Good Evening Everyone!
I am not really under the weather. I think my body just said STOP you're trying to do to much at once. So I am concentrating on things that have been causing me stress that needs to be done. While I am on this somewhat break I am taking time to find my why and my motivation. Once I figure that out I will find my new path and be on fire.
My hip and knee have been good most of the time. I just do my best to walk through it as I know it actually helps it feel better.
Today was a nice day. Went to the clinic to get antibiotics and pain killers for my tooth issue. He couldn't tell where the issue was but knew by Monday when they open again I would have been in trouble. Enjoyed my short bike ride and my morning walk. Pulled some more creeping charlie as well today. Every time I mark a project off that has been needing done it feels like a weight has been lifted. Hope you enjoy my picture of my zucchini plant.

Good evening
It's been a busy week. Our TOPS chapter is going to SRD tomorrow. I've been working to get things together and things didn't go as planned this week.
I'm glad you got the antibiotics that you need. Toothaches are very painful! Then with all the other aches and pains of getting older isn't a lot of fun. Take care!
I'll write more after SRD.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Enjoy SRD! See ya when you get back.
Today was a beautiful day. We even got some evening rain with rainbows 🌈🌈.Cleaned some of my kitchen. Got my new shelf today and got it put together and put in its spot. It looks soooo much better. Went to the dentist found out I have a cavity and my tooth with the root canal is normal as there was some nerve left. Have to wait till next Thursday to get the cavity fixed. Ran a couple of errands and visited with my friend for several hours. Can't wait for tomorrow. IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!🎉 My goal for my next birthday is to be at goal. Same goal as the last 2 years but that's ok. One of these times I will reach that goal.

Good Evening Everyone!
Today started out good the got rough for a bit. In the end it was a great day. Got lots of gifts. Clothes, Tim Hortons gift card, cash, Madagascar kartz wii game and more to come. Oh yeah also got bottle of wine and a chocolate bar. Tomorrow we are going to continue celebrating with a BBQ at our friends. The cards I got from my Son and Hubby were so wonderful.0 -
Good afternoon
Happy birthday! I hope your day was special, at least as special as you are! I love your pictures!
SRD was great! Although some of the ceremonies were really long. I was elected by our chapter for the chapter angel. That was a nice surprise.
I wasn't impressed with the banquet on Friday evening. It was very expensive ($28.50), skimpy, low protein, high caloric, and not filling. It tasted good, but....
Out of curiosity, what do you call your SRD? I know that Canada doesn't have states, like we do. PRD ?0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Thanks for all the Birthday wishes! Had a great weekend partying and am sure the scale will still be very unhappy with me. But on the positive side I had over 20,000 steps each day.
Yes they are PRD's here in Canada. I have never been to one. Glad you had a great time over all.
Today has been a great busy day. Walk, neighbors lawn, some gardening, laundry and dishes done. Also played a couple games of Skipbo with Hubby. Hope to get a great night sleep.0 -
Good evening,
Is another rainy day, a little cooler today. There is fresh snow in the mountains, about half way down. Grrr!
Have you ever been to a TOPS rally or workshop. You really start to get yo know other members from other chapters. I was even recognized by several people from chapters mostly in western Montana. I still visited with members from all over the state. It's kind of fun!
Tomorrow morning is TOPS. It's going to be just a weigh in. It'll be quick. We'll probably still do the walking.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I have gone to one rally. COVID has put everything on zoom since then.
Today has been a scorcher with a high of 35°C and feeling like 45°C with humidity. Supposed to be like that for a couple more days. Got my walk and a wonderful bike ride in early this morning. Have been doing chores around the house to stay cool and productive. This morning was real foggy. Got a letter from Hubby's disability. Time for me to get back into the work field. I have not worked officially in 20 years. Think I should do the training options first and go from there. Will see what the worker has to say when I call them next month after I get the next set of info. Unfortunately as my studies are not full time I must do more to make them happy.

