Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a more relaxed day. I got a little bit of movement in, did some Christmas crafting, and worked for an hour at a friend's washing walls. Plan to keep working on my crafts as time is quickly running out.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was another more relaxed day. I always track my cleaning when I do a lot of it. Walked to and from the grocery store and forgot one item as I forgot to put it on the list. Will grab it on the way home from work if I have time. Also played cards and working on my crafting. Did some dishes hoping to get them caught up tonight. If I keep them caught up then the rule is you wash your own dishes. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Got my booster shot today as they dropped the age limit and the wait time since last shot. So glad I was able to get it before Christmas as I have a couple family members who are unvaccinated for various reasons.0 -
Good evening
We did have TOPS yesterday morning. Roads were good. It's hard to predict sometimes. I had a small gain. Sigh!
Today hasn't been the best of days. I stepped on some ice and fell. I banged the back of my head on a curb. Men that work for our local telephone company, saw it happen and stopped to see how I was. I told them where I lived, my husband's name, and our home phone number. I was very coherent. I don't remember any of it. I vaguely remember going into the clinic afterwards. The doctor there wanted a CT scan, so we had to go to the hospital ER. Everything looked good. The doctor at the ER was a king-size jerk. I was NOT impressed with him.
I've been resting this afternoon. I have a lump on the back of my head and a black eye. I'm not sure how I got the black eye. The 2 men from the phone company stopped in to see how I was doing the evening. That was nice of them. Our minister brought us some supper tonight. That was sweet of him and his wife. She cooked and he delivered.1 -
Hugs Bea! Hope you feel better soon. Don't worry about the gain you'll get it back off soon. Remember the best way to face the holidays is to have a goal to maintain instead of losing.
Good Evening Everyone!
I think my dishes are multiplying during the night. Everytime I think they're almost done they are not 🤣. Oh well. Worked for 3 hrs cleaning today. Did a little more shopping for Hubby's Christmas presents. Also working hard on my Christmas crafting. I think I am starting to see the light at the end of that tunnel.0 -
Good evening
I feel better today, but still fuzzy headed. When people ask about black eye, I ask if they want the truth or a good story. The good story is Mary (my elderly friend) and I got in a big argument and she hit me with her first. Everyone laughs at that. Even Mary laughed at that. That's out of character for both of us. I usually tell the real truth afterwards. I don't remember. I was surprised the first time I saw it.1 -
I love telling someone a funny story instead of the truth for things like that.
Good Evening Everyone!
We were supposed to get some snow but it all stayed north of us. Just rain to day 😢. No exercise and didn't track my steps. Concentrated on crafting and laundry. Also played a couple games of cards with Hubby and visited with a friend that lives around the corner.0 -
Good evening
I've been mostly sitting around today. I'm still a little headachy. I did make a fruitcake.1 -
I am glad you're giving your body time to heal. Doing little things as a change is a great way to get some movement.
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was another repeat of yesterday. Only difference was for my breaks from crafting I got several odd jobs done around the house. Now my windows and doors are clean. Also the windows finally got the rest of there decorations. Tomorrow will be more active as Mom has an appointment and needs some groceries for Christmas.0 -
Good evening
You've been busy. All I've done is go to church and watch TV. I did take Mary to the grocery store. I also picked up a few groceries. I'm still fuzzy headed and headachy. I do have a doctor appointment on Thursday to check everything out.1 -
I hope you feel better and it's nothing to serious. Yes I am very busy. I hate to say it but I. Some ways I wish we would go back into lockdowns so that I have more time at home.
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a busy day with Mom but got some well needed walking in. Got some more crafting done this morning before leaving. Hoping to get more done tonight. Also my son was with us part of the time. Tomorrow we weigh-in at TOPS no meeting due to restrictions. Then clean Mom's and do laundry. In the afternoon Dakoda and I have a dentist appointment for him and also need to get him filed for employment insurance as his job is done for the season. So another busy day. Hope to get crafting done in the evening or I might find myself behind.0 -
Good evening!
I made some fudge this morning and a fruitcake this afternoon. I also took Mary to PT. While she was in PT, I visited Bernie. She's getting her color back and is acting better.
I'm feeling better some. I still have a little headache.1 -
Glad you're feeling better Bea! Just by reading what you did I could tell.
Good Evening Everyone!
