Anyone is welcome to join the SMART weight loss goals.
SPECIFIC MEASURABLE ACTIONABLE REALISTIC TIME LIMITED
You can pick as many or as few goals as you like. They can be daily, weekly or monthly. It's up to each individual. Keep us posted on how you're doing w/ the goals and how/if it's showing up on the scale!
AND if you aren't into goals... now or ever... no big deal. Friendship, accountability and support... they don't HAVE to have goals.
Lastly if you have goals that aren't related to weight loss, that works too. Like "making me time"

OMG YES SANDY on the jeans, boots and starched white shirt. **FANNING MYSELF** Glad Dale and KM had a good day together. Here's hoping they can stack up a BUNCH of those kind of days.
I'm hoping I don't sneeze and cough my butt off (trust me that's impossible b/c it's a big butt) tonight.
I'm going to do daily goals for a while. So Friday's SMART GOAL will be 30 min of pool jogging. NO EXCUSES!
Night all.

Dale was much better yesterday Part of problem is fatigue He just needs to make sure he gets a nap And not overdue things
He does stay hydrated with water
I’m still encouraging diet changes n have read articles to him about diet for RA
He is better to eat tuna sandwich at lunch rather than lunch meat Changed to wheat bread
Not baking sweets daily
However he has bday coming up so prob a cake in his future

CELESTE I agree. I hate to go through this process, but that’s what I ended up telling myself; I have nothing to lose. And I really think this is off the charts for undeveloped land. Allergies must have been bad yesterday, my head was congested when I woke up, which is unusual. I need to check/change my filters this weekend. And I need an oil change (that was a self-reminder). SANDY you have to get up early to accomplish anything outside right now. I have good intentions for after work, but it’s too hot out to do much until about dark. And then it’s… dark. LOL I did walk Lu after dark last night with a flashlight. She doesn’t care what time of the day it is, as long as she gets out there. I would rather be doing anything but work today. Just sayin’ I ended up snacking on Bare Naked PB Granola last night. What the heck was I doing? So my NoS day was a bust, but activity & water goals met. I’m doing well on water, steps, stairs; need to get in more gym time, and have done 80% this week on NoS. Still need to get all the way on track. I’ll continue with last month’s goals, but add something new when I can think of it. Or maybe just concentrate on the previous and make gym/workout time the priority goal this month. I'll think about it. I’ve managed to keep 9# off from January to now. Need to step that up too. So today: No Sweets, Snacks or Seconds 45 min workout

Morning folks,
Slept in til 6:50. I'm such a party gal....not! Fell asleep by 9:30. A small load going in the dryer. Having a lazy morning. DH is working. Z just left for work. Haven't seen or heard a peep from the girl. She had a blast with her friends. The other friend got sick and the dad had to go to San Antonio to get her.
Not sure what I'm going to do today. I kinda just want to be lazy and figure out the next few weeks. I am traveling next week on school business. This just came up yesterday.
So, I have an issue....DH says keep my mouth shut. Give me your opinions, please. A teacher got a bad review this year (good teacher, bad AP....same one I had last year) & has been telling several of us she plans to leave and move back to the East Coast with her family. She has told Administration she plans on staying and will return for next school year. What she is telling us is she's going to wait till the last minute, give her notice and put administration into a bind where they're going to struggle looking for a new PE coach at the last minute. The position is going to 3/4 due to budget cuts. So, do I keep my mouth shut or do I go talk privately with my principal and let her know what we hear? My close co-worker/friend is telling me I should go talk to the principal because we do have a close relationship where we confide into each other. But, then, what if the coach is just mouthing off cuz she is still angry, which I get, from being there last year, but I never threatened to leave. Ughhhh..... she even says she knows that it's wrong but still plans on doing it. Oh and on top of that..... she's going on this last minute trip, which is for us to go get some information and come back and make decisions for the campus for next school year. What we're going to do is controversial in our district right now. But more on that later. So, what do y'all think?

Wow STEPH that is tough. On one hand it's gossip and could blow back in your face, but I do get that the principal would want to know. I also think that someone that has been in administration and knows her employees, would have an inkling of how that particular employee may react. I do believe that type of behavior/attitude is already apparent during the course of working or supervising someone, and this would not be a surprise. I'm with DH. For what it's worth, I'd tell the teacher that she should be up front with administration and what she is threatening to do is wrong. If asked by the administrator if you have heard anything to that effect, be honest. But I would not carry it to her first. Just my opinion.

