Annie - with us it is we finally got rain so things that werent blooming well are over-blooming. You may be more aware of it than last year. Dont forget warm compresses at night are comforting. Your week sounds a little like mine - little of this a little of that and a big mess. Hang in there.
QP = weight loss does not make sense, so glad you hung in there to see your reward!!1 -
Yeah, I keep reminding myself that weight loss isn't linear. It can get discouraging, but I think I'm on the right track. I am going to pick up a digital food scale when I get paid too. I think that will help me be accurate and accountable.0

Good evening,
Someone at work gave me a small box of chocolates with a cute Easter bunny on the package. As I should refrain from caramel with a temp crown, I will abstain from eating any until after my crown is put in 10 days.
Dinner done, time to curl up and read or watch new netflix dvd.
Miss T will be waiting under the Palm Tree for scratches and brushing.2 -
Hi Ladies~~
Almost forgot to stop by! Wow.
I'll be under the Palm Tree borrowing Miss Tillie for a few minutes to brush her. I love doggies!

THURSDAY
Good morning,
Stayed up later than usual watching dvd, so I am hoping a little more sleep will help. I know someone who bing watches on netflix online and I am glad I cant, I would be up all hours.
Cooler temps which is welcome as I know summer is not too far away.
Lana - hope you are enjoying the quiet and hope the temps get better.
Will lurk from work. Wave to all who follow.1 -
Hey everyone!
Today is dinner with my dad (every Thursday night). Again, I've planned out my calories for the night. That seemed to work well last week.
My daughter and I are back to doing the virtual races with Yes.Fit. We did 2 last summer and it was fun. I've been walking 2 miles a day after work. It's been fun. I forgot how much I love walking around our town. We also have a nice park an hour away from us. My daughter walks there and back with me.
I also got a Fit Bit for my anniversary. I want to take it to Chuck E Cheese to see how much I walk following my daughter, because I never play games lol
I hope everyone is having a good day!0 -
Thursday
Hi everyone! It's my Friday and I'm done 2 hours early today, the weather is beautiful, and I'm feeling fabulous!
Tracking has been going well. I have not checked the scale. Maybe tomorrow. Just really trying to concentrate on eating well and not obsessing over the scale.
Got in great 2.1 mile walk with the dog last night. Slowly but surely my pace is getting better. I wish the weather would stay like this all summer. Soon enough, the heat, humidity, and bugs will be upon us.
Eyes are a bit better today. I think they like the coconut oil around them, even though it also seeps into them from time to time. Makeup doesn't like it as well, though. Need to keep fixing and reapplying.
Much needed and overdue haircut this afternoon and then picking DS up from college tonight.
Great job with planning, qpmomma!
Will check back again later.

Hi Everybody,
Feeling really tired and uninspired today. I need a new battery.
Food is going well; exercise is just not happening. Maybe tomorrow I will walk around the house at least. I know that may sound funny, but it is a ranch layout and it is possible to walk in an circle/oval with the way the rooms and hallway are.
I just don't have the energy yet. Very humid outside, so outside walking won't be happening today.
Tomorrow is another day.

Good evening,
Had to walk both breaks to keep number green today.
Crown is in, so maybe I dont have to wait more than a week to get it taken care of..... playing phone tag with lady who makes appts for my dentist.
Reading and knitting on tap. Dinner is frozen, so I am getting things done on computer before I tackle that.
Walking anywhere counts Lana - walk your house as much as you need to!
Wishing all a good night.0 -
FRIDAY
Good morning.
Dentist has my crown - do I want to come in sooner? Phone tag time.
Food and exercise have been better this week, so that is encouraging.
Missy/Dawn hope you are doing well. Annie hope your day at the hair salon went well. QP, keep up the walking and Lana - do what exercise you can.
Oatmeal almost done. Wave to all who follow. TGIF!!2 -
Friday! I did really well at dinner last night. Today I am working then I plan on doing a walk then game night.
Have a good day, all!1 -
Hey everyone, I've just joined the group.
Today I got my gym membership and planned my weight loss journey. It'll be hard to cut my lovely carb intake but it's gonna worth it, right?!

Happy Friday!
Welcome to sebalisveris! What's your name? That user name is a mouthful! LOL! Congrats on your gym membership and the beginning of your WLJourney.
Hello to QP and Missy and Dawn and Annie and Sara!
Sara - did you get an appointment for your new crown?
I hope everyone survives the day. My surprise of the day is that my next door neighbor brought in a tree company to cut off the dead branches from my oak that overhang his property. I am so grateful, because he is paying for it! Hoping also my tree doesn't lose its balance and fall over. Crossing fingers.
Leftover pork chop and big salad planned for dinner.
The Cabana Boys are planning quite the Happy Hour today, complete with Zero Point cocktails and treats. Extra brushing for all of the doggies.

