Hey Tracy - I enjoyed reading about your Gatlinburg Moose adventure. Why did you say that you hoped it was your last trip there?

Lana

Nothing against Gatlinburg itself. We don't care to be away from home in the first place.

AND

1. The Significant Other is a grumpy old man. He has a bad leg that causes lots of pain when he rides in a car and digestive issues that flare without warning.
2. The drive should take 7 hours. We've never made it in less than 10 because he has to stop so often.
3. I do all the driving because I have severe anxiety as a passenger. However, I also have severe anxiety as a driver because I don't trust everyone else on the road.
4. Due to my anxiety, we leave at 2 am. This times our passing through certain towns to avoid their rush hours and reduces the amount of traffic we encounter in the interstate. I also route us on some smaller highways to avoid Nashville. Those interchanges freak me right out. Knoxville, no problem. Nashville is a cluster *kitten*.

Our next conference (possibly the next two) is in Chattanooga. Four or five hour drive. Much, much better scenario.i

In July, 2022, I will attend my first International Conference in Orlando, FL. He doesn't plan to go to that one. I will fly unless proof of the dreaded vaccine is mandatory. I will have no proof because I will have no vaccine.

Hope everyone is well! I'm going to take a little nap now and probably another in a few hours.

Tracy in Tennesse

Hey everyone... I’ve been on mfp off and on for years. Tomorrow is Monday and I want to start tracking again. I’m just about my highest weight right now, will weigh in the morning. I’m such an on again off again girl and am trying everything I can think of to make the motivation stick this time around.

Good morning!
Sara and Lana - 700 pages! I think you two are from the beginning. Thank you for this thread!
Jordanna - congrats! I think I will have to get tracking again. fell off that wagon and thought I could do it myself. Didn't work....
Tracy- glad the next conference is closer. That is a huge endeavor. I am bad at driving long distances because I get so tired. My DH is better at it. He doesn't mind driving.
Maureen - sorry about your mom. That is another stressor to add to your list. Glad about you getting to see your daughter!
Blueliss- welcome!
OK...hitting the links after this - will start my logging.

Hello to all. I’m at my sister’s house for a couple of nights. We may move mom down here soon bc my niece wants to return to AZ. She is such a sweetie but mom fell on her watch and I believe she is taking it hard. Mom wasn’t hurt but keeps talking about it. My older sis and her husband are ready to take mom so it will not be a big deal, except perhaps for mom who is very disoriented About time and where she lives. She loves this house but may still struggle with where she is and why. She is already unable to recognize her own home so it may not make a difference but who knows?

I’m getting lots of cmfeeah air and junk food and enjoying every minute. Craving salads. Produce is so much better here than back home.

Take care and thanks to all of you for your kind words.

*** March 30 ***

Sara - I missed something..... what happened? Why are you sore with a potato in your thigh?
Glad your work cafe is open!

Maureen - Sorry to hear about the difficult road with your mother. It is hard to know what is the best thing to do along this road.
Glad you are getting your fresh veggies etc!

Waving to Lynn and Jordanna and Tracy and Missy and Runa and Dawn and everyone who stops by today 🌸

Good morning!
Welcome Cgraber! It is a great group! Yay on your shot. My superpowers put me in bed for the day after my 2nd one. Heres to hoping you do not get superpowers Have to say it was worth it. I was not 100% positive I wanted it. I am typically a "natural" medicine/healing type of person. But I did it and it makes me feel so much better. Easier to walk out of house everyday knowing I have a much better chance at beating COVID.
Morning Lana. And I agree Sara - sore? Potato? I hope you are ok.
Maureen - sending virtual hugs!
Waves to Tracy, Missy, Runa, Dawn and others who stop in!

*** March 31st ***

Wow! It is the last day of March already. Tomorrow begins a new month.
Anyone interested in a new April goal or two?

Welcome to the new peeps! 🤗

Sara - Ouch! So sorry that that happened to you. I'm glad that you got the vaccine. 💖

Jordanna - Yay for the walk with Max and the fish tacos!

Waving to all who stop by later on~~

Hi!
Sara - I am sorry to hear about your fall. As we age...hate to say that....there are conscious decisions and thinking we must do to avoid falls. My mom actually attended a fall prevention class. Stresses balance exercises, things to do when you encounter stairs, getting rid of throw rugs, stuff like that. She actually learned alot. Glad you did not seriously injure anything. Great job getting your steps in even with soreness!
Jordanna - fish tacos - YUM! Hope Max got a bite! I do eat my exercise calories. If I log and truly stay within those, I can lose weight, so it works for me. it is all the times that I do not even stay within that!
Lana - goals - did we do goals for March...I am choosing to forget the fact that I did not meet a single one
Yes...I will do April goals.
Welcome roz0810!
Maureen - hope you are hanging in there!
Have a grand Wednesday!
~Lynn - the gal who did not step on the scale today...thus proving I met 0 goals. Tomorrow - another new day!

Jordanna - we were really loose with goals for March. We all just decided for ourselves what we wanted to improve on or whatever, and we checked in at mid-month.

However, if you would like to hatch a challenge - that would be good, just so long as it can be something that we are all able to do. You have a couple of seniors here at The Cabana Club, so please no marathons.

Lynn - let's keep on trying on our goals.
That's cool about your mother taking a fall prevention class. I wonder if they mentioned vision. I know that a certain amount of my mishaps and bonks on the head and tripping is because of my eyes, my eyeglasses/bifocals, and just not seeing stuff. If I could still wear contact lenses, I'd probably do a little better that way.

Tracy - you have good goals!
We can do this!

Lana

Happy new month everyone. I'm down 1.8lbs this morning from last Thursday woop!

Thank you very much ❤️🙂

Lynn - That is great about your family coming over on Saturday!

Hang in there Missy! I hope that you feel much better very soon.
We're sending two of the Cabana Boys up north to take care of you 💖🌴🤗
