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 everyone!
I've been awake since about 3am. I finally got out of bed at 5. Now here it is 6 and I'm yawning and feeling like I need nap. Lol. It's super foggy this morning, but it's supposed to clear off and be a nice, sunny day. I think the high is supposed to be low 90s, but our humidity is ridiculously high this week, so hopefully there will be a decent breeze. We're planning on packing up and heading out about mid-morning. Hopefully I'll have a little more energy by then. Hopefully, a couple more cups of coffee will help.
Susie - I always took my own polish for pedicures too. I could generally stretch an extra week or two out of it that way. I never really did polish on my finger nails. The few times I did, work destroyed the look in the first few days, so really what was the point for me...Lol.
Anyway, I hope everybody has a great Wednesday. I'll pop back in later.

Good morning everyone. Today is expense reports day. Ugh. I do expenses for 60+ people now. It will probably take me all day to get them done. yesterday I finally got my mid-year performance review. It went really well. Unfortunately I am at the top of my pay scale so I won't be getting a raise any time soon unless they change the pay scales. Oh well :/ Lora I hope you enjoy your day kayaking today. Sorry about the early morning  Susie yes I have 1 baby tooth still and since I am almost 51 it has lasted it's life - lol. It is very sensitive and we knew it was coming. It has hung in there well. I will be getting one implant to replace that baby tooth. Janet enjoy the vegetarian restaurant. I am not sure I have ever eaten at hone. Jill is today the day YDS comes home? did the pup get it's hair cut? Waving to Robin if she drops in or is reading and anyone else who might pop in. |

Good morning.  Lora, oh goodness! I am sorry you didn't sleep well last night. :/ But, so nice you are able to get out on the water today! Sounds like CC enjoyed his freedom yesterday! Jana, sounds like a super busy day! Yay for your review! It's always a relief when that is finished. Susie, what a good idea to use your own polish and have it for touch ups. I have never thought of that. I do my nails each week with the clear polish. That way I look clean and together, but I don't have the color to deal with. I am too hard on my nails for anything to last. I hope your DD has good luck with getting a car. Janet, I hope you had a nice time out yesterday. RobinMD, how did the deck estimate go? I hope you are able to really get as much oasis time in as possible this summer. In answer to your question I really don't know if there will be virtual school for any of the students or not this year. I guess I'll find that out next week. I might ask today, though. I noticed on my class list that there is a student who has a true medical reason for being home, so it might be a hybrid again? I am off to get my classroom set up this morning. Can you believe it's already time for that??? YDS is now coming home this evening instead of yesterday. His GF had a headache so they will each travel today instead. (I think he wanted another day with her.) Today he is working his internship online, so he'll have to wait until that finishes up around 3PM before he gets in the car. Waving hi to all! |

Hi Everyone,
My friend got back last night from her day at the beach and texted to an earlier message so confirmed about our plans to eat at the vegetarian restaurant. I have eaten there before and even tho I am not vegetarian their food is very good..the friend I am going with has been leaning that way recently. I asked our other friend if she was interested in going there before but she had no interest so we are doing this by ourselves. When we were in Amsterdam we ate at a few places that were also vegetarian. They were also very good.
I had this weird dream this morning almost before getting up anyway but I think this actually woke me. I dreamed that I was driving ( the doors must have been unlocked) and a group of 3 men jumped into my car and think they had guns. So I drove horrible on purpose and one of the guys decided he had enough of my driving and left..then I was trying to adjust my seating as my legs were somehow too far away and was trying to adjust it with my arms but they didnt like me doing that and then woke up. Weird, right? I do drive with my car locked though as I work in a neighborhood that is not good.
Lora, have fun kayaking. I hope you get a nice breeze.
My sister invited us for dinner on Saturday so I guess we arent doing a beach day but that is ok because the last time we did didnt turn out to be the greatest at the end of the day.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Jill, unfortunately that dream could be a reality but I will make sure to lock my doors. Fortunately, a lot of times I drop my friend off at the bus stop so we pass through that area together at least.

Well, quick update. After talking to Mark, it turns out he's feeling pretty worn down too. So we've switched gears and are going to make a Costco run today instead, and try shoot for hitting the lake on Saturday.

Hello Everyone....Well, I went to the neighborhood water aerobics class this morning. It was fun...only 7 people there. The instructor at my gym is on vacation and someone who goes told me the sub was not so great, so I decided to just take it easy this week (the wedding was enough). Lora - funny that you mentioned COSTCO...we stopped there today after DH's appt with the retina specialist. He said where he fixed the tear looks fine and there is no need to come back. Jill - a little extra time with his GF is very nice too. Oh, my ODD had no luck with the car. When they got there it was already sold. I don't know what they are going to decide to do now, but something else just went wrong with the one they have and she is driving those little girls ALL the time and her DH is often away from home. Janet - I picked up my DGS today and he was telling me about a nightmare and guess what he had made in his summer class? A dream catcher! I was telling him about them... I'm sure you made them at camp! Maybe you should get one of those old ones out to keep the bad guys away from your dreams...and continue to keep your doors locked. Jana - expense report - oh joy, your favorite day! I should hope you would get a glowing review since you are doing the work of 2 people. BTW..how are they coming with hiring the other person? OH, OH, OH, did you see the few pics I posted of the wedding? Finally DD has started to send me some! |

Hi again! Went swimming for a bit and then went to pick up my friend to go to the vegetarian place. I ordered this goat cheese nachos which was an appetizer but I ordered just that as I remembered it was really a big portion of food when my nephew ordered it the last time we were there. I shared with my friend and I still brought it home. It was delicious. Tommorow I have an appointment with my neurologist/ opthamalogist for a routine visit. I take the elevated train down there and then just walk down about 1 1/2 blocks. Then some lunch and if the weather is ok I probably will go to the pool. Only one more week to go. but I think if I went any longer I will really get bored tho so maybe not so bad except for having to go back and rearrange our class yet again..that part I wouldnt mind if we could skip for sure. Susie, I dont ever remember making dream catchers at camp but my friend recently gave me this small dreamcatcher key ring from someplace she donated money to. Maybe I should attach it to my backpack. I remember making something along that idea tho. They were called God's eyes where you took yarn and wrapped it around 2 sticks so it was a diamond shape. I think you could use more than one color so the middle resembled an eye. Did you post the pics in the alternative site? I didnt see it there. If it was in your personal one I guess I'd have to unblock it, look and then reblock after what happened with someone imitating you. |

I hope you have a nice lunch with your friends.
