Hi Barbie, It really isn't that cold here yet. It is just we were in the 90s a week ago (highly unusual) and then we had a radical drop to frost and winds last night. I think I was just a bit unprepared to make such a radical adjustment. I too actually like to walk in cooler weather. I will walk outdoors as long as we have not snow and ice, but have several good walking videos and an elliptical to walk on for days when it is just too unbearable to be outside for long.3

Tom stopped over with Homer and brought be 2 cute turkey decorations and and a apple stuffed sachet as a thank you. I'm sure it was Elena's doing but the thought was there ..
Going to be very odd tomorrow not going down to feed him breakfast.
Brought down treats and a couple cards for the staff and told them thank you and we love them very much xoxo6 -
Well, believe it or not, I am online nearly every day but for w/e reason, I keep forgetting to check this thread! *mybad*
How is everyone?? I'm doing better weight-wise, lost 9.4# so far, so I'm happy to report that! I get on the scale again tomorrow morning & maybe it's even more by now, eh?! 😉
I see that some are talking about the cold weather we're having; here in Michigan it's been in the 40s! It's about that time of year, but seriously?! 40s?! To me, that's just a bit much...I'm anemic so I feel it very quickly! We've had our furnace on for the past several days; one daughter tells me every year to wait until November, but I'm sorry...I just can't! And since I'm home so much of the time now I really don't feel like freezing to death LOL.
It just makes me wonder what tomorrow will bring.... 🤔3 -
Did Denise Austin’s hot body yoga DVD today. The plan for tomorrow is to do one segment of the 10MS Fitness Ball Workout and then take the extremepump class.
Welcome everyone new
Victoria – why not let the stress control your eating? Only have veges like celery or cherry tomatoes or baby carrots already cut up in the refrig where you can see them and eat those when you are stressed. Pretty soon you won’t need/want them. I’m definitely an evening eater, I’d eat everything and anything in the evening. So what I do is try to have some fruit or veges right out on the counter so when I’m tempted at night I give in to the temptation, only I have those veges and fruit that I’ve laid out and even prelogged. Even hard boiled eggs
Rita – sure hope they get those meds worked out!
Lenora – thanks for popping in!

Had a restful yet productive day. Got some more sorting done, clean-up, etc. Put together packets of old hangers to take to food pantry this week. Iced leg several times and did one set each of various stretches for IT band and piriformis. Pain is reduced and knee feeling a bit more stable.
Had a nice FaceTime visit with youngest son. He was teaching his girlfriend how to make Shepherds' pie. Evidently she doesn't cook at all. Will spend some time with them next Sunday in Columbus.
Have work off tomorrow but have a lot on the schedule. Supposed to be a high of 61 tomorrow-was in the 90s a week ago. Finally broke down last night and turned on furnace. We'll see what the winter brings-I wouldn't mind a milder one as long as we get snow for Christmas.
Have a good evening and good Monday.

Summarising Our Hobbies ...Take time to focus on yourself.
Machka's Main Hobbies
1. Pursuing further education.
2. Cycling.
3. Photography.
dandl1986:
pretty sure I don't have a hobby that makes me money, so I will just change that to a hobby that helps me spend money:
1. Travel would be my money hobby
2. Horseback riding is my stay in shape hobby
3. Scrapbooking is my creative hobby
barbiecat:
Machka, I knit hats to contribute to needy people, line dance as a student and as a teacher, walk my dogs, putter in my yard, and ride my exercise bike. I have more time for hobbies now that I am retired from full time employment. Barbie in NW WA
cmsavells:
Hobbies
1. Money hobby - music, I’ve done weddings and funerals from time to time. Not much any more.
2. Stay in shape hobby - I love to walk! I have several parks where I walk regularly. I only use the gym when it rains or is above 85 degrees. I don’t do heat!
3. Hobby for fun - back to music. I pretty much only sing in church choir now, and I am NOT a paid section leader any more. I gave that up in my 20s. Now I sing for relaxation and to have a night out.
Connie in KY
TerriRichardson112:
1. N/A as I’m retired, but the hobby that resembles what I used to do is volunteer group leader for U3A
2. Walking and working out
3. Writing poetry, painting watercolours, crafting.
Anniesquats100: My hobbies are writing a novel, knitting, reading, camping, horse back riding, the gym and online dating. None of them make money. Although one day I hope to sell my novel.
Annie in Delaware
Poerava14: Hobbies? Nothing that makes money, unless you count the time I spend learning about all-things-dementia. Who knows if eventually I will parlay it into a part-time job. For health, I work out regularly in a gym, to lively latin music. My creative outlet is cooking = trying new recipes, ingredients and variations that enhance health and fitness. Also, I like investing in home improvements that are beautiful and make our little condo better suited for aging in place.

