Hi all,
Lana, congrats on the WI! You’re really trending in a positive direction — good for you!
Sara - “it just is” has become my mantra, along with “it’s a new day and a new chance to try.” And as Dawn and Lana both said, the human body is a mystery.
Ash - exciting news about the boy! Just be your lovely, joyful self, nerves and all. And keep us posted!
Sun is indeed shining here so hoping to spend a lot of time outside. Did the 2-hour Sunday walk this morning which helped with the -.5 pound WI this morning despite some serious over calories during the week. I also did a strength workout yesterday, which helped.
Waves to all. C-boys, I’ll need a massage later so warm up the oil.
Cheers,

Hi all, just checking in. Out for dinner after a hockey game Friday night. Tragedy here in Canada- 15 boys and coaching staff were killed in Saskatchewan a couple of days ago from a highway accident involving their bus and a transport.
Feel like I'm a stalker reading posts of people I don't know- lol.
arniedog- we have morals here as well- too early yet though. We've had a lot of snow the past couple of days, so they won't be around for a bit. Maple syrup season is wrapping up though!
ash- I still get silly around boys too, and I'm married with 3 kids! Fun to see my teenagers and how they act around boys- they are as bad as I was/am! Nothing better than a spring romance to put a bounce in your step!
Off to do some Leslie Sansone I think- too cold outside.

Tess - Congrats on the good weigh in!!!
Sherri - So sad about that accident. I don't know what else to say. Life is often not good.
Lana1 -
Jeez. I've been winging it today through breakfast and lunch--did not preplan. So now I have less than 500 calories for my dinner and evening raisin bran and milk. I think dinner will be some scallops and mixed low-starch vegetables.
Juggling!

Sherri, I had heard about the tragedy when listening to the Washington Caps game yesterday. I thought of you, being in Canada and a hockey mom/fan. I’m so sorry.

hi all and happy Sunday. today the weather was gorgeous. cleaned the patio and patio furniture, took the dog for a long walk, colored my hair (to get rid of the grey) and just relaxed in the sun. logged all my food, though it was a bit much. a little over 1,700 cals... weight is still at 188.4... steps for today are 11,710. going to bed now. good night. enjoy the rest of your day.1

Definitely a "serial starter." Don't know if it's okay to post here - I'm not from weight watchers.1

Kae - post all you like. This group started at WW and moved over here.1

Yesterday I watched the movie 3 Billboards in Ebbing Missouri, and then found out they filmed it in North Carolina. That makes me upset somehow. I thought I was going to "see" Missouri!
My best girlfriend from school lives in Wyoming, and some recent film was set in Wyoming but filmed in another nearby state--oh yeh--Wind River? Longmire on Netflix is also that way.
Lana
It is kinda disappointing when they do that... like the show "Ozarks" was not filmed in the Ozarks at all...I have not seen 3 Billboards, but heard it is really good... Will watch on pay per view, probably...0 -
Good evening,
Sweet potato shepherds pie made 6 servings (I was aiming for 4), could stick one in freezer bag.... Quiche in oven. Can make burritos anytime this week. Little tired of kitchen.
Temps will be up 20 degrees from Friday tomorrow - will have to live in layers for awhile. Had a dream of my clothes closet- wow nice things! Maybe a good sign of my next thrift store shop!!
I was falling asleep too soon so I got hot chocolate coffee - way too much hot chocolate lately, scale will tell me tomorrow maybe.
Wishing all a good night.2 -
MONDAY
Good morning, scale up .4 - considering what I have consumed... I know it could be worse. Back into water and walking routine. Got extra dog walks in but still not as much walking as during the week.
Weather still not sure what it wants to do, warmer weather and then possibly more rain......Gives me time to go into closet and do purge.....
Baby blankets are done and hand is telling me just a little. Will start new blanket for me/dog that will use up 3 different blue/teal yarns.
I was thinking of a question of the day/week to ask - same one as always - so if someone else has one......
Lurking from work. Wave to all who follow.2 -
Good morning All~~
Sara - you have gotten a LOT of knitting done lately--seems like more than your usual pace. There are many fortunate peeps out there who are the receivers of your generosity! Such good karma.
Gloomy and gray here. Boohoo.
Double Question Of The Week:
1) What diet/method are you currently using?
2) Do you eat sitting down for all meals?
Lana2 -
aotd
1. portion control as much as possible and lower sodium
2. I am so uncoordinated I have to - I had lunch in front of computer for first time in long time over the weekend, but I usually sit at table..... used to be coffee table.
baby blankets are done before it gets too hot..... at work. Strong tea soon.2 -
I’ll have to go back and read over today’s posts, but I want to check in and share...
CW 260.2.....so close!

