Today was a perfect spring day -- high of 60 degrees. The lilacs have the best scent this year. I managed to work outside for five hours. I'll pay for it tomorrow (maybe). Billie had a blast.

@Patti241 ,,, sounds so nice!! I DO LOVE the city. LOL Sometimes I WISH I could see the stars, and have quiet, though QUICKLY it'd drive me crazy!! LOLOL!!
@Bookienj,,,, The numbers are crazy, at some point Covid will be like a cold, is it a bad one? Or a mild one and that'll be it. We'll go on in life , changed, and different, yet the same.
@Cseguin2,,,, Oh I hate a large gain, but a large gain as we get it back it together it also comes OFF fast!! You know to track your food and there's NO DOUBT you can do it!!2 -
Diane: Yeah it can be quiet here.1

@Dianedoessmiles1 -so true! Happy life is pretty “normal” school concerts are back, school musicals, book fairs, summer camp1

Good Evening Everyone!
Today was cold and cloudy to start now the sun has come out. Went for a walk as I had to go to the bank and grab some groceries. I learned very quickly to wear my mask even when outdoors to help protect my lungs from the chilly air. But I still enjoyed being outside. Ended up bringing a cab home as I bought more than I could carry. Calories are really high as we ate fast food for lunch. I really need to be strong about my food plan or I will continue in the wrong direction. Started studying for my food handlers course as I need to have the test taken asap. This puts my school studies on hold but that's ok. There is no time limit on that except the one I put on myself. My client called today to see how I am as everyone was asking about me at TOPS and she wanted to know if I would be coming to clean on Friday. I told her I am doing better and I would let her know tomorrow if I will be there on Friday.2 -
@patti241,,, Sounds rather nice!! I need to explore my own area more. So much deep history here. Also so much beauty. In the areas we all live no doubt we can all say this, so much beauty.
@Bookienj,,, Love when things are in a nice, smooth routine. Are you able to have any ME time? To relax?
@Cseguin2 ,,,,The masks have a few benefits,,, you mentioned one of them. That plus I never caught a cold or the flu over the winter. SO NICE!! I was worried since I catch things rather easily I would. Hmmm fast food can taste so good, it has its place if not that often. I had asked if next week we could stop McD's on the way home, but have since than decided I'd rather have only 1 item ,, not the 4 I usually order. I'll have stuff at home that I can cook up instead that'll be very fast. Nice that you can go at your own speed on school. Awesome you are starting to feel better.2 -

Good Evening Everyone!
Sunny but chilly today. Studied for my food handlers course, worked out, and played cards with Hubby. Also did a few chores. Tomorrow will be a busy day as it is the end of the month.1 -
@Patti241 ,,, HI Patti!! Was it windy there? YO it's STILL HOWLING HERE!! It's been quite a few days.
The harbor isn't usually this rough.
Oh yeah our trees are beginning to BUD!! I always enjoy this, but they'll cover up my view some ,, LOL Until October/November.
@Cseguin2 ,,, We went out for a walk at 6 PM tonight it was 48, but only felt like 40. That was our high today. Brrr to us both and many others!! Do you dread that all of a sudden in May or June we'll BIPASS the 60's and go straight into the 70's and 80's? I DO!! Glad you had a busy day. Hope tomorrow goes well.

Diane: It was windy all day yesterday.1

@cseguin2-glad you are doing better. Fast food is hard but I have found either doing a baked potato and nuggets or a kids meal seem to work calorie wise-or grilled chicken sandwich skip fries2

Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a beautiful sunny spring day. Went for a walk to run errands. Hubby took a cab. I beat him there and I took the longer way along the river. Anyways other than a little bit more of exercise it was more of a rest and study day. My core is a little sore so taking it easy. I hope we don't skip straight to summer but I don't mind if it does. Gives me a reason to look forward to winter. I planed my meals mostly well today with to meals being take out. I will still be in range. Son messaged me and told me he was coming tonight after work but then messaged me that he was not as they have to work tomorrow. So now he isn't coming at all. Oh well plans with him will have to wait. Work and rest come first for him.1 -
@Patti241,,, Today was also very windy! YO!! Tomorrow they're saying a little less. Hopefully Sunday will be calmer and warmer. For you also.
@Bookienj, nice choices!! Most places have a nutritional menu with calories etc. I love that!! It helps me out so much. Often times when I look at this, I just continue home and make something. NOT ALWAYS, but often.
@Cseguin2 ,,,, LOL On your beating H when you walking him a cab. Sounds like a nice day. GLad you are taking care of your core, hmmm I agree it's going to JUMP straight into summer. Happens it seems quite a bit more now with global warming.
A nice day was had! I did some volunteer work this AM, it went nicely. Met with a friend, we did errands for about an hour. At home Izzy's been WAY to cute, but yeah that's Izzy. And here I am!2 -
Diane: Yesterday was a nice day. Started off cold but warmed up. The same is for today.1
-
@Dianedoessmiles1 -so true! I had Wendy’s two nights in a row. Should have skipped the second time1
-
@Patti241 ,,, Same here!! LOL Are we both on the east coast? New England? Brrrr it's cold out! I am not going out today, it's a PJ DAY!! WOOHOO I LOVE PJ DAYS!!
@Bookienj,,, was the 2nd time for convince? Craving? Family? LOL my family suddenly realizes my sense of SICK SICK SICK humor (They have the same thing! LOL NO wondah!) they invited me out next week after my Aunt's funeral (weird when you look at that word "Fun" eral. There's NO fun in that!) to a bar (I do not drink, but they don't overdrink) and food. So I doubt that I'll go to that part, but the food ,,, I'll eat before I go. I love my hamburgers so much more than the best restaurant! I make them ahead of time, freeze them. I pop them into my airfryer for 7 mins one side at 350 , turn it over for 5. DONE!! I also add fries to the basket at the same time, and a 1/2 serving. It's a great way to save calories and money. AND I can fix a salad too. YUMMY!!2 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was partly cloudy with a few rain drops. Went to the farmers market. Bought plants, veggies and some treats. When I got home I made kale chips also studied for my food safety course. Son showed up just before lunchtime and we all headed to the mall and did some shopping and had fun.2 -
Diane: It was a little warmer yesterday. Today they are calling for showers.1
-
@Dianedoessmiles1 -first time was convenience and I planned for it. Totally worked nutrition wise. Second was definitely family then convenient. Knew it was going to be a rough time was getting Dancer girl food anyway. We both got kids happy meals so it wasn’t too horrid of a mistake. Good thinking about the funeral after meal.1

