    @bex -- LOVE the darling pictures!! Thanks for sharing! Casey is getting so big .. and wow ... all that beautiful hair!! I especially loved the ones where she fell asleep mid=way. SO cute!

    @Snowflake1968 -- I love the little tutu skirt! She looks like she is having a ball wearing it! The sparkes will go away .... the memories will last a lifetime! You are so fortunate living so close to your precious little grandchildren!

    @toaljasa -- Thanks for the reminder of only 49 days left LOL!!! Boy, where did the year go! But .. you have done GREAT this year!! So proud of you! And you are always on here cheering us all on. Congrats on being in the 140s!!

    @AJB1014 - what does Fish OIl do? I remember once I heard it was good for a person (but I can't remember why now!), but I just could not get used to taking it. I hated the taste of even the pills.


    @maryrobinson40 - I love the list of songs you use when you exercise! Gee ... I've got to get something to listen music to while exercising! So far now I just talk to friends, but I remember when I would go walking, and loved listening to the songs! Do you have a IPOD, or what do you use? I used to have a "walkman" years ago. Great job though in getting used to exercise. I think that is what has helped me a lot this year.

    @AJB1014 - What does the fish oil do for you? I'm not up on supplements and such.

    @Bex953172 - I hope you had a better sleep last night.

    @maryrobinson40 - Isn't it amazing what music will make us do or not do? I use Map My Walk when and it plays the music that is on my phone for me. I find if I skip the slow songs my pace is close to a minute faster. I really boogie along when Footloose (Kenny Loggins, not Blake Shelton's) comes on. I really need to create a playlist of just fast ones for working out.

    @mytime6630 - I am so very blessed to live close to my grandchildren and to get to spend so much time with them. I had a very close relationship with my grandparents growing up and have many treasured memories of time spent with them. I will always regret that we moved so far away and my girls didn't have that with mine and my husband's parents. I feel like my girls were robbed of a very important piece of their history. This daughter will always be near me us I believe. My youngest that is getting married next year, I fear I won't have as near for her whole life.

    @Bex953172 Thanks for the pics of your kids. Adorable!

    @Snowflake1968 "Mom, it looks like you have hosted an exotic dancer convention"! THAT MADE ME LAUGH!

    @cschmitz110515 "Ending up juggling work on 5 (!) projects" Made me think of this!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2MsyC9cLEg


    @maryrobinson40 How are you doing getting your exercising going? You were going great guns!

    Exercise for me has gotten to be addictive... Lol…. I actually look forward to it now. Especially the music I'm choosing to do it by. The old fun songs...
    THE"HAPPY" song puts a smile on my face...it has good tempo change to rev up my heart rate...cooling down to, "DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY" keeps me from being too hard on myself and enjoy the workout more. Bruno Mars "UPTOWN FUNK" adds pop when I'm doing low impact.along with many others, not only takes my mind off the time, it also PEPs me UP and gives me joy, so it doesn't really feel like a dreaded something to do, but a refreshing want to and can't get enough feeling happens in me.
    LMBO😂 I think I'm beginning to channel my inner child... HOTDOG!!!

    I read some crazy statistic that our bodies require 7% less oxygen during exercise when we listen to music! And I'm a strong believer that a child like sense of wonder is a healthy thing! Way to go Mary!!

    @mytime6630 and @Snowflake1968 I'm taking the fish oil specifically for lowering triglycerides - I have routine bloodwork done because I have PCOS. About 2 months into my weight loss my triglycerides spiked CRAZY high - I'm talking in the 500's! They've never been that bad before - but I read that weight loss can mess up cholesterol tests so I'm hoping for better news come January. It's also helped with joint pain. The liquid actually gives me way less fish burps/negative side affects believe it or not. It's lemon flavored to mask the fishyness.

Tech gloves on, MapMyWalk app ready to start tracking & stepped out front door at 5:58 ~ rain just started again! Sorry, dog, back inside and everything off = sad doggy! :'(

    My Thursday goals are:
    • JOurnal every bite :)
    • Drink 64+ oz of water :(
    • 5 freggies :)
    • Step Goal 10,000 :(
    • Bedtime 10:00 :) / Gratitude journal :) / Simple Abunance :) / Dodie Olsteen book :) / meditate :)
    • Attach Bex's quilt to batting and back and pin. :)Started working on this.
    • Take walk around block x2 ;)Didn't make it. My hip was bothering me, so I walked around the yard with Maddie. Actually got in quite a few steps just doing that repeatedly.
    • Finish working on to-do list. ;)Didn't actually "finish" it, but did add to it.

