    WEDNESDAY

    Good morning, its a beautiful day in the neighborhood.... singing Mr Rogers theme song here.

    Dawn, both of my 2 online sales people are having "Christmas in July" type sales. Just not fair. May check them both out anyway.......

    Food choices are okay. I cannot eat candy/extras until I eat my 2 pieces of fruit at work.

    Work is just bizarre, Sup is out for some weird reason and lead has Jury Duty (struck our department like the flu). Yesterday the lady who has been helping me (it was her work before me) had dental apt for painful stuff, so she will be back today. How they expect us to get these things done (and we leave the worst for last) is beyond me.

    Okay time to get back in the hamster ball. Wave to all who follow.

    Sara - good morning. I splurged on a warmer during sale. Then, find out, new sale items will be available, today. Oh well. I really wanted the one I ordered, so I will be happy about it. That is a good rule about no candy until after fruit. Our wonderful client that always brings treats, brought cupcakes.... avoiding like the plague...

    Have a great day!

    Nothing of any real importance to say, except hi.

    I can't imagine a migraine and a loud MIL. Hope you feel better soon.

    Hey All~~

    In a funk. I'm hoping that it will pass.
    I'm sorting out pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that is almost too big for me to handle, so I have to do the top 1/3 first, then the middle, then the bottom.

    It's all I can handle right now.

    Got my walk in Monday and Tuesday... in between crazy weather... back to unbearable heat, under heat advisory for probably the next week... yuck... still chances of rain, tho... today, I was unable to say No to ice cream...I really don't know why I said, Yes... other than the simple fact that it was ice cream... Reeses Blast from Sonic... thankfully, my friend shared hers with me and, it was only about 1/4th of the actual cup...could have been worse, I suppose...

    THURSDAY

    Good morning,

    Asphalt is being worked on today/tomorrow where I live, I have to move my car tomorrow before 6. I will move car and take dog on walk, so no skin off my nose. Luckily it is not done often.

    Dawn - sharing treats like that as you said means you didnt eat the whole thing. I try and split doughnuts when I actually eat one, but everyone wants theirs to themselves.

    Pot luck at work for 4th of July (why it cant be next week???) today, not participating and not eating. Tri tip sandwich for lunch is too good to pass up - and coworker and I split the sandwich roll, so like Dawn my calorie intake is less (the potato chips I get are not invisible sadly).

    We always have to have potlucks at work on Thursdays, so anything you might buy over the weekend.... second reason I dont participate I refuse to make a second trip to store.

    Off to rescue the oatmeal. Wishing all a great day.

    Dawn, you will get no judgment from me! From May-October, I am addicted to ice cream. Good for you for not eating the whole thing- NSV!

    Waves to all. Humidity is returning to DC today. Ugh.

    Cheers,

    Good morning!

    I need to place a Schwan's order for this Saturday's delivery route.
    I will not be ordering any ice cream because.... Hello......I EAT IT.
    Duh. I live alone.
    Who else do I think is going to eat this?

    I think that we should have a special Thursday Happy Hour today. It's been a long week, and we shouldn't wait until tomorrow. The Cabana Boys will be heading up a water exercise class for us in the pool followed by plenty of zero calorie cocktails, snacks, and extra pillow fluffing + foot massages.

    For two days they are asphalting the pavement, my day to move car is tomorrow, seems people dont understand the company is here and many cars are not moved...... towing was threatened on announcement. I was just so stunned to see so many cars.

    Ice cream was the first thing that had to go on WW as I would have it for all 3 meals if I could. I have had 2 servings this year. Our Summer heat is so bad that it is hard to avoid it. I will go sit in the couch with Tess and eat ice cream on really bad days - everyone is welcome to join us. Ice cream cones and toppings on the side table.

    Hello everyone!

    So happy to find this group! I could use some extra motivation. Trying to log every day and go to the gym 3 times a week and give up soda. The gym is literally the next building beside my apartment and I'm off work until the school year starts up in August so I have no excuses but I'm really good at coming up with them.

    Thank you ladies...i always try to share treats, when I can. My co-workers love their donuts, too. Good excuse for me to avoid them! Ice cream is one of my biggest weaknesses, that's for sure!

