Summer Buzz Around the Airport Lounge

As part of my exercise over the whole summer not just this challenge
Providing weather is dry I’m planning to walk 15 mins each way to my church and do 30 mins weeding the photos above are after and before a whole hour weeding but that is too much for the old knees. Question is does hands and knees weeding count towards my exercise total during the challenge?

Diane: It is supposed to be 90 degrees today. One step at a time after surgery.2

Good Morning Airport Friends;
I hope you are all doing well this weekend. Today is a busy day for me. I have to work down at the local Bazaar we started doing last month. I am part of the Pride Organization in this city and I am on the board there. So we are having a spot at the bazaar to get the word out about our organization and the stuff we have for sale and what we are doing.
@cormierannie - Glad you enjoyed the dance party. Nice getting a walk in too.
@CSEGUIN2 - I love walks. I really do. I am glad you went and had a good long one.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Love your haircut. I really do enjoy being WL. I started the challenge before we moved over to MFP. It has been a great experience.
@Lessennan - You are doing great. Being on your knees like that though must really hurt. Make sure you have some type of pillow or gardening foam mat to use. It will help.
Well it is time for me to get ready to go to the Bazaar and work my shift. I hope you all have a great day.

@Dianedoessmiles1 here is a link where you can purchase one hard copy of the magazine no shipping and handling:

@pmbach1 That is amazing and you should be proud of your accomplishment! I'm wondering if the magazine is in the stores yet since it is the July 11 issue. I will be watching for it. I enjoy the magazine on occasion but it is very expensive.
@Lessennan You bet hands and knees weeding counts as exercise. I kneel on an old pillow to save my knees!
@Dianedoessmiles1 You look great! I am so happy for answered prayer and you are doing well!2 -
71 degrees, cool and cloudy here in Kailua-Kona HI. Just the way I like it!3
-
@cosmiccurves I like your graph - congrats on the direction you’re going…feels so good to know you’re doing it roght, doesn’t it!
@pmbach1 - Cover Girl! Looking good!
@ceriusly1 - As a younger mom, I read several magazines, but now they are the price of a hard-cover book! What gives?
Sunny Sunday, foggy brain. Our new neighbor’s 2 Standard Poodles are robbing me of my night’s sleep. Someone called the Sheriff on Friday, to no avail. I am hoping those doggies get trained soon.
First magazine is available at Discount mags. 8-)
All, y’all - have a great day!3 -
@pmbach1, thanks for sharing your story and the magazine. Super impressive! I have Kindle Unlimited and the issue was available for no extra $ on my iPad. ✅
I’ve never read this magazine before and found lots of useful and timely info — 🤗2 -
good afternoon everyone! congrats@pmbach1 for sharing your story and the magazine! it is a mostly cloudy day here today, with rain on and off throughout the day. then it will be cooler weather for a few days. my daughter says hi to all. 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 as the weather gets cooler here. have a great day, everyone! Take care and stay safe.1

