WEDNESDAY

Good morning,

Hottest day of the week here. People say its hot enough to fry an egg on the asphalt..... Cool off posed online before next wave of 100 plus is probably an illusion. We shall see.

Coworker know a lady who is painting rocks to raise money for her mother dealing with cancer, so I asked for and she made 2 so I bought them both, they are being shellacked (sp) as we speak. She puts them out into the community with her FB info and some people will post they found the rocks.

Sleep after breakfast will not be too hard.

Will lurk from work. Wave to all who follow.

Stay inside! Does not sound like a good time to be out.

I've seen the rock thing on FB, a lot... was curious...I can't paint at all... but, I like the idea. I see it a lot in my Halloween page I follow. There are some really good artists out there.

Good morning Ladies~~

I just realized that we have two peeps here with the same name.
Twiley510 is Tracy, and Snowflake1968 is Tracey!!
It's the wee little things in life that bring me great delight. 😄

Sara - do your best to keep cool and watered today.

Dawn and Tracy - First above all >>> do not beat yourself up. That thinking must change!
Take small steps and look only to the future, not to the past.
Make one meal of the day a healthy one. Bring UP your inside thinking so that there is one less reason to be looking for comfort! Chins up! One day at a time.

Try to have your indulgent foods out of the home so as to not bring that stuff in multiples into your Safe House.
Just some ideas.

I might have to crack open The Beck Book later for some more behavioral suggestions for myself and all of us...

Hugs to all,
Lana

Thank you. It really is a struggle. I let so much get to me. Including, not seeing numbers go down on the darn scale. I have been trying to keep my breakfast and lunch, pretty much the same. And, watch portion control at dinner. Too many Carbs, is a lot of the issue, I believe. I think things are "good" until I really stop and think about it. By then, it's usually too late. I've already eaten. I really need to start getting up and making a decent breakfast. I just have no energy to get out of bed any earlier than I have to. I do eat oatmeal with PB... but, it's Instant...I definitely need to get the sweets out of my house. I used to be so good at ignoring them.... now, they just seem to call to me...TOM doesn't help at all...

Good job on your WI...I need to take some tips from you!

To amuse you further, Lana, Tracey and I are the same age!

I am trying to come up a bit with my eating. However, the other two people in my house do not wish to be on board. It became too much of a struggle to eat properly when financial stress hit along with interpersonal conflict. The last seven months have been rough. Hoping the next six weeks will prove better in every way. Time will tell. Thank you to everyone here! You are bright spot for my days.

I am sort of the same, my husband is not really fussy or anything, but I try to give him options for supper and he always suggests burgers, pizza, chinese.... I have gotten so I just buy for him and make something for myself at home. I feel better when I do. Funnily enough, my SIL's name is Tracy. My brother just missed me so much LOL

Kathryn - So cool about your "new" sister. Glad you like her and are comfortable enough to be making plans for the future!

Lana

Kathryn - hi! Good to see you! So glad you met your sister and it went so well! Hope planets are good to you for future visits! Feel better soon!

Tracey-every chance to visit BF should be great! So wonderful you have been able to stay in touch all the years and miles.

Hello everyone. My name is Amy, I am back to counting calories and making better choices in what I eat. My diet has officially started and I am excited to be back on track with MyFitnessPal! I need friends and people who are active. Please add me if you like!

Perfect topic for me. I am the queen of giving up. On weight loss. On reading books. Quitting jobs, my business. College. All relationships until my husband and kids.

This time I want things to be different. It’s far beyond weight loss at this point. I have 7 kids (3 that I gave birth to). The youngest 2 are age 4 and 2 and my body just hasn’t been the same. I can’t think or focus. I need my life and my brain back so I can be the mom/nana/lolli I want to be.

Not sure how... but, I am suddenly able to add pics, again... strange but cool

Happy Friday, all! Stayed home from work today. We've had inches and inches of rain since last night - as if we were going through a tropical storm (but we're not). Charleston famously floods very easily, and especially downtown, which is where I work. I was on my way this morning and ended up turning around and going home. Cars were stalling out and getting stuck, roads were shut down. No thanks!

I haven't been doing the best eating-wise since going out of town at the end of last month - I've done OK most of the time but have had a few major binge sessions. I dared to step on the scale today and I was actually a bit lighter than my last weigh in! I thought for sure I would have gained the weight back, but I've kept off the 5 lbs I've lost in the last month. Pleasantly surprised with that. Now I need to keep moving forward.

I love meal prepping - especially when stuff is on sale! And I'm always searching for recipes to figure out what to make, lol.

TGIF indeed!!

Hope everyone has a great Friday!

@ErynVee - I wish I was a great meal planner, but I'm really not! I have tried it and I just really suck at it! I think part of it is I am so incredibly fussy.

Holy cow.....how did I miss yesterday?
Sadly, Leandro had nothing to do with it. He does like waiting on all of you ladies though!

Back to NPR radio and the jigsaw puzzle.
