Sara - I have not looked at your weather lately--has it been chilly? Have a good weekend putting your meals together for yourself.
Cuddle up with Miss Tillie and have a good evening~~
I'm off to find something on Netflix to watch while knitting. Maybe more of Death in Paradise--I can look at the knitting and the screen with that one.
Waves to anyone who stops by later~~

Wave to all who follow. BBL1 -
hi all!
just wanted to stop in and say hi!
because of this group I was able to continue with my start. I finally put my mind and soul in to my health and its working.
1/1/18 I was at 192.6. By 1/29/18 I was 178.6.
I am working out daily, I started running, I watch every thing I eat.
ITS WORKING!!!!
thank you ladies! you all have been so amazing!!!3 -
Kristina! So glad you stopped by today. Your stats are amazing! Congratulations! Keep it going!
Hi Sara - the Chinese Chicken salad sounds interesting. If this is a new recipe for you, I hope you like it. I re-read your post: I hope the store had all the ingredients you needed.
Dawn - I saw that movie listed on Apple TV, and I put it on my List. Good to know you saw it and it was worth it.
I had no energy today, for no good reason, so I did not get any exercise in. I'm just not feeling right. Here's hoping that tomorrow is a better day.
Everyone have a good evening.

Lana - making up new recipe - did find all the harder items. Glad you could relax. If you do not feel better, should you see a Dr?
Dinner done, will make a little more tea, curl up with dog and watch dvd for rest of night.
Wishing all a good night.1 -
Sara - thrift store shopping is the best kind! I went thru my closet and reduced it by just over half...I will be donating most to shop for local rescue... felt good to clear out some things... was not easy, tho...
Lana - hope you feel better soon...I have days often, where I have no energy or desire to do anything... definitely go to Dr if not better, soon...I really enjoyed the movie... it was kinda tough to watch at times, the truth can be very hurtful... and, many people are blind to what the truth really is...
Kristina - good to see you! Glad you are doing well! I finally downloaded an App... but, haven't started yet... stop by and see us again!1 -
SUNDAY
Good morning, dog up and sitting by bowl of food, more ZZZ for me.
Groceries and then home. No TV connection so no Super Bowl.
Dawn - good job with your closet - my motto is if I dont have a hanger I cant buy anything.....
Dog wanted to take a 2nd walk yesterday and it was nice and sunny so I figured okay enjoy the sunshine - get more walking in - will never reach Saltine's mileage, but more is an improvement.

Good morning Ladies~~
One eye is open.....LOL!
The weather is pitiful. Just look at the radar map. Ugh.
I'm thinking about taking the umbrella and getting out there for a walk, even if it IS raining. Can I actually do this?
We will see.
Weigh in not great - I'll blame it on the salt in the Schwan's food I've been eating.....

SUNDAYS ARE SO HARD!!!!!!1

Hi all - finally feeling somewhat human again. Still not 100% but so much better. Actually can’t wait to go back to work tomorrow after being out sick an entire week. Fortunately it wasn’t the flu (tested negative) but a bad virus.
Weather is cold, rainy/snowing in DC. Perfect day to stay inside and not care about who wins the Super Bowl.
Waves to all,
Tess1 -
Sara - great motto.. now, if only I could stick to that one, myself...
Lana- feeling better? Maybe, that should determine whether you should take a walk in the rain...
Tess - glad you are feeling better and, didn't have the flu... don't overdo it0 -
Hi DLM and Tess and Dawn and Sara ~~
Just a quick check-in while I'm thinking of it.
I got a very short walk in; better than none. Am feeling back to normal.
Everybody have a good evening~~ Waves to anyone who stops by later on.

Good evening,
Chicken is cooling and will be shredded, quiche is in oven. I will make tomorrow's salad tonight with any luck before the "betty crocker" spell wears off.
Had windows open as it was so nice here. I signed my lease and read about how airing out the place helps keep mold away..... so 2 things at once.
Tess- glad you are doing better. Still look for comfort when you get home from work.
Lana - glad you got a little walk. I felt a little off - then realized I drank way too much caffeine. Chugged a lot of water and luckily that helped.
10 more hearts to work to donate. here is the pattern as I have trouble posting pictures :

It makes a garland and I meant to - but decided not to decorate too much.

MONDAY
Good morning - down 0.8 - down is down and works for me.
I wonder how many people had drinking games watching the Super Bowl? High score on both sides. Glad for some new blood at the top.
Saltine- I reread your post - your mother would be proud of you. Know that.
Will let you know how Chinese Chicken salad goes today. Trial run.
Wave to all who follow. Make it your best Monday.1 -
Sara - great WI... down is down and that is good...0

*waves to everyone*
Hi all! I am finally back out in the world!
Have been down for 2 weeks after testing positive for flu which then led to sinus & ear infections which led to the beginnings of pneumonia. After 3 trips to the doctor and way more meds than I ever wanted to take, I am back up and running. Saturday was my first day without any fever. Still feeling weak and tired but soooooooo much better than I have been the last 2 weeks!
The flu has taken a lot of lives in Indiana - too many of them children. Don't know why its so much worse this year than in previous years.
As soon as I got in the office this morning, I got out the disinfecting wipes and lysol spray and cleaned every surface, handle, and switch! Luckily, I had my work computer at home so I am caught up on most things work related. Not sure I will make it through an entire day in the office, but am trying.
I had dropped over 10 pounds the first week. DH, bless his heart, got me all my favorite sweets in an effort to get me to eat. Which it eventually did and I eventually ate ALL of them which popped weight right back up. Well, that and finally getting rehydrated...
Sure wish the weather was warmer for my first time out of the house though. It was snowing and a blistering 4 degrees when I came in this morning.
There has been a lot going on in this group in my absence. I am still trying to read all the posts!
*whistling for Cboys to bring hot toddies, a nice blanket, and some foot massages while I catch up on posts*

