    Good Evening Everyone!

    Keep up the great movement!

    Today was a nice day temp wise. Lots of clouds and some rain. Got my walk in and seen that the *kitten* willows have popped. Not as much movement today as I do not want to over do the cardio that I am not used to. Also did some chores and played cards with Hubby. On to the rest of my night. Oh yeah got my hard copy of my fixed exam. My overall grade average is sitting at 96%.

    A lot of rain today making me grateful for all the plush grass and tons of wildflowers starting to come up in the woods.

    @Patti241 ,, WOOHOO today we hit 61!! Loved it!! We did a walk, have to go slowwww because of ME!! But my friend was willing to do that. :smile: GLAD you are having a break from ALL THE RAIN!
    @LIndiemaep,,, Oh cats are so FUNNY!! But, yes they'll NOT want to go into anything that's like a carrier!! Poor Izzy after last weeks FIASCO at the vets!! I am so seriously looking for another vet. This one was SO GOOD since 79, but the move to the "NEW AND LARGER" place ,, well they've lost what they always had, our pets interests at heart. Now it's simply a BUSINESS!! NO TY TY TY!! That lamb looked good, though hmmm I've never tried it,, you know the "Mary (My Moms name) had a Little Lamb,, " Song. LOL I just can't. LOL We are strange beings!!
    @Cseguin2 ,,,, Glad you didn't over do the cardio! Smart move!! Awww on the Willow trees popping!! I LOVE Willow trees!! We had a good size one in the yard as I grew up. Things aren't quite green yet, I am sure bit and bits will start soon. The crocus plants are just starting up! We could still get snow, but not much from here on out. LOL SO THEY SAY!! I was giggling at the "Other Portland" today out west. Our Portland as written above 61 and SUNNY! WOOHOO!!
    @Novembergail ,, LOVE that picture!! Indeed we NEED rain to have our very pretty flowers, for gardens, birds, well for LIFE.

    Tomorrow I go and have a tube up my nose, into my stomach, drink water,,, it'll come out and a smaller one will go in. I get to come home with that one, for 24 hours, than I go back in and out it'll come. Weds will be a HAPPY DAY!! PLUS the cribbage tournament is starting up again!! WOOHOO!! I am a 2 time winner, I DO NOT WANT TO WIN AGAIN!! Yet in all good conscience I can't throw a game, if the person who beats me as we play, wins I celebrate it so hard with them!! I LOVE THAT!! There ought to be quite a few who show up to play since "at the moment" the virus isn't in our area much. In the state of Maine only 3 people are on vents with it. Since my cousin's Hubby died about 4 weeks ago,,,, it's so scary. A BBF Mom died in Feb from it. Let's stay safe!

    @Dianedoessmiles1 your such a trooper and I promise not to send you anything that will make you laugh or make you smile or feel uncomfortable, but being who you are, I know you will handle it. All in all, still gonna say a prayer for you ... it's so close eh !! One day I have to get to your Portland, butnot today - the numbers are still not good enough for me to get on a plane, and well, people are not always honest, for what they think are a good reason. One day .... oh and Mary had a lil lamb - once when I got lamb chops my grand thought I was butchuring bambi.. that's how much she knew between lamb and deer LOL deer is not bad, if done right .. other wise too gamey !!

    @Lindiemaep ,, One more day closer!! THANKFULLY!! Oh MANY are NOT honest with getting on planes and other events. I know someone who went to a family funeral back in Dec (In the south though she's from Maine ,,she had flown down) her brother was also there, he flew in from Denver. There IS a way to not show a fever, simple, ,, shoot even the kids in the 2nd grade had been taught "take a Tylenol". So he had flown ,, was with the entire family at the funeral (again he tylenoled it) over the next 2 weeks, 2 MORE Family members DIED from his selfishness!! Many others were infected. His response? "Well then they shouldn't of been there!" Needless to say his family is not in communication with him. Oh UGH I grew up eating moose and deer!! I DO NOT LIKE IT!! I did not as a kid, but my Mom had a full time job, and yet the thing she married INSISTED dinner BE ON THE TABLE AT 6!! NOT A MINUTE LATE EITHER! So she was literally throwing things into pans. Most of the time it was okay ,, sometimes NOT okay. My brother "claims" to cook it right, I just can't get myself to eat,,, BAMBI!! LOL or BULL WINKLE!!

    I post a GIF picture by clicking the windows key and the period key on my keyboard at the same time. That brings up a menu and I simply type in what I want and it provides me with some choice, no need for me to save it, its a one time thing. If I don't like what it pops up, I reword it. The windows key is between the Ctrl and Alt key usually to the left of your space bar.

    So I typed in good night and scrolled and anything with a butterfly will almost always be posted !!

