Gorgeous maple trees:

Have been so long since I logged on here! Trying to read back ... and @cschmitz110515 .. congrats on your retirement!!! How wonderful, and by the beautiful walking pictures you are sending.. sounds like you are enjoying it!!
@Bex -- how wonderful for you and Ash to join a gym!! I love going to the gym.. hubby tells me I go too much, but I find it a great way to start my day. I've met a lot of friends there because I tend to go the same time everyday .. at 8:15 .. .and the same people are there.
I'll try and read back more and respond .. but I'm behind about 20 pages!!
We have been busy clearing out stuff and getting rid of things.. lots of trips to goodwill, and lots of things I put on craigslist. We are finding tools sell really fast.. other things not so much. But its nice to get our "house" back after running a business for 26 years.
My high school friends are coming into town tomorrow ... so I am looking forward to that! The leaves are starting to turn, so it will be pretty. Mostly they love to shop, so I'll take them to some cute unique places. Then next weekend Hubbys friend is visiting for a few days. I love having company .. something we rarely have.
My weight has stayed the same, but my jeans and clothes fit so much better. Hubby says he can tell I'm toning up more by going to the gym. But I still want to get at least 15-20 pounds off. So I really need to be better at logging my food and getting on here to be accountable!
So ... ha .. I'll start today, even though I know the next 3 days I'll again be MIA.

Yesterday morning went okay, the afternoon sort of fell apart. Ended up snacking pretty much constantly and then had no appetite/energy to cook something healthy for dinner. I knew the snacking would have that effect but I still couldn’t seem to stop myself. Definitely need to work on breaking that particular bad habit.
Fell far short of my water goal - trying to work up to getting 64 oz a day, but barely managed 24.
Only had the energy to write for about 5 minutes - didn’t make much progress. Looking at another very long day at work today since I worked “only” 8 hours yesterday, so we’ll see if any more writing happens tonight.
Goals for 10/19/22

@pridesabtch I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend and also your mom's recent diagnosis. Those are tough pills to swallow. (((HUGS)))
@krishjaye I tried to add you as a Friend, but I can't figure out how anymore either! lol! I haven't been on much lately and they did an upgrade. I'll keep trying. Welcome to JFT!1 -
@cschmitz110515 Doesn't it feel great to be retired? But also kind of disorganized because of no schedule? I love your pictures! I've been taking photos of the beautiful colors on my walks with Maddie also. The Maple trees are my favorite! I took her yesterday and the wind & chill was crazy! I had no idea the gusts were up to 50 mph until watching the news this morning...it all made sense then! hahaha!
@Bex953172 Yay for the gym membership! I remember you saying you were a swimmer when you were younger. That will be wonderful for you two to do together. It must feel wonderful to have some "me" time with the girls in school again.
@mytime6630 Glad you are making a dent in your decluttering process! 26 years is a long time to be running a home business. I'll bet you didn't even realize how much stuff you accumulated through the years. I remember a few years back when I decluttered the back "spare" room in our house and when I got done, I had a whole room to work with! It was so eye opening.
Has anyone heard from Snowflake (Tracey)? I hope she's doing well! Funny how we can worry and wonder about people we've not met in person, isn't it? The magic of the internet.... 1 -
We got our flu and booster jabs today. Drive through in the pouring rain. One in each arm 😝
Shopped this morning so fridge and pantry topped up with healthy options YAY!!!
Spent most of the rest of today finishing my current jigsaw. I get totally engrossed when I do those.
Watching Pointless (quiz show) then will do rice for the beef chilli I made yesterday.

@mytime6630 Good to see you back with us. We missed you!
@cschmitz110515 You’ll soon get a routine up and running. I’m also swapping out my summer for winter wardrobe. 🥰 the fall photos.
@pridesabtch So sorry to hear about your mom. She’s luck to have you looking out for her. but praying the road won't be too bumpy. Sad that you have lost your dear friend at this time. (((Hugs)))

@PackerFanInGB Yes, loving retirement only week & half in! So far I've been keeping very busy, partly because of my birthday month, partly due to family events, but also because I delayed appts. for when I knew I would no longer have my job to work around. I expect things to slow down eventually lol.
