    "Get to do"s and "chose well"s
    Chose well: BP, dogs to powerline, T’ai Chi, Farmer’s Market, dog group,
    Bonus: quick stroll around Coast Guard docks while waiting for bbq.
    Get to do: take BP, dogs to powerline, review June council minutes, county ARP project proposals 111.co.curry.or.us/ figure out how to see what’s using all our mobile data, USE those torture bands/do that BB&B video, call S, fire district: drop off cookies, clarification of chief’s report, finish and email draft minutes/meeting announcement, ongoing: input 2019 call sheets into NFIRS, work with chief on equipment letter, substance abuse policy, NFIRS mutual aid and other missing details, ask for boots donator contact info, appreciation letter or certificate to boots donator, index mutual aid files; watch STAS Day 20, declutter sideboard, learn new dances (Nothing but You, Do Your Thing, A Little Less Broken, Blame it on my beating heart, Homesick; practice dances: One Margarita, I’m so used to being broke, All Night, Pure Movies to Wine, Beer, Whiskey, I ain’t never gonna love nobody but Cornell Crawford (Alley cat),); finish mulching flowerbed, invest another 10 minutes in prepping living trust, Freddie’s for complete series TDAP <$48, get Shingrix vaccine, find and configure a screen time popup, figure out where to plant the last of the naked lady bulbs, and soon as it warms up above 50 and dries out below 60% humidity I’ll tape and spray paint those rusted areas of Aunt Elsie’s stove, ask Terry about GB’s FD firetruck tax levy – contacts, media, advocate???, Reward: inventory seeds, plan this fall’s garden, wishlist replenishments (Milena F1 orange peppers and beit alpha cukes next year).
    Jump back July:
    7-Shift your mood by doing something you really enjoy: when learning our BBQ order would take 30 minutes, chose to stroll around the docks. Later missed an opportunity when Joe didn’t meet my expectation. Next time.
    8-Avoid saying “must” or “should” to yourself today: figure out what is not needed, substitute “get to” for what is.

    When will I learn to give without attaching any expectations? Brought Joe home BBQ from the Farmers’ Market. Succumbed to a bacon, lettuce, avocado sandwich from the same vendor, thinking we could sit and eat together. When I got home, Joe wasn’t hungry and stuck his food in the fridge for later. I was disappointed and grumpy, but ate the BLA anyway…

    Evelyn con VERY grats on the 13 miles!
    Katla one of the many things I love about Joe is that he has no desire to go out into the woods and kill something.
    Viv has your knee pain been diagnosed?
    Allie I remember Cousin It :laugh:
    Debbie (((hugs)))
    Julie “…soften the relation with guy one…” well done!
    Pip lights in the garage… oooh shiny!
    Welcome @candysashab88 ! 2-3 lbs in the right direction is a good month, sustainable.
    Kim in Ind ((hugs)) angst and stress are notorious “pounds up” culprits. ((hugs))
    Rebecca looks like the first part of your post got cut off?
    Michele would the local Loew’s or Home Depot be glad to have you cover the earliest shift? It seems to me that the big box stores need friendly, self-starting customer service on the floor, and most open early…

    Teenagers
    Joe and I did not have children, but fostered his 3 nephews for two years after their father was killed in a car accident and their mother could no longer cope. They were 13, 14 and 16 when we got them, and already struggling. We were not successful. We had never discussed philosophies of child rearing and were not just on different pages but in different libraries. I comfort myself with the fact that for two years the boys were fed, clothed, warm, sheltered, safe, had medical/dental attention and were kept in school as much as humanly possible. Now they are all grown men with their own children, all working and none in jail, thank Goodness. The youngest is the one we’re praying for, rare cancer complicated by severe diabetes. Miraculously the inoperable left side mass could not be seen on his last scan. Thanks be!

    Lighter, lovelies!

