Serial Starters

Good morning Sara!

Couldn't fall asleep last night; this morning, woke up way too early. 3.5 hours total. Jeez.
So, I did some paperwork, and now can't keep eyes open.

Everyone have a nice Sunday. I'm going back to bed.

Very nice weekend here...SO and I went artifact hunting with part of his family, Sat.... it was quite enjoyable.. had a picnic on the creek side, and just enjoyed the day... actually had the weekend off, and was able to just relax... today wasn't sunny but, not too cool...was still a good day and, got more walking in than normal on my days off...the evening is ending stormy... goodness... poor pup is shakin like a leaf... starting to quiet down, thankfully... thunder was loud enough the house shook... hopefully, it is ending for the night... otherwise, will be a long night

It is proven that this works better if you have people that can hold you accountable for your bad days, otherwise I tend to endulge myself quite often, and I have been trying for 4 years to lose weight, mainly for health reasons, so if you think we can help each other, please add me!

MONDAY
QOTD: what will you be working on this week?

AOTD: I too, need to work on walking/exercise. Was doing so well with doing workout videos with co-workers. Then flu hit. Never got back into routine. Will have to try to work around new work travel schedule.

Gorgeous, albeit chilly, weekend here. Spent about 10 hours total driving Saturday - met my SIL and niblings In northeast Indiana to visit with step-mom and then stopped to see my mom on way home. My step-mom is a spunky 99 years old. We went out for a lovely lunch and had good visit. My mom, on the other hand, refused to even acknowledge I was there. Would not talk to me. Don't think she knew who I was. Dementia is a cruel & vicious thing.

Busy with IFWDA (Indiana Four Wheel Drive Association) Convention. Its on St Patricks Day and we are crazy busy with planning & prep. So far, over 170 people registered. Usually there are only about 60-70, tops!

Will lurk from work....

*calling CBoys to bring sunscreen, hot tea & hot choc - sun shining but its a tad chilly here today*

*waves to everyone who stops in*

Kathryn - So sad to hear about your mother not recognizing you. It's an awful disease. I cannot imagine how you feel.
I am glad for you that you have upbeat things in your life, including that IFWDA. Yay!

Saltine - I call that soup Zero Point soup, but WW has another name for it, maybe Garden Vegetable Soup. It has showed up in their plan basics all through the past couple of decades.
So Zero Point soup to me is soup made of broth, which I think is no points and a bunch of zero-point vegetables. You can throw in any additions that you want and only the additions count.

Missy - Regarding your mother and a generator, it may be that someone will have to help her get going with this project. And it IS a project. To do it right, in my opinion, would involve a licensed electrician coming in and adding a sub-panel next to the existing electrical panel at the electric service entrance in the building, then running the circuit between the generator and the sub-panel. This is in addition to actually choosing a generator (company) and having it installed and fueled. Pardon me if you know this already--I can't remember if you said you have one where you live now.

Sara - I hope that your appointments go well today and that you find some time to do things that make you happy.

There's another storm coming along on the East Coast. Shakespeare: "something wicked this way comes", from The Scottish Play......
So I'd better get out walking very soon!

Waves to Annie and Dawn and Tess and everyone else who stops by later.

Sara - So doctor wants to check your BP in one month? Then it shall be Beach Bunnies' Boot Camp! Maybe you and I can buckle down together. I just finished my once a month piece of Pink Cake from Amy's Bread, so I'm ready.

I think it's funny and great that Tillie wanted more walking, so you did more sleuthing, and reported your findings to the High Command!

Time to put on my jammies, do some more junk mail shredding, and then back to watching some Netflix.

Wow... some crazy weather here! After such a great weekend, it was practically a blizzard, today... winds were so strong and snow just came down... luckily, it was warm and it didn't stick... supposed to get more, tonight... how crazy...

Good movie... Personal Effects... wasn't sure at first, a little different (dark maybe) ... late night TV, never know what yer gonna get

Hello! I’ve been trying out Noom, and I like the interactive part of it, but I’m not sure I want to pay for it. This group seems to have that going for it. Can you tell me what you guys are about? Like, how do your daily posts work? And may I join?

Great! Here’s a little about me.

I’m 31 years old and middle school teacher at a Christian school. The school is part of a residential childcare facility. We take in at-risk kids and give them a home, therapy, and an education. I have been overweight my whole life, and I now understand that my size is really an asset and a blessing to my work with kids who have experienced trauma. However, I want to get back down to being reasonably overweight and cardiovascularly fit for my long term health.

I’m going on vacation with my brothers and sister this summer. We are going hiking at the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park. My first goal is to be in better shape for that. I will be adding in walking and lifting weight to my routine.

Lastly, I love to pray for people, so if you have any stresses that are making your health journey difficult, please let me know.

Hey there Dawn!

To All-- it has at last finally officially started really snowing here in The Big Apple - the snow is not melting away - it is sticking and making things out in the back yard of the apartment building turn white......

Ash - what part of the country do you live in? I tend to be weather-fixated, as the ladies know.

Also Ash, we enjoy pretending that we all get together at a virtual "beach club" where all of our troubles are soothed away by the ocean breezes and some end of the day time together. ( Just so you when we make some references to the Cabana Boys etc.)

Your summer plans sound good, and it's good to have that future event to focus, I think. Sometimes "for my health" is just a little too vague of a goal.

Almost all of us, I believe, have pets, including doggies, except (whimper) me, a person with doggie envy. So if you have any pets, please tell us about them and post some photos.

Waves to all who stop by later on~~
