WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR AUGUST 2013

My goal for August is to lose 1lb (just think of a pound of butter and what it would feel like to have to carry it around all the time - time to put it down).

Then, when the 1lb is gone, my goal is to lose another (then I'll have put down a smallish bag of potatoes)

Then, when I've got rid of the butter and the potatoes, my goal is to lose another.

By the end of the month - I might have emptied a whole shelf in my cupboard!

Happy August everyone!

Just popping in to mark my spot. I'll post my goals tomorrow and finish reading all the posts.

Have a great night.

Sandy from Ontario

Hi... I'm Linda.... I am a teacher... I teach all 6 -12 bands, 6 -12 choirs, 6 -12 general music... Keeps me busy when school is in session (begin Monday August 12)...I have been involved with the 7-12 marching band this week... I will turn 50 on Saturday (August 3). I have a 15 month old Grandson...so I am doing this so I cam see that baby boy grow up.

I really didn't write out my goals, but my goal was to lose weight, stay on track with my caloric intake, to workout 5 - 6 days a week....

I didn't lose weight (in fact I gained a pound :sad: , however I have lost 3/4" from my neck, 3/4" from my waist, and 1/2" from my hips :happy: ... I have stayed on track with my caloric intake, I have worked out 5 - 6 days a week and I feel so much better than I did... I was looking at pictures from 1 1/2 years ago and one from about 2 weeks ago and can see a difference... I am having people, including my daughter, tell me they can see a different, which makes me feel like what I'm doing is worth it!

My goals for August:

1) Get my schedule worked out for working (I'm a teacher) and getting that workout in.
2) Continue my caloric intake at the level that I've been doing...and trying to eat clean!
3) Stay happy and healthy....

Good evening ladies. We are such a great group and welcome all the newbies. I was looking at my goals for July and do believe I did pretty well for my first time. I am working on mine for August and will get them posted tomorrow. Went to the doctor today. Had to get established with a new doctor in the clinic as mine for the last 10 years left early this year and the one they sit me up with left last month. So first thing I asked this one is if there is any chance he would be leaving in the next year. He promised no his wife is from here so plan to stay. I did like him and he was very nice and very thorough. Changed my blood work to every 6 months and started me on some cholesterol meds. I so feel like he will be a good fit.
One of my GD's turned 5 today. When she was a baby they lived with us for several months and Addie and I used to spend hours rocking. So we went for supper. She wanted Apple Bees. I did well and ate only half of my meal. They grow up so fast. I picked up another one from school this afternoon and it reminded me why I am so glad I don't have little ones in school. Then this afternoon a lady I used to work with until she moved 120 miles away, showed up. She was in town for a funeral and we had a nice visit. So been an busy day.

Barbie- Thank you so much for keeping this thread going and bringing together such a speical group.

Joyce- Sounds like you had a full fun day with your DD. Congrates on the NSV with the smaller size. Your DD sounds like a very caring person and sounds like you did a good job rasing her.

Rori- Great NSV at the pyramids. Sounds like you do alot of traveling with your job.

Christchild2- Great inspriations. Gives me alot to think about.

Liz- Good for you for reaching out of your comfort zone. About 30 years ago I spent 2 years where I never went out my front door. My poor son was only 2 and the neighbor would come get him to come outside to play with her son. I spent alday cleaning and baking. My husband at the time would not eat anything that was not homemade. I gained alot of weight at the time as I ate everything I cooked. It was not a good time in my life. But I am better now. My DH has alot to do with that. I still do not like being around crowds, but alteast I do get out of the house on my own.

Jane- Good news about your frined. Keeping you both in my prayers.

Janie- love that dancing dogs. Made me laugh.

Meg- Hope you enjoy the concert this evening and the storms waite until you are home before they come your way. We are in warmings and so far no rain here. So humid we turned the AC back on acouple days ago.

Molly- Hope you and DD have a great 3 month visit. I would love to spend that much time with my son and his family. But he would never go for it. They live here in town so do see them often. He just tells me when I need to go to a home he is going to put in the shed in his back yard. Strange sence of humor. lol

Hope a good evening and check in tomorrow.

