Good morning to all~~
Sara - I don't know how you do it: baking cookies and them giving them all away! You are an angel 😇 for certain.
I miss exchanging gifts with family (now passed on), but lordy I do not miss the frazzlement the shopping caused.
And yes, I will have lots of steps in traveling today. I'm concerned about actually getting home. The weather map looks less than ideal 😜

Good evening,
Glad to make it through the week. It had been a crazy and long one. I have tomorrow off as I am getting my 2nd Shingles shot.
Lady at work adopted her before unknown niece a couple of years ago, and the niece is one of the people who I gift things. She is young elementary school age - she got the rest of the bright pink tree ornaments about 7 of them- as she loves pink.
Lana if I didnt gift the cookies, I would be wearing them. I love to bake but I hate to exercise that much. I hope you made it home safely.
Luckily for me, my other hobby does not involve food - buying yarn for at least 2 baby blankets online tonight.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

What's better than Friday?
Sara - how nice about the pink ornaments for the little girl!
Good for you for gifting the cookies and making baby blankets. 💞
It's time to hit the grocery stores.... and yes, I will buy myself a piece of cake for my birthday today. My mother would say that birthday cake has no calories at all 😋

Good evening,
Happy Birthday Lana!! It isnt the same without cake in some form, and I have gotten my own as well just to make sure I get some- no calories??? Wow I have to remember that for next year. I hope you are having a good Birthday. Its your choice for music at the Cabana Club and you get the Queen for a day Treatment - take advantage of it.
TGIF - got my second Shingles shot. We shall see how it gets me tomorrow. I slept this afternoon- it was warm and toasty and I usually take naps so I just enjoyed it. I took whole day off as I saw my shrink in the am. She is continuing on with the Medical Group so I do not have to search for another one. Yay!!
Went and bought yarn for new baby boy for good younger friend. It cost $50.00 I have the Walmart account so I dont pay for shipping. I got a good price for yarn. This young lady appreciates hand made things and so I got a color I know she likes and a bright blue. Waiting for it to get here is like watching water boil.
I offered to go and walk the parking lot this afternoon as I was early to a dr apt - that concept would not have happened before this year - so Go Girl points to me. It was dashed and I got in for shot in minutes. I sense people come in and chicken out about shots.....so the lady who does it does not let them wait long.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
Happy Saturday,
It is very early for me. Luckily I am not terribly ill from vaccine. I cant seem to go back to sleep.
If I wake up later and still feel okay, I am going walking. Since I have found the balance between my bad eating and exercise, my new goal is to walk more and tip the balance a little.
Hope you are doing well Lana.
Wishing all a good day. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
Good morning Sara~~
I am glad that the after-effects of the shingles shot are not too awful.
Good for you on the yarn and knitting projects.
I need to get going - it's so easy to just sit at my desk, drink coffee, and surf.....
Where did the sun go?

Good morning all~~
What a glorious day, weather wise. Yay.
I have rediscovered a long-forgotten treat: pitted dates! They caught my eye in Trader Joe's, so I bought some. They are almost as wonderful as cookies, but probably a bit healthier. They are yummy, but I don't feel the need to overeat them, as I do with cookies.
Tonight's dinner will be some pot roast, corn, and string beans. 😁

Good evening,
Made another batch of cookies - most are going in the freezer for a lunch/funeral for a lady at Church. A couple are going to coworkers - I misread the recipe ooops last time.
Got almost 5k today which for a Sunday is amazing.
Meatloaf, chicken nuggets with vegetables are this week's lunches.
Lana pitted dates are in moderation a decent source of potassium. Trader Joes is such a great place I am lucky one is not near me. Enjoy.

*** December 19th ***
Heavens to Betsy - it's Monday already!
None of my ladies wanted to walk this morning in the freezing cold. I may go this afternoon when it is comfortably above freezing.
Time to hard boil a bunch of eggs for the week. I need a break from scrambled eggs; I tend to embellish them more than necessary, which adds a lot of calories.....
Waves to all who pop by today~~

Hi Lana! *wave*
Happy Monday almost Tuesday!
It's cold here too, not my favorite weather.
I woke up this morning and must have eaten something my body didn't like yesterday because I felt like I got glutened. Been gf for 12 years. Finally felt better by the time we went for our weekly grocery shopping.
My family and I did exercise by running the stairs today, it was fun and a lot of work!1 -
Good evening,
Perception is interesting, what I thought late last night was a moving van- was a fire truck as there was a fire in the third floor kitchen. Luckily no people or pets were harmed.
Cold for CA, walls here are thin so we feel it.
Food is okay and scale is telling me. Salt from soup/lunch tomorrow, but that is a known factor.
Got 600 extra steps today which all adds up.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.0 -

Waves to GBH....
Sara - nothing scarier than seeing fire trucks.
Also, sad to hear that your walls are thin! Yikes!
It is colder here than normal, and I'm feeling it. I will definitely be having some (salty) soup today.
We'll be having dreariness and no sun for roughly 4 days. That's not good for my mental health. Bleh.

Good evening,
Pop Tarts for dinner. That is correct. Too cold/too tired so Pop Tarts it is.
Lana watch movies or TV that is in places sunny /summer etc. It helps a little.
I got angry at my computer - figured it out finally, but went around the house walking the anger off.
Yarn at doorstep can start first baby blanket it is the lighter color for which my eyes are grateful.

