Get to the 160's:

I had a nice, quiet Sunday. After DH & I took the golf cart to the top of the hill to walk, I had lunch and then got out my beading supplies. I had to quit after a couple of hours b/c I was getting a headache from squinting to find the holes in the tiny beads. I had some couch time (no nap) and then went down to the basement to do a 20 minute video to get more steps. We had fish sticks and clam chowder for dinner. I went to bed a bit earlier b/c I was tired. I slept pretty well although was awakened early by the trash trucks and texts from the peeps in my yoga class. The instructor is sick, so no yoga tonight.

It's another pretty day, starting out in the 40's, heading to 70. I think it's supposed to be a warm week, but with rain in the forecast.


Jan- WTG steps 11/11, PU, stretches, blue dot, AF on Saturday. Yay for getting your state refund. Sorry your weather is such a roller coaster. I mix a bit of caramel corn or chocolate drizzle popcorn in with Skinny Pop. I like the sweet/salty combo. Our last frost date is supposed to be the middle of April. I'm not going to plant my garden until we get back from our trip the first week of May, but I may put out some dahlias, plant zinnias, etc. before we leave. My DH liked Barbie, we saw it in the theater. I've had reflux for years, but it's worse on the semaglutide if I forget to take Prilosec.

Carole- Sorry Costco was such a zoo. GL with the MRI on Wednesday. Bill is doing well, shadows DH most of the time. I hardly wear makeup at all anymore and can hardly stand even mascara.

Cathy- Sorry the scale is up, glad you are ready to get BOT. Glad you had a clear internet connection for your son and granddaughters, sorry it was not good when talking with your daughter. Hope you able to plan and enjoy a nice trip with her.

Hi all. Just had some LO enchilada for dinner and DH is making nachos with some leftover steak from the other night. I like when we just can eat what we want and no one has to cook I worked almost 6 hours today and will tomorrow too. Will get there a little later so I can stay for my WW meeting. Not hoping for any positive scale movement but still going to check in. Dropped off a load of groceries at the food bank after work, glad to get those out of the house. Now just hanging on the couch. Saw on the news where we will get the weird weather the next few days, 70 tomorrow, snow flurries the next morning and high around 25 or so. DS had called here before I got home so DH got to talk to him, he said Miami will start letting people know if they got interviews for school the first 2 weeks of March. Fingers Crossed. I just had my girl scout "dealer" drop off my 2 boxes of cookies. Now to stay out of them at least until after WI tomorrow No other evening plans, maybe watch a bit of the Bachelor, then up to read. Hope you all have a great evening. See you in the morning. Jan

Cindy 90! Yikes. So not ready for that! Happy that you were feeling a bit better today, sleep always helps. I seriously need to cut back on the carbs and sugar. Hard when they are your favorite food group Yay for getting a check back from the mortgage company. Have fun on DS birthday, how old it he now, about 9? What kind of cake does he want? Hope the Gfish doesn't but in.

Amy Sorry there is no yoga tonight but I know you will get in your steps or do a jiggle free video Hope the headache from the beading didn't hang around. Today I just did plain popcorn for lunch. I remember getting the ice cream in a box. My mom or dad would open the entire carton up and then slice it with a knife.

Carole Any news? Sorry you had to face Costco on the weekend. I try to never go Friday-Sunday but sometimes you can't help it. When is your spring break?

Cathy Glad the internet was better for talking to the GK. Hope you and DD can find a fun place to go this year. How was your tracking and being OP today?

GG Happy Birthday!!! Are you eating the cake? Cute pictures wiht Rylee on FB.
