Serial Starters

This seems like my kind of thread. In fact, I'm starting again today. I have about 57 lbs to loose. It seems like an unachievable goal, but I know it's possible.

Hi to all. We have had a lot of rain. I went for a walk with Skye and was soaked with sweat from the humidity, even though it was only 70F out; no rain at that time, either. I had a treat from my daughter and just haven't been hungry the rest of the day, so I am going to assume that was enough on top of my tuna salad lunch.

Welcome, Queenz. I have discovered that slow and steady seems to work, at least thus far. I'm about 25 lbs down since the beginning of March and it seems something of a miracle. I never get too hungry, even though I exercise a lot right now while I have the time. Once school resumes, I'll be busy teaching and I don't know if it will be so easy. But it's encouraging b/c I don't seem to be having the issues with hunger. I know I will be very tired, and I have to be prepared not to eat as though it will somehow make me feel less tired; I've done that in the past.

Hoping everyone is doing well.

I have been a serial starter forever! Did WW years ago for awhile, went vegan, tried a weight loss program at work. Crapped out early on in some and lasted longer in others. But here I am back to being fat woman. I am determined this is the last time. I am 62, have intermittent afib, my mother died two years ago from heart failure. I just can't take it anymore. This is it! I am all in.

Welcome to Oracle~ Ugh! Intermittent Afib. I understand completely.

I just started having arrhythmia last night and this morning, after living worry-free, having had an ablation 5 years ago. I hope that it settles down today. I do not want to go to the hospital for this during covid....

Sara in UK, what is a cream tea?

Kathryn - So good to see you! The Cabana Boys have missed you terribly!

Maureen - when does school resume for you up in Wisconsin?

Sara in CA - 🎉Congratulations on your excellent walking streak! I hope that the temperatures let you get a few more days in before the next heat wave.

Waving to Dawn and Lynn and Tracy and Holly and Runa and Saltine and QueenZee

Looks like some folks are seeing some progress. Congrats.

To those of you with health concerns, you have my sympathy. It makes things harder.

Lana, I have no idea yet "how" we will go back. Things are pretty out of control here in Dane County. I'm glad we have a mask order and people seem to be observing it. That's promising b/c we have anti-maskers here too.

Our days are still damp but cool and today was sunny. Enjoyed my walks with the dogs. Have bruises from a massage yesterday. The guy is good and I bruise easily, so I'm not surprised. The bruises aren't where my pain was most. Maybe I've overdone it again lately. Backing off to no running for about 10 days, I guess, and will resume then.

Hoping all are staying well as far as Covid goes.

Just wanted to say it is a joy to read your posts Lana. I really need to meet some of the cabana boys. If they like stubbies I am all in!😀

It is a plate of small finger sandwiches, with mini cakes and scones with cream and jam, traditionally served with a pot of tea. Its usually known as Afternoon Tea. Its a very traditional treat.

True! Only advantage to doing it in my view - hate housework!
