WooHoo! 500 pages. Usually takes a lot of nastiness and angst to get those kinds of numbers. We did it with support and positivity.5

Hair cut short and love it with this weather.....
Found out I scored a 95% on the test that is the best fit for my current skills - so that is awesome news. I came home after haircut instead of going out to eat and made a Naan bread pizza with bbq sauce string mozzarella cheese and broccoli, I liked it. NSV , less salt and less $$.
Also a lot of food comments and pet pictures in these 500 lovely pages.
More squirrel pictures to come !!
Got Miss T her allergy meds so I can start her again tonight.
I ordered 2 smaller purses I was thinking of the heat of the summer, and I got one 50% off.

Tracey- love, love, love the dress!
500 pages! Woo hoo! Such a great group to be a part of. I'm very thankfully to be a part of it.
Last night, DH and I drove to the City to see Adam Sandler live! I just love him! I have not laughed that hard in a long time! It was kind of a workout, too. Not just laughing. But, we parked across the road and had a bit of a walk, there and back... it was really nice when we left. We were already on the HWY and, the parking lot was a mess...we got to miss all that! Thank goodness...we had a 2 1/2 hr drive home...ugh

Good morning,
Kathryn/Dawn a good laugh is worth an hour of cardio workout so Dawn you did your heart good.
Window open for the first time in a couple days. Next week looks absolutely ugly but not there yet.
Korean Beef at work. Have Gardein (sp) vegetarian chicken nuggets for dinner, so need to find the fruit/veg.

Tilliesmommy1 - Your supervisor is not a very helpful person at all from what I've seen. Hopefully you find a State job soon and it's better than anything else you've been doing.
Lynn - I can't believe how fast the days are ticking off now. I was texting with Kaitlyn last night, she was a little anxious about all that's left to do. I told her to buckle up and hold on, because it's going to be a fast ride now. 1 month today!
Twiley - That is so true, this is such a positive group.
Today I am working on some more tags for the wedding, I made 104 yesterday that were very easy, I just had to keep loading paper into the machine. Today I need to design some wording and figure out how to get it to print and cut properly. It will be a challenge, but I'll get it. I then have my swimming lesson tonight which is good because it's raining again, so no chance for a walk. I am so thankful for the rain though, it will help with the wildfires.
I am struggling getting my weight back down from the weekend. Too much alcohol and chips. I hope it drops soon.

Thought this was a great idea. Not focusing on numbers on a scale so much.6 -

It was such a great night. Been stressed again at work. So, it was much needed! I didn't think about laughing being "cardio" My heart should be good for awhile
Sara- Great news on tests... hope you have great news on a job, soon..
Lana- hope you were able to get in a good walk
Lynn- you are right... this month will fly... but, the day will be perfect and, it will all be worth it...
Tracey- sounds like a fun day crafting...
Kathryn- I saw that pic with yarn on FB... maybe, I should try that...as the scale is definitely not my friend..

disappointing news my immed Sup is not on medical leave until next Friday, one more week..... my last audit was pretty bad and we need a game plan. I couldnt figure out why we were having the discussion my Sup thought my Auditor told me of my latest score - too much miscommunication going on...... Sup is asking coworker if she will take on some of the Immed Sup jobs including helping me. Dont know answer yet.
Good day to blow all my points for the week, or take a walk!! Wont let work win.

I am allowing myself to dream about my next job.
Wishing all a good night.1 -
FRIDAY - TGIF
I will have to email all people involved at work that these gaps in communication and resources needs to stop. Also include the Manager and Director. I document at home and leave there. So far it is nothing official on paper etc. but I need to state my demands as well.
Did not run to food last night which was a nice change. Had such a large lunch that I actually did not have dinner.
Wave to all who follow. Have Immed Sup at desk in morning, but will lurk later.

Good morning!!! It's Friday! Even though there's a busy weekend ahead, Friday is a good thing.
Please let me know if you get tired of me posting my results.
I have a wedding to go to next weekend. (We seem to have a lot of weddings in this group.
) My goal was to be at 155 by next Friday. Well, I got there today--a week ahead of schedule. Now, I am adjusting next week's goal to 150. It may be attainable since I have another Kickstart challenge starting Monday. Usually, a 3-day Kickstart will net a 3 lb fat loss for me. Add a couple more and voila! five lbs.
We can all do this! Find a lifestyle and a way of eating that works for you. I found mine.
Have a great Friday, everyone, and enjoy your weekend!

