Welcome to the group Joana!! I joined this group not too long ago and now I am hooked! Everyone here has become my habit and it has helped tremendously!
Queen waves from freezing NKY!!!!
Is this only on Apple? I looked on Google Play, but wasn't sure which one... thanks for the motivation! Now, if I can get started and stick to it!0 -
Sara - you sound like me... even the thought of hurting myself and I hurt myself... and, I have the same priorities... can't afford new pants ... hope yer ok..0

Hi Joana - welcome aboard! This particular board is tremendously helpful and supportive. No guilt, no recriminations- just support. An occasional gentle kick in the “kitten” if we are feeling a bit too sorry for ourselves but done with kindness and understanding. And cabana boys...
Waves to all,
Tess2 -
Welcome Joana! This is a great place to come for encouragement and motivation! Stop by often!
Kathryn- I'm hoping to sell Scentsy for awhile... not a salesperson, so guess I shall see...I only have a few customers, but they are repeat... if your DD and DIL don't have a consultant, you are more than welcome to give them my info...the more merrier!

im not sure if it is just apple, I would think it wouldn't be. the app icon is a 7 and the name of the creator(?) is Perigee. Seven-7 minute workout, see if you can find it that way. let me know if you do, would love to support!1 -

Good evening,
Knee is wrapped in my "ice" gel for awhile, no pain, just being careful. I am wondering if those of us who are "falling apart" - is it because we try and do too much? try to keep up with the younger people? ask too much of ourselves? Just wondering.
Dawn - thinking of combining the christmas spruce with the apple/cedar/cinnamon...
My my, "kitten" came up before I got to post - we are censored and things/body parts/ foul names get called "kitten" so I was walking home thinking of this post, knowing "kitten" would pop up and yes it was Tess my "kitten" in crime who beat me to it. Problem was I forgot if Kitten was a person or thing. Lets see if I can remember.....
Frozen lasagna in oven. Dog at my feet. World is pretty okay. With any luck I can be reading a romance novel while icing my knee again later with dog in my lap.2 -
Kristina - I think I found it... it doesn't say HIIT, does it? Is it animated, kinda...the one I found, has Challenges, connect with friends... loses hearts if you miss a day...1
-
Sara - sounds like a good combo... interested to know how it smells... please let me know... curious minds want to know... hope your knee feels better... yes, I do believe we do too much... expect too much of ourselves... along with, not eating right, not taking good care of myself, I know this is the cause of at least part of my issues... getting old is not as fun as I thought it would be...0
-
Dawn - could Kathryn have an online party through you and get "credits" towards her own purchase?
2 -
Sara - yes she definitely could! See, told you I'm not a salesperson....I thought of mentioning it, but remembered how hectic things had been for Kathryn, I decided against it...I should just open my mouth...thank you very much for bringing it out of me...
Kathryn - you can do an online party, and earn discounted product with a qualifying party .. all you would have to do, is share posts on FB, if you are on there... or, solely online, I would set it up and you invite people to come to my website... just a thought...even if not for Christmas, after first of year...the deadline for Christmas Delivery is the 18th, so not sure if it would be enough time for Christmas...
See, I feel like I'm pushy... this is why I can't get my business going...I feel bad....1 -
But you can help each other- why is that pushy?2

