Good morning everyone, the wind blew all the dark rain clouds away and we have some wind this morning but the sun is shining through and not playing hide and seek with those rain clouds!! So it's going to be a lovely day today and I look forward to my meeting tonight !
@Tabatha_Cain glad to hear your migrain is slowing lifting and you can ease up on the meds. Have a good day at work today and if you are doing the extra shift, have a good day there as well. My phone plan is up in 3 months, i've been waiting and waiting to get back to Iphone - BUT the Droid will be used on the MFP app as it interacts better and I can post pictures. It's a small thing really. They have so many plans now and mostly a "bring it back" plan, excuse me but I want to KEEP it .. so I will buy it outright - and I do not trade in my old phone, I give it to a Sister who has family members in the Philipines who can use it. So I gift it forward that way.
@Dianedoessmiles1 gladly do your laundry I love doing laundry and I love folding it and once upon a time I used to iron but of course those days be long gone ! How are you feeling today, are you behaving yourself ? How's the kitties doing ?
@Catwmncat I sure wish I could keep a phone that long but new tecnology intrigues me so I gotta have it but sometimes I have to wait longer, ins't piglet the cutest ??? Love your food choices again - your pictures especially of the popcorn cakes help me to have a healthier snack toward evening. I know have the plain with cream cheese light but the caramel ones would be plain by themselves, and be adicting so not buying them all the time LOL
@everyone, so how's your day going ? I hope it is a good one !!

good afternoon everyone! it is a very windy and mostly cloudy day here today. tomorrow night, there is supposed to be a lot of snow. then after that there is supposed to be some freezing rain. i am trying to get any outdoor errands done between today and tomorrow afternoon, so i do not have to go outside when it is really snowing. my daughter says hi to all. she is really enjoying her classes. she only has 3 courses this semester instead of 4. so she has some extra time to herself during the day. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep!1

@Dianedoessmiles1 The "gas up" was exactly what you needed. Glad you didn't eait any longer. It also appears some of the reports will be providing a little more insight for your doctors. Bit by bit the fog is lifting and insight to what's going on is becoming clearer. Smell vision would be a good thing at times, but other times not so much, LOL. Izzy is getting comfortable with Oscar while still establishing the ground rules. They will be curling up and cuddling soon... maybe.
@Tabatha_Cain Glad to hear the migraines are lessening without maxing the meds. Slow days at work can drag so hopefully you'll be busy enough for it to go quickly.
@LindieMaeP how nice that the wind blew the rain clouds away so the sun could come out and play. I'm glad that my food pictures inspire you to make better choices at times. That's part of the reason I post them, to hopefully give others ideas.

Hello and happy Tuesday.
@NovemberGail so glad for the good news. Love your pup. Hugs
Thank you for the the nice compliments on our picture.
It is another beautiful day here. In 80's slight breeze so not too warm. Love this weather and going to enjoy it while it is here (before it gets too hot).
Have a great rest of the day, hugs and blessings

OH dear !! Gene and I went to Superstore for ONE item - we took my little plastic cart as it is easier and we buy less when we take it. Gene knew we would get more then one thing LOL - while getting out of the car, I got the cart unfolded and then went to set my Iwatch for walking and the strong wind blew my empty cart into someone's car wheel and then it bounced off of that onto the side of the walk way!!! I said oh sorry but no one was there and I wasn't bright enough to get their plate number and have them paged in the store to actually appologize to them, nor did I have a pen and piece of paper to leave a note ( although the wind might have blown it AWAY)... so we got inside and I veered to the left and Gene said SEE knew you weren't coming for just one thing... of course not we needed TP ... not to mention mixed veggies AND his yogurt is sweeter then mine but I got enough of mine till Friday and I will do another shopping. I did pick up some Lindt chocolate and he picked up the TP and a loaf of bread - but I PAID .. .lol he can pay next time besides I get points for buying the little bags of mixed veggies. Anyway he carried the big TP and the wind blew against him and the TP he was having trouble walking it was so strong and cold !! I managed ok, it's my weight you see that anchors me LOL I wore my new shoes to help break them in and so far so good !!

