Good evening,
Soup and toast for dinner - heartburn from lunch not fun. 5k on feet. Laundry almost in dryer and peanut butter cookie dough in fridge.
I myself also find I am not getting WIFI connection too many people's phones around here.
Will mail out cards tomorrow. Almost midweek. Stay safe and sane out there.0 -

It's Wednesday.
Why haven't I changed the ladies walking time to later in the day? It's too cold at 9:30AM. Brrr......

Good morning!
Not much new here. Waiting for frigid cold weather this weekend. Thought maybe we would escape that as it is February now. No such luck. Will make some soup and stay warm

Lynn, I'm so bummed. We got through January. This shouldn't be happening. Who takes these complaints? I demand better service
Lana, good for you getting out in the morning even if it is cold. I wish I could get up and out--it just doesn't happen. I can't seem to set my personal clock back-- when I try to go to bed earlier, I end up awake for hours and too tired to get up early. And if I try to get up early after going to bed at my usual time, I am so sleepy in the early evening. Then I can't fall asleep at bedtime. I'd love to be up at 5 am again--I did that for years. I miss those quiet morning hours. Of course this coming week will *not* be the time to try to adjust; it's going to be dangerously cold. Ugh.

Good evening,
I am late - made cookies for lady driving me to vaccine tomorrow "can you put choc chips in them?" so it took me longer. I was imagining her saying "can you take the chips out?" and me tossing the bag out the car window!!!!
They are done and ready to go.
Got email from Dawn- thank you Lana. Lana watch your mail box. I sent 8 letters out to people who are home bound / secret pal / dealing with health issues and just need something other than computer contact.
5600 steps today I may run around the apt to see if I can get 6k - just for fun hahahahaha.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.0 -

Good morning all~~
Maureen, I never did get out there yesterday morning. There was only one other woman walking with me, and she messaged me to say she couldn't make it, so I bailed out too. Too early and too cold for me. I have to change the times of these walks for the next couple of months.
I wish you better luck in changing your sleeping time, when the time is right.
Sara, I am envious of you having an appointment to get a vaccine! I am trying to get an appointment, but everything is paused right now--NC just doesn't have the vaccine supply. Dang.
I will keep my eyes on the mailbox!
Waving to Tracy in Tennessee, and Missy, and Lynn, and Kathryn and Runa and Oishii and Melissa in NYC and everyone else who pops by later on~~

Hello all!
Yay Sarah - glad you got your vaccine. Hope not too bad of side effects.
Good morning Lana! I have not taken the time to investigate...but I am curious about the rest of the world. are they having issues with the vaccine as well. I know it is a huge undertaking, but it does seem slow.

Good afternoon-
Home and considering a nap. People over 55 are now getting access to the vaccine so while I got #2 shot they were getting #1.
Have tomorrow off as I am told the 2nd shot is sometimes harder the next day.
Got my 6k in today as I will be a couch potato tomorrow.

Good morning all~~
Seems we have made it to Friday. The Cabana Boys will have a celebratory happy hour late in the afternoon 🌴🎉
There is a Meetup group in my area called Hiking Over The Hill 😜, and they are doing a walk tomorrow someplace I've never been to---Jordan Lake. Their group is men and women, and they have a lot of participants. I may or may not walk with them tomorrow, but my joining their group yesterday has motivated me to get back in shape, so that I can become able to attend and keep up with them in the near future.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

First time in the 10 years I’ve been on
MyFitnessPal that I’ve made a proper progress photo, because I’ve finally not just lost and gained the same 5kg...

Good morning!
Oishii - great job!
Lana- your walking group sounds great! I hope it works out for you!
Sarah - Yay! 2nd shot! How are you feeling today?
Waves to all. Sunshiny here. But oh so cold....Sunday a high of 0 Fahrenheit! yikes. But every day we get through is one day closer to warmer weather
~Lynn0 -
Good morning,
Oishii good for you - not big on taking pictures of self for any reason.
Lynn, my arm is sore but otherwise no aftereffects.
Monster has her hands full with 2 of her favorite employees so while she may be gunning for me she is otherwise distracted and I am grateful. These 2 are showing their true colors and coworkers are not surprised one bit.
Lana - remember any walking is more than no walking.
TGIF - will get steps in dancing as I have no where to go and the gardeners are blowing all the dust and pollen in the air.
Cup of tea and reading until lunch.

