Haha I'm giddy too!
First thing I'm gonna do when it arrives is lay it out and take a pic for you with Casey on it!
I'm starting your thank you gift tonight (please bare in mind it will be smallish) and maybe not great but that's the whole point isn't it, it's something crocheted by hand with alot of thought and love gone into it!
I am so excited to see the pic with Casey on it!
You could send me a simple string of yarn, and I would cherish it because it was sent by you! LOL!!! And I'm not kidding! I'm just really excited about this. :flowerforyou: 2 -

Haha well I've just hunted through Pinterest and found it
Can't wait to start it, I'll have to have pen and paper at the ready because I always lose count of stitches haha2 -
Haha oh crap I forgot to tell you all
All the Harry Potter talk made me download the kindle app and I got all the books from The Philosophers Stone to The Deathly Hallows.
I started reading on 2nd Oct and finished on the 4th Nov.
LOL
Fortunately the app worked with no Internet as it was downloaded to the app!
And that sums up what I've been doing the last few weeks LOL5 -
Thank you so much for your prayers and good thoughts. I just spoke with her and with the nurse at the rehab. She's been trying to get up by herself and is a fall risk so they have her up at the nurse's station to monitor her
. She did however admit that she can't be by herself anymore so I think as hard as rehab has been, it has paved the way for us to transition her to the ALF.
Thanks again for your support
. I nearly sat down to cry after talking with her but had to keep my chin up in order to continue with my day here at work. The good thing was that I walked all the while I spoke with her and I'm at 8,624 steps 4 -

Awhh having that talk was never going to be easy, but atleast your mum had recognised for herself that she would need to go to some sort of assisted living
Hugs for you. X
Well done on the steps lol!3 -

BLISS... WHAT IS IT? DOES IT EXIST?...IT'S THE AHHHHH in Amazing. I hope each of you find or create
a BLISSFUL moment this weekend... I know we have busy lives, that come with unexpected twists and turns.
I for one need those "Ahhh" moments, whether it's in the arms of genuine unconditional love,
the uninhibited smile of a child, a quirky thing an animal does, or a fond childhood memory that takes
you away from troubles and make you burst at the seams with laughter.
Ok. Enough from me...lol….
JFT FRIDAY

IT'S HALLMARK CHANNEL ADDICTION LADIES AND I'M GUILTY OF TELEVISION FREEZE

BE Conscious of my goals - DO NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH MYSELF!
I just snacked yesterday, I don’t know why except boredom I guess. Have to be better this weekend. I can’t meet any of my goals when I’m not doing anything to get there.
Had a great evening last night with hubby. Doing some cleaning today and going to pick up a load of barn boards. I don’t know what we’re doing with them but I’m sure we’ll come up with something.
Lauryn asked if she, her friend and children could come out today. Of course I said yes, but this will take away some crafting time.

I was invited to join you by Carol (CSchmitz110515), who's also on my Friends list. I began my journey at 380. I'm down 76 pounds and am at 304. I cannot WAIT to leave the 300s! Just broke a 6-week plateau.
My only exercise is walking and I wear my Fitbit and walk at least 6k steps a day, 7 days a week. I'm working a plan with my doctor...started at 2k a day, then 3.5k, then 5-7k and now at 6-8k. Anxious to get to 10k but that will take extra planning, as I work full time and teach piano four days a week.
My first major goal is to hit 250. At that point, I'm going to buy a bike and start riding in my neighborhood and in local parks. I will then set another goal and continue on. I'm 52 years old. It's past time for this action. This is my second major weight loss attempt, the last being 18-20 years ago.
Somebody give me a breakdown of the purpose of the JFT list. Hope to fit in with ya'll. Oh yeah, I'm in coastal Virginia, about a half hour from the ocean front (Virginia Beach).
Take care,
Jessica
HI JESSICA... THAT'S MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER'S NAME...🙋

Which Fitbit tracker are you using? I heard that Charge 3 and Ionic are the best ones for accuracy, but it would be very helpful if you'd share your experience. Thanks2 -
Good Morning Ya'll! Babysat for my sweet friend next door so she could do a paint night with friends. Wore me out! Where do these kids get their energy?!! If we could just get a small dose of that, we'd drop this weight quick as a NY minute! LOL
JFT - Saturday:
Drink my 64 oz of water.
Get an extra thousand steps above my regular 6k steps.
Unload the dishwasher.
Log my food.
Stay within my calorie budget.
Have patience with my piano kids.
Teach all my lessons today.
Encourage the kids on their recital pieces.
Pass out lots of "good job" stickers!
Get to the store and pick up supplies for the house.
Speak to everyone that I pass and get a few smiles!
Relax this afternoon and watch a movie on the Hallmark channel.
Cook a fabulous dinner in my air fryer.
Use the lb of ground turkey in the fridge.
Eat at least 5 fruits or veggies.
Hit my protein limit for the day.
Have a fabulous Saturday all!
@georgetalkative I use the Fitbit Blaze. Only one I've ever owned and bought it as a reward for myself in early Spring of this year. I like the large screen, the customization and the features. LOVE the challenges! I'm becoming a bit of a competitive walk junkie!

Yes -- quilting is my passion! It is the best therapy. I love scrap quilts the most .. and thats what I also used to do. Cut up old clothes and turn them into quilts. Now, I still save everything --- and hoping to start making blue jean quilts for the homeless. My list is so long of what I want to do .... if only I had the time 3 -

Oooh! I'm excited! I'm sure whatever it is, I WILL love! But honestly, just seeing a pic of Casey on the quilt will make me grin like a monkey!

