Happy Friday!!
Tomorrow up early to go shopping and beat the crowds. Winter shoes are on the list.
Will make a casserole but need to consult recipes as it has been so long.
I will be snoring soon.

Good morning all and Happy Saturday ☀️
Sara - wishing you a good shopping session!
I'm still having my coffee, but you've got me thinking about looking up some casserole recipes 😋

Good evening,
Got my 5k in today. Not usual for a Saturday.
Perogi (cheese filled only) on top of hamburger/onion/carrot-peas in white sauce I made to slay the sodium grams is in the oven.
Lana there are some good casserole recipes online, just check the servings and if the recipe can be altered online to lesser servings.
Ding dongs for dessert so the halo fell off.

Today is going to be a good day--nice breakfast and then some slow-but-steady yard work for the activity of the day.
Sara - I don't mind if the recipes serve 6 or 8 if I can portion the leftovers into freezer containers. It's nice to have single servings in the freezer with a lot less sodium than store-bought frozen meals.
Waves to Missy and all who stop by later on~~

Good evening,
Good job on scale Lana!!! My woohoo is that I walked 5k both weekends.
It is easier to walk now that temps are below 90. Sigh of relief Fall is coming.
I will have to search for good for freezing casseroles..... I need more variety in my freezer.

I managed to do 45 minutes of "dripping sweat" yard work this morning. Ugh.
Sara - I too am glad that the beastly temps are gone for a while.
Time to rest for a few minutes..... 🏖 *flopping onto lounge chair next to Sara's* 🌴

Good evening,
Lana good job on doing yard work and burning those calories. Sweat is supposed to be good for you. I am still not convinced.
I walked 7500 steps today and my backside hurts. Good news or bad news - dont know.
Morning amusement - bad news oatmeal bowl slipped and in trying to save it- it flipped into the air and burned my lower leg. That was the good news.
I figured it was my Monday wake up call.

Well....better late than never.
Long day today.
Allergies were killing me - unusual. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Good evening,
Lana were you house cleaning or working in yard recently? Hope you feel better.
Extra walking helps me sleep but oh yes the body parts let me know about it.

Happy Wednesday all~~
Sara - I missed that post of yours about the oatmeal leg burn. Wow, that is awful. So sad to hear that that happened to you. Very scary.
How is your leg feeling today?
Congrats on the extra walking you got in, even if the body is letting you know. 🤗
Well, a week from today my bestie will be arriving for an 8-day stay. I still have time to get things done. I'm not very productive; it takes me a week to do what used to take me only two days. Just is.
Time to get some paperwork done.....

Good evening,
Another 6k day. Butt hurts less.
Lana -that's okay. Glad you are getting ready for your friend visit early.
Boss has been blasting me about an ongoing bad habit of mine with the phone line, she doesnt know the manager wants to get me off the phones completely. So that would stop that "venom outlet" for my boss.
Will do some online search for casseroles again.

Good morning all~~
I've got two appointments this morning on a day I would so much rather stay home and clean while I have energy (in the morning). Never thought I would say "I'd rather stay home and clean".
*snort*
Sara - do the Cabana Boys have an elixir that would make your bad habit vanish?

Good evening,
Sorry Lana - yesterday was bomb dropping wake up call and not a good day to post. Lets just say I am looking into working as a companion for elderly people instead of my current job.
I have one more gift card I will be earning from Amazon and I decided the theme was "care package for me" so now I get to figure out what to put in it. Any ideas are welcome.
Wow staying home and clean? Rarely do I have those days - I hope the appointment went well. So how did you reward youself?
TGIF. We earned it. Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -

Good morning All~~
The sun is out again in NC, and I am happy to see some blue skies.
Sara - sorry to hear that bad things are going on, but maybe now is a time for a change for you. Your workplace has been a source of dread for a very long time. So yes, investigate a different line of work! 🤗
Today is the grocery shopping and cleaning that did not get done yesterday. That will clock some miles and give some exercise!

I'm getting ready to go walk the Pumpkin Loop with the ladies this morning....what's the temperature? 51 degrees and sunny.... yay!

Good evening,
Thank you for starting us Lana - hope you had a great time with the Pumpkin Loop.
Laundry on, then writing cards to ladies who are not feeling well.

Good morning everyone~~
Sara - your mention of writing cards makes me realize that it is 2 months until Xmas. I have not sent holiday cards in decades, but I want to do it this year. I'm feeling isolated from my long-time peeps, and it's a good way to nurture connections.
Good on you for your sending greetings to folks who aren't doing well at the moment. 🥰
The plumber is coming this morning to hopefully fix the toilet in guest room for guest who arrives tomorrow!

scale is at a scary number again today.....0 -
Good evening,
Lana- good luck getting the toilet fixed.
Scale is not my friend but I keep trying to make friends with it.
Was able to get the last gift card from the health program through work, it is taxable income (what isnt anymore?) but I will enjoy buying things for myself for Christmas.
New job duties does not involve phone, so I can wear my headphones and listen to music. Also dont have to hear boss anymore- but I can hear her coming out of the office to check on us - are we
behaving?? I have increased production and it is going faster than before....
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
*** October 26 ***
Hey Sara - that's good to hear about your new job duties with no phones! Heck with Dragon Lady.
I did some shopping and got stuff done. I've managed 2 miles. Not awful.

Good morning all ☀️
It's not easy trying to wake up when it is dark outside.
My bestie is coming today for a visit. She was originally booked to fly in yesterday, but United somehow canned her flight and put her on a flight today. More than ever, one must constantly check a booked itinerary to see if it has been changed! American has changed my January '23 trip several times now. Jeez.
Why do I hate taking a shower, now that I'm old? It is a chore it seems.
Grumpy Lana

Good evening,
I agree on both things - showers used to be less of a chore / airlines are not predictable. I am glad your bestie is coming to visit you
Setting up grocery list for next week meals. At least some of them. Otherwise sleep reigns here, but it is
"hit the brick wall" Thursday.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

Wow, I'm getting here rather late. Busy day started with a great walk in the woods. She is enjoying seeing all of the colorful trees. The shoe shopping was unsuccessful - her old feet are hard to fit for walking shoes! Oy!
Sara - I hope that your Friday at work flies by, and you are soon on your way to a relaxing weekend.

Good evening,
Happy Friday !!! Love having earphones on again. I get to tune everyone out (though I dont like the music up too loud).
Lana -glad you having fun with Fall and you at least tried to find shoes.

Good afternoon from the UK. I have been a long time lurker and have finally plucked up the courage to write something. I have read this thread right from the start.
I have a 2629 day streak on MFP and have lost 81 pounds so far (although I have lost quite a few of those over and over again!)
