    I went for a walk at the park after work with a friend. We walked the walking path, and then ventured into the woods to follow the route of an old trolley line. It was pretty and a flat trail. The dogs enjoyed it!

    It looks like a bunch of trash, but it's old mink cages.

    I am very disappointed in all the Stephen King haters here! I have been trying to get started on Dreamcatcher. I have to finish Spark of Light (Jodi Picoult) first.

    I'm not a hater, just afraid of the dark. 😳

    I really enjoyed Spark of Light.

    @DaffyGirl88 I get it haha. I'm teasing :lol:

    I'm having a REALLY hard time trying to get through it. I think this may be the first book of hers that I don't enjoy... I've been struggling to get myself to read it. πŸ˜’

    @Krysless2 I read Jodi Picoults "Change of Heart" a few months back, and thought it was really good.

    I would also suggest 'Salems Lot by Stephen King. A longer read, but worth it.

    :o I can't read Stephen King *shudder*

    @Krysless2 Anything by Jodi Picoult is good. Some things that I've read recently that I really enjoyed are:

    The Guest List by Lucy Foley
    A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
    The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
    Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman
    Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey
    Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

    There's a lot of variety in that list so there should be something you would enjoy. :-)

    Excellent suggestions - I'm a fan of The Guest List and A Gentleman in Moscow as well! I haven't read the others but will have to check them out.

    Monday, April 26th

    logged: yes
    under: yes
    exercise: yes, I did my knee exercises
    steps: 9,376 (I went to work).
    water: 12 cups

    My husband had to be at work for 5:30 this morning, so he obviously went to bed earlier than I did. It was all I could do not to start snacking. When I am "working the program" I go to bed slightly hungry, so to make it work, I just need to go to bed!! Otherwise, I focus on that slightly hungry! It didn't help that Fitbit wasn't syncing last night, so even though I was 99% sure I was actually "under", it said I was 500 + in the red! That messes with my head, because usually 'red' signals that my day is screwed, and at that point I usually just decide to throw in the towel! But last night I did not!! Whoo hoo!!

    My goal for today, again, is to do my knee exercises. And I am already sitting here thinking up excuses of why I will not do them!

    It's gotten quiet around here....

    @murdog3t @thedestar @rawrxamberx

    We haven't heard from you in a while...hope you're doing okay.

    @erikNJ

    How is your back feeling these days?

    @annabananamc

    How are you feeling today? Your Monday started out really great....I hope it ended the same way.

    @JMTiv1979

    Have you been able to park "holiday mode"? I know how difficult that can be!

    @aquitteriamnot

    Hope you are having a better day today, and that you are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.

    @HASWLRS - thanks for asking. Monday didn't end too badly, but at the very end of the workday our exec. director called a meeting for today at 1:30pm and my program manager asked me to do the show and tell slides and screenshare for our courses - yikes!

    Today I also got my first haircut since 2018 and it made things go a lot better!

    For the books, I LOVED a Gentleman in Moscow, and anything by Fredrik Backman. Most recently I read Anxious People and I think it's my favorite, so far.

    My book club also read the most weirdly beautiful book last year that I recommend if you like weirdly beautiful books - The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern(she wrote Night Circus) I'm reading a book now by someone I heard on a Podcast with Brene Brown - the book is The Body Is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love by Sonya Renee Taylor

    @annabananamc A well deserved haircut, for sure! Glad the show and tell went well!

    Thanks to all of the readers here that have posted book suggestions. I have taken notes. Right now I am reading books by Alafair Burke, but I am pretty close to having read all of the ones that my library has to offer. I don't like buying books, because I will not reread them, and then they just end up taking up space and collecting dust. I saw "The Guest List" recommended somewhere else, so that may be the first one I seek out after I am done what I am currently reading.

    This week has just been so nuts! I really hate that I let myself get so up and down with my eating. I really need to take back the control that I had before. Cuz lately I’ve felt so miserable and it’s probably due to the fact that I’m not trying as hard as I should be. Controlling binge eating is so hard. Especially when the urges are so high. Idk how many can relate to this, but I think it’s one of the reasons why my whole life I struggled with weight.