    Good morning all! Happy Thursday! Thank you for the anniversary wishes. Tim and I don't usually do anything big for our anniversary; but I was thinking that I might run into town and get him a wet burrito for dinner. Alas, at 5pm, he was asleep. So I made myself some soup (beef broth with veg and pico) and had a birthday brownie for dessert (four year olds birthday). I took a walk across the street after dinner and noticed the raspberries are in. I checked the milkweed, but didn't find a single caterpillar or Monarch egg! I am wondering if someone sprayed pesticide. :( I have only seen maybe five Monarch butterflies so far this year. Worrisome! Anyway, yesterday I DID get an impromptu head massage. lol ACTUALLY...two of my little girls woke up from nap with crazy matted hair, so I got out the detangler and brushed out and ponytailed their hair so that they look decent when moms picked up. The boys also wanted the "strawberry spray" on their hair, so we did their hair too. THEN, they all had to spray and brush my hair. With the exception of one little hair puller; it felt really good to sit and let them brush. I even had one little guy tell me that I "look Bootipull"! :p I had to shower last night because my hair was sticky from all of the detangler they sprayed on it. lol
    Pip- So nice to have extra lights in the garage!
    Sharon/Trucker- So good to see you back!

    Teens-I have long thought that rather than take a long maternity leave when your baby is born; parents should save it for their kid's teen years. >:)

    Well, kiddos arriving. ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

    Barbara- Mmmmm...bacon, lettuce, and avocado! Sounds perfect! Also, fostering teens with no "build up" experience! Holy Cow! You deserve an award for that! Teens are not easy when they are your own that you have known for their entire lives; much less in the situation you took on! <3

    Getting the new roof today. Very, very noisy. There are worse things, but kind of hard to string two thoughts together.

    Later, y'all,

    :)Kelly, Happy Anniversary. We don't usually do anything special for our anniversary but we acknowledge it with words.

    :)Allie, good luck with your son. He seems to be a teenager relying on his mommy to take care of him.

    :)Barbara, learning to lived without expectations is a huge challenge. Keep at it. It makes for a happier life.

    Kelly, now I have a bit of puppy fever. I don’t want a large dog either. My best bet would be a long haired dachshund or a mini corgi. I’ll have to watch the rescues around me, I guess. I’m glad you had a good visit with your friends. I like the natural long hair photo the best. It accentuates the right things about your face.

    JustkeepTrying, what a rotten thing to do. It’s unfair especially to coworkers who have to fill the unexpected gaps.

    Rebecca, did Oak Harbor do their usual fireworks?

    Pip! I’m so glad to see your usual stat-heavy posts. It somehow satisfies my heart to know someone else is as compulsive about a set of numbers as I am. I log every bite and sip when I’m on my game and go back and try to check every nutrient and value.

    Tracey in Edmonton, what is it with this group and unappreciative bosses? Seems we have another sort of pandemic on our hands. Or is it just that we became so needy that we’d accept that sort of treatment gladly for the attention, and now we’re waking up?

    Lisa in AR, hang in there. I’m no stranger to what you’re going through. Baby steps are still progress, even if we wobble from time to time. It’s when I’m feeling a waddle rather than a wobble that I know I’m headed into bad places.

    R in indiana, it’s funny how we get down on ourselves for what others would say is progress. Keep on doing the right thing as best you can. For me, I deduct NO exercise calories. That way the only thing I can get wrong is calories. I actually measure most of my food now and don’t go on guesstimates. I’m not good at them.

    Diane in Tenn, welcome. This IS a busy thread, but so many people here who have reached goal and are maintaining, and willing to share their experience, strength and hope.

    Sharon Near Seattle

    Thx. I don’t know why I do it, I think it’s interesting to see how high my max heart rate gets up to. I think 183 was the highest, I don’t remember what I was doing, I think it was when I started running again after a long break. I don’t remember thinking I was going to die cuz my hr got up so high but it also doesn’t mean to tell me how long it was that high. Every once in awhile we will pass someone and I will ask Kirby if I’m as thin as her just to see what others see when looking at me.

    Katla, im so glad you get to ride thanks to your good friend! Many of my local friends have horses and really miss their time with them when they’re busy. It’s not like a dog or cat who greets you when you get home. Most folks have them stabled somewhere else. I’d find that hard, like having a child away at camp or boarding school.

