Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a great day! Had to go to the storage office to get my unit. Ended up with a month free that I wouldn't have had doing it online. Had planned to take the bus but then walked all the way there and back. Only stops were at shops along the way that Mom and I use to frequent when I would take her for appointments. Informed the ones that she knew that she had passed. This was a little hard. Surpassed my step goal of 15,000 steps. I am so proud of myself for walking. It felt great. Mailed in my exam today and started my next lesson of chapters 3 & 4. Looking forward to learning so much. Didn't have a great lunch but it was so worth it to me. Salad for dinner. My friend is helping me move bins to storage tomorrow after work. I am so grateful she is back in my life when I need her the most. I hope I find a way to repay her kindness and friendship.0 -
Good evening,
Life has been busy, more than I thought it would this week. Yesterday, I took Mary to Missoula for her monthly shopping. That is always a long day! But I asked our minister to help carry the heavy stuff (kitty litter and big bags of cat food). It's something I can do, but it's very difficult! It was so nice!
I'm liking the outdoor walking. It might change next week. Forecast says more snow.
Today, I helped clean our church. I won't do it all by myself because it's a huge job. There was 4 of us today doing it. Many hands make light work. All of us were over the age of 65.
I'm happy that you got help moving things to storage. Extra hands made it easier. Great to have a free month, too!1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea that definitely was a busy time. I am so glad you had help when you needed it.
Today was a busy day. Studied, went grocery shopping, did a few chores, cleaned for my client and then moved some bins to storage. Still have room for more! But at least Dakoda has a place to sleep again for the weekend. Didn't get all planned workouts done but still got lots of movement.0 -
Good afternoon
The weather is gorgeous here. All the snow is completely gone, except for the snow plow piles. It's supposed to end on Monday or Tuesday. Snow is predicted. How much is a question. I've always said, February always brings a nasty surprise in the weather. We haven't had the nasty surprise, yet.
I'll be running a couple errands later this afternoon. I hope I'm successful with them.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a busy but productive day. Running late tonight as my Son is visiting this weekend and helped him do a puzzle before dinner. So glad that he comes to visit every other weekend now that Mom is gone. It causes issues with Hubby. But to bad for him. He has all the rest of the time to do whatever he wants which isn't much different than when my son is here.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Snow today! Movement, studying, preping dinner and snacks. Super Bowl Sunday! Calories may be high but that's ok. I made some healthier snacks. Also played cards and a little bit of video games. Love having my son here as he can be helpful most of the time. He is here till Tuesday. Extra long weekend for him so my sister and her boyfriend can have Valentine's Day without him.0 -
Good evening,
Neither of us are Football or Super Bowl fans, so we're not watching it.
After church this morning, we've spent a quiet afternoon mostly at home. I walked around town this afternoon. We still have nice weather.
Enjoy your visit with your son. Are you doing anything special tomorrow?1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a good day. Went to Mom's to get stuff ready for the move of the stuff being donated. Got some movement done. Hubby bought me roses and a card. It has been along time since he has bought me flowers and I love that's what he got me instead of chocolate although they would have be enjoyed as well. He said that he didn't get them because weigh day is tomorrow. I am excited to go to TOPS tomorrow but nervous as it is the first meeting since Mom has passed. I am not worried about the scale as it will be what it will be.

Good evening
Nice flowers!
We went out for dinner tonight. That's about all we did for Valentine's Day.
It started raining while we were eating. It's supposed to turn to snow later tonight. I'm not sure I'll be able to walk outside tomorrow.
I had another round with DirecTV this afternoon. They told me a couple weeks ago to call in a week if no one contacted me. Now I feel like I'm back to Square One again.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea I am so sorry about DirecTV problems. I hope you can get it worked out sooner than later.
Today turned out to be an emotionally tiring day. Went to TOPS thinking that it would be just like every other meeting. Boy was I wrong entered and everyone looked at me and I broke down. Got several hugs and kind words. Got on the scale and lost 3.05 lbs! Woohoo! Was highest loser since our last weigh-in in January! The rest of the meeting went well and had lots of laughs. Then met with my brother at Mom's to go over what is going where and to move more to my place. After that had lunch and did my exercise (had to force myself). Foods today have been all comfort/junk foods with little veggies. Tomorrow is a new day.0 -
Good evening
I took Mary to PT again. She's doing it again. She's trying to do once a week now. Both of us don't like PT 2 times a week. We'll see how it goes.
