    I am glad to hear you are getting better Sandra. I have been working on my diamond painting in between sitting and watching the snow fall. I am about 1/3 of the way done with the picture. The dusting of snow that was on the grass melted during a short break in the snow fall. It's falling pretty good again now, but it's not sticking. I guess the ground is too warm.

    Good morning. We still have a little dusting of snow on the ground, but I'm sure it will melt today. Have a good day!

    Hi All. Busy day today. Off work tomorrow as we have doctor appointments around lunch time that are about an hour away and an hour long each.

    Good morning. I hope you have a good day today. It is rainy and cool here. Tomorrow there is another chance for more frozen precipitation. Well, tonight into tomorrow.

    I have so much work to do that I logged in tonight. I just finished an hour and a half of extra work. They took away the chance of frozen precipitation for tonight and tomorrow and now it's just supposed to be cloudy.

    Hi! Sorry I missed a couple days. I thought I checked in, but I guess I didn't. I'm having a nice weekend. I finished the book I was reading yesterday (Where the Crawdads Sing) and I loved it. I worked on my diamond painting this afternoon. Yesterday, I ate tons of vegetables and had 10 points left at the end of the day! And that was with my husband asking for pizza! I ate two small (half breadstick sized) pieces, which was about the same as one slice. I ordered a salad for myself and ate that instead of having more pizza. This morning, when I got on the scale (I weigh every day, but only record my weight on Saturdays) I realized I am now lower than I've been since September of 2016. There was a day last October where I was halfway between yesterday's weight and today's weight, but from here on out, I'm going to weigh less than I have in at least half a decade. That is really encouraging to me. I also hit 6 months of exercising every single day with no excuses to skip a day. Overall, I'm just really proud of myself and my efforts and I feel like I'm really making progress. I am almost to my next set of goals. I am less than a pound away from reaching 70 pounds lost and about a half pound less than that will be 20% of my start weight lost. I think when I reach the 20% lost, I will take progress pictures to add to my weight loss collage.

    Thanks, Sandra. This is the longest I've stuck to a healthier lifestyle and I am really proud of my perseverence. I guess I have finally learned what happens to me when I give up.

    Even though I am diabetic I decided to incorporate more fruit in my diet I feel like I am not getting enough. I am also going back to the old WW I did very well on it. I tried using their online website and I got so confused I gave up I will keep track of my own points.

    Sandra, I hope it works for you. I am upset that fruit is no longer "free" for me on my WW plan because I am diabetic. It's been a rough day. Headache, bathroom issues, busy day at work where I didn't feel accomplished.

    Nicole I didn't know you were diabetic.
    I heard from doctor today and said limit my fruit so I must do as she said my numbers have been so good don't want to ruin my numbers. I did very well today.

    Sandra I'm glad your numbers have been good lately. It is the start of another day. I hired a new CPA yesterday to help with our taxes because they are more complicated this year. We owe less than I expected, so it was worth hiring him. I hired him yesterday and we had a zoom call yesterday evening because he was finished and wanted to go over the returns with me. I'm hoping that I get more accomplished at work today than I did yesterday. I don't think I have any meetings today, so that should help.

    I can't believe it is tax time again. Just hope we don't have to pay much this year.

    Weather was beautiful today fell asleep on the lounge.

    Lovely day out today. Started out cold, but warmed up nicely. Cooked out on the grill for dinner.

    Grilling sounds so good. Need to get a new one wore out the old one.

    Good morning. Up super early today. Neither of us could fall back asleep so we got up. Down 0.8 this week for a total of 10.3 for the month of January. We are doing a shrimp boil for lunch today. I am looking forward to it.

    Good morning. I had a telehealth with a new provider on Monday and I really liked her. She was very thorough and had an excellent "bedside manner". Work is still work. Super busy.

    I feel good today blood sugar back to normal.
    Have to find all my WW points book. I have been really good with my eating. I have had no sugar or salt today. Wednesday when my blood sugar was high it scared me to the point I thought it was my last day on earth.

    Sandra, that is great not having any sugar or salt. I am sorry you were so scared. I think of you all the time. I lost 1.3 this week. I've now lost just over 70 pounds/20% of my start weight. I met my next goal, so I ordered my reward.
