When will invitations go out? I'm always afraid I'm going to miss it!0

Diane: Yeah it does make it easier.0

When I shop I go from store to store and I would get a candy from every stop. Just something small but a nibble at every stop. Yesterday I had my shopping and my parents and I didn't buy any candy or cookies. I got home and was like wow I survived I didn't pass out or even think about the sweets. I was too focused on getting from point A to B. Then over to my parents.
I think I am ready to do my vision board and fill in my wheel. This is my first vision board.0 -
Happy Sunday, hope your are relaxing and having a blessed day.

Good Morning VIP friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and it is my longest workday of the week. I work 10:30 am to 9 pm. So that is a really long day. I get a half hour lunch, 2 15 minute breaks and a 10 minute break. So I guess not too terribly bad. It is going to be a great day though. I am hoping to hear from the realtor of the home we want to look at today possibly. We did put in a request to view the home. I am hoping they will call today and we can view the home tomorrow.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Yes I work from home. So my work will not be affected as long as I can get the lights and internet and all that turned on in a proper amount of time. Joe's commute to work will be a little bit shorter depending on where he is going. So that is good. Our trip to church is shortened by 30 minutes. It is amazing. All we have to do is get a fence put up after we move in. So it will be a little inconvenient when we first move in as we don't want to let Chloe out without a leash. Once we get the fence put in then she will have free roam of the property. I wish I could post photos but I feel like if I do I will jinx it. You know.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

Good morning everyone0

@Tabatha_Cain get the whole jinx thing. Fingers crossed it goes well.
I did my wheel yesterday. I realized that if I take the other department's position. It's a position with more money but no downtime. I would be doing work from home or at least prepping every day for the next day. Hmm 😒 this is not what I want. I have enough going on in my home life without adding more. I wouldn't be able to do swim. Well that does it. I love swim and it's me time. I guess that pretty much settles that. I'm going to put my health first and stay in the position I have. Life is short I'd like to enjoy it.
Hope everyone has a good day.2 -
@Patti241, the invites will be out soon, most members between Thurs the 1st to the 4th with some a little bit later (usually those on the "Any team will be great" option).
Patti how did today go? (Monday) my day is slow, but I needed that!
A very way for all to know is to keep an eye under Announcements.
@Sweetpeasmom55, WOOHOO hey that's a FANTASTIC NSV (Non Scale Victory)!! WOW!! I remember when I first realized I wasn't going crazy with candy! Exciting!! CONGRATS!! I do still enjoy candy, but it's no longer the focus of my day. I'm going to work on my vision board really soon also. LOVE your reasoning on the not taking the other position!! I know working for the city (or at least my personal experience) the more I did the more they expected!! AARRGGHH I did get them to give me a raise, but it certainly wasn't enough.
@Tabatha_Cain WOW longgg workday, but nice breaks! It's great to have a long day right off and make the rest of the week shorter!! Did you get a call about the house today? Exciting!! We know if that does not work out something else likely will. So many emotions around a move!

@sweetpeasmom55 I wish I would have had your good sense when I took a supervisors job to get more money before I retired. Worst mistake in my life…well, at least in my working life.0
-
@Kurtize, that's beautiful!! Hope you enjoyed the evening also!
@Lulabelbo, I did the money thing as a supervisor it went well for me, but it's such a delicate balance of professional and personal life especially when you climbed the ladder. It was an adjustment for myself and my coworkers.0 -
Good Morning VIP friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Tuesday and it is the last day of the year. Can you believe that. We heard nothing from the realtor who is trying to sell the house we want. So I assume all realtors are on vacation at this time of the year. Maybe it is their slow time. Who knows. I just know I am anxious to get the house I want and I really want to go look at it. Our realtor is back from vacation on Monday. So maybe next week. Which seems like forever away. It really does. I am just constantly checking the listing online to make sure it is still there and not pending sale. That would stink.
@SweetPeasMom55 - That is great that you are deciding to put your health first. That is what I did when I decided to take this work from home job. The stress of the office I was at was too much. So I decided I needed something less stressful.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Yeah we have heard nothing yet. I think they are all on vacation. Or at least I hope that is the case so I don't lose this home. I can really see myself there and everything just feels right about it.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday.

Definitely looking forward to this new challenge!!0

Diane: The day went okay0

Good morning all,
I think I’m ready to go for the challenge. I’ve used the wheel to determine healthy habits I’ll be working on. I have 2. One is to track my macros consistently and second is an exercise regimen I put together that consists of walking and playing pickleball.
I thankfully got through Christmas without gaining weight while still enjoying my meals! Who would have thought it could be done. LOL.
It’s been quiet around my place since Christmas which I’m thankful for. I managed to finish one of my small quilting projects and have been reflecting on what life is going to look like for me in the New Year.
Tomorrow I plan to do some meal prep. I don’t do this often but want to get in the habit of doing it. I believe it will help with the stress of always thinking of what I’m going to prepare and or eat next. I work better when I have a plan regardless of the task. Could be eating, exercise or my hobby of quilting - just need the plan. 😊
Happy New Year! 🎉

