Good evening,
100 degrees and almost 7pm -icky poo.
I am eating a small bowl of small frozen fruit pieces made by Wymans. It is just the thing to have for a hot day and if I have not had enough fruit/veg. It is a little pricey but every so often might help me get better food.
Little bird said it was Friday tomorrow. I know I would Saturday morning, but as no one is there it is still Friday. I will be looking for new things to try (food wise) at the International Market.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.0 -

Good morning all~~
Wow, there's only 10 more days in July? This month has flown!
Black beans are top-notch for protein, as are lentils. 👍🏻
Sara - the plan at work sounds good! I keep Wyman's blueberries in my freezer. My cousin John told me that they are different from the blueberries in the fresh fruit department--he married into the Wyman family, so he knows blueberries I guess. 😜
Waves to Lisa and Maureen~~

Good evening,
I have sweated enough in this month so I am glad it is moving on.....
Wyman's eh? Need to keep that cousin of yours and his family 'in the money'. I am having today's serving with cottage cheese.
103 and the day is not done. worse tomorrow. I am having groceries delivered tomorrow. Part of me protests as I like to shop and I think getting it delivered is lazy. It is hot, I am old and I already paid for a year of service. Put my protests in the closet for this weekend.
Got 6k most of the days this week. Sleeping is so much easier.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe, sane, and cool out there.

Good morning everybody 🌺
Sara - that is very wise of you to have your groceries delivered in this heat. Kudos to you for getting steps in also!
Well Lazy Lana ate pizza yesterday, and the salt has come home to roost. If I am mindful today, that water retention should work out. I'll see what healthy things are at the farmers market~
Waves to all who stop by later on 👋🏻

Good morning,
Eating a single size pizza so you are not alone.
Learning what ingredients I should not see in my food to be anti inflammatory, that means more money, so I worked today.

Ah - it's Sunday! Best day of the week ☀️
Sundays are the one day of the week when I truly feel it's OK to relax.
I hope that everyone can enjoy their day today~~

Good afternoon,
Lunch is kale salad mix with two hard boiled eggs chopped into it. Dinner - dont know.
Making crocheted belts from the same pattern I made friendship bracelets and necklaces. Easier work in hot weather and a bit of color on some dull Summer clothes.

Oy! It's Monday, and this will be a busy week. Today is eye doctor for new prescriptions. I need computer glasses.
Sara - Your kale salad mix sounds good. I got away from buying kale for no good reason--I love it! Thank you for the nudge!

Hi all!
I was camping over the weekend so I didn’t have reception. We went up north where it was a good 30° cooler and it was wonderful. Drove our camper up with some friends was really nice to escape the heat.
Definitely not ready for Monday or the rest of this week lol. I’m sticking to my plan, but I have zero motivation to do anything. I will still hop on the elliptical for a bit. So tired today!
Hope everyone has a great day!

Good afternoon,
Went and got meds at pharmacy (they call me 90 minutes after they closed last night (recording) to tell me I can pick up my meds. Luckily I stopped short of the car and went back inside to check if they were open. Smart girl.
Got 6k so week total is 12k. Forecast is for 90's all week which will be easier to keep the steps on track.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

Hello all
It's 5 months until Christmas! 🤣
I like to tell myself that when it is beastly hot outside.
Today is a short trip up to NYC to take care of some business, returning on Thursday. The City is awful in the summer.
Lisa - how nice to have some time away from the heat!
Sara - glad that you will have better temps - still, continue to take good care of yourself 🤗
Time to get going ✈️

Hello snd happy Tuesday!
This morning I got up and did 15 min on the elliptical and then hopped in the shower before starting my work day. I need to do 30min but I’m working up to it. Tomorrow I will shoot for 20 min.
I don’t have much to update today other than my weight has unchanged for the last couple of days and it’s a bit of a bummer.
Lana, have a safe trip to NYC.
Sara, keep up the good work getting in your 6k!
Hope everyone has a great day.

Good evening,
Lower temps for awhile make it easier. Got 6500 steps. I got up early without the alarm and went to work early. If I can walk in laps inside the building (I might be tempted to go home walking outside hahahaha) and get steps in so all I have to do is walk home, that is my plan.
Greek yogurt and granola for dinner.
Lana good luck with your travel and NYC visit. Think of all those airport steps you get in.
Lisa I have been at the same "decade" of poundage for too long, so I am pushing the steps up. To be the same for awhile is allowing your body to rest. Not a bad thing.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

Hi all.
Got on the elliptical again this morning. Ran 16 min. Had cottage cheese and veggies for lunch. Will probably have a protein bar or shake too.
I bought the sugar free fudge cicles for dessert as I crave sweets after dinner.
Hope everyone has a great evening
Lisa 🌵2 -
Good evening,
Lana hope things are going okay in NYC and you got a lot of airport steps.
I got more than 6k today. I get extra steps in when I can even if it is only for 2 minutes. I is more than I used to get.
I had purchased claw fasteners for another project but will use them for the belts I just crocheted. I have a blister on one of my fingers from making so many, not sure if that will stop me.

