Good morning,
Hottest day of the week here. People say its hot enough to fry an egg on the asphalt..... Cool off posed online before next wave of 100 plus is probably an illusion. We shall see.
Coworker know a lady who is painting rocks to raise money for her mother dealing with cancer, so I asked for and she made 2 so I bought them both, they are being shellacked (sp) as we speak. She puts them out into the community with her FB info and some people will post they found the rocks.
Sleep after breakfast will not be too hard.
Will lurk from work. Wave to all who follow.
Stay inside! Does not sound like a good time to be out.
I've seen the rock thing on FB, a lot... was curious...I can't paint at all... but, I like the idea. I see it a lot in my Halloween page I follow. There are some really good artists out there.1 -
I thought this was about Cheerios or oats0

I just realized that we have two peeps here with the same name.
Twiley510 is Tracy, and Snowflake1968 is Tracey!!
It's the wee little things in life that bring me great delight. 😄
Sara - do your best to keep cool and watered today.
Dawn and Tracy - First above all >>> do not beat yourself up. That thinking must change!
Take small steps and look only to the future, not to the past.
Make one meal of the day a healthy one. Bring UP your inside thinking so that there is one less reason to be looking for comfort! Chins up! One day at a time.
Try to have your indulgent foods out of the home so as to not bring that stuff in multiples into your Safe House.
Just some ideas.
I might have to crack open The Beck Book later for some more behavioral suggestions for myself and all of us...
Hugs to all,
Lana

Thank you. It really is a struggle. I let so much get to me. Including, not seeing numbers go down on the darn scale. I have been trying to keep my breakfast and lunch, pretty much the same. And, watch portion control at dinner. Too many Carbs, is a lot of the issue, I believe. I think things are "good" until I really stop and think about it. By then, it's usually too late. I've already eaten. I really need to start getting up and making a decent breakfast. I just have no energy to get out of bed any earlier than I have to. I do eat oatmeal with PB... but, it's Instant...I definitely need to get the sweets out of my house. I used to be so good at ignoring them.... now, they just seem to call to me...TOM doesn't help at all...
Good job on your WI...I need to take some tips from you!

To amuse you further, Lana, Tracey and I are the same age!
I am trying to come up a bit with my eating. However, the other two people in my house do not wish to be on board. It became too much of a struggle to eat properly when financial stress hit along with interpersonal conflict. The last seven months have been rough. Hoping the next six weeks will prove better in every way. Time will tell. Thank you to everyone here! You are bright spot for my days.
I have same issues! SO can eat whatever he wants and not gain. So, he pushes food on me. He says, he loves me the way I am.. no support for weight loss whatsoever. Finances are a huge issue, too. I have been going to store on lunch, once a week. I am able to buy somewhat good things to keep with me at work. I leave the sweets at home.1 -

Home for me and where my BF lives is a 3 day drive or a $1000 flight. Neither option is conducive to frequent visiting. I am hoping to get home this fall though as I haven't seen my Mom in 2 years and she is now in a nursing home. I know next year will be out of the question as my youngest daughter is getting married.1 -

I am sort of the same, my husband is not really fussy or anything, but I try to give him options for supper and he always suggests burgers, pizza, chinese.... I have gotten so I just buy for him and make something for myself at home. I feel better when I do. Funnily enough, my SIL's name is Tracy. My brother just missed me so much LOL3 -
okay, I pop my head up from the hole I have been working in today and wowie -
Lana - that fainting couch better be big enough I am on my way...... thank James (?) for us.
buzzards looming back in my hole - make your best food choices and quick kicking yourself.2 -
Wow! did not realize how long it had been since I checked in here! Not sure what hit me but I have been down with an upper resp, sinus, and double ear infection with laryngitis for a couple weeks. On the plus side - absolutely no appetite and I did find that the doctor's office scale is a lot "friendlier" than mine at home. Only issue is i am sure the weight will pop back on as soon as my appetite returns!
Did manage to meet my "new" sister!
We got along like we had known each other forever. I was afraid it would be strange and awkward but we had lots of fun just sitting and talking. Now we have all kinds of plans to get our entire families together. (Not sure if planets will align and all things fall into place to allow that to happen though!)
I am still going back through 100+ posts and trying to catch up!!
*waves to everyone*

Okay I need a proof reader, that is what happens with low flying buzzards/vultures.....
Kathryn, that is fabulous that you and your new sister get along so well. Hard for both sides, so kudos for taking the chance.
Will be home soon, can talk more......1 -
Kathryn - So cool about your "new" sister. Glad you like her and are comfortable enough to be making plans for the future!
Lana1 -
I love my dog - sitting by door waiting for me to go out.
Eye candy much appreciated today.
Reading and then zzzz1 -
Kathryn - hi! Good to see you! So glad you met your sister and it went so well! Hope planets are good to you for future visits! Feel better soon!
Tracey-every chance to visit BF should be great! So wonderful you have been able to stay in touch all the years and miles.

