    Good evening,

    Lana - your ## is coming down - good for you. Mine was going down and then too much salt ( and Junk food) got in the way. Hey a plumber in the house ...... hope it goes well.

    Sleep is under appreciated. Hope to get some quality sleep before Sun/Mon when the temps are stupid hot again.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Boy am I foggy this morning. Lots to do today--order new computer. This one is over 8 years old and is sometimes acting funky. Then maybe Chinese food for lunch afterwards.

    Unfortunately, the scale numbers were looking good because of being sick and dehydrated. Boo hoo. Still not feeling normal....

    Sara - enjoy your sleeping this weekend!!!

    Good afternoon,

    Hair color/cut and then toes done (med purple color). Cleaned up the recycling disaster in kitchen. Will take a couple trips to garbage and car - later when it is not as hot??? Not sure I can get away from it, but to be honest a nap looms.

    Got the makings for a couple of good salads so there will be some healthy food in my path.

    Wishing all a good day. Stay healthy and sane out there.

    Good morning all~~

    I woke up to dark skies and rain, which continues most of the day today. Time to tackle indoor Do List.

    At-home tests are still showing covid positive. That's discouraging because it is keeping me from badly-needed socializing with other humans.

    Happy Sunday all! Last day of my staycation and it has been a productive week. Got a good dent in my to do list done. Still have plenty left to do. WW had a sale for $10 bucks a month for 6 months for workshop and digital so I signed up. Went to the meeting yesterday with my favorite leader when I went last. Already been tracking and learning the new personal points system and this week I just tracked. Next week I’ll be making sure I attempted to stay within points.
    Had phone interview with admissions officer this week that went well. Should be applying for the program this week for fall semester. :-)
    Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

    Good morning all~~

    Missy - I am excited for you that you rejoined Weight Watchers. That is a great price, and price is biggest reason that I didn't continue with them, back in the day. The second reason was their dropping the community message boards!!!!
    Sending good vibes for your program application this week. Please stop by and let us know how it's going 🍀

    OK, I've got to get going. Everyone have a decent Monday.

    Good evening,

    6pm and still 103 - computer systems at work not work and websites - dont get me started .... crazy Monday.

    Like Lana I liked WW and the accountability. Finding a meeting and their $$ made it tough to continue. Missy let us know how we can cheer you on or keep you on task.

    Greek yogurt with frozen blueberries and yes chocolate chips for dinner. Too hot to even think of food.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Happy Tuesday All~~

    Sara - the Greek yogurt and blueberries and chocolate chips sounds good! Good for the high heat, for sure.

    There must be a bumper crop of mosquitoes in my neighborhood after all of the rain we've had--they were coming after me in full sun! I really wanted to sit outside for a few minutes to get a little natural vitamin D going. Not today! Run away!

    I feel a nap coming on already.....

    Hi, all. I should have stuck with this when I restarted last time--March? But, I am realistic--major illness in my family and I have been sick twice, once with Covid! I'm up about 10 lbs but ready to log and plan and get back to walking more (the jogging is still happening, just so slow and not very far). I have my new pup and my dear Skye and right now my kids are here--have been for nearly 2 weeks, due to us having Covid together.

    I hope everyone is well and I look forward to getting reacquainted with everyone.

    I love having my kids here but I tend not to be as healthy bc they all love their junk food, and don't have the weight issues I have for the most part. I will have to find a way to live healthy with them, though, b/c at least one is planning to move in with me (Yay!!!)

    Good evening,

    Got one of the skinny taste cookbooks in the Prime day sale (almost half off). That was my gesture to my healthy eating. Kettle chips not so much.

    Temps in 90's and aiming for 100 again by weekend -what fun!!!

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Good morning. Day 1 of re-start is in the books. Sara, I feel for ya. We have incredible humidity here in Charlotte--not quite as hot but not a lot of fun either. Today is a jogging day and I will be dripping wet before I finish one-third of my jog. Do you also have humidity there?

    Have a good day, all.

    Wednesday July 13th~~

    Sara - you have the same kettle chips as I do in the kitchen? Ha, ha - I love them!