Good Evening Everyone!
I will definitely post as I learn. That's kind of what last night was about. If I remember tomorrow I will post the name of the book we're reading.
Today has been mostly sunny, windy and chilly. It was also rest, weigh and TOPS day. I am down 1.25 lbs this week! Finally have the scale moving in the right direction. Now to keep it going. I was also the top loser of the group. This morning before the meeting started but after I weighed in I will laps around the room. It was funny some of the reactions I got. Normally I don't get there early enough to be able to do it. I also walked to and from the grocery store. On the way back I was carrying a 14 kg bag of dog food. Boy are my muscles sore. It was definitely a great workout. Calories are really high today but that's ok because I will be back on track tomorrow.2 -
@Tabatha_Cain ,,, WOOHOO that you got the migraine under control with 2 pills!! Hopefully they'll stop soon. And YEAH on a slow day too! Hope you enjoyed the day.
@Patti241,,, any snow headed your way? Up here 6 to 12"s between Wed and Fri tonight blahhhh maybe a tiny bit, not worth mentioning UNLESS WOOHOO they are WRONG and we get more! LOL!
@Lindiemaep ,, ENJOY Meeting tonight I will too. I'm going in person. Today I do feel better though not 100% of new normal, but enough to play. If it tires me out that's okay. Aww BOth Kitties were on the bed this afternoon when I laid down. Neither was upset both fell asleep. Awwww. STRONG WIND!!!
@Cormierannie,, Did you tell your D to enjoy it while she can? Earlier this week I did remind my GD who as a teen thought school "was to hard, I spend to much time there!" of that conversation. I had told her someday she'd miss all the free time ,,, LOL She did the typical teen thing and rolled her eyes. WELL the other day she said "now I understand." I admit I DID GIGGLE and smile.
@Catwmncat,, Awww TY TY TY The GAS UP Did help. When I said that to the ER Dr yesterday he did laugh!! Awwww they are doing better!! Izzy is not hissing hardly any more.
@Kurtize,, ENJOY the beautiful weather!! Eighty is to much for me but lovely for others.

I forgot to meal plan last night but dinner is a gouda cheese filled burger on a bed of lettuce with mushrooms, onion and french salad dressing - the coleslaw has an avocado ranch dressing ...

With the spring weather, I am finally outside more consistently. One of the smaller trees had uprooted, and I used the loppers to cut off the smaller branches. The mule was filled up four times with the remnants. Some of my muscles are speaking up tonight. My friend, Aleve, is quieting them down.
I sure feel for all those in line for the storms. In Missouri, we are in a donut hole and will have some rain and will continue with the warmer temps.
Tomorrow's word is FAITH.
2 -
@Kurtize that sure sounds like lovely weather. Hope you were able to go outside and enjoy it today.
@LindieMaeP Thats some crazy wind. Thought you were going to say Gene blew away, LOL! Many years ago when I worked at Walmart we always joked that it cost $50 to park at a regular store (don't think there are any left) and $100 to park at a supercenter... you can double or triple that these days, no such thing as one or two items once you're inside. Your burger "salad" looks Delish!😋 I've never seen or heard of white French salad dressing before.
@NovemberGail using loppers to cut branches and overgrowth is exactly what got me in decent shape and helped me to lose the bulk of my weight. If only I could get the motivation back to play outside again. Bet you sleep well tonight.
Tuesday's Eats
Cottage Cheese/Yogurt with Berries and Dark Chocolate Chips to Break the Fast. Soup and Ham/Swiss Sammie for Dinner and Plain Caramel Rice Cakes for Dessert.

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well. Today we are expecting an snow and ice storm to come through. Not sure I will be online tomorrow as we may not have power. Just wanted you all to be aware. I will let you know how it all fairs tomorrow.
@LindieMaeP - I hope your meeting went well. That is good that you are moving it forward. I look forward to the time when I can switch to iphone. The wind was bad yesterday.
@Catwmncat - It has been going pretty decently at work. Things are going to be busy today.
@CSEGUIN2 - Nice that you were the top loser for your group.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I am hoping it does better. We will just have to work through it. The head has been feeling better.
@NovemberGail - Glad you are getting spring weather. We have ice storms today and tomorrow.
Well it is time to get some food. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Good morning everyone3