*** December 21 ***
Sara - yesterday I had cake and milk for lunch; I understand the Pop Tarts situation!
I have been trying to get used to the Apple weather on my phone - must do this because Apple is doing away with the excellent Dark Sky app. Well that Apple weather is forecasting gloom and doom for 4 days, and what do I wake up to but gloriously sunshine and blue skies. My mood this morning was great and there's a spring in my step....
I like your suggestion Sara about movies with sun and summer 👍🏻
Waves to all who stop by later on~~

267.0 today - I know why.....1 -
Good evening,
Will walk the rest of my 5k to keep warm. Came home and passed out. Can only drink so much coffee at work.
Boss lady on vacation until next Wednesday. What a wonderful Christmas present. Didnt have to buy me anything either!!!!
I am keeping a calendar of my steps this week and it started Monday -- 5600/5500/5500 with 5k being my official goal- hmmm. Walking in a large "circle" in your house adds up.

Hello all~~
Sara - that is indeed a great gift: boss out of office for a bunch of days!
You are doing well with getting in your steps!
I am just bobbing along, like a cork on the water.... procrastinating on getting some holiday shopping done for peeps who I always exchange gifts with in January! The fact is that I just never know what to get them, so I put it off and put it off and end up sending stupid little things that they'll open and never use. It's the thought that counts, though.
The weather is truly ugly this morning - the skies as dark as dusk, but it's 8:30AM! Gah.
Stay warm out there!

Good evening,
Passed out for 3 hours after work. It is Thursday. Our church has nativity outside starting tonight - slept right through it.
Half day tomorrow at work - company makes us take half day off for Christmas Eve - Catholic company. So I can come home and nap sooner. Works for me.
Someone I know posted what she pays for coffee. Hurt just to know it. I wouldnt buy it anyway but what a price hike. Makes me want to look for the things that are less expensive and make me happy.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.0 -

Good morning ☀️
Sara - good for you on the half-day today!
Here in NC it will be warm enough to run errands before the truly cold temps blow in.....
I plan to get a package of chicken thighs to cook and have for the next few days.
Oh no, as I'm typing this, I think my lights blinked on and off? High winds today. I fear losing power (heat), especially before such a cold dip.
Stay warm and safe out there~~

Good afternoon,
I am having dinner with my father/step mother on Saturday. A gentleman from work was going to come with me. Someone he knows passed away last night. Heavily edit my plans for tomorrow.
Lana stay as safe and as warm as you can the next couple of days.
I am going tonight to help with the nativity scene at church. Then deal with wet laundry and dirty dishes.
Oh the joys of keeping house.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.0 -
*** December 24 ***
Wow, there is something about having a person pass away at this time of year. It makes a hard thing harder somehow.
Sara - enjoy your time with father and step mother 🌸
I have no plans for today or tomorrow. Although I could use a few things from the store, it may be wiser to make do with what's in the house and avoid trying to find a parking spot at the stores. Yesterday I never got my chicken because of no parking spots.
Big hugs to all who stop by later on~~

Christmas Eve,
Long day, hair cut/color, nails, lunch with father/step mother and step brother's eldest daughter. Back to hair salon for coffee. Came home with bagels from hair salon and bagel it is for dinner.
So far 3800 steps will make up the 5k soon.
Even at my old age. I look up at the ceiling and wish magic for the children waiting for Santa to come and listen for reindeer hoofs.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -

Merry Christmas Missy!
I bet that it is wonderful for you to be able to keep warm with all of your floofy fur babies cuddled around you! Enjoy the Day!
Sara - Thank you for the wonderful vision of listening for the reindeer! Have a Merry Day~
Wyndyc2 - Happy Holidays!
Anyone can post on this ongoing thread. At the moment I don't think any of us are using WW.
We are just doing our best from day to day 😁

Good afternoon,
First Christmas I have spent in a Church in a very long time. Came home with cookies and mini muffins I will share with coworkers on Tuesday (those that could are in freezer).
Quiet day here. Movies are on tap.
Got my 5k yesterday so I have 2900 extra steps from last week. Tomorrow is grocery shopping and cooking/baking which gets steps in.
Today I will lay low. Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday everyone.0 -

Same here I don’t think I’ve gone to church on Christmas morning for as long as I can remember.

Good morning all~~
I've got to get out there and go grocery shopping. I avoided the stores before Xmas, so the cupboards are bare!
I feel motivated to get back on track with my food program (formerly called a diet). My first goal is to shop/eat less processed/boxed/canned/prepared stuff and aim for the lean protein and lots of fresh vegetables and some fresh fruits.
Everyone have a good Monday!

My goal too. I literally cleaned out my fridge, freezer and pantry…and it threw my back out last week but feels nice to get the expired junk out or donate what I won’t eat. Going through the clothes now.1 -
*** December 27 ***
Good morning all~~
Missy - you are like a whirlwind with all of the cleaning! I bet you figured to do it before your classes start.....when do classes begin?
Sara - I hope that you have a good day today. The boss is still out, yes?
Well, the sun is beaming brightly down here today. I need get ready to run some errands. Maybe I'll walk this afternoon; it will be warmer then.

Good evening,
Scale showed me a number I have not seen and it was not a happy one. Like Missy and Lana I am aiming after the holiday week to buckle down. I am keeping track of my steps and trying to get beyond my "low goal".
Boss comes back tomorrow. I brought all the goodies in for the temps today.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1