It's the first one they came out with.
As with all things, discipline, and diligence are keys along with coming on here for accountability.
Having a fitbit to me is like having the proverbial string around the finger, except this thing vibrates
to remind you to get moving and if you're like me, with the string, you're wondering what the string is
there for...😂😂 LMBO.
I like the Fitbit, but it only truly counts if you wear it. Many times, I'd get out of bed and start doing
things and would be an hour involved before I'd realized I had made all these steps without it.
And then it's taking it off to shower, or wash my hands. So it's basically what you make it.1 -

Late in the day, but posting JFT anyway...
Recap F 11/9 ~ So it was snowing when I woke up. Since I had walked dog night before, no a.m. workout... maybe something tonight? Otherwise, it's a rest day. It was a rest day. 
1) Nov. challenge ~ 5 somethings every bathroom trip = Mostly forgot
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / not in afternoon since I will be at another location for observation at mock session = Fitbit 10,220 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 39 floors
3) Meals & snacks prelogged / net calories <100 red (allowed for rest day
) / 12c water = Net calories -209 (not counting midnight snack of Bugles & 1Tbsp peanut butter 
), sodium green, sugar -8, fiber & protein excellent & 16c water. When I got home from work/errands early, I was starving (stomach growling) so I made some popcorn to tide me over. Not sure why I was so hungry later, but woke up and could not stop thinking of having something to eat. Oh well.
4) Evening: get cash at bank / laundry 2 loads and even carried just about everything upstairs and put away ~ truth be told, I wanted more steps on my Fitbit / continue decluttering something = somewhat
5) Unplug 10:00 / floss / retainers although I took them out for my snack / bed & TV off 11:00 sound asleep by then (no rush to get up Sat. a.m. yippee)
JFT Sat. 11/10 ~ Snowed some overnight again! We haven't even finished raking the leaves.
1) Temps in 20s (F) & wind chill in teens, but sunny ~ waited for sun to melt snow on roads, then walked dog 3.69 mi 1:03:50 / stretched = happy dog
& happy me
2) Nov. challenge ~ 5 somethings every bathroom trip... so far so good
3) Meals are kind of a splurge today ~ Chinese buffet for lunch & will have pizza for supper (first time in very long time) / 2 pieces pizza / net calories < 200 red / 12c water
4) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & TV off 11:00 (Bible class 8 a.m. & church 9:00)2 -
Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). I no longer weigh myself daily but I peek occasionally. Saturday a.m. weigh-in is my MFP logging day. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ as long as my trend is downward, I get there when I get there!

We don’t get Hallmark Channel here and I am so jealous of everyone that does! W Network picks up a lot of them, but not new ones.
My favourite Christmas movie is one I’ve ever seen once. It’s called Santa and Pete, it describes Christmas traditions and customs from all over the world and what Santa is called. I found it on Amazon and want to buy it for the kids. Michaela is too young for it, but I think Jonah would watch it with me.2 -
I have an ankle injury and unable to workout. Depressing phase need support to eat clean and lose weight without exercise
2 -
I’m in the same boat with a back issue and surgery coming up.
I know that eating is 80% of weight loss but still frustrating.
Especially when you want to exercise.
Hang in there we can do it!!!
Let’s just watch the calories.
This to shall pass💕2 -
Well I didn’t get on here yesterday but suffice it to say it was a rubbish day. Woke up with my first period in years (came off the pill a couple of months ago after my sister’s diagnosis because of the increased cancer risk but this is the first one since). And it has hit me hard! Felt exhausted and too tired and sore to exercise. Which put me in a funk for the day.
Torrential rain, whining children, a hideous 15 mile drive on the motorway to a laser tag birthday party for the oldest, in the dark and rain so heavy I couldn’t actually see. Then couldn’t find the well-hidden laser tag venue of doom, then couldn’t get parking. Older one stressing about being late, younger one ‘jealous’ because it wasn’t her party..... good times! 🙄
Anyway, I feel weirdly better knowing that some of my battles this week will have been down to hormones! I have bloated right up and feel like my stomach is a combination of a stretched balloon and a washing machine but at least I know it will pass! Sorry for the rant/ moving on..

Well yesterday was a write off.
We went to the MILs... And that pretty much sums it up lol!
The girls behaved so badly there yesterday, it was a nightmare. Casey bumped her head on something and has a tiny cut above her eyebrow, Marley nearly choked on a small Russian doll that they had painted and had an unbelievable attitude, Saskia was the best out the lot but still far to giddy.
And I left with a headache and a bad mood lol.
I need to eat well today because tonorrow is weigh in day.
It's 7.30 am now and I'm super tired. The girls started screaming at 6.30 this morning, I was furious. I'm still half a sleep so will post some goals after a much needed coffee.4 -

Well another cruddy day.
I feel like a right ¢rap parent at times. I can't get the girls to do anything I ask. It's like anything I say is a big joke and even when they've pushed it to where I'm yelling at them they still don't stop.
Anyway today is kind of the opposite of yesterday, it's 16.25 and I've not ate anything! I've literally just had one glass of water to take my tablets this morning. Oh wait I had breakfast actually but I'm so hungry I feel like I've ate nothing!
Partner has just bought pizzas, something quick. So probably not be in the green but I'm not even bothered. Just need to get through the rest of today and keep powering through.4 -
