Happy Friday!
Cleaning out the workout room so I can maybe crawl out of bed and get on treadmill. It was turning into a “walk in closet” lol. Made it to Aqua once this week! The icy snow is still here. Dogs are happy!2 -
FRIDAY January 19th
Good morning Missy!
That is funny about the "walk in closet"!
Sara - glad to hear you are opting for your personal time over the weekend. Giving up just one day to do overtime actually affects two whole weeks of your life. The first week is too long, and the second week feels awful because you did not get enough of a weekend break.
Yesterday I got more fresh veggies in the house. Today I need to get some chicken and fish (I get from different store).
Waves to all who stop by today 👋🏻

Good morning everybody~~
I need to lift up my attitude today--feeling a tad depressed. The cold forecast has me down. Maybe a nice hot shower and this coffee will help.....I am grateful for the blue skies and sun though, so that's a start!
What's everyone doing this weekend? I should do some cooking & portion freezing.

It is cold but saw these cute rabbit prints in the snow. And my bichon prints as well!

Brrrr.....
Missy - bunny prints!!
This morning it was cold enough in my kitchen that I turned the oven on ahead of time, then shut it off and opened the door wide right before I made my scrambled eggs.
Dinner today will be hot soup for sure!
Time to get back into bed and watch more Netflix.

Good evening,
Thank you for reminding me to eat dinner. Whacky day and list almost done, but that doesnt mean I should forget dinner. I made more breakfast burritoes. So the one that didnt roll well is dinner.
New battery for scale. Have all my meds in house and I got a low dose of Potassium supplement as I dont always have bananas and broccoli in the house.
Missy - love the dog/bunny prints.
Tomorrow is Monday and so I am laying low for the rest of the day.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

Good morning all~~
Sara - Black beans, lentils, orange juice, low-sodium tomato juice, and sweet potatoes all pack a lot of sodium per serving. Also milk has a lot of potassium, if you drink milk.
I had creepy strange dreams last night, which has me in a funky mood today.

Good evening,
Lana - I had the family dreams last night. Never good. Dont like your list of high sodium items but luckily, I only eat 2 of them.
Next 2 days eating from cafe - so sodium is probably out the door. Means I need to get my step # up again.
Time for me to find a warm blanket and call it a night. It is early but sometimes just nice to be bundled up.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

Good morning!
Sara - OMG did I make a huge mistake when I wrote yesterday. What is wrong with me!!!?
I meant to write....
"Black beans, lentils, orange juice, low-sodium tomato juice, and sweet potatoes all pack a lot of POTASSIUM per serving."
Sheesh - I make more and more mistakes every day. The good news is that all of those things are actually low sodium.
So sorry my dear lady!
XO

Good Afternoon,
Lana do not flog yourself. I did not run off into my closet and hide.
Rain and dreary for the rest of the week. Best reason I know to drink hot chocolate.....
Steps are a little low since pedicure tweaked my toe,but at least I get my minimum.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe/dry and sane out there.1 -
*** January 25 ***
Lots of running around the first half of the day. Clocking them steps!
Very dark skies and gloom and fog today. Hoping tomorrow will be a tad better?
Sara - Ouch about that pedicure!! Aw! 🤗
Holy cow, emphasis on the "cow", the two pairs of snow pants I ordered actually fit me!!!!! I am SO relieved.
Chicken and vegetables for dinner - Yay!

Good morning everyone ~
As I drove through the UNC campus yesterday, I saw that the big cherry tree was blooming! We've had two days of very high temps, and Mother Nature here thinks that it is Spring! The cardinals are singing their long songs. More cold temps are coming though.
I need to walk today.

Lana, you rock. You are so consistent.
I'm back -- again. And I really, REALLY need to stick around this time b/c I have regained 30 of the 65 lbs I lost before I moved to NC. Ugh.
So, back to logging. I hate it, but I know once I get in the habit, I won't hate it as much
Anyway, I have my 2 pups, and house, Cole (26) is living with me, Quentin is still in WI, and my Raleigh is in Memphis--and she's a mom! My perfect grandson was born on 12.23.23. His name is Markell. All the more reason for me to take better care of myself!

The last couple of mornings I’ve been listening to the birds as well! Like is it January or April? Snow is predicted for Monday tho.

Welcome back! I’m the same way. Here for a bit life gets hectic and poof like where did the months/years go?
Cute pic!

