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.

Good morning friends, 1201am Central Time. I'm about to head to bed, so just thought I go ahead and get us started before I do. Mark and I had a good day. We had a relaxing morning at home, then headed into "the city" and had a nice lunch, then Costco for the things we needed there, then back home to put away the perishables, then to town for the regular grocery shop. It's nice to have all of that out of the way and now Sat and Sun can be filled with hanging out, relaxing, some football and whatever else we "want" to do with nothing that we "have" to do. I'll check back in at a more reasonable hour. Good morning and Good night for now.  |

Hi Everyone,
I have some errands as usual to do but got a few things yesterday after work since I got out earlier. I plan to go to the gym today. I did make it there on Monday or Tuesday for a bit. Later as I mentioned last night will go out for a delayed birthday celebration for both me and my oldest sister.
Of all your previous bosses which boss stands out as one of the best boss and which your worst? Just curious!
This one that I have now isnt my best or worse but the other day she high fived me which I find odd because its something you do with little kids. Does she think we are little kids?
I think my best boss was this one lady who I liked a lot who was fair but didnt need to scold in a mean way. I think people respected her or at least I did anyway. I had another one right after she left who I think I'd consider her one of my worst as she belitted people and the morale went down as well. They asked her to leave so I know it wasnt just me that felt that way.
Have a great day!!

Good morning ROs. Lora, I love that you started us off at the very beginning of the day. Sounds like you and DH had the perfect day yesterday and got all the chores out of the way.
Janet, hahaha, I don't have a boss anymore since I AM the boss. I think I liked my last boss the best although he definitely irritated with me at times. I definitely miss his sense of humor - I'm not near as funny as he is and it made difficult things tolerable to be able to laugh about them. I'm also planning to go to the gym today, yay us.
Another beautiful day here. I can't even remember how many of these we've had in a row but I am loving each one. I will go to WW with DN although I won't WI since I am up a bunch. I know the truth so it's not as if I'm pretending I don't have a problem and this way I can have coffee before I go. I also have to return the toaster oven, just really unhappy with it and now I've read online that others are as unhappy as i am and for the same reasons. I just don't expect problem appliances from Cuisinart.
Have a great day, all. Will bbl.

Good Morning All... I also liked the "Good Morning and Good Night" Lora - ha!
DH asked if I knew what tomorrow is... I said, "September 1st." He started trying to remember the words to the song (I think it is September love or that was the name of the movie or something). So I started singing, " See you in September, see you when the summers through..Here we are saying goodbye at the station, summer vacation is taking you away" AND it ends, "Will I see you in September, or lose you to a summer love?"
Seems we are talking a lot about memories ..last night RobinMd remembered how much she loved her DGPs and that made me think about mine this morning...gee I loved them so much and of course, they loved me. I was the first grandchild and boy they did dote on me!!!
Then Janet brought up our favorite and least favorite boss. Boy I had a principal that I dearly loved...he was such a good and kind man. He passed away recently and there was an outpouring of love. I also had a boss years ago when I worked at a health spa..she had been a stewardess (pre "flight attendants").A man from my hometown met her on a flight. He was interested in fitness and they opened a spa in my hometown.She was in charge of the spa - this was back in the leotard days and I was an instructor...ohhhh, she was something...I ended up quitting....they got divorced and I think she returned to her native country. Her ex called me back to work as a co-manager.
I am going to WW too Andi... I HAVE to WI since it is the last day of the month and I have not done so yet. I may end up paying since I am up also...so...I am not drinking anything and waiting as long as I can before I go - lol. If I wait til next week, I will have to pay anyway, so I might as well go and hope for the best.
Now that I have rambled on and on... I had better get dressed, so I can WI, and get back home for my coffee - lol - bbl with the results!

My grandparents on my dad's side of the family lived pretty close to us and would walk over to our house almost every weekend and I remember my grandparents giving us half dollar coins and going out for ice cream at this place where both my sister and myself had to get up on our knees to eat it. We were only little then maybe 6 or 7.

Well, I got to WW and managed to be FREE, so that is good. I need to get to where I was last Fall when I didn't have to struggle, I was always below goal. I feel kind of down in the dumps lately...maybe part of it is my lousy eating. We know that our food has a lot more effect on our lives that just our weight - I need to just smack myself and get in gear! I'm feeling really old too...I did not get any exercise today, so maybe I will just go ride the bike or take a walk...get those endorphins going