    PS @Dianedoessmiles1 my dad felt the same way about rabbit - and someone told me that aligator tastes like chicken, ya ok, not gonna EVER be on my plate if I can help it !! I was once married to " a thing" and I have learnt to forgive them, so much more peaceful that way.

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Today was rest, weigh and TOPS day. Gained 2.75 lbs. Oh well guess I just have to keep trying each day to do my best. Hubby went to the mall with me today. That was our exercise. Nice and slow for him LoL. Got our friends birthday present, had lunch out and grabbed dinner for home. Also got stuff we needed. Wore Hubby out as he is now sleeping. Oh well quiet evening I guess. Back on track tomorrow. Getting my hair cut off and dyed for a change. Not sure what color I am going to do will have to wait and see. Also it's supposed to rain tomorrow morning but hoping it'll be over in time for my appointment as I take the bus.

    Sorry team,, it's been a rough past few days. I'll be hopefully back in the swing of things tomorrow!!

    PLEASE STAY SAFE!!! Awwww @Novembergail,, I LOVE that little guy!! He's so very very cute!! I showed him to Izzy saying "If you do not purr me to sleep tonight,,,, see that baby kitty? Others need a NEW HOME." She looked away, she KNOWS she's the BOSS!! Hehehehe CLEARLY CATATUDE!! Maintenance came in today to check out stuff I wish to have done, they saw Izzy "How old is your cat?" "She's 11." "No really how old is she?" "She's 11." "She looks so young." Izzy purred, I tried to, but she's better at it. LOL

    @lindiemaep ,,, It may be even easier though that's neat,,, in the Window search I just typed GIF and they ALL popped up!! TY TY TY It's so much easier than looking thru the extensive list of documents I have downloaded!! LOL some year I'll go thru the entire list and delete those I'll not use.
    hc8ccdf7ysvu.gif
    Its so much FUN learning new things!! I've had alligator, and your Dad WAS RIGHT!! Only it seemed to be even more tender. Now octopus I've had and it was NASTY TO ME!! But, in my wacked out imagination I could picture the octopus NOT being IMPRESSED so during the night it reaches out to STRANGLE ME!! LOL 0q5mf1u0iuod.gif

    @Patti241 today was fairly nice, well it wasn't sunny, but it also wasn't nasty out. Though I DID need a jacket on at first outside. Our high was 45 today, but felt like 39. NO WONDAH I needed a jacket!! Crazy crazy weather! Hope it was nice enough today? Do you all find on not so nice days, you turn to doing more housework? I do!! I've decided to hire someone to do the laundry, floors and maybe if it's a not so nice week, grocery shopping once a week for a few hours. It'll be so worth the $$$$ for me to do so.

    @Novembergail,, Oh I'd want to have Joey over A LOT!! LOLOLOL!! OH MY YES!! Such an adorable kitty face!! He's so cute!!

    @Cormierannie,, I love spending time on the water also. I am so very very fortunate in that I live on the harbor. Here's a pic I took one night that I LOVE
    (@Novembergail if you remember how to resize, I'd appreciate that!)
    @Cseguin2 ,, LOVE that you spoiled yourself!! Sometimes we just really need that!! Your hair looks nice, your eyebrows are awesome!! I SHOULD do that,, mine are horrendous, but hey it's a family thing and I love my family.
    @Bookienj,, Hehehehe I was looking at the calendar, and thinking "OH If I were still with the school I'd have ONLY til Friday a half day (AND I MAY OF Vacationed that day! LOL) AND OFF For a WEEK!! Its always a sad time though because it's last real vacation week, and soon school will be out. OUT GOES most of the students and those who don't go on where I was, go to another teacher. Awww I still think of the kids of course, and wonder how are they? Are a few okay? You know it all to well. I do miss the school. ENJOY This week off!! Are you doing a staycation? I LOVE STAYCATIONS more so!! My own comfy bed, not having to eat out or wonder "What will I eat?" other than popping open the fridge or cupboards! NO coming home more tired than when I went.

    I know some of you blog and others you may wish to if you knew others would be reading your blogs? Did you see that @Ceriusly1 has put up a feed on this team for us so we can find each others blogs? I even blogged today just because of this! You may wish to also. Here's the link:

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Today was sunny but extremely windy. We have been under a wind warning. I am running extremely late today. Started out with waking up really early and not being able to get back to sleep. Studied, had breakfast, and exercised. Went with Hubby as he was having 2 teeth removed surgically and need me to accompany him home. Then went to get his prescriptions, ordered lunch. And started on the chores. Those got mostly done. Then went to our friends to visit and give here, her birthday gift. Didn't get home till late and still had to have dinner. Caved and ordered so that I could concentrate on tracking and checking in with my groups/teams. Will be a late night.

