Happy Saturday! Looking forward to the Fall challenge and the Break challenge team to keep myself accountable!
Yay, for a 3 day weekend! Hope you all have a great weekend! My family is cooking out this Monday and looking forward to it, as we don't get to cook out much. It's my birthday on Wednesday, so I'll be celebrating Monday. I don't celebrate much, but I'm claiming it to be my day at least! 😊2 -
happy saturday everyone! it is a really warm and sunny day here today. my daughter says hi to all. she is working at her part time job today. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! we are all keeping cool and well hydrated here. i have been for a walk and i feel great! i will be going to see the new Spiderman movie later on this afternoon. for today only, all movies in all formats are just $3. i figure i may as well go and see a movie i have not had the chance to see yet and i will also keep cool as well. i will definitely be doing some dancing later on, once i am back from seeing the movie. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.1

I've left a couple of messages on the link for the In-between team and forgot to post here, too. Anyway, I'm happy to see so many of the old gang here, plus a few new ones. Yes, we're a very active group so join us and take part in our various conversations.2

Happy labor day weekend for all who celebrate. My computer has been acting up, don't think its the internet I think the computer, checking if I miss any updates. Hugs and blessings.2

@Lindiemaep ,, OH PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU POST that Caturday book on the in between challenge team. LOL Cat will LOVE IT as do I. Indeed MANY of the cartoons we watched were quite, were VERY violent, but we realized they were only for the imagination not for following. Did you meet today with the group or on Zoom? Which is still meeting with the group. WOOHOO on rain, we have it coming on Monday, I am ALL FOR THAT!! A nice lazy day I have planned!! A DIANESE DAY!!
@ForeverFitNHealthy ,, WOOHOO happy you are with our team for the break!! It'll be fun!! ENJOY the weekend!! Where I live we are having a BBQ next Saturday. LOL WHY did I VOLUNTEER to organize it? I MUST BE NUTS!!! There are 92 units here, but so far only 20 have signed up. That means of course about 60 of them will suddenly show up!! I'll make sure there's plenty its the 4th time we've done this. Its FREE their favorite PRICE!! LOLOLOL
@Cormierannie,,, It nice for only $3 to see a movie you'll enjoy. Movie prices at 16 is HUH???
@Lavalily,, Just saw your comment on the Fit 4 Life in Gr8ter Shape team!! YEAH YEAH WELCOME aboard!! HAPPY to have you with us!
@Kurtize ,,hope it straightens out. If all fails on my own, I just wipe it clean and restart again. THANKFULLY with Windows 11 and up I can still keep some of my files!! I've done 3 or 4 with this one. I AM SURE at some point I'll get a new lap top, but HOPING to WAIT THAT OUT!! I'd love to hit a nice sale in Nov thru Feb!!

@Dianedoessmiles1 On Zoom today, at the KH for the other as well as tomorrow, yes let it rain rain rain. I'll pop over to the other chat and add that book!
Hi everyone !!!3 -
@Lindiemaep ,, sounds good!! See ya in the other chat!2
-
Good morning everyone
Diane: Yeah it is still a little warm here2 -
Good afternoon.
Diane may do what you suggested with computer if I can't figure out why it's acting up. Having trouble walking today, leg keep giving out, twice I nearly fell, hubby got so upset when he saw it, wanted to get a walker, he got me a cane that we had in the closet so I had some support when walking. After labor day will call Dr2 -
@Patti241 ,, when about does it normally start to cool down? Its almost 6 and 71.
@Kurtize ,, Its so easy to do if you have Windows 11 to reset back to original settings. I do when the box pops up keep my files. Its great my computer will go as fast as it had when it was new. OH PLEASE DO call your Dr!! Do you get dizzy? Or does it suddenly just not work the way it should? Indeed a cane is helpful. I do use my walker more than I used to. At first I thought "Oh those are OLD PEOPLE!" I am in my almost mid 60s. LOL FUNNY my Gram at this age was OLD, my Mom only lived to be 55, but to me she was OLD, but I AM NOT OLD. HAHAHAHA!! But, well I found using it I can further, do more and not worry about my balance. I have neuropathy and well, here's a pic of my feet
Balance can be an issue. We are better safe than sorry. I have some spray paint for my walker, NEON GREEN is what I was going to do, but it's now a BFF favorite color, I also have Aqua, HOT PINK and SPARKLING PURPLE!! LOL I'll come up with something!! Oh we know I WILL!!! Then using it, it won't be "Oh poor thing" It'll be a conversational piece. We just got to have fun!