@Lessennan ,, WOW nice job Nan!! That SURE DOES count as exercise,,, since it's weeding, and we weed the garden if you'd like it makes sense to put it under gardening.
@Patti241,, ,we weren't to far behind you today on temps, we hit 83. Now at 10 it's 68 with a low of 64, likely I'll run the AC all night. LOL I DO NOT like it hot in here. I had lived in FL for a little bit. I had moved down in the summer, when October came around GF I WAS SO COLD!!! I called my Mom (In Maine) "PLEASE send me my WINTER coat." She laughed to hard, but I was not joking. LOL In November I had decided "if I am cold, I am going BACK to Maine because I LOVE SNOW as we well know!
@Tabatha_Cain ,,, Another team is looking for a WL, would you mind a little bit about why you enjoy it? Either you can write to Ceri (Ceriusly1) or put it in here, she reads the feed daily. WOOHOO someone here may see how much fun it is, that it's NOT hard, nor does it take a huge chunk of time to do, and they may decide "I CAN DO THAT!!" AND WOOHOO being a leader all is so much FUN!! We get so much more out of it, than we put into it. As an OAL and CL, I am on the computer A LOT with both positions, but I get so much more out of it even with this. You KNOW you're helping others, members really appreciate you, your fellow leaders appreciate you so much. It's different being a leader in that, but the same as being a member. I am not expected to "do better" I AM expected to be ME!
@pmbach1 ,, THANKS Pam!! Just ordered it!! WOOHOO can't wait to read your story!! OTHERS: Since it was my first time ordering from them instead of 4.99 it was 3.91 with NO cost as Pam said for shipping or taxes etc. @Ceriusly1 ,,,, glad I checked it out. I do not mind 4.00 for a magazine if I am really going to read it. I have a hard time seeing print on paper, electronically I'm fine though, but Pam it'll be worth the strain to do so.
@Ceriusly1 ,,,, I'm a HOLDING MY BREATH to see if this really works. I looked great 2 weeks after the 1st surgery, than KABOOM!! We also know I've been through this before, but right now I feel pretty good!! I see the foot Dr tomorrow. I am sure it looks good because I can almost put my full weight on it. TY TY TY TY ALL for caring , prayers are something I strongly believe in.
@Lavalily ,, Is that your normal type of temp? OH MAN I'd LOVE THAT for 3/4 of the year (Than I need snow! LOL) Sounds PERFECT!!
@Marileighea ,,, OH MAN!! I'd go NUTS if someone had their dogs out all night!! Sure, let them out to pee, but take them BACK IN!! And in the AM walk them instead of at 5 AM letting them out in the yard to BARK AWAY!! NOT the way to be a pleasant neighbor!! So sorry!! Where I live there are around 10 dogs, all of them very well behaved. LOL WE DO have our favorites though, but they are ALL lovely. I am not sure how many cats are in here (High Rise) i am guessing probably 20ish. But, cat's do not bark (Though some THINK they are dogs,,, as I glance over at Izzy Kitty) LOL
@MCTortoise ,,,, I Tried to do it that way, but LOLOLOL I didn't see anything but a script for a year. I do pay amazon for the year (well monthly) and also I pay Kindle (Shouldn't this be included in Amazon????) so I am surprised I couldn't find it. CONGRATS sides it's only 3.91 so I am okay with that.
@Cormierannie,,,, It'll be a little bit cooler tomorrow with showers or a little bit of actual rain. WE NEED IT!! We are about 4"s down in the area I live.
OOPS FORGOT TO FEED IZZY!! LOL she NEVER Begs, but will come out look at me, and walk right away. LOL I know what she means.3 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today is another late one. We had to take the little munchkin home so we went to A&W for dinner. We all hung out and had a great time. Also got to see the little munchkins "baby"(little brother). Also had some great walks, took some time to study and also had to do some cleaning ready for baking this week which starts tomorrow. We are baking from 9 am - 3 pm. Such a busy week. Here is a pick of little munchkin in a tree during fellowship after the church service.

Good Morning Airport Friends:
Well this is the day we all go back to work for the week. Back to the grind as some would call it. I am happy to be going back to work as it has been mellow at my job for some time and it is nice to see my co workers.
@cormierannie - Glad to hear the weather will be cooler for you. That is a good thing
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I can definitely do something like that for you. Here it is.
@Ceriusly1 - Wanted to help you find some WL's, Here is what I have to say about it:
Being a weight leader allows you to help the team. It allows me to record the weight, give reminders to people about logging their weight, and sending emails if they are late. It allows me to cheer on those that may need a little extra encouragement if they are struggling. It literally takes me all of 45 minutes to record peoples weights on the spreadsheet. It is not demanding at all. I find it fun to work with the numbers. You might even be able to set up a thread that will allow you to give a shout out to those who have consistently lost or maintained in your team. That is what I do. Those are posted each week and recognized for their hard work.
@CSEGUIN2 - He looks like he is having so much fun. I am sure he loves climbing trees. He looks like he is ready for his next big adventure.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day.

