Serial Starters

Good morning All~~

Thank you for flooring tips. Please understand that I move more slowly than a sloth, and likely will not be doing anything with the kitchen for a year or more.....
Kathryn - wishing you good results for everything that you have on the drawing board!

Sara - you did very well yesterday, even if you did not manage all 10K steps.

My phone told me that my 2-mile (known) walk yesterday was only 1.5 miles. It was pouring rain, so hard-earned too!

I haven't told you all that I have failed miserably at the WW thing.
I got out of control on the 2nd week three weeks ago, my weight went way up; I didn't want to see a gain early on in the process, so I have avoided going to meetings. Meetings here are stupid-hard to get to by public transportation. When I joined, it was during a week I happened to have a rental car. *sob*

Sorry - too much writing this morning.

Gotta get going to get out there when the weather is best and clock some steps for Sara!

Waves to all who stop by later on~

Good morning Sara ~

There's no carpooling that I know of. Everyone has cars. This is the land of cars. Half the students have cars.
I just need to stop whiiiiiiining, because the WW is in a shopping center that has bus service.
I'll keep up on line with it, and go back to meetings once I lose some more weight. I FULLY realize that this is screwed-up unproductive thinking, but that's the way it's going to be.

Waving to all who stop by later on. Time to go out there and get some exercise!

Sara - imagining lots of jumping
Thank you! My family isn't close and his....well... things would have got ugly at some point... so, we are both perfectly happy with how we did things. Let them get upset. We are the ones that matter.

Missy - Thank you!

Sara - great steps!

Well, first day of being a married couple has proved not so fun... yes, everything is great with us... adulting is no fun! Haha... ran to town, got home, completely flat tire... thank goodness we were home and have a spare. In the meantime, somehow, battery drained in car (something about a football game on radio) he put charger on it, but not sure if it's actually charging.... ugh... hoping to wake up to a charged battery. Otherwise, no idea how I'm getting to work....

Happy Sunday

Good Morning all!

Trying to not have the Monday blues this am. Had a really lovely, busy weekend as always. I really don't know how to relax most of the time, lol. Got a few walks in too, but ate so-so. Celebrated my husbands bday since I was out of town last weekend. It was fun, though.

I've been staying right around 183 lbs. I really need to get the scale moving. I'm glad I'm not gaining but it's time to get the ball rolling.

I made a veggie tray this weekend for the party so I have lots of fresh vegetables cut up and ready to snack on this week. Also meal-prepped some mexican-type chicken for lunches. Plan is to walk most days after work. I just need to get in the habit of moving more period before I start making larger exercise goals.

Congratulations on your marriage, Dawn!! And I hope you have a better day today!!

Keep up the walking, Sara! You're doing great! I need to keep up with mine and drink more water too!!!

I'll try to lurk from work! Have a good day all

Good afternoon.

My 71 year old neighbor whom we've been living next door to for the past 12 years died in his sleep overnight from heart failure. His wife found out when she tried to awaken him. I liked him too.

My neighbor on the opposite side died several years ago.

Both wives were left behind.

I'm just thinking and feeling sorry.

Ttyl.

Dawn~~



Lana 🎉

Eryn/ Kathryn - thank you! We are so happy we did a simple wedding. Too much other things to worry about. Who needs to worry about spending money you don't have on 1 day. Yer bound to offend someone, no matter what.

I can only hope, our luck over the last couple days, isn't an omen of things to come...haha... flat tire, dead battery, dead T.V.... now, the cousins sister is wanting to come visit. She said, she has to go to court, because cousin didn't have everything in order as he thought. She is trying to get house in her name. So, back to worrying about if we are going to have to find a place to leave. Even though, she says no need to worry. Makes me worry even more... guess, we'll find out when she gets here...

Low-cal Avocado Salsa discovery~

Target sells an avocado salsa by Good Foods brand of Pleasant Prairie Wisconsin (Lynn!). It's in the refrigerator section.

It makes a fantastic salad dressing at only 20 calories per 2 TBSP.
(I'm sure that other salsas can do a similar job.)

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Quick salads for several lunches or dinner in a week:
Throw together a bowl of rinsed black beans, garbanzo beans, canned crushed tomatoes or Ro-Tel tomatoes and peppers, add onions and whatever else you want. Mix, drain, keep in bowl in fridge.

Throw a big scoop of this onto a bed of lettuce - instant easy salad with a bit of protein.

The salsa goes really well on the salad.

No Soup for You!!

I love it Sara~~

Wow it's been a busy few days on here. I got far behind this weekend while working at my craft fair. It was a very successful show and now we are busy preparing for the next ones coming up.

Lynn - A 2nd wedding, how exciting and expensive!

Dawn - Congratulations!
