    Good morning Tracy! Always good to see you!
    Be really careful on your flights, etc. Stay healthy~
    It would be cool for you to visit the Moose Lodge 👍🏻

    Sara - Alejandro and Philippe will be helping you with your exam today. Let us know how things went~~

    None of my ladies in the Friday walking Meetup signed up, so I didn't go. Later today, it is going to be in the low 60s, so I hope I can drag myself out on the trails. Annoying electric company trucks are in the neighborhood looking for trees to take down. That noise will get me out of the house and in my car to go to the trails.....

    Happy Friday
    Just checking in: I have gained some weight back and am considering going the extreme route and throwing away my ice cream in the freezer. I had a rough week and need to start fresh. What to do.... what to do....
    The holidays are creeping up on me, my goal right now to stay away from extreme sweets and to reduce my own baking extravaganza that usually happens each year.
    Happy Hanukkah to anyone that celebrates.

    Stay safe.

    Good evening,

    Tracy!! and Melissa!! Good to have you both stop by. The next couple of weeks are so crazy for people.

    Exam is only have over boss and auditor kept interrupting me, one more thing to complain to manager about.

    In my attempt to sleep after work, phone kept ringing and waking me up. Aargh.

    Very very glad it is Friday. Alejandro is making hot chocolate while I write, thanks for sending him along. He will start cleaning my house soon.

    Wishing all a good night, stay safe and sane out there.

    Good morning everybody~~

    Sara - for goodness sake - can't believe that exam didn't get finished. Alejandro is not the best with housekeeping, but he's nice to look at while he tries!

    Melissa - baking extravaganza? Yes, sounds like trouble. 😍

    I must get into the shower - zoom breakfast in a little while

    Good morning still.

    Groceries and hair apt. People need to lighten up, if you now you needed your hair cut for a family gathering you make an apt - its called planning ahead.

    Now I cant do that when it comes to groceries - I make a list but it sometimes doesnt always work.

    Hey Alejandro figured out the vacuum and washing plastic dishes (for storing food) so I was pleased.

    Rain here so all that leaf dust is going away - yay!!!

    SUNDAY

    Good morning, today is RAINDAY - much needed but not helpful during a food pantry drop off..... I have a nice big umbrella and will do my best.

    Scale is up shock eat too many of my cookies that will happen. Gave half of my presents away so I need to make more cookies this week starting today.

    Wont be much relaxing today but I will get my steps in for sure.

    Happy Sunday All~~

    I almost forgot to check in today! Good grief!

    Sara - I hope that your food pantry drop-off went well along with any additional baking you might be doing.

    I got out in the yard today for about an hour and did some pruning and wrangling of the jungle that grows out there.

    Now it's time to look at my jigsaw puzzles and find one that I haven't done lately. I own at least 12 of them, but I've done them all multiple times. Rumor has it that the thrift stores have no puzzles because of the pandemic; I should go an look anyway, and take them a couple that I don't like very much.....

    Good evening,

    Scale is telling me about my naughty food behavior and Lana is right 5 months is not too long....I am good getting 5k of steps I may have to raise that ##.

    Colder here it is December after all - so glad to be feeling "normal" weather wise.

    Friend gave me a tree with lights on it (miniature one) so now I have 3 - easy to decorate and take down so it is looking nice in here.

    I am grateful for the bright sun beaming in through the windows~~

    Today is another day to try to get closer to being on program. The nighttime needy-eating is only one of the problems.

    I will be looking at what I can change up to make things better. I think the first thing is to change my dinner to a later time and make it protein heavy with no or less pasta/sugar/rice component.

    Lana

    no change

    Good evening,

    Forgot to put on my pedometer and made sure I took my breaks. Monster was in high gear today and I really dont like her anymore. She wants sympathy because she has to stay longer (to do more work) no happening from this quarter.

    Load of towels in wash - overdue anyways but I will start using the washcloths to help with my eyes by using warm/hot water and letting the heat help soothe my eyes at the end of the day.

    Will be giving another cookie present away tomorrow and then one more gift sometime between no and Christmas eve. I gave the 4th lady my Christmas light necklace as the lady from the church gave me one for volunteering Sunday - 2 necklaces at the same time would be just too obnoxious for one person but if I SHARE the obnoxiousness then that would be better... Impish little me.

    Lana - small changes are better than none and I made sure to walk as much as I could today. Keep up the good fight.

    Good morning all~~

    Sara - that was a nice idea--sharing your Christmas light necklaces with someone else 🎄 So sorry Monster is in high gear.

    Today it is pouring rain; none of us Meetup walking group ladies wanted to walk in this bone chilling weather, so that is one less happy thing today. Poo.

    It's my birthday today. Lately the depression has been flaring up, so I have not planned any sort of treat or adventure today.

