Serial Starters

Happy Friday,
Cdahl -welcome back, your plan sounds decent so stop by and let us know how its going.
Sandy, I used to keep track of people's feet in making slippers on the pattern and it worked until I lost the pattern (pre computers). Your son is lucky to have someone who makes them.
I am crocheting cat pouches #5 and more cats than not like them. I am making them for fundraising for church and something to do - cant crochet and eat for example.
I work OT tomorrow morning, need the $$ after my "expansive" spending holiday season.
I am well out of the way of the fires. We have 2 coworkers who work remotely and it is a daily check in with them. One had to evacuate on a former fire.
Tomorrow I am going to try and enchilada recipe with sweet potato and black beans. Freezes and for me that is key.
Lana - Cabana club tonight and you can pick the music and the food.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.0 -
Howdy Everyone!
@cdahl383 , HI! Nice to see another SS (serial starter). Best of luck with your plan...sounds like a good one !
I did get a walk in....at the grocery store. Not only got salad fixings but stuff to make chili. Made a double batch yesterday and have lots over for the coming week's meals.
It's been a bit noisy downstairs so today I went down to check out the apartment beneath me. What a difference! New carpet, new paint, kitchen floor looks new, too. Looks like the only room that needs cleaning is the bathroom. I almost wish I could move down there, but being upstairs has too many advantages. As long as I can navigate the stairs, I am staying put.
To all who come by, have a great Saturday!

I'm up way too early. Some nights I wake up after 5 hours, and I cannot get back to sleep. Gah!
I hope that the ice on my driveway melts enough to safely walk to the car, drive out, and then get back up the driveway.

Good Sunday to all!
Lana, I hope your ice melted too...that's nothing to mess with. Our temps are going up to 41⁰ today so what snow/ice there is here will be gone.
I am finally working on finishing the afghan I started crocheting last summer. I was going to give it to my granddaughter but it looks so nice on my sofa that I have decided to keep it and make her a different one. In all the years I have been crocheting, I have never made myself an afghan. I think I deserve it.
GO EAGLES!!

I am back after not having logged on in over a year. Snacking at work, working out less, over indulging during the holidays have added 14 pounds to my little frame.
Today marks one week of eating mindfully, walking, hitting the gym, drinking less. At this rate I should lose a half a pound a week. Glad to be back!3 -
@mgalsf12 welcome back.
My front steps and the first part of the walkway are icy still, but I can go in and out through the garage. Yesterday I had a narrow path down the front lawn to the road, but today my driveway is ice free.
I’m enjoying a quiet Sunday. Had a good massage this am and schedule a few more before my surgery. Then none for a while bc of my tendency towards blood clots. Booooo!
Hoping y’all have a great day.
TTFN,

Good Morrow!
@mgalsf12 , welcome back!
Lana....full moon? Uh oh...😉
Maureen, oh, to have a garage. I do miss that.
Made meatballs yesterday. My daughter called me just as I had started, so I put in my ear buds and talked to her while I made them. Was nice to have the company and it made the process go much faster. Now I have enough meatballs and sauce for a half dozen meals or more.
Eagles WON!!
Hope your Monday is a pleasant one!

Hi all.
I had no garage for 28 of my 35 years in WI. What a pain.

I have a cold coming on and my daughter and grandson come in a couple days. Hoping not to make them ill.
Hope y’all are doing well.

Good Afternoon, all!
I finished my afghan last night...
I am pretty happy with how it turned out. Now I will work on the grandgirls and grandboy's hats. My daughter wants me to make her an afghan so I sent her some photos I found on line to give her some ideas.
I just made some more Jello Fluff....that will be a nice low cal/carb snack for several nights.
Hope everyone's day has gone well...have a good evening!

Yesterday I bought a small amount of several vegetables and also some chicken. Today I will steam or cook all of that, put it in containers in the fridge, and then just reheat what I want each day. Less mess, and easier.
Wishing everyone a good and safe day~

Good Day, all!
Lana, thank you! I am glad I got my crochet mojo back. I have always enjoyed doing it.
They are still working on the apartment downstairs....I can hear the banging and the drills. They should be finished today, though....I think all they needed to do was install the miniblinds and clean the bathroom. And having the heat on down there has helped with the heat in my own apartment.
I am not used to the cold to this extreme....need a break.
Everyone, take care out there...

Hi, I have been a member of MFP for several years and have lost about 50 pounds since joining. I have been at a standstill and yo-yoing for several months now and can't seem to get out of the rut I'm in. I need to lose another 30-40 lbs. I bookmarked this group a long time ago because I am a serial starter for sure! Apparently just bookmarking the group doesn't work, I actually need to participate! LOL! I am 73, have a couple of health issues, we recently downsized ( a big adjustment which we're still getting used to) I keep mentally busy by sewing, weaving, knitting and crocheting. I would like to be more physically active but won't venture far in the winter. I hope by finally participating in this group I can find my way back to getting on tract with my weight loss, better eating habits and more activity.

