Annie - berating yourself does not good, just keep moving fowards.

Good evening,
Missy, that was no rant, that was explaining why your world got crazy! Not uncommon for job changes to be "adjusted" has nothing to do with you - usually it is signature/paperwork/$$.
Lady who came back into the department (she worked in another section) had to delay a surgery so she could take job. Luckily she will get it done before Summer. She is so glad to be back in the department again (transfer that just did not work) that she is doing her best waiting (elbow injury).
Lana - never saw the movie - dental office (that is former dentist) used to play it in the waiting room and I would hear the office manager sing along - that alone should have sent people screaming out of the place!! I couldnt tell if playing the disney films were to amuse the children or the office manager.....
Hot chocolate on tap. - 3 chemotherapy hats done. Will see if I can borrow coworker circular needle for this pattern, I lose too many stitches and it annoys me.
Lounging in chair - dog with large chew bone on one of the Cboys lap looking just too pleased with herself.
Have a good evening.1 -
That Tillie!
She has all the fun. But, to be fair, it IS Saturday Night!
Funny about the movie in the dentist's office!
Missy! What vacation? Did I miss your telling the details? Are you staying home and relaxing, or are you traveling? I need to go on somebody's vacation! Wait--this is sounding vaguely familiar......I cannot get the memory to come back though. Seems I begged to be put into someone's suitcase, but maybe that was a dream?
Lana1 -
hey, a "group-cation" - I will leave Tillie with the Cboys and join you!

SUNDAY
Good morning,
Dog up and fed. Back for more sleep. My former car was white and I could see it easier - Pollen on car. We have had so much rain we will have extra bad allergy and mosquito season. Lovely.
Cooking is today's goal. Knitted enough yesterday.
Wishing all a great day. BBL.1 -
Carrots, radishes and sweet potatoes in oven - carrots and radishes will be wrapped up croissant dough later. Artichoke boiling for awhile. Will wash hand wash dishes, then use large pot to boil potatoes for dinner.
Bought a ceramic bunny head to take to work. Was too cute to pass up.
Annie - consider making pita bread pizzas - or flatbread pizzas. I throw my pitas in the freezer and toast them in the toaster oven to thaw them out. Use regular tomato sauce, string cheese and toppings of choice. It is the amount of cheese and the crusts that make pizza such a calorie drain.
Dog was up fussing this morning, probably has allergies too.1 -
Good morning Ladies~~
The sun is out. It is time to get dressed and get outside for a walk!

Sunday afternoon
Yes! It's finally warm enough to take a walk outside. 1.4 miles with an average 16.42 minute mile. Not as fast as last summer yet but better than the last time I walked. I could definitely feel it in the "bad" leg but not too badly. Sad that my workout/walking clothes are snug. But hoping more walking will help with some slimming down.
Did not check the scale today. Supper out last night was a cheeseburger and fries. Did not eat popcorn at the movies since we had just eaten supper. I did share some junior mints with DD.
Day 19 of no pop. Breakfast was eggs and coffee. Lunch was creamed tuna on biscuits (tasty but not low-carb). We are grilling burgers for supper. I will eat mine on a sandwich thin. Side of green beans and potatoes.
On to more laundry...

Good evening,
Made more than enough potatoes for Shepherd's pie and put roasted radishes in so it has a little "bite".
Annie Day 19!! That is such a good accomplishment.
After dinner walk and who knows??
Wishing all a great evening.2 -
When you feel like quitting, remember why you started - no name listed.1

MONDAY
Good morning,
Weigh in was a gain and not too surprised. Less snacking at work - less chocolate cake at work too!!
Allergies has me wishing for more sleep, so will drop back under the covers after breakfast.
Wishing all a great day. Wave to all who follow.1 -
Morning... rough weekend at work... sick puppies... one didn't make it... never gets any easier...
PMS'd for a week and a half.. finally started, 3 days late... miserable...I had completely missed in November...had never missed in my life... out of curiosity, I looked it up...I have almost all the symptoms of Perimenopause... blah...I never had the chance to learn about or discuss this with my mom (or anyone else) as she had a full hysterectomy at 34 and went straight into Menopause... so, yet another reason for weight gain that will be difficult to lose...the joy of being a woman...hahaha
Everyone have a good day!

Hi Ladies~~
Too busy a day today. My fault. I was lazy over the weekend, and I let everything pile up onto today.