Good evening
I had a follow-up appointment for the injection I got 2 weeks ago. My neck is better, but still painful. So the doctor did 3-4 injections into the muscle on my neck which I still very tight. We'll see how that helps. She did say that it usually needs a second time. So I have an appointment on August 2.
I lost a pound at TOPS this morning. I'm happy with that.
Tomorrow is Noah's 18th birthday. That's our oldest grandson. We'll be traveling to our son's tomorrow.. They plan to celebrate it on Saturday. We'll come home on Sunday or Saturday.
I hope all goes well for you.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea congrats on your loss at TOPS! Have a great time with family for your grandson's birthday.
Today started out very hot and humid. My walk was a little slower than usual and opted out of a bike ride after my walk. A storm rolled through with thundies. Luckily it was done before I had to go to get my cavity filled. Also went to the grocery store and then walked home. It's still hot and humid but not as bad. Tomorrow is supposed to be cooler.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a very active day. Went for walks equalling about 10.5 km. Also went for a bike ride and added a few stores in my trip equalling about 18.2 km. I am tired but in a good way. Also went to work and cleaned for an hour in the afternoon. Then went and visited my friend. Great day all around! Also cooler.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been cool, sunny and pretty breezy. Went for my early morning walk, farmers market with my friend and my bike ride. The bike ride was tough do to the wind but never stopped for a break outside of stop lights and walking up the steep hills I am unable to bike up. I also watered my plants, did laundry, decluttering and played on the Wii for a little.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was more of a rest day. But did get my walk done. This week is going to be hot. Went my friends and she asked me if I truly wanted to work for her. She told me I wouldn't have to start till September as she know I have many commitments before then. Time to start figuring out how to make everything work so I don't gain all the weight I have lost. Lots to do before I leave on the weekend. Will be out of town for about a week.0 -
Good afternoon!
We had a good time! Friday and Saturday the temperature was high 80s and 90 degrees. I enjoyed the warm temperatures. On Saturday, too much cake and ice cream, but it tasted good! The important part is, now I'm back on
track.
We did a little hiking on Saturday afternoon. It was fun. I got winded. But that was good. It was mostly up hill. We also ent to a performance of Shakespeare in the Park on Friday evening. . It was King Lear. It was good but hard to understand, though in some parts.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Sounds like a great time!
Today started out rainy so didn't get my walk done. Then my back started hurting and the heat kicked in. So it ended up more of a rest day. Did some step-ups but not many. Also played some Wii with Hubby and made some phone calls. Still lots to do. Oh well I seem to work better under pressure.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Guess who is the new co-leader of their TOPS group!
🌞🌡️. Today is a hot one. Also rest, weigh and TOPS day. Down 1.75 lbs! Was so glad that happened. Slowly getting things taken care of. I am such a procrastinator.0 -
Good evening!
Congratulations on being the new co-leader! I'm sure you'll be a great help.
At TOPS this morning, it as decided I'm to continue being the leader. I'm ok with it. I was told be the other leaders that I've been a good leader. That made me feel good.
I gained a pound. Ugh! I seam to be in pattern of lose a pound, gain a pound, lose a pound..... I have to look to see what I'm doing.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I hope to live up to my job. Multiple members have expressed how good I would be. Our new leader has only been with us since we have been back from COVID. But I know he will be a great leader as he has been inspiring us.
It sounds like you're in a maintenance hold. I have been told that many who experience this usually put there body into a sort of shock. Such as change in exercise. Another is to reevaluate whether your calorie range needs to be adjusted.
Another hot busy day. Got quite a bit done today. But lots to still do before leaving. My walk today was very slow do to the heat. But that's ok. Tomorrow I will finish the main packing so I am ready to go. I am shocked at how many clothes I can pack into a small suitcase. Anyways need to get read for bed soon. Running late tonight.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a productive day. I am completely packed except for the last minute things. Still not sure when exactly I am leaving lol. But at least I am ready. Not sure how my plants will look by the time I get back. Hubby hates watering my plants. Got my letter in the mail to contact my worker for an appointment. I only have a week to make the appointment so will do it next week. I am hoping they don't try to make the appointment while I am out of town as that just won't work.0 -
Good afternoon,
I got 20 min to kill while Mary is in the dentist. So I thought I could come in here now. I wish we had more active members. It would help if we got notificationwhen someone posted in here. I've had other previous SP members try to talk me into going to the new SP (it has a different name now). But it's only available in the US and I don't feel right about abandoning you. Besides that, I was spending way too much time in the old SP. I'm not sure I want to try the new SP.
Now it's good evening
Mary's appointment was shorter than expected, so I quickly saved my post to finish now.
It's another beautiful day! It's in the 80s. I now can walk early in the morning without a jacket or sweater. I bought some flowers for my flower boxes yesterday and got them planted this morning.

