Holy cow! 48 posts since I checked in on Friday!
Been a busy weekend as the club gears up for the convention next weekend. not sure how much i will be checking in this week as we rush to get everything set up. unfortunately, was in the red all weekend with grabbing food while running.
have been feeling kinda puny. have bad headache, not one of my regular migraines but one that is not going away and makes me not want to do anything.
Ash - pshew! just looking at the map of your walk made me tired! you will be kicking some Zion butt!
that goal setting project for your students is fantastic!
Sara - i will have to try making quiche and freezing it. no one else in the house will eat it. need a good fried rice recipe. i have yet to make fried rice that tastes good.
Lana - glad to hear your friend is feeling better. i can identify with your stress, especially after my last year.
saltine - how are your blisters doing? my feet are hurting just thinking about it!
tess - glad to know weather is improving for you. it was sunny but chilly this weekend. of course, its March Madness time and there is ALWAYS some sort of winter/ice storm that hits during boys sectionals.
Dawn - shared the Scentsy link with a couple people. maybe they will place orders to get my party to qualify!
Well, bedtime. Am trying to get used to the whole daylight savings time. once upon a time, Indiana never had to worry about it. we just recently started doing it. wish we never started.

Hi guys!
Hope you don’t mind my stopping in. I’ve been on Weight Watchers for a little over three months, and it’s been really great! But I had my first gain last week. I’m finding it harder to stay motivated between meetings. All of my friends and family who started Weight Watchers with me have since quit, and I have few people to talk to and celebrate with. Connect is amazing for inspiration, but it moves a bit too fast for me to form long-lasting relationships. It would be really cool to camp out here and get to know other WW members.

Funny you mention about your state and Daylight saving time... they were taking about it on radio station I listen to... they said, they're actually trying to pass a law that no one has to follow it..
That would be great...I have so many clocks, there's always at least 2 that never get changed...lol
That would be great if you found a couple people to order... you are so very close to qualifying.. $63 literally that close Thank you again for having a party... it really has helped me... 0 -
Welcome Shelby! This is a wonderful community - very welcoming and encouraging. I’ve found d it helpful to keep a “cheat sheet” of everyone’s screen name and actual name if they use it. I’m Tess and I live in the Washington DC area (Lana and I share weather patterns).
Ash, what a walk! Like Kathryn, I’m tired just looking at the map! Thanks for sharing it - it’s fun to picture you walking determinedly up and down those hills.
Kathryn, glad you had a good weekend but sorry about your persistent headache. Could it be related to the flu you had - a lingering virus/sinus infection?
Lana, glad you had a good visit with your friend. I’m sure it gave her a wonderful boost.
Felt very productive today - laundry and cooking for the dinner and freezer. I baked off two sweet potatoes and four baking potatoes, then mashed them together and frozen six little packets for sides for future dinners. Then cooked up diced bell peppers, sweet onions and tomatoes to be a base for future meals (now I can add rice or noodles as well as a variety of protein.)
I’m missing that hour we lost last night but I will welcome it back in the fall! In the meantime, lots of lovely sunny days to look forward to.
Sweet dreams Lana, Sara, Ash, Dawn, Kathryn, Shelby, Saltine and anyone else running by. C-boys, rest up now - it’s going to be a busy week!

MONDAY
Good morning.
Weigh in is disgusting. Not my highest on Myfitnesspal, but close.....this is why I dont weigh myself during the week as it irritates me - I cheated and weighed. More walking for me.
As I pack my bag to go to work, protein bars and a Nugo cookie may not be my best option,but it keeps the urge to get potato chips from the cafeteria. Have readypack fruit/veg snacks for every work day.
Kathryn - 48 missed posts has it been that long or were we a chatter box this weekend?
Wave to all who follow. Lurking from work. Oatmeal is ready must scoot.1 -
*tossing hat and bag onto lounge chair for later* Running to doctor appointment.
Lana1 -
Sara - when I logged in last night it said 48 posts, and I had just checked in on Friday! so I guess its a case of chatterboxes! LOL Love it!! Which protein bars are you using?
Tess - i dont think the headache is sinus related, or at least I took my sinus meds and no relief. i think it is more stress/tension/tight muscles. have been trying my best to stretch & move to ease it up.
Dawn - glad the party helped. just wish it had been one with more orders for you! hey, how are you doing with lunches at work? is there room in the fridge there for you after all? have you been able to keep your food to yourself at home? (i still love the idea of labeling them "stool sample" and "bacteria culture" and such to keep everyone away! LOL)
In all this convention ruckus, tax season, and work - totally forgot license plates are due! oopsie! crossing fingers that I can get it done before we get pulled over!
Also forgot to weigh in this morning in my mad rush to get ready.1 -
Kathryn, I am eating Kind Protein bars - not as much protein lower sugar and no why protein. I saw quest and the artificial sweetener they use is not familiar to me, so I chose not to try. Hope your license plate issue gets resolved - can you go in person and get it done faster?
Who is the March Madness watchers? I have one word - Gonzaga.0 -
Quick hi from school. Planning period is now. Classroom observations are tomorrow for school accreditation review. I was expecting it today. I’m a little nervous, but I’m going to rest in the peace that I’m not the only one they are observing.
Will get back after school.

