Good morning everyone, I hope you all got through the night safe and sound and are enjoying or have enjoyed a nice breakfast - I'll be having mine shortly. It's a wonderful day in the neighbourhood so much to look forward to and to accomplish on this next challenge that we take 1 week at a time and see what we can do. There is no such thing as failure when one is learning new things to help them along. I am starting this challenge at 207.4 or course on Saturday I will put the official start weight - it's up from where I wanted to be but at least it is a start and I can go from there. I want to reach 199 on this challenge we will see how it goes and how my body will respond, well my mind too cause sometimes my mind fools me !! I always feel that weight will fluctuate and it has since I weigh in on WED and SAT too. I like to see how I am doing mid week. I will be focusing in on fiber - seems I have not been getting enough, and you would think it would be easy to get in each meal - nada !!! I will also be doing resistance training, firming up muscles slowly and go from there. I wish you all well with your plans for this challenge - you can do what you aim to do!! Have a wonderful day all !!

@tslose ,, GOOD day!! WELCOME to the chat!! How was your day?
@Macrat12,, HI Sarah!! What did you do today?
@Majork29,,, what I do now is to just set a very reasonable goal for myself per challenge. The 8 weeks wrapping my head around it is just easier. Since my body is such a brat (but it's the only 1 I have and so I do love and cherish it, but it IS A BRAT! LOL) with smaller goals if I need to reset I can.
@Patti241 did you watch the ball drop? I did not. I was up, but LOLOL didn't watch. It's a new year, but that's about it in my wee mind. We'll see what it brings.
@LIndiemaep,,, Awwwww CUTE GIF!! TY TY TY TY!! I find fiber to NOT be at all easy, but we know my view towards freggies which has something to do with that! Keep in mind also fiber is in whole bread (weirdly for a junk food person I LOVE a very fiber bread!) cereal (ALSO usually LOVE) and I think I'll go back to some of them. Yeah adding that to my phone grocery list (TY TY TY TY!) One day at a time. I too am adding ST more so. I want my body to behave better so I have to treat it accordingly (NOT the freggie though).
LOL If anyone is watching the Packers game this is something to to see. Its now the 4th quarter and it's 3 Vikings and 34 Packers. Ohhhh I have a friend from Wisconsin who though she lives on the other side of the city I CAN HEAR HER!! (Lolol). BUT I DID SO EARLIER when the Pats played the Dolphins. Hmmm maybe ,, nah ,, am I sorry @Catwmncat? NOPE!2 -
A New Year.. A New Challenge..every day is a chance at a new success. Today has been a quiet one. As the days begin part of my years promise to me is to start each day finding a reason to give thanks..then at the end of the day check to see if I did in fact get thru the day with that foremost in my mind. I love the idea of writing down daily at least one good thing that happened that day, put in a jar ..then at years end review . Now to find a spot to put that jar so I don't loose it.
Headed in to make some supper for the crew..wishing each and everyone an awesome year .

@Dianedoessmiles1 hahahaha it should have said LINDIE not DIANE but I am ok with it saying DIANE!! Fiber 1 cerial gives a lot of fiber and I add it to my yogurt every morning along with flax seed, cinnamon, and of course blueberries - 1 serving is 1/3 cup that is 11 fiber but I don't use a full serving as I only need 5 fiber per meal. Peas are next on the venue to give fiber but I do the summer peas or baby peas and then pears if you like fruit give a good amount of fiber so sometimes it comes from veggies and sometimes fruit. I've bought them for individual serving sizes in packages but have not been able to find them lately so a small box will last me a month and it costs me 7.00 a box !! Gone up in price indeed ! WHO DAT !?!? I don't do footie too violent for my taste , I stay away from violent sports. Still looking for a good fiber bread, but really only need 5 grams a meal so should be ok. See my blog if you have time and are feeling up to it. I went out today with a couple from my KH and we had a good time and discussed many spirtiual things!
@katiecondy1 nice idea to do that. I give thanks many times a day, there is so much I am thankful for. Good food, good times, good friends, yup all is good and I am thankful for them. I hope you blog at the end of the year what you learnt about your jar contents!!
I am having a light dinner tonight, just a slice of pizza and coleslaw - I went out for lunch and had fish and chips so still full from that ! I gave the recliner to my sister and she came and got it while I was out. I hope she is happy with it. I know her son Michael liked it. I rearranged the living room this morning and got the 50+ y.o. envovled, he was not happy but did some vaccumming and I washed the floor after the carpet was rolled up, it's being trashed time for it to go and he needs to figure out what is going to the dump so I can pay the fee - I might get my sister to take it, it's amazing what she can pack in her car! Anyway I asked him where he wanted the couch and he put it right back where it was !! Then he put the coffee hutch and ice chests back too same place... ok he's not ready for change... but at least I got the floor washed eh !! I still have to get some steps in so I will do that after dinner.2 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Happy New Year!
Yesterday was a very long day. Prepared my taco dip for my friends New Year's. Had to work in the afternoon and then partied till Midnight with friends, Hubby and Son. Hehe he got to see his Mom actually have fun and party. The looks he gave me were definitely the best. It was great seeing him actually socializing with people he didn't know. I hope I can give him more opportunities like that maybe he'll make some friends he can hang out with eventually. Granted he was the youngest one there. Most are older than me.
Anyways today I obviously slept in. Sent my Son home so he could get ready for a gathering he was going to with other family members. Then got ready for work. I am not used to a coworker who doesn't do their job. As my weekday coworker has definitely been stepping up. The weekend one moves slow, she doesn't get half of what the weekday one does. My friend/manager got a text from me about what she will find when she gets to work in the morning. Dishes that should have been done before we left. I would have done them but I was doing other cleaning and don't quite feel comfortable getting my wrist that wet yet. Today is the first day I showered with out it covered and definitely wasn't the best feeling. The skin is still very new and very pink. I even keep it wrapped most of the time so I don't damage it.1 -
Good Evening, All! The first day of the New Year is almost at an end. The warm weather in this part of the world has been a gift. Billie and I have been taking an hour walk each day. She's been staying out of trouble.
Glad to see so many on the chat!
Tomorrow's word is FAITH.
And I learned a new trick with my phone camera:

