    It is cold outside, but the sun is shining. It is a bright, bright sunshiny day. I plan to enjoy the view and stay warm inside. 😊

    “RVRita from NM (I live in an RV and manage a campground with my DH)“

    We need to talk! I am a Sister on the Fly and we are always looking for an RV campground to have events at.

    I have a 2021 Retro 166 that I pull with my 2008 Tacoma. Unless I get sick like I did this winter, I go camping regularly year round.

    Jeannie in Edgewood NM

    Come to Roswell! Bottomless Lakes State Park! We have been here for 5.5 years now hosting/managing the campers. I would love to meet you and visit!

You can make your list as long as you like...heat, air conditioning, water, sewer, a roof over my head, a car, internet, electronics, clothes, shoes, medicines, food, means of cooking, refrigerator, use of a freezer, use of a washer/dryer, books, writing utensils, everything I use every day!

    Happy Birthday Sue in WA!
    Welcome @Jenni4W. Oh boy have I struggled to incorporate fitness into my lifestyle. What’s helped me has been finding activities I like (line dancing, dog walking) and linking my must-do-Physical Therapy exercises to something I do every morning (after weigh-in, before readings). Keep trying different approaches until you find, like Machka said, what works for you!
    Welcome @creechfamily9004 Cindy from MO. You are so close to your goal, well done!
    New ladies, be sure to watch for the link to February’s thread. Barbie will post it toward the end of the day.
    Karen 4 dog walks a day, WOW!
    Kylia “flex tape” LOL!
    Lanette re: 2nd breakfast,Joe is the tallest hobbit EVER. Haven’t clicked the buy button yet, but this is the PXL, relaxed fit, waterproof rain jacket for me: https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/82605?productId=1343497 Hope the lilac mist will still be in stock when I muster the courage (or when LL Bean offers a sale.)
    Lisa yours to Machka and to Jenni4W. Well said. Mixed blessing on the cancellation, immediate relief vs postponed dread. :cry:
    Katla your sunshine on snow view sounds beautiful… far away from me ;) Would any of your neighbors have some immodium to tide you over till your DD takes you shopping?
    Beth and Ginny yours to Machka.

    Beautiful clear (chilly) blue sky day, so time to get up and out before the wind kicks up.
    When it gets too windy, will tackle that pile of papers-to-be-filed, :astonished:

    Lighter, lovelies!

    January: Move more, fuel better, live NOW.

    Worked then went to the gym (yea!), stopped at the Salvation Army to make a donation (and, of course, go in). Then went to Sam’s to get my glasses fixed, they were too tight at the ear.

    It’s drizzling out right now. Hopefully, it’ll stop so I can go for my walk

    Jenni – a while ago I used to abhor going to the gym every day. So I started M,W, and F, eventually I added in Sat. Little at a time. Take baby steps and pretty soon you’ll be craving exercise every day. I need to exercise first thing in the morning or else it doesn’t get done. The only exception is when I go to the gym on Tuesdays. I go right from work. If I come home first – forget it. Another thing that I do is plan a few days in advance what I’m going to do. Sometimes I admit that I do change it up at the last minute, but I have a plan. Actually, now that I think about it, I started exercising only T and Thurs. Then I advance to M, W and F. Then every day. Now that I’m working a few hours in the morning, I don’t get to exercise every day but I do try to get something in on some days when I don’t work. For me, at first, I needed to go to the gym. Needed someone to hold me accountable. When I got into the habit, then I was able to do it at home. To me, the disadvantage to doing it at home is that I can easily fall into bad habits (like not keeping my spine straight)

    Barbie – I’ve lately gotten to listening to the “Eat this Not That” podcasts when I go for my walk

    Lisa – I hate being cold, too. At work just going into the refrigerator to put my prep away is plenty for me, thank you. I’m so sorry the colonoscopy was canceled. At least you didn’t have to do the prep. Enjoy the egg!

    Cindy – welcome!

    Rori and Lisa – Vince just bought a lot of Girl Scout cookies and I thought of you two when he did

    The one and only thing that’s good about January being over is that it makes it closer to when we go to FL

    Tried tilapia for lunch for the first time. It is unlikely I’ll try it again. My digestive system is not happy. :noway:

    Machka ... unless your MRI results are shared with you through an online "chart" or some other source, you need to see the doctor for your results, don't you? Don't borrow trouble from tomorrow ...

    Beth

    My doctors have just texted me that my results are within normal parameters for various things in the past. I got a text like that regarding my blood work last week.

    Doctors here are so booked up they would rather not have you in if you don't need to be.

    Anyway I will get the results in the app next week and my Dr appointment is in 3 weeks.


    Lanette ... I don't find MRIs any noisier than a bus or snoring husband. They give you ear plugs and headphones, then play music through the headphones. Very relaxing.
