Good morning everyone

@Dianedoessmiles1 -weather has definitely been warmer! We have been in 40s and 50s. Lots of rain though. Thursday-Saturday then we had a break. It’s back yesterday and today. Not even bothering to look at the weekend yet. How about yours?

happy thursday everyone! it is a beautiful mostly sunny day here today. my daughter says hi to everyone! both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i got in a walk and i feel great! i will definitely be doing some dancing later on after supper. i just finished up with some volunteering at the local tennis tournament here and i feel great! i enjoy volunteering and do so whenever i can. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.

It's been a rather busy day today but I got a lot done and a lot of steps in as well. Over 10,000 according to my Iwatch. Stopped at Denny's after a walk with my sister Alice and had my usual from the seniors menu. Walked the Bike/pedestrian over pass along the skytrain to Richmond. Got to the level part and then turned around and came back. Both of us were tired.


@Dianedoessmiles1 got some buildings and mountains for you ... and planes for me LOL
I hope everyone has found their home on their team and have settled in nicely. I am sure you are roaring to get Saturday off to a great start!

Hello I am here and still want to be a part of the team. I am needing the motivation to apply myself to my job of getting healthier.

Happy Friday everyone! I conquered the treadmill today. Got it up to 5.0 with the incline going crazy up and down. It was fun

@Dianedoessmiles1 BWHAHAHAHA on the rain, you know I live in RAINCOUVER lol aka Vancouver !! I love the rain, it fills the watersheds so we can have water and the birds have a shower and the trees have a drink. There is so much benefit to water, but I am sure you know that. Naturally when there is too much, it can be dangerous as in the flooding we have had this past fall in the Abbotsford area. Are you ready?? I am ready for the 9th ! and the 15th as well. I enjoyed the walk with my sister. Now I don't have to do that for a while, its not my kind of walk, I prefer flatlands ... and my back is still sore !!
Hello to all and have a wonderful Friday and a great start tomorrow !!

@hayds342 ,, NICE Hiking boots!!! Bring them on week 1 for sure!! Likely all of the weeks, even the tropical ones are hiking paths!
@Patti241 ,, HI Patti!! DId you get a LOT of rain today? YO we sure did!! LOL@Lindiemaep ,, RAINcouver!! I DID laugh to hard at that!!! Indeed the 15th with the reading starting tomorrow, as is the challenge. It'll be a good day!
@Macrat12,, HI Sarah!
@Cormierannie,, HI To you also Annie!!
@Margo1960 ,,, I saw you were able to get on with your team! WTG!!! We take off in the AM!! Please please reach out to your leaders if it's confusing, and it was for most of us when we first started. I was so lost for over the entire first weeks!! But the team leaders were GREAT TO me, and yours are same. Hitting the chat on your team may help also with questions, and if you wish here too!! We all want you to achieve that dream!
@Cseguin2,,, It's good your S knows what'll go on. Indeed our minds can go SO CRAZY with stuff that'd not ever happen. Sure hope they'll help him so he's as comfy as he can be. Nice that you got a few errands done! WTG!!

@Patti241 ,,,, I am not sure how much rain we got, but it was more than I care for! Yesterday many of the roads around here had deep puddles. I HAD to go through one because there was no way to turn around, but it wasn't deep enough to do any damage to the car, just enough that I slowed down a lot!
@Bookienj we need these!! As does @Patti241 LOL DUCK FEET SLIPPERS!

Awwww TY for the well wishes. I do not have the date yet, knowing the way things go,, LOL Covid will hit again, and I'll end up waiting for the foot surgery until December!! OOPS NO!! Oh yeah from Oct through March are COVID months, so about a year from now. With the GI system that may be a surgery also, but its not an elective surgery since it's interfering with my breathing. BE NICE if they did them both at the same time! It may not mean surgery, but the GI Dr already said he thinks it's the way it'll go.
WE ARE NOW UP IN THE AIR!! WOOHOO!! Are you all enjoying your team flights? Any questions? Today a friend and I walked around Walmart since it was ,, YUP RAINING on and off. We did get to laughing pretty hard, when as we checked out (after 115 mins of walking! YO!) with our few things it started to pour and pour HARD!! It was fast though, so we didn't really get that wet.
How has your exercise gone today? Remember if you are struggling at all PLEASE let your leaders know. That's one of the reasons we are here. We enjoying passing along what we've learned. TY TY TY TY TY for helping your team plane GO FORWARD!!

Soup is great food. Broth-based (bone broth) is the best. While I missed my cilantro and bean sprouts in my walk to the grocery store, i enjoyed a pho-like soup filled with freggies.

Soup, salads, and freggies are my "go to" to help me make the best "me" in this challenge.

Be the Best Version of You!

@Cseguin2 ,,,, LOVE GIRLS TIME!! Glad you got that!! I cherish that myself. Most of us do. WOOHOO on not being a house.
@EjoyEvelyn ,, NICE JOB!! So very healthy!! You've got this!!
@Novembergail ,,, LOVE THAT PICTURE Gail!! So nice, so peaceful!! We miss ya, but WOW you ended up on a GREAT TEAM!!

@NovemberGail good to see a post from you, love the picture. Hope all is well.
@Dianedoessmiles1 wonderful day today - great public discorse and of course afterward, I got to go for a walk and found some treasures -


I forgot to tell you that Amigo had an issue at the vets last week when Gene took him to get clipped - he had an ingrown nail - not on the pads but on the upper part of his paws ( not sure what that area is called) and the tech cut it too short, it bled and then the vet had to look at it and order a prescription of antibiotics and then charged a consultation fee for his own tec's mistake, Gene was livid and called them saying he would never bring his cat back there that they hurt him. I explained to Gene that if an ingrown toe nail on a human hurts to cut it out then it would hurt a cat too and cat's are different. Anyway Amigo is still favoring that pawarm ? but can stretch it, walk, and that, he just won't let us tough it or look at the nail area. Gene said when they brought him back to the reception area, that Amigo was hissing and growling so Gene knew it hurt the cat!
Well I hope all are off to a good start, or good enough, progress, not perfection eh !!
