    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    Well I did some more work last night and earned myself a little more money. I am hoping to add to that amount as the week goes along. Today it is my main job and working on the basement that is on the agenda for today. I have to finish cleaning the basement.

    @cormierannie - Sounds like you had a busy day yesterday. Hope you had fun
    @CSEGUIN2 - So glad you had a good weekend. The scale can be fixed later. If you had a good time that is what matters.

    Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day.

    Hi Team! Continuing to do interim challenge on Shapeshifter spring thread. Just checking in here. Sunny day here but cool spring weather for us.
    I currently am on low fodmap diet & finding success in slow but consistent & sustainable weight loss with low calorie, low carb & moderate fat & protein. I like the nutrition tracker part of MFP & trying to daily pretrack my food to make sure I keep my carbs low is major help for me. Have a great Tuesday all. 😎 Smiles Barb

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Didn't get much movement today. Heat advisory is in effect. Also had TOPS today. According to them I gained 5.5 in 2 weeks as I was not there last week. But am down 1.4 in regards to my scale last week t home. Either way definitely fixable and not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Slowly working in getting things back on track one piece at a time.

    @kedwards1996: It is great to hear how others are eating to lose weight. What worked for me is counting calories and lowering my calorie intake until I lose weight while doing lots of outdoor work. It's gotten me from 220 to 150. And right now, I seem to be stuck at 150 but then I've been sneaking in sweets lately and not posting my calories as accurately as I need to be.

    I awoke before the alarm (startling) and was outside by 8:30 and dug up or lopped off stumps along a trail. After I had lunch, it was way too hot to continue outside and so I zoned this afternoon. Feel for those at the Cardinal's double-header tonight. Also, the poor ballplayers and workers!

    Happy Birthday @CSEGUIN2! 🌈💥💫🎂

    I'm catching up tonight on the news around the airport. Sorry to hear that some of us are having some health issues. Prayers for all those who are seeing doctors or finishing up appointments. And I regret that this isn't more personal. I've shot my wad today and am ready to crash into bed. The weeds keep getting bigger and I keep getting slower. Yet, grateful for everyday I'm outside or getting cottages ready for solitude seekers.

    Have a great weekend ALL!

    Nice that you were able to be outside today. Way to go!

    @kedwards1996 - try experimenting with lemon, lime, and different herbs and spices. Dried herbs have stronger flavor than their fresh counterparts, but fresh are great on eggs, salads and other mild-tasting foods. Thyme has been my favorite on chicken and pork these days. Have fun!

    Any idea when the team invitations will be going out? I’m thinking of switching about switching internet and for a few days to get my head back in gear but don’t want to miss them

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well. Today is my last day of work for the week. I have vacation days after this. I am using them too. I need to get *kitten* done and I want to go to this concert. I am super nervous and excited all at once. I never know what to take and what not to take when it comes to concerts. I do want to go a little early to see if I can buy some merchandise. That would be nice. We will see how much that costs.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 - Hope you get home ok and are healing well
    @HealthyBarb1 - Great job. Is that a certain type of diet. I always try to be low carb and low calorie. Maybe I should look into this.
    @CSEGUIN2 - Not much movement here either due to the heat advisory. It was enough just to be able to breathe outside.
    @NovemberGail - I could not imagine having to work in this heat.

    Well it is time for me to get ready for work. I hope you have a great day.

    @Tabatha_Cain Low FODMAP diet is my prescribed diet for digestive healing & IBS after a year of being ill with multiple hospital stays. It is very restrictive diet but also the 1st thing that is finally helping me heal.. Low carb and Low calorie with consistant exercise are what work for me to lose weight.
    @alicecatlady glad you found our team on MFP. Each start date is unique but season based. Start date will be posted on here & then you will get an invite to your team. Welcome!
    Hugs to everyone who is dealing with Hot Weather. Our temps are mild but muggy lately. Thankful cause currently perfect walking weather.
    Have a great Wednesday all.
    Smiles Barb 😎

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Today has been a scorcher with a high of 35°C and feeling like 45°C with humidity. Supposed to be like that for a couple more days. Got my walk and a wonderful bike ride in early this morning. Have been doing chores around the house to stay cool and productive. This morning was real foggy. Got a letter from Hubby's disability. Time for me to get back into the work field. I have not worked officially in 20 years. Think I should do the training options first and go from there. Will see what the worker has to say when I call them next month after I get the next set of info. Unfortunately as my studies are not full time I must do more to make them happy.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope your day went well yesterday. My day went great. It was a good day. I have today and tomorrow off work so I have a 4 day weekend. I am totally looking forward to the weekend. I am so tired this morning but once I get up and moving around I will be alright. I am hoping it is not going to be so humid today as it has been the last couple of days. I go to my concert tonight. I am super excited and nervous.

    @CSEGUIN2 - It has been super hot here too. What do you do for school?
    @cormierannie - I love that you do some dancing. It is great. I should try some dancing I just get winded so quickly that I stop dancing to catch my breathe and never start dancing again. I also have no idea how to dance. That could be it too

    Well I have some things I have to get done today before my concert so I am working on that today.
    Have a great day.

    Good Evening Everyone!

    I have been studying fitness and nutrition.

    Today started out very hot and humid. My walk was a little slower than usual and opted out of a bike ride after my walk. A storm rolled through with thundies. Luckily it was done before I had to go to get my cavity filled. Also went to the grocery store and then walked home. It's still hot and humid but not as bad. Tomorrow is supposed to be cooler.

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Love the dancing 🐱🤣!

    Today was a very active day. Went for walks equalling about 10.5 km. Also went for a bike ride and added a few stores in my trip equalling about 18.2 km. I am tired but in a good way. Also went to work and cleaned for an hour in the afternoon. Then went and visited my friend. Great day all around! Also cooler.
