Hi everyone! Such a crazy day. Started out normal. But my daughter’s (who is a dancer) had a foot that was bothering her. We think she has blisters and a wart. So I spent a good long time finding a dr for an appointment today-between being people on vacation and sick it’s rough. Then toilet overflowed. Then while walking with a friend, dr called-had to cancel his kid got sick at dr. Spent an hour finding new appointment, hubby and daughter are there. I didn’t eat junk as much as I wanted to! Ate just normal lunch

Good Evening Everyone!

Last night ended up eatting a whole medium pizza by myself for dinner. I have never done that before. I even had a soup bowl of spinach ceasar salad. Today trying to keep the food under control but not really working. I don't know what I have but it seems to be hungry. I felt a little better today but not much. Completed all indoor workouts so am not stressing about what I am eating right now. It is what it is. Got almost 8 hrs of sleep last night as I went to bed early and set my alarm for an hour later. Doesn't make sense to get up at my usual time when I am sick and not studying.

@Dianedoessmiles1: This photo of my psychologist, Billie, is for you. Knock on wood, but she hasn't been going after skunks, but the same cannot be said for baby rabbits. Sigh. And, yes, those are Catawissa and Cricket, my house cats. They just keep getting bigger and bigger. The community here has six cats and two dogs, so sometimes I will share photos of the others. Of course, I am partial to mine.

@CSEGUIN2: Glad you are sleeping and feeling better. Take care and the hunger bug won't stay around long.

@Dianedoessmiles1 -Aw thx! Hope you have a great weekend!

@Novembergail ,, Awww there's that ever WAY TO SWEET and very entertaining Billie!! HI BILLIE!! We've MISSED YA!! And your Mom of course!! Oh absolutely HI To Catawissa and Cricket from Izzy PUUUURRR PUUURRRFECT!! GLAD Billie realizes ,,, LOL HOPEFULLY those skunks lead to special treatment!
@Patti241 ,, HI Patti!! It was a wee chili, but not to bad. Last night I was walking back from the grocery store about 7:30 PM, I didn't need a coat it was 42. A couple of teenagers (Girls maybe 14ish?) stopped me "Aren't you COLD?" I had to giggle I wasn't cold. An older woman stopped me "Aren't you COLD?" "No, when I walk I get super heated. I'm going to HATE SUMMER!" She laughed "Yes, me too! HOT FLASHES!" we laughed and kept going. Mind you it's a 3 to 4 min walk home at this point.
@Bookienj,, any plans this weekend? Today I took it easy. A friend and I did run a few errands this afternoon, that was nice. We both tire out pretty quickly though. So strange we've been friends since our late teens into our 30's we were so FULL of energy, we took up rollerblading in our early 30's! YO huh? Oh BTW it's NOT a good idea to the first time you go out, to do so at night (our logic the neighbors won't laugh at us) but IF THEY COULD OF SEEN US THEY SURELY WOULD OF!! Neither of had really practiced stopping, and OOOPS we hadn't taken into consideration "THE HILL" where we both LOST CONTROL!! Somehow we both managed to stay upright trying to NOT scream our silly lungs out! LOL we avoided that hill afterwards. I still drive down it often and every now I'll start to giggle.
@Cseguin2,, so glad you are starting to turn the corner. Just do what you need to, let that energy build up. Though we know you want to help your team, if you come back strong, you'll feel better, and that's ALL any team wants for each and every member.

Good morning everyone

The male hummingbirds are arriving! They are a bit later than last year. Also saw two swallows so they are coming back, too. So far I haven't seen any phoebes or summer tanagers. I just need to wait patiently.

Good Evening Everyone!

Today was a beautiful summer like day. Feeling so much better today! Just need to get rid of the cough completely. My day was very productive and still feeling energized. I am listening to my body each day all day. Normally I would have just made excuses to sit around while sick even when I didn't need to. Not this time! I HAVE THE POWER! 😂

Hello everyone. getting ready for my daily walk

happy monday everyone! it is as very mild and partly sunny day here today, with a chance of rain later on in the afternoon. my daughter says hello to all! both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i have been for a walk and i feel great! i will definitely be doing some dancing later on after supper. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.

Good Evening Everyone!

