drive the roads you are taking.This is what I would do...leave NW Ohio as early as possible, if you are nervous about traffic aim to hit Chicago after 10am but not later than 1pm central time.Chicago traffic is never great, but during those times on a Friday during the summer you have a chance of getting through w/out adding an extra hour or more to your drive. Follow the Eden's Expy./I-94 toward Milwaukee.You will exit Lake Cook and the gardens will be 4 miles off the expy. When leaving follow I-94 north to WI HWY. 50 toward Lake Geneva catch Hwy. 67 NW of Lake Geneva and take it up to I-94 at which point you are 3 exits east of Lake Mills and you have had a nicer drive than the interstate through Milwaukee. I strongly recommend Monches Farm also if you can do both. If you can, leave the Botanic Gardens and keep on I-94 to Milwaukee.South of Milwaukee follow I-894 to avoid downtown and pickup I-94 again east of Brookfield. Take exit 293 (Hwy. 16?) and follow directions from the Monches Farm website. If you return home on Monday and take I-90/39 be aware I-90 traffic out of Wisconsin is especially thick after holiday weekends so give yourself some extra time. Have a great time, the weather should be excellent.

I'm in Milwaukee WI--question on "un" winterizing my roses
Q

I think Patty your winters in Illinois may even beat our winters in Wisconsin with the cold. I've always used collars around my bushes and filled with initially soil, then the last number of years--leftover cedar mulch that was laying around my 12 bushes. I have one David Austin all by itself further back in the yard protected by a garage. That I just dumped mulch around it and patted it down. That one (Pat Austin) never enthralled me anyway--long spindly blooms that bowed over and didn't last & not many of them either. Sad to say, it wouldn't break my heart if it died. The other bushes are a mixed bunch. When we bought our home over 22 years ago, it came with about 13 bushes lining the South side of our brick home. I knew nothing about roses, but thought they were lovely and tried to glean as much as I could about roses over the years. Many of the original 13 died over the years, but I have some bushes still doing well from before we bought our home--maybe about 4 bushes. Some are probably about 10-15 years old, and others are newer. I planted a Dick Clark last beginning of June that bloomed and bloomed and bloomed--gorgeous tons of blooms. Also a Love Song that took its time blooming, but had a lot of gorgeous purply lavender blooms. The people who planted the original bushes I don't think knew all that much about roses because they planted them almost against the house. Being a novice, I did know they loved water, but did my watering in early-mid afternoon so I wouldn't encourage mold & blackspot. I used soaker hoses. I then learned by our contractor--have beautiful roses and ruin our basement or compromise. Again they never should have been planted almost touching the house. I now water when it is hot out, and when we don't get much rain. They do fine with that schedule. I also stopped putting topsoil (which someone told me to do) in the rose collars in the winters for protection. What started happening is the soil started to form a slight hill and was sloping downwards. I now use strictly the old cedar mulch to fill the collars with some healthy dried leaves.

It’s possible that the battery failure notice relates to the CMOS battery, which is a small battery that powers basic functions on your computer, and has nothing to do with the battery that powers the laptop overall. Over time these batteries fail and need to be replaced. If this is the problem on your laptop, it could explain the issues you’re having.

My mom passed away last Saturday

Thanks everyone, all of your thoughts and prayers really mean a lot. We had my moms service on Saturday and it really went great. My sister welcomed everyone , I did the Eulogy, my dds read a poem titled " Wonder Grandmother", my sil sang Amazing Grace and had everyone in tears, but it was beautiful. Three of my wonderful gfs supplied and kept an eye on all the food. It was really nice visiting with everyone and even though my stepdad only wanted immediate family, I knew this was not what my mom would have wanted. In the end he even enjoyed talking with everyone too. I didn't know if I would be able to do the Eulogy, but I buckled down and wrote it and I made it thru with only a few tears.

I went to Ricky's and had their halibut and fries with coleslaw. And ice water to drink. No desert. I didn't want to over-do it. LOL But I figure I used up all 16 points I had left over for the day, plus probably most of my weekly flex points that I've yet to use ever, so I'll still be okay for the week. The trick is: Drink lots of water. And I mean LOTS. I read the WW messageboards and thought the women there were nuts drinking four litres of water a day. I was drinking about 2. When I upped it to about 3 litres, that's when the weight fell off. I don't add salt to anything, and I've cut out my margerine. I eat my potatoes dry, or use low cal Becel margerine, but only a teaspoon. You can eat two teaspoons of that margerine compared to one teaspoon regular margerine. My vegetable soup (no meat, no rice, no potatoes and no macaroni: just vegetables in broth) can be eaten with each meal if I want. It has a 0 point value. And I eat baby carrots when I'm hungry at night. I am entering week #4. I wanted to lose 12#s by Christmas. But only need to lose 4 more before I hit that goal. If this keeps up, I'll bypass that goal by a few pounds.

Kat, what are you doing to lose your weight?

Oh cool! I've only been doing this for 3 weeks now. I bought my five week deal thing last week to make sure I keep this up at least until after Christmas. LOL I figure if I buy my weeks ahead of time, I won't be tempted to stop too soon. Besides, I want a 'pretty' bra and they don't come in my size. Pretty sad that one needs to go on a diet to buy a pretty bra, eh? âº