You can't stop sabotaging thoughts from arising,but you can respond to them - page 180.
Something to think about tonight.......2 -
Hello everyone. My name is Amy, I am back to counting calories and making better choices in what I eat. My diet has officially started and I am excited to be back on track with MyFitnessPal! I need friends and people who are active. Please add me if you like!3

THURSDAY
Good morning,
Cooler and windows open with fan, a couple degrees cooler which is appreciated.
Amy - welcome and stop by when you get a chance. How can we help you keep on track?
Lana - I hope you have a "permanent" picture of Leandro for eye candy when needed. Wowie he got my attention!
Drinking lots of water helps with my feet swelling, so more of the same today - though it does create pit stops all night long, but I think it is worth it. My weight is up 8 pounds since May so now to cut back on extra munching.
Oatmeal on stove. Rocks coming today, hope to post picture.
Wave to all who follow. Lurking from work and staying out of way of vultures.

Perfect topic for me. I am the queen of giving up. On weight loss. On reading books. Quitting jobs, my business. College. All relationships until my husband and kids.
This time I want things to be different. It’s far beyond weight loss at this point. I have 7 kids (3 that I gave birth to). The youngest 2 are age 4 and 2 and my body just hasn’t been the same. I can’t think or focus. I need my life and my brain back so I can be the mom/nana/lolli I want to be.3 -

As someone famous once said, "It's not the number of times you get knocked down that count. Only the number of times you get back up." Always get up one more time.

Good evening,
Sent myself the wrong email from work, so I hope to have picture of rocks tomorrow night.
Rockin- welcome! we can all find something in your post to relate to - my advice start slow and find the easiest thing to do first - even if it is making a shopping list.
Brain is on fumes (has been all week). Wishing all a good night.2 -

FRIDAY
Good morning,
TGIF! Temps will be more user friendly until mid next week. Nice relief.
Frozen bag of pork fried rice in lunch and frozen bag shepherd's pie in fridge for dinner. Zucchini enchilada's on tap for the weekend as zucchini on sale 89 cents a pound and white onions are on sale 59 cents a pound. Pork loins also on sale less that $2 a pound. Dont have a recipe for pork but can find one easily enough.
Have note on freezer door what meals I have inside. A good clean out of freezer may also be a good thing Sunday.
Lana has awoled with Leandro!!! Smart girl - hehehehe check in when you can.
Wave to all who follow. Lurking when I get to work.
TGIF - need to say it twice.

Happy Friday, all! Stayed home from work today. We've had inches and inches of rain since last night - as if we were going through a tropical storm (but we're not). Charleston famously floods very easily, and especially downtown, which is where I work. I was on my way this morning and ended up turning around and going home. Cars were stalling out and getting stuck, roads were shut down. No thanks!
I haven't been doing the best eating-wise since going out of town at the end of last month - I've done OK most of the time but have had a few major binge sessions. I dared to step on the scale today and I was actually a bit lighter than my last weigh in! I thought for sure I would have gained the weight back, but I've kept off the 5 lbs I've lost in the last month. Pleasantly surprised with that. Now I need to keep moving forward.
I love meal prepping - especially when stuff is on sale! And I'm always searching for recipes to figure out what to make, lol.
TGIF indeed!!
Hope everyone has a great Friday!

Do you know if these will be available in Canada too?0 -
@ErynVee - I wish I was a great meal planner, but I'm really not! I have tried it and I just really suck at it! I think part of it is I am so incredibly fussy.1

Hey there Ladies~~
I had an early morning appointment this morning, and it threw me all off for the day.
I read through all of the posts.....Now it's after 8PM. Having it still be light out in the summer is so great. I say a silent "thank you" because in winter, it would be pitch black now....
Time to go drink some more water. Dinner (Schwan's) was salty!

Holy cow.....how did I miss yesterday?
Sadly, Leandro had nothing to do with it. He does like waiting on all of you ladies though!