Thank you Sara... just got to get my mind right and get moving!0 -
Waves Lana! Will be curled up under Palm Tree all day

Will check in later...1 -
Monday
Blah. Just blah. Did not sleep well. Drama with DS. Trying to breathe deeply and let go of it.
Haven't checked my BP lately but probably should start before I have to go to dentist next week. They started checking it there, which I hate. Better to know what to expect and then tell them I'm seeing my doctor in April (which I am). I know all this stress and drama can't be helping. High BP runs in my family. I may end up on meds even though I don't want to. Just sad because I always used to have such low BP.
Did not check scale again. Yesterday was pretty good although a bit carby. Happy to say I got over 10,000 steps on Friday and Sunday! Had a nice 1.4 mile walk with DD and dog yesterday. Hope I can start doing more of that.
Day 20 of no pop! Good plan for the day.
Will lurk from work,

Annie - hope things get better for you soon...I know how it is to be stressed... not a day goes by, that I don't feel I can't possibly take anymore... things just keep piling up and I feel like I'm gonna break.. maybe, hopefully, things will calm down when your DS comes back home... I'm sure, being away makes things more stressful for him as well...
I just threw together a Smoothie and I'm not sure how to log it...I didn't follow a recipe... just put ingredients in my Ninja...
Should I just log each ingredient individually? Or, try to find a Smoothie that is similar to what I made? Hmmm...
I read the Blog about taking your dog for runs... I've been wanting to do this for awhile, now... then, it is up to 81 deg, today and I just took dogs out to potty.. we weren't out there 10 minutes and my make (the one I wanted as running partner) was panting and his tongue was starting to curl...soooo... not so sure that will be a good idea...
Not accomplishing much, today... same as Annie... Blah blah day...0 -

YES THIS is me lol have started and quit so many times. Thinking back, I realize, if I would have stuck with it, I would have been to goal by now and living a more free life. It is definitely time and I am so thankful I am not the only one to be a serial starter0 -
Good evening,
Rain started and now warm and humid. Dinner almost ready and I am ready to sit under the Palm Tree with Lana very soon.
Welcome new poster!
Wishing all a good evening.1 -
TUESDAY
Good morning, Rain here again and while dog "let me" sleep in, I know her walk will be short so I am putting a little extra time on the alarm clock.
Baby's funeral is today. Couple of cars from work are going. Cards and a donation was asked for to help the family.
Food has been good this week. Have not been snacking as much and yes I do notice how hungry I am at meals.
Wishing all a good day. Will lurk from work.1 -
Tuesday
Better night of sleep. Checked the scale and it has dropped quite a bit. Water weight from TOM is finally shedding. Still .6 lbs to go to get back to my lowest weight for this year (which was on 3/9/17). Telling myself I am seeing the benefit of trying to stick with it and be consistent even when the scale doesn't cooperate or agree. Eventually the number goes down.
It was a busy night last night with DD's tae kwon do and then helping kids with homework and getting them through their showers. I found myself too tired to work on my own homework. Will have to buckle down tonight.
Good plan for the day. Sarah, I am also trying to keep myself from too much snacking. Found that I may not take the box of triscuits to work with me as my hand keeps going into the box for more. I must only put a few in a baggie if I'm going to have them at all.
Everyone hanging in there? Will check back later.

' Morning Ladies~~

Forgot to say today is Day 21 without pop!2
-
Calories and carbs in the red. Sodium not in red but higher than I'd like. Too much snacking.
Doing homework now.1 -
Sara- so sorry about the baby... glad that some people went, and they are trying to help...so heartbreaking
Today.... today...I am so full of anger...I was told we were having a meeting this morn and that boss would be discussing schedule...ok, fine... but, I was not informed, that my job was being taken away from me and given to someone that doesn't do her job! I am being put in her job... it's not the job that bothers me... it's the fact of what is being done...I am being punished and she is being rewarded, for not doing her job.... he can't be a man and write her up or fire her... or, even discuss issues with her... instead, I get to suffer...I could talk to him, but he will fire me..I truly believe he will...as the first thing he said in the meeting, was we either do exactly as he says, or we're fired... and, since he threatens to fire me, every time I stand up to him, I believe he will... so, I am going to look for another job...I don't want to leave the animals...I am just so frustrated... tired of being threatened...0 -
Good evening,
Made good food choices until after the funeral, tanked a little after that. 7 people from work showed up (our department has almost 60 people) and some said they will go to services tomorrow. I hope so, this man is such an integral part of the group and willing to help everyone. So calories galore....
Dawn, to work in that kind of situation is not good for your health. Start looking for work tomorrow, it will take awhile and just looking for work takes some of the pressure off your situation (at least for you). Sending good next job thoughts.
Have tomorrow off and I am glad - hair and nails. Will try and keep the eating to a "normal" day. Will get calories for sweeping as major storm came through and blew all kinds of stuff on the sidewalks....
Will be under Lana's Palm Tree with hot water bottle and Miss T.
Wishing all a good evening.

Oh my goodness---Dawn!
You must get out of there immediately!
Sara's right: completely toxic for your health, mental and physical.
Go, go, go!
Get away from that slimy creep of a waste that is your boss.
*Cabana Boys on the private jet with Anger-Away Spray for Dawn to spritz herself with until she finds her next job.

Have a good Day Of Beauty tomorrow Sara!
Annie - I am so proud of you getting rid of that pop for 21 days---Three Weeks! Congratulations!

WEDNESDAY
Good morning,
Hard rain to greet us this morning. Dog is up and fed and i am going back to sleep.
I am with Lana - Annie ! 3 weeks gone - what an accomplishment. Sending along a "knock em dead on the job interview" spray for Dawn - ran to catch those cboys before they left...
Will stop by later. Wave to all who follow.1
