Because of this fat face cartoon on yesterdays post, it reminded me that I totally missed the anniversary post on Jan. 26, 2025. Each year I have done a reminder post of my weight lost that started on January 26, 2017 I gave up sugar, and have had none since then. My first post about weight loss, was Feb 2017. 

Each post has a version on my first 60 lbs down

 that took 2 years of TOPS 

TOPS (take off Pounds sensibly) I joined Feb of 2017 and by end of 2018 had lost 70 lbs, and as have held my goal weight until now, and due to stress of the past year, am down another 12 that I did not need to lose. 

this is last years, Feb 2024 Anniversary

I have no idea what happened to 2021,2022,2024, I could not find them on the blog

Now you can't read me, now you can! Using my hands to take photos in my kitchen

June 30, 2025. 

I had to change clothes because its so hot here I have to shop in a sleeveless blouse. I was shocked, I say shocked, to see the  wrinkles and may or may not show them to you. I was 72 when I gave up sugar, and now in 64 days will be 81, I lost 70 lbs in 2 years and now in 3 months of stress and since I never stop moving lost 12 more.

Don't believe anyone who says you can't lose weight when you are old.

less food, more move

but get ready, the thinner you get the older you look because of Wrinkles

The doctor will not be happy. For the first time in my entire life, I have tried to gain a few pounds. Not yet. the thing about OLD skin losing weight, there is nothing but wrinkled skin draped on bones but my apple middle is still there, but its all skin.

Happy Canada Day to our Northern Neighbors... Love you all!

On The EDGE

 

Yesterday, after a restart on desktop, up popped Edge Browser stating We Updated your EDGE, see what we did.. I always do because it might hide something I want to play with..  CoPilot now allows us to upload a photo and do AI things with it. I chose Quirky Cartoon. The photo on left is the one I uploaded and the cartoon it created. It chose De Day, and left my The. oh well

Close but no bananas, looks like AI can't do portraits and turned it to landscape.

The Neighbors Fence-The End (almost)

 

The neighbor's fence is finished and has been since June 12th, I took photos and forgot to post them until a blog friend asked about the fence. We have put all repair ($$$$) on hold until we find out if the meds will help Bob. 

Our yard waste goes in the blue bin, the big stick is one of two Sea-grape sticks I saved for walking sticks, after hurricane Milton. 

That stick is perfect to hold on to while bending over picking up sticks, I can brace myself and pick up about 6 sticks at one bend over and not fall on my head.

The schefflera tree is the one just to the left of the blue bin. the entire stick of leaves drops, and the leaves come off. Bob has always just mulched the sticks and leaves and no need to pick them up. 

Once, my neighbor Willie saw me picking up sticks and said Whatcha doing over there, DieHard.

the new name he gave me after hurricane clean up

When the young men who installed the fence, built this barricade, with a gate they took down from the neighbors yard and they left a half section of our leaning rotten fence, because if it is moved, there is a hole just the right size for a big fat nosy dog to dive through.

Baby Girl, now an angel, was the most stubborn dog on the planet

Dan will remove the gate and our fence and patch the hole, next time he comes to work

our old fence, had wire all the way across to keep Angel Baby Girl from digging under the fence. She is angel now but was not when on this earth. I took the photos to show there is 2 feet between our fence line and the neighbors.

I filled the space between the strangler fig tree, with debris until Dan comes, I don't want Beau on the other side of it until the hole is fixed. the space you see is not an outlet, there is a chain-link fence there, our fence. Moving debris is how I met the granddaddy long legs that climbed my arm.
