This thread was started before the dawn of time by Amazons who needed to compare their stats with other Amazons. Over time it grew into a community of incredible women who try to keep their spirits in the clouds and their feet on the ground, moving toward health. Most of us start at 5'7 and go up from there, from young singles to wise and lively elders of the tribe. We welcome newcomers who are willing to be kind and share a bit of their lives.

Today is my actual spring-forward day. By driving into a behind-me time zone last Saturday, I awoke to my accustomed time. Now I am feeling the effects of falling forward -- splat on my face.
What a great trip we had! We had hikes, picnics, stars, and lots of relaxation time. I finished one book and started another. On our way home, after years of driving within 50 miles going to and from from NM, we actually got up very early and were in the first group to get into Carlsbad Caverns yesterday morning. The booked tours were all full, but we were able to walk down (a long descent, hard on the knees), and take the elevator up at the end with no wait. In between was fascinating and lovely. We were there many years ago, but I really have no particular memory of it. I think the kids were around 5 and 8. We altered our plans to drive through the very beautiful section of NM the day before, near Riudoso, with pine forests and lookout spots at 8500 ft. We had stopped at White Sands and climbed the dunes.
Despite lots of moving about, I feel super puffy today, and I am going to wait to see the damage until tomorrow.
DK is happy to see me. She was very rude to my friends who were staying here in our absence. I guess she's a one-mamma kitten.
I'm still in my Jammies and need to put together a grocery list. I hope DD is coming over tonight -- she has to work and has yet to see DS.

Hello T. Thank God you are home. I've missed you. Your prose and daily check-ins.
Where o where can our kitties be?
I wish I could have a cup of tea or a strong drink and chat.
Today we saw Beauty and the Beast. What a wonderful production. An all star cast in which I didn't know until the credits rolled at the end. It's all good.
I've been pretty careful with my points this week. I've been planning on using my weeklies, but it hasn't happened. I"m afraid I'll lose them this week at weigh in. I am going to have a good eating day tomorrow. I'm trying my d@mnedest to not eat my emotions. The kids leave for 10 days without me. I'm pretty sad about it, but eating won't help, right? That 's what I keep telling myself. I have recorded the movie Jackie to watch tomorrow.
Have a good one everyone!

Hi CATs,
T, It sounds like you had such an amazing break. I've never been to Carlsbad but would love to.
Frieda, are the kids going with him? I can only imagine your feelings right now. I'm hoping you can find some technique to help you avoid eating your emotions. I enjoyed Jackie. I can still remember oh so clearly, many of those events.
It's been a quiet day around the house. Did my walk, got in a little bit of shopping and while DH went to visit the kids I stayed home and read.
Tomorrow it's laundry, grocery shopping, some baking for book club and probably not a whole lot more.
