@Cormierannie ,, Sounds like a fun active day. Glad you can do that.
@Lindiemaep ,,, ENJOY the eggs!! They say it was the bird flu, but if that was REALLY it ,, this would of happened a bit ago, when it was at it's worse. Eggs do not keep. Any excuse to squeeze people more. LOL I saw on the News something about a candy store "having to raise it's prices" my thought was "Candy is a luxury, many just won't buy it." then I SMILED because years ago those words NEVER would come out my lips!! OH MANY it's best NOT to know what goes on behind MANY places that deal with the consumer!! Fast food, retail, manufactures, and SO ON!! Ewww!
@Cseguin2 ,, Hopefully the sun will be soon for you. I have 2 friends who live in Northern CA,,, today they saw the sun for the first time in one of them said 20 days. Tomorrow another storm coming in. I hope the residents are okay on Friday and it's the normal or better when you are there. Most look forward to food a lot. Hope it goes well over the next 3 weeks.

@NovemberGail - eggtually you did quite well in bringing the "egg" to the for !! Well done or is the wegg done ?? Rest well my friend and be refereshed for tomorrow.
@Dianedoessmiles1 any excuse these days to raise prices, it's all greed - I remember when you could buy a rotissieri chicken - whole one for 4.99 at Safway then the bird flue hit and that was about 10 years ago so this is not new with the chicken industry - no doubt over crowding etc, which is why I try to buy organic free range when I can - look at @KatieCondy1's chickens when they lay I bet they are marvelous eggs!! Cause they got a bit of freedom and not caged. Anyway I read Isaiah30 - then did some research along the way, very interesting indeed. GEne will be home soon so I gotta go get the dishes done AGAIN...well at least the stove is fixed and I can cook if I want. The flooding in CA is sad indeed, but we have had that in our area too and expect it again. That one picture i posted of mountains around the first week of Januay, I was actually standing on a dike!!
@Cseguin2 I would think the weather might be affecting the residents as well and maybe a little more. Oh how I do not miss those grey skies and cold and nasty weather, course then I moved to BC and did nothing but rain the first few years I was here, lol I thought, I can't win !! But eventually I got used to it. Hope you enjoyed your Wendy's - I like their chili !3 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are doing well this morning. Today is Friday. One more day working both jobs. Saturday we are staying home and not really doing anything. Joe works Saturday and I am going to my Mom's to work on the men's flowers. We have to figure something out. I am excited. I really am. I want to get it all done. I am excited to get married. I am super tired from last night. I was on my feet the whole night and I am tired. I am hoping that doesn't keep happening.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - It was pretty good last night. I am definitely tired. I drink lots of water at work so all night long I was getting up to go to the bathroom. Fast food is not all bad. I am learning quick.
@LindieMaeP - I need to do something. I have bad underarm flab.
@NovemberGail - Way to go on getting the Christmas Decorations down.
@CSEGUIN2 - Sounds like you have a lot going on. I hope you have a good last couple of days
Well it is time to get some food. I hope you all have a great day

@Lindiepost1 ,,, Oh Linda totally greedy, but that's to be expected. Meet me at @Katiecondy1 for them therah eggs!!! LOL it may cost more than $10.
@Tabatha_Cain ,,,Oh I knew they'd LOVE YOU RIGHT OFF!! You are a very hard worker, and an easy going person. Those are the qualities I looked for when hiring for the grocery store (I did HR for a little bit when our regular HR was out on maternity leave). I LOVED hiring people! It was so much fun!!
@Patti241 ,, it was raining most of the day. It's stopping now I am seeing a little bit of sun in the distance.
@Cormierannie,, JEALOUS!! JEALOUS!! I WANT SNOW!! Have fun with the housework!! Mine is mostly done. I CAN Do some decluttering.3 -
@Dianedoessmiles1
bwahahahahahahahaha you have all the snow you want, I am happy it's no where near me but on the mountains. We have rain now, don't gotta shovel it but sure might need a boat in some parts that may have flood and there is an avelanch warning as well in the mountain areas.
Well it has been a good day and weight in tomorrow - what it says it will say and I will go from there. Looking forward to the water challenge too 8 glasses should not be hard to do as long as I don't do them in the EVENING but spaced OUT lol too funny eh
@Tabatha_Cain you might want to invest in some good nurses shoes if you are going to be on your feet all night, or more then you anticipated. Enjoy your day at your mom's doing your flowers. When my neice got married, she made her own bouquet and it was very nice. They gave all the guests a bottle of white and red wine and they had a picture of the bride on one and a picture of the groom on the other. He rode his dirtbike up to the side of the makeshift alter where they were married - in their back yard. - they have lake front property so it was very nice. I know you will have a good time with all your arrangements!
Have a good evening everyone - LindieMae aka Linda signing OFF for now ... lol

