Good Evening Everyone!
So glad to be here and looking forward to the start of the challenge! Thanks to all the leaders for everything you do!
Today has been a great day! Finished studying and wrote my last exam for this section. Now to wait for my next set of books. My son and I went for a walk this afternoon while it was still sunny and a decent temperature. Visited my friend and got an update on her husband. He has improved but is still not out of the woods yet. Has along way to go just to be on the mend. Also exercised and am playing Windsoropoly. Last night made fish tacos. Never cook fish that has not come from a box but it was awesome LoL 🤣.

Thanks for all the work you all do to make these challenges work.
It’s up to us travellers to make the most we can from the journey.
I need to learn to say no when the flight attendant passes by with treats.7 -
Since I’m not sure what I’m doing next challenge I shall no take part in a specific inter challenge group but have decided that I’m going to walk 11000 steps per day for me for as long as the legs allow and the weather is kind, other days I’ll grudgingly concede to using a dvd.
For w/c March 6 shall allow on piece of chocolate with morning and afternoon coffee5 -

Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a good day. Some movement and chores. Also played Windsoropoly and Mario Kart. I was able to work on getting my challenge ready for the 15th as I am on a study break till my books come in. Tonight's dinner is a repeat of Friday as it was a hit with all of us and is easy. Hubby wanted BLT's but no bacon.1 -

@Jer2ber saw you saying you’re going for the challenge even though you are a bit stretched. Make this your metime. Get it in the diary and make sure you don’t cross it out too often. Life happens but I’ve just had the best morning in ages. Booked a brother date with the older one and we walked around 12 miles around the bay near home and I’m tired and just a wee bit stiff, but on a high6

Just caught up on the chat here. Hi everyone!
Today hubby and I are joining a gym. It's been so long, but the covid numbers are going down and a vaccine passport is required so I it's ok. Yesterday was hiking day and the weather was fantastic. Our camellia tree is in bloom, so beautiful flowers soon.
Happy March!4 -
@kaliswalker isn't it wonderful to get out away from the buzz of town and into the countryside and just soak up the calm of birdsong and other critters and the sound of rivers and streams?
4.5hrs on our coastal path today was great2 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a good day but also a sad day. Exercised, worked on some of my challenge, played game with Son and hubby, read and took a nap. Got my mark for my second exam. 96% should have been 💯% but made a silly mistake. My new study material has been shipped and is on the way! Now for the sad part of my day. My friend that has been in the hospital fighting for his life passed away today at 3 pm. He will be deeply missed by many.6 -
Just catching up. SO GOOD to see you all here!!! Love the plans of you all!! During the break I want to lose 2 to 3 lbs, and so I am not going into a vacation mode as I had done at times before, though not always. I want to be the low 60's or maybe,, and it'll be a stretch, but maybe even the high 50's by the end of the year.4

Even though I don't live in snow country, it's always wonderful to have SPRING to look forward to. We do have seasons here in Hawaii and we can tell the difference in the surf sounds, how the plants sound as they die off or regrow, temperatures do fluctuate some, what's growing and what isn't, sunrise and sunset changes, where the sun sets throughout the year.
And it can get cold (don't laugh, but 68-70 brings out the sweaters), usually from the cold air blowing down after a Mauna Loa snowfall (13,000+ ft). Even for those living at 5,000 ft. it can get down to the 40s. But beach visitors can usually count on good sunny days close to 80. That's more my style and it keeps my orchids happy!3 -
@Lavalily ,,,, It sounds so nice there!! Strangely I've never desired to visit there, but I think it's only because of so many people, but living in a tourist area myself, I know all you need to do is go inland some and TADA or to the non so populated areas, and you are AWAY FROM THAT!! I LOVE living in the city, and yes, tourists greatly support our economy (I live in Maine, Greater Portland area) it's always fun to welcome them, but come the winter, we also celebrate them not being here as much. Are you all gearing up for more tourists to come since likely cruise ships will be allowed back in port? From what I just saw many here usually start in April or May, but nothing is showing til August and it's CRAZY AGAIN til the middle of October, the businesses will LOVE IT!! And we'll all like that!!2

Hi everyone! Must say brain is slightly fried right now. Sunday got together with friends-spent time outside, so gorgeous out. Yesterday got bad news from my dr (my blood pressure is high and I have gained 10 lbs in a year). So cutting out sweets and back to heavy duty Tracking/staying in calorie range (I had been doing a bad job with it). Then my 13 yo got bad news (a mole grew back irregular) so waiting on results for that2
-
@bookieNJ ,,, AWSOME that Sunday you had such a great day!! Love the outdoors!!
So sorry about the high BP, and weight gain, but your plan is GREAT to cut back on sweets and track everything you eat doing what you can to stay in goal range. Remember the BMR we did at the start of the Winter Challenge? That's also a good place to start since you are quite active.
Sure hope D's biopsy is okay. If it's not there's so much they can do. Of course to a 13 year old, will there be a scar can be hard on them. I go through skin cancer often if you have any questions you can email me.
Nice sunny day here today!! WOOHOO!!! A cold day, but its Maine and March,,, LOL Its supposed to be!! By the end of the month it'll be warming up (BOOOOO cause those of you who are familiar with me know I LOVE SNOW!! But, it'll be here on and off til mid April GRIN). I HAD to giggle today we had a small meeting with 3 of us who live here and a younger person who had dropped by a new microphone system for us for the Council to use during meetings and for karaoke. I had that all set up so fast she was amazed, and I connected my phone to it immediately (bluetooth) and we did a few songs to try out the system and rate it. Its a really nice one which we approved of at once. Its FUN being the "techie" in an 55 Plus building though I am FAR from the above knowledgeable average young person. Well ,, LOL MAYBE!! I LOVE technology and putting things together!2 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was rest, weigh and TOPS Day. Down 0.75 lbs! YES I CAN! Today was a cold day with a few flurries but mostly sun. I have decided to write about my journey so far as a program for TOPS. I think it will help others and myself. Played cards with Hubby and Son went home.3 -
Oooo...it's 9:24 p.m. here now and I need to make a grocery list for tomorrow. so this will be short. We've had days of low to mid 70's for a week now, but we'll be in the low 60's tomorrow and this weekend we'll be near freezing for our low on Sunday!2
-
@Cseguin2 ,,, WOOHOO Hey CONGRATS on being down!! YEAH TOPS is working for you!! So happy to read this!! Can you also please send a copy of what you are writing to Ceri ,, and let her know if it's okay to use? We are drumming up new members!! WOOHOO Ahhh enjoy S being home for a few ,, though it's hard too!!
@Dbeau57 ,,, LOL I heard this the other day "Oh the weather is like a lottery ticket, 14, 56, 30, 78, 13. LOL2 -

