Happy Saturday!
We're enjoying a thick fog this morning - even overnight it was eerie and white outside. Not a breath of wind, so the fog is just sitting there. I read somewhere once a long time ago that fog is the clouds coming down so that every creature, plant, and the earth itself is connected to all the others, and we can share more easily. It has always stuck with me, and I love the image.
@CanadianGiraffe
You are inspiring! PRs, especially when you are now lifting more than you weigh, are fabulous. I still get a thrill from lifting up some weights and remembering that I used to carry that much weight before even picking one up. It is a great reminder.
@conleywoods
Wardrobe magic! Isn't that a blast? Fixing things up and actually NEEDING to shop for clothes because things are too big. YAY. Don't forget the tiara...1 -

We had some fun sword training in the park today. Lots of dogs wondering why we weren't throwing the big sticks though lol. It was nice to get into it again a bit.
Check out the view from the park we were at though. I didn't even know about this place before!

Here's a short video I made for my staff today. I hope it makes you smile.

@evangsimmons170 I loved seeing your video!!! Such a funny/not funny story about the Lemony Pine Sole and 🐝. And by the way, you have an amazing smile!!! It was fun to hear your voice too. Have a great school year. ❤️🤗0 -

Back up again. I don’ t know what it is about today’s weight, but I’ve been that exact weight so many times these last few months.
Missed getting on yesterday. Busy staying informed about the California fires. So so sad. My best friend’s sister and her family have evacuated as of Thursday night. The rest of our friends and relatives out there are ok, but the air is terrible. Keep California in your thoughts if you are so inclined. The devastation is heartbreaking.
@ells_runs Boy, you have really had a rough year and I am sorry for all you are going through. So good that your son was brave enough to reach out for help. I’m happy to hear he is doing better. You are a mighty woman to face all this difficulty and turmoil. You have faced it and proclaimed it will not destroy you. I’m so proud of you. We are all here for you to vent to whenever you need to. Glad to have you back active on the team. It’s a good place to be. 🤗
Not much else going on here. I spent about an hour trying on clothes pretending I have somewhere to go. 😂

@Terytha What a wonderful view! I'm glad you and your hubby were able to get out and enjoy the day as you practiced your sword fighting.....that's the same as "fencing" right?
@micki48 you look amazing! You definitely make the dress! Hats off to ya!
Thank you everyone for your kudos about the video. Life is too short to be serious all the time. LOL2 -
@evangsimmons170 Not really fencing actually. Fencing is a western sport that uses a kind of bendy-straw-like stick called a foil to score points.
I learned to cut to kill eastern style with this:
That's Chibi, my sword. XD
In pair work we use wooden ones so nobody gets hurt. But most of the movements are solo.4 -
@Terytha Chibi looks scary! Remind me never to make you mad! LOL

Grumble? I know where i can improve. it will be cool to see me implement that to see how much difference it makes! I fantasize that it will make all the difference
Here's to a new week. A new challenge. And coming back to post. I'm on vacation sunday after work for 5 days or so.. so it will be nice to connect a bit more.

The secret is that she's made of aluminum and duller than the average butter knife.
I'm a huge sword nerd, not gonna lie. Always have been. When I told my dad I'd joined a sword training class he said, "I knew you would." And reminded me of how when I was a kid I turned everything into swords. Sticks, cardboard, leftover siding from house repairs. XD4 -
Steps for the week where on point, I started running again which felt AHHHMAZING!!! And my food was on point which showed in my Friday weigh in... Now if EVERY week could be like this week and I could just hold strong... fingers crossed I can keep this up!

@micki48 You look adorable and love the dress! Great color and it looks like it could be styled in a variety of ways for several seasons. Love that!
@jugar I really need to get a tiar. I love all things dress up and pretty so it's a little surprising I don't own one! I have a belly dance headress that will have to do for now. In all honesty it might be more fabulous than a tiara.
@teryth It is the most impressive giant butter knife around! My husband just got set up with a forge this week so blades are a hot topic at our house. My middle son may be destined for some sword action some day. When he was 3 he hated going to bed. His nightly routine was to first rip the camera down, then rip all the curtains off the wall and take the curtain rods out. Finally, use his sword to attack stuff in his room. It didn't take long for all of those things to be bolted to the wall. Hope he likes red curtains...forever 🤣4 -
@Terytha Chibi is very cool! Do you get to dress in appropriate style as well? I'm visualizing Japanese/anime?

@evangsimons170 that was a cute video. The Pinesol story!!! 🤣 Remind me again, what part of the country are you in? Ug is exhausting because it is all virtual. Sept. will be just as exhausting because we will be hybrid, herding Kinders around!
@ells_runs You have been going through a lot! Give yourself some grace. Life has thrown you several curveball. I can't even imagine what you are going through. 💕 Praying for you.2 -
@micki48 you look so cute! That's a great color on you. At one point over the summer, I started trying on clothes for no reason, too!
I am consistently having 5 great days in a row, and then falling apart on Fri/Sat. I am determined to break that habit. This week, I am going have one planned "cheat" not day, not meal. This week, it will be my baby's birthday next Sat. She is going to turn one!!!4 -

While I'm not overjoyed that the scale hasn't budged, I do feel good about meeting my step goal 5 out of 7 days this week. And the walks (there's a lot of big hills here) seem to be getting easier - less heavy breathing on my part. Just keep walking!6 -
It's been a super busy week. I've "scheduled in" a walk with my husband today, and although it's nowhere special, it will be special enough just to get out and walk with someone else and enjoy the sunshine. I'm looking forward to a lovely Sunday.
@evangsimmons170 Loved your video! I have a Screencastify training this week so you've inspired me. I bet you are just so much fun to work with!
@micki48 You look AMAZING in that green dress. And so happy
@Terytha Wow! That's a very cool hobby. Chibi is one heck of a butterknife!
@ells_runs Have courage. A lot of prayers coming your way for the tough times to pass.
And @ all my fellow teachers out there, there are so many unknowns and unfamiliar practices as we begin this new school year. We need to remain positive, be resilient and think outside of the box.
Our students will still arrive with wide-eyed wonder bringing with them their joy and enthusiasm for learning. I will do my best to live up to their expectations. Best wishes to you all for a great year.4 -

It is Japanese yeah. Samurai arts. We're an offshoot of kendo so we wear what they wear minus the armor. Big flowy pants called hakama and a shirt called a gi, with a wide belt or obi.
I love the ceremony of it. Even dressing/ undressing and folding the clothes has a ritual.4 -
@jugar

Hope your Sunday is going well. Our step reports are lacking many reports. Please get your steps in ASAP. I would like to try and finalize the Week 3 report tomorrow morning.
Still need the following people's steps:
@evangsimmons170 all week
@theweeonemfp all week
@eggfreak Tuesday through Saturday
@tobeme3 all week
@YinxFed Wednesday through Saturday
@jguldi11 all week
@Gidgitgoescrazy Saturday
@evelynladams527 all week
@ells_runs If you are still participating in the step team, all week
Met my step goal for today. Haven't logged anything yet, but may go try to fill that in. Babysitting sort of today while my daughter worked and son in law looked at his phone.
Thank you for all the sweet compliments on my "I wish I had somewhere to go" fashion show. @conleywoods You are right. The dress was originally worn for Christmas with a black satin ribbon belt. I got that dress on Amazon for $28!
Hope everyone is ready for a great Week 4. 1