Good Evening Everyone!
Flurries on and off. Today was another sleep most of the morning kind of day. Probably because I chose to read in bed instead of getting up and doing something. Did get a few dishes washed and some laundry done before I had to get ready for work. Work went well. Residents were all well behaved. Glad I am able to wing things and be flexible. Planned dinner for the residents was a little short in the protein department. Ended up having to have 3 different things: veal, hamburger patties and fish burgers. They also had pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, beef gravy, cream of mushroom soup, scalloped potatoes, green beans, fruit cocktail and pineapple upside down cake. They ate well tonight.2 -
@Lindiemaep ,, Awwww TY TY TY TY!!
@Cseguin1 ,,, OH I AM SURE the residents LOVED having such a wonderful choice!! NICELY DONE!!! Sounds like you got to relax some and well hey that's also needed.3 -
@Tabatha_Cain: I love to hear the excitement in your writing as you make your wedding plans. Enjoy your Saturday of unscheduled time.
@LindieMaeP: Eggceptional job with the puns and I enjoy the cartoons.
@Dianedoessmiles1: I can't believe how greedy you are and how selfish some people can be. Shocking!!! You want everyone's share of the snow and no one is giving you any. Terrible!!! I wish I could be generous and send you the cold and snow but right now we only have cold.
It was a good day and got quite a bit accomplished. Went a little overboard on the calories tonight. I've finally learned how to make really good pancakes with lots of cinnamon and a dash of vanilla. And I've yet to figure out how to just make a wee batch.
Tomorrow's word is responsibility.
The photo today has a question attached: Does this guy look familiar or is it just me?

@NovemberGail ,,, LOLOL GOOD THING GF I was not drinking water when I read your post!! I'd of SPIT IT CLEAR ACROSS the floor, OVAH Izzy's head, and who knows where else!! LOLOLOL TY TY TY TY!! BUT SURELY someone WANTS to give me some snow??? Huh??? ANYONE tired of it? Oh my oh my. Today we did hit 50 of course since it was raining!! Even the weatherman called it a "Wash" tonight. LOL When they give up on our getting snow ,, well I did laugh.