SANDY I think w/ the anti-inflammatory diet, as with all diets, it STILL has to be livable and people DO have birthdays. I have to say w/ the No S, I do take advantage of the weekends and have dessert. And I can have a small amount and it feels special. SUZE add me to the snackers. I had cheese late at night. I just craved it and this is exactly how mu slippery slope starts. I crave something at night and give in. And give in and give in. I need to STOP that starting tonight before I'm back in the habit. GRRRRRRRRR at me. STEPH I'm on your DH's side 100%. Reverse situations. If you'd told someone something in CONFIDENCE, you'd probably resent that person going to the principal. I know I WOULD! I'd be livid. And I'd never trust you again. And if she doesn't leave you have to "live with her" so to speak. If she were endangering herself or the kids that's different. IMHO it's really none of your beeswax. OBVIOUSLY what she's told you was in confidence and if she wanted the principal to know, she'd have told her. My head hurts. I slept badly and not sure why. I was having weird dreams. About things I needed to do when I woke up but they really made no sense. Something about putting guacamole IN AN ENVELOPE? ? HUH? I know...> SUZE I'm mailing you some guac. Be sure to check your mailbox in a few days. That rotten aroma is from overheated avocados. I WILL pool jog no matter how hot it is and how much my head hurts. ESPECIALLY since I went nuts on cheese last night.

Suze....hurray on keeping 9# off!!! I think I have managed 2#...haha! Oh well...onward!
Sandy...enjoy the 🏀 games!
Steph....oh boy! The drama never ends!!! It is a dilemma with valid points on both sides. One thing that really sticks out to me is the upcoming training. If she is not going to be around to help plan & implement a major, controversial change, she should not be the one going to the training IMHO. You need to be attending that kind of thing with people who are committed to seeing it thru. BUT....that being said, I do agree with your DH that it’s not your place to spill the beans....see Celeste’s excellent points re this...well said! Is there any way you can appeal to her to go to the other administrator & level with her? Or at the very least beg her way out of going to the training so that someone else can attend? Also ....not sure what your contract language says about late resignations. Many times they involve hefty fines & can even impact your license. So while she is feeling greatly wronged, she should look a little further into the future before acting on this plan. Just my 2 cents worth.
Celeste....glad your new table / chairs met your expectations! Nice when things come together!
Waves to Becky, Connie, & JT ~~~
B&B is ready for round one! DD & family will be here around 6 pm. Tomorrow the boys will stay with us....the parents have a wedding to go to out of town. The bride is one of DDs former middle school students ...probably the first year she taught! but they have kept in contact.
Moving on to some food prep. Pineapple to cut, a quiche & some bars to make, veggies to clean. Plan to put my feet up for a couple of hrs before the FUN arrives....better keep moving!

LOl now talk about GAG... GUAC! Good for you! Let us know how the pool jogging goes. Once you get back into the habit, you be there with your floaties on waiting to get in at the gate.
I, too, had a BIZZARE dream. Went to a family gathering with my friend. He was chugging beer to save the band and acting the idiot. We argued. I walked around the house to get away from his drunken arse. Open door one, more family gathered and.... a lion standing on the back of the couch. He didn't look like he was going to eat me or anything, but I wasn't going to stay and see. Wandered around some more, see that friend is still argumentative and a jerk, he got mad and stormed out and drove off. Well, carp, I am going to have to walk like 15 miles to get home (I've done it before, yes, years ago) so in the midst of trying to figure out the transportation thing, I walk into door number 2, and there was a panda bear in the room. He looked meaner than the lion, so I didn't stick around. When I saw the lion again, it was outside playing with a little orange tabby kitten (rather roughly) and I was afraid he was going to eat the kitten. Well I decided, after an offer for a ride home by Vincent D'Onofrio, to walk. But first I had to find something to walk home in, since I only wore my panties to the gathering. OMG what a nightmare. I wrapped up in a sheet, toga style (another party scenario from my very past, past) and headed home, in the rain. I can even picture the street and house that I walked to...hope it was mine!