@Ashrenalls I'm a middle school teacher too! 7th and 8th grade social studies. I'm normally pretty good at work - drinking lots of water, walking, snacking on good, healthy options. I struggle when I get home. I think I need a more substantial breakfast and lunch, so I don't just graze. Because while I feel full at work (when I'm really busy), I convince myself I'm actually starving when I get home. It's tough! I'm also recently married, and live with my husband. I love walking/jogging, skiing, Zumba, and I'm getting into strength training. I also play video games, cosplay, and all that fun stuff.
@LanaCabana537 Hey! Sure! I'm from Western Michigan. I introduced myself a bit up there ^, but I do have fur babies! My puppy (Riker), my kitty (Castiel), my chinchilla (Chel), and my guinea pig (Gilligan). I'll attach a few pictures for you later, when my lunch break isn't running out! I could talk about my little ones all day. With the exception of Chel, they're all rescues, and I love them something fierce.
@Tilliesmommy1 @arniedog74 @tlsb2016 Hello! Thank you for the warm welcome! Tillies, the SW is "starting weight." I didn't necessarily start my journey at my highest point. I just use it for calculating how much weight I lose deliberately.
So I'm a little worried. I had a great week, and worked out really hard last week, and I was up four pounds on the scale this morning. I'm really hoping I'm retaining water from my tough workouts, but I hope I can ditch it before WW weigh in this week. I'm chugging water to wash it out of my system, but I don't know if it is enough.

oops messed up at work and waiting for help. what a monday - hope your apt goes well Lana - xxghost (at work cant flip around too much) think long term some weeks the scale makes no sense.1

Every little bit helps with Scentsy... and, I can keep a party open as long as I want... that's a good thing...I have been keeping some food at work... just hafta make room... but, at least I have food and don't hafta spend money on lunch every day...
I was literally 1 Day late with my Tags and got pulled over... it really frustrates me, as I see cars all the time, months past their date... this is why I'm the good kid.. when I do anything wrong, I get caught... fingers crossed for you that you can get it taken care of before anyone notices...0 -
Shelby - Welcome! my sister and niblings live on the left side of the mitten - White Lake, Whitehall, Montague area.
I had a chinchilla years ago. Sweetest, softest little furball. I was forced to give her away when I had moved. Still miss her after all these years.
I always do better at work than when I am at home. At work, too busy to grab anything to snack on. At home, its too easy to grab something to snack on.
Sara - i haven't used Kind bars in awhile. there was actually a bulletin out discouraging eating them due to some could create a false positive on certain drug tests. i just prefer Quest due to lower carb & cal to higher protein ratio. best do some research on sweeteners if you are sensitive to the different ones. dont want to take any chances with a reaction.
well, back to work.....1 -
Hi Ladies~~
I am very fuzzy-brained today, and so when I read your posts, and then scroll down to write something I forget what I was going to say. So big hugs for everyone from me.
Ash - you remind me of the Seven Hills of Rome - I don't even know if that's a real thing. But for you, you have the Hills of Oklahoma!! Keep on working towards your goals!
Sara - I have to now go and look up what is March Madness and Gonzaga...... The Cabana Boys are cute, but they don't have all the answers it seems.
Lana1 -
Seven hills of Rome and seven hills of San Franciso1

Hello all - glad Monday is over. Cold and overcast here in DC.
Sara, DH and I are big March Madness fans. We’ll hopefully have a bracket challenge at work. I haven’t picked my favorite yet but may have to go with UVA given the Virginia connection.
Trying to convince myself it’s not too cold to go to the gym. BBL

Good evening,
Found a quote from Becks that applies to Shelby - You should expect occasional weigh gain or plateaus, even if you are doing everything right. p248 - The Beck Diet Solution.
Wishing all a good night.2 -
The accreditation team that is visiting us is so amazing and they love our school. I feel a little less worried about tomorrow.
Shelby, guinea pigs! I have two in my classroom. I love those little furry pigs. And I LOVE middle school. I never ever expected to want to teach this grade. I wanted to teach upper high school.
Dinner tonight was breaded chicken and mashed potatoes with my workout buddy....who BAILED on me tonight to make lesson plans for tomorrow. #lame
But guess what, this exhausted chick went anyway. Worked on my shoulders, abs, and a little on my back.
I plan to walk the hills of OK again Friday. Because of this accreditation season being so hectic and stressful, my boss is taking out the staff to a fancy restaurant and the giving us Friday off!! How amazing is that!
Ok, I’m going to try to get to bed early tonight. I think I slept about 4 hours last night. That is no bueno for me.
Hugs!

