Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a topical spring day with some sun and showers on and off. It was chilly enough to wear my winter coat and mitts. Went with my Son to his orthodontics appointment. We now know the plan and cost for most of it. We now have to wait to talk to the surgeon as in about a year from now he needs to have surgery to correct his jaw. He is scared about the whole thing but he feels more comfortable about everything the more they talk to him about it. I told him that if need be he can recoup at my place. Also took him out for lunch afterwards. Ended up not working as I would have been late and my client choose to skip this week. Ran to the grocery store to grab a few things. Then went home to do my exercise. Tomorrow is looking to be a fun day.0 -
Good evening,
Yesterday I took Mary to Missoula for her monthly shopping. That takes most of the day. I enjoy the time with her. Her great grandson was not really sick. It's allergies.
I got a text last night by one of my cousins. Her, her sister, and another cousin are planning a trip to the Grand Canyon and taking 2 weeks starting May 9. They asked me to go along. Part of me wants to go and be included. We were really close as kids, but not so close as adults. I know I would love it, but I don't like the "going" part.
We've had a couple nice days, but the clouds are returning.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea I think you should go on the trip. You deserve a wonderful vacation.
Little bit of snow this morning on my way to the farmers market. Went with a couple of friends and then went out for breakfast. Had a good chat as well. Usually we hang out at her house and Hubby is usually there. Need girls time more often. Also exercised and played skipbo with Hubby.0 -
Good evening
It would be fun to have some cousin time. We haven't had much time together since we all grew up. I'm the only one that has a husband now. Janice is divorced and she never remarried. Both Linda and Dena are widows.
Except my walk this morning and a quick trip to the grocery store, I've been home all day. So it's been quiet. It snowed while I walked, but not enough to stick on the ground.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
It's always beautiful to walk when it's snowing as long as it's not to cold.
Today was a beautiful spring day. Got to wear a lighter jacket. Got lots of movement today. On top of my workouts and walk hubby and I played Wii sports and marched during the other person's turn. Did a little studying but need to get my study area cleaned. Studying in bed isn't working well as I start to fall asleep.0 -
Good afternoon
Yesterday was cold and windy. But the sun came out when I walked and it was nice. I even took my jacket off while I was walking. Then the last few blocks, the sun disappeared and it was back to cold and windy. I put my coat back on.
Today's walk was nice, not too cold. Just right! I also paid some bills this morning.
I'm also being more honest with myself. The scales is showing I'm now doing the right thing.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Keep up the great movement!
Today was a nice day temp wise. Lots of clouds and some rain. Got my walk in and seen that the *kitten* willows have popped. Not as much movement today as I do not want to over do the cardio that I am not used to. Also did some chores and played cards with Hubby. On to the rest of my night. Oh yeah got my hard copy of my fixed exam. My overall grade average is sitting at 96%.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was rest, weigh and TOPS day. Gained 2.75 lbs. Oh well guess I just have to keep trying each day to do my best. Hubby went to the mall with me today. That was our exercise. Nice and slow for him LoL. Got our friends birthday present, had lunch out and grabbed dinner for home. Also got stuff we needed. Wore Hubby out as he is now sleeping. Oh well quiet evening I guess. Back on track tomorrow. Getting my hair cut off and dyed for a change. Not sure what color I am going to do will have to wait and see. Also it's supposed to rain tomorrow morning but hoping it'll be over in time for my appointment as I take the bus.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a great day! Today was spoil me day. Studied and had breakfast. Then walked to the bus stop downtown to catch the bus to get my hair and eyebrows done. Got off a bus stop early and walked to the hair dressers. Enjoyed that time of pampering as I usually only get my hair done every couple of years so I can donate it. Once that was done I then walked several blocks to go to a bulk store and also went to buy a new bike. Have not ridden in about 15 years. Went really well riding it home and got home before the real rain started.

Good evening
I had a 2 pound loss in TOPS this morning! I was the Looser of the Week! We also had a no gain meeting. No turtles.
I got up really early this morning to do my regular walk, because I knew it was the only way I'd have time today.
We are at our son's house now. Our granddaughter is being inducted into the National Honor Society tonight. With TOPS, walking and traveling, it's been a busy day!1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Congrats Bea on your loss and being loser of the week! Congrats to your granddaughter as well.
