Hey everyone!5

@ALL THANKS!! I did read though the chat. Tonight I am going to be busy for the In Between Challenge and it'll take a bit of time, plus I've not eaten yet (Its just after 7) supper, and I would like to get in another 35 mins of exercise (I have in 55, I'd like 35 more for 90,,, I am trying to earn the SUPER BADGE on our team that gives them for doing at least 90 or more minutes of exercise or 5 days a week or more. SO I am not slacking off, but hehehehe you knew that. Izzy does have the cold Oscar brought in, so she's resting on her own today and last night. I HOPE she feels better fast, it's not a bad cold and tonight she almost came out to see him, but said "NAHHHH!!" AND BACK in she went. I did giggle. I'm heading into the bedroom to use my laptop there and spend one on one with her.4

Good Evening Everyone!
Yesterday was rest, weigh and TOPS day. Gained another pound. Extremely frustrated but know if I keep doing the right things and improve on others it will eventually turn around. Took the rest part literally. Did get a small walk in at the mall getting Hubby's gift. I also used the holiday as a cover to eat my feelings. Hubby went out to get my gift after lunch. He came home with 6 long stem red roses and an Amazon gift card. He also informed me that something would be delivered the next day.
Today I completed all my workouts, did dishes and laundry, and also studied. Did some organizing and also played Wii sports with Hubby. My delivery came and it is a beautiful flower as arrangement. I feel very loved and special this year.
I tried to post the pictures of the flowers but it wouldn't work today.2 -

Good Evening, all ~
This is one of those days where I'm glad that none of my plans were written in stone. Got a phone call to say that one of our guests needed to release her pet who had leukemia. We are fortunate that we know a vet who specializes in putting down pets at your residence. We all gathered to say goodbye to Ben and had a touching service in gratitude to such a sweet little dog. Afterwards we gathered and had lunch that brought some healing to the day.
Later I went to the west side of the property and picked up branches and took out two rather large wild multifloras. The mule was quite full when I took the brush to the ravine. Then Billie got two walks today since I am not letting her run wild on that foot. I think I will sleep tonight.
The beautiful weather of 60 degrees will disappear tomorrow and tumble into the 20's. Brrrrrrr.
Confession time: I ate a lot of the wrong things but didn't overeat. When I am having feelings, my cravings for sweets goes up.
Tomorrow's word is healing. (That seems to come up a lot.)
So glad to hear that some of you enjoyed your Valentine's Day! Enjoyed all the posts--except hearing that Oscar brought a cold home to share with Izzy 😞. Have a great Purrsday!2 -
Good Morning Airport Friend:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today I again work both jobs. I am hoping it will be a good day. I learned last night how to do a soft serve cone. Lets just say I need lots of practice.
@LindieMaeP - We are working on the stress. I am sure we can get it taken care of.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I hope you are able to get everything done.
@CSEGUIN2 - That is great. Those gifts are amazing. It is ok that you ate some feelings. I do it too.
@NovemberGail - I get the need for sweets. I t just happens. I really need those sweets sometimes.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day

Wednesdays Eats
Fast Breaker ~ Soup and a Buffalo Chicken Blue Cheese Sammie on Dave's Thin Good Seed.
Dinner ~ Baked Chicken Thigh, Sweet Potato and Squash w/ Onions.
Dessert ~ Coffee Chocolate Chip Bar and a Sea Salt Chocolate Covered Caramel.
@LindieMaeP thank you for the kind words but I'm not so sure many would think I look fabulous in what I don't wear.🤣😂
@NovemberGail Such a blessing that you all were able to be there for the guest when she needed to be surrounded with love. I tend to gravitate to the sweets whenever the emotions hit as well and its a constand battle right now. The picture you posted reminded me of a heart with a spot that needed to be healed.3 -
Good morning, just finished scarfing down breakfast - well almost lol it was the usual breakfast - maybe tomorrow will be different and a picture will follow. Nothing spectacular to do today other then exercise and cleaning and maybe a few laps to the mailbox downstairs and back, sometimes I do it just for the steps... it all helps...
@Tabatha_Cain hope both shifts go well for you - soft ice cream, you'll be a pro before you know it... just don't eat your mistakes LOL 🙄😉😂
@Catwmncat still cannot get Dave's bread these days - oh oh oh wish I could miss it but life goes on - I had chicken last night too but no sweet potato - you know CAT you would look fabulous in a potato sack cause you would KNOW how to wear it !! BUT at my age I look better with clothes ON then OFF !!! so ON they stay LOLOLOL 😉😂😂
@melissaaridgeway hello hello and welcome !! How you doing ? lolmelissaaridgeway wrote: »Hey everyone!
@NovemberGail I am sure that cleaning helped with the saddness of the day - it is so hard to loose a furbaby - or any loved one....
@everyone, do have a wonderful day on this PURSDAY !! and have fun - you can do it !!!

@Tabatha_Cain I am an Ice Cream Junkie and vanilla soft serve is my all time favorite.🍦😋 I'll be happy to eat all your practice mistakes, but hopefully you are a fast learner, my waist is quite large enough already.😂 Hope you had a great day!
@LindieMaeP Your so funny... I'm pretty sure we are very close in age and I look better with clothes on as well!

