This thread is for anyone that has been away from healthy eating, had a gain and is recommitting. We accept all forms of healthy eating here, whatever that means to you. We touch base daily for accountability and to encourage one another. This is a judgment free zone.
We all struggle to get the weight off and keep it off. Sometimes this is a challenge, but we never give up and that is the key. Regardless of our situation or where we are in reaching our goal, we count on talking to each other every day and are blessed to have one another as friends.
Our motto is persistence, not perfection.

Surprise! I'm actually up and starting the thread today!  We ended up getting a some really heavy rain showers a couple of times last night, but the sun is out and today looks to be bright, hot and humid. This evening is my weekly live coaching session, so I'm looking forward to that. Other than that no other solid plans for the day. So we'll just have to wait and see what pops up. Not much other news from here at the moment, but I'll pop back later to catch up. Have a great day everyone~ |

Hi Everyone,
Today I am planning to go visit my friend for a while. I have been wanting to return this wrapping paper that I bought. It was very expensive. I have to call the store to see if I can return it as I have had it but I would have to carry it back and forth with me to be able to return it later and while it isnt heavy it is just awkward as I had other stuff to carry. I decided to get off the bus and stop at the dollar tree as I also needed other stuff to get something cheaper because it was like throwing money in the trash.
Other than visiting my friend and stopping to return the paper I may stop at a different dollar store or the grocery store for a few things I didnt get yesterday.
I didnt start my book yesterday so may start.
Tommmorow I have extended care for the afternoon session. ugh! Although in some ways I'd rather have it in the afternoon than the morning. They have rest time in the afternoon. Unfortunately, I wont have every afternoon.
Lora, glad you finally got the lawn done.
Andi and Susie, I hope you enjoyed your day yesterday. Have a great day!

Good morning Lora and Janet. I'm back from breakfast with the DGKs and it was the usual delightful chaos. You could feed a family of 4 from what was under the table when we left... I left the waiter a good tip. Headed out to the gym now with DN, then will come home, do some meal prep since she's coming here for dinner tonight before we go to the California Dreamin' concert. Gorgeous weather again today, sunny, 80's, low humidity.
Lora, I hope you don't get more storms today - it looks like there is a bunch of stuff in the middle of the country headed your way.
Janet, you sound busy and managing the public transport really well. It all takes a lot of planning, doesn't it? How are your friends managing without you to do the shopping for them?
I didn't sleep well last night, probably because of the 2 hour nap yesterday afternoon, had to resort to drugs. As a result, tired today but worried about a nap messing me up again. We'll see. If I do nap, it will be a short one. Too bad I enjoy naps so much...
Have a great day, all.

Good Morning Everyone... slept well, but got up feeling kind of down for some reason....went over to DD's house and just hung out for about 40 minutes (got a stupid aura, but made it through that)...made YDGD breakfast (she asked me if I would make her an "eggy-weggy"-ha). Back home and had one of Andi's egg muffins (Norwegian rolls), then got side-tracked going through my recipes. This evening we are going to a Richmond Pops concert. DH said he will be worn out afterward...he said he has just been in so much pain this week for some reason...he is feeling down too (aren't we a pair??).
Lora - enjoy the coaching session tonight
Janet - I agree that wrapping paper is so expensive ...and just to tear off and throw away. Sometimes I use the bags and (if it is a family member)< I just take it back home myself - ha!
Andi - Had to laugh at the food under the table when the grands were finished - so true!
OK...now that it is actually after noon... I guess I will head to the clubhouse gym OR just skip it and go read....

hi again,
I almost didnt go up to my friend's as the bus that usually only is about 15-20 ?? minutes wasnt coming in my direction. Two had already gone the other direction. I had just called my friend to tell her that if it didnt come soon that I was going to not come but then it finally came. I returned the paper and they had stamps so I bought some. It is a good 20 minute or half hour walk even from the bus. I stayed for a while, left and walkd back and went to the grocery store and on my way back stopped into a different dollar store for some bread which I meant to get in the grocery store.
Andi, they finally somehow did an online order for some things ( maybe his son ordered ) but I dont think they got a whole lot. I think her husband's friend has taken her husband to get some stuff but I dont think it comes close to what I used to get for them.
Anyway by the time I walked back home from the dollar store my feet and knee were beginning to bother me so it seems like since I have been walking more it takes longer to start bothering me.

Good afternoon!
Pheww! For somebody with no plans, I've had a busy day. We decided to get out and run a few errands so left around noon after we'd had a bite for lunch. Since we got back I've cooked and shelled 20 HB eggs for the week, cooked up some chicken thighs and made DH a batch of chicken salad for this weeks lunches. I've washed, dried and put away 2 loads of laundry and hand washed the dishes from the cooking that I did. I'm tired now. haha.
Janet - I'm thinking that during this time without a car, you're going do great getting lots of steps in. As it gets hotter, make sure you stay hydrated. Maybe you can get yourself an insulted/ re-usable water bottle to carry with you, if you don't already have one. So good to hear the more activity seems to agree your knee and foot.
Susie - Oh gosh! I'm sorry that you and DH are both feeling the blues. I hope both of you are doing better this evening. (((Hugs)))
Andi - Lol at the situation under the table. Enjoy your concert, it sounds like your weather is pretty perfect right now.

Hi ROs,
Well, post #3, and I am making this short. GRRRR!!
Lora, I love to spend some time in the kitchen, making a few different things to have on hand.
Janet, you would wear out a Fitbit! Good for you, trucking all over the town... Rest those knees at night though. I use ice on a lot of things, a lot of nights...Ha! Things feel better in the morning, when I ice before bed.
Susie, I hope the concert is good! I bet I would be tired afterward, too!
Andi, the breakfast sounds fun! Sorry you are still struggling with sleep. I LOVE naps... I take one every day during my lunch break. A skill I have mastered over the years, working on EMS and Critical Care transport units.
I worked today from 8 to 5 and only had one call. I'm glad, because I didn't feel great this morning. It got better later. Yesterday, I was able to get most of my mowing done, and continued to get the pool ready. I hope on my next day off, I will have that thing clean and humming. The umbrellas and chairs are out, and now I will get down and dirty on my landscaping up there. It will be looking ready for business. I sat up there yesterday evening with a glass of wine, and the dogs, just listening to the birds, and the wind chimes. It is a little bit of peace and comfort for me.
Well, I have to work tomorrow, so I will be getting things ready and heading on to bed. I hope everyone is having a good evening, and I will be back tomorrow at some point. HEY! I made it...I didn't lose my post! I'm quitting while I'm ahead...
