Good Evening Everyone!
I made oatmeal banana chocolate chip cookies with raisins and currents. The best part is instead of oatmeal I think I used bran flakes. Not sure it was a mystery bag that was Mom's. The chocolate chips were dark and semi-sweet.
The results were in the mail today when I got home. Passed my food handlers certificate with a 98%. Now to get my resume done.
Today has been an off day. Woke up at 5:30 am and read for about an hour. Then did my walk video and a little strength exercise. Also completed my TOPS program for tomorrow. We are covering protein. Had a light breakfast and found out my Son was running late. Good thing I always make sure to leave extra time to catch a different bus to appointments. While I was down town waiting for him I did a little shopping. He has a cavity that needs fixing and needs a cleaning before they can put on his upper braces. When I got home opened my mail and was so happy had to share my news with my cousin and a friend so texted them. Had a quick lunch and read a little more. Then went to my friends house. She was telling me about work. Kinda happy that they didn't call me back. She doesn't want to stay. Soon dinner and then bed.

Good Evening Everyone!
Today was rest, weigh and TOPS day. Gained half a pound. Not good but not bad either. With how everything went this week not to bad. It shows me that I just need to be more consistent with food and exercise. Ran some errands with Hubby today, then did some dishes and decluttering. Back on track tomorrow.0 -
Good evening
It warmed up today and snowed.
Yesterday. Mary had another surgery. That makes 2 surgeries and 22 days in the hospital in January! There was a few places with scar tissue that caused the blockage. Today, she is really sore. She might get out of the hospital on Thursday.
Today just started wrong. First. I swept in. I put my fitbit on the charger and then showered. After I got dressed, I made a quick trip to the grocery store for milk and bread. I was too tired to get them last night. I forgot to take my fitbit off the charger, so didn't get the steps.
Then, Robert reminded me of an appointment and we had to leave at 8:30 this morning. That is my usual walking time. We didn't get home until noon.
It was just one of THOSE mornings! I walked a lot around the house this afternoon to catch up.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Hope Mary has a speedy recovery with no more complications. You did great considering. I have forgotten my Fitbit before. It's disappointing as you don't get credit on Fitbit for it. But the important thing to remember is that your body still tracks it.
Today has been a very good day! Got up and posted in a challenge I lead on Facebook. Then got dressed and did my video, strength, laundry, and dishes (they're finally caught up!). Also cleaned the stove and rearranged something's. After lunch Hubby and I played Wii sports. When it's not our turn we March in place. I am trying to get back into being more active at home like I did when we were in COVID lockdown's. It worked then to lose the weight it will again. Yes I am still listening to my body and will take breaks when needed.0 -
Good evening,
I had a doctor appointment for my neck this morning in Missoula. On the way there, I got a call from the hospital. They told me that Mary is being discharged today to go home. I said that's great. So I told them I jad a doctor appointment, then we'd have lunch, then get gas and go to hospital to pick her up. So we brought Mary home. She was happy to go home.
That's been my day!1 -
I forgot to mention, the ground hog saw his shadow here this morning.
I don't care what the ground hog did in Pennsylvania!0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I am so glad Mary got to go home!
Today was another sunny and cold day but very productive! All workouts done, most of chr has been packed away. Just windows, doors and all the towels to get done. Took Son to his teeth cleaning appointment and did some grocery shopping. Had to take a cab home. Put groceries away, played Wii sports with Hubby. Got some studying for my classes and did some reading for my book club. Boy am I tired. Hopefully that means a good night sleep.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been another sunny day. All exercise done, studied, read some of my book for my bookclub, did dishes and laundry. Also played skipbo instead of Wii sports as Hubby said his knees are bothering him from the marching. So I did step-ups on and off to get extra steps. Still struggling with being hungry all the time and keeping my calories in range.0 -
Good evening
Today was yet another trip to Missoula. Robert hasd an eye doctor appointment. We also changed our cellphone plan. We still have to see another doctor on Monday. This one is for his lungs. His 40 year history of smoking did damage. He is almost 14 years of smoke free. But the damage was done.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was another sunny, cold day. All exercise completed including step-ups to get my hourly steps. Also studied, did dishes and laundry. Played a board game with Hubby and also made time for some me time reading. Still struggling with food but slowly trying to get it under control by trying to make healthier choices.0 -
Good evening,
I guess you read on fitbit what happened last night. I'm so tired today. I was impressed that with only 3 hours of sleep last night, I got a sleep score of 70 (according to fitbit) . I expected it to be much less. But I'm still tired!
I did a few things around the house this afternoon. I better end the before I fall asleep.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I did see about Mary in Fitbit. I do hope they can get her all fixed up. I am not surprised you were tired. It makes sense to take a rest day when you're tired.
Today has been a mostly sunny day. It was 50°F in the Church this morning. I was frozen. Today was a relaxed but productive day. Made cowboy caviar, chilli, baked tortilla chips, and homemade croutons. Also did some dishes and laundry and played cards with Hubby.0 -
Good afternoon
What a week this has been! Robert had a doctor appointment with a pulmonologist for his breathing. He smoked about 40 years, but had been almost 13 years free. But there was still damage done. He's been on a steroid Inhaler for a few months. Now he'll be on oxygen when he's active. Sitting his oxygen was 97, which is good. After walking down the hall, his oxygen level was 82, which was bad. So he doesn't need it when at computer or watching TV. But if he goes to Walmart or Costco, he'll need it.
Afterwards, we stopped in to see Mary. She looked good, better than a long time. Then lunch and home.
Yesterday, I got a call saying Mary will soon be moved to some rehab center. She needs clothes and a few other personal things. So I volunteered to take them to her. I took them to her. I was amazed when I saw her. Her color returned. She was cheerful and easily smiled. The "ol' Mary " is back. She had an adjustment to her medication over the weekend, mainly, she was taken off painkillers.
At TOPS this morning, I gained .2 pounds. Considering everything, I'm ok with it. I didn't really realize how stressed I was until yesterday. I feel like a big weight was lifted off me. I also drank a glass of water when I first got up as I usually do, except on Wednesday TOPS day. Then I drink the water after weigh-in.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I am so glad Mary is doing better and being sent to a rehab center.
Sorry I have been mia. The website locked me out for a couple days but I am back.
I have been exercising consistently and trying to keep my calories in range or at least close to it. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. This week I gained another half pound. That puts me at the brink of losing my 100 lb loss status. Need to loose this weight. Have finally gotten back in to studying for my nutrition and fitness course and sent off an exam today. It's been almost a year since I started that chapter. Hoping to be back on track.0 -
Did you read what Sandy said in the workweek hustle on fitbit. I'm not sure what to do. My first thought was to drop out. 2nd thought was to hang tough for one more day and not accept another of the workweek or weekend challenges. Am I being over sensitive? I'm not sure what to do.1