Today was sunny but extremely windy. We have been under a wind warning. I am running extremely late today. Started out with waking up really early and not being able to get back to sleep. Studied, had breakfast, and exercised. Went with Hubby as he was having 2 teeth removed surgically and need me to accompany him home. Then went to get his prescriptions, ordered lunch. And started on the chores. Those got mostly done. Then went to our friends to visit and give here, her birthday gift. Didn't get home till late and still had to have dinner. Caved and ordered so that I could concentrate on tracking and checking in with my groups/teams. Will be a late night.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a great day! All planned workouts done. Even went for a bike ride and a small walk. Also got some things around the house done. Didn't end up going to work as my clients niece tested positive with COVID and they had been together. Son is here for the weekend. Still have to make 2 batches of hotcross buns tomorrow. Also going to the farmers market in the morning.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a beautiful sunny spring day. Although cold this morning. It's been a very crazy busy day. Started the first batch of hotcross buns. Went to the farmers market with my Son, then went to the grocery store. Came home and finished the first batch and did the second batch. As the first batch didn't turn out as I messed up and then burnt them some so had to make a third batch. So I had run back to the store to pick up more supplies. Took my bike that time. Came home and completed my last batch of hotcross buns and of course those turned out the best. It was my first year making them with out Mom. I am happy with how well they turned out. Late afternoon I went to help a neighbor with some typing. Finally getting time to rest. All other exercise is non-existent today.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Easter was great and busy. Today was another busy day doing 5 tax returns. It snowed today. Got some exercise in the morning. Tomorrow will be another busy day. TOPS in the morning and a meeting in the evening. Probably won't have time to check in.0 -
Good afternoon
We had a great time while we were gone. I also ate really well, except on Easter. I pigged out on chocolate! I had way too much! But I was back on track on Monday. I actually lost weight while we were gone. I must say, it's all about attitude!
I was back outside walking this morning. I really enjoyed it.
Here is the difference between a habit and a lifestyle: I'm going to talk about walking. When I started walking, I did it only because I was told to. Eventually, it became a habit. I kept doing it. But life happens (winter, sickness, surgery, etc.) that prevented walking. Habit gone! Then I had to develop that habit again. That was hard! Here is the difference, when that habit develops into a lifestyle, then when life happens and you can't walk, you really look forward to get back walking again. It'll be hard breaking this lifestyle!1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea glad you had a great Easter! Walking is a lifestyle for me as I miss walking and always look forward to doing it.
Yesterday we got maybe a half inch of snow if we're lucky. Today we have had lake affect snow on and off but nothing sticking. Looking forward to nicer weather so I can get the bike out. Today was rest, weigh and TOPS Day 🔻.25 lb! YES I CAN! Granted after how much I ate at Easter I am giving all the credit to my hair cut🤣. We had a great meeting about inspirational quotes. The one I got says "Success is what comes after you stop making excuses!" Still have my meeting to go to tonight. But made time to check in.0 -
I have TOPS tomorrow morning. Great for your weight loss!
At our son's house, the got 4 inches of snow on Saturday and 1 inch on Easter. All of it melted in the mornings.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Got lots of exercise today. Walks were small and not tracked. Step-ups not tracked as well. Got some dishes done and some laundry. COVID seems to be going through our TOPS group. I am a little nervous about possibly catching it but don't want it to control my life or live in fear. I will continue to do what I can to stay as safe as possible.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Sleeping was rough last night. Woke up sick this morning. Sore throat, headache and stuffy nose. Feeling foggy. Rain in the morning but a beautiful afternoon. Wishing I could go for a walk but playing it safe and quarantined. Hoping I feel better sooner than later. Still got all my indoor workouts done. Just did them slower and with longer breaks inbetween. Made a deal with myself that I would do only what I could handle from each workout. Turned out to be all of it. Planning to go to bed early tonight to see if that helps too. I was supposed to make veggie stir-fry tonight but no energy for that so we are ordering who know what. Please stay safe and mask when possible.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Last night ended up eatting a whole medium pizza by myself for dinner. I have never done that before. I even had a soup bowl of spinach ceasar salad. Today trying to keep the food under control but not really working. I don't know what I have but it seems to be hungry. I felt a little better today but not much. Completed all indoor workouts so am not stressing about what I am eating right now. It is what it is. Got almost 8 hrs of sleep last night as I went to bed early and set my alarm for an hour later. Doesn't make sense to get up at my usual time when I am sick and not studying.0 -
Good evening!
