Good morning all ~~
Melanie - That is interesting about a women's only section of a gym. Back in the day when I was going to gyms, I would have appreciated that.
I hope that you get many good things for yourself in the city and then have a good visit with your father. 💗
Sara - your day sounded good. Congrats on the new computer! I hope that the set-up is easy and that it brings good things to your life. The international store sounds great too! Good for you 🤗
Waving to Tracy and Missy and Sherry and Jordanna and anyone else who pops by later on 👋🏻

Good evening,
Cold and the trees that have started to flower/bloom will have a tough time as it has been near freezing most of the week at night.
As I prefer cold weather bring on another layer......
Boss gone tomorrow for husband's medical procedure and I hope things go well for him.

Happy Friday everyone ! 🌷
I hope that today is a good one for you.
What are your plans for the weekend? I myself don't have any yet; the weather will be poor here.....
Lana
264.8 really scary, but I know why 😣1 -
Good evening
Lana the only 2 things I have on my to do list is get Chinese food and dejunk.
New manager meeting went pretty well, she stated that it is her train and if dragon lady doesnt like where its going she can get off the train.
Tired tonight so I will turn in early.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.0 -
*** February 26 ***
Gloomy Saturday here...inside and out. The weather affects me.
Sara - how good to hear that your meeting with new manager was encouraging, literally.
I very much envy you your Chinese food. 😋
My sister refers to dejunking as "crap abatement". Hmm. I wonder if they will change that one word to "kitten". We haven't had one of those in a while.
Waves to all who pop by today to say hello!

Good afternoon,
No eye candy soccer this morning. Went to International Asian market and their Chinese section was not open but I did get Mongolian Beef (Korean style) and Tonkatsu (Japanese), so I am set for the weekend.
Got some extra steps in as well, so trying to create ways to hit my goal.
Lana I hear you about weather, I had to start a pink scarf as my winter color scarf got too depressing. Find the bright colors around you and gaze at them.
Wishing all a great day. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
*** February27 ***
It's foggy today, both outside and in my head.
Yesterday I tried to hook up my older, flat-screen television to the DirecTV stream fiber gateway, and I hit rocks. I cannot figure out how to get the television to recognize the service. I will have to search online for some sort of "geek service" to come to the house, disentangle whatever my ex-DH had set up here, and get things working. Ugh.
The major reason I got the TV service when I got the real-people internet service was to be able to have that big thing in the living room tuned to some harmless station, so that I would feel less alone in the house.
The scale today was up so badly, I can't even post it. *shh....266.4* Hopefully it's mostly a sodium problem combined with no exercise.
Thank you for letting me complain today. 🥺

Good afternoon,
Lana, I am with you. I find tech problems really annoying. Best to have a "Geek" come by and fix, short term loss- long term gain. Let us know about the geek guy too.....
I understand about the fog- one of the divas from church is in high gear (seems we are not paying her enough attention). I ignore her as much as I can, but then its hard for me to ask for anything. Maybe next week???
Laundry going - never ending dilemma - at least I can do laundry.
Weekends are just too short.
Wishing all a good day. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
*** February 28 ***
Sara - yes, the weekends are too short!
My goal this week is to just keep my head on straight, and the proper eating and exercise will follow. Crossing fingers.....

Hello everyone!
I've gained a couple pounds this weekend. It's crazy how one bad weekend can just derail so much progress. I have joined a gym and have been going regularly, I just have to get my eating under control. I joined noom to see what it was all about and ended up cancelling because MFP is just so much better. I like the community and all the friends and seeing peoples diaries and stuff. I just gotta crack down and focus!!!
I hope everyone has a good Monday!
- Jordanna1 -
Hi Jordanna 👋🏻
You are so right about "one bad weekend" !!
I agree with you about MFP being so much better than noom. You got this!!
I managed to walk with the ladies today, and my mood is much better than on days with no exercise and no people contact.
I have to go search around this site and see what else there is.....usually I only come right here. I need to get out more! Ha ha!

*** March 1 ***
Wow, it is March!
I couldn't get back to sleep when I woke up at 4am. It will be a foggy, stumble-around day. Dang.
Today I will cook up the huge amount of boneless, skinless chicken thighs and freeze individual portions. This will be my go-to lunch meat instead of the usual salty, processed lunch meat.
I'm not doing to well with weight loss, but I can work at healthier foods, right?
I hope that all of you have a good day today 🍀.

Good evening,
Meant to come by last night but after a 3 hour phone call with a coworker, my night was toast.
Eye test and Dr apt, my cataract in my good eye is increasing again. Otherwise things in eye-land are doing okay.
I have a secret meeting to go to on Monday - maybe things are moving along at work?
Tomorrow is day off so sleeping in is #1 and getting out and walking is #2.
Lana on bad days anything to stop the complete unraveling of all your good work is a step in the right direction.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
*** March 2 ***
Good morning all ☀️
Sara - that is exciting to hear about your "secret meeting" on Monday. Maybe you will be transferred to a different job, not under Mrs. Monster? Whatever it is, the Cabana Boys and I are cheering you on!
Thank you for the wise words about stopping complete unravelling! You are the best 😘
I'm walking with the ladies this morning.....well....I follow behind these ladies. They are healthy and fast! I'm like an old plow horse following a couple of retired race horses!
Waving to all who stop by today 👋🏻

263.0 today, heading in the right direction again1 -
Happened to stop by today. Glad to see everyone again.
Just haven't been on the MFP thread I guess.
Finally at 105# Started AIP protocol Jan 3rd and as of today I am at the last 2 foods to "remove" for the protocol. I have left my 1 diet soda a day and my "crush pineapple" drink flavoring. which means, I am having limited sugar / aspartame at this point. But otherwise I am having:
Whole Foods: Greens, no nightshades, no fodmap. But I get sweet potatoes, no other potatoes, beans, legumes. No chocolate, no tomatoes, no green peppers, but onions are a yes, and so is garlic. Any meats, they would like shell fish more often, and organ meat (blech, not happening). - coconut or olive oil. Honey, coconut sugar. One protein drink (Vegan) a day.
Its going well. The hardest part is 2-5 because I get bored at work and well... normally look towards food to fill in that void. now I dont' have that as an option (oh, no caffiene/coffee). no dairy, no eggs.
Anyway, so I am still working out each morning. Feeling very good, and a lot less bloated...physically and mentally. The sun is out today (75 degrees) can't wait for 5pm!