good morning everyone! it is a mostly cloudy day here today. the snow has already started to come down outside. it is supposed to snow even heavier by the early evening here, with a chance of some ice pellets. then, overnight, there is also a chance of some freezing rain. i am getting my grocery shopping done early this afternoon, so i do not have to be outside when the snow is coming down even heavier. my daughter says hi to all. she is enjoying her time at school and she is spending a lot of time with her friends. next month is her birthday. she will be 18 years old by the end of next month and she is already making plans about what to do once she turns 18. i can remember when she was a newborn and i was able to take her for her first walk. where does the time go? she is such a lovely young lady. she enjoys learning new things every day. she is working at her part time job after school today. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i did my strength training workout earlier this morning and i really enjoyed it. i went for a walk a while ago and i feel great! i will be doing some dancing later on. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.2

Good morning everyone! First time posting here!
Beautiful picture @NovemberGail.
@Catwmncat - Hey Cat! Nice to see your post! That sandwich looks delicious!
@Tabatha_Cain - We are in the same path for that storm. They are predicting the worst ice and snow storm in 10 years for us! Stay safe and warm!
@macrat12 - WTG on closing all hearts! That is quite the step count. Love the quotes about giving sincere compliments to people and showing positivity!
@cormierannie- stay safe! Nice to get the shopping done and hunker down. Hello to your daughter! Way to go on the workouts!
Not sure if it will work but I’m going to try and post a picture from my hike Monday!

Its showing up really big on my end...lol. Not sure how to shrink it down!3
-
@Dianedoessmiles1 -aw I hope you and her are both feeling well soon! Sometimes texting all day long is just what you need. We are getting snow showers and freezing rain.
@NovemberGail -aw secret life of beagles.
@Catwmncat -that sounds nice! Yeah we vacation in Florida every summer. It is definitely hot!4 -
Good morning folks, it's another iffy day weather wize here today but I'll muddle through it ok. I just have to remember to meal plan the night before ! Nothing much on my adgenda today so just chillin and will get my exercise in here and there in 10 min increments.
@ginnaboots welcome welcome, post away as you wish .. the picture is lovely, on a cell phone it is not huge but on the desk top it is. There are several ways to measure the picture depending on the program you use. I use mostly my Android phone and amend it according to direction that @Catwmncat gave me. It works pretty good. Lets see. Go into Galary, select picture, select pencil like icon to adjust, select the three dots and then find the adjust icon and select how small. Most likely won't make sense till you actually go through it. On Iphone dunno never played with it and seldom post from Iphone. Maybe someone else knows. I should though since I love my Iphone !! But for now the droid does the pics. On the desktop, no idea still ahve to figure that one out ...
@Catwmncat - The color of the dressing on the burger salad should have been a clue it was NOT French dressing, I never buy that LOL It was ranch but a differnt ranch from the Avocado. Hope your day is going well.
@Tabatha_Cain stay as safe as you can and don't go out unless you have to with that weather, and having family across the Detroit River I be watching to see how they are doing, I hope they do not loose power but they may have a generator - my brother is in the process of retro fitting a van for camping ... their new lifestyle ... to each their own right ? Anyway, do stay safe and glad the migrain is slowly leaving.
@NovemberGail beautiful picture indeed! Good word too !!
@Dianedoessmiles1 how was your meeting last night ? Ours went so fast ! it was good - did you manage in person ok? Had a lot on Zoom last night maybe because of the weather ... are you seeing snow ? Are you feeling ok today ?
@everyone hello hello have a good Wednesday !!

@LindieMaeP - Thank you so much for telling me how to shrink it down. I will probably have to read it a few more times to actually do it....lol!
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Hi Diane! Hope you have a fantastic day dear sister!4 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a cold, snowy, rainy, and freezing rain. Had another great day of exercise. For my 3 mile HIIT walk video I decided to try with my weights as that's what I use to do. I was aiming for 1 mile with 3 pound weights but did almost 2 miles. Finished the video with no weights. Did some dishes and laundry, studied and played Wii sports with Hubby. Got my exam back and got 96% on it. Still need to check the one I got wrong to make sure I agree as I have found mistakes before. Supposed to be going to Ash Wednesday service tonight but not sure I want to take the chance of having to skate to and from Church.3 -
Happy Wednesday. As beautiful as it was yesterday, today rained most of the day. The sun did come out around 2, but pretty windy. Temps are nice 73. Organized my file cabinets, now I can find things.
@LindieMaeP - that meal looked delicious.
@CSEGUIN2 - congratulations on exam score.
I will watch the zoom service of my church in Oregon's Ash Wednesday service. Have a great rest of the day.

iPhone picture of dinner
This picture is from the droid - I played with both phones while my dinner cooled. Now I will enjoy it and hope you all enjoy your evening and what ever plans you have. I still need to get some stepping done, so will do that after dinner.

