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.
Yesterday was HOT and HUMID in VA. It would have been a great pool day, but I had to work. Darn it, for not waking up independently wealthy yesterday.
I had an awful headache when I got home from work yesterday. I woke up this morning with a scratchy throat and feeling just a tiny bit run down. I hope it is just allergies - mine usually bother me when there has been a lot of rain, and it has rained here multiple days this week. I am keeping my fingers crossed that is all it is.
DSS and his GF both have to work late today, and they need someone to take DGD to her therapy session this evening. I told them I would do it for them. R took off early this week to go pick her up from school when she wasn't feeling well. At the office I am closer to their house than R is and I get off at 3:30 so I won't need to take off early like he would.
I hope everyone has a good day and if you have sunshine - enjoy it.

Good morning everyone. Happy Thursday to all!
Brutal night last night with weather. We had 3 tornadoes pass just about 5 miles north of us. The weather continues this morning. Lots of thunder, winds and heavy rain for the moment and it looks like the worst of this mornings mess will slide by just south of us. I was planning the gym this morning, but now will need to put that off until later today or skip all together, depending on how the weather goes. There seems to be lots of power outages between here and Huntsville, and quiet a bit of property damage, downed trees, etc. in the Huntsville area. This was the worst storm this area has had in a couple of years. At this point, we're still under a Tornado Watch, a Thunderstorm Warning and a Flash Flood Warning. Yuck, yuck, yuck..
Tomorrow we pick up the rental vehicle and drop off CC for his stay at the vet in his VIP Kitty Suite (that name always cracks me up.) Then we'll head out very early Saturday morning.
Jana - thanks for starting us. I hope it's just some passing allergies. Nice that you're able to help out with DGD transport to her therapy. I'm sure it's much appreciated.
Susie - Are you heading out for MA later today or waiting for tomorrow? Either way, I hope the weather cooperates and isn't bad for your drive.

Hurray! the tornado and thunderstorm warnings have expired and there is blue sky peeking out! I'm off to the gym and a quick trip to WM for a couple of things for the trip. Then back home for more trip prep. I swear, this one feels like more work than the cruise prep did. haha!

Afternoon everyone.
Lora and Susie - I hope you both have save travels. I know you will both enjoy the time spent with your DDs.
Lora we had some pretty iffy weather last night as well. I am glad that the storms just past you and you didn't have any damage or issues.
Today the sun is shining (for now) with just a chance of rain.
I noticed all my weeds are growing like crazy and I definitely need to get ahead of that, so I don't end up with a huge mess to clean up once they are crazy again.
As the day goes on - my throat is getting worse, and it is putting me in a terrible mood. I don't want to be sick, AGAIN. I don't want the chance of making my Dad sick, AGAIN. I have too much to do to be sick right now. I told DSS I'd take DGD to her appointment this afternoon. I also, have my DD's dogs this weekend because one of her college friends is getting married and DD is a bridesmaid. I promised her months ago I would do it for her.

Hi Everyone,
Lora, glad you are safe. I was hearing about these tornadoes and Rom they sound really bad.
We had Teacher Apreciation Week this week. As we have had before we were given tommorow off. We had a nice lunch today as the kids had an early dismissal day at 12 pm. As I was not surprised no letters were written to us. I think some of it is a language barrier plus the fact half these parents don't really look much at the school calendar as they get reminders on our communication system. However, two parents did give us a gift. One parent who also works as a teacher with my friend gave us a vase with artificial flowers. Another parent gave us a plant and in her card she included 25.00 cash. Her child has been with us for 2 years. So some appreciation.
Tommorow I think I will go to the glass store as I haven't gone there yet. Since I have tommorow off that will be a priority on my list of things I need/ want to do.
Jana, sorry you are not feeling well. I hope you feel better soon.
Monday is our trip to the family fun center. We have 9 children going. That's more than last year I think but we had more parents/ grandparents going. We have 2 chaperones for the bus but one isn't tha reliable so we'll see. The other one is the parent of our Autistic child so that is enough for her. We have one mother and father meeting us there.
Have a goodnight!

Hi again! Jana - I forgot that I was going to tell you that if you want to hear a whippoorwill, just come to my house. Every evening they start and go all night long. They must be in the trees very close and they are loud. Once on each side of the property, going back and forth all night. Lol. Mark likes to sit out on the back patio at night and read and sometimes smoke a cigar and they drive him crazy. Haha! Sometimes when we're in bed at night and if the TV and the fan are off, we can still hear them. Lol. Janet - enjoy your extra day off & long weekend. Very nice to receive the flowers, a plant and the cash! Who can't use cash, right? I mean a gift card might end up being to some place you don't really frequent, but cash...that works for everyone.  Susie - safe travels to MA, I know you'll have a wonderful time with DD and DSIL and the pup. Enjoy! Tomorrow is a busy day for me. I need to get CC packed up and to the vet, then later go back to town with DH to pick up the rental, get one or maybe 2 loads of laundry done and get all packed up. I'm tired already just thinking about it. Haha! |
