Happy first day of October! Break out the pumpkins!
Hope all is well with you.
Congrats on your son's lower time for his 5K! @KateNkognito
I am actually down a little on the scale this morning, which is nice. Not much but I will take it. Going to stick with 100g of carbs or less. Looking forward to starting weights next week (on my own, not with a trainer).
Had a nice walk around the neighborhood last night after work. Same planned for today. This week has been really beautiful and similar weather in store for the weekend. Taking a break from the gym and plan to head back on Monday AM.
Hope you have a great weekend.

Good morning and Happy Monday!
Hope you had a nice weekend. We did.
Woke up this AM and went to the gym. Good workout on the treadmill. BF is doing weights Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.
Rainy crappy weather here. Planning to move my clothes from spring/summer to fall/winter. Going to be in the office Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week. Need to not freeze my butt off in a summer dress and sandals. LOL
Hope all is well with you. Have a good Monday and a health week ahead.1 -
Good morning...
Hope everybody is having a good week.0 -
How is it Tuesday? Where has the time gone? I feel like I might have been abducted by aliens!
@Meghan509 Our weather took a serious fall turn, then switched back to summer, just to throw everyone off.
Today was parent-teacher conferences. I am tired.0 -
Good morning!
Yes, I know what you mean about crazy weather @KateNkognito it has been all over the place here! Over the weekend we had to put the heat on. Today it will be in the 70's. Same for rest of the week. Never a dull moment.
Day two in a row in the physical office. Sigh... Tuesday through Thursday for me this week. Traffic stunk today. Not feeling it today, AT ALL. But things could be worse.
Today is my Dad's birthday and he is still recovering from the cancer surgery he had in August, but he is healthy. Looking forward to seeing my family at Christmas.
Hope you have a good Wednesday. See you all soon.1 -
@Meghan509 Glad your dad is doing well. I don't envy your commute. I drive 20 miles, but it is way early, so there's no traffic. Afternoon is a little bit trickier.
I am so tired, I am going to order dinner, pick up my kid, eat, and go to bed. 6 pm isn't too early, is it?
Have a great rest of the week!0 -
Good morning!
Happy Friday Eve!
Hope all is well with you, @KateNkognito I totally hear you about being tired. Ugh. Slept a good 7 hours and 39 minutes last night (thank you Fitbit) and got a good sleep score. Still woke up feeling tired.
Day three in a row in the office and thankfully traffic was a piece of cake this AM. Phew. Planning to eat clean again today and hit the gym after work. No gym tomorrow AM. We are taking a much deserved break from waking up early and I have blood work to get done in the AM before signing on for work. My company gives us $200 in our Health Savings Account if we get a yearly check up via Walgreens or our MD. Also will get funds for getting a Covid-19 vaccine and a flu shot. Flu shots tomorrow for both BF and I.
Have a great day and see you soon!1 -
Unexpected day off due to a water main break! I plan on sleeping and doing absolutely nothing.
@Meghan509 Sounds like a busy day!1 -
Good morning!
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
@KateNkognito congrats on the much deserved day off! Woo hoo! You deserve a break.
Things are good here. Had a nice walk last night after work. Down a little more on the scale this week. That's two weeks in a row now with a loss!
Any fun plans for the weekend? We have pretty good weather on tap which is good. Sunday we are going to a local 80's concert with friends. They will come here to our place in the afternoon. We will have an early dinner and then head over to the show at 6:30pm. Looking forward to that!
Have a great weekend. See you soon!1 -
@Meghan509 My son has his last cross country meet Saturday and I have a stack of grading with my name on it. I would much prefer your plans! Have a great weekend!0

Good morning!
Happy Monday boo...
I am in the office today, vs. being remote but I cannot complain as there was ZERO traffic today thanks to it being Columbus Day. We are welcoming a new employee to the team and we are going out to lunch at noon with her. Looking forward to it.
Weekend was good. Nice weather and good company. See you soon!!0 -
@Meghan509 Glad you had a lovely weekend and a nice commute! I hope your lunch was good, too!
Today went by remarkably fast. The weekend was super nice! Three glorious days and lovely weather. My son didn't do his best at his meet, but he has league next weekend.
I think after this week I might try going back to modified ADF. My loss has slowed down and I really do prefer ADF. I miss breakfast.
Off to grade papers. Report cards are due Friday and we get the day off if we have them in early!0 -
Good morning!
Thanks, @KateNkognito I am with you about Monday flying by!! Sorry your son didn't do so well. Hope he does better next weekend.
Lunch with the new woman was nice. Working from home today which is nice!
Cool, about the modified ADF. What is the timing on your fast? My guy is currently reading the Jason Fung book about fasting. I picked it up a year or so ago used. I pretty much follow a 1pm to 9pm schedule for the most part. Except for today - just had my oatmeal since I was hungry!
Back to work. Have a good day and see you soon. 0 -
When I do ADF, I stop eating about 6-7 pm, then have a 500ish calorie dinner the next day and eat normally the day after, starting with breakfast around 6-7. So 36 hours with one 500 cal meal. It works for me.
Have a nice day, all! (I know there are people lurking!)0 -
Good morning!
Thanks @KateNkognito I was curious how that works. Sounds good!
Yes, there are totally people lurking. Hiiii! LOL
Back in the office today. Same for tomorrow. Today I plan to take a nice walk during the day. I have good walking shoes with me. Yesterday we took a nice walk after work. We went to a nearby track and it was really pretty out.
Eating clean and aiming for 10,000 steps a day or more. Have a good one and see you soon! 0 -
Good morning!
Hope all is well. Things are good / same here. Day three in the office and then working from home tomorrow. WOO HOO.
We have a pizza lunch today at work...
I ordered two salads as well, so hopefully I won't go too crazy today. Sigh...
