5 Random facts about me:
1. The sound of my cats scratching, licking, or otherwise performing their toilette near me on the bed makes me crazy.
2. I like Historical fiction because it brings long forgotten high school history stories alive (unlike Mr LaMoth, who was deadly dull)!
3. I’ve moved 18 times in my adulthood.
4. Making big batches of food makes me happy, but eating leftovers for days doesn’t.
5. I love the sound of amalgam fillings as they’re pushed in and they “squea-ea-k, sque-ea-ea-k”. It’s but a memory since they’ve made most of them into ceramic crowns.3 -

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I had a wonderful day yesterday - a big long snowshoe up in the woods, buying a bathing suit (YIKES! but it was actually fun), my son came up for dinner - a lovely and quiet day.
So now I'm about to do tallies. Happy Sunday, everyone!4 -
@jugar it sounds like you had nice birthday. I've always wanted to try snowshoeing, but we do not have snow near me I would have to go to the mountains.
Sorry I have been absent. I haven't even been logging my food and I fear a gain tomorrow. But, my steps are good.

Here is a fun thing that Team Shrinking Assets has been doing for a couple of days. I thought we might need a bit of quirky info about each other - you never know when it might come in handy!
1. I’ve also met my husband at an younger age. Met in 8th grade, dated at 17, went to our senior prom together, and married at 25!
2. Lived in Chattanooga,TN for 8 months due to my husband’s job, and boy do I miss those beautiful mountains!
3. I’m currently finishing up my degree in Respiratory therapy. I’ll be done this May 🥳
4. I studder badly when I talk lol it runs in the family. If I remember to slow down, I can usually control it.
5. I love chocolate chip cookies BUT I have to pick out ALL the chocolate chips because I really really hate them! LoL2 -
PW: 157.5
CW: 156
Once again, 3 days at 157 then the drop this morning.
Go, team, go!2 -
I am really LOVING the 5 Random Facts! @jugar thanks for sharing the idea. Keep them coming.
Many young brides. And only children and people with large families. So interesting to learn more about you all.
@mrs_jar5311 I also find myself chewing on the inside of my lips. I usually don’t realize I’m stressed until I catch myself doing it. It drives me crazy. And 100 grandchildren under 41!! Wowie 😮
@mrs_chivonne I don’t hate chocolate chips, but I always make a few at the end with no chips in them. 🙂
@conleywoods Wow! Your first degree at 17. How many do you have? I guess if your now mother in law was a colleague, you must get along well.
@evelynladams527 the cat and fillings cracked me up. My old dog used to lick himself right beside my bed all night (it felt like). It drove me nuts.
@evangsimmons170 I love that you are dating your ex and finding new, wonderful adventures together.
@jugar So interesting that you are deaf in one ear and a musician. My sister as well. She was a sing along piano player. (They called her the sing along queen.) If you could hum a few bars, she could play it. Just played chords with the left rather than read the actual left hand music. She had quite the following.2 -
Even though I only lost .1 this week, I see this week as a success. I managed to exercise, at least, ten minutes every day this week. Usually more. Habit here I come. I made it to the gym twice. I had my biggest stepping day since I started. Over 15,000. I stayed under my calories all but one day and logged everything.
So even though we don’t always see what we would like on the scale, there are many successes that don’t involve the scale. What are your non-scale victories (NSV) this week?3 -
Sunday weigh in:
Previous weight - 175.8
Current weight - 178.1
Sorry to have slipped into the red! Not a great weigh in, but i'll do better next week!2 -