Missy, are you GemWolf? And are you in TN? I forget. I remember you here, though.0

Good evening,
A challenge from someone at work gave me the motivation to walk 5k today. Body parts protesting.
Good so see Missy and Mkculs stop by - babies are fabulous reason for getting healthier.
We will have unusual high temps Monday but that goes away with yet more rain.
Went to Asian store and only bought fruit and vegetables. Need to start using the pasta in the pantry (also maxed out on of my credit cards so need to think before I buy for a while....). With any luck that means healthier meals.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -

Happy Sunday everyone~~
Sara - so good to hear that you are getting your walking in!
Maureen! Glad you are back! Your grandson is adorable.
Missy! Yes, these signs of spring are a tease - but it is still January, so the snow will still come, up north. Dang!
I must walk today. I must walk today. I must walk today........

Good morning, all. I've been up since about 4 am--my usual waking time now. I love it, b/c I get to have time to myself before work. I'm going to start getting in a bit of a walk with Skye before work--it'll be dark, and it won't be much, but my goal is 5 mi/day and when I start early, I'm so much more likely to get it done. I get in about 2 mi/day at work/school, so that helps too. But I sure love my time outside whenever it happens.
We have had SUCH a deluge here in Charlotte. The past 6 weeks or so, and esp this month. They canceled school 1 day less than a week after winter break ended b/c of the forecast for bad storms and potential tornados. A number of local roads were damaged by flash floods. Given how much rain we've had, I would not be surprised if there were mudslides and/or more road damage. I hope it's over now.
I hope everyone has a lovely day, and thanks for the kind comments on my sweet grandbaby.2 -
*** January 29 ***
Good morning all~~
Well, the sun has decided to come out today - I am grateful.
Maureen, I didn't realize that Charlotte had gotten so much rain. I don't have TV, so I don't get those "big picture" weatherman forecasts. Hang in there with that.
I've got to get in the shower. The HVAC people are coming this morning to start the new installation.
Waves to all who stop by later on 👋🏻🌴

Good evening,
2/14 fundraiser is going along well, I have 6 ladies and myself to donate baked goods including 2 gift cards for home made cheese cakes. I have 30 hearts and 15 angels.
I also need to benefit from a good hot shower, then see if I can do crocheting and then lights out.
Nice that the boss took a long weekend. I hope she had a good time.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -

Hey there everybody~~
I am celebrating right now--having a new working heating/cooling system in the ol' house. Whew.
They were here this morning and finished it up.
Sara - hot showers are such a treat really. Your Valentine's charity work is wonderful--very generous of you and it brings wonderful returns for your spirit 🩷 🤗
My area is blessed with a full day of sunshine - after the gray we've had, I am so grateful for this up-lift!
Waves to all who stop by to say hello~~

Hi, do y’all have room for one more person in this group? This is my third time trying ,I was doing really well for about a year. I lost a little over 37 lbs then got under some stress and fell back into poor eating habits.3

Good evening,
Rain rain rain, just is. Got 5k and my stairs. I am going to see how many times I can get a flight of stairs in (up a flight of stairs).
Will work some OT this weekend. Need to pay a little more to my credit cards.
Lana - new heating/ac is a wonderful thing - so is the sunshine. Enjoy both.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -

Good morning everybody 🌷
I couldn't sleep, so I got up and made the coffee. Doing laundry, paying bills.....
I saw my primary care doc yesterday, and my blood pressure is good!
Sara - good for you on the 5K and stairs ✅

I am up and off the ground once again. 20 days straight and some pretty cool things are already happening. I'll get up off the ground as many times as it takes.
I started about 5 years ago and lost about 130 lbs. That was 480 down to 350. I should have kept going, but there is no sense in talking about the "Been Brothers"....woulda been, coulda been, and shoulda been.
I have learned something. I have had some successes and some failures....but as long as I draw breath, neither is final.3 -
Good evening,
6k and a flight of stairs.
Almost Friday and that is wonderful
Caffeinebuzz - so long as you dont stop trying that is what counts.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
*** February 2 ***
Yay for Friday!!
Caffeinebuzz - just keep going in the right direction! Stop by often and let us know how you are doing!
Sara - you did really well yesterday! Atta girl 👍🏻💖
Time for a nice hot shower for me.....