    Home from camping. I had so much fun, but nights were COLD. Edgewater Bar Campground is right on the river and the sites are not powered. This meant we couldn't run the furnace overnight or the battery would be dead. Shivers, night temperatures hovered around zero and the mornings were a little frosty. I wore several layers of clothes to bed and piled on extra blankets... even had the dog up on the bed to throw off some heat. Poor doggy, she was shivering this morning.

    Our friends had the campsite next to us, and it was wonderful to visit with them after staying apart for so long. Day time we hiked and evenings we had a campfire before dinner. Our regular hiking buddies joined us for a day. I feel recharged!

    @CSEGUIN2 You are quite a motivator. Next time I walk to the store I will note the number of steps to get there, and the time it takes. What is Booster Juice? I have heard of it but never tried it. Nice bike, eyebrows and hair! Hubby is my colorist since covid.

    @EjoyEvelyn Community always stay open/public. My sleep apnea, CPAP, borderline diabetes disappeared when I lost weight. I am finding it easier to find my way in MFP too. So true - add heavier weight foods at each meal to aid in satiety. The raw freggies are satisfying.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 I agree cats are much easier to care for. I love the picture of the marina. I hope you get your surgery soon. The GI surgery sounds quite serious if it's interfering with my breathing. I'll look for your recipe blog, not sure how to find it though. I am sure a tube up your nose is not as much fun as it sounds. I had a lot of BAMBI and BULL WINKLE when I was a kid. My dad did make a good grav though. Do you all find on not so nice days, you turn to doing more housework? NO!!! I hope you find someone to help you.

    Try a new crib game - 10 Card Crib. It's started here. https://debitcardcasino.ca/games/2018/04/17/cribbage-rules-canada/

    @peppikaye I wish you all the best in the 5%

    @Patti241 Hi Patti! How are you doing in week 1?

    @macrat12 I love the quote True success doesn't come from luck. It comes from intentionally doing something everyday to add to your overall excellence. Also - Turn your housework or chores into a fun form of exercise. I'll try haha. Good one - Find things to push yourself and do what you once thought was impossible. Another good one - If you just wake up one day and start, you made it past the hardest part! There will never be the perfect time to start.

    @bookieNJ April showers bring May flowers. I never check the incline on my treadmill (dreadmill), will let you know when I get to 5.

    @marg750me How are you doing?

    @cormierannie Hi to you, your daughter, and budgies. That's so good that you volunteer at tennis. I am donating money to the Red Cross for the refugeees.

    @LindieMaeP I enjoy your pictures.

    @hayds342 You have probably broke in your new hiking boots.

    @Mango1960 I wish you all the best this spring. You will build momentum.

    @NovemberGail The flowers in the picture look like snowdrops? What a good looking kitty.

    @aalley5 Hi how are you?

    I am on the Thinner Winners Team. I've been home today and lazed away the morning, time to get moving!

    I'll be back either later tonight, or more likely tomorrow. It's a busy day, evening. In order to do tonight, I need to go as easy on my body as I possibly can.

    I am curious though to help out @Ceriusly1 ,, did anyone happen to keep a copy of the SPARKPEOPLE Goodies? THANKS AHEAD Of time!

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Booster Juice is a healthy restaurant. I have never had it till recently and found out I really enjoy one of there smoothies and their chicken chipotle wraps.

    Today has been a great day! All planned workouts done. Even went for a bike ride and a small walk. Also got some things around the house done. Didn't end up going to work as my clients niece tested positive with COVID and they had been together. Son is here for the weekend. Still have to make 2 batches of hotcross buns tomorrow. Also going to the farmers market in the morning.

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Today has been a beautiful sunny spring day. Although cold this morning. It's been a very crazy busy day. Started the first batch of hotcross buns. Went to the farmers market with my Son, then went to the grocery store. Came home and finished the first batch and did the second batch. As the first batch didn't turn out as I messed up and then burnt them some so had to make a third batch. So I had run back to the store to pick up more supplies. Took my bike that time. Came home and completed my last batch of hotcross buns and of course those turned out the best. It was my first year making them with out Mom. I am happy with how well they turned out. Late afternoon I went to help a neighbor with some typing. Finally getting time to rest. All other exercise is non-existent today.

    Happy Easter!!! The lilacs are coming out just in time for a centerpiece.

    @csequin2: love your bike and so glad that you are enjoying the ride. I also enjoyed hot cross buns today. Congrats that your mom's recipe turned out so well.
    @Dianedoessmiles1: Glad you like JoJo. If my cats find out, they'll be jealous. Izzy has the sweetest eyes.