@Cseguin2,,, So sorry about the gain. Have you reset your tracker in the past month? Or gone to https://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html ? Life changes, we change, perhaps what had worked in the past worked very very well, but may not be now. By redoing our stats and following what it suggests though we may not wish to do so, can make a difference. Around emotions, OH MAN it seems ALL of us are going through so much. Oh so very very much then ever before. I do encourage actually everyone or most everyone to see if perhaps talking to a counselor could help. Many of us are not as healthy as we were, or our circumstances in life have changed (some of us drastically) etc. Etc. Right now Connie work and where what you can find is a stressor. I know our unemployment office has job counselors who know not just of jobs, but if you'd like further training, how you can get that often WITHOUT COST!! The job of your dreams may just literally around the corner!! If you desire that. If my health was better though I am not at all young, I'd seriously consider going to school for certification to work with children in elementary school. I LOVED working in the classroom, my pay would of been higher. There are options to help us deal with stress. Its such a hard time in our history.
@Patti241,,, did you all hit the 60s today? We are close to it. Hmmm it's FEBURARY!!! OR it's SUPPOSED to be. SIGH!! I miss our blizzards, and yet, I am not healthy enough to shovel or even get the snow off the car. I do have a neighbor who does it though for those who wish at a very very kind rate. My friend who is a co owner does not want to pay, it's really not much.
@Novembergail ,, that's so kind of you all to have such places available so the guests can have any resources needed. I belong to Nextdoor ,,, in that I had read about a local vet I had NO CLUE is here. I took Oscar there and I LOVED IT!! VERY MUCH SO!! I'm going to make Izzy an appointment! It's small it's a nice small place that the Vet is the owner!! Therefore Izzy and Oscar will have the vet who will know them. WOOHOO!!! Where I've gone for almost 45 years has grown to big and vets are in and out of there really fast!! NO TY TY TY!! Izzy looks like she's feeling better today, but her breathing isn't up there up to it's normal "not that good" but, she's out here with me and looks happy.
@Tabatha_Cain ,, Awww TY TY TY a good part of what I needed to do last night is done. It was fun and interesting though. I'll take one of those cones please!! Though presentation is nice, at least the ice cream machine works!! Hmmm the MC place that's RARE or at least it's VERY rare here. I know someone who worked at the MC place who said it wasn't down they just didn't want to clean it. SIGH SIGH!!
@Catwmncat ,, YUMMY on that sandwich!! Buffalo chicken blue cheese!! OH MY OH MY!! Was good talking to you last night though you HUNG UP ON ME (LOLOL she's whine and say it was an error LOLOLOL) Oh I'll help you a TINY TINY Bit with @Tabatha_Cain practice cones. LOL
@Lindiemaep ,,,GO For the steps!!! Indeed, right now awwww Izzy is out here with me and on my lap and Oscar is in the bedroom. He'd rather be out be out here , but LOL She's purrring so LOUDLY!! And I do hear him playing in there as a happy boy.
@Melissaridgeway ,, WELCOME to the 5% Challenge chat!! Please ask ANY question(s) you have!! And pull up a chair!! It's nice and cozy here around the fireplace!

@Cormierannie ,, Hopefully you do not need to go out tonight!2

Good Evening Everyone!
Thanks for the support. I know it will eventually come off. I know my calories are not helping but at least I keep trying. I am just use to having a little hiccup and then getting back on track. This is a huge mountain.
Today has been cold and cloudy. Completed all workouts, studied, did dishes, laundry and decluttering, worked on my TOPS program for Tuesday and played Wii sports with Hubby.

Happy Thursday, hope your day has gone well. Our son is arriving tonight and will be in Lindale tomorrow, we haven't had a visit in 2 years so we are really looking forward to it. Have a great Friday and weekend. Hugs and blessings
Pause to smell the roses, to breathe, to take a quiet moment for yourself.
Let today be a day to remember that you get to CHOOSE how you spend your time.

@Cseguin2 ,, You are an amazing woman!! A very strong woman, we know you'll be fine. We ALL go through various situations/feeling etc. that can knock us for a bit. BUT it's usually during these times we are doing our HARDEST work, and figuring things out.
@Kurtize ,, that's so SUPER Exciting!!ENJOY that visit!! Oh I have NO DOUBT YOU WILL!!! CHOOSE how we spend the time is a wise thing to do. We can fall into a routine and not realize how much wasted time we do. But, if we were to write down for the day the details of what we do, we could take that wasted time for ourselves or to do something very meaningful.3 -
Long day and I'm just going to call it a night.
Word for tomorrow is DISCIPLINE. I know I need to take that word seriously.
Anyone else ready for spring????2 -

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well. Today is going to be a good day. I hope. I have a doctor appt for my migraines. They are back with a vengeance. I use to have them when my kids were little and then they stopped for about 7 years and now they are back really bad. So I am not sure what to do about them other than go to the doctor.
@LindieMaeP - Last night I ended up leaving my day job and calling off my night job due to a migraine. It was bad yesterday and I slept from 12 pm to 5 pm and then again from 7 pm to 5 am. I am still feeling like the migraine might come back today. When making the soft serve I do not eat my mistakes. That would easily increase my waist line.
@Catwmncat - I love soft serve ice cream. I didn't do too bad with my second and 3rd time doing it. Plus the kids don't care what they look like.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - That makes me wonder because a lot of our MC's in town don't have working ice cream machines. Now I wonder is it truly broken or do they just not want to mess with it.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day.