@Tabatha_Cain Thank you so much, Tabatha! I will copy that and post it to the announcement.2

Good morning everyone!!
With every day that passes, I grow increasingly more excited about my first challenge with you all! We were able to finish moving all of our things from our old duplex to our new home, so all that is left is some cleaning and patching at the old place before Wednesday, and then finally we get to focus on unpacking and organizing our new home, which I am beyond ready to do. I need to nest so badly!
I am making sure to do the countdown activities as they come and will work on getting a blog going full on, right now I just have an intro post. This past weekend was also our wedding anniversary, and today is the start of my 34th trip around the sun so we have lots to celebrate, and I am logging everything as we go!
Happy Monday to everyone, so ready for this flight!!

Gorgeous day today, a little on the hot side later, but AC helps with that - 2 loads of laundry done and now I can watch some interesting things on line, play a game or two to keep cool and get my exercise activity in slowly. After the sun goes down I might go to the park, unless the skeeters are out and then NOPE not gonna go lol
Went with a friend( Sister in my Congregation) to where she gets her weekly farmshare and got to taste some veggies out of the farm garden, and got some pics to share - bottom right corner, chickens, and you can feed them, they leave feed out so you can feed them veggies !!
I hope you all have a successful and momentous Monday, make it count eh !!

Good Evening Everyone!
This is a quick stop in as I am so busy and tired. Baking is for the local fair on Labour Day weekend. I am part of the board and we have a booth that the funds support our scholarships. Day one is in the bag but not with lots of issues. Mom was definitely missed as she kept the tart shell rollers on track. Oh well another learning curve underway as well as another first since Mom passed.2 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope the start of your week is going well. Mine is going great. Things went well yesterday. I am looking forward to July. Things are going really well. I have the Pride Festival in July and I also have the week after I am running in the Color Run 5K race. I am super excited about that. I cannot wait to go to that. I really want to complete it in a decent amount of time.
@cosmiccurves - Congratulations on the new home and Happy Belated Birthday as well. I hope everything went well for you. I do hope your move is a smooth one.
@cormierannie - Enjoy the dancing. Yay on strength training. I need to do some of that myself
@LindieMaeP - I hope you got out for your walk and there were no mosquitos. Nice that you go to taste farm garden veggies.
@CSEGUIN2 - Glad day one is done with minimal issues. It is going to be hard at first but you will do alright. Sounds like you did well.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day.

Hello all leaders! I joined the group a few days ago and haven't heard a thing personally. I can see that this is a group that started on Spark People and you all seem to have your own thing going on here, so I'm thinking I should probably look for another motivational group. Just a heads up as I would imagine I'm not the only MFP member who is confused.2

@mar1128wp The MFP Boards are not easily organized, but everything is explained somewhere on this page. It can be confusing but asking questions gets all the answers. I am happy to see your post, and I see that you did choose a team. Team invitations will go out starting Wednesday, 6/29 as the leaders have time to send them. There is a practice week starting Saturday morning @ 12 AM. Once you are on your team everything falls into place easily and the fun will start!
Here are some links that should be helpful to you and others.

@Ceriusly1 Thank you for all of the information! I'm sure it will fall into place once the challenge starts and a practice week is a bonus! Regarding posting points for the challenge, this is what I am understanding:
For the Fitness and LTGL activity - post by "end of day" (to avoid confusion) Friday. Weight post by "end of day" Saturday. Is this correct?
Question: If I post my weight on Friday (so I get it in and don't forget, say it's 210) and Saturday's weight reporting is a bit better, (say 209), can I update with my Saturday weight?3 -
@itladyee The cut-off time for posting numbers is 11:59 PM Friday Night. 12:00 AM Saturday is the first moment of the new week and a new Destination.
You can post or update your weight any day but no later than 11:59 PM Saturday. The times are in your local time and judged by the time stamp on the post.