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today I think my Mom wants me to come over in the afternoon to work on the flowers for the wedding. I really want to but I also want to spend time with my fiance. I have not seen him much in the last couple of days. Although I am going to have all week to spend time with him.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I just love helping people. I am a service worker at heart. I like physical work too. Anything to get my heart going.
@LindieMaeP - I love working on my flower arrangements. I still have more to get done but we will get there.
@CSEGUIN2 - I sometimes want to laze in bed some mornings. I don't though. All that food sounds good.
@NovemberGail - Thank you. I am super excited to get this wedding paid for. I love the idea of doing it all. I think some things need to be paid for before any other. We do have to start paying down the venue.
Well it is time to get some food. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Good morning had a good weigh in this morning and am drinking my first 16 ounces of water ! It's almost gone lol and then onto the next 16 ounces ! I hope you all are having a good weekend and relaxing or doing something you have been planning to do.
@Dianedoessmiles1 one must be careful to say it and not spray it eh !! good thing you held in that water !! Meeting this morning so I'll be off soon getting ready just have to go record my breakie !
@Tabatha_Cain hard to find time for folks when you have so much to do, but your an organized person, so you will be able to organzie your time to your advantage. Enjoy your flower creations with your mom. You might want to plan a "date night" with Joe once a week, I know other couples do this.
Since you all are flying to my stomping grounds I thought I would share some pictures through out the week. I'll see if I can find some older ones not shown before but no guarentees !!
2 -
@Tabatha_Cain,, can Joe (OH I HOPE I remembered his name right! LOL THANKS @Lindiemaep I DID IT RIGHT!) come with you to Moms and the 3 of you chat as you look at flowers? Some men hate doing that stuff, others do not mind it at all and once they see the progress started they find themselves AMAZED how much they enjoyed it. Hope you had a great day! I too, love working hard, with my hands, and feet!! BURN THOSE CALORIES OFF OFF OFF!! Oh I MISS WORKING at the store!
@Patti241,, I feel coldish today. I've already turned the heat up (but yesterday I had it mostly OFF since it hit 50!). We had icy roads earlier on. It's currently 33. STILL NO SNOW!!
@Coermierannie,, Do you enjoy a warm bath? I'd say HOT bath, but mine now need to be cooler ones. Grrr it makes my heart race so hard if it's hot, but I still enjoy them. That's how I am going to relax in a bit! Once I hit a few chats
@Lindiemaep ,,, TY TY TY for the pics of Vancouver!! Hey on Monday (WELL I HOPE we land on Monday!) will we see those flowers all around the place outside in parks etc? Giggle giggle, I know it's cold there also. I did run late this AM and joined the group online (NO ONE Did D2D! It was to icy! Now it's stopped so more are out and about) at 10:45 and stayed til 12:10 though didn't count that all. We got to giggling something nicely!! LOLOL We grabbed a different breakout room so we'd not distract others.3 -
Here's a hint I do not think many know of
Want to change your food tracker categories? Here's how: I am now tracking calories(This is the only one it insists on), carbs, fat, protein, sodium, and sugar. You can pick from many choices. When on your food diary click on "SETTINGS" on darker blue bar Next you'll see Food and Exercise Diary Settings under those you'll see a list of what you have now, these have arrows, click on those and an ENTIRE LIST will come up. You can do this for 5 of the options you may prefer YW!

Hi all hope you all doing well. Tabitha you wedding plans are coming right along, how exciting.
have a great new week. Here is some reasons to drink water. Hugs
4 -
Good afternoon everyone, it's a beauitiful day here in BC coming to a close - the sun came out and dried up all the rain and it was so warm it was like spring out there when I was out. I was sweating bullets !!! I could have worn shorts and been ok !! But now the sun is setting a nice orange, one thing I like about my apartment I can see the sunset from my room. Rain is back tomorrow - 40% but if it holds off I'll take a trip to Queen Elizabeth park after service tomorrow and see what's blooming !
@Dianedoessmiles1 we have winter flowers that bloom so we always have flowers, but this week is rain, it's needed to fill the water sheds so we have water - over a million people depend on it! Had a beautiful public discourse this morning entitled Bible Principles Can They Help Us Cope With Today's Problems. I wrote down all the scripture including Col 2:8 which I am going to review and look up in the study bible. The WatchTower study afterwards oh was so good ! I hope you enjoy your meeting tomorrow. We only have a few on Zoom on WEDs and FRI the rest is D2D or other. We have a good time and get a lot accomplished. Thanks for posting about how to change the nutritional values you want to track. Some might not know how MFP works for that.
I got my 4 glasses of 16 oz of water, I am pretty sure that is enough for today and still had 2 coffees and 1 mocha as well. Plus tea later, I like a nice relaxing tea at night - could be why I do potty runs in the middle of the night LOL Now I have to go figure out dinner, I really would like chinese but doubt I will have that. Another time I guess.3 -
Well, another challenge week begins (and I didn't read the LTGL until tonight. Failed miserably on water. So . . . I'll do my best to nail the drinking tomorrow.
@Dianedoessmiles1: I was feeling so mischievous last night when I wrote that entry. Knew your sense of humor would enjoy my loving rudeness.
Well, no one tried to guess what the silhouette of the photo of the tree was. Can anyone else see the Grinch? You should see me do the Rorschach Test.
Tomorrow's word is POWER.
Tonight the photo shows a tree with a mind of its own or MIND OVER MATTER.

