Good evening,

One last piece of chocolate to celebrate done with dental stuff for awhile, get new night guard in a couple of weeks.
Lana!! Glad you are taking care of yourself - apts and resting.
Tillie and I will meet you for tea - make it iced for me please. Cold quiche for dinner.
Wishing all a great night.1 -
Good afternoon (well, here in Germany anyway)
Had a great day off yesterday. Went to get recipe books from the library and using my time at work today to copy all the interesting ones.
Hope everyone's having a great Tuesday so far!2 -
TUESDAY
Good morning,
Iamunicoon - recipes stop boring from becoming a food binge - what did you find?
One more seriously nasty day heat wise and pollution. Window open for a little bit.
Miss T needs her grooming it is hot and she is not in her summer "do" until June apt. We take more pit stops in the middle of the night. Just is.
How is everyone's week plan going? What are you working on this week to stay on course?
Water is necessary here with the heat and walking is in the early hours.
Oatmeal takes half the time - keep forgetting. If I buy this stuff again it will serve me right!!
Wave to all who follow.1 -
Tuesday
I've been MIA again. Last week was pretty good until Friday night.
Now up 2 lbs from last week.
Need to concentrate on cutting out the sweets and carbs. Really haven't budged the scale much since Christmas. Haven't gained, but really haven't lost. Weather has been horrible, so no outside walking due to cold and rain. I have gotten on the treadmill a couple of times but it's not the same.
Only about 30 days until I see my girlfriends from HS and seriously feeling like bailing out if I can't lose a few lbs. I did order a new shirt and a new dress in the hopes of finding something I might like to wear when I see them. And hoping one or both items are a bit slimming.
Eye allergies are so-so. Really wish they would let up completely. Trying Zyrtec on top of the Singulair and the Zaditor drops. Almost dries my eyes out too much. Cut back to 1/2 a Zyrtec today. Skin at the corner of my eye is still red, dry, and peeling. Maybe slowly improving??? I continue to use the coconut oil to moisturize it.
Will lurk from work.

Hi All~~
Sara's Question of the Day:

What are you working on this week to stay on course?
AOTD: Clean grocery shopping, AND! treating this coming holiday weekend as if it were regular days.
Memorial Day Weekend is NO CHOICE*--stay on plan.

Good evening,
101 today - yikes! Extra water came in handy. Dinner is ready, though the weather is so hot, not sure I am ready to eat.
Lana - Good looking ahead to a holiday that is usually high in calories.
Find me under Lana's Palm tree in Hammock with Miss T1 -
Annie - Zyrtec doesn't work as well as they claim, for me...I go back and forth, between that and Clairitin.... allergies... such pains0

WEDNESDAY
Good morning.
Supervisor's last day which means who in our department will be working? We shall see. New Supervisor will be prove to be interesting as I rarely see her.
I finished making a "jellyfish" to send to NICU the "legs" resemble umbilical cords to preemies and they sleep better and their BP goes down. I was not sure how to sew it together, so we shall see how the next one goes.
Cooler here- thank you. Window open and air quality is okay. Nice change.
Memorial Day weekend - any food plans to share??
Wave to all who follow. Make it your best Wednesday.1 -

Sara - you are so wonderful in caring for these babies and patients...I know, it makes them feel so good when they get hats or comforting things... good things to come to you!1
-
I was just informed, as SO and I have to share a ride, that I will have to be getting to work crazy early...1 1/2 hrs or so... so, I am trying to convince myself, no better time to start C25K! I walk by all the dogs and know they would love to go for a walk/ run... now, I just need to stick with it... make myself do it... mornings are just not my favorite tune of day..I like sleep too much...2

Good morning All~~
No idea how to manipulate pages. I just have the first page bookmarked, and then I click on the last number "88" on my computer. OR, I keep the page open and minimized, and then refresh it. I need to come here every day. It's my life preserver.
Sara - We've been here since July 15th of last year. Feels like it's been so much longer!
Glad your weather is cooler. Do you have air conditioning in your home? My sister does not, and she's been roasting.
Time for shower, laundry, knitting circle, then doctor's appointment, then maybe a trip to Michael's for a couple of brushes? Then maybe Trader Joe's near Michael's? If energy holds up.
All you peeps with cars, count your blessings!

Hi guys. I'm new here. I've started and stopped.so many times I've lost count but I'm jumping back on journey and I'm determined to stick with it this time. I've never participated in any part of the community here but everyone seems so nice.2

Welcome Glenn~~

Well.. no time like the present...SO has to be at work, early in morn... guess it will depend on weather, if I try to walk dogs... supposed to rain... definitely over rain...the cool temperatures have been nice, tho...0

Good evening,
Such a nice day weather wise. Just grateful.
3 new people coming into department. One has been trying for years.....our new boss and her are buddies. As my job is to keep my job, I say nothing except she is a nice person - this should be interesting to watch. Hope they dont ask me to train her or give her my work load. Not in the mood to learn new stuff today.
PACO - cant help you with that not a tech person.
Glenn - welcome, stop by when you can.
Dawn - if you have a crazy early start time (or do you just get there too early??) can you walk your dogs after work?
Dinner ready and I am hungry - so will crawl under Lana's Palm Tree after dinner.1 -
Sara - I don't start work til 8:00am... but, SO now starts at 7:00am...we share a ride... so, I will be getting to work, about 6:30...so, was thinking of walking before work... I'm thinking... but, the more I think..the less motivated I get... I'll see how I feel in morning...
Good luck with new supervisor and co worker... hopefully, you get to keep to yourself without too much interference...

