Waiting for grocery delivery - it is worth paying to not going into a closed space where 100's of people breathe and they have enforced the mask rule again -but I always wonder and oooh!!! I am lazy.......
Knitting and walking are on my to do list as well as going to the bank - going to the asian store (earlier is less people) and depending on what I get on my "wish list/grocery list" see if I can make dinner?
Lana - I recently found that my hips were very sore because of the height I put my chair and that walking was the only thing that helped - walking is the best/easiest exercise. Good for you.
Wishing all a good day. Stay safe and sane out there.
I did grocery delivery for the first time last week don’t know why I never did before. It’s soo easy! And safer

Accountability:
1/13: P4 Week 2 Day 4 : Arms and Abs 60mins
11 Days GFDF. 3 Days SF |
01/08: 108.0 (up .5)
01/10: 107.6 (back down from Fridays #)
1/12: 107.8 <-- taking more effort than I want to reduce weight!
1/13: 108.0 <-- I guess that's okay. Waiting for a whoosh.....
Missy/Gem - Oh, I get that completely. Living up north in South Dakota the thermostat never went above 71. My grandma kept hers at 68. Down here in Memphis, it doesn't take as much $ because its mid 50's in the day. So much easier in the winter to keep it warmer.
Mornin' Lana!
My workout was bicep curls and Tricep kickbacks and dips. So not much of a heart thumper. I keep waiting for the scale to catch up to my mind and eating habits. Tracked 100% yesterday (as good as I could) I'm hopeful that the habit of tracking will pay off. Basically trying "More water" less actual food.
I went to the sauna last night for 15mins. My heart rate was around 110 while in there. That was impressive, close to what it is when I take a walk. I had read the sauna is supposed to be helpful for releasing toxins. No clue how well studied that is.
Warm here today, mid 50s again. Should be able to walk with just a longsleeve shirt on. Sun is shining and looks delightful. I got my booster shot yesterday....arm feels a bit sore but, other than that I think Im feeling good.

Good evening,
Long day- we now have to wear KN95 or "paper" masks at work - seems cloth are not as effective....I have some but I will order more. That seems to stress me out a little more.
First salad for lunch that I made for lunch tomorrow - taking to work in my new little 3 part storage unit. I got 5k in steps today and because I lowered my chair at work my hips dont hurt as much.
Just glad tomorrow is Friday!!!1 -

Good morning Missy ☀️ I see you've got some really cold temps coming at night this weekend--gather up the pups to make a fur blanket for yourself!
Sara - It must be difficult being in a phone-centric workplace and now have to wear those paper masks. How will people hear what you are saying I wonder. I ordered some N95 masks for myself to make traveling safer later this month; I hope that they come soon.
Waving to Tracy and Sherry 👋🏻🌴
What is everyone doing this weekend?
I maybe have an ice storm coming; crossing fingers we do not lose power!

Yes cuddling with the pups are on the schedule. I’m pretty much working this weekend. Next day off is Feb 5th. 😫 I really need to find a better paying job so I don’t have to work weekends and go to grad school without taking out any loans.1 -
Good evening,
Tell you where my mind was, I was going to congratulate Lana for have an Ice Cream storm coming - oops need to reread.
I sent an email to Mgr adm assist to ask where the sanitize stations went to and are they going to be reinstated? I figure if you are making me ante up it is only fair. Lana yes I often wonder about being able to hear with mask to mask phone calls - that mic is pretty much as close outside my mask and I speak a little louder. Also mandated to get booster shot so I will look in that this weekend.
First salad taken to work did well. Need to learn to shovel faster as I have only 30 minutes.
New boss for Monster starts Monday..... should be interesting.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