Thanks for the information on Ei. I decided to look things up online and found out that my BIL is not very bright sometimes. We have to wait about 10 days for some mail to continue the process. Hopefully the government process it quickly so we can get to the application. So that turned out to be one less thing to do today. No standing in a long line just to access the building. Dakoda's dentist appointment went quick. Should have know what the issue is based on symptoms. He has TMJ/TMD. Needs braces but doesn't have coverage so he needs to decide how to proceed on that. Also today was weigh-in. Lost 0.25 lbs! Such a wonderful surprise. Glad the scale understood and agreed with my request to be nice and only have a small gain LoL 🤣.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Mostly sunny with flurries. Nothing was sticking though. Didn't end up working today and didn't find out till I showed up. We live 2 doors down she could have told me ahead of time. So I am on vacation from there till the new year. My crafting is almost done. Hoping to have them done by tomorrow night. Also made 2 batches of cranberry sauce (1reg and 1 diet). Also prepped most of the ingredients for my Christmas pudding (steamed carrot pudding). Also played cards as Hubby requested.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Couple fine flurries. Worked on my crafts and is taking a little longer than planned for the final part. If not done tonight will definitely be done tomorrow morning. Made the Christmas pudding and worked cleaning this afternoon. Tomorrow is tart shells and wrapping. Also plan to make the rounds to neighbors that are friends with gifts. Hubby has to bye my Christmas gift tomorrow as pick up a friend's gift then they're all done.0 -
Good Evening Everyone! Merry Christmas!
Today has been busy and productive. Finished my crafting last night. Just a couple last minute things to do including my nails.

Good Evening Everyone!
Yesterday was a great day! Lots of food and family and no Drama! Anyways everyone seemed to enjoy there gifts including the snowman ornaments. My son has already picked a wreath for next year so after a short break I will find a pattern I like and start from there. I got several things to help me stay and get back on track plus a few other things.
Today relaxing, some boxing Day shopping, lunch out, played cards, watched football and a short walk. Also the neighbor I work for brought a gentleman by to see if I would shovel snow for him while he is gone in January and February. Of course I took the job even though I have to travel by bus to get there. He is also having me do cleaning for him on one of his rental properties tomorrow. When he gets back in February he also said he may have me clean for him. Glad I took today as a rest day before getting going again but I know I need to start getting a routine going.0 -
Good afternoon!
We are heading home today. Yesterday, there was a big snow storm. 6 + inches of new snow. Today the temperature dropped to -8 degrees F. But it quit snowing.
We had 2 Christmas dinners. First was with one son and his family. The 2nd was yesterday with another son and his wife's sisters. Both was great in different ways.
I haven't been able to post pictures on MyFitnessPal. Maybe I can now. I'll try again in the next few days.

I forgot to mention. I am feeling better now. That fuzzy head is pretty much gone. I still have a mild headache.
I'm not sure if I mentioned it before, but I had a black eye. I'm not sure how I got it. I thought I might have hit myself with my walking stick when I slipped and fell. However, my glasses are not bent or scratched.
Right now, my glasses almost cover up the remnants of the black eye.
The doctor said it could have happened from the impact of my fall breaking ting blood vessels.1 -
Bea I am glad you're feeling better and enjoyed your holidays!
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was off. Got up with the plan of a walk and looked outside. Snow and freezing rain. So that didn't happen. Did do some marching. Did laundry and dishes. Also read and played cards. I thought I was working today but the guy never called or showed up. Oh well I will stick to the original plan we had. Maybe there was a misunderstanding. We will see what tomorrow brings. Also weigh-in and Mom's grocery shopping. Not expecting anything great with the scale. We will see.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
It's snowing!
Anyways today was weigh-in Day and gained 4.75 lbs. Almost all I lost over the last two weeks. Oh well it's the holidays and I will enjoy then get back on track. Met with my newest boss to go over something's. We will be meeting a couple more times before he leaves to finish details. He even plans to buy me a cheap bike. He admitted as well that he was interested in me but since I have a man he will respect that. Well I am glad that he will because otherwise I would have had to turn down the jobs he has for me. The new Christmas ornament has been chosen for next year and I have enrolled in classes at home for nutrition and fitness. Lots going on in the new year and need to plan better so I don't get overwhelmed. Most of my stuff is flexible. I just don't like feeling like I am not giving my full attention to everything. I have till Monday to get everything in order and planned for success.0 -
Good afternoon
I'm tired of winter and ready for Spring. It snowed a little last night.
Today I took Mary to a Dr appointment. Tomorrow, she had PT. I'll probably have a weight gain tomorrow at TOPS.1 -
Bea no big deal with a gain. You'll have it off in no time if it helps.
Good Evening Everyone!