@Dianedoessmiles1 ouch! I didn’t realise how bad your foot was. Yes, my gran was ancient at 60. Everyone ran round doing things old folk didn’t expect they still had to do. Mum is 92 at Xmas and she does more than gran did at 60.
Me I’ll be 68 in the new year and I’m still changing lightbulbs, hanging fresh curtains and hanging out of first floor windows to get the birds mess off the frames. I’m not old either!2 -
Diane: Around the middle of September is when it cools down2
-
@Lessennan ,,, Isn't it so weird/strange how the older we get, the younger we think we are? LOLOLOL I am sure when my Grandmother was my age, I figured she'd drop dead any moment!! BUT, NOT myself!! SO COOL your dear Mom is almost 92!! My Nana made it to 96, she wanted 100 to be on the TV thingie if they still announce those who reach 100. But yeah she didn't make it, still she lived a very full and happy life. Nan, the foot hurts 99% of the time. Even sitting, but it's still mine at this point. Today as I walked around here (it's raining out) up and down the hallway (there are 16 units per floor)
@Patti241 ,,, OH GOOD!! HANG ON IN!! We are almost there!! Hopefully in a few weeks it'll start to cool down for you. It's 59 now,, I had to close one window, have the bedroom window open for Izzy. LOLOL NOT that Izzy kitty is SPOILED AT ALL!! Nahhhhh LOLOLOL

@Macrat12 WELCOME BACK Sarah!!! OH I KNOW YOUR Team will be so happy to have you with them again!! Did you sign up okay on the team of your choice?2

Well, the Cauliflower Dip was absolutely AMAZING! The homemade tortilla chips turned out great too, I just cut our low carb tortillas like a pizza, used olive oil, salt, and pepper for the tortilla chips, air fryed half of the batch and baked the other. Both turned out good, and we like the crispness of the baked better!
Here is the recipe for the cauliflower dip! it's the first recipe she does in her video, and we are definitely going to try out the queso fundido one for this week's game! I didn't do the peppers for our recipe since my husband is not a spice fan, and it still turned out delicious!

I also dipped celery as well in this, was so good!

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well. Today it is back to work day. I am so glad that I only have 4 days of work rather than 5. Then in 2 weeks I also have a day off work so I can go to our DMV and get my son his learning permit. I think he is going to be so excited. He will be 18 on the 17th of this month. So getting his license on the 19th or 20th will be amazing for him.
@cosmiccurves - I will definitely try that now. Since you said it was so good. Thank you for the recipe. That sounds great by the way. Glad you also tried it with celery.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you have a great day.

Good morning everyone2

Hi all hope your day is going well. Got a Dr. appt this afternoon, called this morning because over the weekend (started Sat. my right leg would give out where it couldn't hold me up- almost fell). Been using a cane to help me but even then it will give out. Hope it isn't serious. Hugs all.4
-
@Kurtize I sure hope your Doctor can put you at ease and it is something simple like stretch exercises - but no doubt they will want to take xrays which is not always a bad thing. I have times my leg gives out but I catch it in time and don't fall - I also have a nerve issue that affects my leg (meralgia paresthetica) means the outside nerve - the thigh is numb right now from standing in the kitchen prepping and making chile - have not made it in a while and it is now simmering. In the mean time, I'll sit so my leg can rest but not for long, too much to do. By the way I saw your game entrees boy they sure looked good eh !!3

Hello Fellow Passengers!
Hope you are all having a great week!
Can someone remind me what date the next challenge starts please.
Thanks!3 -
@ForeverFitNHealthy -Hope you had a great birthday!
@Dianedoessmiles1 -hello! My kids are back in school. Both in the same building just this year. I have a freshman and a senior. I still get the play by play from my freshman which is nice.2 -
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 definitely be doing some dancing later on. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.3

