Good morning ☀️
It's a little gloomy here. I've redone my do list, and it's time for a second cup of coffee.
Today I will start my cleaning/reorganizing project. I think that it will give me a lot of gentle steps, since I cannot actually go walking yet. The achilles tendon is improving though. When I was on that cruise, I managed an average of 2.75 miles per day. Not too shabby!
I hope that you all have a good day.

Good evening,
Enough wind to start sinus issues. Tired with headache possible.
Cannot go outside as there are 3 screaming kids playing and it just make me grit my teeth. They need to be children and I need to not hear it, so nap time for me.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

Back again! Logging again and getting back on track. I know I need to lose weight, I’ve gone over my “max weight” and my clothes are tight. Let’s get it 😀2

Good morning everybody~~
Hello tmne7633 👋🏻
Well, I did stupid things yesterday, and the scale tracked it all for me. Getting back up on the balance beam today.
Sara - I hope that Ms. Monster stays away from you today.
Waving to Missy and Tracy in Tennessee and Jordanna and Maureen and Sherry and Missionalman and anyone else who stops by later on~
What do y'all have planned for the weekend?

Good morning,
Went to Walmart early as I woke up early and ran into a friend from work.
Off to see if soccer is on TV and I will take knitting.
Windy and so allergies are bad and it may keep things cool.
Will try and walk to work starting Monday.
Wishing all a good day, Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
Hi All!
Happy Saturday! Weekend 2 of 4 off. Kinda nice going to be tough when they do put me back on the weekend schedule. Got plenty of yard work done. Not finished but made a good dent. Most of the laundry is done. Dogs are happy that they have had me all day. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings :-) And they must have updated the app because tracking I think seems a lot easier with that + button. Goal for the upcoming week is to track everything and attempt to post once a day even to just say hi!
@Tilliesmommy1 hope allergies aren’t too bad mine are starting back up. Have some pretty lilac bushes in the back. But my nose doesn’t find them very pretty.
@LanaCabana537 well I’m right there with you. Jumped up two lbs almost. We got this for next week.
Waves to all!

Hi! Starting over again after surgery and getting my thyroid hormone levels at normal for the first time in years. We yanked my thyroid in February for trying to strangle me, and then found out it was growing a little cancer too, so it's just as well it went. Now I'm over the surgery and getting ready to buckle back down to weight loss. My feet and back don't always want to cooperate with my goals, thanks to past issues, but I work around them.2

Happy Sunday everyone~~
Hello to Alexandra!!
Sara - I hope that your allergies will let you enjoy your day today. 🤗
Missy - Thanks for the info about the tracker. I know it's a good one--I should try using it again. (I'm very impatient, and I prefer to hand write in a paper journal, but I don't count calories. Yes, I get out of it what I put in...... true.
The sky is blue and the sun is out, so it should be a good day.

I've been having a quiet day with a lot of gaming because I did a ton of precooking yesterday. I need to do more today, but it may get pushed into tomorrow due to my midfoot being cranky and not wanting to be stood on.
I live with my boyfriend who will eventually be my husband, my girlfriend, and my 26 year old son from my previous marriage, who is being a roommate and paying rent while he goes to school to learn HVAC. He will soon start a job in IT for the state we live in, and she's going to school for IT work. I'm the stay at home "mom" for everyone.
Boyfriend had a burst of insight and inspiration last night about his code and stayed up till three am writing and checking code. Unsurprisingly, he's done a lot of napping today. (grin) It's fine; I'm not going great guns myself, and I am just trying to get some laundry through so that people who want to shower tonight have towels. Son is spending his afternoon gaming with online friends, and Girlfriend is a little manic so she sleeps in three hour bursts here and there, and from the snores emanating from her bedroom, I know what she's doing. (grin)
Tonight I made Beef with Mushrooms and Onions, which people had with white rice and some people had egg rolls with dipping sauce as well. Not me. My body dislikes cabbage and will throw a tantrum if I eat it and make me very sorry for my sins. It was really tasty. (As a general rule, I happily give out recipes, as I like food and am doing the small portion method of calorie reduction.)1 -
Good afternoon,
Went to church, had lunch and then read a book. Found the inside of my eyelids for awhile. So yeah typical Sunday.
Got my eye candy yesterday watching soccer....
Waking up 15 min earlier so I can strap on the tennis shoes and walk to work. I used to do it before my schedule had me leaving home in the dark. Not dark for awhile time to burn some more calories. Feet will not be my friend tomorrow but I can soak them.
Alexandra welcome to our group. Open board and recipes are appreciated. I made Hamburger casserole last night to use a square pyrex pan (lady at church was giving away her uncles who collected things....) and so 4 servings instead of 6 which I have a better chance of eating before I have no clue what they are in my freezer.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

I always label single meals that go into the freezer, because I won't remember. I do a lot of precooking and prep because I have chronic pain due to doing bad things to a foot in an auto accident in my twenties. Yep, the doctor was right, it's arthritic now. If I can break up prep into fifteen minutes here and fifteen minutes here, that's way easier on me.
I also do five week menus, which helps because three of the four of us are autistic and knowing what we will eat helps overall life anxiety. If anyone wants to know how I do it, I'll talk about it.
Tonight I am making streudel muffins to have for breakfast. I can spend that 350 any way I want, and for a change, this will be nice. If they don't work more than occasionally, I'll pop them in the freezer and just have them now and then.0 -