@Lulabelbo Originally I wanted a different department as mine as of November now works Sat. Then I was deciding how much extra money could I set aside for retirement. Then as I was doing my wheel I realized I am really happy. The new position can't guarantee me happiness but it will be a lot more work. Now I'm looking at the fact that they deleted the position as God giving me a heads up to really think it over. The higher ups keep saying hey March we are going to re-post that position. I just smile and don't answer.
@Tabatha_Cain I think everything either shuts down or works on minimal staff during the holidays. Our corporate office probably has 2/3 of the staff off.
I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!0 -
@Tabatha_Cain, Oh I hope that's the case, and the house is still available. Time will tell, if not hopefully something else will crop up that you aren't aware of yet.
@chansen_2000, WOOHOO So good to see you!!! This is going to be an AMAZING Challenge!!
@Patti241, are many things in your area open today (the 1st)?
@Cruising132, I am working on my wheel, its 1/2 way done. I'm glad it's helping you to decide where your priorities are for this challenge. Of course, as the weeks go by, I usually shift around my focus. LOL! AWESOME Job on the not gaining during the holidays!!! YEAH, On the quilt and meal planning.
@Kurtize, Ohhh let's hope this coming year is a good one.
@Sweetpeasmom55, I LOVE that you have the happiness!!! SMART decision to stay at your current position. That's so sweet!!!0 -
To a new year, and to new beginnings and endless possibilities. Hugs0

Good Morning VIP Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Thursday and I am hoping today will be not a super busy day at work, and yet I am also hoping that I will not get really rude clients today. Tuesday I got some really mean ones. They were rough. I am hoping for none of those today. Today, tomorrow and Monday are mandatory work hours. You will be fired if you call off work and don't have a good excuse. They are expecting that we will be that busy.
@cruising132 - That is pretty cool using the wheel to determine what healthy habits you will work on. There are so many and it is hard to decide with out help. That is great that you got through Christmas without gaining. That is good. I love when that happens. Meal prep does help from time to time. I got tired of doing it. So I plan out my meals for grocery shops I just don't prep them ahead of time.
@SweetPeasMom55 - Yeah not insurance. Some offices will take time off, but most do not. So for me it is weird when someone can afford not to work for 2 weeks.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Yes thank you. If this house ends up not being available please let another house come forward that makes me equally as excited.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.

Happy Thankful Thursday. Hope your day is going well. I signed up for 2 more conqueror walks, one I will not start until I complete North Coast one and the other is Walk 2025, My goal is to do 500 or more miles in this year. According to fitbit I walked 507 in 2024 so I think I can do this ok. I did get another post card on my North Coast walk, here is link to check it out.
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10891931/joyces-walking-adventures#latest
Also got 2 more post cards on my Grand Canyon walk and planted a few more trees.
It is much warmer today then yesterday, yesterday in 30's today at least in 50's. This morning got my hair cut.
Hugs and blessings, today inspiration

@Tabatha_Cain , It's now Friday (When you see this) may the day go by quickly (If you are working, sllllowwllllyyy if you are not! LOL). UGH I do not know why people need to be mean when they aren't happy. There are MANY TIMES I'll have to call and call a place to finally reach a person (and not always info they give me do I like) but I am always very polite. In turn, YO!!! My service at various places is almost always gold standard. Including getting appointments at Dr type offices that "suddenly we just had a cancellation would you like it?" All just by being polite.
@Patti241 any SNOW???? There's a storm going by the SOUTH of us!! Grrrr!!! WAHHHHH I WANT snow!! We had a TON of rain over the past week with temps in the 40s and even 50s!! Now that we are back where we should be in the 30s, NO storms. New members, I LOVE WINTAH so much!! LOL I am a native Mainer, learned from my Grandpa how much fun snow was. A tradition I carry on and am happy to say my GS also loves it as I do(LOL much the same reason, he's in 1st grade and if a SNOW DAY is declared he smiles though he loves school)
@Kurtize WOW YOU GO JOYCE!! Big goals, but we know you set them high, only if you are pretty sure with a lot of effort you can do them. WTG!! WOOHOO on the post cards!! That's a fun site, would you like to share with the members what site it is you get them on? If it costs etc. etc. DETAIL kiddo also on the team you are on do you share that? LOL Joyce and I are both on the same team. HINT HINT Joyce!! GRIN!0 -
Good Morning VIP friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Friday and I am so looking forward to this weekend. I am excited to have a weekend free of anything to do. I feel like just sitting at home and doing nothing. That would be great. Today I work from 10:30 am to 7 pm and it is going to be a long day. Today is Mandatory work day due to call volume. Yesterday was crazy busy. I had 2 or 3 rude customers. People get so upset and I feel like asking them if they would go into a grocery store and start yelling at the cashier for the price of eggs and demand they fix it. Because I know they would not. They know the cashier cannot do anything about the price the store charges for eggs. I don't do that though. I am not sure if they would get me in trouble or not so I choose not to do that.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - People get very upset. Especially about insurance. Our laws in Michigan are pretty strict and I can see why the clients are upset, but I also see the reason for our laws being so strict. I don't see why they have to be rude about it.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Friday.
