Morning!
Took time yesterday to empty the foyer closet of its contents. Unfortunately those 'contents' ended up in my master bedroom closet since I have no other closets available.
Why? Because I need to dismantle the existing shelving and closet rack in order to install a new closet organizing system that will triple my storage space. I love doing DYI home improvement projects.
Yesterday was a drop dead gorgeous day here. I spent the time and good weather to get many outdoor chores done. Replaced the solar lighting fixtures that illuminate my walks with better solar fixtures that throw more light on the stairs and walks. The front steps were a hazard unless I had the porch light on. Also power washed the back deck (lots of bird poop) and the floor of the two car garage (road salt and crap from the roads) so it wouldn't eat the concrete. Still need to get mulch on the backyard waterfall lupine flower bed before Spring but it looks like we might have a few goods days next week for that.
With the arrival of new Pokemon creatures, I've been getting more walking in. I'm not a die hard fan but it makes the walks interesting as there is usually something new to see and maybe catch.

Hi all!
Bea -utiful day here in Hove. Went to the beach with the grandchildren and their parents. Had ice cream from a homemade Italian place. I had lemon sorbet.
Really warm out. Masses of people enjoying the weather.
Thought you all could do with a Bea fix. A pic from this pm. She loved her sunglasses.
Now I'm cooking up my chicken in walnut sauce for the parents. I brought it with me. I've laid the table nice and posh, so we look like a proper restaurant! :laugh:
Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxx

I just spent an hour or so vacuuming downstairs and began to wonder about those robot vacuums. Does anyone have them? If so, how do you like them? Good things & bad things appreciated. :flowerforyou:
No, I don't have one either but think I'd like to try one out. It seems like I could vacuum up dog hair 24/7.

Marni- love the GIFs!
Rita from gabby CT
Thanks Rita - I found a stash of them with this cute character and thought they might be fun to use as placemarks here in the discussion group. They make me smile - I’m glad you like them :-) .. btw - Gypsies ROCK!Marni AK: Your stationary biker is doing is exactly what I did this morning before yoga. Then I did more of it at home on our recumbent in the living room.
Katla - I would love a recumbent. Do you find there is less stress on your spine with them as compared to a sitting up bike?
MASSIVE hugs going out to everyone :-)
My word for 2017 is “Mindfulness”

I'm glad y'all enjoyed the jokes. When I get something really funny in my email; I do try to share it. Have a GREAT weekend. I'm about to go outside where Louis is to see if there is anything I can do to help. I don't have the energy to tackle my studio even though I need to. Maybe when we have a weekend that starts off being really goo weather; I can go in and empty it and do it like I really want to. Right now it looks like a 'dump'. Just everything (both ours and DOS's) has been just thrown in.

Gym this morning, bike, rower and treadmill 20 mins on each with some HIIT thrown in. 75 squats on challenge today and 2 min plank.
Trying to stay under calories but wanting to snack, so far logged everything and am just under. Annoyed with myself as tomorrow is weigh in. Just can't seem to get under 127 lbs but still got love handles and belly fat to lose.

Great workout! Have you thought of the keto diet because of the fat burning mode? Your fat absolutely disappears off of your body because your body is using fat as fuel. The first fat that seems to disappear is your liver and belly fat. No more muffin top or love handles!1 -

Had the worst headache ever yesterday... So much so that I got sick. That has never happened before. Took Tylenol, went to bed early, and massaged the back of my scalp until I fell asleep. Sometime during the night my headache went away, thank goodness. Woke up with a real sore scalp though! Just taking easy today.
I have been using this new soap "Kirks Coconut Soap", and my complexion has improved. Being that it's a pure ingredients kind, it leaves my skin squeeky clean. In a bit it turns soft feeling so I haven't been using any coconut oil on my skin. I'm using this soap for a whole month to see how it changes my complexion for the better.
Please be good to yourselves my friends. Put yourselves first and foremost in your lives, because you are worth it!

Accountability Post Progress update of my Feb goals.
Yesterday's Results
✔1. Log/COMPLETE the entry daily.
✔2. No eating after 9pm.
3. Fiber 30g daily
4. Walk 30 active Fitbit min daily.
5. Declutter ✔️clothes, books, office supplies.
✔6. In bed by midnight
I felt bad all day yesterday... sick last night with an upset stomach. Vomiting for first time in years. Perhaps a bug? Or perhaps a backlash of consuming too much sugar this week. Wiped out today.
Hope you all are having a great weekend. I'm planning to leap off this couch with my cat-like reflexes and get my chores done. Starting with:
Morning Routine
1. Dress to shoes
✔2. Charge electronics
3. Make beds
4. Swish & swipe bathrooms
✔5. Empty dishwasher
✔6. Food & meds
7. Reboot laundry as needed
8. Clear email
It's only 4pm.
Onward.

MARY - Did do LCHF for a week when I came back from holiday and lost the weight I'd put on. Haven't been able to do since but will try this week.

Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .
Good Evening My Dear Friends,
Beth, so glad you got a good report on your DH’s MRI. I hope for the best.
Sherry, Kim is so right that we couldn’t care less if you give us a smile. We like to hear what is going on with you and support you. The smiles are just icing on the cake and this cake needs none. (((Hugs)))
Joyce, I’m so glad Norma is doing better. And glad you can rest a bit easier.
Katla, so glad your DH is feeling better. I hope for continued improvement each day.
Betsy, a huge congrats on a day with no issues. I hope you have enjoyed it.
Pip, we know you are going to get your exercise no matter what the trains do. You go girl.
Heather, thanks for the Bea fix. Too bad she’s not a happy child and never smiles. LOL What an absolute doll!!!
Went to get nails done this morning and found out that my nail tech has sold the salon. I just thought she was on vacation. The lady that did them did a good job so may just start using her. Other than that it’s been a pretty lazy day, I hate to report. Left over chili tonight, which is normally better the second time around.
to any Newbies. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.
