Frustrated with the scale as I've had 3 good weeks and have basically maintained.
@wishfuljune I don't think I knew you were from Rhode Island! What part? That is where I grew up! My parents and sister still there there in the small town of Richmond. I go and visit at least once a year and will be going up the end of July to the beginning of August.

Hello Waistaways,!
I'm Yinka. 60 years old and married with a grown up son. I live in Worcestershire, UK and I work from home as an Artificial Intelligence and Land Referencing educator.
I have been carrying a surplus weight of about 40lb for an embarrassing amount of time and I recognise that I am going to have to make some proper grown up food choices to make any real in-roads. I just need to tell my stomach and mind to be more co-operative! Maybe May will be the start! Especially as I have arranged a trip to Virginia, US to stay with our son in the autumn.
Welcome to all our new members and returners.
And ... I shall miss you terribly, Liselyn @jugar.4 -
Well here comes Wednesday! I'll be heading home tomorrow. We will be having a memorial service for dad on the 18th of May, and it is going to be quite a crowd, I'm sure. Lots of music, lots of memories - I think it will be a special time.
For now, it will be good to get back home and my usual routines (exercise!!!). My horse is surely awfully scruffy, and will need to get back to exercise too.
Tonight's reminder - due through Wednesday:

Wooohooo I did it, I hit my goal of 145 before my vaca, with 2 weeks to spare... I am over here dancing I am so happy. But not to much I have a terrible headache and my jaw pain is back again...
Have a great day !8 -
@Gidgitgoescrzy - I am so excited for you! Congrats to hitting your goal before your trip with time to spare! Also, I am sad that you have a headache and that your jaw pain is back! Do you grind your teeth?
@jugar or @lauren_989 - can I move my weigh-in day to Thursday? I hate to leave @Gidgitgoescrzy as the only Wednesday weigh-in, but it makes her special. Not alone.2 -

I don't think I grind my teeth, dentist said he did not think it was TMJ, but this happens like every other month for a couple of weeks, then goes away. It's so weird.

@jugar I'm sure you will have a busy few weeks ahead getting ready for the memorial. Hugs again to you and your family!
@Gidgitgoescrzy congrats on hitting your goal early!! That is awesome!!
I am glad this week is almost over. I look forward to just about every weekend haha. I have my 5k on Saturday, and cross my fingers it looks like I will at least be healthy for this one! Although the weather does look iffy with rain, but it should be warm.
Does any else have fun or exciting plans for this coming weekend?2 -
Getting on that silly horse of mine! He can put a smile on my face every single time. I hope it gets warm enough to give him a good bath - he is so gross after the long winter. He hates the hose and the water splashing about, but that's just too bad! But it has to be warm enough for me to get pretty soaked too...lauren_989 wrote: »Does any else have fun or exciting plans for this coming weekend?

This sounds good Kristi. @conleywoods I will check her out. Thanks!conleywoods wrote: »@micki48 I like to watch Miss Fit and Nerdy on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@MissFitAndNerdy/videos
I really like her message and feel she has a lot of great information. She focuses on sustainable weight loss and covers metabolic adaptation often.

WAHOO! Congratulations @Gidgitgoescrzy I’m so happy for you. You’ve worked so hard and you did it!! You hit your goal!! 🎉👏🏼👏🏼
This week is beating me down. I’m tired. I’m cover for the lead teacher whose husband is in the hospital. Normally, I could do it but Friday I got the news that I did not get the lead first grade position for next year. (A position I held in the same school for 5 years before I moved away then came back) I find it hard mentally to do a job all week following being told I was not their choice. I think there’s some ageism going on here. Anyway, wew! I’m spent.
I’ve done ok with food and logging but still room to improve.
Ashley I will be on the step challenge. Forgot to mention that before. 7k goal still. 🙂
The photos of Arizona were beautiful!!3 -

I don't have any exciting plans, we were supposed to do the dirt for the garden, but it's supposed to rain saturday and sunday, so we currently have enough dirt to maybe fill one, so hopefully we can atleast get that one started.
OMG I just remembered I forgot to put the bags for purple heart bags on the porch, I cleaned out my closet and attic and got rid of 4 bags of clothes, and a huge bin of ones I want to try to sell. So maybe a trip to the goodwill.
I want to spring clean the drawers in my house, seems like every piece of furniture has drawers, and those drawers get filled with junk, so I need to clean those out and maybe attempt to organize. I have a file cabinet, might be time to use it. My biggest problem is, I get one drawer done, and then I'm like yeah this sucks... and I shove the stuff I'm keeping back in there, and tell myself I will do it another day. So maybe I will gather everything, put it all on the table, or floor and sort it... Cause I won't leave it out, but apparently trying to do one drawer at a time, doesn't work for me. Thats what I had to do with my clothes, they sat in bins in my bedroom for a month, till I dumped everything on the bed, and had no choice but to complete it.
Ugh, I am dreading this already.
Have a great day !

Technically green.
Anything fun this weekend? The husband and I are taking our dogs for a short hike (short because I'm donating blood tonight and don't want to overdo it) on Saturday near one of the rivers by us to look for morel mushrooms. Then, on Sunday, I am joining a couple of girlfriends to watch a local play - "The Odd Couple: Female Edition". We have another mutual friend who is in the play, so it should be a lot of fun.2 -
It felt so good to hang out with Jasper today 🐴 ! He was, as could only be expected after a week of neglect, grubby, covered with mud, with his shedding hair looking quite horrible. So we had a long and serious grooming session, during which we succeeded in amassing a huge pile of hair - could have made a thin mattress! He looked pretty good by the end, and my arms were tired. He loved having ALL the itches scrubbed. Then we had an excellent workout - we were both good and sweaty by the end.
I bought a new pair of hiking boots on my way home from the US yesterday. I will try them tomorrow or whenever the pelting rain goes away
Hope you're all doing well - and thank you for your kind thoughts and wishes on the passing of my dad. @EvMakesChanges and I appreciate it for sure!3
