SATURDAY
Good morning,
Nice cool temps so windows are open. Coworker who is taking chemo for bone cancer has been at work most of the week, but didnt see her until yesterday, so the shawl I am knitting for her is back on -luckily temps are helping.
I am hoping to be inspired as I shop this weekend for groceries for meals this week.

Today is a busy day, but popping in to say "hi"!
Farmer's Market opens today. I have a brand new basket that I wove for this year's purchases.
An outdoor wedding to attend this evening.
Laundry and other essential tasks to accomplish in between.
However, today I reached (drumroll, please) SEVENTY POUNDS gone forever!
No way on earth I could have done it without all of you in my corner. Thank you for your support!

Hey Ladies,
I have been very much behind in all the posts, and I just got caught up, as best I could.
Tracey in Edmonton The door looks fabulous. Enjoy it! You had a job interview lately, but I missed how it worked out.
Kathryn - Have fun on the Jeep trip! Stay safe!
Tracy - have fun at the wedding this weekend, and again congrats on that 70 Pound huge milestone!
Lynn and Dawn - thank you for the dog-walking idea!
Meghan - take that motivation and run with it!
Saltine - So good to see you! So very sorry to hear about your friend passing away and your not knowing. I can’t find good words right now, but know I am sending healing vibes to you.
You are fighting depression right now. Be very kind to yourself. Try to start your day with three things that you are grateful for. Please don’t berate yourself for what you are not doing, and give yourself love for any little positive thing that you can manage to do.
PS - good luck with the house hunting!
Waving to Sara and Suzu and Missy and Laura and Kate and Eryn and Birdie and Runa and anyone who pops by later on~~

Cool enough to work on shawl for coworker, then back to smaller projects.
Where are those foam bats from the 1970's? Like to take it to someone who is full of degrading comments and suggestions but not much on the support side.
House work - doing dishes took priority over dinner choice, so I had a piece of leftover pizza and a banana for dinner.

SUNDAY
Good morning,
Woke up cold took a couple of attempts to get warm and then my body woke me up w/o an alarm clock. Dog was happy.....
No 100's in forecast which is appreciated. Groceries this morning.
I may just try the yarn trick as the scale is not friendly but my body shape is not as it was.....
Found the name of the furniture item that will work for me and my space "sleeper chair" now to find one to try out......

Bought a sofa bed that will be a full size mattress, so Miss T and I can fit on it - twin size sofa beds chairs are too narrow - will be delivered maybe Thursday - so I had to move the furniture, my yarn and framed pictures will be an easy move and I will make sure to vacuum well. So now if my neighbor is being loud or I want to binge watch on computer - problem solved. Also a smaller room to heat and cool.
Hope everyone had a good Sunday/ Father's day.

Morning all! Stressing a little and woke at 3:30... can't sleep, so thought I would write.
Right now it feels like I am having issues keeping all of the balls in the air. Work, home, new business, wife, mother, friend, self... fitness and health and weight and image... something goes up and something else slides. I want to make sure that I'm concentrating on the right things for the long haul.
4:30 now and looks like I am up for the day.
Happy Monday!
Where's Birdie???1 -
MONDAY
Good morning, all my weight loss gone but not new weight - those 2 muffins probably did not help!!
Suzu - glad you could stop by in the middle of the night. I often wonder if when things go haywire if maybe its a good time to stop and give back to ourselves for a change. So time to nurture yourself??
Shawl done for friend who is going through Chemo again. I am taking it to work for her.
I think a lot of people who post occasionally also lurk, so I figure they will drop in eventually.
It is Monday so lets make the best of it.

Good morning Suzu and Sara,
I have not been sleeping enough hours because DH has been very sick with sinus problems, earache, and cough for a whole week now. So I'm with you on the "middle of the night" business.
This visit with him has been a non-event, a huge disappointment for me. He is in his own little world, as usual, and it feels as if he is still in Las Vegas, even though he is in the house. I'm just as lonely as if he were not here. I had such high hopes for this time together with him, and it's not going as I had dreamed.
He brought on the ear problems with the stupid jumping and diving he was doing in the pool--he has ear problems and gets sick every time he is here. I think it's his way of escaping and avoiding me and the responsibilities here.
I am an attached idiot.
Thank you for letting me put that writing on the Cabana Club wall.....
Now to clean off the table so that there's no excuse why not to start his work on our 2017 income tax returns. No that's not a typo.
*tossing hat and beach bag onto lounge chair for later*