    Maureen - good to see you again! Sorry to hear about the family illness. Glad that you are jogging. Did you tell us about the new pup? I can't remember, so would you post a photo of puppet and Skye?
    Good luck with offspring moving in!

    I too decided on a fresh start today. Just gotta keep at it......

    Good evening,

    Todays shopping involved dvd,k cups, k cup filters,aromatherapy.

    Told not to make friends at work as they are out to get my job. I dont want to be a cold negative nelly but okay something to think about.

    Ate out with coworker - boss saw me and I said I was meeting someone - lets see if rumors start.

    Good Morning all! I’ve tracked in WW and I definitely need to adjust my diet. My coffees are 6 pts each and I have 2 a day. Definitely need to eat more veggies and fruit. I will get this lol

    Good morning ☀️

    Good grief Sara - you have more drama at work than I ever did in the theatre. Someone at work is actually giving you their opinion on how to relate to your co-workers? Yikes.

    Yesterday I managed to get in over three miles of walking and 15 minutes in the pool before the thunderstorm came.
    Onward!

    Good evening,

    Passed out after work as is usual for Thursday, but tonight was longer than usual so I may be up in the middle of the night.

    Lana - great workout. I bet you slept well.

    Missy - can your coffee's be altered to be fewer points? Smaller sizes or have one of those black - ducking under desk from flying objects-- just a thought and glad you are applying WW points to things. It is a real shock sometimes.

    Heat this weekend. Monster will come out of her hole if doughnuts are delivered tomorrow. Not by me, it has become a Friday tradition to keep the natives motivated (coworker brings them). I bought k cups and refillable k cups online and will get them next week ish.

    Making lunches is a 'no go' in my brain so I am eating sandwiches and salads at work. $$$ but that's what I get for being lazy. Have to pacify the screaming 2 year old in my head.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    I’ve been told the same at my job. Seems to be everywhere. Oh boy the rumors.

    Haha 😂 yeah i would like to work my way to just coffee in my coffee instead of coffee with sugar and half and half. It is a shock!

    Lana, good job. You will motivate me to get out more.

    Sara, I agree with Lana--your work environment seems outrageously hostile. I don't know how you take it. Missy, sorry you've experienced the same.

    I am starting another new job this year--one year at a middle school under the belt, and now back to high school. My decision to change schools so I could keep teaching history. The middle school needed me to go back to special ed and I'm not ready for that. I really missed teaching history.

    I've been in Charlotte for a full year now and am so glad I made the move.

    Lana, I'll repost my first pic of the pup and then a newer one (or two, haha). He's been here since April 1 and I'm so happy with the excellent "fit" he is into my household. Skye is over the moon to have a brother. It has been so. much. work. But, that's what I took on--and it's not like I have anything else to do if I'm not teaching :0.

    Have a great day, folks

    Happy Friday

    Turn on some good music and dance!!

    I am thinking Lana is in route somewhere and will post this weekend.

    Hotish but will be hotter -plans to be inside and watch dvds sounds really good. Need to get those steps in though.

    Passed out 3 hours - usually do Thurs/Fri anyway - but I also tried a new sleep balm all Lavender and will use it again, not overly strong (some smell like soap).

    Got some of my yarn in mail so new projects are lurking.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    p.s. one more thing as I was walking home from work I saw a yellow Monarch Butterfly. I know there is one in the area I live so it could be the same one. I dont know, but it was nice to watch a pretty butterfly than waste my time scowling about the heat.

    Had my WW meeting this morning down 0.2. Yay! Oil change was done and took my grandma out food shopping. I got all the veggies and stayed away from the cookies. Grandma got her sweets which she is like why not at almost 90. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Missy - Congrats on your good weigh in, and even more congrats on avoiding the cookies. Yes, grandma can have whatever she wants!!

    I was surfing for cruises for September, and I stumbled upon a New England/Canada cruise out of Bayonne NJ with a price for an interior so cheap it is irresistible. Hmm.....

    Time to jump into the shower.....