Good Evening Everyone!
Today was sunny but cold. Did some reading this morning then took a nap. Then did some chores around the house before lunch and work. The residents had Chinese night. Again they ate very well. They even got 2 deserts. Tomorrow will be a long day. First is Church then going in to work. Will help the boss load if needed or help my friend with whatever she needs me to do. I also have to work my regular shift as it's the final one and we need to do a final clean and have a pizza party with the residents.1 -
@ALL Please READ over each challenge (LTGL) because I know on the PS4L team many have the water amount incorrect. When we read the LTGL in full (though we may know this one) we learn even more about why water is important. THANKS!!
@Kurtize ,, That's GREAT!!! THANKS!! What FINALLY got me to drink water was when I read it HELPS with WRINKLES!! Now I do NOT mind my wrinkles, but I do not want them any faster either!
@Lindiemaep ,, LOL As I started to read your post I was singing "ITSY BITSY SPIDER!" HAHAHA!! I am waiting to see if we are all on ZOOM tomorrow or not, I do want to be in person, but if we have no choice, or I am not well I am home. Good job on the water.
@Novembergail ,,, OH YOU KNOW ME WELL!! I sure did!! on the tree, I couldn't tell. Tonight's picture, that tree is one of COURAGE!! One of STRENGH with the I WILL NOT STOP THRIVING though my circumstances are not good, I WILL SURIVIVE!! Do you hear it being sung?
@Cseguin2, YUMMY CHINESE!! Did you all make it or it brought in? ENJOY the pizza with them!! OH NO DOUBT they are worried about "The new place" coming in. Sounds like you had a good day though which is GREAT!! Hope the final wrap up goes very well. it's always so sad to me to end something even if I am looking forward to that.2 -
@ALL I am copying and pasting a post from @MegLovesHistory she's new to the 5% Let's all please welcome her

Hi, I didn't know there was a place for us to chat on here!
So, I was in the navy about 8 years back. After my second son I got out. At the time I was at t 175lbs or so, I was getting closer to losing the baby weight when he was about 1.5years.
Then I got up to around 300lbs due to complacency and severe mental issues. Mentally I'm much better than I was. I've been fluctuating between 250-275 for a couple of years. And I'm TIRED of it!
Anyway, I'm trying to lose the weight without my mental stuff getting in the way, which means slowly and mostly by calorie-cutting and walking.
I've increased my water to about 100oz a day. I'm trying to get up to a gallon!
Question though: do any of y'all feel super bloated? Like after this first week I feel bigger than I was 😔3 -
@MegLovesHistory ,, SO HAPPY to have you with us.
Oh I am sure you'll get help here. With the bloating it can caused by various reasons,,, first question have you had much sodium (Salt)? It's in about everything we eat. I need to track that daily and am ALWAYS SHOCKED how easy it is to go over the amount I can have a day of 1500 mgs. Average for US is 2300 mgs. If you've eaten out likely that'd be why. Water will help to flush out sodium.
Now if it's not the normal for you to be bloated you may wish to talk to your Dr (always recommended) just to make sure things are well. More so if you are having any unusual pain.

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is going to be a busy day. We have church, then meeting our marriage mentors, and then we are going to my daughters for cake tasting. I am super excited. I really am. She is nervous. This is her first time doing this alone and she is nervous. I think she will do great. I am sure she will. She is an amazing baker. She has been baking since she was 9. She has always loved baking.
@LindieMaeP - Joe and I actually do date night once a week. Most weeks. Some rare times it doesn't happen but we may have to move the date around every week but we are getting date night. That is something that I felt was important in the relationship and Joe felt the same way.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - He did come with me to work on the flowers. It is great. He was talking away while my mom and I worked. He told us what he liked with the flowers. It was great.
@Kurtize - Yes they are coming right along. I am super happy about it.
Well it is time to get ready for church. I hope you all have a wonderful day,
Tabatha3 -
Good morning everyone.3