Blessed,
Vicki GI NE

Pat - we were lucky in that the garbage was picked up today and the garbage men took all the bags of the old carpet padding. We're supposed to be getting a call from this carpeting place here in Hickory today to get the new padding. AND IT'S RAINING AGAIN!!!!! Not as bad as before, as a matter of fact, it really came down a while ago and Vince was home and he went downstairs, nothing came in I really think that getting the water that time was a fluke.

Joyce - your daughter sounds just wonderful!

christchild - what a wonderful post!

Heather - congrats on the loss. Good things ARE worth waiting for!

grandmalle - sure hope things work out for you at the MD's and you do get that discount. You're right, the worst they can say is "no" and you're no worse off than you are right now

Warm welcome to everyone new

bopper - don't give up! Sometimes it just takes our bodies a while to catch up, but it WILL happen. You're doing everything well.

jane - what good news for your friend. Thanks for sharing it

I went to lunch with the Newcomers. Don't know what it was, but when I got home I got soo very tired that I just laid down. Maybe I'm just not used to such a big lunch. Anyway, I had this chicken salad, only instead of mayo it was made with Greek yogurt and curry. There were (supposedly, I sure didn't taste or see any) apples in it along with cranberries on naan bread. For my side I had their seasonsal veges. Unfortunately, they were sauteed so I only ate the ones on top. Just had a glass of water to drink.

yanniejannie - many times I find that my weight is also dependent on things like if I've gone to the bathroom right before weighing. Today the Wii said I was up a pound so just for jollies I weighed myself on the bathroom scale. It said that I was down .5 a pound. Go figure!!!!

Sue in TX - we were lucky in that it was just that the carpeting got wet, and even then, not all of the carpeting. But they are treating it for mold, etc. There was an article in the paper today that talked about how they've been busy and how they'll be busy in a week or two when people realize that they can't do it all themselves.

Did 1-1/4 hr of the Jari Love Extremely Ripped DVD. I had to take the DVD to the Y where they allowed me to do it. Normally, at this branch, they keep the aerobics room lu\ocked unless there is a class, but they opened it for me. Tomorrow I was planning to do some HIIT. The main branch of the Y is closed but I understand that they're going to be moving all the weight equipment upstairs which means that this branch won't be as busy (that's good). But on the other hand, with so many extra people using this branch, hopefully, the need for updated equipment will surface.

Shereen from MI - welcome! Come back often

Janie - LOVED the exercising dogs. I'm sure barbie and lots others will love them, too

bobjac - welcome! The best advice I can give you is to log ALL (every bite, every mouthful) of what you put in your mouth. That'll really help. And come back for more advice. The ladies on here will give you lots of good ideas. Congrats on your daughter's wedding. Dec. 31, huh? So she can take the tax break????? How long was she engaged for?

beateam - welcome, so glad you found us

I just realized that the guys from ServPro will be here tomorrow to check on how things are drying out and will probably take the equipment out. They're from South Carolina and are staying in a hotel. So I made some muffins for them. Actually, the recipe is for a cake but I put it into minimuffin containers. I'll probably take some to the Y with me tomorrow, too.

Meg - have fun tonight. What a cool name for the concert series! You know, I'm on one yahoo group, mainly because the gal who runs it is a real sweetheart. But the posts are constantly about how their weight is up and then they constantly post about how poorly they ate and didn't exercise. It's one thing if it happens here and there...but all the time! And they constantly blame everything else but themselves.

kbryant - welcome! Where in New Zealand are you? I have a friend in Christ Church. Check in often, that will definitely help. When is the operation? Good luck to you

Linda - welcome. I especially like your goal of not growing up!

Talking about the problem with MFP, so many times I've gone to update my menu and when I click on the "food" tab, I get a message that the site is temporarily down. Well, tonight just for the heck of it I clicked on the "add food" on the homepage, and I got to where you add the food. Now go figure!

msscn - welcome! I'm glad your friend talked you into coming to MFP.

musicteacher - welcome and happy birthday! You know, the number on the scale is just that -- a number. You're doing well, losing inches. That means so much more

Vickie - good for you getting out now. You've come so far

Hi Ladies


How did you do with your goals and resolutions for July?
Well I ended off the month fantastic. I lost another size, even if my weight right now is a bit stagnant, or in a plateau stage. My super tight jeans from March fell off yesterday, can't wear them anymore! I don't eat junk food but love my starch (pasta/rice) so I attempted to cut back a little but that was short lived :-) I have managed to stay off sweets, since Feb.