@cathyb60, welcome.
Sandy and Lana, you are so busy! I get home from work and do nothing. No exercise. It’s like I’ve given up until after the 2nd surgery.
Still logging although the last few days I’ve gone some over maintenance. I need to do better.
My cold is very mild, thankfully.
TTFN,
Maureen

Good Afternoon!
@cathyb60 , welcome back to a fellow "hooker". 😉 It's nice to have you here! Good luck with your restart!
Maureen, I go in spurts depending on my mental state. Right now I am a bit manic. I kinda hope it lasts till spring. 😁
Going to go out today and pick up chicken for soup, not to mention I just need to start my car. After today, the temps are going down again. Chicken noodle soup sounds good.
TTFN...

Good morning everyone~
What are y'all doing this weekend?
I'm doing a little bit of everything, but mostly working around the house.
Lana

Thank you all for the welcome and yes I was/am a hooker! Got rid of a lot of my stash when we downsized a few months ago but held on to enough to work with in the future when we get more organized. Not doing great this week, but at least I am paying attention to my eating and weaning away from the refined carbs and mindless eating.

Good almost Afternoon!
@cathyb60 , I donated a lot of my old yarn when moved into my apartment. But I still have 5 plastic bins full. 😉
Lana, I am in till at least Monday, depending on the condition of the roads. I have to have bloodwork done before I see my Endo next Thursday....almost forgot about it.
Maureen, hope you're feeling better today!
I have new downstairs neighbors....that was quick. I didn't realize it until I smelled something familiar as I was watching TV.....pot. Why does EVERYONE have to smoke pot?? I ended up with a headache from it (that's one reason I never used it). I hope it's only an occasional thing or I will have to say something.
And I just started smelling it again. Time to get the Tylenol.....and my air purifier out.
My chicken soup came out great, if I do say so myself. 😁
Till l8tr....

Hello everybody 👋🏻
It's very gloomy out today. That means soup!!

Howdy, everyone!
One of those feeling a little off days. Might be the snow. Been trying to crochet but can't concentrate.
Will probably finish watching Shogun tonight. Eagles game is close....trying to be positive.

Hi! 1 am a senal starter. 51 momma of four. Happily married. Lately scale has been going up than down since around holidays. 5’5 155 and would love to get to 135/140. Haven’t been there for twelve years. My weakness is grazing when cooking for my family, late night eating sometimes and eating too much on weekends esp my husband’s weekly homemade pizza. Avid reader. Dog owner of a sweet boxer. Trying to workout to Kira Stokes and increase step count with under desk cycle (desk job). Looking for accountability and to support others. Goal: change my eating habits, increase exercise and chose heart healthy foods being in. 50s.2

Good Afternoon, all!
@lauracampbell4021 , WELCOME to the group! You sound like you have a good plan in place. We will all try to be supportive. Good luck with your program!
Eagles WON!! On they go to the division conference playoff game.
Got my blood work done today. Roads were totally clear. Picked up a taco bowl for lunch/dinner and some beer for the SO. Am feeling better today.
Till tomorrow....

Good afternoon,
Didnt realize I fell out of sight for so long. Sorry about that. Waving at new people posting.
Crockpot this month has been meatloaf, enchiladas and this past weekend Broccoli Beef.
Real cold wind kicked up today it is January after all, but we are having strange weather out west.
Sleep schedule and less grazing are my focus at the moment.
Lana Its your turn to get those Cabana Boys ready for Friday Night!! They have been neglected.
Wishing all a good evening. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
Good Day!
@Tilliesmommy1, glad to see you!
Got my bloodwork results....my A1c is down to 6.2....pre-diabetic....YAY! And that's with going through the holidays. Would like to get under 6 next time.
I bought a new snail for my aquarium but it took over a week to get here.....was supposed to be delivered Saturday (razzinfrazzinpostoffice). I put it in the tank and am hoping for the best.
Lunch was a big salad....dinner will be soup.
Hello to anyone who drops by!

Hi Sandy~
Poor little snail.... hopefully he/she will bounce back soon in your care.
Sara - good to see you!
I will be thinking of a theme for Friday's Happy Hour at the Cabana Club - I'll be flying that day, so maybe some vintage Sinatra and the Rat Pack to go with the martinis. Mine will be AFree I think, so I don't trip and fall into the pool....🌴

Good afternoon,
It has been a week of Mondays,so glad tomorrow is Friday-Monday.
Had to process registration on a High School teacher of mine, he passed away recently (I did not know). Tried to stay "one step back" and spent most of the day remembering..... there is a "deceased": process to do and I do a lot of them.
This weekend is Slow Cooker chicken enchilada casserole, I might add quinoa to give a little more "bite" and protein- all ingred are in the house. Walking is staying in my goal area.
Found a chai tea that although it only has one spice (I chose the ginger one) it has 1/3 the sugar and half the price.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
Is it Friday again? Where did the week go?
Lana, my snail didn't make it. 😔 Was too long a trip in the cold. So much for patronizing a small business...will have to try Petsmart.
I am working on a cat stitch afghan for a girl and did 10 rows last night. I stopped to get ready for bed and then I saw it....a glaring mistake all the way back where I started. I couldn't fix it, so I had no choice....I had to take off all I had done all evening and start to rework it. I was not a happy camper.
Till tomorrow....
Sandy