@cosmiccurves LOVE IT when I try something new and it's YUMMY!! Nice job!
@Tabatha_Cain ,, oh that'd be so exciting for the both of you!! ITs scary when they do and they borrow the car!! YO!! I ALMOST wanted to put a tracker on the phone so I'd know if GD went off the road. Especially one very very foggy night!! I was so scared that night, but she did call when she got there. THANKFULLY she was smart and went very slow as I had asked her to. It was in the town next to the city we live in, but like many towns it doesn't have street lights, and the road twists and turns horribly surrounded by the marsh!
@Macrat12 ,,, Oh Sarah!! BUT BUT BUT BUT they are our competition with the PS4L team!! LOLOL ENJOY being with Sue and the rest. Actually if I was not on the PS4L Team, I'd be with Fit Force!! They do help us out a lot , we push ourselves harder. YOu will LOVE THEM!
@Kurtize, ,, I need to go to page 5, but I SURE AM HOPING the Dr has been able to help you!! Been thinking of you!!
@Lindiemaep ,,, Now now, unless you are going to cook for ALL OF US along with @Cosmiccurves,, LOL Hey you all make things look YUMMY!! Linda knows I am NOT a freggie person. PLEASE TAKE Care of that leg!!
@Sassiefit ,,,, Would you like to join a team during the in between challenge? If so which team are you with if you were on the Spring 5%, if not, which team are you hoping to be on for the Fall? IF its the any team, we'll easily work with that too. WELCOME ABOARD!! THe FALL 5% Is due to start on the 24th. Likely teams mates will be invited to join any time between the 14th to the 17th with a practice week likely. COOL!
@BookieNJ ,, that's so cool!! Must be nice for the youngest though LOLOL sometimes its a strange thing to be in the same school. I have 4 brothers, one of them was only a year behind me, the youngest one 2 years behind me. The one who was a year behind me, so CUTE!! Hmmmm ALL THESE GIRLS kept coming up to me to ask me to ask him to DATE THEM!! THE FOOLISH Ones would try to "be my friend" Hmmm I HAD PLENTY of friends. For the fake ones(trying to be my friend),,,, I'd tell him stuff I made up about them. Hehehehe no dates were given. I HAD to protect my baby brothers!
@Cormierannie,,, NICE JOB on the exercise. WOOHO on a nice day!!!

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well and it looks like you are. Today is hump day. I am so happy we are already half the week down. It is great that I am doing so well. My boyfriend is so much help. When I get stressed we figure things out together. He is great. Yesterday he was so helpful. Reminding me that the bible says no to fear 365 times so it stands for every day of the year and that it will all work out. So that it what I am going with.
@macrat12 - That is the team I am on. I am the baggage handler for Fit Force. You will love the team.
@Kurtize - I hope they are able to figure it out. That can be pretty scary. Please keep us updated
@SassieFit - I am not totally sure but maybe around the 24th of this month we should be starting.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day.

Good morning everyone.2

@Tabatha_Cain ,,, WOOHOO FOR HUMP DAY!! We've not seen the CAMEL lately on TV and I MISS HIM!! LOL That was pretty funny and it certainly took on a life of it's own!! I'm so glad your BF is so good!! NO DOUBT you are to him also!! It's so great when it works out so well. In the book of Matthew Chapter 6 verse 34 it helps me out so much "So never be anxious about the next day, or the next day will have it's own anxieties. Each day has enough of its own troubles." What GREAT ADVICE!! There's stuff each day, and worrying doesn't help us. Sure we can take care of things we can take care, but some things are so out of our own control. When I think of the many times I've worried about stuff, that never happened. Now I take it step by step. HUGE RELIEF!!
@Macrat12 ,, Fit Force is a fantastic team. They'll love having you and you'll flourish with them no doubt. A TRUE WIN/WIN!! Of course ALL teams are great!! Each has it's own flavor. @Patti241 and I are on Positively Strong 4 Life which is a fun, amazing team also, as said though ALL of them are. On Sparks each team was different for various reasons, same here. HAPPY YOU ARE BACK!! What do you do on Leg day?
@Patti241 ,, HI Patti!! Hows the day going so far? You can see mine has been crazy so far with grocery shopping DONE!! Picking up a friend in a tiny bit to meet another friend, to eat chinese food! YUMMY!! Then drop off friend, to go to the foot Dr's office. FINALLY HOME!! After I rest a bit, eat, come back on MFP, I need to knock on many neighbors doors to do the final organization for the BBQ on Saturday. They are so funny!!! With 92 units, we've had only 30 sign up, yet 50 will show up, but we do this year after year, so we are fine with that. We expect it!! THANKFULLY many also help with the set up, during and WAY MORE help with the clean up!2 -
good afternoon everyone! it is a mostly cloudy day here today. my daughter says hi to all. today is her first day back at school. she is now in grade 12. she enjoys learning new things and helping out at school and with others. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i did my strength training workout this morning and i really enjoyed it! i went for a walk a while ago and i feel great! i will definitely be doing some dancing tonight! have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.2
-
@Dianedoessmiles1 -lol that’s so funny you used to tell them the wrong stuff! Yeah right now bordering on weird. Older one has shared very little about school so a lot we are figuring out for the first time.2