Good morning, I got my Christmas tree taken apart yesterday and a few other things done. Of course, not as much done as I wanted but a good start. I got out for a walk with Farley yesterday, he is really starting to love his walks. Which is good.
Today is my last day off until I leave for Mexico on the 14th. I work straight through until the evening of the 13th. So, I have decided that I will putter around the house today, take the puppy for another walk and the work on finishing the afghan that I am doing for a friend. It is almost completed. The bonus is that if I am working on the afghan while watching TV I can't eat!! (snack).

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all enjoying your Monday morning. This morning I have off as it is the observed holiday for New Year. It is nice to get extra days off. This is the last holiday until Easter though I do believe. So that is going to be hard going. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow so I will have to go to that and talk to the doctor. It is first thing in the morning. Can't remember what it is for. I think it is my yearly physical.
@katiecondy1 - That is a good idea. I may have to steal your jar idea. Although I have a really good plan for this year and I better never forget it.
@LindieMaeP - My fiance has a hard time handling change too. I am ok with it though. I don't need to change everything all the time. We will change stuff when we move.
@CSEGUIN2 - I would definitely have said something. If your weekend partner isn't doing their job I would say something to the boss. Glad you messaged her about the dishes.
@NovemberGail - Glad Billie has been staying out of trouble. That is always nice.
@majork29 - I hope you have fun in Mexico. It is true if you are working on the blanket you cannot snack. Not enough hands.
Well it is time for me to get some breakfast. I hope you all have a great day.

Good morning, all! It is a foggy morning in Oklahoma. I am up on this holiday Monday taking care of animals (my German Shepherds and my son's German and Aussie Shepherds) and I have laundry going. I'm easing into the day with a sugar free latte. I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday.3

Happy Monday, wishing you all a great week

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your day is going well and you are getting a lot accomplished through out the day. It is a cool grey day here and it was great for walking to Safeway. I was mosing along the isles taking my time and all of a sudden someone yanked on my cart - I turned around and there was my son! He had driven all the way to Safeway to get me to go to Walmart. I did have to get a few things at Safeway as Walmart does not always carry what I want. Once paid for we went down to parkade got in the car and went to Walmart. We spent 100.00 there!! OH MY He got his oatmeal cheaper then safeway and also some baked chicken pieces as well as samosa that he likes, and I got my dish washing sponges as well as a lunch for myself and a few other things. We should be ok for a couple of weeks now as I already have several meals good to go and no need to cook - just to heat and eat ! Came home and put everything away. I still have a few steps to get in but I can get those in later. Usually Monday is my laundry day but some folks who normally work might be off and need the machines so I'll do laundry tomorrow. How is your day going ?
@Tabatha_Cain I hope you had a good day today, and you remembered what your appt was all about !!
@dms1977 hope you enjoyed taking those fur babies for a walk and had a good time

