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.
All are welcome here.

Good morning and Happy Mother's Day to everyone!
We were planning a hike for today, but may not follow through on that. I slept late (9:30a) and woke up with a bit of a headache and goopy eyes. I think my extended time outdoors on Friday has kicked off a little pollen reaction. It's not terrible, but maybe best to let it settle a bit. IDK. If I get to feeling better, we can still hit the trail in a few hours.
We went out yesterday evening to pick up the couple of Walmart things we needed and took the opportunity to get up close and personal with a few of the many public boat ramps in the area to see where might be best to put our kayaks into the water for their maiden voyage. Ironically, the best place appears to be the one closest to the house. YAY! It's about a 10 minute drive from home, has plenty of parking, and is in a quiet little cove with homes that have private docks - and is considered a "no wake zone", so the bigger boats loading in and out at that ramp can't be flying through there making big wakes that are dangerous to the swimmers, kayakers, smaller boats, etc. Out in the main channel, that would be a concern - but we plan to stick to little coves and such where we don't have to worry about being seen or tipped by the big bossy boats. I'm so excited!!
I hope everybody is having a wonderful day. My headache is actually already feeling better (thank you magical, mystical coffee!), so I might go try to rinse my eyes again with cool water and get them to feeling less itchy. Maybe a hike is possible today after all. Fingers crossed!

Hello Everyone....was sleeping soundly when my phone pinged - oh darn - it was a text from a dear neighbor and friend wishing a Happy Mother's Day to me and 2 other friends. Oh well - it was a nice wish, but then I was up. ODD texted that she was baking GF choc chip banana bread for me and brought it over hot from the oven. YDD texted and said she would call later. DSon said he has a reservation at 2:30 for us....we thought that may be a good time to try to get into a restaurant without a lot of people. So our day is pretty full!
Lora - oh I would be soooo excited about the kayaks AND the great place to launch them !!!! I have got to see when DSister and I can go out in her kayaks. Glad the headache is almost gone. Have a great day.
Wishing everyone a great day, whether you are a mother, daughter, sister, or friend !!!!

Hi Everyone,
Happy Mother's Day to Everyone!
I decided to skip the gym today but will aim for at least one day during the week. I did go on Friday tho.
Later we are going out to my other sister's for dinner..it wasnt really a planned thing for this weekend. My other sister who lives near me had picked out and bought several scarves for my other sister and my sister originally planned to come our way and maybe meet her someplace maybe halfway. She decided she didnt want to or something so now the one who bought the scarves is going out to her place to get the ones she didnt want to return them. She asked her if she wanted to have dinner since she was going all the way to her place so she asked me if I wanted to come too.
Other than getting some flowers for her and one other item plus still looking for my lip stuff I havent done that much today. Will probably finish reading one of the books I borrowed from my sister. Cassieroo is nearby on my blanket..she will probably venture onto my lap at some point.
Lora, sorry that you woke up with a headache and goopy eyes. Hopefully later you can still get out even for a short hike .
Susie, it looks like you will have another busy day. Enjoy!
Back to Paradise tommorow..
Have a great day whatever you do..
Jana, you are in my thoughts. Waving to everyone!

Well, the headache came roaring back so I had to take some tylenol. It seems to be easing again, but the possibility of a hike or a walk by the lake is quickly diminishing. We're clouding up and are supposed to have some wind and thunderstorms moving in in a little while. Oh well, no worries. That's the great part about living where we do and Mark now working from home - we can easily do a lunch time hike during the week if that's our best options.
Susie - it sounds like you're having a lovely weekend. You'll have to tell us all about your restaurant experience. I hope you have a great outing!
Janet - I hope you enjoy your outing too, and time spent with your sisters.

Happy Mother's day! Lora, oh goodness! I do hope that headache is cleared. You kayak option(s) sounds great! And only 10 minutes a away??? Sounds meant to be.  I saw a kayak launch on our hike today and thought about your kayaks. Susie, that was nice to get GF banana bread, how thoughtful! Enjoy the restaurant! Sounds fun. Janet, have fun with your sisters, sounds like a nice plan. Also sounds like Cassie was giving you some loving attention. We went on a mini hike suggested by my MDS, and it took us to a magical huge tree. What a pretty forest. Then we went on a picnic at a different location about 20 minutes from the first place then hiked there along the river... so pretty! The river goes under ground for 3 miles at the mid point of our hike, so we actually walk over it on a land bridge, so neat. Our youngest son told us about this one. It was a nice day. Now I HAVE to finish my work. Waving hi to all!!! |

Happy Mother's Day, Lora, sorry that headache keeps coming back... maybe all those fronts moving through are part of it. That area you scoped out for putting in the kayaks sounds great. How nice it will be to glide around the lake and see everything from that point of view! Susie, what restaurant did you go to? It sounds like you had a great day ahead of you! Jana, sorry to see that your DF took a spill... I hope he is feeling a little better today, although I'm sure he is going to be hurting for a little while. Have you tried some ice packs for the swelling? I'm probably a bit behind on his progress.. by the way, alcoholics have clotting issues, so his bleeding will always be a lot worse and the blood thinners add to it. And with our elderly loved ones, falls are such a big concern. I sure feel for all that you have on your plate...take care of yourself I've been thinking of you... Janet, I hope you have a nice dinner with your sisters. And some Cassie lap time sounds nice, too! I have been able to keep up some with the posts this past week, but work has been ridiculous. I hate to say it, but I'm really stressed out. That is why my gut was giving me trouble lately. We are short-handed and our new employee has been not showing up or calling, or answering phone calls, so every day we go in, we have no idea what we are walking into and it is rarely good. I hate feeling like I am not able to keep up with things that need to be done. I worked at the station yesterday but it wasn't busy, I had one call. I need to do more outside work, but it has rained every day off! I am not letting myself stress about that! My girls came by today and we had a fun visit. I cleaned the house like a mad woman so that it would be decent when they came over, so that was a good thing. I have no idea what the weather is like tomorrow, but at least I can get some work done outside if the weather is good, and not worry about the inside. I'm doing a load of laundry now, too. I got myself an Antipasta salad yesterday but never ate it, so I'm having that for dinner tonight. I hope everyone is having a good weekend! I will be back tomorrow, but I will probably be in bed early tonight. I missed being here this week, but like I said, I at least tried to see what everyone was up to! Hopefully this week I will do better because I miss catching up with you all... Have a good Monday, and I'll be back tomorrow, RobinMD |
