Good afternoon everyone, the campers are now safely home and Amigo is in my room on my bed chilling out - it's hot and the A/C will have to be put on. I have been busy all morning shopping for this and that and then prepping mushrooms to freeze - they are in the freezer now and in time will be transfered to a freezer bag - they will be handy for cooking through out the week(s) depending on on what they are used for.
@cormierannie nice to be able to assist a friend, and I am sure they appreciated your help! Enjoy your dancing !!
@Patti241 hope your day went good although you were up early - I was up at 5 as usual ... great time to just chill out with a coffee eh
@Lessennan my son laughed too when he realised I might trip on it and go head first into the closet - so he took it out of the way. I really do hope to get a mattrice that is a 10" and not the 14" I have. I could take it off the bed frame, but not willing to cause damage to the boxspring underneith the mattrice. I hope your aunt was able to use a stool safely ! BUT a heigh bed is great for stretches when you have to dangle your leg off the side - that helps the hip flexors to stretch out and I am doing that stretch for this week's challenge. Hope you had a good Tuesday
@Tabatha_Cain I so wish I could spend more time with her, she did not stay with me but decided to go home to "do things" so we had maybe an hour together. She is very busy, with activities that she enjoys, but nothing I would enjoy. She does do arts and crafts, she also does crochet wire jewellry which she sells from time to time and she is also a DND Master (Dungeons and Dragons) so that keeps her up all night and busy. If I may ask, how did your doctor's appointment go ?
@cosmiccurves it is good the low carb diet is working for you both and you are both adjusting nicely to it. There are too many carbs in my fridge and cupboards so shopping this month will not include carbs unless they are fresh and from the garden. Mushrooms and onion will always be in my diet but I can let go of bread. I used to buy a lowcarb bread but they don't make it anymore. It's hard to find lowcarb bread around here, so I can learn to live without that. Let us know, if you wish, how things are going.
@Dianedoessmiles1 it is hot again today, 27C at lest and feeling like 28C at 1:14 PM and it will be hotter at 4 PM - Amigo finally ate some food last night and the other human is home now but Amigo is camped out in my room for now. The other human is busy with things. I think Amigo likes the music I play. So peaceful for me, I hope him too. Well meeting tonight should be interesting. It is getting warm in my room and I really do not want the fan on now, as I will need it on during the night. Time to go do my stretch... adios all
PS I really like the save function. I used it for each person I was writing to before moving on. Pretty cool eh !

Happy Tuesday, we got rain(much needed). Went shopping, Don got a lawn mower and trimmer, got my windchimes and we got a cute donkey for our yard. When Don is done fixing the side of the yard I will show you the picture. Have a great evening, hugs and blessings. Darn internet is acting up though.3

Good Evening Everyone!
Yes it's the Harrow Fair. Will have to try and look for that last name. I usually enter. But not this year. Too much going on and never enough time. LoL
Today was not a good day for the scales. Gained 3.25 lbs. But had a great meeting. Got everything done that needed to be done before I left. Am now safely at my destination. Did a little studying and went for a walk to get my dinner. Probably won't be checking in until Monday or Tuesday next week as I will be at the fair grounds most of the time and sleeping the rest. Have all my exercise gear just incase I find time in the mornings.2 -

I also did a blog tonight: https://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Dianedoessmiles1?month=2022083 -
@Tabatha_Cain how did the weigh in go and your visit? One of the best side effects of weight loss is when your mentality shifts, such as becoming less self-concious about your stomach. I absolutely get that and am on that train with you now! Progress pictures, I've realized, have truly helped my brain see the reality for what it is.
@LindieMaeP ooo yes I love mushrooms and onions! Thankfully we can have all the veggies and still be okay carb wise. We get the low carb bread from Costco, it's made a difference in adjusting for sure. What is are some of your favorite dishes/treats to make with your mushrooms?
Love seeing everyone's updates! This week I have been starting work about 2 hours earlier than usual to try and maximize on some extra hours. After the move, we are still playing some catch up on bills and any extra hours I can grab without sacrificing on family time, I'll gladly take! So my usual 4am work starts are now 2am for the next couple of weeks.
Thankfully, I am able to take a little nap between the end of my work day and before house errands and school pick ups. That definitely helps right now.
I have been trying to nail down a good game day dip for opening day of college football for us! I came across this wonderful YouTuber via Pinterest, her name is SaltyCocina, and she has this delicious looking cauliflower dip recipe I want to make. I plan to make us 'tortilla' chips for the dip as well, so if it turns out to be delicious, I'll post a picture and share the recipe! Next Saturday, my husband and I's favorite teams play each other, so I have quite a few dishes I'll be preparing in advance since I will NOT be moving from the couch except during half time during that game! Going to try my hand at a queso fundido recipe for that game. We are fans of each other's teams as well, so this is the rare time that we'll actually be rooting 'against' each other.
all in good fun! We root for Alabama and Texas!

