Good Evening Everyone!
Bea so glad you're home safe and sound!
Today has been a great day! We did have a thunderstorm during mid morning. Had multiple walks and did some of my exercise. My brother dropped my Son off after work. Played cards, visited with friends, and had takeout. Not the healthiest choice but a decent price. Ended up over on my calories. Also got my 4th booster.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a day of walks, rain and cleaning. My arm is still sore from my 4th shot yesterday. Also watched movies with Hubby. Son wanted to go home today but my sister told him no because they wouldn't be home till tomorrow. He wasn't happy about that but oh well. Tomorrow I will be mowing my neighbors lawn for him.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been cold and cloudy all day. Tried to go for a walk this morning. But was just to cold for me to do my whole walk. Got the neighbors lawn mowed but still need to weed wack as the battery wasn't charged. Arm still tender when moved wrong. So stuck to some light cleaning and playing cards. Tomorrow is scale day. Not sure how I did but do know that I tried. Tomorrow I am also going to get a good bathing suit. My nephew's birthday is next weekend and the pool is open!
Here's a picture of 3 Canadian geese families I took yesterday. I figured there was close to 30 babies.

Good evening
I think this is the first day I wasn't totally exhausted. I saw a doctor about my neck today. I'll be getting a steroid injection on June 1. I hope that gives me relief.
Before my appointment, I dug up my flower boxes. I'll probably do some planting tomorrow.1 -
I forgot to mention, like your geese picture!1

Good evening,
I slept in this morning. While I showered, I charged my fitbit. Then I walked and forgot to put my fitbit on. I walked half a mile without it. I ended up walking further than usual to make up for it.
Another SP person that is here told me that PeopleOne Health (the new SparkPeople) is more like the old SparkPeople. I'm not sure I want to go back to it. I was really sucked into it and spent way too much time in SP. I don't miss that. Also the calorie counter is better here on MyFitnessPal. What do you think?1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
This morning after my shower I forgot to put my Fitbit back on and didn't notice until I got to TOPS. I felt lost without it till I got home. As I am not in the states I can't use the new Spark site. I have heard lots of good and bad about it on the Facebook groups. All I can say is do what works best for you. We're all different and need different things.
Today was a slight disappointment on the scale. Gained 2.5 lbs. 🙄 Had a great TOPS meeting today otherwise today. Also went out for lunch and went bathing suit shopping found something I really like and feel secure in. Also went to Walmart and bought some plants, a birthday present for my nephew, and a few other things. Hubby decided we were ordering dinner out. Neighbor gave me some hostas today so planted them as soon as I got home. Calories are over. Arm is still tender but hoping can get my workouts done with little discomfort tomorrow.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a little cool and some rain. Got all my exercise done! Haven't done that in a week or so. Also got some more plants planted in pots. Did laundry and played some cards. Not sure what all is planned for me tomorrow but I plan to have another great day!0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been rain on and off all day with bits of sun worked in. My walk this morning was partly in a rain shower. Completed all my workouts for the second day in a row! I am trying not to get to excited so that I keep the streak going. Did some laundry and got the dishes finally caught up. Got my sports Fitbit band in the mail today. Bought the wrong size but will still work. The color is frosted lilacs. Tomorrow I get to go to work and clean. Didn't go last week as she was not home.0 -
Good evening,
I planned to post yesterday, but didn't get to it. It rained all day. At TOPS, I had a pound loss and was Loser of the Week. . We made plans for SRD that is coming up in a couple weeks.
Today, I helped organizing for a church yard sale. All proceeds are to help kids go to church camp. Tomorrow, I'll help with the yard sale after I take Mary to a doctor appointment.1 -
Another thought, I'm not liking the new MyFitnessPal.1
-
Good Evening Everyone!
I don't notice the difference as I mainly use the app. But also use my phone internet for the site. Congrats on your loss!
Today started mostly cloudy but the sun started coming out. Day 3 of all my workouts completed! Cleaned for my client and also reorganized the bedroom to fit in the freezer. Need to get the a/c as next week will be in the 30°Cs and will feel like the 40°Cs. Feeling tired so glad dinner is easy tonight.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a busy but great day. Mostly sunny and comfortable. Got all my workouts done. Walked to and from the farmers market and also went to my cousin's graduation party. We went to Swiss Chalet for dinner. Not over in calories like I thought I would have been. But also didn't make the best choices. Tomorrow is my nephew's birthday party. Hoping to make better choices but it's hard to say. I can't pass up cake.0 -
Good evening
I spent the last couple days with our church's yard sale. All proceeds goes to help kids go to church camp. We made about $1,800 which will help about 18-20 kids (depending on the age) go to camp. There is still a lot of stuff left over. A man in our church decided to do it again next week. We'll see how that goes.
Today, I'm tired and sore (arthritis). I'll be glad when the weather straightens up and we have summer. I've been taking it easy today. On Wednesday, I get the steroid injection in my neck. I hope that helps.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea that's awesome! I am so glad you are able to help so many. I hope it goes well next weekend as well. Hope the pain eases soon.
Quick stop in it's already past my bedtime again tonight. But always have to checking with all my groups before I go to bed. Today was my nephew's birthday party. Got all my workouts done early. Went swimming at the party. It was a little cold but felt great. Very happy how well my bathing suit did. The booty shorts not so much. But that might just be a self-confidence thing. Over ate but also didn't have any ice cream and only one cupcake. Where as before my journey started over 3 years ago I would have had 2 cupcakes and ice cream. Got to do a lot of baby bouncing as well as my cousin's 5 month old was there and he loves to be moving constantly.

Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a hot one with a high humidity. My neighbor offered to take me to get my A/C out of storage. So we did that before my Son's appointment. Definitely feeling the difference. This morning I woke up feeling off. Went for my walk and decided my body wanted a rest day so no workouts. My mind kept saying I needed to workout. So I compromised and weed wacked and mowed the front lawn and swept the front sidewalks of grass. Will be interesting what the scale shows tomorrow.0 -
Good afternoon
It's still in the 60s here. But at least it's mostly clear. Tomorrow morning, I have TOPS, then I go to Missoula for that injection in my neck. Before hand, no breakfast and no drinking anything. I usually drink my coffee at TOPS. Guess I won't tomorrow. All I'm allowed is a little water for the prescription medication I normally take.
You're brave having a picture of you in a swimsuit! You look great!1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea I hope all goes well with TOPS and your appointment. Thanks for the compliment. As I have gone through my journey and really started noticing the difference I have enjoyed having photos taken so I can see what I truly look like.
Today was another hot one! A cold front is supposed to be coming through tonight or tomorrow. That will be nice. The scale was not kind again this week. Trying not to get frustrated with this new ugly unhealthy trend. I know what the issue is and am struggling with it. I know I can do it as I was doing it before.0 -
Good evening,
TOPS went well. Half pound loss.
I could have no food or drink (a small sip or 2 for medication) before the injection. I had the injection at 1PM this afternoon. So all my eating times were all messed up. I'm really tired and have been since the injection. Pain level is better, but it can take up to 2 weeks to get full benefits.
They asked if I wanted light sedation (thats why there was the fasting). I said to try it without. I did fine without it. It was really uncomfortable, but not really painful.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Congrats on your loss! Hope you feel better soon!
I do stretch before my walking. This is a quick check-in as I am off to a BBQ at my friend's. Not much exercise today but enough walking. Made potato salad loaded with veggies. Got other things done that needed doing so an all-round good day.0 -
Good evening
I'm doing better, but I have a light headache. I called doctor office about it. They gave me a few suggestions and to call back tomorrow. So now I'm laying flat on my back to see if that helps. If headache returns when I stand, then I might have to have another procedure. Ugh!
The worst of it is I'm supposed to take Mary to Missoula tomorrow. We'll see what happens.
For the most part, I did my usual things today. The headache didn't start until this afternoon. The neck is better today, though.1 -
I hope you enjoy your BBQ. Your potato salad sounds delicious!1
-
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea I am glad you're feeling better in some respects. Hope it all works itself out.
The veggies I added to the potato salad was celery, carrots, onion, chives and radishes. The boys wanted cheese and bacon so I added it as well. Normally I don't. It was a hit!
Today was a good day all around. Ended up going with a friend to Canadian Tire. Needed to get a new weed wacker. Found one that also comes with a blower and was on sale for under $150. It's Black n Decker and battery operated! So that threw off my my day and plans. But still had a great time. Also did some creeping charlie weeding as well.0 -
Good evening
Today was a bust! I waited for a phone call all day. I'm discouraged about it. I left a message this morning at 8:30. It wasn't returned until this afternoon. They called my home phone, but said to call you cellphone. So nothing was done.1 -
Good evening,
I'm doing better today. But just tired. I've been taking it easy today. I even napped this afternoon.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I wish I could take afternoon naps.
Today was a busy great day! Went for my morning walk, mowed the back lawn, and helped my friend with her gazebo. We also went to the rib fest. First time going. Really expensive but good.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
The ribs were awesome! Today went for a walk, did some chores and visited my friend. Also did some work on the computer that needs to get done. I have come to the realization that I am over stressing about stuff. I have decided not to worry about my workouts and mainly aim for one walk a day. Anything else will be extra. Once I get all my paperwork done I will get back on track in a more organized way.0 -
Good evening
Robert has a cold, so he missed church this morning. This afternoon was a quiet day at home.
I usually don't take time for a nap. I was just so tired yesterday.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I hope he feels better soon. It's always good to listen to your body.
I have decided that for a little while I will just do what I feel is the most important things that need to be done. Today was the first day and I went for a walk and concentrated on get stuff on the computer done. I actually completed the first part of one task and worked on studying for the food handlers course. I also went to the bank and shopping. Got a new out fit for jury selection as I don't really have many summer dress clothes. Received a call this afternoon from the courts. Jury selection has been cancelled. Not sure I will be going to TOPS tomorrow as my ride has not returned my call. For the most part I feel more relaxed today. I have a sore left side of my mouth which is also causing a headache. Unfortunately can't get in until Thursday. The good thing is Hubby still had pain killers from his tooth issues.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I am still in a lot of pain when the meds wear off. May have to go to the walk in clinic to check for infection tomorrow. Scale at home had a dead battery so walked to get one. The scale was not happy with me at all this week. But as I am taking somewhat of a break I am try not to stress about it. Got more paperwork done. Had a great visit with some friends and brought them chocolate chip cookies.0