    Happy Friday, MFP JFTers! Boy am I ever discombobulated today. Missed my PT appointment thinking it is Thursday instead of Friday. PT called asking if I was okay since I missed and it was a real "oops" moment! They had me come in for a later time so that was good! Pretty sore right now. Stuff is getting a little harder, but it's all good!

    It's a really dreary day. Chilly and wet. Maddie keeps looking at me wondering when the heck we are going for a walk! I need to get off my butt and take her, but I'm just exhausted today. She has been waking me up to go potty every night around 4:00 a.m. and then I have difficulty getting back to sleep. Trying my best to turn that around, but so far it seems to be her internal clock. She sure is a sweetie pie though. She has even impressed my hubby with her sweet gentle nature. He won't admit it, but I caught him laying on the livingroom floor petting her earlier... (Go Maddie!!!)

    I will have to pop back on later but for now I'm going to post a few goals.

    Just for Friday
    Stick to my prejournaled foods
    Drink 64+ oz water
    Be kind and patient.
    Walk Maddie x 2
    Get early start on Christmas baking while cheering on Brewers this afternoon
    Continue working on to-do and Christmas lists
    Spend 10 minutes decluttering
    5 Freggies
    Gratitude Journal / Simple Abundance / Dodie Olsteen reading / meditate or podcast

    I bet Maddie has him won over by the time you go back to work. She'll be his shop dog during the day any your snuggle buddy in the evenings. She'll be living the life of Ryley! (Not sure who Ryley is, or where that expression came from, but I've always liked it)

    I don't have a cell phone now... I use my SMART TV... YOUTUBE and put the kitchen timer on and go for it!! Always ways to improvise. I even play games with my great nieces while we're waiting for the school bus. Simon Says, If You're Happy And You Know It.. And when I drive my daughters or someone anywhere.. I don't sit in the car and wait for them any more. Instead, I get out and walk the parking lot to get my steps in.
    Love you🌹

    I had to laugh this evening when I realised I am so tired I accidentally bought dog food instead of cat food (haven’t had a dog since the age of 10!). I woke up before 3am today and my mind was immediately whirling so I got up. But my cold has developed into a horrible sounding and plain irritating cough so I had to abandon my workout. BUT I then used the time to do some work and life admin so not a complete waste!

    Friday goals
    - morning workout ❎ started but had massive coughing fit and had to stop!
    - Pack slim rice and noodles to take to colleague ✅
    - Buy oatcakes on way to school ✅
    - Print and trim for next week ✅
    - Collect car at lunchtime ✅
    - Hot yoga after work ✅
    - Pack girls for weekend with their dad and wash their hair ✅
    - sleep!! ✅ I’m on my way now!

    Happy Friday all! Will post some weekend goals tomorrow morning. X

    HAPPY FRIDAY SISTERS...
    I did some exercise , but disappointed that I couldn't reach the 7K this week, my left knee is paining me something fierce today. Had to bite the bullet and only made it around that parking lot twice before I had to give in to the discomfort and get home before I did some serious damage. Only cleared under 5K today and cried because I truly want nothing to foil the progress I've made.
    JFThis Evening....
    Ice and elevate my knees putting ointment on the.
    Have A Great Weekemd

    Mary, honey, I think 5k is great! I don’t think you “only got 5,000”....I think “wow! You got 5,000 today instead of skipping your walk like I was tempted to do”! One day of taking care of yourself will likely help you to continue moving forward rather than stop your progress! Remember, this is a lifestyle! We are making lifelong healthy habits. Now wrap your arms around yourself and give yourself a hug from me! Ha!

    @Faebert I sure hope your cold clears up soon!

    @Snowflake1968 I had to laugh at your “workshop dog” comment. You are so perceptive! I came home from the store, and when I opened the garage door to put my car in, there he was sanding a project in his workshop area and guess who was laying by his feet?! Yep, Little Miss Maddie is now a workshop dog.

    I meant to tell you also, I love the snowman ornaments!

    Thanks everyone for the Christmas ideas! Lots of great ideas! ❤️