Good afternoon everyone, it's been a great day and the sun finally stopped hiding behind the clouds and decided to join the day !! I got a good walk in and picked up my dress that was altered - it fits great !! I tried it on as soon as I got home, and am happy with the results. The other dress I will leave at the length it is and just enjoy wearing it.
@Tabatha_Cain oh no to migrains and leaving work early, your weather has been yo yoing from what i see for Ontario - my daughter gets migrains as well and was told to take magnesium for it, makes on go but helps with the migrain - do you have meds you can take ? My mom used to get them too and she would spend days in a dark room - but I do not get them and I am happy I do not get them. I can get other head aches though...I hope you are feeling better!
@Kurize enjoy your visitors !!
@Catwmncat that's sweet that you got to meet up with another team mate !! I've done that and it's very nice when you can meet someone face to face .... your eats are so good .. thanks ... now it's FRIDAY and tomorrow I have planned my meals as follows: B - CATURDAY - we all know B is for breakfast lol anyway it's all written out by B, L, D and on the shelf in the kitchen LOL I'll post pics tomorrow maybe !!

Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been cold and snowy. But the sun did come out for a bit in the afternoon. Today was another productive day. With all the usual tasks done. Struggled with procrastination for some exercises. I did update my nutrition ranges. My calories were upped. Not sure I like that but we'll see what happens. But won't matter if I can't stay in the right range.
2 -
Hi all,
For some reason I am more tired than usual, but reading everyone's news is a pick-me-up.
@Tabatha_Cain: I am so sorry that you are getting migraines. Will pray that the doctor finds a solution. You don't need that right now.
@Kurtize: Have fun with family!!!
@Dianedoessmiles1: Billie is doing well and is now having more freedom again. The pain medicine is keeping her more quiet, along with the antibiotics. All is good!
@Catwmncat: I am going to try that recipe. It looks quite doable and I love froze muffins. How fun to have time with Kate. Perfect day, if you ask me.
@LindieMaeP: Glad your day was good and you got your dress.
@Patti241 and @bookieNJ hope you all have a good day.
@macrat12: True words!
Tomorrow's word is ACCEPTANCE.

@Tabatha_Cain ,,, Was the Dr able to help you with the migraines? Ohhh according to my friend who's worked in 4 different MCs it's that they do not want to clean the machine. Sure hope your weekend will be okay! You are such a kind person.
@Patti241 ,,, HI Patti!! Hope you enjoyed the day!
@Bookienj ,,, BUNGLE UP!!! Stay warm!!
@Kurtize ,,, SO EXCITING!! ENJOY BIG TIME!!! Oh we KNOW you will!!! Very happy for you its so hard when we do not see the kids/family as often as we wish!! MANY Days I wish we still lived in the times where family were all together.
@Lindiemaep ,, OH NICE on the 🌞 and even MORE So that you LOVE the way the dress fits!! That's SUPER NEAT!! Oh I have NO DOUBT you'll wear it well!!!
@Cseguin2 ,,, OH MAN I can't snow up here. Wahhhhh!!! I'd REALLY cry if Texas LOL got more than we did, but so far!! I was so unsure when my calorie range went up, but it did help me lose. Its so easy tp procrastinate ,, it's something though I "put off." Pun intended, though if I do it to much, it can be an issue for me.
@Novembergail ,, I LOVE the chat for that reason also, it SPURS ME On to be as healthy as I can be. To read all you put, it's motivational. TY TY TY ALL for being here!!! Right now I am active on 4 teams to do with the 5% and it can get so busy (We are setting up the in between challenge teams) that I can't always find the time to comment as I wish I could, but I still read on through them.
If you've not yet, please remember to sign up for the In Between Challenge. Why? Think to when you do not (if you've not, but I know quite a few here are on the IBC and were on Sparks also) when you came back to the next seasonal 5% challenge, had you continued on a healthy journey, food and exercise wise? Many struggle so hard on that, which is why on Sparks the IBC was started by the Dawggie team, noticing many members were gaining at times, what they lost during the challenge,,,, and it saddened the leaders so much, the idea was born!! Here's the link in case anyone needs it (We have others who read through the chat on a daily basis, we are learning that happens more than we thought who may see this also)

@Kurtize Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!! Nothing better than a long overdue visit with loved ones.
@LindieMaeP When that sum comes out and shines down upon you it makes everything seem easier and brighter. So glad that you were able get a good walk in and pick up the dress. Glad it was done correctly and you are pleased with the results. Great job planning out the Caturday meals. Look forward to seeing your eats.
