Good morning!
Happy Monday! *grumble grumble*
Hope everybody had a great weekend. We had lovely weather for the most part. Got up to our local factory outlet stores yesterday and bought some new Nike running sneakers. Used them today and got a few little blisters on the back of my feet, but no pain, no gain, right?
Seriously @KateNkognito June and July both flew. Hope your weekend was nice. Hope you have a great first day of school!
Summer is quiet for me work wise. Lots of people on vacation and stuff so quiet. All good. Low key I like!
Have a great day and see you guys soon.0 -
It was a Monday. I got a fast in. Onward and downward. I must sleep now.1
-
Forgot to check in earlier today!
Happy Tuesday. Glad you had a good fast, Kate!
Good here. Got through week 2 of Couch to 5K and feeling excited!
See you soon. 1 -
Glad today wasn't a fast day. Tired doesn't go well with hungry.
Good job Meghan! Keep up the good work!
Off to bed. Talk to you all later!0 -
Good morning!
Thanks, @KateNkognito! No gym today since I went in to the office. Tomorrow we will see how we feel. The blisters on the back of my heels are healing thankfully. LOL
In other exciting news, our birdfeeder met its demise this morning. Sigh... Squirrels 1 - Us 0.
Off to find a new feeder. LOL
Have a good day and see you soon!0 -
@Meghan509 My husband finally gave into his nemisis and started setting out tomatoes that have big damage on them so the squirrel will stop climbing and breaking the vines. Squirrels are rats with good PR.1

Good morning!
Interesting, @KateNkognito I think you just helped solve my recent tomato mystery.
Somebody took one of my big tomatoes that was almost ripe, chewed it and left it. I was pretty mad... I went and bought some green netting and wrapped the whole garden up. So far that helped and it has helped save my basil from the bugs. Definitely a learning experience!
Cloudy day on tap here but Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are looking good. We have dinner plans with friends on Saturday night which should be fun. Looking forward to that.
Hope your week is going well. See you soon!0 -
Friday is here! WOO HOO!
Been a pretty quiet week, work wise which kinda makes the week drag, but that's okay. Happy to be healthy and employed.
Not much to report here. Been feeling a little under the weather with female stuff.
Looking forward to the weekend and nice weather. Hope you all have a good one. See you guys soon.0 -
Ok, y'all are my only group that I don't know in real life, so I am going to vent for a moment. I got a call last night that I was a close contact on Tuesday. I can't get the district covid line to call me back or answer their phone. I was supposed to be getting my room put together as we have open house Monday night. I am freaking out a bit. I know it will all work out, but I am going to be frazzled until it does. Also, I am both nauseous from stress and starving at the same time.
PS. I was wearing my mask and have zero symptoms, so I am not at all concerned that I actually have covid. Just stressed about the other stuff.1 -
I was able to go in yesterday afternoon. I took a teenage boy and we got bulletin boards covered and everything wiped down. The next two weeks I might drop off the face of the planet. For covid, I just have to wear a mask for two weeks and get tested on Monday and Tuesday.0
-
Good morning!
Oh jeez, @KateNkognito I am so sorry to hear about your close call with Covid. Ugh, sorry to hear it. Hope the tests today and tomorrow go well. Fingers crossed.
Hope the weekend was good otherwise. We had dinner with friends on Saturday night at a new restaurant. Really nice. Can't go wrong with steak.
Went to the gym today before work and had a tougher run for sure. Slowing increasing to more running and less walking. Today was week three day one. Phew.
Need to run out and buy a cucumber for our lunch salad, as ours went bad. Sigh... Sometimes vegetables and fruit can't be more patient and just wait for us to eat it. LOL
Thought of @mamainthekitchen yesterday as I see they are opening up the borders today between US and Canada.
Sending hugs and positive well wishes to you, Kate, and anyone else reading. Have a great day and see you guys soon.0 -
Good morning,
Hope all is well with you, @KateNkognito
Just got back from the gym. My knee is a little sore so I didn't run today with the Couch to 5K, I did some walking on an incline.
Looking forward to eating some more of our fresh tomatoes today with some mozzarella and fresh basil. We have A LOT of tomatoes and I am excited!
Have a good one and see you soon.0 -
Covid tests have been negative! I have been so busy the last couple of days and stressed and allergies. I haven't hardly eaten. I did start noticing last night that I need more water. I got a little woozy.
@Meghan509 Sometimes you need a rest day. Our tomatoes finally really started going. My son was able to start selling this last weekend.
I am off to bed. As of tomorrow (Wednesday) I have to start getting up every day at 5:30. Have a great week y'all! Stay healthy! 0 -
Good morning!
WOO HOO, that's what I like to hear @KateNkognito! Glad it worked out. Good luck with the early rise - you got this!
The tomatoes and basil last night with dinner, were "OFF THE HOOK"! LOL Will be eating more throughout the week. Looking forward to trying the bigger tomatoes too!
Went to the gym today and did my Week Three / Day Two of Couch to 5K. Used my new sneakers and reactivated my blister a little but no pain no gain! Tomorrow I am popping in to the office for a bit, so no AM gym trip. Yes, breaks are good.
