    Sara - sending good vibes & positive thoughts for the meeting today.
    Lana - <<hugs>> if i could bottle up my ability to take a nap, i would be happy to share! :D
    Tracey - am right there with you on the struggle bus! still trying to get calories under control, but at least I am logging everything.
    suzu - thank goodness for this break from last week's asphyxiating heat & humidity!
    Dawn - hang in there!

    i want to try to get back into routine of walking after work and/or working out in gym starting tonight.

    still no word on contract. a co-worker will not have a position if current company wins contract (no idea if another company wins it). was going to get her a goodbye card and a gift card, since not enough time to do a going away lunch, but not sure if i should give it to her this week or wait and see who wins contract....

    Lynn, keep sending the good thoughts- appreciate it.

    Isnt the midwest known for its high humidity / sweltering summers? Why is this one so different?

    Back under my rock.

    Yes, we tend to have crazy temps and humidity.. this year, it was like a smack in the face, one day you're comfortable, the next you're living in an oven.. the air is so hot and heavy... take your breath away, miserable.. definitely not a normal summer... cool temps have found us, for a few days... it's still July and August tends to be miserable, too... so, not getting too excited... but, enjoying the break

    I thought of FLA Meghan (Hobbit) with the last picture post - dont know if she is a trekkie but I could not resist.

    Glad day is done. Sup was behaving and all sweet as pie - what ever HR said took root. Yipee!!

    Now to get out from under her Supervision.

    Wishing all a good night.

    WEDNESDAY

    Good morning,

    HOT again here. I always think of the line "It's hot in here" at the end of the song "Love Shack" when we have heat waves.

    Hey - has Jordan passed his foot massage class yet?

    Wave to all who follow. Another Lurking kind of day.

    Sara - Jordan will be waiting for you after work to give you a foot massage. If you approve, then he is a permanent hire. 😉

    All other ladies are welcome to sign up to be next after Sara - if indeed Sara approves.... 😁

    Sara - Yea!! Glad the meeting wasn't as stressful as past ones. Yes, you still need to get moving before the worm turns.
    Yesterday was a total bear!! We were upgrading an existing system in a big hospital area and hit multiple snags. Day started at 7 and I did not get home until after10 last night. I did not weigh this morning since I was in the drive-thru at Taco Bell at 10 PM. We finally got things upgraded and stabilized enough to leave it with the night support team, but will head back in that direction this morning and pray for a quieter (and shorter) day.
    On the up-side, the weather here is like a July miracle. Cool, breezy, no humidity. Just heavenly!!
    Here is wishing everyone a wonderful day.
    Waves to all,
    Suzu

    Missy we all deserve a new start, sometimes it is hard to convince those around us and sometimes it is hard convincing ourselves. For me it is convincing someone that after 20 years I want to learn something new.....

    Wishing all a good night.

    Have read and caught up yet again.
    We had about 36 hours of summer, last night when I went to bed around 11 it was hot and nice so I left all windows open. By 1 there was a massive thunderstorm, so cool tonight that the furnace will probably be kicking in soon.

    The part came for the car and hubby got it installed, it’s helped but I don’t think it’s fixed yet. Ugh!

    I think we still have about 3 payments on it, after that I think we’ll se about getting hubby another vehicle and we’ll fix this as we can for me.

    THURSDAY

    Good morning,

    Cafe special is just too much food so taking leftovers from last night. Portion size cannot be "super size" if I want to lose weight.

    QOTD- How is everyone's week going?

    I ask because either you have had a scorching week or will - eating habits can go a little off.....

    AOTD- fine so long as I keep the water intake going.

    Florida Meghan and Midwest Lynn - check in sometime - just wondering how you are. Dont mean to nag as life gets busy - okay I am nagging.

    Canada Tracy- finding/getting car parts for certain cars and older cars is a real KITTEN. At least you dont have to pay the cost of labor at a car shop...... that is a real NSV. DH gets points.

    Wave to all who follow.

    AOTD - my week should improve because my friend James has come back down for a three-day visit. He is a vegetarian, and he eats modestly. I do better when I have humans around and don't eat to make myself feel better. We went to the farmers market yesterday - yay!

    Waves to everyone~~

    Hello!
    My weeks are flying by. I may not check in as often. I work tomorrow and Monday and then we drive to the other side of the state for the wedding! EEk! I did get my dress back so that is good. I do like it and the fit. So I think I am ready? We will see how ready the place is - it is an outside wedding and reception (in a tent) Fingers crossed it all goes well.
    Sara - congrats on a state interview! That is awesome!
    Missy - honestly - life is too short to not make positive changes when they are called for! Good luck with the decision making!
    Lana - I LOVE farmers markets. I still am waiting for my very own personal chef that can cook me all these great meals with fresh veggies :wink: Maybe a CB?
    Waves to Suzu,Tracey, Dawn and all others who stop by!

    FRIDAY

    Good morning,

    For those who ask why I put the day of the week when I start each days post- sometimes I forget the day and this keeps me accountable (3 more days to weigh in).

    Someone showed me how to get to State job interview Monday- not too bad will print out mapquest at work.

    HOTTEST temps are tomorrow and Sunday. Glad I can stay inside those 2 days.

    Wave to all who follow. Lurking as usual.

    Morning!! Lynn - Whew! Exciting! You have to post pics from the wedding.

    Sara - Good luck with the interview!

    Lana - I'm so glad your friend is with you! I hope you have fun, eat healthily and heal a bit.

    Waves to all! Tracey, Tracy, Dawn, Kathryn, and anyone missed.

    Ok so this is for serial weight loss starters. That really discribes me. I’m to the point where I have an information session on medical intervention for weight loss in Aug. I need this to be my last start because I have two kids and high blood pressure at the age of 30. The likelyhood of me having a heart attack soon is high and I need to get off that train. This is my first time trying to be active in a community so if you feel like you can offer support or you post daily or anything that will make you an active person in my journey please reach out. I’ve had a lot of trouble in the past creating a support group. Cheers to the first day of the last time.

    Saturday.....

    Tracey in Edmonton - So very sorry to hear of your loss. What a sad situation: your friend does healthy things for herself, yet this happens. I am sad for you that you are not able to make the huge trip for the funeral. 😓