What goals and resolutions have you set for August?
At the end of the month I'm going on vacation with my older sister, for the first time in a very very long time, and would like to lose another 10 lbs. I visited my family back in 2006 and was about 10 lbs lighter than I am now so that would be nice (mind you I have lost 49.6 lbs in the last 5 mths). I also have tickets to workout with Shaun T. himself, yoo-hoo, so I wouldn't mind being a bit lighter so I can be a better BEAST at that workout. I already workout out 6 days a week so all I can do right now is to make workouts longer and/or cut some carbs from my meals.

I really enjoy all your posts!!

Enjoy your weekend.

Your comments about my DD are so heart warming. It hasn't always been this way. She was such a jewel through her elementary and middle school years. Then High school came. She immediately was in the wrong crowd. I was always very proud of both my daughters. I always brought them up to see the worth in everyone, the beauty queen and quarter back aren't going to look like they do when they are 30. Both of them befriended the underdog, the ones with lisps, bad acne, fat or to thin. Where my older daughter would always bring her friends up the younger one would eventually turn to some bad habits in finding some one or thing to accept her. We had many arguements over her choice of music. I researched and found the words of some of the rap and heavy metal music she was buying products and listening to. I gave her ultimatums. I was not going to have that music in my house. I gave her a certain date to throw it away, give it away, whatever she chose. The day came and the music was still there. So i took a pair of scissors and cut the casettes and broke the CDs. OHHHHH she was furious. She was running with this girl who was a principals daughter who just wanted to rebel because her Mom was the principal. The things those two could get into. I don't know how she got into college but she did. At the end of the freshman year her GPA was .667 and if she wanted to continue her education there she would be on probation. She chose to come home. We again gave her an ultimatum if she was going to live at home and we vowed that we would hold ourselves up and kick her out. Well she didn't do it but we didn't have the heart to kick her out.

I think she knew then that she had won the battle and cold get away with anything. I don't think she ever did drugs, or at least I am telling myself that. But I know she dated the kind of guys she did just to make us mad. She smoked. But she continued working full time, never gave us any of the money but did keep up her car. She did her own laundry so that's how life was for quite a while. Somehow we all weathered the storm and she eventually saw that her lifestyle was hurting her and her 'friends' weren't really friends. It's just that she had a car and money. So she worked it out on her own and we gradually came closer. Plus she started dating a guy that she eventually married. I have told you all a little about him. He immediately attached himself to us, mainly me, because he needed parents. So whether or not her dates were mainly here at home. We jsut got closer and closer. We didn't judge her when she moved in with him. We visited them in their home, helped outfit the home. My Mom, it broke her heart but she knew that with God's help the best way to handle it is just to love them both. so I was with her during both his Iraqi deployments, his PTSD after his 2nd one, his cheating on her. We were there to pick her up. We will never have the 'gotta talk to Mom every day' like our oldest has with us but what we have is wonderful. They never had children but she has 3 dogs that we 'love' and help her if she needs it. She was made to be an animal lover, any kind of animal and her wish has always to be a vet or at least a vet tech but can't afford to go to school and work full time to maintain her own home. OK, now you know my youngest daughter. Yes she is wonderful and I lover her. i would have loved ehr anyway but to see and go through this journey with her makes it even more special.

Good Evening, Ladies- I am back, as I promised. I have caught up on reading the posts, and you are all doing so well!

I am sitting out in my craft room with my cat PeeVee curled up between me and the computer. He is much calmer tonight since he has been safely in my bedroom and craft room all day. I think he is glad that he hasn't had the other cat stalking him and jumping on him. Thank you for reading my panicked rant this morning and for sending good advice. Because he is calmer, I am calmer tonight.

Now, having said that I have to contradict it a little bit. I think I ate too fast tonight because I have a lump in my stomach that tells me that supper is not going to process through. It is painful when this happens, and there is nothing to do until it comes back up. (sorry) I am under count and on track with food today, but when I get food stuck I just feel like a huge failure. This too shall pass - literally and figuratively!

Bobjac- Welcome- I am sure you will find lots of support and good advice here. Just take a deep breath and start working whichever food program you choose one meal at a time. The food diary is a very valuable tool, and it really does help you become aware of choices you make about food. I look forward to getting to know you.