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well. It is hump day today. Half way through the week. It is great. I am super excited. I have to work the resource center tomorrow and then I have to go for set up for my son's birthday party on Friday after work. Then this week I am again busy except for Saturday. Saturday I am free but Sunday and Monday we are busy. So that is a whole new thing. So glad we have Monday off next week due to the holiday.
@cormierannie - Hopefully your get your glasses in that time frame. Mine was more like 14 days. It wasn't a big deal but it was at the same time.
@LindieMaeP - I love DND. I am just not currently playing right now. My doctor appointment went well. They are sending me for an ultrasound to check some things in the female area. But she was happy with my weight loss.
@Kurtize - It is ok that the internet is acting up. It will sort itself out. Rain is always needed. It seems we never get enough of it.
@CSEGUIN2 - Have fun at your destination. I see you went prepared for exercise. I am sorry you had a gain.
@cosmiccurves - Cauliflower dip sounds amazing. My appt went well. I was down a bit from last month. It was good. I have always enjoyed naps when I can get them. Not very often though.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day.
Tabatha2 -
Good morning everyone.3

Happy Hump Day to everyone !! It's another hot one here today - oh boy will fall come soon enough ? No doubt it will come with an over abundance of rain as well, I"ll take it, I got the specs for Noah's Ark and I can build it if needed, but no shovelling that fluffy white stuff that @Dianedoessmiles1 adores, not gonna happen!!
@Patti241 good morning to you as well
@Tabatha_Cain glad your dr's appt went well and they are checking out "female things" we do need that from time to time. Yes my granddaughter Charise loves DND as well as other mystic type games and movies and such. Not my thing. She recently created or is creating a board game based on Greek Mythology- not my thing either but at least she is not into drugs and crap like that so I wont' complain, I just won't participate, there are other things we can do. Hope your day went well.
@cosmiccurves oh the mushrooms and onions!! They go in almost everything, but after thinking about your question I realised there are just some foods I do not pair them with - fried chicken, turkey, usually it is red meats like beef pork but not lamb oddly enough - I sometimes post my meals on the feed - as I did breakfast today - an eggwhite omlet with onion, mushrooms, bacon bits, spinach on a bed of green lettuce with avocado ranch dressing. I also had blueberry, cinamon, blueberry, flax seed with my 0 fat yogurt. I do 0 fat for most dairy so I can have the healthier fats like avocado oil, which has a higher cooking capability then other oils, but also olive oil. Oils for me must be cold pressed, it gives the best of the product. Same with flax seeds, they must be cold pressed too - cold presses do not heat up when crushing/ processing so I look for that. Is it Carbonaut that you get at Costco? I can get that at Safeway but I have not seen another low carb bread out of a freezer ! I can't help with foods for sports activities, as I do not do sports, gave them up a long time ago when I realised they were causing me too much anxiety especially figure skating, oh what a fan I was and hockey night in Canada - well ... not in my house lol I hope you do find some good recipies you can enjoy.
@Dianedoessmiles1 I read your blog - and said a specific prayer for you last night. Have you thought of other antihistamines, like Reactine? Ask your doctor or pharmacists for a non drowsy one. I have Reactine for my alergies but I use Benedryl spray for skeeter/wingless wasp bites - yup still have the critters, time to get tough with them. BORAX!! I have to remember to pick some up today and sprinkle my drawers. It dehydrates anything that crunches when you step on it, similar to the "etable dirt" you can get at pet food stores. How is Izzy doing ? Amigo is almost back to his old self !
@CSEGUIN2 - Enjoy the Fair, my neice Sarah has a few paint entries this year but they are away camping through out Ontario so not sure any of the others will be entering. I am sure the fairgrounds will give you good oportunity to walk around the exterior as I recall it being very huge - and take the time to swing on a swing eh !!
@Kurtize I sure wish we had rain, but no doubt we will get it when Fall does roll around, and no doubt a good40 days of it too lol Hope your internet issues were resolved.
@everyone, have a wonderful day - cheers, Linda