I hope you're feeling better soon! I hope it's not covid.
I caught the grandkid's cold. It seems to be a mild one. Sore throat for a day and runny nose for now. I hope this is as bad at it gets. No problem with sleeping.
I lost half a pound at TOPS on Wednesday. Tomorrow I'm going to a TOPS Spring Rally. This is the closest rally we've had, less than 40 miles.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Great Job on the loss Bea.
Beautiful summer like day. I am happy to report that today I am feeling better. But still not up to snuff. So proud of myself for continuing to complete my indoor workouts while being sick. But I am done with being sick. I want to be able to go out for a walk. So far food in has been lower than the last couple days which is a good sign as well.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a beautiful summer like day. Feeling so much better today! Just need to get rid of the cough completely. My day was very productive and still feeling energized. I am listening to my body each day all day. Normally I would have just made excuses to sit around while sick even when I didn't need to. Not this time! I HAVE THE POWER! 😂0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Still having sinus and cough issues. It's been more like Spring today with cooler temps and rain all day. Had a productive day! Organized my cupboards I have been planning to do for a week. Also organized on top of the fridge. Also washed down countertops and stovetop. Workouts and step-ups done as well. Feeling stronger each day. Soon it will be time to hit the books again. Maybe Wednesday. Not going to TOPS tomorrow as I am still sick. Will be weighing at home this week. Not going to stress about the number for multiple reasons. But mainly it's a different scale. Have been watching a Robin for several days. It's definitely determined. It continues to try and make a nest but has had no success. It has tried 2 different spots on the house next door. But just can't seem to get anything to stay long enough.0 -
Good evening!
TOPS rally was really good on Saturday. We'll be talking about it on Wednesday at the TOPS meeting. We'll probably be making some changes. Sometimes change is good!
Today I feel like I spent a lot on the phone. When I'm on the phone, I walk. I still walked this morning. Between the two, I got a lot of steps in.
It got up to 71 degrees today. That's the warmest it's been this year.

Good Evening Everyone!
Bea I am glad the rally went so well. What was the main thing you learned?
Today has been cloudy. Also was my rest and weigh day. Gained 4.65 lbs 🙄. Oh well it is what it is. I know what's causing it so just need to get more serious about my calories and other things. Did some marching, step-ups, and a core workout to get some movement today. Time to start cracking down on my food intake and make way better choices. I have done it for multiple years and there's no reason not to now. I CAN DO IT!0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was cold and cloudy to start now the sun has come out. Went for a walk as I had to go to the bank and grab some groceries. I learned very quickly to wear my mask even when outdoors to help protect my lungs from the chilly air. But I still enjoyed being outside. Ended up bringing a cab home as I bought more than I could carry. Calories are really high as we ate fast food for lunch. I really need to be strong about my food plan or I will continue in the wrong direction. Started studying for my food handlers course as I need to have the test taken asap. This puts my school studies on hold but that's ok. There is no time limit on that except the one I put on myself. My client called today to see how I am as everyone was asking about me at TOPS and she wanted to know if I would be coming to clean on Friday. I told her I am doing better and I would let her know tomorrow if I will be there on Friday.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Sunny but chilly today. Studied for my food handlers course, worked out, and played cards with Hubby. Also did a few chores. Tomorrow will be a busy day as it is the end of the month.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a beautiful sunny spring day. Went for a walk to run errands. Hubby took a cab. I beat him there and I took the longer way along the river. Anyways other than a little bit more of exercise it was more of a rest and study day. My core is a little sore so taking it easy. I hope we don't skip straight to summer but I don't mind if it does. Gives me a reason to look forward to winter. I planed my meals mostly well today with to meals being take out. I will still be in range. Son messaged me and told me he was coming tonight after work but then messaged me that he was not as they have to work tomorrow. So now he isn't coming at all. Oh well plans with him will have to wait. Work and rest come first for him.0 -
Good evening,
I meant to say something before I left for our church's women's retreat. There was women from all over Montana and a few from beyond Montana. I got to see old friends and that was nice
The TOPS Spring Rally was mostly about our chapter meetings and the upcoming chapter leadership election. We'll be changing the order of our meetings and eliminating parts we've been doing. We might be doing more discussions. We really do need to change around a few positions.
A week from Monday, I'll be going on vacation with my cousins. I'm looking forward for it.1
