I sure have been running late this week!
It started very cold here -- around 46 degrees. But it has warmed up to be a beautiful day. I've taken Dash out 3 or 4 times already just to enjoy the day.
Sadly I heard that a Synagogue in Colleyville TX is being held hostage by a terrorist. Why oh why is there so much hatred in this world? Why do people hate strangers???
It always makes me think of a Rogers & Hammerstein song from South Pacific
"You've got to be taught To hate And fear You've got to be taught From year To year Its got to Be drummed in your dear little ear You've got to Be carefully taught..."
We should teach our children to judge each man on his own merit -- and to hate no one...
Rant over.
Pray for those people please...

Shragae thanks for the heads up on the news. We turned it on tv to monitor. Prayers that it all ends well.

They are saying Des Moines received it’s greatest snowfall in 50 years yesterday but I fear some other states/people are going to be hit really hard as well. Iowa is very well prepared for storms like we had yesterday, other places likely not so much. Son did come out and bladed gravel driveway and by mail box along highway. He only had leather boots on so when he got done he headed to town to get winter boots. He just called and said if he is going to do the blading all winter he needed winter gear and bought boots for -20* below zero and said highways are clear of snow and ice. I am not going anywhere until at least Tuesday but Steven will and has already today. Sun is shining full force now. I did scoop the deck/ramp, concrete drive, by back door to outer garage and to bird feeders. Drift to feeders was deeper than above my knees. Ready for tulips.
Sandy you had a busy morning. Sharon sounds like Don was out bright and early as well. I think it is better and easier to remove the fresh snow before someone drives/walks on it and packs it down. Pat you don’t have to feel like you are ranting when talking about your grandchildren. You have every right to praise John for his accomplishments and it does ones heart good to know he is so enthused about the International Baccalaureate program. I wish him well. Geri, I am not sure what weather is headed your way but praying you stay safe. Kinda sounds as if Shayna in NC could get major ice, praying not but think she can work from home as long as electricity stays on. Jane you are accomplishing so many things, AC contract, Bible Study, understanding news on TV with no hearing aids, asking someone for help when needed, enjoying bridge, line dancing, you have more activities than I, so proud of you. Really good news about your sons job. Vicki enjoy your time with Denise and Maya, I can always go for a good juicy hamburger also. Ruth you are really hanging in there with your Ab Challenge and I bet by the end of 30 days you will see a body change. Also I believe you will fix those veggies so Mike will like them. 😀😀 Sharon sorry you have not found a tracking platform you like as well as SparkPeople. You are determined enough you will eventually find something, I am a person hesitant to change as well. Shargae, I haven’t seem much TV today so not aware of news report but also wish for more peace with less hate. Prayers for all. Karen C that German Chocolate Cake sounds delicious and enjoy, also hoping your eye heals completely and it would kinda hard to “keep your head up”, maybe I should practice that. Hope my new lens help but fearful they won’t.
QOTD: Do you keep track of what you eat? Sometimes was doing really good at tracking until they changed the program, now it’s hit and miss.
Do you have a plan for treats? Not really I manage to stay below goal but wouldn’t recommend my WW pattern to other people.
How do you use the information if you do keep track? Not sure I can answer that as I do have daily menus written in a notebook and if I feel the need to reset I refer to those. Tuesday is a daily fast day, I try daily 10/14 fasting and my weekend days are pretty spot on point wise. Guess my activity fits in there somewhere. Or else I am just lucky. Been at goal lifetime for 9 years and not intending to pay to be a WW member so apparently I do better than I think sometimes.
Waving to all

Shragae, All of the hate in the world saddens me. Prayers for those in Texas being held hostage.
QOTD: Do you keep track of what you eat? Not anymore, but I do eat healthy whole foods for the most part. Do you have a plan for treats? I delay, don't deny How do you use the information if you do keep track? The jeans don't lie. When my jeans get tight I pay a little more attention to what and when I am eating.

Karen, 60 second planks are a challenge, indeed, which I have solved by doing wall planks. With my arthritic wrists I thought modified planks were a better idea.

Today Mike called his mother and found she was stressed because she was out of food. Apparently her care worker fell on the ice and hast been there in 2 weeks. His sister has not been able to leave her house to help her out due to back pain but was unaware her mom was hungry and had no food. Mike called Giant Eagle to have an order delivered but the cutoff time had passed. He called his former DSil and she just happened to be on her way to Giant Eagle and was happy to pick up food for her. We were able to pay her through Venmo. Sometimes technology is a good thing! The funny thing is that Mike NEVER calls his mom on Saturday. The good Lord works in mysterious ways.

Good evening
Just lost 2nd post of the day. I’m on my phone and keep getting kicked off line.
Hanging in waiting for dentists return on Tuesday. I’ve been moved to his first appointment. Feeling yucky taking Advil and Tylenol.
Today I was thinking the same. Why do people have such fear because we’re not all the same and then become violent. It needs to stop!
Anyway, I’m keeping up with posts and will comment when feeling better and my phone settles down?!
Marlo💕