Good morning!
Getting back to my eating routine again today. Slid a bit the last week or so. The self sabatoge I talked about. This AM back to my oatmeal with syrup and nuts. Love it actually. I make a weeks worth and eat each day
Got lots of veggies last night, so i will try and keep them fresh stocked.
Sending hugs and thoughts to those having a rough patch right now:
Lana, not sure what to say on your post...sending you hugs. Lonely is a bad feeling.
Sara - you mentioned your weight...I don't know if you are "beating yourself up" but don't - you have been through alot of stress these weeks. Take care of yourself!
Suzu - same advice for you - too many balls in air - YOU should be one of the first!
I saw Lana's advice about finding three things each morning you are grateful for. There are studies for everything, I know. But I did see one that grateful feelings re-wire your brain as do complaining feelings. We have to decide for ourselves how we wish to be wired.
have a great Monday! Take care!

I am under Lynn Brenner - I think- that is what I see when I click on my account. Anyone interested? We can maybe challenge each other?
I am not sure how to add...I tried entering your name but nothing came up...Feel free to add me, my name is Saltine24 on Fitbit.
I hope everyone had a good weekend. No workout for me this weekend but did get up early this morning and my cousin & I did a workout video & about 15 min on the treadmill, plus I just completed my lunch walk. It looks like rain so possibly no walk tonight, but we will see.
Have a great Monday!

rumor of a HOT day tomorrow is no longer a rumor..... just is.
Dog walk was longer than usual for her but it is hot so she found out she couldnt go as far as she wanted to, unless I carried her - not starting that habit.

On the road today - Up at 4 and on the road by 5:30. Co-worker and I have 2 stops to start cardiology projects at 2 of our hospitals. Expect to be back by 6:30 tonight, and hitting the road for another site tomorrow morning. Going to be a Looooooong week.!! Food choices may just be what we can find.1

TUESDAY
Good morning,
Suzu!! Up early today. Your work is well needed and the patients will be the better off. See if you can get extra steps in and do your best or if you find a food item that is too tempting - ENJOY!!
Quiet at work, immediate Sup had her hip surgery yesterday and she was a real chatterbox. Coworker behind me - bull in china shop - had questions or had to keep her up to date on his progress. He also does not have an inside voice as they now call it. So a loud bull in a china shop.
Lady loved her shawl and a neighbor confirmed that infusion therapy is often in a cold room, so she got her shawl a the right time.
Yearly evals available, must be done. Lurking from work.

Sofa to be delivered will not be put against the wall as the back part becomes part of the bed. Good place to stash all my knitting bags.
102 was high for today. Bleh. Ceiling fans are on and a/c kicks in every so often.

WEDNESDAY
Good morning,
Windows open which is appreciated.
Next project getting my yarn disaster put to rights (think this summer) and getting a cabinet like this but taller.
For at least awhile I may have to take my water pills again as it is just so hot.
Wave to all who follow. Lurking on this day I go in and deal with the aged claims in my file.

Good morning Sara!
That is a cute cabinet. If you can't find exactly what you want, consider buying this one and stacking it on top of a low chest of drawers. (Attach the top one to the wall for safety/steadiness.)
It rained hard last night. Today is the Wednesday Meetup walking group. I hope that someone shows up for me to walk with, and I hope that the path is walkable!
Yesterday's WW meeting was great, but I seemed to have left all of the magic behind at the meeting. I so need to get myself on track.

Made it back in one piece - both us and the Jeeps! Lots of fun. Had gorgeous dry weather with sunshine while in KY. Meanwhile back in Indiana they were dealing with storms and tornadoes. Its been raining pretty much ever since we got back and there is a lot of flooding now. Rain, storms, and possible tornadoes in the forecast for the rest of the week.
While gone, I tried to make good choices. I did make myself log everything. Wasn't even close to being under calorie budget, but at least I did NOT go crazy on sweets or desserts. I know there was too much sodium because I was swollen up like a puffer fish.
Am really trying not to give in to stress/emotional eating right now. Issues with DH business are really stressing me out. Plus all the changes at work. My head is just not in the game at the moment.2 -

I hope everyone is doing okay, we put an offer on a house & it was accepted last night. We do the home inspection on Friday so I hope everything goes okay. Our possession date is July 19th...doesn't leave much time for packing, sorting and garage sale. I am so conflicted...I am really happy and excited to be a first time home owner, but at the same time I am sad because I will be leaving the last house that my mom ever lived in.
I have gotten up everyday this week 3 days so far to do a workout...30 min walking on the treadmill (1 mile) & 30 min workout video or weights/core & am still walking about 5 miles on my lunch.
Sara~I do like that cabinet, very nice!
Lana~I hope you enjoy your walk today, with or without the group.
Waving to all who follows.