Sara, did you have Pfizer or Moderna? I just realized I've bought tickets to fly the day after my 2nd Moderna vaccination and I've heard it can be a tough day. Not happy with myself! Oh, well; I'll survive.
It's 3 pm and I just finished my cals for the day, and there is no way in heck I'm going outside for exercise for at least a week. Dang. Should have planned better I hit 191 for the first time today since . . . 2009? I'm glad to be there but the timing sucks b/c it is mid-winter and our worst cold so far this year. I am such a baby.
Lana, I hope you get your shot soon. NC is looking better and better to me lately. I want you all to succeed.
In the meantime, I'll just log my meal and plan to go to bed early.0 -
Pfizer - my covid vaccine card - mine to keep in case I travel - says so1

Hello, I would like to join you. I have started over too many times to count. I lost a bunch of weight 10 years ago but I am up 60 lbs from my goal weight. I got an activity tracker and a smart scale. Not sure why but these things encourage me.

Good morning everybody~~
Welcome to LoriAnne 👋🏻
Just getting us started. Will be back later.
Lana0 -
Welcome, LoriAnne.
Sara, thanks for sharing that info. I'm hoping I can avoid any major post-2nd shot symptoms. I don't want to be booted from my flight b/c I got the vaccine!
I woke up early today and couldn't fall back asleep, so despite the fact that it's dangerously cold this weekend, I may try to shift my sleep schedule to early morning rising. That means trying NOT to nap today. When there is so little I can do--and it's so quiet, and the heat is pouring out b/c it's so freaking cold outside . . . I'm getting bored with my Covid "lifestyle," probably b/c I haven't gotten out enough this winter. I know-same old complaint. I gotta make a plan to move, I guess.
Maybe I'll just eat at maintenance over the next few awful days. I won't be getting much exercise, that's for sure. In and out with the dogs a half dozen times each day (b/c each "walk" is about 2 minutes, max, so their feet don't freeze). I have toyed with the idea of going up and down my 2 sets of stairs multiple times. Let's see how desperate I get

Good afternoon,
Maureen, I had a bad headache for a couple of days. Most people do not, but they do suggest you take it easy - are you going to fly the same day?? Nothing wrong with stair work. People go to gyms and pay for that kind of work out.
Groceries this morning, hair cut/color and reading/sleeping most of day.

Good morning,
We have partly cloudy skies today so some sun.
Today is a repeat of yesterday so not much going on and that is just fine. Monsterland tomorrow.

Cold AF today and for another full week. I thought it would be five days, max. Ugh. SO bored and SO unwilling to go anywhere--between the cold and my natural hermit tendencies. Not getting out to the dog park for this many days, and not jogging, is hard. I may have to brave the elements regardless of the cold. At least if I'm jogging, I eventually warm up. It's just the thought of getting started. And the ice--with weather this cold, anything that the sun eventually melts just refreezes soon and our roads and sidewalks are icier than usual. The dogs' feet start to freeze after 2-3 minutes so they can't be out long, either.
In other bad news, my daily calorie budget just dropped another 50 b/c I put in a new, lower weight. Not great, given that I can't offset with much exercise. Sara, you are right about the stairs--I just don't seem willing to do that, though. Maybe in a couple more days when I'm truly desperate.
My goodness, I'm making a big fuss over nothing. I'm warm, I'm safe, and I have plenty of healthy food. I'll cheer up, sooner or later

So, I went running. Feeling so much better. Might have to make it daily when I can't do the dog park. And it gives me a few more cals to play with, too.2

Hurray - the sun is out. This will make working on The Dreaded Paperwork a bit easier. No plans for exercise--I need to get this stuff done....

Good afternoon,
Lana hope you got your paperwork done -tax season related? Mine are still waiting to be printed...
Just got off the phone with this guy and he was moderately jerk ish . Telling me I need to pay cash up front for a mobile home as there are no loans out there to get. So it is possible I am back to square one. It was so nice of me to not tell jerk to screw up into a tight little ball, but it would do me no good to get angry. So need to regroup and maybe get some more steps in.
Seems someone in our dept is positive for COVID- dont know if it is someone working at the office. Through a side of paranoia on this junk food plate.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.0 -
I've lost and gained so many times to even count. Lowest weight 118 highest 240 current 209. My poor metabolism. Hypothyroidism doesn't help.2

Hey, @catgirl2289, welcome. We've all been there.
I am contemplating going out for something to eat. I have the cals in my budget for the day. And the temp is still above 0, haha. I'm curious to see what I will decide.
I've been working almost 12 hours straight and I need to move. I've taken the dogs out 2x but their feet freeze, so it's back in quickly. Didn't even get up to eat except once. Hence the plentiful cals in the evening.
Taxes, yeah, gotta think about that at some point too.1 -

That’s awful about the jerkish guy. There will be other mobile homes that won’t try pressuring you.
Hope you didn’t have any contact with that person. It’s scary it’s around everywhere. I’ve known a few ppl that had it. Luckily they all recovered.