Good afternoon, happy mid week. Don worked on the side yard, its looking great, just need to get some plants. Today is nice in low 90's. More raining is supposed to come in the next week, which is good we need it.

good evening everyone! it is a mostly sunny and very windy day here today. my daughter says hi to everyone. she worked at her part time job today. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i got in my strength training session this morning and i really enjoyed it! I went for a walk in the afternoon and i feel great! i will be doing some dancing in a while. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.1

@Tabatha_Cain Happy Birthday to your son tomorrow! How old is he going to be? And yes, I'm hoping the dip is amazing, we shall see! Figured I'll chop up some celery sticks and make us some tortilla chips out of a few of our low carb tortillas and I think both of those will pair well with it. I need to go to the grocery store today after work to grab supplies!
@LindieMaeP your recipes and food choices sound absolutely delicious! I was thinking about making some onions, mushrooms, and sqaush as a side dish this weekend, using olive oil to sautee them in. We try to buy from local farmers, since we only have herbs and tomato plants right now in our home that we can pull from. The brand of the low carb bread that we are able to get from Costco is called Natural Ovens, not sure if yours carries it, maybe could order it online if needed? I can help with Noah's Ark, my husband has been teaching me woodworking!
we are so ready for fall too! We live in the deep south of the US, so we are ready for a repreive from the heat.
@cormierannie glad to hear things are going well! do you do a strength training routine at home or at a gym? My husband and I are looking at starting with resistance bands at home until we can start buying and building our home gym.
I am feeling super confident in my ability to continue strong with this new lifestyle. Last night, we cooked for our boys their usual fare, and my husband and I made our low carb variety. We figured now is the best opportunity to lead by example for them and make sure that the majority of the carbs they are taking in are from 'healthy' sources. They are all very active kids, growing super fast, so we know their bodies need much more than ours do when it comes to those macros. Being an active family certainly helps! My husband commented yesterday while I was in the kitchen how my waist is looking smaller, and that excited me!
I will have to take progress pictures next week and compare from when I started to see how noticable the changes really are right now.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday!

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I am so glad it is Thursday. Only today and tomorrow until my 3 day weekend. I am looking forward to it. I think things are going well here at home. I am getting ready to go to work today and work has been a lot of fun. I have been going through rerating people and that is always fun. It is also a lot of work. Today I hope is going to be a good day. I think it will but we will see.
@LindieMaeP - That is great that she created her own game. She should get a patent on it before someone steals the idea. Yes it was a hot one yesterday. I too hope it cools down some but I don't want any rain or snow.
@Kurtize - Rain seems to always be needed yet grass does well without it and I don't water my lawn. So it is still green at the end of the year.
@cormierannie - Glad everyone is doing well. I hope you enjoyed your dancing last night.
@cosmiccurves - That is great that he noticed the change. My son will be 18 on September 17. We are just getting around to going to look at the venue I booked and decide on decorations. You will have to let me know how that dip is and post the recipe or the link to the recipe for that exact one you made. Kids do need more than we do. They are growing alot faster.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day.

Good morning everyone. Up early today.3

As this is my first challenge, I’m not quite sure when it starts and the process. I did come over from SP, but I never did one of their monthly challenges. This looks like a very active and encouraging group I’m excited to get started4

good afternoon everyone! it is a beautiful sunny day here today. 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 after supper. my daughter works at her part time job today. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.1