Still having sinus and cough issues. It's been more like Spring today with cooler temps and rain all day. Had a productive day! Organized my cupboards I have been planning to do for a week. Also organized on top of the fridge. Also washed down countertops and stovetop. Workouts and step-ups done as well. Feeling stronger each day. Soon it will be time to hit the books again. Maybe Wednesday. Not going to TOPS tomorrow as I am still sick. Will be weighing at home this week. Not going to stress about the number for multiple reasons. But mainly it's a different scale. Have been watching a Robin for several days. It's definitely determined. It continues to try and make a nest but has had no success. It has tried 2 different spots on the house next door. But just can't seem to get anything to stay long enough.

Depending on how you access your team you might not be aware of an issue that has been discoverd so right click on the link, request new tab or window then when that one opens, click the link again and read the information about an outage for certain functions. I won't go into detail since it is nicely addressed at that link:

@Bookienj ,,, So strangely Maine is a rural state, yet. The upper part of Maine is very rural, but the numbers are simply crazy up there. I am in the Southern end ,, on the coast and yet, our numbers are also picking up quite a bit. So far everyone is feeling ick, but no more than that. TY TY TY TY!!
@Cseguin2 ,,, Awwww so cool to watch the birds as they look for a place to settle down into. They indeed do not give up. Fascinating to watch them!! Glad you are feeling better. Since Friday I am slowly decluttering (SPRING cleaning) my kitchen also. I "Think" I have to many containers for food, so OUT some shall go ,, well to GW or I'll see if any neighbors want some. Many are making meals for each other, those who do not cook are benefiting, and in turn they are helping the others who do cook with other tasks. It's so nice how much we care about each other. GREAT JOB on your progress!
@Novembergail,, LOLOLOL When I lived in CO the crazy family set up an ENTIRE CUPBOARD TO IZZY so she could sleep ANY PLACE in it she wishes. Hmmmm I quickly told them "No, Izzy does NOT need a cupboard!! I was of course OUT VOTED!! LOL She also ALWAYS had a fresh glass of water ON THE DINING ROOM TABLE! at all times! HMMM NNOOO!!!! Izzy DOES NOT need water in a GLASS on the TABLE!! AGAIN I was outvoted. At least everyone LOVED Izzy. Awww Catawissa is so ADORABLE!! Awwwww so sweet!!! IZZY APPROVES OF ALL of their antics!! OH I MAY ADD my GS and Izzy shared the SAME GLASS!! LOL I was stumped, but who says Teenage boys are SMART? WELL he was, but!!
@Lindiemaep ,,, Mine has been fine. Has it been taken care of for you? Are you now able to see the pictures on the home feed on your computer?
@Nbruns83,, we are still doing the racing,,, the top 3 teams tend to be the same ones who always got the bonus points. In these 3 (usually 3) top teams getting 100, 75 or 50 points it made it even harder for the Final weekly points for other teams. This way the other 5 teams aren't at more of a disadvantage for the Final Points. We wanted to close that gap better. I am the CL of the Positively Strong 4 Life team, and indeed agreed that we really didn't need 100 more points for coming in first or the 75 for 2nd place. Does it make more sense this way? ITs the Final weekly points that helps the team in it's overall standings. Each team at the end of the week for the Overall points is scored at 25% of their final points for the following 4: Exercise , LTGL 1 , LTGL 2 and their weigh ins. PLEASE DO ALL continue to help your plane land first, it's fun for us all to see how we do. This is still very much a part of the "Race to exciting places" it's not been discontinued. Only the bonus points are,, the WOOHOO and excitement is still there very much. As a CL, I'll still be encouraging our team to work for that spot we are usually in.

happy tuesday everyone! it is another mild day here today. tomorrow is going to be a lot colder than it is outside today. my daughter says hi to everyone! she is working at her part time job today when she finishes school for the day. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i have been for a walk and i feel great! i will definitely be doing a lot of dancing after supper today. have an amazing day, everyone! take care and stay safe.

Good Evening Everyone!

Today has been cloudy. Also was my rest and weigh day. Gained 4.65 lbs 🙄. Oh well it is what it is. I know what's causing it so just need to get more serious about my calories and other things. Did some marching, step-ups, and a core workout to get some movement today. Time to start cracking down on my food intake and make way better choices. I have done it for multiple years and there's no reason not to now. I CAN DO IT!
