Catching up on a week's worth of chats!

@littleblackskirt Yes, it is a new chapter in our journey, and we are excited! I look forward to loving my "new" place too. : )
I'm so sorry about your losses. ((hugs)))

@beachwalker99 Yeah with moving to raw land there's a lot to do. I had been hoping to prep my body to be a little more fit. I was hoping that we'd get help with at least one extremely heavy thing but it didn't work out so we'll struggle through it. It will be nice to just sit a few days after to recoup, right? My husband says that I can bike ride when we get there, so I look forward to that.

@more_freggies76 Oh yes some of the tools have been quite helpful, thank you! I'm finding that I can learn some good tips and tools from others on this thread/platform, which is really nice. How do you find the will power to say "no" to your husband's snacks? I have a hard time not wanting to get some for myself because he tends to consume the whole bag that same day. I've run out of hiding places too for saving some portioned snacks for myself.

@cschmitz110515 I'm starting to only be able to post once a week, but glad to see you hopped on. The theatre outing sounded like fun! I haven't been to a theatre for years. Reminds me of that ytube joke-ad from the Southern Thing about AMC Theatres at home experience. I thought it was funny. Sorry to hear about you feeling unwell though, glad you're doing better now.

@TerriRichardson112 @MLCTX @beachwalker99 Way to go on so many check marks on your goals!

@PackerFaninGB I hear ya about intentional activities, motivation, and procrastinating! I will try to do it too as I prep to move. It's a battle of the will I think. I've heard it many places about motivation won't just come to you, you just gotta do it. I think I do better getting the "don't feel like it"s out of the way early. I am so ready to be able to do things like exercising early in the morning (can't hear because of restrictions).

@Janele0627 You can do it! One day at a time!

@FoxySprinkles Sounds like nice goals - morning walks, water when hungry, and a nice smoothie. What's your favorite smoothie?

@hap2go Nice goals! Good to break the sugar cycle. I think keeping things simple is a good plan to achieve goals and make habits.

@Snowflake1968 I too look at little goals and wonder why I find it so hard to do just one thing. I just have to pick something out of my long list, make it incredibly short and specific, and keep trying...keep writing it each day on my list until, like you, I get sick of not crossing it off. Also, I look at that dang scale and get upset sometimes (like recently). Don't give up.

@pridesabtch A bike ride sounds really nice! We had cold, snow, then rain for four days straight. I can't wait for pretty days!

I forgot who mentioned rheumatoid arthritis but I wanted to say that black cherry juice seems to help tame the flare-ups for my husband. He gets it in his feet.

@littleblackskirt It’s a difficult job, but you will get through it. (((Hugs)))
@MrsHermit Good to see your post. Keep us posted when you can.

Early start today. My daughter and I are taking her boys to the natural history museum in NYC, our first such trip since before the pandemic. We made a last-minute decision to go before the city's covid protocols (vaccine requirement, masks, and timed entry ) are lifted. Temperatures could hit 70 today, so we're looking forward to a walk in the park before we head home. Guess I won't have trouble meeting my exercise goal today!

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!
