    Hi all!
    The sun is shining! Wow! :D
    Off to Southampton this afternoon to try to sort out a new phone, unlock my account and get my refund. Wish me luck! :ohwell:
    I will visit my favourite shop and I am so happy to be seeing my brother and his family - my lovely DSIL and the youngest nephew and niece, 14 and 16. I will be taking two trains and a bus to get to the shopping centre.

    DH will pick me up this evening from a more distant train station as the changes coming back don't work well.

    Now going to make myself "beautiful" for the trip. :laugh: That's a long job. ;)

    Mindy - best of luck for the interview! :flowerforyou: Money worries are the pits!

    Love Heather, who is still deaf, but not buzzing as much, in the south of the UK.

    Here's my baby. We adopted her when she was 6 and she is now 11, which is old for a bullmastiff.

    Gorgeous dog!

    Mindy, I love my CPAP. I feel so rested in the morning! I was chronically tired before I was diagnosed. It really makes a huge difference in the quality of my life. AND it can help with weight loss! I was eating to get energy and of course that didn't work. I dropped 40 pounds without even trying after getting it 20 years ago. Sleep is important.

    Good morning, my friends! Just a quick check in before heading for my weight training class. Official weigh-in is not until tomorrow, but I was down another 1.6 this morning. I should be down 5 lbs or more for the month. I am beyond excited. Went to the store yesterday and stocked up on all kinds of healthy things to eat.

    Mindy, I'm so sorry about your financial worries. I can't imagine the stress you are under. Hugs!

    More later. I just needed to check in and share my scale victory. Well, while I'm at it, I'll share my NSV, too. I had to pull my sports bra in to the next hook this week. Hopefully this new class is kicking my back and arm fat to the curb!

    :) I eat a lot of the same meals over and over which makes it much easier to log food into my food diary. I have a small wardrobe of clothes that bring me great joy so choosing what to wear is easier. Even when I was working full time and wearing much larger sizes, I had clothes that brought me joy and I rotated the outfits.

    :) When we started our weight loss journey, one of the first things to go was lunch at Costco. Losing weight became more important than saving a few dollars or entertaining ourselves with "fun food"

    :) I am up too early this morning because Brandy woke me in desperation to go out. I dressed quickly and took both dogs out together which is a challenge but not impossible, but once I'd done that, going back to sleep was unlikely so I decided to use the time to do something useful.

    :) This morning I am teaching my friend's low intermediate line dance class so she can stay home with her houseguests who have come as part of a special celebration for her husband's 70th birthday. I've danced all the dances and am well prepared. I filled in for her one time last month and have done this before, but the dances are much more challenging than the ones I teach in my beginner class.

    :)Youruniverse, that is an awesome dog and how beautifully she poses for the camera.

    :) Heather, your day sounds like a great mixture of adventures....have fun.

    :)Lenora, congrats on finding your credit card. The last time I lost a credit card and went all the way to having to cancel it and get a new number, I found the card many weeks later in the pages of the catalog I'd ordered from last. I guess I finished placing the order and closed the book and forgot all about the card until I was in a restaurant and couldn't find it to pay my bill.

    :'(Mindy, money problems are the pits. Stay in the moment and focus on what you are doing now and that for today you have a roof over your head, clothes to wear, and food to eat. Let the next moment take care of itself when it gets here. Be present during your interview and show them the wonderful you that they'll want in the position. :)

    :)Karen, I don't care for social events....I rarely go and when I do, I don't eat the food and I concentrate on the people and listen to what they have to say, and go home as soon as I can.

    :)drkatie, congrats on your weight loss and NSV.....long before I lost enough weight for anyone to notice, I started getting excited when my underwear fit better.

    Morning Everyone, I used myfitnesspal last year but then I moved from VA to PA. I did keep my weight down for the first 2 months of living in PA but where I work there is t-e-m-p-t-a-t-i-o-n!!! I am tired of how I feel and naturally how I look. My husband likes when I get serious about loosing weight b/c he looks to me to help him loose weight. I am extremely fortunate my husband is my best friend and support system. Everyone have a great day!!!

    Mindy ... To help relieve some stress ... Have you considered calling your lender? Sometimes a partial payment is accepted ... I know financial people say it's better to stay in communication. They would rather work out a plan then have you default. It's to their advantage in the long run.

    welcome.gif Patti,and sammysumo I hope you'll keep coming back to this thread....this is a great group of women who will support and encourage you. A good place to start is to plan your meals for the day and log them in the food diary....then get out of your chair and walk or move around more

    :) I've just come back from walking my dogs....it's raining so they didn't want to walk as much as on other days.

    Hi Ladies,
    It has also been suggested that I get checked out for a c pap which sounds unbearable to me, but my traveling companion and BF insists I need one and six months of Fitbit HR sleep Evals shows that I average restlessness fifteen to fifty or more times a night. Does anyone else have this Fitbit and have you noticed a correlation be a certain level of restless periods and possible c pap use?

    Good night friends new and old,
    Mindy from Boston
    PS welcome all you new gals!

    I have been using a Fitbit Flex since December 2015 and am amazed at my restless numbers! Averaging more than a dozen per night period. I think I am in need of getting this checked out. I knew I wasn't getting a restful sleep and now have evidence so off to the doc I go.

    Now I'm here to gripe. For weeks or even months at a time nobody asks me to edit anything. No commissions, no pay. Then something happens - maybe the stars and planets line up in a certain order - and I've got clients creeping out of the woodwork! Twice today I've had to say no to perfectly good commissions because I have other work lined up.

    I'm hanging in there, eating properly and logging my food, but geez I'd like a break. Especially an exercise break... Haven't been to the gym for nearly two weeks! Still, my weight is hovering just above its minimum for the past few years. Thank goodness for that!

    Gripe over. Please get your broom out, whoever you are who keeps the margins white. Thanks in advance!

    Happy Thursday ! ! !

    Just a quick fly-by today, and hopefully I will have a little more time to check in on everyone soon.

    Payne finished 16 pins behind the tournament winner, and 180 pins above the third place bowler, for second place, but they only awarded scholarship to the winner. Since he made friends with the winner, and I made friends with his Mom, we are hoping they will do some doubles tournaments together . I filled out the paperwork for the Top Gun tournament on Feb. 7, and still waiting to see who gets invited to H.S. State (last year was top 20 ,and Payne is currently #20, so fingers crossed for this Satruday).

    I worked hard on making healthy choices yesterday, and feel great about the results. I set my goals on my tracker pretty low, and got very excited when it started to vibrate before leaving work for the day, so I added 1000 steps to today's goal. The only possible problem is that it is so sensitive to charging that it may not last the entire day today. We'll see. Entire both hands and right are stiff and swollen today, so it will be the exercise bike and walking, the handbike will have to wait.

    Wise Choices for all. Hugs for Everyone ! ! !

    Where in Eastern Oregon? I have family in Malheur County.
