Good evening,
When in doubt for dinner- oatmeal to the rescue!! Could have a 2nd banana today - but I will pass.
I am tired like its Thursday - so not much going on here.
I am so glad I can read who the phone calls are from now..... what a nice improvement so I dont have to hang up on people.
Hope to stop by before lights out.1 -
Lana card in the mail tomorrow.......

Lana- way to go on tracking! I'm the same... I track really well for days/weeks... then, I just stop...no real reason... just stop...I did well, with WW points...I think, I kind of need to be told I can't eat something... helps me make better choices...maybe
Sara - it's just a number and you are more than that...I would say, kick the scale... but, that would hurt...
Ali -hope you survived grass mowing without allergies making you miserable... how was recital and dinner after? Still can make ok decisions at McDonald's..
hickchic67 - have fun with Jeep! I love Jeeps! I had a 92 Cherokee Laredo...I loved it... but, started having too much issues and couldn't afford to fix it... was soo bummed having to sell it...
Annie - hope DH does/ did good with dental work...
Meatloaf was ok... accidentally made too salty...I was afraid of that, as I was making it...I don't typically add salt... but, added some season salt and soy sauce... good for SO... too much for me... was edible, but won't be having leftovers...
Off tonight... no plans... just relaxing... still telling myself I'm going to get up, clean and organize... it's a good plan... just not happening...I'm just so unmotivated
Well, not sure if I'll be back, tonight...
Everyone have a good night...0 -
Any meatloaf is good meatloaf. I love meatloaf
Hope everyone had a good evening
Our recital was loooong but my boy did a great job. We ended up having Thai delivered after. Tomorrow is the last day of school so we'll have McDonalds for lunch.
I feel like I want to run tomorrow. But I might skate and they means super sore and tired legs if I do. I've been doing well with my latest restart. I need to keep the momentum1 -
Ali - sounds like a good evening... glad recital went well... my cousins little boy (8) started playing piano just a few months ago...I am impressed at how well he is doing...I played for years and was never as good as he is already... very proud of him..
Running or skating sound like a great day...I had recently started C25K... I made it to week 3, lost my job (worked at shelter and walked with dogs) and I haven't started, again... keep thinking I will get back to it... just not working out just yet...
Well, I should not have said anything... got called into work...I really wanted to say no, as I only got about 5 hrs of sleep and have been up since 1:00pm... have to work til 7:00am... it's only 1:00am and I'm already exhausted..the other girl called in... shocking... this is 3rd time in 2 weeks... she just had last 2 nights off... on the plus side, that means I get 40hrs this week, instead of just 32... so, gotta think of it that way... definitely gonna go home and crash, in morn...
Alright... back to work before I get too comfortable...0 -
Good morning!
Crazy week, I dunno, they keep telling us things will get calmer and less chaotic at work but then they dump yet more tasks on us and there's even more chaos.
First and second gym workout were great and I'm going again today. I know I said the goal is to go once a week per month, doesn't mean I can't go more often if I feel like it.
AOTD (yeah, I'm fashionably late) - I'll have a banana and an apple to snack on at work. We get free fresh fruit every week and I'm a cheapskate and rely on what's there. This week's delivery's looking gooood, lots of bananas, apples, plums, apricots...
Annie - Wow, the trouble with your neighbor sounds like it came straight out of a movie. I hope things will be better now, even though he didn't get arrested.
Lana - Good job logging. I know it can be hard to stick with it. Personally, I especially get encouraged on days when I know my choices weren't the greatest and it's hard to dodge the 'What's the point?' mentality.
Sara - You're right, it's not about the number on the scale. The whole package of being healthier and feeling better is important.
Okay...back to work. *waves*1 -
THURSDAY
Good morning.
Week a little off routine for me and I had to stare at calendar and ask myself what day it is. Finally used the newspaper to tell me........
Dog got me up a little early this morning - when I take her out the night before determines her morning outing.....
I am with Ali - love meatloaf - no such thing as bad meatloaf - maybe if it is seriously overcooked, but just means I have to chew it longer.
Exercise for me is walking so I have been making sure with the milder temps to get out at work.
Will lurk from work. Wave to all who follow.1 -

oh no did you make it through?
I really want meatloaf now.
It's the last day of school here for the summer. Hooray. it's a dreary, drizzly day which I'm sure is making my throat feel tender but I just saw two cardinals on the deck so it's a good day.
Hope everyone has a fantastic Thursday, it's Friday Eve!!!!1 -
Good morning ladies~~
Sara - Thanks for the heads up about the mailbox. Do you have a new landline phone or new cellphone with the caller ID? It's good stuff.
Dawn - Sorry for the surprise call-in to work. Maybe the other person is looking for another job?
Ali - Aren't cardinals the best? So pretty and they have happy chirps and songs. What part of the country do you live?
Whoa Kathy - that is SO amazing--the fresh free fruit is at work? You may have chaos, but the office manager is thoughtful and smart: healthy stuff on hand, and no one ever needs to be hungry and cranky!