DirecTV called this morning. Because I terminated their service, they wanted to offer us another service. I told them NO and why. I also didn't want any service from DirecTV or AT&T ever. It is what it is!
Congratulations on your 3 lb loss! I do exercise even when I don't feel like it. It's usually less energy, but it's still doing it!
We got a little snow last night. I started a walk this morning, but turned back because of icy streets. The snow is melted now. We're supposed to get more tonight.
Tomorrow is our TOPS meeting.1 -
Good afternoon
I'm in early today because with church this evening, I won't have time to come in this evening.
I felt like canceling TOPS this morning. I just didn't want to go. We did have 2 inches of new snow, but it wasn't snowing when it was time to make a decision. With my bad attitude, I knew it wasn't bad enough to cancel. But I still just wanted to stay home and not go. I knew I would enjoy myself once I got there. The going was the hard part. It was a short meeting and it started to snow again, so we decided to quit early.
We still did the walking before the meeting, indoors, of course. Around and around and around. One one member lost and one member gained. The rest of us turtled. I was one of the turtles. At least I had company. lol1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Thanks Bea! I am glad that you decided not to cancel TOPS. A turtle is better than a gain. I have to be honest I have never not wanted to go to TOPS. I even wanted to go when we were in lockdowns.
Today was a great day! Asked Hubby this morning if he was ready for music. He said sure as long as it was CDs and not the radio. So I got out my muchdance ones and ended up doing some dancing to my favorite songs. Of course it wasn't tracked but that's ok. Felt so much better. Went with my Son to the doctor's and he is no longer prediabetic! His only issue is his vitamin D is a little to low. I told him that losing weight is what helped him. He was so happy. I hopr this helps his motivation to keep losing weight.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was another great day! I did 1 set of my usual workout that I haven't done in weeks. Felt so great to complete even just 1 set. Today's weather has be rain, sleet, and now snow. Got to love winter storms. Also was productive with studying and chores.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a very active day! Started by shoveling snow 1/2 ft - 1 ft (3 properties), then I did all my workouts including 2 sets of my core and lower body workout (no bands), after lunch I walked to work and cleaned for my client for about 1 1/2 hrs and then walked home. Also got some studying, laundry and dishes done. Now it's time to relax. Also my family had there third death this year. My grandfather's sister passed away the other day. I have many found memories from when I was young and we would visit them. As she lives so far away we most likely won't be able to attend the service. Tomorrow will be a fun day and am looking forward to sharing it with you tomorrow.0 -
Good evening
Sorry about your great aunt.
I guess I didn't make it n last night. I'm not sure why.
Today we went to Polson on an errand. It's 25 miles away. It made a nice drive. We ate lunch while we were out.
I've read that a Vitamin D supplement can lessen the symptoms of covid. We each take a vitamin D supplement now.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a great day! Morning of studying and working out. We decided to wait till tomorrow for our trip as the winds are high and chance of white outs. Afternoon was movie time. Dinner is left overs so enjoying my relaxation.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was another great day. Studied, and workouts done early. Then got ready to go to my cousin's. Also got my grade back from my first exam. 92%! Only got 2 wrong. Anyways went with my sister and her husband, as well as my son to see my cousin and his family. Got to meet and hold the newest member of the family. He is so tiny and cute. My son was that small but don't remember him being so tiny. We ate and chatted. We then played a game. Not many steps but that's ok.0 -
Good afternoon
Sounds like you had a really good day yesterday!
We woke up to 6 inches of snow and a big cool down. Temperature is down in the teens. It's supposed to drop down below 0 F. for the next few days. I spent half an hour shoveling. I'm ready for Spring!
We still headed to Missoula to stock up on things. We also bought a couple birthday gifts for our granddaughters. We're on the way home now.
I might come in later tonight.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Stay safe Bea!