Good morning all,
Lana~ Yes, I live in Canada, I actually track in miles then convert to km because it sounds I like I do more when I say 5km instead of 3.11 miles...hahaha
Kristina~ Great job & keep up the amazing work you are doing!
Sara~ Great wl and excellent job with the hearts!!!! Thank you so very much for this, it means so much
"Saltine- I reread your post - your mother would be proud of you. Know that."
With my walking I started out very slow, I like numbers so ended up turning this into a little game I play with myself to try to out beat my last goal. When I started I took my first month of walking, saw how many km I was doing then up'd it a couple km per week for the second month, I did this a few times then I took the totals of the 2 or 3 months averaged them out so if it came to 123 km then I would up it to 130 km. The point to me was to encourage the walking so I didn't want to give myself an outrageous number then feel defeated when I couldn't reach it & was thoroughly impressed with myself when I surpassed the monthly number I set for myself which then made me believe I could add on more km for the next month.
I ended up making Apple & oat treats for my fur babies this weekend, not as big of a hit as the last kinds were, but they still ate them...lol1 -
* jogging through, tossing hat, bag, and towel onto favorite lounge chair *
Be back soon!

Chinese salad is working, will make again. At work. bbl.1

Good evening,
Beauty of having "ready" meals whether it be oatmeal or quiche is that I then have more time to do other things.
Lady at work who did not get the promotion is angry enough to move on eventually. I reminded her she has a wedding in 2 months that was more important and to focus on her health in the meantime. She will take her breaks again.
Wishing all a good night.2 -
TUESDAY
Good morning, dog up and fed.
Sinus cavities not my friend this morning. Rain here would be appreciated......
Quiche for lunch - dinner up in the air.

Hello All~~
I'm still on the first cup of mostly-decaf coffee, trying to wake up and get caught up on the boards, which I'm not sure I can do without a printer. I get confused as to who said what, so I may miss something.
Betty Crocker (Sara) - Congratulations on great weigh in! Your planning and kitchen-cooking smarts is paying off indeed!
The Ravelry Hearts you are making are so cute! Nice job!
Kathryn - I was worried about not seeing you for so long, and now we know why. How terrible to be that sick for so long - with a fever! I hope that you continue to get back to normal. Stay warm and hydrated as you are getting back to work.
Saltine - Ah Canada! Love your sensible country!
Your view of exercise is very smart - with the goal thing.
I would love some Apple and Oat treats. LOL!
Stay warm up there!
Waving to Dawn and Annie and DLM and Tess and Kristina. I wonder how Samuels is doing over in South Africa.....
Welcomes to anyone new who stops by~~

Waves back!2

Good evening,
Dinner was a tortilla, cheese and sour cream. Ate too much candy.....
Supremely unimpressed with the majority of my coworkers lack of generosity, so the person who left a wonderful Valentine's Day bag of goodies on my desk will get a nice present from me. I think/hope she drinks tea.
Otherwise its -
and 
to the rest of my coworkers...... like it is anything new.
Wishing all a good night.1 -
Sara - It is great that someone left you a bag of goodies! Enjoy them, and the tea is a nice idea.
Sleep well my dear. See you at the Beach Club tomorrow.

Vigorous waves to everyone!
Kathryn, so sorry you had the flu and relieved you’re getting better! I only had a bad sinus infection (doctor checked - no flu!) and I’m still wiped out. I’m not usually this affected by a cold so am not being a very patient patient! Hope you continue to recover. Be kind to yourself.
Sara, I’m glad a co-worker surprised you with a kind gesture. Well deserved!
Lana, thinking of you in NC. Looks like we’re getting some bad weather tomorrow- hope it bypasses you.
Rest well, all. Tomorrow is another day.

WEDNESDAY
Good morning,
Tess! Glad you are doing better. Even the smallest things can wipe us out.
Cafe today so lunch prep was easy. I fell asleep last night before I started knitting. Meant to be.
Wave to all who follow and lurking from work.1 -
Good morning Sara~~
Good morning Tess~~
Yes, today will be rain in NC and snow/ice in NYC. I am assuming that LaGuardia airport will regroup well enough, so that my flight to NYC Thursday is no problem.
I have got to figure out how to shift the calories in my day towards the second half of the day because I am finding myself needy-snacks-hungry between 7PM and bedtime at 11PM. I had a good breakfast of eggs and cheese, lunch was a black bean, corn, and tomato salad; dinner was a piece of pot roast (very high protein) and mixed vegetables. I had calories left over for some cereal in the evening, but got off-plan and made popcorn on the stovetop--at least it was no-salt, and then at 9 or 10pm I was hungry again and had some sardines.
There was no "junk food" in my food all day before the popcorn.....
I did walk 2.5 miles and I ate the calories.
Hopefully today will be a better day. I plan to stick to a previous MFP successful day that I have printed up, and when the "hunger" strikes during the day, I'll have a cup of Celestial Seasonings tea and hit the jigsaw puzzle.
Just trying to get a toe-hold on this rock face.