    Lana - I love Schwans! I wish I could afford them enough to avoid grocery stores all together! Haha

    Welcome Sammie! This is a great place to come for support and encouragement! Stop by when you can!

    Scentsy sale was a great success! Woo hoo! Thank you again Sara for your order! This will also help my fundraiser honoring my Grandpa. That makes me so happy!

    Too hot to be outside, again. They weren't joking when they said "extreme heat" Yuck!

    making coffee ice cubes (black coffee into ice cube trays - not hot coffee!!) and drinking them with cold milk helps get my dairy and makes me feel like I am drinking something decadent without the extra calories.

    good evening,

    was able to do well in both online sales, wanted to get another nice knitting bag and the prices were agreeable.

    HOT weekend again so early errands again.

    What to make for meals next week? Hmmmm.

    Wishing all a good night.

    FRIDAY

    Good morning, TGIF

    Window open for last time in days....... Will get extra walking in they are asphalting my area and I need to move my car. I will not try and get too much walking in otherwise with the heat.

    Leftover zucchini enchilada for lunch. I have 3 more in freezer so maybe for next week with the holiday??

    Did my online notes first so need to get to my morning routine,

    Wave to all who follow.

    Dawn - i have little ice cream maker and use it to make "ice cream" out of fresh fruit and almond milk. Nice cold treat without all the guilt & calories. Have also made it using a flavored meal replacement shake so that it is full of protein and other nutrients. Plan on trying a sorbet next.

    Sara - did anyone have to be towed for the asphalt work?

    Lana - *sending special UnFunk Squad of Cboys your way*

    Excessive heat warnings in effect from 8am today to 2pm on Sunday. And this is when we are planning to stain the deck.... all 681 sq ft of "floor" (already did the 700 sq ft of knee walls, skirting, spindles, handrails, etc. during last heatwave!) Also have 4 flats of flowers to pot/plant and arrange.
    Focusing on landscaping/external house repairs more to get out of house with MIL than they really need to be done. Amazing how much my husband has accomplished by being outside so much these past 2 weeks! LOL
    Was promised the MIL situation would only be one week - Caveat: turns out that means one week at a time, with his sister taking her on weekends. Sister wants her to be watched/babysat like an infant - upset we don't make her use walker constantly etc. (the woman can get in and out of a lifted Jeep with no assistance and goes for walks up and down our lane several times a day, no walker needed!) DH wants her to get stronger and more independent so she can be on her own again. Talk about difference of opinion. (the other brother still refuses to have anything to do with her) I just want my own house back!!

    DD moving into apartment over the holiday so I will be moving boxes instead of flipping burgers on a grill! She finally got a settlement from insurance for the burglary of her storage unit. She had so much documentation, photos, and history of her items plus all the reports where she worked with police to get her stuff back, that they said they could not dispute the claim. They were also so impressed with the way she presented all of it that they asked if she would be interested in a job with the insurance company. LOL (She politely said no.)


    what the heck is going on with MFP? i posted this and it disappeared twice. so am posting once again. sorry if the others show up and you are bombarded with this in triplicate!

    Happy Friday all.

    Humidity has returned to DC. I’m trying to decide if I have a cold again or allergies. Either way, I’m stuffed up and, if I’m to be honest, a little cranky. Lana, please toss a C-boy over here, stat!

    Work is crazy but it’s over for the week so am determined not to think about it for 2 days!

    Waves,

    I always hated the potlucks at work. I’m very fussy so never ate much and bring one of s few women always ended up doing setup and cleanup

    My husband loves ice cream so it’s usually in the house. I mostly buy kinds I won’t eat so I’m not tempted. This week though it was chocolate, my favourite so I’ve had one serving each day.

    Good evening,

    Just to see I googled how much salt was in the ham I ate on Saturday and I can eat my hamburger and fries and have almost the same amount of salt. Phewy on ham for awhile.

    Tess - I am sending a cboy care package your way - with memo for extra foot massages....

    Ice cream the new "non ice cream" I dont know what's in it (the zero fat ones) so I dont even consider it.

    Will stop by before lights out. Have to go pick up car that is parked off site.