Sara - It sounds like a good idea to write email to everyone summing up what is going on and what can make things better. Find the perfect words and get it out there. 🤗
Tracy in TN - Please continue to post away! The whole purpose of this place is to do and say whatever necessary to help our own journeys go better and to help each other. 💪🏻🙏🏻
Waving to Dawn and Missy and Kathryn and Tracey in Edmonton and Lynn and Meghan and Suzu and Laura and anyone I missed and all who stop by later on.
TGIF Happy Hour is this afternoon!

Hello everyone!
Was out yesterday - dermatologist for me got a biopsy done on a funky looking mole. She didn't seem too concerned. We will see in 10 days (medical field at its best) then meeting for my Dad. He is on dialysis now permanently, they have given up on his kidneys recovering. So a new thing to adjust to, but doable. PT and OT are happy with his progress so that is a plus. Then I spent some time soaking in the sun. Great day in WI yesteday, also today and expected tomorrow. Finally summer!
Sara - 95% is awesome! Congrats. I think your dreaming about your next job will come true. And yes...document document document - you should counter their arguments.
Kathryn - I too like the yarn idea. I think I will look for different colors, maybe at a thrift store or something!
Dawn - Adam Sandler?!?! I am jealous. I am glad it was as good as you expected.
Tracy in TN - congrats again on the weigh coming off and I am sorry about the inch.
Waves to all! I will see you at Happy hour Lana! Lurking until then.

Sarah - it sounds like you are in a precarious position at work. I know how that feels, I hope things turn around soon.
Tracy - I gained an inch when I had my first bone scan in the fall. I don’t know how I would have handled losing an inch. What is the Kickstarter program you spoke of?
Lynn - sorry to read about your Dad that will be a big lifestyle adjustment I imagine.
Hubby is home from work today due to rain and it’s messing up my routine. I’m trying to convince him to use this free time to do my bathroom door, but he doesn’t seem to budging. I need to get the door and drywall out of my hallway and hung before company arrives. I hate not being able to do this myself, I despise waiting on people and usually figure out how to do it myself. This is something I physically can’t do myself though so I’m stuck. Hopefully he comes through for me so I can stop nagging.
Last night I had my swim lesson and I was taught how to dive. I did it twice and then he told me to step off the diving box, I did that too and didn’t panic when I touched the bottom of the pool. I was quite proud of myself.

On the advice of my doctor, I eat low carb/high fat (keto). The group I follow on Facebook called Push for Your Better is run by a certified Ketogenic meal planner, Amy Smith-Hightower. She developed a Kickstart program to put you deeper into ketosis or reset your body to begin losing again after a stall. Stall is defined as 3 weeks or more with no scale or inch loss. She also says you can do it once a month, just to give your body a break.
I have done the Kickstart 3 times in the past 3 months and lost 3-5 lbs of fat each time. It does stay off for me.
It is rather restrictive and very minimal calories (less than 1000 per day). However, I do not feel hungry or deprived in any way during this program.
Sorry if that was more information than you were expecting. I am quite passionate regarding this new way of eating. It has literally saved my life.
The three-day program is below. Hopefully, MFP won't eat the image.

Please feel free to add me I’ve lost gained so many times now c2

Thank you Tracey I passed on the keto info to coworker.

Tracy in TN - yikes that is a kickstart! Good for you to be able to follow that - even for three days, that is not much food. I am very glad though it works for you!
Tracey - I hear you about waiting on others to get something done. Nothing more frustrating! although I cannot hang drywall and doors, my need to get things done has "forced" me to learn some tools that I never would've otherwise
Welcome thisiscaraj Cara? I am guessing that might be your name based on your signon! Pretty good group here!
I have found a new "love" Bubly sparkling water. I do have a sodastream and make my own, but this canned yumminess is better than mine! or maybe just more convenient. I do find sparkling water fills my belly up. I am sure with some air, but it works!

Lynn where is your father staying? Is he still in the hospital?1

Tracy - Thanks for the info.
Lynn - I have learned a lot too, maybe soon I'll learn how to drywall. LOL
