I can't figure out how to copy and paste. Lana I live in Michigan. I was doing great on calories today then my daughter stopped by so i beefed up dinner and made dessert so i was 500 over. I went out shopping and running errands today in the beautiful sunshine. Didn't meet my step goal surprisingly.1

MONDAY
Good morning, down .4 from last week - playing with same 2 pounds at the moment.
Crocheted 8 hearts for project. Hand does take a beating as I dont work on computers on weekend, so will ease off a little. Crocheting makes my hand muscles work differently than knitting.
Salad in jar waiting to go to work. Oatmeal on stove.
Wave to all who follow. Make it your best Monday.2 -
Good morning Sara~
You are up at 4AM? Goodness!
Congrats on that .4
I am looking at the radar map and seeing the green move away, hoping that it will clear much sooner than predicted. Weather means a great deal to me and how I feel and how my mood goes and so how my sticking to program goes.
It IS Monday, and will be working to make it my best Monday. This might require assistance from the Cabana Boys. Hmm. How can they help us today?
Lana
stats the same as yesterday2 -
Tess- so glad it was of no concern on kitty... gotta love the internet...we get so many people saying "I looked it up and think it's this" almost always wrong... but, better to be safe than sorry... especially, if you've dealt with something before... sounds like you have a great Vet... thank goodness... hope you feel better soon!
Sara - Good job on WI! we also have lots of people that swear "it's only been like this for a couple days" and, the growth is humongous and no way it's only been growing couple days. But, as Lana pointed out, sometimes the ones concerned are outvoted until it's almost too late...
Drea- great WI! Way to go! Think I found your 9 pounds!
Lana - weather hugely affects my mood and things getting done...we had a beautiful weekend, now back to cold... makes me just want to stay in bed with the dogs...
So, I downloaded the 7 App, for when I'm ready... boy, that thing is pushy! Haha... I've had it for 2 days and, every morning I get a message "Hey, it's time to work out" nope... no it's not..I will let you (App) when it's time..lol... good motivator, tho..I will get there, just not yet... got to get past this week and then we'll talk...1 -
Good evening.
It is like tax season for those of us with medical insurance enrollment, up to my eye balls in work, so did what I could.
Jar salad was so large, it will be oatmeal for dinner.
Lady at work brought by 4 needles she got at a thrift store, all different sizes. I warned her if she was looking for needles for herself to check that they are the same size - I explained to her what a joy these needles are as I have projects I am tired of and do not want to rip out - I can put them on the extra needle until later.
Stay warm and have a good night.1 -
I am moody with the weather too- clouds all day. I started the day off so tired for some reason and when I got to work someone offered me a donut that I could not say no to . It made me hungry the rest of the day. Fortunately another co-worker got on my case about it and made me eat a big salad for lunch so It amazingly worked out at the end if the day. Whew!3

Friends, I got home from work tonight to find one of our cats had passed away very unexpectedly. Shocked and sad. She had seemed perfectly fine this morning. Where I found her it seemed like her heart had stopped and she just stopped in her tracks. She was on her way up the loft bed stairs to my son's bed where she liked to sleep. She was only 10 years old.
My husband, kids, and I are all so sad. The remaining 5 year old cat seems lost.

Annie - so, so sorry... losing a fur baby is never easy... even worse when unexpected and so sudden... huge hugs to all of you... extra snuggles to other kitty!1

TUESDAY
Good morning,
Annie - your cat was lucky to have a good life without a long illness. Still not easy, sending hugs.
Sending 10 hearts today to Chemotherapy. Keep plugging away.
Lana - my sleep schedule for over the last year has involved me getting up at some disgusting hour - you just noticed?? 2 things - older dog and me drinking more water.
Wave to all who follow. Lurking from work when I can.2 -

Thank you for your kind words. We are focusing on the fact that she had a good life with us and us with her. And after having to watch our last cat get sick and weak and then having to make the decision to put her down, this is very different. Not sure which is better.
Annie1 -
Annie - whether it people or fur babies, sudden death is good for the one who dies (no/less suffering), and it's very very hard on those left to grieve. So sorry about your kitty. Hugs~

I've always known that you wake up in the early hours to deal with newspaper/Miss Tillie/pit stop, but something about your post the other day made me think that you were up and at 'em at 4AM. LOL.
As for those hearts you are making--I've said it before, but it's worth saying again: when I was having chemo, always painfully alone, I so appreciated the surprise bag of little gifts that was given to me from the anonymous angels who put these bags together. I just cried and cried, it meant so much to me.
Big big hugs to you for what you do!