Thursday
Day is already crazy at work. Yesterday I completely fell off the wagon at work due to a potluck and lots of desserts and sweets. Trying to stay strong today as the table in the break room is still full. I'm sure I wouldn't want to see the scale right now. I have been out of control! And I've got my parents coming to visit for a few days which usually equals a food fest. Argh! I really need to get my winter weight off before winter hits again! Good snacks packed today. Just need to keep my hands off the sweets!
DH forgot he had made an appt for the dog at the groomer yesterday - he thought it was today (didn't write it down or put it in his phone) and now they are booked up until after next week.
I wanted her cleaned up well before our company arrived. He'll take her and wash her himself - but we can't trim her nails and she really needs that done. But, it will have to wait.
Enjoyed a nice outdoor concert last night at a local park. Weather could have been a bit warmer, but it was still enjoyable.
Lana - looks like you are doing well with tracking and weight loss. Good for you!
Will lurk from work.

Lana - I live in Canada. We had a nest of Cardinals on our deck a few years ago and they always seem to come back for a visit. They're beautiful birds and the babies were so cute but man I was so worried something would come along and eat them. We had Peregrine Falcons hanging out in our giant 100 year old maple tree in the spring and I found a squirrel they had feasted on so ya I am glad the cardinals seem to be ok. For the record I live in the city and we get all this wildlife it's awesome1
-
Will read other posts in a moment - our company has free fruit on Wednesday mornings from 10 until its gone at the security desk. New this year and appreciated.
I am seeing Blue Jays around which is a nice change from the crows.
Tick tock - got to go to work.2 -
Dawn - did you make it through work ok? on second thought, dont answer that - go to bed and get some sleep!
My husband has his own Jeep modification and maintenance business so I can get work done on my Jeeps at a reasonable rate (a.k.a. free labor) We are members of several Jeep clubs so we get to travel and do a lot of offroading. We own 4 Jeeps, but I still drive a car to work everyday.
Annie - I too fell off the wagon last night. it was a wine & canvas fundraiser. the sweets and the wine put me waaaaaaay over! as far as the painting...well... the more wine you drink, the better it looks!
Work is about to pick up. Have more tasks/projects assigned. Will just keep chipping away, one chunk at a time.
Mmmmmmm...... all this talk about meatloaf........

Happy afternoon all. T minus 30 minutes until my boy is off school for the summer. I'm kind of excited because it means sleeping in and fun stuff like going to the museum or to the aquarium and walking along the lake.
I was hoping to get a run in because it will probably be my last for awhile but it was thundering so I did some crazy video with one legged burpees and other insane things. My butt better look spectacular.
@hickchic67 I've been curious about those paint nites. Everyone always makes such nice paintings. do they guide you or as you say you don't care because of the wine?
@gemwolf110 hope your fiancé agrees with the plan for walking sounds like a good way to start the day0 -
Annie - do they make nail files/emery boards for dogs?
Lana0 -
Lana - they do but if they are too long, dog will need nails clipped so that they dont curl into themselves (surgery)0
-
Good evening,
Frozen lasagna in oven, having lunch special at work tomorrow and that is a larger meal so ?? on dinner tomorrow.
Letter in mail - insurance will not use my medical group as of 01/2018, so I will need to do research is better to get new medical group or spend more money for what I have.....at least they gave me time.
I didnt walk dog for the time I do each morning until they changed my schedule, I like mornings it is quiet and not too crowded.
Dawn - one day at a time, one page a time it is possible.
Wishing all a good night. May fly by later.0 -
Oh man lasagna now... You people will be the death of me!!!!! All my faves mentioned0
-
Ali - amy's organic light and lean - good portion size and lower in sodium
Store no longer carries the amy's light and lean pizza - not sure if they dont make it or they dont carry it but I used to add chopped frozen broccoli and it was a nice compromise to calorie rich pizza.1 -
Mmmmm......Amy's does make good frozen meals. Thumbs up! I like their pasta bowls--I add leftover veggies to them, and they then make quite the dinner!