Good morning, good to see the chatting here, I often read the chat while eating breakfast, or another meal, better then watching all the stress and such of the news. It's been a busy weekend for me, On Friday last my nephew's home burnt down and fortunately they were able to find a home within a couple of days. On Saturday or Sunday will be meeting up with my nephew to give him a gift card. I spoke to him by text last night and he said he lives near Superstore so it will be a gift card for there and he can share with others who live there.
@lavalily I sure would love to visit Hawaii, but heat is not my friend. Maybe one day when this world is not so crazy !! I would love to hear more about your neck of the woods. I am from Vancouver BC Canada. I've been to the Lake District of England as well as Maryland and Pensylvania area - think - Good and Plenty !! lol
I hope you all have a good day today, it will be busy for me, I have volunteer work, and then I have to go downtown to meet my granddaughter - I'll buy us dinner, at a restaurant of her choice. Nice to be able to do that.2 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 -thx! 2 days down, many many to go. Yup I have done the BMR before. I just have to follow through!
Thx for well wishes for daughter. The scar would be basically on her bra strap. Which isn’t bad but still no fun. We would probably wait til dance was over in june (if we could) to schedule any procedures. Enjoy your new technology!0 -
@Lindiemaep ,, HI Linda!! So nice to see you here with us!! Sure hope the volunteer work is lifting you up, and others who you contact, and of course the ones working with you!! I'll be doing some myself in a tiny bit. Volunteer work is so important to us all. As Acts 20:35 "There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving." Oh the News is quite stressful right now!! I am happy to read your nephew has been able to find a place so fast!! That's GREAT!!
LOL on the good and plenty it made me chuckle
ENJOY the meal with your GD!!
@Bookienj ,, I have a new scale, its so strange, but it's telling me how many calories to eat a day so I can hit my goal of weight loss for the year. YO the things these scales can now do!! It's so cool!! It was @Catwmncat and @DLBEASYRIDER who told me about it.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R29FDWX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Will it lead me in the right directions? It does them. So we'll see!! But hey as said, I LOVE technology.
Oh cool that the scar will be for your D where the bra strap is. If it's really small, to her it won't be, but in time it will be. I have many scars from the various ways they remove them. But, I am now OLD and who cares about scars? I'm alive, but that's EASY for an older adult to say. I am SURE if I were a teen of any age,, just being teen most things are very emotional. Hopefully you'll hear back soon.
Today is a LOW KEYED DAY, but they need to be. The best of each day is waking up. From there it's a bonus! Let's all think of at least 3 positive things in our day. This can help us so much at a time the world is extremely stressful (my GD had to fill her oil tank yesterday 1,000$$ YO!! And we know it'll last much more than a month unless it quickly warms up) everything is going up so rapidly.1 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 I live on the Big Island of Hawaii so we don't get the number of tourists that they get in Honolulu on the island of Oahu. We're more country-style LOL For a while, I had a little home on an acre of land at the bottom of the island. Yes, we will have cruise ships again, but we only get one a week here, again, not like Oahu. They mainly stay down around the harbor where we don't go shopping anyway. For the most part, they don't bother me unless I want to go out to eat. Yes, I know there are other areas of the USA that get a lot of tourists, and we don't get more than anyone else, thank goodness!0

happy wednesday everyone! it is a mild and mostly cloudy day here today. my daughter says hello to all! she has a school break coming up next week. for a part of that break, she will be working at her part time job. she really enjoys going to her part time job and she works there every chance she gets. she works at a library and she is so happy to go to work when she has work. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i have been for a walk and i feel great! i will be doing some dancing later on after supper. i already did some strength training this morning. i try to do some strength training at least three times a week. i enjoy being active and eating healthy. i find that i have more energy when i am active, eat healthy and get enough sleep every day. i am still doing some early spring cleaning at my place. it keeps me busy and it keeps me from wanting to have foods like chips and cookies. have a great day, everyone1 take care and stay safe.1

@LindieMaeP It sounds to me like you may have visited Lancaster Pennsylvania and perhaps eaten at Good N' Plenty Restaurant and Buffet. I hope you had the opportunity to visit Kitchen Kettle Village while there. That is my favorite place to shop.2