The snow is gone as it rained all day. But more snow and freezing rain is coming tonight. Ran some errands to get ready for the end of the month. Cleaned some more n the kitchen and the living room. We also had Hubby's friend visit for several hours. Usually he drops in and out with in minutes. I am hoping that some of what he said sinks in to Hubby's thick head. I know I am not perfect but things can definitely be better. Tomorrow I am working on the bedroom. I am turning it into storage and maybe my exercise room not sure yet. Either way I need my space in the kitchen for studying. Trying to get everything in order for the New Year. Less stress happier me. Also have to work for about an hour and so tomorrow.0 -
Good evening,
There is no perfect marriage because every individual is imperfect with different personalities. I think I could say the same thing about my husband. He can be irritating! And he's clueless. lol
We got an inch of snow last night. We still had our TOPS meeting. Big surprise! I gained a couple pounds. We still did our walking before the meeting, but it was inside. It was 14 degrees F. and snow on top of icy spots. Not good walking conditions! It is what it is!
I took Mary to PT this afternoon. While she did that, I popped in to see Bernie. She's doing so much better now.1 -
I hear you about the Hubby issues. You're gain was not bad. You'll have that gone in no time. I am glad to hear Bernie is doing so much better.
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a crazy day. Spent the morning moving stuff around in the bedroom and cleaning it. Then moved all the crap from the kitchen to the bedroom as it is now storage. Kitchen looks sooooo much better and ready for my studies and sewing. One of my clients called around 11am needing me to drop everything and go move a renter out of the unit. So I did. Come to find out the renter is a distant cousin of mine. Anyways then rushed to McDonald's for lunch since no time to go home and eat. Then cleaned another clients apartment that was actually scheduled. When I got home I did some marching trying to get my body back to wanting to move. Now to relax for the night.0 -
Good evening!
Today has been really frustrating. I've been on the phone with DirecTV and AT&T most of the day. It's all about a big overcharge. I talked to several different people. And I accomplished NOTHING. Someone finally told to go to the website and sent me a link. I went around and around on that site. And accomplished NOTHING again. Then I wrote a letter of complaint and will mail it tomorrow. As soon as we get something else set up, DirecTV will be history. They might have won the battle, but I, the customer, will win the war.
While on the phone, I did a lot of walking. Part of it, I was on hold, other part, talking to various people. I guess I did accomplish something today. lol1 -
Great job moving while on the phone.
Good Evening Everyone!
Happy New Year's Eve!
Today was a busy day! Got a good walk in running around getting last minute things. Prepped enough food for a huge party but there's only us two 😂. Will be lots of leftovers for lunches and dinners. Also did laundry and played cards with Hubby. I am so proud of him today. He actually helped with out much fuss. Plan to start getting back on track tomorrow expecially with exercise. That gives me about 10 days to get that routine back up and running before my studies arrive in the mail.0 -
Good evening and happy new Year's Eve to you also.
We're spending a quiet evening at home tonight watching a Christmas movie.
It snowed another 3 inches today. Mary wanted me to pick up a prescription and bring it out to her. I didn't really want to do it in this weather. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
I tried calling DirecTV one more time. I gave up after being on hold for 20 minutes. I hung up on them. I didn't want to repeat yesterday. I typed up a letter telling my experience and mailed it. My next contact with them will be to cancel the service.0 -
Bea I am glad the snow was not to bad for driving. You're such a great friend. We watched the Nashville New Year's Eve show. Made it through our midnight but not theirs.
Good Evening Everyone!
Happy New Year!
Today started out rough and did not get better till I got called into work by a client. I think the lack of sleep, to much food and an early alarm was the cause. We are getting snow but started off as freezing rain. Tomorrow have to work not sure when.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a good day. Got to shovel some snow! So happy that it's beautiful and white. Got some marching done as well as started my 2022 Christmas craft gifts. Didn't end up working as I never received a call from my client. Most likely tomorrow but we will see. Maybe he decided to do it himself.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Sun today! Even though I wasn't outside it was still great for my mood and energy. Got my workouts done today and did full amount. It feels great to know that I didn't lose as much as I thought. Still need to get my butt moving for planned walks again. Now to stick to doing my planned workouts 6 days a week. Studies should show up on Friday. Sooner than thought but that just means sooner I can get started. Still no call from my client as of yet. So not sure if am working tonight or not. I do not like this feeling of being on call and not in control. Tomorrow is weigh day. Not worried about what happens as I know I have not done my best. But am working hard on getting back on track.
The photo is my 2022 beginning photo.
