Wednesday: Rained yesterday. Did get some sun in the evening! So. . . looks like today is going to be the same. Supposed to be severe storms tonight. Right ow it’s sunny and the temps are rising.
Waiting to hear about the errant insurance charge. This should be interesting.
HUGS and wonderful Wednesday.
72F w/83% humidity and 66F dew point. ACK!
Karen: OH my. Good luck w/the stylist.
OHhhhh, Nurse Ratchett is good to go with the insurance. Only way to handle ‘em. They think that if they frustrate you enough, you’ll quit. Ummm . . . part pit bull here. LOL
Have fun w/your girlfriend walking. And hope the brewers yeast is good in the smoothies. What could be possibly not to like w/chocolate dipped cookies, right!
Joan: Glad you’re feeling ok after shot #2. Do keep drinking water. Hydration seems to help, too.
We’re expecting storms, too. We need the rain. Stay cool.
Nola: Hope you and Don are doing all right!0 -
I am back !!
Karen we saw the Oregon fires on our TV are they near you?
Keeping a low profile at the moment. Just getting all the pre-op stuff done. Only one more then I am good to go on August 4 (that's if we don't have another lockdown.)0 -
Morning
Joan hot and humid sure makes it hard to exercise.
Are you climatized to the humidity?
Not sure about the MFP blogs, I’ll look around
Barb rain for you too
Hope it’s lightning free, we don’t want any fires.
Yes high humidity is a tough one
Nola, prayers for your hip surgery and recovery
For a comfortable recovery, hope the work is caught-up around the house and yard.
Hope Barney is on his best behavior
After surgery do you get to stay at rehab/hospital for a few days?
Yes we are surrounded by fire, fingers crossed Train Mountain survives
Eliza from Sparks, has been MFP emailing me and has joined our group
Hope to see her visiting soon
Today, it's time for some inside HIIT (steps and trampoline)
then stretching and balance
Feeling good so hopefully my daily calorie count will show that
I am ready for Saturday birthday party with presents wrapped

I much prefer cooler temps but humidity is just part of life here in Ottawa. We have A/C which helps on those sweltering days.
Good luck Nola!
Karen, fires like that are so concerning. Hope they are under control soon.
Welcome Eliza! Now if we can get LeanJean6 to join!!0 -
Thursday: Miss Lilly gets groomed @ 8 am, so off to the groomer shortly.
Rained all night. But we needed the rain. Today is supposed to be rainy, too.
Here’s to a wonderful Thursday! WOW! Super fast week.
HUGS
Nola: Glad you only have one more hoop to jump through before surgery. PRAYERS no further lockdowns.
Karen: Yes, still raining. Thunder and lightening last night, but none today. Just intermittent rain.
Hope you’re safe from the fires!
Good for you doing HIIT! Awesome And stretching and balance (that’s a concentration of mine, too.)
LOLOLOLOL Love your meme.
Joan: Yes, praises for a/c when it’s hot and humid.

Eliza great to see you here.
Karen hopefully not rehab. I was home in 4 days last time. I have a good nurse. He knows how to cook a mean frozen dinner in the microwave.
I do hope train mountain stays safe in the fires.
Jean thanks for your good wishes.
I must send Leanjeans a message.
Barb Nurse Ratchett will soon sort out that insurance company.0 -

Friday: Well, well, well! We have sunshine! Lovely! Very humid, but . . . it’s summer!
Have to get the grass mowed. Should be interesting, because with all the rain, the mosquitoes are coming to life.
Going to take Miss Lilly to the park later. She’ll be worn out!
HUGS and happy FriYaY!
Eliza: Welcome!
Nola: LOL! Yes, Jas learned the fine art of nuking food when I had my first knee replaced. LOL Has fine tuned his skills even further!
Yes, the insurance co. did NOT call. Called them. Soooooo . . . expecting a fax w/the codes. We shall see if they do. *SIGH*
Karen: Definitely spoiled w/a/c. Grew up w/o it and not . . . couldn’t do w/o it!
So sorry that the fires are still burning. Doing a rain dance.
Glad your hair cut turned out well!