Woke up to snow AGAIN! Its a lovely winter we're having this spring!
Had gender reveal party this weekend - looks like I am getting another grandson!!
Am gearing up for Tennessee Mountain Jeep Jamboree this week & weekend. So much to do and pack to get ready! Will try to pop in when I can while Jeepin but not really much cell coverage in the mountains!
Lana - I LOVE Longmire! have watched from the beginning "pre-netflix" I was super excited when netflix decided to pick it up.
Ash - oh boy! he likes you! will be interesting to see what he has planned!
Sara - love your menu! i need to make more stuff like that.
Dawn - with all this snow, i dont think the morels will ever show up!!
Welcome birgit & lacey!1 -
hi all. the day is winding down over here...
1) I try to log all my food and stay around 1,500 calories. I did interval fasting (8 pm - noon) during lent and decided to stick with it. i try to eat mostly healthy food but essentially eat whatever I want and don't deprive myself of chocolate and candy.
2) I skip breakfast, eat lunch at the table in the break room. dinner we mostly eat while watching tv (not optimal, but it is what it is)
today I made some zucchini lasagna for dinner, but after logging my recipe I am at 992 (!) cals per portion. that brought today's calories to 1,900. but I did take a brisk 30 min walk at lunch and did 2.3 miles on my treadmill after work.
this morning weight was up one pound which coupled with an early morning migraine did not make me a happy camper most of the day.
but my day is done, I'm about to curl up on the couch with my hubby and chill.
have a great evening all!2 -
lasagne tasted great. I opted for half a portion, allowing for some garlic bread and some jelly beans for dessert.2
-
so why is this cutting off half of my post?1
-
Got a phone message from pcp, could I please call -test results.... on hold was making myself breathe as deeply as I could thinking "what is next?" - both tests were normal !!! Phew I almost started dancing in the kitchen. Celebrate however you like. I may go to bed early......
Dog now happy she spent day in bedroom, with people working in laundry room. She is fed. I made 6 bean/cheese burritos wrapped in wax paper so they wont stick together and are freezing as we speak, have a couple left over to make this week as needed.
Birgit - are you using your phone to post? Sometimes it is the website ....
Dinner ready and my brain is fried. Wishing all a good night.
2 -
hi tilliesmom - yay on those test results!!!
i am using my phone to post. also figured it might not like the emojis?
anywho - it's lunchtime, just had the second half of my zucchini lasagne. now it's off for my lunchtime walk... it's quite grey out, hope I don't get rained on.
the weight was back down this morning; now to work on my water intake....
have a great day all!

Morning all!
Birgit, you’re right - it’s the emojis. MFP doesn’t like the emojis from your phone; it will cut the message off. There are emojis you can use - if you look at the top of where you type in these messages (to the right of “Reply”) there is a drop down emoji list.
Have a good day all. We’re supposed to get sun here - fingers crossed!
Cheers,
Tess2 -
TUESDAY
Good morning, wow I am #3 - unusual, but okay......
Staring a blanket that wraps around as I knit (think looks like a square snail), as I am learning it is slow going, but will keep trucking on it.
Nourish Bowl for lunch - bought the right one this time - not allergic to the sauce on this one......
Tess- how is your weather? Possible rain today and weekend with a warming trend - Spring??
Oatmeal is done and I need to scoot. Lurking from work big time today!!
Wave to all who follow.1 -
Good morning!
Birgit-I figured out the emogi thing thensame way that was annoying.
I love Longmire, too! I’m late to the conversation about that. I’ve been busy. Haha.
We’ve had cold weather too, and it SNOWED on Saturday morning. It was really nice yesterday though.
So, he asked me out! It was so sweet. He bought me a Ravenclaw shirt, and put it in a box. His sister told him about my “HI IM A RAVENCLAW DO YOU LIKE SOUP” Line from my rant, that I now call my “joke” because it was pretty funny.
I’m trying to post a picture. On the top of the box, he printed out “I’m from Gryffindor and I like soup too” and he printed off the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor crests and put them on there. The font was like the HP font and it was printed on paper that looked like parchment. It is stinking adorable.
Yesterday was super awesome. I was way under on my carbs and I went for a run/walk/jog. I took my Bible quiz and only missed one on the multiple choice. Moses met God on Mt. Sinai, not Mt. Moriah. Oh well. My essay was pretty good, I think. I hope! I am an English teacher after all!
Well, I’ve got to go get ready. My meds are giving me a rough time. I’m dizzy and it’s hard to concentrate. I’m thankful for them though!
Still praying for you all!!
Much Love,
Ash

Good morning all~~
Kathryn - congratulations on the news of the grandson!
Sara - It's super that your test results came back OK. But what a scare to have a message to call back!
Tess and Birgit - good to know about the phone and the emojis. Now, can i remember this? Probably not.
Ash - Cool news about him asking you out! Hope you feel better (less dizzy) soon~~
Double Question Of The Week:
1) What diet/method are you currently using?
2) Do you eat sitting down for all meals?
My answers:
1) Counting calories and logging everything into MFP.
2) For the past couple of years, yes I do sit down at the table with no phone/computer, no TV, no diversions.
Waving to Dawn and Saltine and Missy and anyone else who pops by today......
Lana

Yes! If I use emojis on my phone, it cuts off my post... if I use emojis on here, no problems.. don't get it1 -
QsOTW:
I’m keeping track of everything I eat. I’m not TRYING to diet, but I’ve been consistently improving my intake. I try to limit my carbs to around 200 a day and I try to exercise a few times a week.1 -
*Kitten* This isn't easy tracking and planning and juggling and trading calories to get a balanced day roughly within my calorie goal.
.....I've done 8 days in a row, completed to the end. That's the most I've ever fully completed here on MFP.
It is SO time consuming for me, but I have to say it is worth it.
My old Weight Watchers leader used to say HIS old WW leader would bark in her gravelly voice "When you work it, it works."