Grandmallie- I am glad that you are taking care of that sore foot. I know cortisone shots are not much fun, but if it gives you relief, it will be worth that momentary discomfort.

Beamteam- I am not good at writing goals, either.

KBryant- Welcome to the group! New Zealand! I have always thought that would be a destination for a vacation, but I really hate to fly, and I surely can't swim that far! I think I will just visit through the movies and books! Sorry to hear about your upcoming back surgery. I hope it is quick and easy with a swift recovery!

Linda T.- Welcome to you, too! Where is Stuart, Fl? I have a wonderful friend in Homestead, Fl- outside of Miami.

Genealace- I like your attitude! One pound at a time is a manageable step. It is also the way I do my pool laps, one at a time!

Sandy- Happy August!

OhLeita!- I love that picture!

Musicteacher4- You must teach in a small school! I taught all of the 6 - 12 general English classes! It was a challenge! I hope you have a wonderful school year. I am willing to put some money down that has this year revs up and you start running from class to class, meeting to meeting and lesson to lesson that you also loose weight as well as inches. I bet you do!

jmkmomm- Congratulations on your rebirth/birth of self! That is an awesome way to think of your last nine months' work!

Michele- I am so glad that basement didn't fill up, again. I don't understand these weather patterns this summer. It is just not normal here, where you are, or back home in MN. Something just isn't right. You are such a generous baker! Those workers are going to love you, for sure!

Katiebug- Congratulations on your NSV! I struggle with walking still, and I have lots of trouble on any size hill. It isn't that my legs and knees keep from moving, but my asthma kicks in under those conditions. I would love to go for long walks, but it just doesn't happen. I will use you as a model and keep on trying. Have a wonderful school year!

I think for August, I really have to concentrate on getting in more exercise. So that is my goal for this month- exercise 5 times a week.

Have a good evening, everyone!
Pat

Happy Thursday evening from the cloudy Pacific Northwest. I’ve caught up with the posts now, happily. It both reassures and inspires me when I see what a community this is. Thank you all.

BTW, has anyone tried dreamfields pasta? It’s supposedly a lower carb/glycemic load option & I’m beginning to really crave some spaghetti :-b