SUZE you are making it VERY hard to be your friend. Eggs, limas....now GUAC? What are you some kind of COMMUNIST? IIRC you don't like blue cheese either. HONEY we need to TAWK!! OK I REALLY don't get it (after reading your dream). You won't eat guacamole but you'll drop acid at the slightest provocation. Vincent D'Onofrio? Somehow that's weirder than the panda or the lion. Bob would be jealous b/c he really likes Vince. Me? "MEH". Oh and those panties you wore? They said TUESDAY on them to make it WORSE.
Oh lord I did the 30 min pool jogging and really stepped up my pace. That was a long 30 min let me tell you. Especially the last 5 minutes. I sat out to dry off in the sun for only 15 min and then realized I was BURNING UP! I actually caught fire. POOF. Flames were licking up EVERYWHERE. Tendrils of fire reached out to consume everything it its path. First thing to go? My hair burned up. I was BALD. THen my watch. I was bald and had no idea of the time. Then just like a big pig at a luau I ROASTED. The smell of cooking flesh was everywhere. It was awful. ANd all I was wearing was SUZE's MONDAY panties. Either that or I was hot and dehydrated (I was drinking iced tea in copious amounts). That's my story and I'm sticking to it and it's the reason I WILL NOT pool jog tomorrow. That and the fact it's the weekend, the pool is CRAZY crowded and they have kids' hours right at my prime pool time.
I'm currently sitting here in my chair in the A/C strip stark nekkid trying to cool off. Boy is BOB In for a surprise. LUAU!!

Steph I know you want to do what is right but if it were me I wouldn't go to the principal.If someone else is willing to talk to the principal then that would be on them.I just wouldn't want it to come back on you and then you get in trouble but I don't think the coach if she is really quitting should go on the trip for the changes coming up next year.
Celeste I hope your head feels better soon.I have a slight headache this afternoon I think from the mold.
Suze Wow on your dream.I hope it wasn't too hot to walk home. LOL. What was that old game show that the host always said behind door #1 or door #2.They never had a lion behind one of the doors I don't think.I wouldn't want to be in one of your dreams.
Celeste Are you sure you weren't in Suze's dream instead of at the pool?It's too hot this time of day to go to the pool woman.Is Bob coming home anytime soon?
I have my step goal met but I still want to get 10K steps and I don't know if that will happen.I think I need different shoes but no matter what pair of sneakers I wear to town my foot still hurts.
Even though it's 96 here right now on the noon news they said it would still feel like 105-107.I'm not going outside that's for sure.

Had trouble getting to sleep today. Then woke up several times thru out the day. When I finally got up, my head was all stuffy. Still is. Am dreading going to work. I feel tired and fuzzy-headed, which can turn into grouchy pretty quickly when faced with rediculousness.
STEPH- I wouldn't say anything. If you think it would help, ask the teacher to bow out of training for the sake of her fellow teachers who must live with the decisions made. It's possible that if administrators see the APs evaluations are making people angry enough to quit in that manner, they will speak to the AP. I mean, this is 2 years in a row that she has upset someone.
I have an overwhelming urge to look up dream symbolisms and analyze SUZE. I'm a little afraid of what it will tell me! Had to Google Vince. Guess I've not seen anything he is in.
And as for CELESTE, I think they've spiked her pellets!

LOL CONNIE trust me, you don't want to analyze this brain. I'm not a big fan of Vince (Law & Order Criminal Intent) or anything, and don't have any idea where THAT came from. Or the panda, or..
I KILLED it on the elliptical 50 minutes at 140-150 strides/minute! Added punches and torso twists to step it up. Yeah buddy.
Figure since I'm already sweaty I'll now my lawn tonight. It's going to be hot.
Tomorrow I'll get up early and empty part of my closet. When the previous owner added on, he put the water heater in the master closet. Now the closet is huge, but i bought a new heater and its getting installed in the utility room. So electricity and water needs to move, but water is easy since I'm on a crawl, and electricity wont be bad to run about 25 feet in the attic. But I am not going to be the one in the attic. 😲 Then I'll have carpenter come over and trim out the closet for a little face lift.
Out to mow