TUESDAY
Good morning, Dog up and fed. FB is being "dinky" stupid again. Lovely
Young lady who drives me to appointments has a birthday today- so luckily I wrote it down stuck it on her present. Of course, that does not guarantee anything, but in this case it did. NSV !! Take what I can get.
Used travel pillow last night to see if I would sleep better - I did once I got used to it. Wish it wasnt so hot to use in the summer.
Wishing all a good day. Wave to all who follow.2 -
Sara - how is the travel pillow different? is there a different kind of case you can put on it to make it feel cooler for you in summer?1

.......running through again......
My days are just jammed! Curses.

Kathryn, it is like wearing a doughnut around your neck, depending on how big/bulky it is - I will look into a hand towel in the summer.1

just saying 1 -
....just checking back in to touch the magic will power rock on the beach......
I logged all my food today and I'm something like 400 calories in the red. Oooops. I guess I'll just have an apple and some milk for a snack tonight, and do better tomorrow.
Shelby - gains happen. Is it TOM? Salty food? Maybe it is the workouts. If you overdid anything, your muscles could be holding some water. Soldier on my dear--it will all come off soon.
Dawn - You and me both with the always getting caught. Sorry about that story about your tags.
Sara - how many more days is it until the DNA tests are back about the dog doo? My life is pretty sad right now that this is what I am looking forward to hearing about!
I never knew what a chinchilla was! How cute they are!
Waves and hugs to Kathryn and Tess and Missy and Saltine and Ash and anyone else who stops by later on~~
Lana1 -
Good evening,
Teriyaki chicken in toaster oven. Looking for comfort without food. Hot shower and heating pad will help.
Lana - that is sad that you are on the edge of your chair waiting for canine dna results, we need to send you a cboy just to distract you.
Lady making 50 chemotherapy bags came to work with paperwork and some items I ordered (cosmetics). She is coming back to work next week - so I will not have to worry how to get the hearts to her. She looks very tired so I hope she gets a lot of rest.
Heartburn today, post nasal drip and not enough water...... I made my physical appointment earlier in the day next month so I dont have to deal with rush hour traffic. Took the whole day off. Heartburn and blood pressure meds.... the list may be adding up before I even see the doctor again.
Will spend too much time on phones tomorrow. Not my favorite thing but must be done.
Wishing all a good night. Stay warm and safe out there.1 -
Earlier today I composed an entire post, but then hit done instead of post reply. I. Hate. That.
I didn’t have time to rewrite the entire post so here I am speech to text posting because I don’t have the energy to type out the stank post.
This is been a pretty good day. I was observed during a class that I wasn’t quite prepared for. But it was OK.
Sloppy Joes for lunch with macaroni salad and a green salad. It was really good; our new dining hall manager is really good cook.
Overall my eating today has been a bust. And I haven’t worked out. I got up a bit late, and I didn’t have breakfast. Or coffee. Until 11 AM. Oh well tomorrow’s a new day.
Sara-I hope you get to feeling better. I’m glad that you got your service project taken care of.
Lana/Shelby-I looked into getting a chinchilla but they were way too expensive, so that’s why I got guinea pigs instead. But the chinchillas were insanely adorable.
OK I’m going to try for an early bedtime again tonight.
Good night, all!
-Ash1 -
Ash- I do that more times than I like to admit...I dunno why that "Done" is right in my line of sight..0

Good Wednesday Morning, y’all.
My weight was up this morning, but I’m not losing hope or determination. I know days that I go overboard are part of the process. I log every day so I can see the ups and downs. I want to be comfortable with them. It is part of life.
Today will be better!
I’m going out of town this weekend to my grandparents’ house. My parents and little brother happen to be coming to! I had planned on working on my philosophy of Christian education while I’m up there. We’ll see if that happens. I don’t get to see my mom and dad often, so I will probably just want to talk to them the whole time. Or play Harry Potter with my 12-yo brother. (My parents had a baby at 21 and one at 41!)
Let me know how I can be praying for you!
Ash