THURSDAY
Good morning,
Hoping for more sleep before work. Also thinking I might sleep better tonight. Just like weight loss, sleep does not follow logic.
Finished Dinosaur hat for coworker, so 3 packages for work this week. That's a record and that is enough for now.
Wave to all who follow. Make it your best Thursday.0 -
THURSDAY
Good morning~~
Missy - I'm glad you enjoyed that yard work and that you have more freedom now with your new job. Good for you!
Dawn - Mornings can be hard when they are not your own idea! At least it is light out at that time, right? Cheering you on to get some walking in. Try it for a while - you might adjust to liking it?
Sara - Good luck with that work situation. I hope it is not too annoying for you.

Morning didn't go quite as planned... but, I got in a good 10 min walk/jog... then, did a lot of walking in place... at least I was moving... and, the pup loved it... that's what counts to me...
Lana- thanks for cheers! Need all I can get!
Have a great day all!0 -
Thursday
Did so well yesterday! Started out today right and then had a celebratory breakfast at DD's school that was held for all of the students of the month from this year. (waffles and omelettes) Had to be in pictures. Boy, angles do make a difference. Realized how chubby I am looking. Trying not to get down but rather use it as fuel to motivate myself to keep doing well. These emotions just make me want to eat. But I'm already the chubby friend and would like to be a little slimmer by the end of June when I see my high school classmates.
Tracking my points, doing a 30 day squat challenge and arm challenge, and trying to get in a couple of planks each day. I am sore from 3 days of squats! Really going to stay on track this weekend and get in some good walks, too.
Need to go back and catch up on some of your posts. Keep up the good work, everybody!

Good evening,
I dont think sleep will be any problem tonight. I need to eat and then who knows??
So cold walking dog this am I had to upgrade from capris to winter pants to wear to work.
Wishing all a great night.1 -
FRIDAY
Good morning, TGIF and 3 day weekend coming for me. (Not everyone gets to take Monday off....).
If the weather report is true.... wonderful weather for next week as well.
I would usually have at work the chili with baked potato with cheese, but I had chili yesterday.... maybe just the baked potato with broccoli, tomatoes, onions and a little cheese.
Granola after dinner is creeping back in, so I need to think about making herbal tea instead. We do so well all week and then the bad habits show up again - recognize them and manage them.
Will lurk from work. Have a great Friday. Wave to all who follow.1 -
Good morning All~~
Sara I think that the bad habits show up when we are tired. It is good to recognize the potential hazards. Glad to hear you are getting some nice, not beastly, weather coming your way. That could mean the same for my sister, which makes her less grumpy. LOL
Today I have a major project: empty the cabinet under the kitchen sink and try to unclog the drain by undoing the cap at the bottom of the trap and try to snake it out. Somehow my drain does merge with the drain of the man who lives in the next door apartment. I hope I can stomach whatever ickadoo I pull out of there.
Reward for doing drain will be a trip to the Greek Tourism Bureau. There is a chance I might go to Greece with girlfriends in the fall of 2018.
QOTD: Are you going to stay on plan and eat healthy this weekend?
Lana1 -
The kitchen drain project was a dismal failure. The plumber from down the street couldn't fix it. Don't know what to do.....
Murphy's Law dictates that these failures happen on a 3-day holiday weekend. I'm going to NC on Tuesday, so this train wreck won't get fixed until I return in mid-June. I hate plumbing.
Lana0 -
Good evening,
Lana!! Sorry your attempts did not succeed with the pipes - obviously it was not you - or plummer would have fixed it.
I nicely ignored the home made chocolate cake cupcakes that were available to me - so now I look to this weekend and wonder how to navigate without too many "oops" extras.
Place I go to on Saturdays has a grilled chicken with bbq sauce / corn and tangler onion salad with cornbread - it is enough for 2 meals and that may be how I rationalize buying it Monday?? Or I find something to make this weekend that will keep me from going to eatery after Saturday.
Right now too tired to think too hard. Person moving into empty cube is really loud - hence the Supervisor who left's comment about using my headphones - so I am recharging the unit right now. Better to be prepared.
AOTD - only thing I can think of it to make sure to walk more than I do on weekends to keep active.
Hope to fly by before lights out, will be under Lana's Palm Tree giving Lana moral support for at least trying to fix the sink.....1
