Happy Friday,
Lynn it is summer so these temps are normal, it is 99 (got to103) should be cooler this weekend under 100 which is okay.
Missy if teaching and doing research is your goal, sounds like a good plan. I have a enough credits to make another degree but nobody would accept them. I got tired of the bureaucratic bull and stopped at an Masters, but I also love doing research so if you can get one of those to open the right doors for you - do it.
Lana please update us on the dr visit. It is one way to lose weight but not the best way.
My weekend plans just flew out the door, so I will have to make do.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -

Sara - Sorry to hear that your weekend plans flew out the door. Any back-up plans on tap?
I saw my regular doctor yesterday. I could go into detail, but that wouldn't be nice for you all 🤣
The lower GI symptoms seem to be resolving, but she wanted to run a few tests, so we will see what the labs say in a few days. She thinks I may have simply gotten some bad food, and if there is an infection, she'll prescribe something to treat it. I am feeling 80% better today.
Time to cut up and steam some veggies to have on hand.....

Good evening,
Quiet day. Did some online watching, knitting and napping. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday.
My amazon hot chocolate purchase was a disaster, I didnt register the word "vegan" and blech. I will take to church thinking someone might enjoy it.
Lana glad to see your issues may be temporary and treatable. One does get more concerned as one has more birthdays.
My work's cafe owner gave me a huge box of blueberries and I froze them - so I will have them with breakfast for awhile. Second super food I have gotten from her this week. Hint is not lost on me.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.0 -

Wow Y'all~~ It's August!
Sara - bummer about the accidental vegan hot chocolate, but Amazing about the blueberries! What a treat!
....and yes, you are quite correct about being more concerned when one is up there in age, as I am. 👍🏻
Waving to Tracy and Lynn and Missy and all who swing by today 🌴

Happy Monday, Cabana Crew!
Whew! Glad it's Monday. Weekend had me doing more work for no money than I do for money. Lodge Shrimp Boil and Corn Hole Tournament went well. Lots of work, super hot outside (about 112 F), but it was fun. About 14 hours at the Lodge for me.
Yesterday, we had a wake for one of our members who died Thursday. Sudden and completely unexpected heart attack. I got to the Lodge at 12:30 pm and finally left at 10:30 pm. So 10 more hours. On my feet most of that time, preparing the buffet and cleaning the Lodge to receive visitors, then bartending later in the evening when our other volunteer needed a break. I was the only one who could run the credit cards and for some reason, I'm the only one who knows where everything is: Plates, cups, forks, extra beans, salt, etc. Every time I took a step, three people wanted me in three different directions.
Other questions:
Can I take this ham bone home to my dog?
Is it okay if I pour out the leftover tea?
What should we do with the rest of the food?
Can you put this application in and date it for yesterday so they don't have to pay the application fee? {no, btw}
Should we get more beer since there are a hundred people in the Lodge drinking beer and we are almost out?
(The last two came from the person who is in charge of the Lodge.)
On the plus side, more than 10,000 steps each day. I've hardly eaten anything all weekend and I really don't want much food now.
Hope everyone has a great week! Drink your water and do the best you can in your situation.

Hello
Wowzers Tracy - just reading that made me tired! I would not be good at that job. I get a bit snarky at questions like that LOL.
Lana - I too am glad that you are better. Hopefully by today it is 100%.
Sara- I LOVE Cheetos. You made me laugh with that little comment about them.
Have a great Monday.

Hi everybody 👋🏻
Tracy - I'm surprised you weren't wearing roller skates to keep up this weekend! Laughing at the question about the beer! 🤦🏼♀️
Sorry to hear about your lodge member who passed away unexpectedly. That's hard on the family.
"Rest up" at work this week! 🤣
Sara and Lynn - I SO want some Cheetos now. I've been craving junk food, and there isn't any in the house, today at least.....
Lana

Good evening,
Tracy - your post made me laugh - people say the strangest things.... glad you got a work out in as well.
Lynn- we could just sit on the couch over there in the corner with a family size bag and not tell anyone except our fingers would be so orange!!!! But well worth it.
Computers at work were all wonky and I began to wonder if the computer gnomes were at work. Made for a hard day trying to get things done. Hmmm.
Peep again when you can Lana.