We had a lil bit of snow..barely covered the ground..then the temps hovered in the 30's..now dropping into the 20's and ah ha there is more snow/sleet coming down..really wet stuff ..great!! We'll take it!!
I am hobbling around without a cane or walker..woo hoo..but also limited amount of hobbling allowed.
My happy lil knee likes to make musical popping sounds that send out slivers of pain to remind me of who is really in control here!! Sweet huh!! Nice comfy fire going most of the day ..ahh listening to the news more flight delays..knew there was a reason I do not like to fly !! Especially in the winter..do you have to chip ice off the wings..I am not getting in , on or close to that tin can that soars thru the sky!
@pitrpatr21..glad you got your roof sealed up. With our weather lately who knows what is next? I even heard one of the weather people saying..folks this is just an educated guess tis always open to change!
Not a whole lot going on..doing some Spring dreaming of garden stuff and yard fixing..wish I loved housework half as much as I love playing in the dirt!! But can during this time of year read and learn and decide what new or unusual things to try. Maybe I can even get these "city folks" that live with me interested, if I can get their noses out of their computer games long enough that is! A very different generation that is for sure!
Gonna go stir up something for supper and then got a book that needs finished..how can they catch the bad guy if I am not there cheering them on!! Enjoy your evening ..make this year a good one and each day the best day it can be..3 -
@dianedoessmiles-aw I am glad you are keeping your spirits up! Yup I do a little gratitude thing every day too.
@katiecondy1 -aw I hope you enjoy your book. I am reading "Hour of the Witch" among other things-so right now I stopped mid-trial! When I get back they will still be arguing.3 -
Good evening everyone! It's a cool and cloudy day here today. My daughter says hello to all. Both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! I did my strength training workout in the morning and I really enjoyed it. I went for a walk in the afternoon and I dropped off some extra food to the food bank box that's set up at the local grocery store here. I'll definitely be doing some dancing later on. Have a great day, everyone! Take care and stay safe.2

Hi! Thunder is rolling around and lightning is brightening the sky. Rain is beginning, and Billie thinks it is safe enough to come from under the bed. Life is good. I managed to pull back some brush today for exercise and walked over a mile.
Glad to hear that some of you had today off for New Year's Day 2!
@Katiecondy1: Glad to hear that you are getting along without the cane or walker. Just listen to those knees and don't aggravate them anymore than you have to. 💐
Tomorrow's word is courage.
I tried to catch some neighborhood fireworks. Doesn't it look like a tree is on fire?

Good Evening Everyone!
Today was sunny when I woke up after sleeping in so I went for my first walk of the year. It felt great. Worked again this afternoon. Tomorrow is TOPS. Not sure what the scale will do. But I am fine no matter what happens as long as I don't gain everything I lost last week. I know everything is slowly getting under control.

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all having a good morning. This morning is back to work. After my doctor appointment. I did find out it is my physical today. So there is that. I am anxious on my physical. I hope to know I am doing well. I think they will probably poke my finger to get my A1C today. I hope it is a good number.
@dmsl977 - I was enjoying my day yesterday. Today is going to be a busy day
@LindieMaeP - That is sweet of your son to meet you at the store. That is nice that you are waiting to do your laundry so other people can get theirs done.
@katiecondy1 - I have never flown in a plane. I am afraid of heights so I don't get into planes.
@NovemberGail - I had Monday off. I am back at work today after my doctors appointment
@CSEGUIN2 - It is nice that you got a walk in yesterday. I need to get some exercise going. I don't want to gain anymore weight.
Well it is time to get breakfast going. I hope you all have a great day.

Good morning, it warmed back up to -7C this morning. I'm looking forward to the sun coming up in 3 hours!! LOL I really hate how short our daylight is this time of year. I know that it could be worse.

Not sure if this posted yesterday.
@dianedoessmiles-aw I am glad you are keeping your spirits up! Yup I do a little gratitude thing every day too.
@majork29 -oh those temps sound rough! Very grateful for our 40s but rainy temps3 -
Good afternoon all. I woke up a bit under the weather today. As I'm working on Saturday, I gave myself grace to take today off. I'm trying to up my natural vitamin C. On a positive, I'm still soda free for the new year. That's huge for me.4
-
Good morning everyone, it's a some what rainy day here today and I am ok with that. Already got some exercise in doing laundry, will do my resistance training just before lunch, most likely after this post. I hope everyone is doing ok and enjoying their day.
@TEXASTITCHER lovely bead work !! Thank you for sharing.
@dms1977 good going on the soda free you will see a difference in about 4 weeks if not more as you just made a major change! A little fresh ginger tea might help or even fresh mint tea but if not peppermint tea will give you energy.
@majork29 I agree on the lack of sunlight during this period of seasons, but I also love how it gets lighter and lighter earlier and longer and now I am waiting for the trees to bud and not look so nakid !! Across the street the lawncare folks are trimming the hedges and I am enjoying the sound of the hedge trimmers. They always do such a nice job.
@Tabatha_Cain I was right about the laundry room and I ran into one neighbour who usually works Mondays but had yesterday off and did their laundry, well last night, they alerted me that the dryer might not dry my stuff, so I watched it and was prepared to pull my manual dryer rack out of the closet and put everything on it, howver, most items were dry just a couple of thick socks and wastebands that were not dry so I figure they will dry in the drawer of my dresser since that is right up against the heat, and trust me my place gets super hot dispite that! So I emailed management to have the dryer checked. In their ball park now. Hope your day is going good and your physical went good too.
Well I have one phone call done and two more to go and I will do them shortly.
