Diet Crap

Okay, I'm gonna rant for a few minutes. I had a blonde moment (or we'll call it a chemo brain fart) and ordered the so called fat burner, no exercise pills -- aka - garcinia. 

Let me tell you, first off this shit is expensive and I tried to stop my order but that didn't work so I waited and sure enough it showed up.  It's one friggin pill per day and I tried it for almost two weeks.  I swear I did not lose one goddamn inch and if anything, gained four pounds.

I went on line and listened to others bitch about how they attempted to return these bottle and get their money back and how after 3, 4, and 6 months they are still waiting, so suck it up and consider it a lost.  

Ya, I know any pill that makes this kind of claim is not real but again, chemo brain fart and you sometimes just want something to work -- well this does not, so don't waste your money.

As I said in an earlier post I now going the T25 (focus) workout,25 minutes a day: cardio,speed (total body circuit), AB intervals, Lower focus, and Stretch and start again next week.  You go at your own pace and there is a "modifier" for us newbies  and hey, if my body says "stop, this is enough," this gal stops.  But it's a workout and I will try like hell to do it for a month or longer if it makes me feel better, which I have been told will happen.  It's all a matter or attitude and we have a team and coaches to keep us motivated, etc.

Anyway, I shall keep you posted -- no pictures tho--you won't see my fat ass on this site!!!

August - Selfish or Delish?




 Clint and I are Pizza Hut.  He would spend his first overnight with Meme and Papa, by the way, he is a bed hog!



 As the kids prepared to depart on their vacation, camping at Bar Harbor, I was tasked with baking a turkey for them to take.  When it was done, and being cut up, I said; "wait I want at least one piece," and this leg was set aside. Within seconds, Clint grabbed it and it was now his.

Oh this was interesting. My sister and I decided to "set up" the inflatable kayak.  Well, once set up, I crawled in and I my son said; "looks like a coffin!"  We have yet to launch this on the water but we sure had a blast setting it up -- and for the record, it weighs more than 25 pounds!


My beautiful and only granddaughter, out for lunch with her Daddy. Oh how I miss this girl.

Wow it has been over twenty years since I have seen my sister-in-law and although it was a short vist it was so wonderful to see both her and John.  Hope they had a good time,we sure did.




Well Sissy just detested my so called food processor so she went and bought me a new one orange and claims its "f-king fantastic!"

Now I gotta hide it as Kelly will try to borrow it for dang sure!

Sissy loves to cook and Pat and I are receptive to almost anything she prepares...love her cooking.






So you have had a chance to enjoy the photos and now the medical updates.  Patrick is all done with his antibiotics and no more trips to Burlington, thank goodness.

I had my second oncology visit this past week, all is good.  Now in December I will have another mammogram and see the oncologist again -- so life is looking alot nicer for both of us.

Now in September I have agreed (actually) joined this Beach Body Challenge group, its a workout program that is 25-minutes a day and this Shakeology drink you consume as well.  Mostly young pups are doing this but I decided this would be a nice way to tone my body and perhaps lose a few pounds too.

Oh the post title.  A few days ago Sissy and I had dinner over at my daughter's house.  Sissy had baked this amazing blueberry pie but we only took half over, as I wanted to be sure we had some here for me. Well, later my dau texts her aunt and says; "thanks for helping with dinner and the pie was selfish!"  We thought she meant because we only gave her half but it was an auto-correct and she meant to say -- delicious (or delish as the young folks say it now) .  So now we refer to anything great, delish or whatever as selfish!

So as August winds down and the US Open ends the tennis season, I am feeling good, getting ready for Fall weather and come April I definitely hope to head to Florida and spend time with not only nephew and nieces but get our older sister and escape to various beaches and just do our sister thing.  Plus, again I shall hook up with my Nam buddy and Justine. So life is looking damn good and I hope all of you are in good health too.  Hugs peopel