    So, some nice coffee, a hot shower, and breakfast for me, then maybe I can set up some lights in my studio and get a little painting done. There's always the new jigsaw puzzle. It's that Van Gogh painting Cafe Terrace at Night. Nice saturated colors.

    Waves to all who stop by later on~~

    Good evening,

    More fun at the zoo than allowed- and its only Wednesday.

    Lana - a quiet relaxing day for your birthday is sometimes a wonderful thing.

    Now if I can walk more than the calories I inhale.... that is my latest plan.

    Hi all it’s a snow day for me here. Dogs are happy frolicking in the snow and catching snowflakes and snowballs. Planning on getting a lot of things done around the house. Declutter and get my bags and boxes together to donate. Going to get on the treadmill too at some point today. Verizon just came yesterday and got me all hooked up with gigablast internet so I’ll be streaming my entertainment via a roku, and I signed up for sling -prepaid for 2 months and got a free antenna to stream free local TV. I’m going to be saving so much money cutting the cord. I’ll check in later.

    Hope everyone has a great day and stay safe!

    ~ Missy :-)

    Checking in:
    My job is offering a free 2 month subscription to a yoga website so I am trying it out in the hope that it will help me move the scale.
    I don’t want to have to start AGAIN with eating but I have given up on a soup diet I was doing. It was too restrictive and I feel more comfortable sticking to fresh healthy foods.
    Snow day in NYC and with pizza Friday looming ahead I know I am up for a weekend of work to try and stick to my goals.
    Best wishes for everyone!

    Good evening,

    New part of my job is having to call and confirm ins for patients. Yesterday I spoke to someone in Hawaii and today Colorado - no sun either place but it was sunny today here after a night of hard rain.

    Missy - wow what snow!! Your first front door lets me know you live where it is expected to snow. That is such a beautiful picture of snow - not so beautiful if you get to shovel it - calories burned are calories burned.

    I am trying to think of someone to make for Christmas day food wise. What is everyone else doing?

    Latest plan is to see if PB2 would increase the protein in peanut butter cookies for coworker hoping to get pregnant. Will be making more cookies this weekend as I am eating too many of the last gift.

    Happy Friday all~~

    Missy - the other day I posted at roughly the same time as you did, so I missed your lovely birthday post.
    Thank you so much!!

    Melissa - you and Missy have certainly gotten your snow! The yoga sounds inviting~

    Sara - I'm glad your area got some rain. Always a good thing!

    I am disappointment and relieved at the same time that no one signed up for today's walk. If no one goes, I bail out too. But it's 37 degrees this morning. If I wait and walk myself at 2PM, it will be 44. Not a big difference, but significant.

    The scale had an ugly number this morning. I am paying for some very salty food choices. Dang.

    Good afternoon,

    Came home and passed out/sleeping. I am about to get the 2nd day of 6k in steps, little harder to get 1k without adding another walk, but I am working on it.

    Shopping tomorrow morning for tortillas and will make burritos to freeze and use for lunches next week at work. Also pick up things for the holiday.

    Laundry in dryer, finally got both of my work pants in at the same time. Dont know why that is so difficult.

    Good morning! The sun is coming up through the trees, and this really sets a hopeful tone for the day. ☀️

    Sara - that is a big deal for you - your getting in 6K. Not easy when you work most of the day. So hurray for anything over 5K 🎉

    I went shopping to one of our two big Target stores, and I was so disappointed. The store must be having troubles because so very much of the stock is empty. There were plenty of people in there shopping. I don't think it is the past "run" on certain goods.
    They did have my brand/size of toilet paper, and they had my specific laundry detergent. But they had almost no printer paper, and none in legal size that I need. They didn't have my shade of hair color. They had almost no kitchen/dish towels.
    There were a few other things I needed, and it just wasn't there; only empty shelves. It was faintly scary. I wonder if the other big Target is the same....maybe I'll go look in a few days.

    Good morning,

    Lana it may be your Target but there are weird runs on items -who would think instant dry yeast would be so popular??? for example. Hope you have better luck with your other Target. Seeing empty shelves does not calm the pandemic hysteria/paranoia that hangs over us like an emotional fog.

    Waiting for a phone call from jewelry lady who has my latest purchases. She is working OT for the holidays and her family needs the income so I dont mind waiting - know that I will be sleep later.

    Weekends are a little harder to create reasons to go walking, but I will have to find a way.

    I think I need to get rid of the stacks of junk mail. Maybe some cooking for meals for a few days.

    Good morning,

    Just for fun I deleted 55 friends requests, I dont know what that process means so I ignore it. I dont mean to be rude I just dont understand it.

    Damian is an out of work server at a place I eat nearby, keep him busy he doesnt like to sit still.

    Today is last batch of Christmas cookies - any cookies from here out will be bartered for. Will also make burritos for meals this week.

    Otherwise no errands on the to do list.
