How was your 5:2 day today?

My biggest dilemma is that I have to take medicine in the morning. I don't want to eat until around 11 am because I like to have a late night snack of 100 calorie pack of cocoa dusted almonds. I've been putting off taking my medicine but the one I can't put off is an anti biotic.

I guess I can share this ,lol. I have to take an antibiotic before have sex or I will get a UTI.I have to take it with food.

I guess half of a Greek Yogurt would be 50 calories. I need to look up string cheese and baby bell light.

How about you? Is the 5:2 plan working with your life? I also don't like working out with my trainer on an empty stomach.

Will this not work if you have 11 hours in between instead of 12? There must be some reason you have to have 12 hours off.

    Thanks Cowgirl, it is Niebles actually. I remember hearing about that person that was kicked off and I seem to remember that she wasn't actually a real coordinator, just an obsessive fan who tried to

Michael is a good man, we have lots of fun, I like his friends, he likes mine...no complaints. He hasn't managed his financial life well and I won't be a.partner with someone who isn't on top of that stuff. There are.reasons for his situation but he is 61.and nowhere near ready to retire financially

Taking a moment to honor the reason for memorial day - too many people have died defending our countries; we owe our freedom to them.

I was going to ask about Memorial Day but thought I had figured it out. Over here we remember on 11th day of 11th month at 11.00 am when the whole country comes to a halt for a 2 minutes silence. The Sunday nearest the 11/11 is designated Remembrance Sunday and there are ceremonies at war memorials.

I had to tell a younger person what Memorial day was for. She didn't understand why she was getting a day off work.

Went out with the artist and I couldn't wait to come home. I think he has Aspergers or something. He's one odd duck. I hope he realized the date was awful so I don't have to tell him we aren't a match.

I agree Sheryl that by 61 people need to start having an exact idea regarding retirement. I get really sick of men that are penniless at that age and I know a lot of them. Most of them will say their ex wife has it all.

I'm glad I got Match for half price.I wouldn't have paid if it hadn't been a better deal than full price. They are different than the ones on POF. Some are the same. I'm getting a lot of interest from out of town guys. That's ok cause they are either retired or getting reading to. I wish I wasn't so picky. I hate 61 year old men that look like an old man.They look 80 to me.

My trainer looked up gabapentin and he said it does cause weight gain for some people and also makes it difficult to lose. I just wish I could get addicted to exercise the way I used to be.

I wonder how Kim is doing. I think she's really to be admired for supporting her man while he travels. I would not be that strong.

I've had a horrible weekend. All my friends were busy with their families and I basically watched tv non stop, other than my bad 2 hour date.

I had so much fun this weekend. I attended 2 parties on Saturday; hosted one Sunday and then went to mariners on Monday. I am enjoying my friends and also socializing with Michael's circle of people.

It's not just men, I know two women who are in their 60s, own nearly nothing and plan to rely on social security.

No one is posting [emoji17][emoji17]

I'll post. I went out on a date with a guy who took out his teeth at the table when he took me out to lunch. I'm going to be alone forever :) I posted about it in the mars and venus collide forum. It was so gross!

I am really enjoying my trainer. He's really good and motivating. I just wish I could lose a few lbs as I am eating right and exercising and nothing is happening. It's really frustrating. I should just box up all my clothes that don't fit and get rid of them all.

I'm going out of town tomorrow to a neighboring town and am looking forward to that. Plus I bought my plane tickets to go to Chicago in August and I am really looking forward to that.

Sheryl I know people like that too. I know a guy who was trying to live on $700 a month social security. I finally had to stop being friends with him because he was always asking to borrow money, and every time I saw him, I became depressed.

Denise I shouldn't laugh but I did[emoji1]. I just had the vision in my mind of it happening. What did you do/say? I would of ran a mile.

Glad you are enjoying the trainer, I miss mine and have to find some classes and motivation cos I'm hardly exercising. Keep with it, even if the lbs don't drop the inches will plus it will strengthen your back.

I have not had nearly the horror stories as yours! Honestly Denise I would give up!

I am very happy and busy these days but not doing too great with getting back to 145-150# range!

There are nice intelligent men in Oregon but it seems they don't want me. The losers do though.

I can only hope I won't be alone forever. I have to keep hoping.

I was down another lb on the scale this a.m. but I've had a lot of junk today. Sometimes I think I should go on a fast and just not eat anything until I am down 10 lbs.

I wonder if Kim is going to talk to us again. Has anyone seen her posting anywhere on the board? I hate to lose everybody!!

Denise, oh my! I LOL at the teeth! I would have puked and then RAN! Disgusting! What a way to win friends and influence people!!! Ha!

Been super busy. Had a free for all on junk for a week or so starting with baby boys first birthday party and cupcakes. . Back on track now and took off the pounds so feeling better. Amazing how we can just go right back to old habits so quickly. Well, me anyway.

Here's the birthday boy, Elton John Crochet. EJ post-108291-14655593857752_thumb.jpgpost-108291-14655594195433_thumb.jpgpost-108291-14655594553775_thumb.jpg

Lovely pics Georgia, EJ certainly enjoyed his cake.

@@Georgia adorable photos!

I just got back from an amazing horsey mountain weekend. We saw UP CLOSE - a bear and a bunch of mule deer. That deer was so close, we could see her beautiful eyelashes. We also saw an elk, across a meadow. Of course lots of birds, butterflies, flowers etc... but the most amazing thing is we saved a golden retriever dog from maurading deer. Seriously. they must of been does with fawns they were hiding but they had that dog pinned down and whenever he tried to escape, the deer went after him. We had to shield him with our horses and escort him home! i am riding a spooky arab borrowed horse and was thankful he stayed steady through that peculiar adventure!

That sounds like so much fun Sheryl. I don't know if I ever told you, I used to have 2 horses. I loved riding them. They saved my sanity after my husband was killed.

Adorable pictures Georgia!!

I am going to Portland to my granddaughter's birthday party this weekend. I am trying to find someone online to go out for entertainment Saturday night. I wrote to a guy who says he loves to dance and goes to a Salsa Club every weekend. More than likely, I'll be spending the evening watching tv in my motel room.

I decided I can't stay with them anymore bc my DIL drives me insane. I'm hoping I can take my granddaughter to the movies and see the new Ellen De Generes movie.

Have a nice weekend Denise.