Good afternoon
Today is nicer than yesterday. Yesterday. It was in the 50s and a few light showers. Today it's 65, with time to get in the 70s and it's mostly clear.
I got Robert walking again for the summer. We aren't up to a mile yet. Robert is willing to go further each day. I'm still walking 2.5 miles to 3 miles early morning. Today I've mostly puttered around the house.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
If you would like to give the new Spark a try please feel free.
It's not hard for me to enjoy my vacations when and wherever they are. Today I took a very long walk compared to my normal walks. Seen lots of interesting things. The photo is on the trail I took for a bit when I started heading back. My cousin thought I was crazy when I told here where I walked and how long it took me. Also got to see bunnies, Cardinals and other small birds. Also went with my cousin on some errands and to pick up her grandson. When we got back we all loaded into "Papa's vroom" lol and went to move large stones from a friend's house to theirs. Got to fallow the little guy around for about before he was tired of me. Now I am sitting and posting all for the day.

Good evening
To tell you the truth, I'm not really interested in the new SP. I kind of got burned out by the old SP. I don't want to dig myself in that deep again.
That looks like a nice place for a walk. MyFitnessPal won't let me post pictures. Maybe I'll try again. They've made some changes here. Maybe that was changed.1 -
Good afternoon
We went out to lunch today after church. The owner of the restaurant gave us a free lunch for our anniversary. That was a total surprise! It was sweet!
The rest of the day was here at home. Calories are a little higher than I like but still within the calorie range.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Happy Anniversary!
Today is another late one. We had to take the little munchkin home so we went to A&W for dinner. We all hung out and had a great time. Also got to see the little munchkins "baby"(little brother). Also had some great walks, took some time to study and also had to do some cleaning ready for baking this week which starts tomorrow. We are baking from 9 am - 3 pm. Such a busy week. Here is a pick of little munchkin in a tree during fellowship after the church service.

Good evening,
Cute kid! Great picture!
Its a good thing I like early morning for my walks. It got up to the high 80s today. It's finally summer here! Robert and I walked a whole mile this afternoon for the first time this year. It's a leisurely walk with him, nothing like my walk in the mornings. But even at a leisure pace, it was hot.
Robert grilled some burgers for us for supper. Nice for a change.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Glad you're getting summer finally. We bounce between summer and fall temps. Either that or I am just finding the cooler temps colder than I use to. Maybe it's because I am now 41 and old LoL.
This is a quick stop in as I am so busy and tired. Baking is for the local fair on Labour Day weekend. I am part of the board and we have a booth that the funds support our scholarships. Day one is in the bag but not with lots of issues. Mom was definitely missed as she kept the tart shell rollers on track. Oh well another learning curve underway as well as another first since Mom passed.0 -
Good evening,
It's a busy time of the summer! We have a holiday weekend and we're going camping with our kids and grandkids. We may or may not have cellphone coverage. We should have nice weather. It was in the high 80s today.
I'll make a rhubarb dump cake. I like making it, but only make it when other people help eat it.
Tomorrow is TOPS. Afterwards we'll go to Missoula to buy camping supplies.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I love camping but have not been in about 20 years.
Today has been a stressful but productive baking session. Lot's of movement. Hoping tomorrow is a little more relaxed. According to my cousin's scale I lost 0.7 lbs. Woohoo I'll take it!0 -
Good evening.
At TOPS this morning, I tied for Loser of the Week, with only half pound loss! I can't complain.
We got camping supplied in Missoula today. I bought a rotisserie chicken at Costco. We had that for dinner tonight. The rest I'll de-bone and take camping. Then when we get back, I'll make chicken soup with the bones.
Between my early morning walk and walking before TOPS meeting, then shopping, I got a lot of steps in. It'll be over 22,000 steps by the time I go to bed.1