Yes...I survived... it was pretty rough around 5:00am..I crashed had when I got home... not sure why, but last couple days, been waking up at 1:00pm... but, I went back to sleep today... thank goodness... just hafta make it thru tonight and tomorrow, then have weekend off... hopefully
All our schools have been out for a month... they also start, mid August... which, I think is too early...
My Mom and Gma collect Cardinal things... such beautiful birds... Mom also loves Hummingbirds, as do I0 -
Lana - I think other girl is just young, immature and doesn't care... sadly... probably one of those "job hoppers" she will have worked 1 day, in over a week...I could not do that... mostly, because I could not survive financially... also, because I just wouldn't want to come back... she may be upset, as she got a day cut, when I was hired.. but, she was already calling in and not doing things right... so, it wasn't due to my getting hired...I just will never understand how people can just call in or quit... it's just not me
Sara/ Ali - I will hafta send care packages with Meatloaf, next time I make it
Annie - maybe, get in some extra walking while family is in town? I have same problem when I go home...we always have to eat at Olive Garden with Gma... and, there's usually at least one fast food meal in there, at some point... wherever you eat, maybe you'll still have the chance to make good choices... good thoughts coming your way..
Boss told me, I can eat any leftovers... so, I have been "sampling " a few things... nothing too bad... except...the cake I baked the other night... ugh..the pieces are small, and I stop myself at one... but, I really should just pretend it's not even there... it's so yummy, tho..she baked a cherry pie, tonight... luckily, I'm not big on fruit pies... unless it's Apple... so, I will probably do good at not eating any leftovers of that..
Alright...I need to get back to it...
Hope everyone had a great night

Good morning!
TGIF! Well I gotta work tomorrow but at least it's quiet on Saturdays and no extra tasks. Meeting a friend for coffee tonight. They also make food there and most of it is healthy and fresh, so dinner will probably be something from the menu there.
Lana - Yes, the fruit is paid for by my employer. Health-wise it isn't so bad here. We get a fruit delivery every Tuesday, a salad buffet on Wednesdays and free water. They also give bonuses out to people who quit smoking or switch to coming to work by bike.2 -
hey guys! i need an advice. i currently weigh 243 Ibs and I’m 5’10. i need to lose atleast 20Ibs in the next 30 days. how can i avoid gaining it back once and done and i decide to reduce my workout and slightly increase my calorie in take0
-
Good morning,
TGIF!!
Chisom - welcome! My only advice is to start a healthy program you are willing to do the rest of your life.
Dawn - leftovers? You are so lucky in that it might mean not having to cook, but then make sure to track what you eat....
Paper got here at 2am so dog thinks its time to go /food etc. - got the pit stop and made her wait for food.
They moved my neighbor at work, the one sitting next to her talks all day.....the person they moved in has a higher job and probably wont chat - I was warned by the Sup last year they were cracking down on the chatters.....our drama queen was not a happy camper yesterday.
Will lurk from work. Make it a great Friday.1 -
Hi everyone this weight loss thing is harder than i thought i currently weight 259, and I refuse to gain anymore weight. Im trying to eat healthier but at night after dinner i feel like im starving. I must admit last night i cheated and ate fried food. Any advice?0
-
Sara - leftovers=whatever they have for lunch/dinner/ desserts..I do track everything... good and bad... because of strange hours, I very seldom get all my calories for the day...I think I am... just doesn't look that way when tracking..
One thing I don't miss... chatters...I do admit, it's a little lonely... but, if it means I don't have to listen to people ramble on or all their drama, I am happy to be alone..
Another stormy morning here... supposed to last all day...I'm ok with it... except pup probably won't let me get good sleep...
Going to try to get to sleep, now while it's quiet...
Have a great day all!1 -
Dawn - I am with you!! Rather hear the ringing in my ears of silence than the fertilizer of someone else's chatter.
Dallas - after dinner is hard for a lot of us, eat a piece of fruit with some peanut butter/hard boiled egg/ piece of cheese/ even a bowl of cereal with milk is less calories (okay some cereals maybe not.....) than fried food.
If this is true - do something after dinner = walk/ knit / chat with friends to keep you busy.
2 -
Happy Friday!!! It's Canada day tomorrow so all diets are out the window I guess and I'm super sore from yesterday's workout so not so sure about exercise today haha but I'll try to get something in.
Isn't boredom eating the worst? why do we do it?
@DallasLady87 try occupying your time with something else or had a fizzy drink it often helps me2 -
Chisom -
First post?
That's gotta be a typo.
20+ pounds in 30 days?
If it is not a typo, you have come to the wrong board/thread.
Ladies, the Cabana Boys have a nice Happy Hour lined up for all of us~~