Good Evening Everyone!
I did see what she posted. I am not happy with what she said. But she is a very outspoken person. She is from my TOPS group. She is one of the ladies involved with that incident at TOPS a couple of weeks ago. I don't blame you for not wanting to accept any other challenges from her and I have a feeling she won't be inviting you. We can do our own instead. I chose not to get involved on Fitbit with the conversation as I doubt it would do any good. I am going to prove a point in another way.
It is definitely good to be back.
I won't be surprised if I get a mark in the 90's on my exam as it's open book. I write it as if it's not but will check answers I am not sure of.
Today has mostly been rainy. But got all planned exercise, dishes, some laundry and studying done. Also did some decluttering, went to my Son's doctor appointment and played Wii sports with Hubby. It feels so great to be in a routine and be getting things done. Reaching over 20,000 steps each day is just the bonus. Although right now I am out to prove a point to someone I know.0 -
Good evening,
I didn't remember whe started the workweek challenge. I'll take a break from it. I also noticed that Sandy isn't even close to being the top winner.
I dint even like the winner title. It's all about doing your best. It's too bad that fitbit puts that title on. It would be far better if the had a best improvement. I'd flunk on that. I feel that I'm at my best or close.
Today has been mostly at home. I dashed down to the store this morning. We didn't know when the oxygen man would be here today. He got here this afternoon. Robert isn't going to use it until after he's done with the chemotherapy cream on his nose, which is tomorrow. So he'll start the oxygen on Saturday.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I know why we do the race's that's why I am creating them for our group. I finished the valley loop race in about 34 hrs today that she invited me to. I think I made a point. She seemed to be doing a lot of back peddling this evening. Maybe her brother or daughter said something to her about how rude she was.
Today has been a very busy day with lots of exercise and movement. Completed my workouts, studied, did dishes and laundry, played Wii sports with Hubby, walked down town to meet my Son for his appointment at the bank, then walked to the grocery store and cabbed it home. Boy am I tired and muscles are not happy. But that's ok as I know they will be ready for tomorrow's workouts.0 -
Good evening.
I haven't responded on anything on the workweek challenge. But I noticed she has been very nice with her posts. But no one else is responding either. It is what it is! But she basically told me to go away. Then while being nice she again said I'm not invited to anymore of her challenges. Her words was to invite only those in her step range. That's the lower third. lol1 -
I wasn't ready to hit enter lol
We went to Missoula to see Mary today. We spent about 90 minutes with her. She's being moved to rehab on Monday. We also did a little shopping.
So it's been a busy day1 -
Then we resort to filthy language, gutter talk... or whatever you want to call it...1