Tuesday night
Crazy, crazy, crazy! That is my life right now. Holiday baking has been completed and nearly all of the Christmas cards are in the mail. Packaging up gifts to mail to my nephews in Washington state and a little gift for my mom who is currently stationed in Houston, TX, with my dad's job. Still need to buy stocking stuffers for my boys and gifts for the parents who live here. Lots of wrapping to do.
Work is busy but I try not to let it get to me. DS in college will finish the semester tomorrow night. Yay! Proud of him pulling straight A's. With all of the credits he completed during high school, he will technically be a junior at the beginning of spring semester. The younger two kids (8th grade and 2nd grade) keep me hopping with their homework and activities. They start their Christmas break on December 22nd and it can't come soon enough!
This is my last week of physical therapy. It hasn't cured me, but I am stronger and maybe will be able to ward off any major pain or flare ups by continuing the exercises at home and at the gym. I have to go buy a foam roller to help release some of the tightness in my hip flexors and piriformus muscles. I'll miss going to PT but won't miss the co-pays.
Experiencing some frustration as we learned our insurance plan is changing pharmacy benefit managers and the new company will no longer cover my daughter's Adderall which she takes for ADHD. So, have a call in to her doctor to discuss other options. Grrr! She struggles enough but her Adderall gives her just enough support without any bad side effects. I worry that changing meds will upset the apple cart at school and/or also cause unpleasant side effects.
I know I sound like a broken record - but today is Day 2 of no pop. I tried to go for Day 2 of no coffee, as well, but ended up having a couple of small cups with sugar free creamer. Second day of no candy or sweets at work and very little at home. Did a no-no by having a grilled cheese sandwich with my tomato soup tonight, though. (Trying to avoid breads/potatoes/pasta right now.) I did make it to the Y tonight while DD was at tae kwon do and walked 2 miles on the track, so that was a positive.
29 days until we move. We have packed quite a bit and put a lot in storage but feel we can't do much more until after Christmas. It's going to get CRAZY after that! Still nervous about the bigger house payment and working hard to get DH on board with planning and sticking with a budget. I used to be SO GOOD and planning and following a budget and putting $$ in savings - but over 23 years of marriage he has kind of derailed me. Honestly sometimes looking at our budget and bills gives me anxiety and I don't know why. It shouldn't. So, working on that.
Sara - I love your memes about Tuesday. Great job with the WI! Hope your knee feels better soon. I can totally relate to the feeling of "falling apart."
Welcome to every one new! And hello to all the people I've chatted with in the past. Sorry I've been so hit-or-miss lately. It's just life right now.

YYYYEEEESSSSS!!!! and its like a teal color!!1 -
I do not think you are being pushy with your scentsy. it would be no different than a store sending out their weekly flyer showing scented wax bars for sale. at least if we purchase from you we are actually helping you and your business not some over sized money hungry corporation. I would prefer helping a small local business thrive than corporations. I'm trying to sell the 7 app to everyone and I don't even make money from it!!!
I was forbidden from buying more right now as I have two scentsy warmer boxes full of bars lol but coconut lemongrass is my favorite!!!1 -

I eat great during the day but once I get home I can't resist stupid food like handfuls of peanuts or the old fashioned candy jar sitting inconspicuously next to the couch. or the tuna casserole I made two nights ago.
my age is kicking my butt unfortunately, according to my doctor, I may be 38 but I have the back, hips and knees of an 70 year old who has been in 2 major car accidents. I will be darned if I don't push myself to do what a 25 yr old can do!!! hear me roar ladies!!!!!1 -
WEDNESDAY
Good morning,
Knee is doing okay and that is a nice outcome. Getting on floor to deal with dog/leash - dicey but I may pick her up and leash her on a higher spot.
Romance novel went out the door when I realized my computer and my security program were not working together - chatted online with rep and I needed an updated version- 2 1/2 hours later (set alarm to wake up later) and all is okay. "Calgon take me away" kind of evening. So I set hot water bottle, realized I needed clean socks - ran load of wash - had clean/warm sheets with a hot- ish water bottle when I finally got there. Comfort ladies- dont forget to ration yourself some.
Oatmeal waiting, wave to all who follow.1 -
Needing some puppy prayers today. DH called and said Callahan was hit by a SUV. Lots of road rash but lungs and heart ok. No broken legs or ribs but did have dislocated hip. They were able to pop it back in but there is not enough socket left there to hold it securely. He is scheduled for surgery to repair it.
Tasting blood from biting my tongue, trying not to admonish DH. I have been on him ever since the obedience training ended to keep working with Cal and keep an eye on him at all times. (DH works from home, is with Cal all day) He hasn't worked with him much at all since training over. He wasn't watching Cal or keeping him close when he went to put the trash out at end of the lane this morning. Cal was running back and forth across road and got hit by an SUV coming over the hill.