Good Evening Everyone!
Today started out cool but became beautiful and warm. Did a little gardening. My son helped me take in all the alcohol bottles/cans in for refund and grab a couple things at the grocery store. Struggled with getting exercise in today as I just didn't want to do it. But I won the war with myself and got most of it done. Not sure what all is planned for tomorrow but hope to be productive
Oh yeah I also got some decluttering done today by getting rid of the liquor bottles/cans.2 -
@Cseguin2 ,, So glad you are able to go to the farmers market!! The things they sell at ours at the moment are from last year or if they have a greenhouse that's WAY better. More and more are finally doing greenhouses, hopefully soon we'll see more fresh products available year round. I have a cousin who has a greenhouse,,, anyone wanna join me? How do the kale chips taste? Can it be done with other things than Kale? If so, would you mind sharing the recipe with us? I'm still newish to this type of thing. NICELY done on the bottles and cans!! Glad Son is willing to help you with that. Some days it can be hard to make ourselves push through. Nicely done!!
@Patti241 it was so nice out today!! We hit 51, felt like 48, but WITHOUT THAT FIERCE wind, I saw MANY in shorts. But of course LOL we see some in shorts during a blizzard in Jan. I am NOT one of those, though you'll often see, well more often than not in a sweatshirt instead of a coat or jacket if it's in the 20's. WHAT WILL I DO in the SUMMER? I believe running without clothing is offensive? LOL
@Bookienj,, Grabbing food that the kids will eat, that happens!! Sometimes it's just not easy, so we do as we do for that reason. Seems so long ago I'd take the kids down (My Grands) to McD's just so that one of them would eat. The others are very good eaters, they were TEENS!! At that time I enjoyed that food myself so I was really fine with it. I preferred Wendy's for the largest sandwich they made, now that horrifies me!! GREAT CHOICE with the kids meals which are not bad at all nutritionally compared to other choices. I've been craving a Big Mac,,,, I rarely get one, when I do that now I get a cheeseburger, no mustard or ketchup, but add Mac Sauce. That works also. Though the nuggets are a better choice. WTG!! WTG!!!

Good morning everyone. Getting ready for my morning walk.3

Good Evening Everyone!
To me kale chips taste something like roasted pumpkin seeds. You can make chips out of anything almost. Here is the link to the recipe I use: https://thebusybaker.ca/sea-salt-and-garlic-kale-chips/
Today was cloudy with some rain. I referred to today as my big push as it is the day before I weigh. Lots of exercise. Even tried to go for a walk but ended up having a coughing fit so cut it short and came home. I am not sure what the scale will show tomorrow at TOPS but it doesn't really matter. I am just glad to be going back.3 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 -oh that’s cool. I never thought to add Macsauce.
Tonight we did quesadillas at home with leftovers—mine had extra salsa1 -
-
Diane: The walk was good.
Good morning everyone3 -
happy tuesday everyone! it is a partly sunny day here today, with a chance of rain later this afternoon. my daughter says hello to everyone! she works at her part time job after school today. 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 after supper. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.2

Good Evening Everyone!
You're welcome for the recipe! Never thought about dipping them in vinegar.
Today it rained all day. It was rest, weigh and TOPS day. For TOPS records I gained 1.75 lbs. For MFP it counts as a loss of 2.9 lbs. Either way I am ok with it being sick was not fun. But the gain was not bad for 2 weeks. Not much movement and so far no decluttering. I will try to get some done tonight. Other wise my day was good. On April 19 my son weighed 271.8. That day I gave him a goal to aim for by the end of the month to be down to 265. Today he weighed in at 262! He was so proud of himself. Being back at work is definitely helping him to keep losing. I am so proud of him!3 -
@Patti241 ,,, AWESOME Patti!! So cool!! good DAY!!
@Cseguin2 ,,, Glad that on MFP the weight shows a loss!! WOOHOO!! And also for your S!! It's so unfair, LOL men lose so much easier!! A friend was cutting out so many things from her diet, her H? He cut down on 1 candy bar a day and ONE serving of chips, he lost like crazy, she barely lost. It's just the way it is.
Tomorrow I'll probably not be on. Hopefully I will be Thurs, Fri and Sat will be hard days, not sure, but maybe. Tomorrow is foot surgery #24, Friday is my Aunts funeral (it's local, but with my foot,,, I'm NOT supposed to be around on it, but it took from Oct til now to have the foot surgery, I did not want to reschedule it) Saturday ,,, driving an hour each way to go to my friends Moms funeral. We'll be the only 2 (her sister MIGHT tie in on Zoom) no service, just plunking her into the hole, and that's it. The driving will be hard on my foot, but it'll be a fun drive. THANKFULLY it's my left foot for the surgery. I don't drive with it.4