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday. The Dr did take xrays, she said to stay on the cane and felt I walked well with it but that's not the problem, want to know why my leg buckles. She also ordered a walker. The xrays on my back (which she hasn't gone over with me, its just the report they send to your file. Moderate to severe degenerative disc disease L3-L4 and L4-L5. Mild-to-moderate degenerative disc disease is seen at the other levels of lumbar spine. There is an anterolisthesis of L4 and L5 measuring approximately 10 mm. Moderate facet arthropathy L4-L5 and L5-S1. More mild degenerative disc disease is seen at the other levels lumbar spine. There is mild levocurvature lumbar spine. Anterior and left lateral osteophytes are seen at L2-L3. I really have no idea what this means. My knee didn't show any signs except arthritis. She did note my right leg is weaker, but @LindieMaeP what you described is what I feel and happens. I am be walking then I start to feel numb from hips to thighs. It gets hard to walk, and now my right leg starts to buckle under me. Luckily I have caught myself so I . Hope they come up with solution. Thanks all for your concern and thoughts. Have a good rest of the day. Hugs.4

Good afternoon everyone, hope you all are having a good day and getting things accomplished. I did volunteer with my congregation on zoom and then walked to safeway, came home and just had dinner. Still have to do my strength exercises and I will do that in half an hour. Actually I just do one to loosen my hip flexor in my left hip - I lay on the side of the bed and I dangle my leg off the bed for a count of 45 seconds and then bring it up, rest it then dangle it again - it not only works that hip flexor it's working my core too as a side work !! I actually find it quite relaxing once my back settles.
@Kurtize I hope your doctor gives you not only a good explanation but arranges some form of physiotherapy you can do to help the issues. Interesingly I have the same issue with the L3L4 degenerating - they called it osteoarthrtice, and that is where the nerve issue ( outer nerve in plain english) comes from. The doctor also told me it was from wearing a belt too tight around my waist. Well I dont' wear a belt but I do have draw strings for my shorts and maybe my undies might be too tight in the band. I just got home from Safeway as I said and yes my leg - thigh went numb and it is still numb and I have been sitting for a bit. My doctor told me the numb then burning is the nerve trying to heal it. The suggestion was for short walks, 10 min or so - safeway is 15 - but the walking around safeway is more. Also I tried doing exercises in a pool and that aggrevated it for me, so I layed off that. Do keep us informed as you wish I would love to hear what your doctor's final prognosise is. I was thinking of getting a walker as well - one with a bench so I can sit and walk more .... maybe in the new year.
@Dianedoessmiles1 you know all it takes is free food and people show up, they don't wanna help but they wanna feed their face so they don't sign up so you can't rope them, er, ask them to volunteer LOL I'll take about 3 hotdogs, no bun ... and if there's corn on the cob just make sure there's lots of goat butter !! LOL
@macrat12 good to see you back ! I too needed a change of scenery and am off to another team come the fall challenge. It's a great way to meet new folks and make new friends.
@BookieNJ sure hope you get all the schooling figured out!
@Patti241 hope your day is not as hot as it has been!
@cormierannie glad the budgies are doing well and that your daughter hopefully enjoyed the first day of school and had no problem finding her way around.
@Tabatha_Cain that's a good scripture that @Dianedoessmiles1 quoted, I often use that one myself because we do tend to worry and sometimes our imagination can run away with us, at least I know mine does.
and now just for @Dianedoessmiles1