Yay! I will download and see if I can get started. It's great that you "sell" something you love/ believe in...I am that way about Scentsy...I just can't "push" it... I've posted so many things on FB, most people just ignore... if I talk to them in person, they just walk away... it's very discouraging. Sara was my very first customer and I greatly appreciate it...I don't do in home parties... mostly because I haven't earned enough to get product.. and, I don't know enough people close to me, that are willing... so, I try to convince people to do online or FB parties... it would be so simple... and, you only have to have 5 people, willing to spend $50, and you have a qualifying party and earn product...
Ok, I'm rambling and need to get back to work. Thank you all for your support and encouragement. That's why I love it here..
Have a great day!1 -
Kathryn - Sending bushels of Puppy Prayers for your fur baby. When is the surgery?
Lana0 -
Hi all,
Sorry I have been so out of the loop lately, just so much going on. I do have a NSV to share...I have progressed from running 5k in the mornings to 10k!
only for about a week now but I am so happy to see I can do it even though it takes me about 90 min to complete. Tomorrow is my last day of work before I take my holidays so we'll see if I am dissaplined enough to keep up the 10k a day while at home for the rest of Dec.
Kinda thinking of joining Stepbet in Jan...but wondering if anyone has done it & what their experience was. I think it would be great to earn $ while doing all this walking/running
I hope you are all doing good, I haven't had a chance to read all the posts and just may catch up on my down time.
Welcome to all who are new and big waves to everyone!
~Saltine~3 -
Kathryn - good puppy thoughts! Oh my, that has got to be so scary! I know, he is injured, but it could have been so much worse.. hope surgery goes well and he's all better, very soon... hugs0
-
Saltine - that is awesome! Great NSV for you! Good to see you!0
-
Kathryn, the kitties and I are sending positive puppy healing thoughts your way. Deep breaths...no doubt DH is feeling terrible right now.
Saltine! Great to hear from you and congrats on the amazing NSV. Enjoy your holiday.
Sara, thanks for the reminder to give ourselves comfort. Needed that right now!
Dawn, feel free to post info about Scentsy here periodically, just to keep it top of mind for us. Don’t think of it as pushing - think of it as sharing information about a great product that can bring us comfort (right, Sara?) and peace. If we had a problem and you knew the solution, you’d tell us, right? Think of Scentsy as providing information about a solution that helps our well-being.
Lana, are you in NYC or NC now? I’ve lost track...fortunately, the C-boys seem to be plentiful no matter where you are!
Waves to all,
Tess1 -
Good evening,
Okay where my last post went ??? I did take bandage off and is all good - can use 'normal' size one. Chose not to take shower and used kitchen sink for hair/face and "kitten" areas.
I emailed lady at work and wrote I will NOW reward myself with food and meant to write, NOT reward myself with food. So I ended up with a treasure of cookies ( I gave 2 to a coworker). See the subconscious always wins.....
Cubicle update - there is another move opportunity so the issue is not if but where. Me doing the dance of joy
or those who remember this show
okay hot water bottle time and cuddle up with dog.
Kathryn sending good dog thoughts/hugs - let us know.
Wishing all a good night.
2 -
Sara - I love that show...hehe... hopefully, you'll be able to do the dance of joy, soon!
Tess - thanks...I am always cautious about posting, since we're here to help motivate our weight loss journey, not advertise for our personal business...I am greatly appreciative of Sara for letting me post as well as ordering from me...I guess, I could always just end my post with my website? Or would that be annoying?
Lana - good question... where are you? NYC, yes? I see lots and lots of snow, there... if you are there, stay safe and stay warm!
Got talked into working 4 hrs at last job, tomorrow...I truly don't want to... but, I really need the money... so, I will survive... not sure about weekend plans, now...Sis seems to have contracted some kind of bug... sore throat, earache, low fever... she thinks she'll be better by Fri... guess I will see... I'm honestly ok, either way... I'm excited to spend time with her, for first time in 14 years (Ex SIL) at the same time, staying home this weekend is perfectly fine with me...
Tomorrow evening is clinic Christmas "party" ... dinner at a local restaurant...I want to be good, cuz I know if I go to Sis' I won't be making good choices... but, I have never ate at this restaurant, and I've heard it's really delicious... going to be a tough one... gotta stay as string as possible... no dessert for sure...hehe
Thank you all for all your words of encouragement... it means a lot to me... have a great night...

Dawn!
I love your post above because it has a cool typo in it: You said you want to be a string as possible at that restaurant, and I think that you will make "skinny" "string" choices!
Sara!
I belly laughed out loud when I read about YOUR typo that caused the avalanche of treats coming your way. The best intentions....... Ha ha!
Very happy to hear that there are relocation choices for you at work.
Waving to Saltine - good to see you here my dear. Glad you could stop by! Congrats on the NSV!
Tess I am in NYC through all the holidays. Going south on Jan. 8th, but do not know for how long.....hopefully at least a month. I need warmer weather, even if it's only a few degrees warmer.
See you all tomorrow~~ Kathryn you keep us posted.