Hope you have a good day and see you soon.0 -
I got my grades all done so I get the day off tomorrow. I plan on doing the laundry and other equally exciting stuff.
@Meghan509 I had pizza for dinner and I am now regretting my life choices.
Have a lovely end of the week, y'all!1 -
Good morning!
Happy Friday!
Oooh nice, congrats on the much needed day off @KateNkognito!!!
The pizza lunch went well yesterday! Everybody enjoyed eating together as a group and the pizza was good. I had two slices.
Been feeling a little off this week with some stomach and GI issues. Hoping that straightens itself out, because stomach cramps are the worst.
Working remotely today and enjoying my comfy sweatshirt and leggings. LOL
Have a good day and weekend. See you soon!0 -
Had a super productive day and now I'm just relaxing.
@Meghan509 Glad you had a nice lunch and get to enjoy your comfy pants today. I hope your tummy feels better, too!
Laundry needs to be done, so off I go! Have a nice weekend, all!0 -
Good morning!
Happy Monday!
Weekend was good. Got all my summer shoes, flip flops and sandals moved out of the closets and fall and winter stuff moved in. Just need to move in the boots and I am set.
In the meantime, had to put in another order for Amazon for new under-bed shoe boxes and a bunch of other stuff. Amazon probably has a wing named after me. LOL
Thanks @KateNkognito my stomach is finally better! Not sure what I ate that had messed me up but it figured itself out finally. If it didn't get better by today I would be calling the doctor. Hope you had a good weekend.
Cooler here and lots of leaves falling sigh... Working remotely today and then in office Tuesday though Thursday.
Have a good one and see you soon!0 -
Had a lovely weekend and a productive day today. It was a professional development day, then we had a bit to work in our classrooms. I got a lot of planning done.
@Meghan509 Amazon is a lifesaver! I order a ridiculous amount of stuff off there just so I don't have to make extra trips to the store.
I love fall and leaves and the cooler weather and cool weather clothes and Thanksgiving and all of it!
I hope everyone has a lovely week!0 -
Good morning!
Ahhh, don't you like productive weekends, @KateNkognito !! I was not too enthused about going in to the office today, but it was easier knowing I had all my clothing and shoes somewhat organized.
Yes, Amazon is king! LOL
Things are going well here. Took a walk mid day, during lunch and then got to the gym and had a good treadmill workout after work. Similar planned for today. Eating clean and drinking my water!
Have a good day and see you soon!0 -
@Meghan509 I hope your day ended nicely!
Today just proved that Tuesday is Monday's evil twin.
On a funny note: one of my students figured out that my husband is 22 years older than me and asked if he is my sugar daddy. Then later they asked me if he has life insurance. When I said no they said I should get him some and they'd take care of him for me! I died laughing!
I love my job some days! 1 -
Good morning!
Been sitting on this page in "draft" form for about an hour now. One of those days!!
Thank you, @KateNkognito yes Tuesday turned out to be okay! Things are going well today. Busy but productive.
Edited to add LMAO regarding the comments your student made! Kids have some big ones, for sure!!!
Planning to take a walk today during the day and then hit the gym again tonight. No gym tomorrow as I have a (much needed) hair cut and highlights appointment scheduled for after work. It's not easy being blond. LOL
Have a good rest of the day and see you soon!0 -
@Meghan509 Today was the full moon. That explains SO MUCH. I hope you enjoy your hair appointment!
Today is my birthday! Kids at school were sweet and my family was good to me. I am now full of cake and pasta, so, since I am old now, I am going to bed early. 0 -
Good morning!
Happy birthday to you, dear @KateNkognito !!! My good friend Jane's birthday was yesterday as well! Hope you had a nice one!
Yes, holy full moon Batman! We were coming home last night from a run to the supermarket and couldn't believe the giant moon! So cool. Wish I could take a picture but cell phone cameras can't really capture it well.
Had a good day yesterday. Got 10,000+ steps in which was nice! Going to do a little walk today to try and help my step count. Lots of time sitting today, between work and hair appointment after work.
Have a good Thursday and see you soon! TGIF tomorrow!!0 -
Good morning!
Working from home today and it is a beautiful thing!
All good here. Same... Had a good hair appointment last night. Nothing like some fresh highlights to help freshen my mood.
Looking forward to another productive weekend, putting away summer shoes in new containers and finally taking out my boots!
Hope you have a great day and a nice weekend.1 -
Sounds like a nice weekend, Meghan! Glad you get to work from home today.
Had a pretty good day and tonight is pizza night. This weekend I plan on doing some housework and a little bit of school work. I know, such an exciting life I lead!
Have a good weekend everyone!0 -
Happy Monday!
Crazy day at work today. Will post more tomorrow.
Have a good night. 0 -
@Meghan509 Same here. It is 6:30 and I am trying not to fall asleep.0
-
Good morning!
Yes, that was me last night as well @KateNkognito . Watched a Netflix show and got to bed at a decent hour. Phew!
We have a Nor'easter coming through here today! Was in the office yesterday and if I wasn't, then I'd be there today. Grateful to be home on this windy, rainy, crappy kind of day!
Yesterday was busy at work but the good news is the day flew by! I got a bunch of steps in even though I wasn't able to take a walk during the day or get any exercise after work. We had a new person start and I am assisting him. All good. Seems nice.
We had a nice weekend and went to see an all girl band on Saturday night that sings Led Zeppelin tunes. Fun!!
This weekend we are expecting friends to come Friday night and stay through Sunday. They are a couple we enjoy a lot. BF has known his buddy since high school and his wife is awesome too. Good times ahead!
Have a nice day. Hoping to stay dry and drama free with cable and power. Planning to eat clean too. Another good day for a healthy casserole for dinner.
See you soon!0