    Oh Rebecca! your food picture and ingredient list spark all my nom nom buttons!

    Liz in North Florida, first of all, I hope the nasty weather misses you! How does one find out they woke up in ketosis? I’m on a high protein food regime because I’ve had gastric bypass surgery. I have to be careful I don’t get to burning protein (muscle) instead of staying even or burning fats. I never am quite sure I’ve got enough protein percentage for my size. Knowing I was in ketosis would help.

    Pip, isn’t body dysmorphia a bear? I’m at my goal range of 135-155 ( I allow a 10lb swing from 145 either way), but still sit gingerly in those plastic chairs, I’m so sure they’d break. And I cover my lower belly area careful because I’m so sure I’m fat. I KNOW better, I just have trouble thinking better.

    ”Hi” to Erin from Northern California! glad to meet you. I’m near Seattle but love northern CA Eureka would be a place I’d really consider living if it weren’t too pricey. You’ve set some terrific guidelines for this month. Running should help those pounds melt - especially with no candy and no alcohol. Healthy snacks will help you stay on track. Think hummus and veggies or meat sticks.

    Snacker, is that a habit you have, or does it just describe your eating habit? The folks I know who eat 5-6 tiny meals (snacks to me!) seem to do quite well. I’m trying my best to emulate them for most of the day. Keep on posting so we get to know you.

    Michelle, by mahjong do you mean the tile matching game in various shapes or the actual game of mahjong as played by the women in Amy Tan’s books? I think I’d like to learn the real game, but I’d prefer to play the computer at first.

    Barbie in NW WA, it seems like we talk about so much besides food. Friends, spouses, co-workers, repairs, animals we share our lives here, and that’s what keeps it real for me. I’m so glad for your very acute analysis o things and your ever-so-logical solutions to problems.

    Barbie AHMOD, cougars scare me more too. I love my cats, but see in them the likeness to big cats every day. They are focused on the silent stalk and pounce to kill. Even in play-fighting with each other I see how it could be deadly in an instant. They have learned cat manners well from their mothers and know when to quit. Strangely, my orange tabby girl, who is almost exactly half the size of her Siamese sparring partner is the dominant cat. She was here first and makes sure Andromeda knows it.

    On a terrible fudge I binge. My philosophy today was “eat it up, then buy no more”, so it’s gone but so is any thought of ketosis or weight loss for today. Oh well. As Scarlet said, “Tomorrow’s another day!” I can’t take that attitude often, though. Just today.

    Sharon Near Seattle

    It is a weird thing. I think for as hard as I workout and walk and ride, I would think I would be lighter but I am constantly talking to myself, muscle weighs more than fat, blah blah blah. I’ve gotten to weigh myself first thing in the am along with after my workout for the day. I don’t eat or drink anything until after my workout for the day except for 2 cups of coffee in the morning. I guess I do intermittent fasting every day, lololol. I guess I want a true weight recording each time. The biggest weight difference I’ve seen was 4lbs from the am to after the workout on the same day…

    Good morning!
    I am enjoying reading the posts - such a motivating and supportive group. I look forward to getting to know you all better.

    This morning was the first morning run of my marathon training - 4 miles before work. I used to run a ton and it is kind of messing with my mind that 3-4 miles is a lot of work for me now. I can't compare the now-me to the previous-me, but sometimes it creeps in. I will keep working on it. I packed my food and planned my day and am working hard to set myself up for success.

    Have a wonderful day ladies!
    Erin

    Well done!

    I've got a 6.2 km run on August 1 and I need to get off my butt and start running! I did a 5K in late May and have run a bit since, but really need to make it a more regular part of my week.

    I've got my eye on longer runs as time goes by too. :)

    Machka in Oz

    I feel ya. I’m starting to run again too. Did a slow 5k yesterday. The moat I’ve done was 4 mi. Gotta ramp it up in pace and distance, the run will be here b4 u know it

    Just had Singing Zoom. I enjoyed it, but there were rather too many musical numbers for DH. I must say I enjoy bit of a performance! >:)

    Cleaner is coming to size up the house at 4 pm. Tidied up a bit. :*