Good Morning ONE For All
Here's some questions from my BLC weekly Captains Challenge and my answers
1) Share any thoughts you have about how to know if your exercise is good/enough
I feel rejuvenated and the energy lasts into the next day
2) Evaluate your exercise routine
My weekly exercise routine covers the necessary areas with cardio, strength training, balance, and stretching.
3) Share tips on how you make time for exercise....
I try to give my exercise top priority, with a cardio routine after breakfast.
The late mornings or afternoons are for my ST and other routines.
Yes retirement
has been a blessing for my exercising scheduling
Nola, Barb, Joan, Eliz sending my ~ best wishes for a health loving day~

Karen: Great questions! And I agree w/your assessments, too. That I feel energized, stronger, those are signs I am progressing w/my exercises. Yes, I include DV, ST, and stretching. All muscle groups get worked.
Eliza: Stay safe. I pray for those impacted by the fires. So many tragedies over the span of the pandemic.
Saturday: Breakfast @ the diner. Wahoo! Had a nice time. Such good food. Always leftovers!
Poor Miss Lilly was not feeling so good last night. Seems better today. Upset tummy. Poor baby.
Well, we’ll see how this day unfolds.
HUGS and enjoy Saturday.

Happy Day "One For ALL"
We had a great time at yesterday’s birthday party. Stayed longer than we planned. But our buddy had a good turn out of mutual friends so great time to catch-up. We played croquet, and enjoy a wonderful potluck.
This morning I’ll be weeding and mowing the backyard
Eliza, So sorry your area is in high heat AND extreme drought
Our beloved forests are on fire and burning fast
Barb great assessment too getting all those muscle groups
Kisses to Miss Lilly!! Hope she feels better and better
Joan and Nola

Still not losing weight but I’m feeling better every day.
My evenings are NOT consumed with unhealthy snacking.
And after dinner, I’ll continue doing 10 minutes of cardio.
This seems to help me stay-out of the sweets and gives DH time to eat his dessert WIN WIN
Let’s start our Day ~~dancing~~ here’s Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive

I "right click my mouse" and open links in another TAB saving my MFP spot

Wednesday: Going out to breakfast this morning! Wahoo. Have a meeting @ our diner so it’s a bonus breakfast! Wonderful.
Very hazy yesterday. Apparently residual smoke from the BC fires. Amazing.
Here’s to a wonderful Wednesday.
HUGS
.
Karen: We had haze from the fires, in British Columbia. Had it yesterday and at least it’s diminishing now.
Had a good appointment!
Jason had a check up and that went well.

OHHHHhhhhh who COULDN’T dance to Stayin’ Alive! Thanks!
Nola, Eliza, Joan: Hope it’s a good day.

Love the beegees and the disco beat! Grew up in that era, they never get old. Wicked storm yesterday but it broke the humidity. Beautiful evening tonight. In bit of a slump, no loss on scale for days. Have decided to take body measurements to look at progress instead. I feel great and clothes feel better but that darn scale has a hold on me, lol. Hugs to all and happy to have and give support.1

Barb sorry for your hazy skies
It's amazing how far the winds can blow the pollutions
Having your meeting at the diner would be perfect. Is this your medical friends.
Are you wearing masks? I've started wearing mine again when shopping
Joan 'wicked storm' doesn't sound good
I seen the news about big floods in Colorado
Be safe, don't lose your power (one of my fears)
thanks for the reminder about body measurements, I took my waist measurement about 1 week ago.
I don't feel like anything changed but visualizing/reinforcing a change should help
Yesterday I did go to a park luncheon with 5 friends
Today we are meeting by the river to play with our little tubes
I'm getting to feel too old to fight river rocks but we'll see
How's this for staying focused and out of the sweets
Thinking this well HELP

Thursday: Wow! Friday EVE! Unbelievable. Feels like it is jus speeding by.
Jason had a check up yesterday and it went well.
And we had a business meeting @ our diner. Wahoo for a good breakfast and getting things accomplished.
Today – hair cut day!
HUGS
Joan: Yes, love the BeeGees, too. Glad the storm broke the humidity. Ours is building.
Go by how you feel and how your clothes fit vs. the scale. It can be a liar! OY
Karen: Yes, I am amazed @ the smoky haze. And it continues tday!
No, yesterday it was a business meeting w/4 others and yes, word the mask. I do in public with the variant, even though fully vaccinated.
Oh a park luncheon sounds wonderful!
BWAHAHAHA! I think that’s a perfect ‘get-up’ to stay focused and out of the sweets!
Have a good day ladies, and stay out of the sweets! LOL1 -

quick peek
Barb enjoy your salon day, always a great pick me up
Joan 'one day at a time' is my new philosophy for the week
Nola prayers for calm before your hip surgery
Eliza prayers your high heat are cooling
I enjoyed yesterday's tubing luncheon.
Always so exciting getting on the tube and then exiting the river so it's like a cardio HIIT routine.
No rock bites is always a successful adventure