auntiebk: Machka
1. nothing to make money, but gardening to save a little $$ on organic veggies
2. line dancing, dog group pack walk
3. hmm, I love to read, but that's not creative, time to get out the old guitar and keyboard? Or learn to spin? Or???
Lighter, lovelies!

exermom: Exercise would be one of my hobbies (the one that keeps you in shape). I also like to cook, maybe changing ingredients to make it more healthy.
Crafts would be another (the one that makes you happy)
Shopping (especially in thrift stores or in grocery stores – always looking for a bargain that we can use) would probably be the one that costs money
When I’m volunteering at the Green Room, I’m making hats or scarves for the homeless
Michele in NC
GodMomKim: Betsy – read the hobbies, what is electronic prospecting?
My hobbies –
Money – embroidery - sewing and gardening
Exercise – dog walking – sometimes when I can find a class yoga
Creative – cooking
Additionally – I love to read.

Machka Sorry, I don't think I had put my hobbies
1) for money - playing violin
2) for exercise - walking/hiking
3) creative - bullet journaling/coloring/scrapbooking/more music
Victoria Welcome! A few ideas on stress eating...drink a full glass of water whenever you want to eat (helps fill you up), my nutritionist suggested setting down the fork or spoon between bites...before she mentioned it I hadn't noticed that I "shoveled" my food without resting between bites, keep your hands busy (my creative list above are all things you could do that require your hands)We had a shower for our upcoming grand daughter. My sister from PA gave me a t-shirt to wear with an iris (the baby's name). She also sent a onesie that had the same picture for the Baby! So thoughtful!
Hope everyone has a Happy Day tomorrow (or whenever it is for you)... Luci in WNC 2 -
Sharon our paths likely crossed at Tilden. I was there then... when I wasn't at Redwood Regional or on the Cal campus.

Re: the hobbies:
1. Writing
2. Gym six days a week
3. Writing, painting, quilting, crocheting, woodwork, furniture refinishing
Hopefully, once I retire (which seems to be moving further away!) all the ones in #3 will become #1s.
Kids here at noon, time to go to the gym, get back and put in five productive hours at work before they arrive.
Love y'all,

Hello everyone.
I found this quick article on MFP regarding 6 Tricks for Weight Loss.
https://blog.myfitnesspal.com/6-tricks-for-weight-loss-that-have-nothing-to-do-with-dieting/?otm_medium=onespot&otm_source=onsite&otm_content=article-page:inline-unit-text&otm_click_id=f7e9039f-2fb2-4377-bc65-a03e5c521bdb
The Hobbies- For Money - Work. I am attempting to find my "niche". I am seeking a hobby I may enjoy that will allow me to produce another income stream. And, because I sit all day I do not want one where I have to sit to perform it.
- For Exercise - Walking, weight lifting, and Yoga.
- For Creativity - Gardening, reading, and flower arranging.
Wishing everyone a day filled with hope and peace.

1) for money - drawing (I think I mentioned that I am a freelance artist?), I also have my late husband's benefits xo
2) for exercise - lots of walking, gardening
3) creative - again...drawing LOL, making rosaries for the missions
On a slightly different note: I weighed in this morning (I am taking part in the online weight loss challenge for Fall) and I have lost 10.2 lbs so far! ~ since I started in late August ~ so I am feeling very HAPPY this morning!!

Morning, on the road again! We are finishing a quick trip to upstate ny (hi beth) to visit DD at school. First time seeing her apt and of course I snuck a peek into her fridge (empty) so I’m off to grocery shop for her—can’t help myself before we leave.
Just finished 3 miles on hotel treadmill and will have a family breakfast then off to roam the “road less taken “ home. The autumn leaves are staring to turn and here’s the proof!

Rita Hope you adjust to your meds quickly! Sorry they are bothering you!
Pip Love your doggies!
Terri I'm not artsy in my bullet journal, but I love stickers! I wish I could draw, but it's not a gift I was given. Will have to read some of those books on how to draw different things step by step.
Kate LOL not making money, mostly spend it! Me, too. I have to be careful now that we are retired!

First cruise ship of the season arrives tomorrow ...
MAJESTIC PRINCESS with 3560 passengers and 1345 crew.
I think there's supposed to be about 65 of them this season.
I'm glad I decided to do a little shopping today ... my walk tomorrow will be to the university for my last lecture of this course. But I'll catch a glimpse of the ship on my way to work.
However, that lecture is the most important lecture of them all ... it's the one that will discuss what will be on the exam!!

Kelly ~ Congrats! Joaquin looks like such a tiny bundle beside his mom. Your daughter is just beautiful. Miguel is a handsome addition.2

Love you ladies. Heather UK xxxxxxxx5 -