Good evening,
Bags of preemie hats will be back in my possession. My connection to the hospital broke and I will have to find another. At least I will get them back to try again.
I will be learning how to knit a dinosaur hat for a baby present. A little more challenging and colorful.
Tired, will hang out with Lana at the poolside .
Hope everyone had a good day.1 -
I'm definitely a serial starter hoping this is the time I break the cycle! I'm feeling very motivated and I haven't let many of the road blocks turn into excuses. I tend to do well for a couple of weeks, the fall hard off the wagon HARD. Hoping that surrounding myself with a supportive and motivating community will help me pull through and turn this into a lifestyle!1

SATURDAY
Good morning,
Dog up and fed more sleep for me?? Hope so. Hot water going for hot water bottle. Tad chilly this am.
Kelsey - welcome! Stop by and post when you can.
Lady I met online through WW and the FB page that the group uses now is in Hospice. We all asked for address to send a card. I have some pretty bird/flower cards that are blank inside.
Errands and then home. Made 4 dinosaur spikes last night in orange and light purple. Thinking of making hat dark purple. We shall see.
Water just stopped boiling, so I will stop by later. Wave to all who follow.1 -
Good morning Sara -
Waves to all who stop by later. Welcome to Kelsey~~
Sara, the dinosaur hat baby present is for a specific baby, or is it something new in your repertoire for the charitable work you do? We would love to see a photo of it!
Yesterday a beautiful, but dead, fully grown red-bellied woodpecker dropped out of a pine tree right outside of my kitchen window; I saw it fall when I just happened to be looking out the window--weirdest thing ever. I went outside to check on it, but it was definitely dead. I wonder what happened? I will never know. Nature is weird.

Lana -
dinosaur hat is for a coworker who loved dinosaurs - here in CA if we see dead birds we call the animal control for West Nile Virus testing......1 -
Good evening,
Nice nap with dog curled up in blanket. Chili with cheese on top of baked potato. Have enough calories for hot chocolate later.
Found out the box of chocolate someone gave me this week has 12 pieces. Boy am I glad I made myself wait until after my crown is put in next Saturday.....
Not sure if I will fly by before lights out, so I wish all an early good night.1 -
Sara - I feel like a typical city-slicker stump-brain. I wish I knew about these things--dead birds and west nile. I flung the poor critter into the brambles/english ivy in the "wild" overgrown section near my house. Darn. If ever there is a next time, I will know better. Thanks!
I hope you have a good evening. Getting ready for bed here....
See you all tomorrow~

Fell off the wagon hard on Thursday night and yesterday. Today was a bit better, but still didn't really track. Tomorrow will do my best with supper at in-law's for Mother's Day. I did get in nearly 15,000 steps today with running errands and going on a 2 mile walk. Not ready to throw in the towel yet. The first part of the week was really good and tracking went fine. Just need to get back to that and again try to stick with it through the weekend! Wanted a margarita tonight but DH said no - being supportive of not doing more damage. I appreciate that. That was when I went for the 2 mile walk instead.
Time to put my feet up and relax....after I put in one more load of laundry!

SUNDAY
Good morning,
Dog up and fed a little later than usual but she is taken care of.
Happy Mother's Day - I will miss the extra crowd at the grocery store with any luck as I go really early.
Will be using turnips (really small) and radishes in salad mix I bought and add extra leaves of baby lettuce - got fruit/veg box yesterday (delivered to wrong place).
Quiche making today (broccoli, onion and mushroom) - and will hard boil eggs for work snacks.
Extra sleep first.
Wave to all who follow. BBL

Happy Mother's Day! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!0

Happy Mother's Day!
It is another Sunday down here with no scale.
Will weigh in on Wednesday once I'm back in NYC.
I need to advance another step into more seriously cutting out the junkier foods I still have been allowing myself. That and try to get some exercise. I have gotten zero exercise over the past week here in NC.
Where has Missy been? Just wondering because a big Nor'easter came through yesterday and still over New Hampshire and Maine and some of Massachusetts.
Sun is out here, birds are chirping loudly!

Today: unknown
ATHigh: 248-ish?
Goal: 185, maybe 175?1 -
Man at store dropped his vase of flowers in the parking lot. The first thing I said was " I didnt do it", I have been dropping things all morning..... he actually was picking up pieces of glass while I went in to get someone with a broom.... Men should learn to buy flowers on days other than Mother's Day and Valentines day because they raise the prices....... Just a thought.
Usually do my prep work in the morning, but I am making quiche so I will bake sweet potatoes/ crust and then quiche in the afternoon.
Found out (phew) I dont have to do laundry. So a quiet morning reading/knitting and dvd.
Lana - Missy is probably so busy with her new job.
We cant seem to keep good workers in our department, what a shame. Lady who is leaving for a temp job for a competitor left 2 week notice to keep door open.
Hope you mother's have a good day.1 -
Day went out the door when the left side of my face fell asleep and while on hold for the advice nurse my heart pounded too hard. 911 and 7 hours in er (took my knitted shawl for comfort!! and kept me warm). Ruled out stroke - will take tomorrow off so I can contact pcp and I am exhausted. Amazing how doing nothing is exhausting. I had too many things hooked up to me to knit if I wanted to. Found out my emergency # for my dog was worthless and just got off phone with groomer who will gladly help if needed. I hope everyone had a good mothers day!2

MONDAY
Had many extra calories left on book, that is a first.
Called into Sup last night, taking today off to see if I can see pcp after yesterday's adventure.
Dog is taken care of so more sleep for me.
BBL.2 -
Well, it's Monday. I am home with a sick kid.
That's about it. I have zero motivation to do anything. My only goal today is to keep within my calorie limit.1 -
Sara - please let us know you are ok... good you didn't put off getting help, no matter what...
Qp- no sick kid here... but, also zero motivation... just exhausted..
Hope everyone had a great weekend...
Have a good day2