@ginnaboots: Great place for hiking! Loved your photo, too.
@LindieMaeP: I had a wonderful dinner but your photos made me hungry all over again.
@Catwmncat: Loved the video--me get up and go has gone up and went. Especially after yesterday's workout. I slept throughout the night and got up at 9:30 a.m. Even my furries couldn't wake me.
Good evening everybody!
Weather is active throughout the States. Our temps got up to 70 and then the risk of tornadoes. We got the wind but no damage and no tornadoes in this part of the world. From the looks of our pond, we can still use the rain.
With the start of Ash Wednesday, I decided that one practice is staying away from Brownies. It seems like I went through a kind of withdrawal around 12:30 p.m. Looks like this will be a good Lenten practice.
Tomorrow's word is BIRTH.

@Catwmncat ,, LOL Hey I figure super stores mean SUPER SHOPPING!!! I pretty much stick with my list, even MORE so in one!! I'm pretty good at that too!
@Tabatha_Cain,, Glad you are feeling a little bit better. Hope if you lose power you are prepared for that!! Horrible to be cold. That's the one thing that'd be very hard for me. Thankfully with the generator that's not an issue. Of course I lose everything else, but STILL!! And I can cook in the community room or if I were wishing to do so, set up a few things outside my door and bring out a few things. We did it on the top floor ,but it was quite a group up there, everyone always helped everyone.
@Patti241 ,, HI Patti!! Hope you'll be okay tomorrow!
@Cormierannie ,,, Enjoy the storm.
@Ginnaboots ,, HI GINNA!! WOOHOO!! SO HAPPY to see you herah!! ABOUT TIME you get some snow, we may get morah since ours is all snow of 8 to 12"s. I'd share, but well. LOLOLOL YOU KNOW ME!! LOLOLOL!!!
@Bookienj,, BIG STORM this is indeed!! Seems like the upper 48 are mostly getting it and quite a bit!!! PLEASE BE SAFE!! Hopefully you do NOT need to go out. Awww Oscar is all curled up in my lap. A www why are kittens SO CUTE??? He's pretty big, but he'll be 10 months old soon. Almost full grown. Izzy is doing well, and she's back THANKFULLY in her regular routine!! PHEW!!! or almost.
@Lindiemaep ,, HI Linda or is it Lindah!? Hehehehe ,, Sure hope you survived the wind okay. Careful for you too with the weather! I was able to be in person and really enjoyed that!! Now it' seems EONS ago which is funny because it was just over 24 hours ago!! Today is an "okay" snow should be here around 10:30 tonight so in about an hour. How did you cook the chicken? I can tell the 2nd picture on my computer is smaller, not a huge lot, but it is. THANKS!
@Cseguin2 ,,, WOOHOO On the exam!! WTG!! WOW!! Hopefully it'll help you secure a job you'd enjoy when you find the one you'd like OH YOU'LL KNOW Instantly!!! WOW GOOD job on the walking with weights!! Glad you had a good day.
@Kurtize,,, Oh we need the rain also. At 73 that's right about the PERFECT Temp in my book!! Hopefully the sun will shine tomorrow for you, but you KNOW I'll be so HAPPY watching MY SNOW FALLING DOWN!!! LOL As happy as I can be!! It's the simple things in life. There's just such a peacefulness when it's falling. YEAH YEAH on being organized!! I NEED to do that too!
@Novembergail ,, how's the cooking coming along? Glad you enjoyed supper tonight!! It's always great when we do. I made my basic sauce tonight, it can be used for so much with some different spices added. LOL tonight a friend said "You have changed so much. You are now helping me to explore more with my own cooking." she has always cooked, nice to hear it. You can do the same!! LOVE the iris picture!!3 -
@NovemberGail sorry to make you hungry again, but it's mostly protein and good carbs ( corn is my fav it will always be a good carb even though it's really a grain!!) Lovely picture, thank you!
@Dianedoessmiles1 that is one of the rotisary chicken legs I get from Safeway in packages of 4 or sometimes 5 - even 6 - I only eat dark meat and I prefer a rotisiary as it allows all the greeze to drip out and I dont' bring so much home. PLUS now they add spices on it, so like that too. Now about my name, you can call me Lindie, Linda or Lindr but NOT late for dinner eh !!! Never gonna happen .... LOL Glad Oscar and Izzy being good and you are suppose to keep the snow .. yet we might get it this weekend, in that case not going out. My knees really hurt today so had to put some oil on them - and double up on the meds... but hopefully it's just the arthritice from the change in weather and will be back to normal tomorrow. In Volunteer SErvice we were talking about April 4th, the Memorial, and that might be an inperson for me... we will see... it's such an important event! I'll do what I can eh !!
I still need 5 min of exercise to get 120 to report so off I go ....