Hope everybody has a great day and see you all soon. Hot here today! Stay cool all. 1 -
Survived the first day. Even my hair is tired. Good news is, I am losing weight.1
-
Good morning and happy Friday!
How did I forget to check in yesterday? LOL Crazy but productive day yesterday, here.
Glad day one went well, @KateNkognito way to go! Weight loss is good too. Congrats!
This weekend we are hosting my BF's parents. His birthday is Sunday, so we are looking forward to some birthday fun. Got a nice menu planned for tomorrow and Sunday. Going to be making this chicken dish (link below) for Sat. PM and hopefully if the weather cooperates, grilling it. Back up plan would be cooking it inside.

Hope you have a great weekend and I'll see you all soon.0 -
I survived! Not gonna lie, I slept about 12 hours last night. My students are all pretty good, but my last hour of the day is going to test me. A lot.
@Meghan509 Happy birthday to your fella! Have a great weekend!
I hope everyone else is having a great weekend! Stay healthy!1 -
Good morning all!
Thank you, @KateNkognito yesterday was a great day with nice weather and nice company! We were able to spend a lot of time outside Saturday and Sunday, it never rained!!
Need to get back on track this week with food and exercise. Sigh... Sometimes the reality of weight being a lifetime battle is daunting.
Hope you have a great day. See you all soon.0 -
Monday. Need I say more?
@Meghan509 Glad it was a good weekend!
Have a nice week, y'all! Stay healthy!0 -
Yep, another work (and school) day in the books. We survived Monday!
Went to the gym this morning which was nice. Finished Week Three, day 3 of my Couch to 5K app. Will see how I feel tomorrow, if my knee is not sore I plan on running again and starting Week Four, day 1.
Been finishing up some leftovers and eating stuff we don't typically eat regularly, but it just doesn't make sense to waste food. Looking forward to making some new recipes soon. The garlic marinated chicken that we made on the grill, came out wonderful Saturday night.
Also, the tomato sandwiches we have made from our garden tomatoes have been amazing!
Have a good one and see you all soon. 0 -
Good morning!
Hope your week is going well.
Did Week Four, day 1 of Couch to 5K and yowser! Kicked my butt a little. Rest day tomorrow and heading in to the office for a bit.
Hope everybody is good. See you soon.1 -
Happy Thursday!
Hope you are having a good week. Busy, busy, busy, here but all good.
Have a good one and see you soon.0 -
Happy Friday!
Proud of myself for getting to the gym this AM before work, on a Friday!! Been known to slack with exercise on Fridays. Just keeping it real is all.
Hope you have a nice weekend. We are expecting Hurricane Henri on Sunday here on the Northeastern, USA coast. Good times, good times. Keep your fingers crossed for us. 1 -
@Meghan509 Good job on getting to the gym! Will say a prayer for you, too!
This week was the longest month of school, ever! Plan on sleeping and doing lesson plans all weekend. Mostly sleeping.
Have a good weekend, everyone! Stay healthy!1 -
Good morning!
@KateNkognito thank you for the prayers, they worked! Southwestern CT did not get hit hard by the storm. We didn't have much wind (so far, still dealing with the storm) and no power outages. *knocks wood*
Just A LOT of rain. Still raining. No gym today. POURING. Tomorrow it is.
Weekend was good. Hope you had a nice break from school and got some rest.
Chat soon. 0 -
@Meghan509 I am glad you are doing well, so far! I hope it passes you soon.
It is Monday. Not so bad, actually. My husband is out of town, so the boys and I are getting carryout from a place he dislikes.
I hope everyone has a good weekend this week treats you right. Stay healthy!1 -
Good afternoon!
Not sure how it is almost 2pm Eastern. Where did the morning go?!
@KateNkognito thanks! We are feeling very grateful that we didn't have any issues with the storm. *phew* The sun is shining and the humidity is back again! That's okay by me. Typical August weather.
Too funny! Hope you enjoyed the take out.
Went to the gym this morning which was nice! No gym tomorrow as I go in to the office for a bit. Planning to go on Thursday and Friday AM's.
I have some yummy Chicken Tikka Masala cooking in the Instant Pot on slow cooker mode. Smells yummy!
Hope you have a good day and see you all soon. Yes, everybody stay healthy!0 -
Happy Wednesday!
My Chicken Tikka Masala came out nice. We had it with some lentils and some tomato and mozzarella salad.
Another crazy hot August day here. Nice to be in the air conditioning. LOL
Hope all is well. Have a good day.0 -
Where did the day go!? I can't believe it is 6:00 already! Today it rained and apparently that made all the children lose their minds. In other news, I am down a couple of pounds and I have been doing something like a 16:8 lately. I would like to get back to ADF, but it just isn't working for my life right now. That's what I love about fasting, there are so many ways to do it and get the benefits!
@Meghan509 Sounds like a yummy dinner! It is hot here this week, then supposed to cool off a bit. I am just glad that they turned down the AC and my classroom is no longer 80 (F)!
Going to go make dinner and such. Have a good one! Stay healthy!1