I think that has been most people this week. I would wish for an ice cream storm lol
It’s hard enough to understand and be understood with these mask in person. I can only imagine over the phone.
30 minutes goes by fast. I never finish in 30 minutes. Not a fast eater at all.
Good luck with new boss for Monster!0 -
*** January 15 ***
Half-way through January, almost!
Missy - take good care of yourself over the next couple of weeks. I understand what it is like to work for weeks without a single day off. Big hugs 🤗
Sara - That is interesting that Monster's boss disappeared. Keep us posted on the continuing adventure!
As for the salads for lunch, maybe you can take soup or a sandwich some of the days, and have the salads at home for dinner? With only 30 minutes for lunch, it's tough. Fresh veggies take a longer time to chew.
Tracy and Sherry, are you getting ready for this storm? I am nervous about a power loss. 😬

Good morning, Cabana Crew!
Lana, so sorry they are calling ice for you. I'm not too worried about power outages with this storm. That usually happens with freezing rain and overhead power lines. The weather casters are not expecting freezing rain here and my area has underground power.
My boss told me not to come in Monday. As a matter of fact, he basically told me to come and go at the office as I please.
On the mask situation, we've been wearing them full time since the beginning. However, we have to wear surgical masks. N95 are not allowed because they have to be fit tested.
Hope everyone is healthy and happy. Do the best you can in your situation.

Good evening,
Got a new filter for my air purifier and it is almost magical how much better it is to sleep and my sinus are not as bad.
Watched soccer and the underdog tied up the game and that was so much fun to watch.
Finished one of my shawls that I will donate to church for either someone who needs one to stay warm or someone who wants to donate some $$$ to church.
Another zoom service tomorrow, so not sure what rest of day will bring.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -

Good morning all 🌨
Tracy - I'm glad that you will not have ice. That is very cool about your power lines being underground. I'm in a very old neighborhood, and all it takes is for one branch or tree to cause a problem with a power line, and they shut down the whole area until they can repair that one line.
Crossing fingers.
Tracy - any word on the possible February work-trips?
Sherry - I'm assuming if Tracy is good with the storm that you are good with the storm.
Sara - you enjoy your day.

Good morning,
Church via zoom glad- just to see people in any manner possible-, dropped off my Walmart bags that are used for food pantry on Tuesday and shawl. Will start shawl #2 today. Also looking for patterns to crochet hearts for 02/14
Have a salad jar and do not need to fill completely but I have greens mix and coleslaw mix which adds crunch. Oil and vinegar might just be the dressing as it goes w/ most things.
Lana your ## are lower and good going !! Keep up the good work.

Phew 😮💨 today was a busy day at the retail job there was so many customers out buying stuff!1

Good morning everyone ☀️
Sara - you are right about seeing people on Zoom is much better than not seeing people at all.
Yes - Valentine's Day is coming. I've always liked that day because it is cheerful and goes beyond couples, you know?
Missy - how are things up north? Will you have any trouble getting to work today? We can see forecasts, but it's hard to know how much snow people got.
Waving to Sherry and Tracy and anyone else who pops by later on 🌴
Sadly, four days in a row of no exercise seems to be showing up at the scale. Yikes.

Good evening,
Glad have tomorrow off, Monster is in high gear as her new boss is on site.
Got my new masks and the ear loops look more flexible than the ones that hurt my ears Friday.
Just into the one hundred crowd again. After dinner snacking gets me too often.

It's Wednesday! Yay!
I'm trying to cheer myself up and find some motivation. I am starting to do my Lana travel-cringe dance. I have to go up to NYC on Saturday, and it's supposed to snow on Friday, and I hate hate hate going anywhere when it's cold, especially New York City. Blechhhhh. Important medical appointments; must go.
*🌴Cabana Boys hurrying over with some spray Valium🌴*
There. That's better.
Sara - enjoy your day away from The Monster!

Good evening,
Thank you Lana, I got a lot done. Glad your spray valium helped. Cold and snow never make travel easier but go you need to - get rewards.....
Having a salad with soy sauce chicken breast (3 were in the crock pot all day....). Went earlier today to church to make dinners.
Got a lot done today and my list is finished- phew.
Knitting and then z time.