Good evening,
Dawn - scentsy arrived, doing cozy chai right now but the citrus smelled so good.....
Dog grazing at my feet. Frozen Lasagna for dinner. Set up salad for tomorrow, 1/2 as much lettuce and rice.
Wave to all who stop by, hope you have a good evening. Hot chocolate under Lana's Palm Tree.1 -
Oh, Annie - I’m so sorry about the sudden passing of your beloved kitty. It is never easy...Healing thoughts to you and your family.
Tess1 -
Came down with a nasty virus - worse than DH - been running a fever for two days. Never realized how few steps one could walk in a day. Headed to the doctor on Thursday.
Waves to all,

I do hope you feel better soon.
Cabana boys are bringing you hot toddies for tonight

WEDNESDAY
Good morning. Dog up and fed. Salad jar lunch today and quiche for dinner - teriyaki chicken tomorrow for lunch and dinner
take leftovers home.
I have hand sanitizer at my desk. Dawn thank you for extra cleaning at your workplace. It is a win-win believe me. Do they still sell the original Lysol?
Tess - I was thinking of Kathryn wondering how she was doing..... Sorry you got it as well. Herbal tea, hot water bottle. CBoys care package is one the way!!
Wave to all who follow.1 -
Hey there Ladies~~
I overslept and missed the time slot where I would have my coffee and check in here. I am working seriously on setting down a daily routine, but I slept through my wake up this morning, skipped the morning checkin with MFP.
Kathryn! Where are you!
Waves to all of our Cabana SStarter People~~
It's Wednesday evening: Better than half-way through the week!

Good evening,
Lunar eclipse this morning as I was walking dog. Seems to be a "big deal" - it is, at least I wasnt pulled out of bed to watch it (teenager memory).
Half a piece of quiche tonight - knitting on tap.
Lana - you showed up that is the main thing. Maybe you needed more sleep.
Wishing all a good night. Stay warm and healthy out there.1 -
THURSDAY

Knitted and read book. Nice way to wind down last night.
Oatmeal almost ready. Lurking from work.

Hi Sara
Checking in.
I'm a little under the weather.
I like the things you posted; the Feb is especially pretty.
The AOTM needs some thought.
Will be here tomorrow.
Sleep well.
Tomorrow will be Friday!!

FRIDAY
Good morning, TGIF
Quiche for lunch - making grocery list for weekend trying to set up next week meals. I know how boring, but it keeps me away from spending more $$ - wish it would keep my sweet tooth happier.
Wave to all who follow. Stay warm out there.1 -
Hi ladies is weight watchers expensive?0
-
Good morning netbags - cost is one variable, finding a location for a meeting and a good leader is sometimes more of the problem, you can do the online version which is less expensive.....1

Hi Everyone & Happy Friday,
Tess~I am sorry to hear you are feeling ill, hope you get better soon!
Annie~Big hugs to you & your family, sorry about your loss.
Sara~You are such an angel making those hearts for patients!
Well just an update on my week, I was not able to reach my 300 km goal for the month of January (too many lazy weekends I guess...lol) but did accomplish 280.07 km so I will just keep on going until I do reach it. Although Feb will be hard as it is a shorter month.
Dietitian appointment went well, she said I was not eating enough said I should not be eating any less than 1,200 cal & no more than 1,400 cal (as my daily average was 1000 to 1100 cals most days except for weekends of course), then adjusted my macros on here a bit. I do have to say I have been following this & doing my regular exercising daily & have lost 3 lbs this week alone! Very impressed as I thought I was broken beyond repair....haha Kinda don't believe it and am still waiting for the other shoe to drop!
My fur babies really loved my homemade treats! I made 2 kinds & 2 batches of each...a cinnamon & honey then peanut butter & banana. I am thinking of trying something with apple & maybe a carrot treat for this weekend as the treats seem to freeze well so I want to have a few different varieties so my pups don't get sick of the same kind all the time. (I know I would)
So I started MFP last year on Feb 3rd, tomorrow will be 1 full year for me, I did however not log or workout over the summer last year from May to Aug, this year will be different. But I wanted to share my "Year in Review" success with you guys...in total I had lost 10.5 inches & 26.6 lbs.
My AOTM: I am going to stick with the new calories & macros as best as I can this month & hope for the best & continue with my KM goal!
Have a great weekend everyone & waves to all!

Saltine - A really big Congratulations on your accomplishment at your one-year mark. That is impressive and inspiring! I love that you do inches as well as pounds!
I just did the conversion from KM to miles, and 300km is roughy 186.4 miles. Divide that by 30 days in an average month, and that comes out to 6.21 miles per day. Good grief! That is a lot per day.
You did really really well clocking your 280 km in January!
Where do you live that you use the kilometers? I don't want to just assume Canada. You could be in Asia! LOL
Well, congratulations again dear. Those are stats to be super-proud of, and you have inspired me to not settle for my current 2 miles per day.