Hope everyone has had a good Monday and it wasn’t to manic. Mine was pretty steady but mellower when comparing routine manic Mondays. Still have a slight headache from yesterday. Think I didn’t drink enough water this weekend and interrupted sleep. Oldest dog got me up multiple times Saturday night having to go outside and threw up. Or maybe I’m just not used to be relaxing lol.2

Good evening,
Rained early this morning and I had no clue until I went outside to walk to work. Have almost 5k and that every day I work will add up.
Manic Monday - things not working especially computer software. I took 4 of my little stone penguins to work to help keep me happy.
Rain in forecast this week which is encouraging.
Ready to pass out on the couch. If you hear snoring, its me.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -

Good evening,
Colder here and wind is making it feel worse. Dental cleaning early and if I get my to do list done I will have time to do fun things tomorrow. What that is I do not know.

Good morning ☀️
Sara - I do hope that you do some fun things today!!
I am in trouble this week. I ate things a couple of days ago that were so self destructive and generally bad for you. Now the scale is showing me numbers I thought I was done with. I am going to be brave and post them here, even thought I don't want to. I hate this human condition of doing stupid things (emotional eating) and expecting to get away with it. 🤦🏼♀️

I'm up a pound, but I'm not going to stress because I'm eating right and I've been a lot more active, and I'm at the midpoint of my cycle, when I generally retain water anyway. I'll just make sure to drink a little more today, and it will slide off in due time.3

I'd love to join this discussion! Lifelong yo-yo-er and now back up to 210# AGAIN!!! I'm struggling with my back and I KNOW it is just the extra weight the last 2-3 years. I don't even have a really lofty goal. I would just like to get to 180 and stay there because I can be VERY active at that weight. Activity has gotten hard lately and it hasn't been that way since for many years. I am super inspired by your conversation and connection, which will help me move toward my goal.3

Good afternoon,
Leighwixo -- welcome!! open group so post when you can and activity is hard. Covid has changed our habits and I just started my walking again,
Lana - go sulk on the couch and then get up and walk this week.
All errands done (sweet potato fries (baked) with chili and cheese is dinner will make 2 servings so tomorrow is a reheat dinner. Summer is coming with all the yummy fruits and I look forward to it,
Lunch and oh yes a nap.
Wishing all a good day, Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
Dinner's served and mostly cleaned up. It was crab cakes and rice pilaf and pan-seared asparagus and homemade rolls. It was tasty.1

Hi Ladies,
Just stopping by at the end of the day. Welcome to Leigh!!
Sara - I can't do walking just yet. My achilles tendon has healed up quite a bit, but I think it's got another 20% to go. I have been moving though - cleaning and sorting and chucking unwanted stuff.
I tried to make a healthy dinner, but mis-read the packet for Knorr's Bearnaise sauce to go on the plain chicken breast with fresh veggies. It's not 100mg of salt for the whole pkg - there are 10 servings, and I used 80% of it. Gah. No wonder it tasted so good.
Sara - I bet you enjoy some of the very best fruit in the whole country! Good for you!

This is why I keep learning new recipes and techniques; I'm sensitive to fructose and I didn't grow up eating a lot of salt, and I don't now, so most premade things taste way too salty to me these days.0 -
Good evening, Cabana Crew!
I'm still around. Moose travel is out of hand this month. We did not get good pictures at the Stud Strut, but we did raise $959.00 in 15 minutes. Total money of all fundraisers was $5500. That money along with a trailer load of supplies was donated to the Carl Perkins Center for Abused and Neglected Children.
April 9th &10th was our District meeting in Lexington, TN. We stayed there rather than driving three hours round trip each day.
April 15th-17th, I have to go to Knoxville for a meeting. Then go to Franklin on the 19th for a doctor's appointment.
After that, I leave on another work trip to New Orleans. We will be gone from April 23rd-29th.
Eating properly is not even an option right now. I'm lucky if I manage to do enough laundry for clean underwear.
Do the best you can in your situation.

Good morning all~~
Tracy - Life has been exciting lately! Good for you! Loving that clean underwear 😁👍🏻
Alexandra - I somehow missed that you made crab cakes - how yummy!
Sara - I will try to get in a little bit of walking today. I will pretend I have a walking date with you!

Went to the store today and am now doing all sorts of precooking. I just did onions and peppers for a Mexican quichecake for breakfasts for Boyfriend, and have bacon in the oven for a second quichecake that will be bacon, grilled onions, and Swiss cheese. There's also some chicken needing to be cut up and frozen in various marinades. And I need to make bread, but I suspect that will get pushed to Sunday.1

Pupper is doing much better. She throws up every so often. Probably ate too much grass.0 -
Hi all,
This week got away from me between work and family in. Looking forward to the weekend!
Welcome to @Leighwixo0 -
Good evening,
Rain most of today - I keep an umbrella at work for this reason - it wasnt raining when I walked to work.
I could pull something from the freezer, but I have a yogurt and banana and that is enough for dinner. The cafe made baked potato soup and that was too good to pass up.
I was humming "tip toe through the tulips" by Tiny Tim. A youtube must see to believe....coworker about my age came by and asked if that was what I was humming. Not too people who remember him the first time so that was worth a chuckle.
Tracy - you are one busy person. All the places you get to go!
Nice day to stay inside and read.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.