Sara - I'll be curious to know if Monster "performs" or otherwise puts on an act for her new boss. As you often say - keep your head down.
Good karma--all of that charity work that you do. ✨🧡✨

Good evening,
Last night the lady made carrot pudding (hot dish) - carrots, sautéed onions,ritz crackers and grated cheese. Mash carrots, smash crackers, put into greased oven dish - I will make it soon as I like carrots.
Tomorrow I get teeth cleaned at dentist and they need all the help they can get. Too much coffee. But I will try and pick up the better toothpaste and the hydroxide cleaner for my teeth "plates" - I ran out a couple months ago.
Dinner was chicken breast made from last night on french bread and hummus -peanut m/ms for dessert and bag is done. Started off so well calorically and then dropped down a hole........

It is a tad chilly here in the Carolinas. How is it where you all are? I'm thinking that Sara's area is the warmest.....

Good morning ladies!!
It's been a hot minute since I've been on here. But I just found out I am maid of honour in my good friends wedding, and that I'm supposed to go to hawaii in the summer with my other friend for her wedding. So I need to get smaller!!! I'm living alone now (just went through a break up) so I should be able to control myself. The gyms just opened back up again so that will be good too. I was working out so much in November and December, but then they closed down where I am because of COVID. Thankfully, they re-opened.
You ladies are amazing, still here and supporting each other. I'm happy to be back.
DAY ONE
Have a good day!2 -
*** January 23 ***
Happy Sunday ☀️
Jordanna - it is so good to see you!!! When is the wedding that you are in? It seems that there's nothing like a wedding to get people all fired up to get smaller, as you said. Run with it! Use that good energy to get yourself going in the right direction 👍🏻
A friend of mine texted me a cool thing today. Sorry it's a bit huge, but I think the idea is pretty cool!
Lana

Good afternoon,
Spent time in the kitchen and made a small amount of the carrot side dish - need to get more carrots and make a larger portion. Also cooked up spinach - dinner will be those two and dont know what else.
Okay it may be warmest here, but that is usually the case- its when it gets over 100 degrees that few people are jealous.
Scarf on needles is neon yellow, bright pink, and bright orange. Not quite blinding but close.
I got a nice stoneware casserole dish with lid at a thrift store made in Japan (googled it made in the 1970's) so next time I have more carrots and make my carrot dish it will be big enough. I also got 3 tops and a sweater so nice day at the thrift store.
Got 6k walking yesterday and was asleep almost immediately last night and did not wake up sore, so I can increase my daily steps.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
Thanks Lana! It's good to be back. The wedding I am in is on October 9th. But then my other friend wants me to go to hawaii for her bachelorette in the summertime too. So lots of reasons to lose some weight! I'm feeling good. I have the whole week off to do some cooking and prep some healthy stuff. My back is bad right now, but I'll go to the gym as soon as I can. I loved it there, I was having a lot of fun with the free weights. COVID shut all our gyms down in BC for weeks, but they are finally open again.
Here's to day two!2 -
*** January 24 ***
Good morning all~~
Sara - what is this carrot side dish you speak of? I love carrots, but always eat them plain because I don't know anything else.
It's nice to hear about your scoring some treasures at the thrift store. Good for you!
Jordanna - good news about the gym being open again. It's nice that you have a week off. If I remember correctly, you are a nurse, and you've probably been over-worked for a long time. Do whatever light exercises you can to help your back. (...and I will do the same!)

Good evening,
Lana - carrot dish is 4 items - cooked to soft carrots mashed, sauteed onion,ritz crackers (I pulverized them -dont make them dust like I did) and shredded cheddar cheese - that's why I bought casserole dish. Grease baking pan/dish and heat to melt all flavors together at medium temp.
Everyone's monthly eval at work is just delightful. Dragon breath is enjoying life too much. I am looking forward to speaking to her Supervisor...... That said trying to lay low.
