Happy Monday!? It's been a long week already! LOL I learned two things: I am not patient enough to wait 3.5 minutes for my lunch to cook and the little cup of noodles and sauce at the store is really good and really filling. Also, I was kinda hangry today.
Back later to say more. Must go make copies.2 -
Good morning!
Too funny, @KateNkognito 3.5 minutes can be a lifetime when you are hangry!! LOL
Things are good here. Can't really complain. The weather is still really hot, humid and annoying. We are in such a drought here that the leaves are already falling off the trees. They shouldn't be doing that for another couple of weeks in this area. Sigh...
Just had my Kind Breakfast Protein bar and I really have to say they make me feel full and satisfied for quite a while. I likey.
Going to get back to my projects here. Have a good day!1 -
We'll, I never made it back here yesterday. Good news on the weight loss/fasting front: I am slowly losing weight. Very slowly. I skip breakfast almost every day. So I am back to 18:6 again. Not my favorite fasting protocol, but apparently it is working for me right now. I think if I track what I eat during the 8, I will lose faster.
@Meghan509 I have noticed some trees losing leaves a bit earlier this year, too.
@MelodiousMermaid Just keep swimming! Imperfect progress is still progress.
Must go set up for my next class. Have a good one y'all!1 -
Good morning!
Just one of those days today. Totally NOT feeling it! At least traffic was easy this morning. Would rather be home in my more comfy clothing, sleeping in a little later. Sigh... My boss is getting new office furniture today in to tomorrow, so I have to go and empty out her filing cabinet. just not feeling it...
@KateNkognito happy to hear about your weight loss! I like 18:6 a lot when I was home during the lock down. When I am in the office, my coworker promptly shows up each day to sit and have lunch by 12:30pm which makes things a little difficult. Lately I just eat my little breakfast protein bar because that is what I am craving lately. Fasting will be there when I am ready.
Hope you have a good day. See you soon.

@Meghan509 I hope tomorrow is better!
People are a pain today. I have been grumpy. Going to watch a Christmas movie or something. Grr.1 -
Good morning!
Today is okay. LOL Could be better.
Today the furniture guys showed up at the crack of dawn to deliver and install the new furniture for our office. Have to do it early or late, per our office landlord's guidelines. All the proper access was submitted but the guys still had to hang around and wait for 30 minutes. I was getting ready for work and they are calling my work cell asking to be let in. UGH. Our office landlord or security was supposed to let them in. I sent an email this morning to the landlord to ask what happened. Still waiting a response.
Alright, been sitting here on this page in draft mode for way too long. Let me run and I will see you guys soon!1 -
Friday Eve! I really need a weekend. Meghan, it sounds like you do too. 6 more school days then a long weekend.2
-
Good morning!
Friday Eve is the best saying, ever!
Happy Friday! Weeee!
Yes, yesterday was one of those days. Sigh... I got an apology from our office landlord for not letting the office furniture delivery guys upstairs when they should have.
I am with you, @KateNkognito looking forward to having an extra day off for Labor Day weekend!
Supposedly our friend visiting from CA via his motorcycle is coming this Saturday in to Sunday. Fingers crossed. I like company and entertaining.
Nice weather on tap due to zero rain lately. Just trying to enjoy the last bit of summer!
Have a great weekend and see you soon!!1 -
We are supposed to have much nicer weather for the next week. Looking forward to not cooking while I have bus duty in the afternoon.
@Meghan509 Enjoy your weekend and entertaining!
I am going to go get all wild and crazy and clean house and do laundry. Then I am really going to ramp it up with Netflix and sewing. I know, everyone is jealous. Have a lovely weekend! 1 -
Hi @Meghan509 and @KateNkognito , hope the weekend is proving to be a good one for you both. Meghan, hope your friend was able to arrive safely and that you're having fun, and Kate, hope that you were able to have a very productive day!
This weekend is more on the quiet side, which I'm totally ok with. Got a ton of groceries (ok, that was an exaggeration), but I'm hoping that other than a quick stop for some produce or maybe a bit of fancy cheese, I'll not need to really shop for a few weeks.
Fasting went reasonably well this week. Or as well as it could as far as Wednesday was concerned... it was a tad on the miserable side as I tried to make it through a splitting headache, but I was able to stick to the schedule, so it's a win. Fasting is going to be my best buddy ever this coming Wednesday, as my daughter and I are going to be helping with a fundraiser for her marching band at a local pizza buffet place, and I totally plan to indulge. They have basic calorie/macro info available online so I've pre-planned it and while it won't be the fasting day I'd normally have (low cal), the timing of the fasting will help me keep the overall day's totals in line at or below maintenance. I'm really looking forward to this success!
Despite the hiccups I had after coming back from my trip, getting back into the fasting routine has showed me that I didn't give up too much ground, so I've been able to set some of the thoughts of my prior post to rest. And also (and more importantly) that it's a tool I can always come back to with success, even if I have a break from it.
Anywho, that's the big stuff from this week. I'll probably see you next weekend in the new month's post!0 -
Good morning!
@KateNkognito your weekend sounds fabulous! I like to be productive too. Sewing sounds fun! My BF's Mom has an old sewing machine of hers put away for when we have more space.
@MelodiousMermaid I am happy to hear the positivity in your post! Losing weight is never easy but with proper planning and balance we can do it and make it work for our daily lifestyle. The pizza party for your daughter sounds fun. Enjoy!
Just a few days left of August, can you believe it?! Looking forward to having some more friends over this weekend for Labor Day holiday. Another couple also invited us over on Sunday for a BBQ. Looking forward to that. Nice weather on tap here.
My BF's friend made it safely to our home on Saturday evening. We caught up for a bit, ordered some take out and had a nice night. He spent the night and left in the late afternoon after we popped over to a local Greek diner for brunch. Good times!
Hope you have a good Monday and a nice week ahead. See you soon!1 -
Monday. 'Nuff said.
@Meghan509 Sounds like you had a good weekend!
@MelodiousMermaid I hope your week goes well! Sounds like you learned something and have good plan for this week.
Power nap during lunch for the win!1 -
Good morning!
School started around this area yesterday, so I noticed more cars on the road today as parents are back in and summer vacations are over. I will keep leaving a little extra time, so I don't stress about traffic!
Not much new here. HOT, HUMID, and trying to make the best of the day when I really don't want to be here (in the office physically). Sigh... Just not feeling it.
Hope you have a good day and see you guys soon.1 -
Meghan, I think just about everyone I have talked to lately has felt the same way. Just not feeling it. Pretty much sums up the last few weeks. Hopefully the long weekend helps.1

Good morning!
Here we are, the last day of August.
How did the summer fly by so fast? Trying not to feel down, but it is hard. This time of year tends to get me.
@KateNkognito today is better! But, yes what a strange summer it has been. Especially for us in the northeast with very little rain but yet they say we are not really in a serious drought. Tell that to our poor lawn. LOL
Alrighty, off to make some travel plans for somebody. Speak soon!1 -
Me!? You're making travel plans for me, Meghan! LOL! It has been a really hot summer. I am SO looking forward to fall! It is my favorite season!
In positive weight loss news: I am going down in fat and up in hydration, according to my fancy scale.1