 Barb – thank you for the beautiful Summer time graphic & doing such a wonderful job keeping this thread going. You are awesome. Can’t wait to see what the strength training challenge will be, I need to be adding that soon anyway.
 Rori – I love your Mexican NSV! Look out world, here she comes! Also enjoying your butterfly.
 Katla – so glad you enjoyed your time on the water. That’s one of the things I love about living here – so many outdoor opportunities. I would love to get into boating at some point; DH was a sea scout in Sequim (long, long ago!) & knows how to sail as well.
 Michele – how was the bowling? Yet another thing I’d like to add in sometime. DH used to do that all the time & was intimidatingly good :-D At least since I have the ball & shoes I look like I know what I’m doing until I release the ball. How nice of you to share your baked goodies.
 Gail – may I just say, WOW, about your lifting.
 mahanaibu – . Welcome! You will really enjoy this thread and group of ladies. All are very hard working, real, honest, inspiring, motivated, and encouraging. It sounds like you’ve done a fantastic job on your own – congrats on getting to overweight territory. I understand what you mean about the anxiety of job hunting – I am hunting for a teaching position & hoping being healthier will make a difference. I know the endorphin rush is really helping alleviate some of that anxiety for me.
 Deb A – good for you slicing through the water in your kayak!
 Joyce – happy that you have your daughter Michelle watching out for you. I never have to worry about how long my capris are – I am short with short legs, they’re always longer on me (snicker)
 Jodios – aloha back at you, glad the storm didn’t ruin all your vacation time. Thinking about the strength training challenge.
 christschild2 – I love what you’re saying about entering the combat zone, I will join you in saying out loud those goals I have set for myself.
 Terri – I understand the fear of the gym. As some of the ladies would say, put on your big girl panties & get there! It took me a while to go myself. Now I just put on mental blinders & walk right to the equipment I’m going to use. How flexible is your schedule? Would it help if you asked staff when it’s less busy or are you planning on doing some classes? Basically, what’s keeping you from going? Own the mental log jam & maybe then you can bust through it. Positive attitude!
 Heather – Yippee! I know how wonderful I would feel if I were only a pound heavier than my DH. And the half inch, too, go, Heather! Wonderful news about the potential tenant!
 Grandmallie – good for you forgiving yourself for one day, remember in the grand scheme of overall health and fitness it’s no big deal. You’ve picked up where you left off. I hope the podiatrist works with you. Glad you like the dogs – they made me laugh.
 Anamika – welcome to this friendly and supportive thread.
 Brooke – Two questions: First, what’s the 65 mile minimum? Second, how do you doing standing Abs? Sounds interesting, especially since I don’t like getting down on the floor (back up being troublesome).
 Liz – I like your weekly check-ins on yourself. Might have to do something like that, too.
 Tina – congratulations on your 5 lbs.!
 Laura80111 – oh, my, between quarter end, chapter 11 & house prepping you must be exhausted. Good luck with all of that!
 bopper – hello & welcome!
 jb – love your picture, I envy you your garden. Hoping to do one next year.
 Jane – wonderful news about your friend, sorry I didn’t comment sooner. I sometimes pull away when I hear the word cancer; it’s been over 10 years for me, but there’s times when it seems like yesterday. Prayers have been & continue to be sent her way.
 Debbie – lurk away, but feel free to jump in, too. Lots of helpful women here.
 Genealace – welcome back! (later) I like your pound of butter & shelf goal.
 yanniejannie – I’m with your husband on the pound or two. Colonoscopy – funny I was just thinking once DH is home I have to schedule one of those. Hoping to be lighter than the last time I had one. How about we promise each other to get ‘er done this month?
 Robin – enjoy the job. I will think of you each time I use the dreadmill, though I’m trying to switch to elliptical.
 Sue – only walking for exercise when you have a sling on sounds like a great job to me! Especially since most of July was walking as a workout for me.
 Bobjac5 – As Katla said, use MFP for daily goals & remember not to get discouraged if the weight doesn’t come off as you expect. The most important thing everyone here does/says is to accurately record every single thing you are eating each day. It is much easier if you have a food scale since we often don’t’ know what a single serving is. You don’t say how active you are and/or how much time you might have to exercise daily/weekly. This will make a difference on your goals. For example, I substitute teach K-12. I have the summer off except for trainings so I have chosen to do at least 2 workouts each day to jumpstart my fitness/weight loss.
 Meg- that sounds like a fun concert.
 Molly – your trip to DD in CO sounds wonderful.
 Kbryant01 – sending good thoughts about your back surgery. Please do come back often & don’t overdo exercise that might do more harm than good.
 Linda – hello & good luck on the goals.
 Musicteacher4 – good job on the inches lost & that so many people noticed a difference!
 jmkmomm – hold that thought, “so I can't let it get me down.”You made me laugh when you wrote you gave birth to a new you, love that!
 Vicki – sounds like a marvelous day, dr. & all.
 drkatiebug – good for you toting that case of water & even more so doing your 2.8 miles in the midst of school start up.
 Melanie – dropping down another size – wonderful NSV! Even if you’re not down that 10 lbs. by the end of the month, aren’t you smaller trading that fat for muscle?
AUGUST GOALS
 Log every day
 Find healthier food options to work into daily meals
 Exercise every day
 By end of August, do 30 minutes of vigorous exercise daily (now doing ~20)
 Keep moving all day (no excessive couch lounging!)

Morning Ladies

Thought I would pop on to introduce myself, having just started using MFP properly, despite having joined in May this year.

I am 53 later this year and have been overweight most of my life. I broke my back 30 years ago, and have suffered lots of problems with it over the years, which has limited my movement at times. Thankfully my back is behaving itself at the moment...though I am in the process of recovering from a touch of RSI in my shoulder and wrist.

I am in the slow process of trying to shift the masses of pounds of fat I have accrued over the years. Since July 2013, I have lost 3 stones (42 pounds), the first on my own, and the other two since I started going to my local Curves gym. The past few months things have slowed up a lot, so keeping a much closer eye on what I eat will hopefully help me see what changes I need to make in my eating habits.

I haven't read many of your posts yet, but I felt I ought to make an appearance this morning, nothing like making a decision and following it through right away!!

So hello everyone, seems quite a few of you are across the pond in the US, I live in the UK, near Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. We are all posting here as we have a similar aim to lose our excess pounds, so hopefully I will make friends here in the coming months.