Good evening,
Was out playing with the bubble machine and the neighbors 3 year old.
Update - meeting is tomorrow as I am taking 2 weeks off starting Monday. I need to sleep as I am the walking exhausted.
Lana you went walking if you keep doing it you will be up with the healthy walkers. Think how nice that would be. Keep going.
I have french bread pizza in the oven with 2 baked potatoes to eat with black beans and sour cream.
I also have the makings for a large pasta with meat sauce. So many meals set up to have when I get home this week and next.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
*** March 3 ***
Wow Sherry and Sara - you are both getting it done, each in your own way.
Sherry my hat it off to you with all of those restrictions, but we must do whatever possible for our own welfare.
Sara - two weeks off!? That sounds fabulous. Sending good vibes for that secret meeting tomorrow.
Well, yesterday did not end as well as it started, and I went way off the rails. I ate out as an indulgence, and naturally the scale tracked it all for me.....out of control emotions and a sense of not caring, etc. etc.
Back on track today. 👍🏻
Waves to all who stop by later on 👋🏻🌴

Hey there Missy 👋🏻
How are you doing up north? I hope that you are OK and not working too much~

Happy Thursday Evening,
Meeting at work was not what I expected in that it was quite sterile. Gee why hadnt I said anything sooner? I was quite blunt in saying that I did not say anything as nothing was done the first time and I didnt have a lot of faith this time would either based on my history with this companies HR.
Just glad tomorrow is Friday.

All things are good just very busy. Maybe too busy. Tempted to consider giving up weekend job but might see if I can try to work only one weekend day instead of both. I don’t think they will have an issue with it.
It’s up and down with weather. Can’t wait for spring to come and stay for a bit.
How are you doing?0 -

That’s sad one would hope that HR would take appropriate action but they not always do. Hope it gets better and that you have a nice 2 week vacation.0 -

Good morning all~~
Missy - yes, see if you can get a little more flex on your weekends. If you drop down to one day per weekend, maybe they can ask you from time to time to work both days, and that might suit you....?
Sara - HR is all about the protection of the company and is not meant to support employees. Just is. Unfortunately. It'll be good to get away from there for a while.
Today is haircut for me and then grocery shopping. The skies are blue and the sun is out, and I am grateful for that.

I’m hoping that. Main job is seriously picking up really could use an extra few hours at and make more.0 -
Good evening,
Long day gnomes were creating all kinds of craziness in our database.
I have a to do list for my 2 weeks off so not a complete zombie fest.
Rain last night and wind today have made the cars quite dirty. Oh to own a car wash business....
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

What does everyone have planned for the weekend?
I need to walk a bit both days and chip away at the jungle outside.

Good morning all!
I've been weighing in everyday and writing my weight on a calendar on the fridge so that I can visually see it every time I'm in the kitchen. The last few days I've been in a steady decline. I hit onederland a couple weeks ago, but then lost it with a bad weekend and now I'm just trying to recover. I'm 0.8lbs away again. Maybe tomorrow!
I also put stickers on the calendar of when I go to the gym so it's very visual as well. I really am getting in the habit of going to the gym after my coffee. It's just becoming part of my days off. Now that I'm single, I have so much control of my time and just feel motivated. I want to be smaller and healthier when I get back into the dating scene. I also told you guys about the weddings I have in the fall, so it would be so nice to lose some weight by then.
I've also been using hello fresh and it's been soooo fun. I love it. The meals are sooo delicious. Some of them are a little higher calorie, so I gotta be careful during the day but it's so worth it.
I hope everyone has a good Saturday!
- Jordanna3 -
good morning,
nice to not have to hear the alarm go off for awhile. Rain possible here and very much needed.
I told the newest coworker it was her job to make sure the newest temp stays with us. Not the best of choice and I hope to come back to the new temp still at work. Boss was throwing crap at her about how fast she needed to be on her 2nd day.
with any luck soccer this morning- grandma needs her eye candy
wishing all a great day - stay safe and sane out there1 -
*** March 6 ***
Happy Sunday everybody!
Sara - No alarm clocks for you for a long while! That's great! I hope that this will be a time of rejuvenation for you 🌴
Jordanna - We are cheering you on to re-enter Onederland any day now!
Nice to hear that you are enjoying the Hello Fresh. It must be neat to have some new foods coming your way. A friend of mine recently said he was tired of his own cooking, and it's true that you can get in a rut. Good for you with the stickers on the calendar for going to the gym!
I'm still trying to feel awake. Ha!

Good morning, Cabana Crew,
I've been lax in checking the group. Was in New Orleans 2 weeks ago. Ate horribly, but walked 25 miles in 3 days, so balance?
I read all the past posts. Glad most everyone seems to be doing fairly well.
Spent the last two weeks catching up on house and work stuff. Last Sunday, my dryer went out and we had been having trouble with the washer for a while. This will be our 4th set in 15 years since we tended to buy basic sets before. We bit the bullet and bought a better set than we have ever had before.
Tomorrow, I leave for Boston. Will be back on Friday.
Hope everyone has a superb Sunday!
Tracy in Tennessee3
