Food, activity, sleep, and mindset. These are the four pillars of WWâs approach to weight loss.

What goes up...must come down...I hope that is true for the scale, too!
I have to take a salad to a birthday party potluck by a pool tomorrow and now wonder if my bathing suit will fit <sigh> better find out because if not...won't be going in the pool!
I did the basement rat-check (no droppings) and topped off the toilet bowls then ran water through the sinks to deter rats.
Cleaning is NOT happening but...I think about it  |

Good Tuesday noon, Flyangels!
FlyingCathy, I hope your new internet setup is working now. There used to be a monopoly in this area for high-speed internet service but now there are 3 providers, and, coincidentally, service has improved.
Cathygeha, I also have a picnic/pool party scheduled for tomorrow, but new forecast says we could get "thundery downpours" from the remnants of the hurricane...so, maybe will have to reschedule. Good luck with the swimsuit...they usually have some "give".
Tuesday possibilities:
--bookkeeping â
--laundry (never-ending...) in progress
--declutter x 15 min.
--workout or walk
--hair appt & meet galpal for coffee
--music lesson (a small group, just for summer)
--wind down earlier!

Oh dear friends, where have I been?  Carol, I am looking forward to my next Zoom call to see if the internet is better. So far we have seen any probs. My old company keeps calling to try and get me back itâs all kinds of âdealsâ. Where were they when I asked before? Monday I was out for the count with severe back pain so I spent that day with my heating pad. Yesterday I had a fun day first I was invited a a tea my friend gave for everyone who helped out when her aunt (who couldnât be left alone) who passed away recently, then I went to the movies with a friend who is also a social worker to see Sound of Hope: The Possum Trot Story. It was a great movie. Cathygeha: whether you go in the pool or not, donât listen to that critical voice we all have and just enjoy yourself. Wednesday possibilities: âexterminator coming âpractice piano âdr. appt âreturn old internet equipment âmake several cards âswish and swipe all toilets |

Good Thursday noon, Flyangels! Well, Wednesday morning looked beautiful but torrential rain started as I was en route to Tap Class at noon. Then we actually had a Tornado Warning for our area in the afternoon.....friends were getting alarms on their phones, and Rick and I were talking about where in our basement would be the best place to take shelter if it should happen... but fortunately the front passed to the east of us & there were no reports of actual twisters on the ground except for some damage near the PA/NY border and possible flash flooding in the Adirondacks. For us there were just bouts of heavy rain and thunder and lightning on and off all afternoon. Needless to say, the picnic/pool party was rescheduled to next month. Today, it has sprinkled a bit but should clear up later.
Thursday possibilities:
--chiropractor â
--zoom exercise â
cardio/strength circuit
--schedule car preventive maint. â
car & van are scheduled for next wk.
--quick grocery run
--practice
--decluttering
--walk
--wind down earlier

Saturday possibilities:
--WW zoom â
--bookkeeping â
--declutteringâ
got through 2 boxes of kitchen/household items!
--workout â
walked at playground/park nearby, about 2.8 miles
--wind down! âïž a bit late, but at least made the effort. Really needed that quiet meditation time, given the events of the day....