Welshgirl.
- just spotted your new post..hello!! We used to live near Manchester, both my boys were born in Macclesfield. Looks like you have made your mind up to sort out a few things in your life, good for you!

I will post my aims for August later today, but I really need to get ready before heading out to see the physio.

Back later
Morag - Tewkesbury

Hello ladies!
Thanks for the warm welcome Janie! You have me floored a personal message for almost everybody.
Megblair thanks for the warm welcome. I hope I am here regularly coz Barbie has been my hero for quite some time and am happy to meet more awesome ladies like you all.
I am still trying to figure out my goals, makes me wonder if I am afraid of commitment(?) . Well here goes:
1. Workout 6 days a week.
2. Drink 3- 4 litres of water daily.
3. Log my food everyday.
4. Make positive affirmations everyday.
Thank you!

Hallo everyone and welcome to all the new people. We love it when you post often and sign with a name or pseudonym and where you come from. I live in the south of England in a largely rural county with a few big towns and cities. Hampshire. We have the South Downs, a line of rolling chalk hills on our doorstep and the New Forest, which isn't a forest but a historic area of heath and woodland and both are National Parks. The sea and beautiful harbours are not far away. I moved here three years ago from central London so quite a change for me!

I posted my goals for August, but want to say something regarding the strength challenge. It looks very like the kind of thing I am doing most days, so wont be posting on it, but have set myself a couple of private challenges. I am now doing 20 full push ups so hope to get up to 25. I am planking for 1 min 35 secs so want to get to 1.45. I am doing 60 crunches in all so maybe 75? I am doing 20 sumo squats with a 16 lb weight so will go for 25. And so on with all my workout. I can do 8 bicep curls with 16 lb weights so will go for 10 and then buy heavier weights!:laugh:
I would never have believed a year ago that I would be doing any of this. I hated exercise and loathed getting hot and sweaty. The only thing I enjoyed was swimming and even then I hated all the bother of going, changing etc. Now I do my gymming for an hour every day barring travel and I do my weight training 3 or 4 days a week. I find the change in my body a miracle. And, with the help of DH and the ladies on this thread, I know the change in my spirits and confidence is just as much a miracle. Any new people who are doubting what they can accomplish only have to look at this once obese couch potato with dodgy joints and know it IS POSSIBLE.:flowerforyou:

DH is off watching hiscricket so I can have my HOT Asian Soup!:bigsmile: With shiritaki noodles only 300 calories.

Before I dropped him off at the cricket we bought 3 large loaves of low GI bread for the freezer and went to pick up my blood pressure prescription. I bought a blood pressure machine so I can test it at home and then take the evidence to the doctor. I really hope it will show as lower. Surely it will be?!?!:ohwell: Maybe I won't do it today as my soup was very salty!:laugh: I would love to at least halve my medication.

Well girls. I am going to watch my Danish DVD today while DH is away. Will arise from the couch to do my push ups and crunches. I didn't do those this morning as my arms were worn out with all the weights work. I LOVE being able to wear sleeveless tops after years off never taking my cardigan off!:blushing:

Bye for now, Heather from Hampshire UK

Good morning, everyone - I'm not even going to pretend I've caught up, but I wish you all well. We are enjoying cooler weather interspersed with more rain - but at least it looks nice. The sad part - the leaves are turning already. Sigh.

Life has been a bit of a struggle lately - poor eating, no motivation to work out . . . personal struggles. However I woke up feeling ready to attack again, worked out hard (legs and back today), and I'm hoping I can just fake it 'til I make it.

Cheers,

M.

:flowerforyou: Hooray for Friday!

Only had time to skim the posts, will shoot for more time later this afternoon.

I'm getting back into the routine of working out when I get home from work, of course that means that dinner is a lot later but it's either that or getting up with the chickens in zero dark thirty and I'm just not ready to do that yet.

Last night when I was getting ready for bed hubby was headed to the hot tub and then next thing I know I hear him yelling at me at the top of his voice....right after he got in Dora (the doxie that we are watching while Son #1 & DIL are in Europe) jumped right in after him:noway: . I think is scared her because when I wrapped her in a towl she just sat still and let me love and dry her with her eyes closed.

I have payroll to complete before the boss gets here and still have to check my email for whatever the latest distaster has happened since I last left the office.

Hoping everyone has a great day.
