β No Excuses β
* This is a daily thread for those who want to live by the philosophy that you CAN be ON PLAN EVERY DAY, whether you are doing SFT or counting points for ALL foods! * You aren't doing this to brag; you are doing it for YOU! Because YOU are WORTH IT and because WW has made this totally DOABLE! * WW gives you a lot of freedom and a LOT of options that make it quite possible to live this lifestyle EVERY DAY. * You know that this philosophy keeps you on the straight and narrow. * If you give yourself an excuse to go off plan today, there will ALWAYS be another excuse tomorrow. * SO, there are NO EXCUSES!!! * This is your LIFESTYLE and it is a lifestyle you enjoy and you live it daily. * Hopefully your participation here will not only inspire YOU but will inspire OTHERS, too.

I think that there must be more to this quote than just that...it seems a bit cold or tough-love-ish the way it is written? I do think we are in charge and must take charge of our lives but sometimes in some situations that might not be true...we can put a positive spin on a bad situation but it is still a bad situation.
But as for health and exercise we DO have the power and ARE in control so we can DO or not...be miserable or not.

Last night we talked to our son as the granddaughters were away it was a quick talk. All is well there and all is well here and that was about it. Today I have talked to two banks about getting a fresh account started and also about getting the stimulus check deposited and into a fresh money account. Only money coming in from outside Lebanon is "fresh" and able to be distributed in dollars at one dollar per dollar. Other "old" dollars have been paid out in local currency and always at less than the value on the true market. Anyway...hoping to get that done sooner than later!
CHERRY: As cold as it is outside I am glad you are warm and toasty with plenty to do inside!
BEVERLY: I hope you enjoyed the day with your inlaws and know the food was tasty. Glad the woman with covid-19 and a family is improving. We have had snow on our property a couple of times but it is not frequent. We have hail every year and it can get down to freezing. There is snow on the mountains facing us right now. Lebanon is like California for weather so anything they have we pretty much have here.
LYNN: I am glad your daughter headed home before the bad weather. I am also happy you did not have a bad reaction to the second vaccination. I hope you enjoyed the evening!

Good morning. It does stay nice and warm in the house and I don't worry about keeping the heat turned down to save money or energy. That is something with which I want to feel more comfortable than with cost saving. Also with my generator I don't have to worry about the power going out. It got cold last night, a -29 and right now it is still -25. It is sunny though, and no wind at the moment.
Not sure what I'll find to do today other than more of the same. Plus my exercises. I did get the tomato seeds I ordered, so maybe I'll go plant a few of the small container tomatoes. I could also plant some more spinach. I'm still getting leaves from the ones I already planted and have used a lot of them in salads.
Have a nice day, my friends.

Good morning friends,
This quote reminds me of my DIL#1. She has been through unspeakable tragedy in her life, but she always says that every day, a person can choose to make the most of every day or not. She says you can decide to deal with what's at hand and go on, or you can choose to let the events of the day get you down & spend the day feeling sorry for yourself & worrying about tomorrow. This kind of thinking has worked for her, she has come through things that some people would allow to do them in forever & she has made the most of it & is now the vice-president of an international company.
Today is the day that we get our 2nd vaccine!!! I am super excited! Nothing else really planned for today. We have plenty of left-overs from yesterday for dinner tonight. We had both chili & chicken left over. I also have a large green salad that hardly anyone touched, so no cooking today.
So glad that everyone can stay warm & safe this winter. Have a wonderful day Beaches!

I'm checking in late today. The day sort of got away from me. I had to do laundry, attend an online class, make a pot of vegetable soup and had an ending interview for an asthma study I am in.
I just added barley to the soup to get it ready for dinner and I will serve it with crackers. I bought the pans and ingredients to make bread, but was not in the mood to make it today.
Bev, I hope your second shot goes well...Cathy, I saw that you got your book stuff straightened out...so glad. Cherry, stay warm...that is some cold temps you have there. Waving to Pam...hope you get your vaccine soon.
Have a good rest of the day, my friends!