For what it's worth. Sandy gave me a very nice apology. I gave back a long and nice (or at least what I think is nice). I explained that I used to be a 210 pound couch potato and I didn't want to go back. So i push myself harder than i need. It's who I am.
I also Gave her a few tips to control herself. One was take a big breath, exhale slowly and repeat if needed.
Another type her frustration, the delete and don't send. The last tip was to talk to someone she knows. I suggested you because she knows you face to face.
And I told her to always do your best an don't worry about anything else. (Ever hear me say that? Well not really hear, but I've typed it many times)

Good evening.
If you want to read all my post, there was several consecutively. You have to go back a page. I don't like that MyFitnessPal does that.
I didn't do well with my steps today. You did great. Malia was here most of the day. Nice visit!
I don't remember if I mentioned that Mary is being transferred to a rehab facility on Monday. There is no available vehicle to transport her. So Monday will be a really long day for me. All Mary's family is happy because she'll be closer to them. All is good!1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Yes I seen all your posts. She actually apologized to everyone individually apparently. Leigh and I both got one. Leigh had no clue what was going on till I told her to check out the work week hustle. I am glad Mary is moving to rehab on Monday.
Made today a great day! All planned exercise done, dishes and laundry done, walked to and from the grocery store to get what I needed for tomorrow, and played Wii sports with Hubby. Taking taco dip and tostitos tomorrow for Super Bowl at my friend's. Oh and got some studying done.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Didn't get to check in yesterday. Went to church, studied, played Wii sports with Hubby and finished making the taco dip before heading to my friends. Got there some time after 2 pm. Didn't watch much of the game or any other part. Was busy socializing and snacking. May have over ate yesterday but. I did try to limit what I ate at home to healthy and only if I was truly hungry before leaving. Most likely went over in calories as I did eat quite a bit even though it was fairly healthy foods out side of the chips. Also there was some alcohol involved.
Today has been a very productive day even with only 4 hrs of sleep. Yesterday's and today's exercise completed, did dishes and laundry, studied and played cards with Hubby. Tomorrow is rest, weigh, TOPS and Valentine's day. Not sure how the scale will react with the chips yesterday but I see and feel the difference already.0 -
Good evening,
I went to Missoula to pick Mary up from hospital. I left home at 8:45 this morning. Picked up Mary, then got some gas in the car. We swung around to Mary's house so she could pick up a few things. Then we had some lunch. Then we went to the rehab place. I stayed with Mary for about an hour. Then I went home. I got home about 3 PM. That was about 140 miles total.
That's been my day.
Our church had a Super Bowl party yesterday. I ate way too much. But it was all good. Upstairs was the big game. We stayed in the basement and had fun playing card games. It was also where the food was. lol1 -
Good evening,
As you've read on Fitbit. I had an MRI this afternoon. I expected it to last an hour. I was surprised that with their new scanner, it takes just 15 minutes.
It'll be a few days before I know the results. Xray says arthritis, disk problems, and a slight curvature. I don't expect anything different. I do exercises to help.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Yesterday was rest, weigh and TOPS day. Gained another pound. Extremely frustrated but know if I keep doing the right things and improve on others it will eventually turn around. Took the rest part literally. Did get a small walk in at the mall getting Hubby's gift. I also used the holiday as a cover to eat my feelings. Hubby went out to get my gift after lunch. He came home with 6 long stem red roses and an Amazon gift card. He also informed me that something would be delivered the next day.
Today I completed all my workouts, did dishes and laundry, and also studied. Did some organizing and also played Wii sports with Hubby. My delivery came and it is a beautiful flower as arrangement. I feel very loved and special this year.
I tried to post the pictures of the flowers but it wouldn't work today.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been cold and cloudy. Completed all workouts, studied, did dishes, laundry and decluttering, worked on my TOPS program for Tuesday and played Wii sports with Hubby.

Good evening
We went to see Mary this afternoon. She's doing good. She's discouraged because she wants to go home.
Yesterday at TOPS, I gained .2 pounds. I know it's not much, but I had hoped to do better. I had a special award to give. Our Chapter Queen is also our Divisional Winner. That was fun!1