Clouds are hanging over North Carolina this morning ☁️
Sara - crossing fingers for you that the computer gnomes leave you in peace today.
I will be joining you and Lynn today over in the corner with the family-sized bag of Cheetos. Let's make it two bags.....
Waving to Tracy and Missy and anyone else who stops by later on~~

Thank you! I was so tired after work yesterday that I ran a low grade fever and went to bed at six pm.
Best life hack ever: use chopsticks to eat your Cheetos. No orange fingers! I'll bring another bag and a case of Sunkist soda. Let's have an orange party to brighten things up.
Do the best you can in your situation.

Chopsticks for eating Cheetos! I love it!1 -
Good evening,
Chopsticks!!! Wow never would have thought. Giggling like a 5 year old over here.
Have tomorrow off, some apts but can also take naps at some point.
Air quality is not good so the heavy duty masks come out again - so thrilled I cant stand it.
Oops one last snack size Cheetos bag to eat.... time to go.

Hi!
Thanks for the memes Missy! Hilarious!
Good job on the early walk Lana!
I actually got out and walked around a short block at work today. See Dr again Monday - hoping for more lifted restrictions.
Enjoy your day Sara!
Waves to all!

Good morning,
Up early to meet with lady who sells jewelry /stones/minerals to pick up my latest order. Good stuff.....
Dr apt on zoom is over, I can eat an early lunch and then get a couple things at the store and work at the church for their upcoming yard sale.
Missy - thank you!! I didnt know they had meme's for cheetos but I guess they have memes for everything.
Lynn and Lana - good job getting out and walking. I will get my steps in at the church with no problems.

Good evening,
Coworker has been out with lung illness. We all wear masks all day long so hopefully nobody else gets it. She says she is on the end of her antibiotics, but still.....
Oh yeah Lana it is amazing how little food will put bricks in your pockets when you weigh in.
I pulled out my cooking for 2 cookbook and will start looking at buying more and cooking more in sets of 2 - buy 4 or 6 of something and freeze the rest of it so that I dont have 6 servings of the same thing.
Tired of fires and drought, but what do you do???

*** Friday ***
Good morning All~~
I am happy to say that for the first time in months there are two other ladies signed up to walk the Friday morning walk, so I am going!! The temps will be mild this morning, so that's probably why they signed up. "Pumpkin Loop" it is!
Sara - That's a good plan to shake things up a bit with your cooking for 2 recipes. Stay cool and stay masked!
Lynn - Did you say you have an appointment today with the doctor? I hope he/she gives you good news....let us know!
Waving to Tracy and Missy and anyone else who pops by today 👋🏻

Good morning all~~
Lynn - A while back, my sister and I made plans for me to fly out to her house for Thanksgiving this year, and I said to myself "I have to lose some weight before that trip!" So I came up with a lofty (unrealistic) goal for the end of November..... yesterday I decided to put the turkey there instead of typing "Thanksgiving" 😜
Well, yesterday I went bonkers with an eating-fest, and of course the scale tracked it for me....
Nothing but toothpicks and water for me today. That's an old expression of my mother's.
I hope you all have a good day!

Happy Saturday! I’m a day late for the cabana boys whoops! Today was a good day got a lot of things done that were on my to do list, got the garage cleaned out with the help of my mom and Matt, groomers and picked up a ring I had put on consignment 2 years ago that still hadn’t sold. I’m kinda relieved as I’m in a much better place now than then. Just need to work on my eating habits and exercise. I didn’t like what the scale read this morning and I tracked everything I ate today and well both are not good. Tomorrow is another day and the start to a better week. Hope everyone has a great weekend! I somehow got 3 days off!!!
Goal weight: 110

Good evening,
Yard sale at the church went well. They sat me in the back room for security- to keep the cross breeze going and tell people to see the rest of the items. I also helped 5 people collect more things to buy offering them carts on wheels.
Got my 6k in this smoky sky day and came home and slept for a couple of hours. I did not go home empty handed either but was very careful not to buy just because....
Pork and chicken bought to use this week. Frozen veg and instant potatoes ready as well. Small steps.