Today was a busy day. Studied, went to mom's to try and get things ready for Wednesday's final big move and did laundry while I was there to use up the money on the laundry card. Also did some exercises but not my main workout as I had upset my lower back at Mom's. Also played cards (skipbo) with Hubby. Calories are better today. My friend called to update me on her husband who is in the hospital. He is not doing good and is on life support.0 -
Good evening,
We got home safely. Roads were better this afternoon than this morning.
I also got some good news. Our neighbor has been in the hospital on a ventilator (covid). She's still in the hospital, but off the ventilator. This is really good news! She has a special needs daughter that will never be able to take care of herself. She knows a few words and yells a lot. The yelling is her just making noise. The daughter is being taken care of by another neighbor.1 -
I started a couple "I predict..." It's all I could think of. If you can think of something else that would be sooner, that would be good too.1
-
Good Evening Everyone!
Thanks Bea for doing the I predict.... I completely forgot about it lol. So glad for the good news about your neighbor.
Rained on and off all day. Today is rest weigh and TOPS day. Gained 7.5 lbs🙄. I knew I was struggling but not that much. Oh well. Once I get everything back on track, finish dealing with Mom's stuff and find my new routine that works maybe I will reach that goal. Loaded up on veggies and fruit at the store between the rains.0 -
Good evening,
I took Mary to doctor appointment and PT this afternoon. Other than walking in circles in my house, I haven't done much today. Our temperature is still really cold. It was 3 degrees F. this morning. It's supposed to be colder tonight and tomorrow.
I saw Bernie this afternoon. I think she's having an episode with diverticulitis. She's not as chipper as she's been. Although she's not as bad as she thinks she is. But that's normal for Bernie.
Tomorrow morning, I'll go to TOPS.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea I am glad Bernie is doing well.
We had snow all morning. It was light so not a big deal. We had the final big push of Mom's stuff. I just have to finish cleaning and bringing all those supplies home and the rest of what's in the freezer. Hoping to get that done tomorrow. So far calories are in control and I am not feeling hungry. Hoping today is the turning point for me.0 -
Good evening,
I walked at TOPS this morning before the meeting. It was inside. Their parking lot looked good for walking, but it's very cold. It was -2 degrees F. this morning.
I turtled this morning.
Robert and I went to see Bernie this afternoon. She's about the same today as she was yesterday.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea great job with a🐢. I am hoping next week will be better for weigh in than Tuesday was for me.
Didn't make it to Mom's today. Concentrated on Me and my apartment today. Looks more like it will be on the weekend. We are supposed to get a snow storm tonight and have to work tomorrow unless she calls to cancel do to the snow. Also moving more to storage from my apartment. Hoping it's tomorrow but may not be till the weekend. I don't like not knowing what is happening when. To much in the air but trying to go with the flow. Also my Son is coming tomorrow for the weekend. Not sure where he will sleep if the stuff doesn't get moved tomorrow. Oh well we'll get creative I guess LoL.0 -
Good evening
I spent most of today at home. I did go to grocery store for a few things. It's warmed up but we got a little more snow. So it's still walking inside.
My lower back is acting up again. It's worse in the evening. That's probably because I take anti inflammatory drugs twice a day, morning when I first get up and again when I'm getting ready for bed. So it's wearing off by evening.1 -
Good afternoon
I'm not sure I'll have time to pop in this evening, so here I am now. I have a meeting late this afternoon and I'm not sure how long it'll last.
There isn't much else going on. It's warmed up, but the streets are still icy or snow packed. So it's still house walking. It's better than being a couch potato. But it's not quite the workout I get walking up and down hills.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a very productive and busy day! We have had snow on and off all day and is still going. Not a lot but enough to make everything beautiful again. Finished writing my second exam and mailed it in. Got my hard copy of my first exam. My friend messaged me this morning to say we could do the move today to storage. So spent the morning getting the stuff ready for the move and shoveled snow for 3 properties. After lunch went to clean for my client. Then moved the boxes to storage with my Son's help. Of course by the time I got back home from my clients my lower back was bothering me really bad. Still is and hoping it will be better tomorrow.0