Good afternoon everyone, another hot day here, but I will survive. Going to go to Denny's with my sister, Alice, or rather meet her there, not sure what I will have but I will try to make it low carb. I just had a sandwich for lunch with the low carb bread I have - I know I will not have bread or anything breaded for dinner, bread is covered for today.
@cosmiccurves by all means do come help with the Ark, I certanly do not know much about wood or working with wood. Come to think of it, I am not very good with math, think we better recruit @Dianedoessmiles1 as she is good with math and she can find the several football fields we will need LOL I'll see if I can find that bread at the lowcarb store online or even if Costco here has it, most likely not. I am glad low carbing is going well for you and your husband. I know here, my son eats a lot of high carb foods, but being a 115 lbs bean pole well half the size of a bean pole - he says he needs them. So often food is cooked for low carb then I portion out his and he can add all his carbs. He's learning too not to add so many carbs to anything he might want me to eat. BUT I still enjoy fruits such as blueberries and cookies - Peakfreans Lifestyle - only 2 a day these days.
@Tabatha_Cain I hope today was a good day for you. Your son and my daughter have the same birth date - 17 SEP - I hope your son enjoys his day, I know my daughter will. Yes I guess Charise should look at patening her games, course I never play it so no idea how good it would be...
@Patti241 hi back at ya !!
@cormierannie enjoy your dancing and hope your daughter has a good shift at her part time job.
@shortmom5 I am sure one of the leaders will see your post and answer you @Dianedoessmiles1 can you answer this ? Thanks In the meantime, do go to this link, as it will answer so much for you - just right click on the link and open in a new browser or window - https://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Ceriusly1/view?id=5-challenge-faq-1006029
Well I gotta get things written up, dishes done and that before I brave the heat and go meet my sister. We have not done this in a while. In the meantime, welcome to September, it's gotta get cooler now right ?????

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. I am so glad it is Friday. I have a 3 day weekend this this week. I am super excited. An extra day to cram pack everything into. I have a wedding Saturday. Get together with BF family on Sunday and Get together for my Family on Monday. So not a super busy day, but enough. I love being busy though. I need to make sure I get a lot of exercise in. I am going to need it with the food we are eating.
@shortmom5 - It will fall into place soon. It does take time to adjust to Saturday weigh ins though
@cormierannie - I missed my walk yesterday an have had issues and ended up having to work out another way. I miss my walk. Definitely getting one today.
@LindieMaeP - It does have to get cooler now, but hopefully not to cool. I don't need freezing temps just yet.
@Kurtize - Happy September to you too.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you have a great day.

@Kurtize ,, Good afternoon back to you!! We have a little bit of rain coming in early Sat, and again on Monday. Being still in a drought we are okay with that!! We can let others tell us what to do, how to do them, and at times that's a must, but overall hopefully we get to have our dreams.1

@Patti241 ,, HOPEFULLY it is!! Today will be just right at 72. WOOHOO!! Getting ready to go down to the grocery store. LOL on a SATURDAY AM at THAT!! I may wait til noontime. It might Not be quite as busy. HA!! This store is super busy even at closing! We used to chase customers down. I once told one "Hi, we'll are closing" they were about 1/4 of the way through the store who replied "Well I AM NOT DONE SHOPPING!" I just looked at her. "I realize its not convivence for you that we are closing. Its the holiday season, many of us upfront have worked 8 plus hours today. We really want to go home and put our tired feet up (I had a smile on my face, pleasant of course) Is there something you'll need for breakfast? I'll help you find it so you can have a yummy breakfast." She got that point,,,, thanked me. She had a rough day herself and that was all she could think about. But, she got the breakfast stuff ,, thanked me for being nice. That PLACE IS CRAZY!! LOLOL I WISH Patti, SO BADLY I could still work there!! I had WAY WAY TO MUCH FUN!!2

Good morning all, it's much cooler here this morning and hopefully stay that way. Tomorrow should bring needed rain and my congregation group meets at the Kingdom Hall for the first time since Covid hit way back when, bring the rain, I gotta umbrella! I've been thinking about the LTGL that I can choose for this IB and I will rotate between 3 of them, stretch, vitamin, no random eating. I found this week's stretch very beneficial so will continue with this first. @Dianedoessmiles1 tweety has been a favourite of mine too, so was Tom and Jerry, but as I realised how violent it was, even parts of tweety I had to stop watching. I do not want to promote any kind of violence. Have you seen the new planet from the James Webb ?? It's interesting how they do the search in space ! Course you and I know someone who knows them all by name and destination! AP is going well and will go well. How are you doing with your pain and infection, are the meds helping ?
WELL it's almost 9 am and have to get ready for my meeting. It's gonna be a goodun. Have a nice 1st day on the IB folks !!