Good evening,
Its Thursday - almost Friday.
Got my 6k. Cottage cheese and frozen fruit have been my go to in the heat for dinner - dont worry a baked potato for lunch with shredded chicken and cheese will stop those from worrying about me eating too few of calories.
Sleep much better with more steps, so this just needs to continue.

Good morning all 🌼
It is so good to be home. NYC is no place for old ladies, especially in the sweltering heat. I was so fortunate to have both the up and down trips go completely on schedule--nice and slick. Yes, I clocked a lot of miles, but still managed to pack on a few pounds.
Back to the drawing board.... I will never give up!
Sara - hope that your Friday flies by and you get into your restful weekend soon.
Waves to Lisa and Maureen and anyone else who stops by this after noon for the ⛱️ Friday Cabana Club Happy Hour 🌴

Good evening,
TGIF with all the drinks with umbrellas and salt rims. Lana glad you got there and made it home. It is not as fun as it used to be dealing with airports and everyone in such a hurry, but it is nice to go somewhere.
Got 7k today, body is letting me know. Not sure how I got it but there it is.
Company has been losing too many people (they are cheap), so they gave all of us a 50 cent an hour raise. I said to my boss "how many drops of gasoline is that?" but I thanked her anyways.
Got myself back up on Linked in and remade some old connections. I have a feeling that it is who I know this time that will help me get a new job as I cannot compete well against the young whiz kids. They and I both have qualities are good and bad, but I think I need a 'connection' to help sell my case. We shall see.
Toes done tomorrow. That is always wonderful.

Good morning everybody ☀️
Sara - you are right about connections - glad that you are turning in that direction for your next job.
50 cents an hour is what percentage of your hourly rate... It's an insult really. Time to get out of there.
Kudos to you for clocking so many steps!
Enjoy your pedicure treat 🌺
Time for me to get going 🛺🏃🏼♀️🛶 Ha!

Good evening,
Light pink pastel toe nail polish today. I usually get darker but summer loans itself to lighter colors.
Not a lot of walking today. I will try and make up for it tomorrow.
Trying to steer a better course food wise. We shall see.

Good morning 🌼
Sara - oh, your pretty pastel nail polish sounds lovely~ You are right about this being a good color for the season 💝 (no pastel pink hearts)
Today I am going to have myself a very lazy day. Just is.

Good afternoon.
Picked up a 93 year old lady to go to church. Her normal ride couldnt make it. I tell you these ladies at church over 90 put a lot of us to shame. I hit a speed bump not seeing it and I asked if she was okay, then I asked if it was fun. She had to get back to her dh and had ordered lunch (she is in a senior living place) and so we both missed the potluck. All those wonderful calories had to stay behind.
I might get steps in, and then I might not. Reading is on my to do list as I got laundry done.

Say goodbye to July 🌺
Sara - that is cute about the 93 year old and the speed bump!
My sister is coming to visit me a week from tomorrow; my goal is to have everything ready by end of day this Friday. What a Do List!!
Stay cool everyone 🤗

Good evening,
That wave of relief is from those like me who are looking forward to the weekend.
I get my hair colored tomorrow morning, so what did I do when I got home from work? washed my hair. I am so out of it.
I dont know who is giving dragon grief but it is interesting to watch.
Lana!! your sister is visiting - yay. That is always fun times for you. Get out walk a lot. Eat fun stuff.

Good evening,
Update, it is not Friday. How that got into my head is probably wishful thinking.
So it is Monday/almost Tuesday. Repeat 3 times. only kidding.
Have a good night.

Good morning all~~
Sara - I know how it is to get the days confused. So sorry that there are a few more days this week.
Still, it's nice to look forward to having your hair done!
Interesting that someone else is irking The Dragon 🐲 !
I didn't feel right yesterday, so I didn't get any exercise. Today will be better.....

Hi All!
Where is this summer going? Can’t believe it’s August already. Work and class have been keeping me very busy. How has everyone been?2 -
Good evening,
Second day in a row I got almost 7k. Not sure how long I can keep this up, but I will try.
Had Pastrami sandwich for lunch. Told myself the pickle was a vegetable (at one point it was - now its just pickled).
Will order food to have delivered after work tomorrow.
August? Just shaking my head. Missy glad you are keeping yourself busy and on the right track.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
*** August 2 ***
Here we are at the middle of the week~
Missy ‼️ So glad that you stopped by! Yes, regular job and working towards your degree takes up all of your time. Hey - how are your mother and grandmother doing? and the puppers?
Sara - Look at you and your steps! That is awesome 🏆
I love pickles 😋
Yesterday I went bonkers and bought troublesome things at the store. Today I'll portion that stuff off and put into the freezer.
Waving to all who stop by today 👋🏻🧡
