Good morning all~~
I was just typing the above words, and I mis-typed "morning", so the auto-correct offered up the word "mooring".
Hmm. I think that that is a nice sentiment to take away today: I wish all of you good mooring.
May you be safe in your harbor.

My little boat was not tied up securely.
XDH has called. Emotions have tired me out.
Shopping has happened. But a lot of walking has happened - and that is a big deal (achilles healing)
Drinking has happened. But good eating will happen.
Checking in with my peeps at The Cabana Club has happened.
Thank you 💗

Got a lot done today, including picking up the cake for Girlfriend's birthday tomorrow, and I am running low on spoons by this time of night. Oof.1

Good morning,
Came home last night, waited for my grocery delivery and went to take a 90 min nap - slept through the alarm and woke up almost 4 hours later. Gee was I tired?
Just for fun I got on scale in at the end of the day. Stinky.
Rain between now and daylight is welcome and more rain in week to come. It wont cure our drought but better than nothing.
Now that I am wide awake. I am going to the Cabana Club to wake up some of the boys.
Wishing all a good rest of today. Stay safe and sane out there.0 -

Happy Saturday everyone~~
Sara - you must have been exhausted. Glad to hear that you slept. Take it easy today 🌸
Alexandra - have a fun time with girlfriend for her birthday!!!
It's a dreary day here, and I am going to spend it chilling and doing paperwork.

Good evening,
Food choices marginal but at least the feasting has stopped,
Cloudy and sunny today which is a change. Tuesday through Friday they say more rain. Means I dont have to look at my summer items just yet.
Monster has Friday and Monday off so long weekend for us coming. Just is a lot quieter when she is gone.
Need to get some steps in.

Happy Easter,
Lana I agree. Easter bunny is gone with all its candy and it will be months until we see it again,
Scale is downright ugly. I will leave it at that.
Hope to get some walking in.
Wishing all a good day. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -

Oh my goodness, it is Monday.
Yes, Sara, my scale is indeed downright ugly too. That show's me it's time to wrangle all of the wild horses in my head, and get 'em all back into the healthy paddock.
Waving to all who pop by later on 👋🏻💗

Good evening,
Walking to work makes 5k easy now to add more steps, as it may be the only way to get the poundage down.
Wish all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
Good Morning 🌞☀️😃
Hope everyone had a great weekend and Easter holiday. Was busy with family this weekend and busy day at work yesterday. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning Missy! My friend in Vermont got 8 inches of snow; did Rhode Island get any?
Sara - that walking to work sounds good! Keep at it while you can, before the heat comes. ⭐️
Yesterday I did an eating behavior that I remember discussing in Weight Watchers years ago: continuing to eat something that doesn't taste good and isn't worth the points/calories.
I bought a package of sweet corn at the grocery store. It looked so nice. Four ears of corn per package, already mostly peeled.
Well, I cooked it, and started eating the first piece, and I realized that it had absolutely NO flavor. (No surprise considering what time of year it is). I had put butter and even some salt on it, but it wasn't enjoyable.
The bad behavior was eating all four pieces, somehow hoping that one of them would taste good.
I should have thrown all of them away, but I didn't.

Checking in All~~
I am steaming up some shrimp vegetable dumplings for dinner - not much fat, and a lot of vegetables added along side.

On the subject of scented candles: I think that they are a calorie-free way to pamper oneself. Do you like them ?0 -
Good evening,
Scented candles are also very relaxing and can make you feel good - like you said without calories.
Easter dinner from neighbor was dinner and I have ham for sandwich tomorrow.
My empty day somehow got full quickly. At least it evens things out (sort of).
Passed out after work - so there went my evening, but sleep is underrated.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.0 -

Happy 4-20 Y'all~~
I don't partake, but I think that it's fun to have a "pot day".
Goodness-- if I did indulge, I'd be bigger than a house, because back in my school days it would give me an endless case of the munchies.
Sara - ham is wonderful and sleep is wonderful!
Waves to all who stop by today 🌴

Tracy - thinking of you, with all of your running around and appointments. I hope that yesterday went well.

Good evening,
Started to make cookies for church/work then realized I was looking at the wrong recipe and had to double the right recipe so 30 cookies becomes 60 or so. I am babysitting the oven right now.
Spent afternoon in church kitchen making dinners. Got at least 4k today which considering I really havent gone anywhere is pretty decent.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
*** April 21 ***
Well, one eye is open ☀️
Sara - I admire your energy and desire to bake and also to volunteer at the church kitchen! Good for you!
Today I am having a "therapy session" with a bunch of baby goats. I've never done this before.
Lana
266.8 today3 -
Good evening,
Goats are adorable what kind of therapy are you doing? Weight training? Learning to laugh at them? Will you be getting a goat?
Took 3 dozen plus cookies to work. Made 1 dozen for church and ate the last dozen - considering I doubled the batch by accident and usually I eat half of them, this is an improvement. Getting my 5k every day.
Got sprinkled on walking to work and missed a major down pour going home. Phew.

Good Morning! RI I guess got a dusting in parts but not my area. The huskies felt left out lol. And it’s tough to throw away food. Think a lot of us have been brought up to finish what’s on your plate, let no food go to waste mindset. I would have a hard time throwing it away myself.

I didn’t partake either, never have. It’s funny that usually I hear or see something about 4/20 but it was relatively not a thing this year. Idk 🤷🏼♀️ maybe I was just to busy to notice lol.0 -

Happy Friday Y'all~~
The goat thing yesterday was cute. A young lady showed me into a certain goat area where there were three adult female goats, two ready to give birth any day now, and a half dozen baby goats.
She gave me a bunch of carrot strips and some sort of grain, which made me very much the center of attention.
I just sat there on a bench and enjoyed having the little ones climb on me and around me--they are too young to eat any treats. The little ones were quite vocal at no one in particular.
It was fun to do because it was just something different for me. I might do it again next year.
I hope that everyone has a good weekend!

Good evening,
I get posts on FB with baby goats every so often they are fun to watch - I am glad you had a great time Lana.
Cookies were peanut butter chocolate chip oatmeal - recipe on allrecipes.
Tired and although its early - find me snoring on the couch at the cabana club. It may be the 5500 steps I got today and I am usually wiped by Friday.

Good evening,
Got 5k today. Bought 2 chairs from hairdresser to watch movies etc with. Found my car could fit them both at once.
Went to International store and bought all kinds of cookies/snacks with the bananas I had on my list..... My bag wasnt full enough I guess.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

Hi everyone! I’m a serial starter who is a qualified weight management practitioner AND nutrition coach specialising in food as medicine… it’s pretty ridiculous that I’ve spent so many years talking food and weight that I’ve managed to mess my brain and motivation right up. I’m 20+ kg (45lbs) overweight and really just need to be part of something with likeminded people who know the drill. Anywho I don’t know how active I’ll be, but I hope you don’t mind me tagging along? I’m about 91kg (200lbs) currently.2
