    Barbie that dog walk map looks motivating! Do you raise money for animal welfare through the walks?


    NYKAREN

    :) Yes. This is a delightful app. The advertisers pay to support the app and make a contribution to an animal welfare place of your own choice. The advertisers hope you'll want to purchase their products and services and the users get a nifty map at stats to motivate them on their walks. There'a a place to show the names and photos of my dogs when I open the app. Since I am immune to advertising, it is perfect for me.

    slow to start and feel beat after just 2 or 3 hours of work at the library.
    lacking confidence in my writing today and so worked on footnotes instead. that's pretty boring (looking up references), but at least it's a way to get work done.
    I'm worried that I'm not producing at a good speed...

    Heather thanks! Love the pen's colors AND the style!
    pip congrats on the personal best max speed! You ROCK gal friend!
    Felicia, a Ukiah in Oregon? Wikipedia says the Oregon town was named after the California one and is also the name of the protagonist of a series of sf adventure novels. When we lived in Idaho, we saw a highway sign in a scrap yard that said "Ukiah" but never could find such a town. In California we were told it meant Deep Valley and was also transliterated as "Yokayo" the name of our elementary school.
    Rebecca "... definitely not motivating me" jerked a laugh right out of me. Thanks, I needed that!
    Lenora glad to hear from you, you know you can vent here in safety and love.

    Do any of you have a way you figure in "weeklies" or "fluctuations" in calories : different amounts of calories on different days to come to an all around average.

    How do you set your goal in relation to such fluctuations in calories, and splurges.

    When I was on a mission to lose weight, I kept the same goal all the time.

    However, you could go with a weekly total rather than a daily total.

    when I was on a mission to loose, I just worked out harder, I try not to eat any calories that I've burned. I tend to eat the same thing every day during the week so I don't have to think about it. to some it is probably boring but I like what I eat so it's not for me.

    hkstubbs34 another trick for avoiding drive thru-have a healthy protein snack in the car, keep wallet in the trunk and choose a different route home —do this everyday until it is your new normal way to get home from work o:)
    You can do this

    Happy Derby Day!! We have a few friends over, but keeping the snacks to a minimum. It’s a bit rainy, but not the total washout we were originally expecting. I could use a little sunshine.

    Have a great weekend!!
