    Starting again here. The only difference this time is that I am not beating myself up. As a saying I am fond of says "Sure, it's a slow process, but quitting won't speed it up". Wishing everyone here a healthy weight loss journey.

    Good evening,

    Miss Snottypants strutted into the boss' office but wasnt real happy coming out and it was a cold silence this afternoon (at least it was quiet).

    Walking breaks as the weather is cooler, RAIN possible tonight in the area north of SF. Biggest fire is there so good place to rain.

    Mac and cheese for dinner and it just is.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Sounds like miss snotty pants didn’t get what she was hoping for. It’s getting cooler here too. Making it better for walking. Stay safe!
  • Morning!

    Happy to report that I dropped 0.7 of the 1lb I put back on so that’s a better start to today.

    Glad to hear the snotty one isn’t getting all her own way Sara!

    Happy Tuesday all 😊

    So I had extra time this morning and made a veggie and cheese crustless quiche. I added a package of Green Giant Antioxidant blend which I’ve never done before with quiche so I’ll see how it tastes when done. It smells good though.

    Good evening

    Passed out after work. I had to get myself up and eat something (piece of bread and peanut butter to start....).

    Snottypants came early to work and will not walk past my cubicle. It just makes me laugh.

    Seems they are running two reports a day- bidaily? - on our departments production now - we do NOT need any more pressure thank you- but it is making Monster nervous.....Imagine if people had to start coming back to the office? Or maybe Monster is just blowing smoke out her backside???? Lying is something she is known for doing.

    Quiche - Missy- key is to have on a high heat 425 for 15-20 minutes to set it and then lower temp to 375. Yours look wonderful and I hope you make more.

    For the last couple of weeks I have had a to do list on Wednesday - not tomorrow. So we shall we what happens.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Oh coworkers. Sounds like a lot of stress. I’m going to try what you suggested on my next quiche. I went by a recipe that said 350 for 20-25 minutes. Obviously that didn’t work as I thought lol.

    Looks and sounds amazing! But what is Pam? I don’t think we have it here? Thinking it must be some kind of low calorie cooking spray maybe?

    Hope everyone has had a good hump day, I’m so glad tomorrow is Thursday as that’s my last working day of the week. Sara your co workers sound dreadful, I hope things get better for you.

    I decided I wasn’t happy with my losses so far (since I have so very much to lose) so I’ve dropped my calories to 1000 a day and am exercising more now. Here’s hoping it works!

    Have a good rest of your day 😊

    Yes it’s a cooking spray. Pam is just the brand name for it.

    Good afternoon,

    Most of my to do list is done, I have 1400 steps to get my 5k.

    Slept in as I was so tired. So only 2 meals today - snacking is another story.

    Pork/red potatoes roasted and broccoli slaw on tap for next two dinners. Mac and cheese leftover for lunch tomorrow.

    Temps and air quality are making it easier to go out and walk.

    Wishing all a good day. Stay safe and sane out there.
  • Happy Thursday all!

    Thanks for the info about Pam, we have one cal spray here so I’m thinking it’s the same thing. It’s my day off tomorrow so I might give the quiche a go then.

    Delighted to report that I got my first stone (14lbs) gone this morning! Only another 8 to go! Lots of walking yesterday so no treadmill last night. Maybe tonight.

    Sara I hope you’re less tired today.

    Have a good day all 😊

    Wow, it's the last day of September! Time is flying.

    Missy - look at that wonderful array of Flooofies!!!! I want to come to your house and dive into all of that fur and snuggle with them.....and brush them too! 😍
    Wishing you good news from the doctor about your foot~

    Nikki - do be careful of your weight loss expectations. Dropping your calorie intake to below 1200 per day may actually make your body resistant to losing, especially if you are exercising. They say we shouldn't lose more than 2 pounds per week 🤗
    Maybe work in a little bit of the exercises that build muscle.
    Hugs~

    Sara - your pork dinners sound really good! Mmmmm!

    Waving to Lynn and Tracy and Roz and Runa and everyone else who pops by later on 🌴

  • Missy your dogs are gorgeous! We have hairies too but ours are English Settters. Very fluffy but maybe not as much as yours! Hope the foot doctor goes well.

    Lana I’m so heavy right now that if I went to my GP and asked they would probably give me a gastric bypass on the NHS, so I think at this point anything that gets the weight off quickly is a good start. I did see our practice nurse and discussed it with her and se feels the same way. We’re going to do monitoring appointments once a month with blood tests every 3 just in case it’s needed. Thank you though, I know going under 1200 worries people and it’s not ideal long term. My plan is to get about 75lbs down and then reintroduce some more calories. It’ll mean a shift up as I adjust but I’m more of a risk as I am.

    And good news foot is healing like it’s supposed to and doc said I can give Zumba a try whoohoo. If foot starts hurting wait 2 weeks and try again :-) and I so love the floof. Plenty of snuggles to go around. They are sending virtual snuggles.

    Good evening,

    Pork loins on baking sheet and sweet potato (whole) baking in oven.

    Passed out when I came home but also got my 5k steps today. Dinner at this hour will be interesting.

    Missy - yay!!! That you get to give Zumba a try is encouraging. Thank you for posting picture of your furry friends.I will let Lana dive into the huskies and I will try and kiss up to the little white one....

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.
  • Happy Friday!

    Great news about Zumba, I’m hoping to try it when I can actually move a bit better. It’s very energetic isn’t it?

    Sara I hope your dinner was yummy no matter what the hour 😊

    I’m just about to try water walking with two of my local friends. Apparently it’s supposed to be a good gentle way to start moving and one of my friends has serious back trouble so the water helps her. Will see how it goes. I’m just hoping the water isn’t that cold as goose bumps on my wobbly bits are not attractive! I did get hubby to turn the pool up last night but apparently it only increases a degree a day so at 27 degrees last night it’s still going to feel cold! 🥶

    Hope everyone has a good Friday!

    Zumba is so energetic and I love it. Even though I do have 2 left feet.

    Good morning ladies! ☀️

    It's October!

    I had dinner with friends at their house, and it was carb-heavy! Dessert was ice cream. I ate what was served to me, and then I found that once I was back home, I was craving more carbs!! My body can retain water not only when I eat salty things but also when I eat bread and sugar. Dang!

    Missy - that is great news from the doctor. Listen to your body as you add more exercise 🤗

    Nikki - water exercise is nice! As for temperature, as you know, it always feels cold to start, so give it a few minutes. I say this because my pool heater is dead, yet I was able to swim in it at temps that I would have thought were "too cold".

    Sara - TGIF! 🌴 The Cabana Boys announced that you are the Guest of Honor at the Friday Happy Hour today! ⛱🌴
    Big hugs for making it through another work week 🤗

    Waving to everyone who stops by today 👋🏻

  • Thanks Lana! Water walking was actually quite good fun so I think we’ll do it again at least until the end of the month anyway. Pool goes off for winter then. Too expensive to heat through the winter.

    Missy your dogs are absolutely gorgeous!

    I celebrated 15lbs off today by having my nails done in a lovely shimmering purple glitter varnish. Thought it might be too much but I’m loving it! Good to have a non food treat.

    Anyway today has been full of exercise so much so that even though it’s only 21.50 here I’m already heading to bed. And on a Friday night too 😂

    Happy weekends everyone 😊