Wednesday's Eats
Fast Breaker ~ Baked Oatmeal and Apple Chicken Sausage.
Dinner ~ Creamy Gnocchi Chicken Soup
After Dinner ~ Premier Protein Mixed Berry CerealOh my goodness... I take a half a day off and look who has joined us....@ginnaboots!!!! Welcome to the Community. So nice to see you here, I think you will like it much better than the newsfeed... I do, all the cool people hang out here! Beautiful picture.
@Tabatha_Cain Hope you keep your power and stay safe.
@LindieMaeP I knew the white dressing was ranch, even told Diane on the phone, but just had to make sure 100% as you do have some different things in Canada. Your Dinner looks yummy. I think the color settings on the Droid make it look more appetizing.
I don't have an iPhone so I don't know if this is helpful or not but here's a link to resizing pictures. https://www.howtogeek.com/726913/how-to-resize-or-reduce-photo-size-on-iphone-and-ipad/
@NovemberGail Woo Hoo! You got some good, well deserved sleep!! When Lent is over and you get a craving for brownies you can make them with a box mix and can of diet soda. That's it, nothing else and they taste great if you get a giid mix and don't overbake. As a matter of fact they are so good I don't make them very often because I usually overindulge. https://www.thebakingfairy.net/2012/01/diet-coke-brownies/

@Lindiemaep , Sleep well!! @Ginnaboots is your convention nearby? Linda, LOLOL NEVER LATE for supper!! Learned as a kid with 4 brothers that was NEVER A GOOD Thing!! LOLOL!!! I LOVE the SMELL of chicken, but I am not a big eater of it though again I LOVE THE SMELL!!! I hope you can do the in person on 4/24. I'll do my BEST to also. I do enjoy in person so much more so. Are you AP in March? I am, well it's not been read yet, but very likely.
@Catwmncat,,, LOL We caught up on the phone tonight.
If anyone hasn't joined the In Between Challenge we do suggest it so much . WHY? We've looked at those who do join (Back on Sparks when I was on the Dawggie team) those who stay on their team over the break are much more successful on the next challenge and during the break they continue all the healthy habits they've been working on.4 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning especially due to the storm that hit the some states. Here in Michigan it was suppose to be really bad. I am not seeing that here at least it is super bad. Still have to have some driving on the roads to be certain and some people in our area did lose power. We have not lost power but we still have some time with the storm before it is completely done. Today I have to work both jobs.
@ginnaboots - I hope you are safe. So far we have maintained power and things other than being icy seem to be ok. Love the photo of your hike.
@LindieMaeP - Thank you. So far everything seems to be going good. It does look icy out so I am going to be careful when I go out.
@CSEGUIN2 - Yeah they cancelled our Ash Wednesday service. They did not want people trying to get out in this weather.
@NovemberGail - That is great that you decided what to give up for lent. I am still deciding. Probably won't do anything this year.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - So far we have not lost power. That could change since we still have this morning to go with the ice storm. My main concern is Joe driving 34 minutes to work this morning.
@Catwmncat - For right now we are good. We still have power.
Well it is time to get ready to get some food. I hope you all have a great day.
