@trooworld yikes heatwave's horrible. It's nice that you get to work from home, I hope you stay hydrated. We had to deal with that back in July. Here on the east coast, we are in hurricane season.

@TeresaW1020 Yay for fall !! Good luck with your weigh-in.

@vegan4lyfe2012 Great loss !! Wow, $34 for a pizza. That's a lot. Prices have been skyrocketing all over the US. Thanks for the card, I enjoyed it::). Potato quesadillas sound yummy. Will try it.


@happysquidmuffin Your morning walk sounds so refreshing.

@FushiaKat Great loss !! Happy 1 year anniversary Sands castle room sounds fun.

@Cornanda Glad to hear that things are getting better at work.

@Jactop Wow that's an amazing step count, I'm sure the results from all that walking will show up soon.

@davidji82 Great loss !!

@GabiV125 It's only when we take a break we realize how stressed we were. Glad to know that you are enjoying your vacation.

Happy Friday Everyone

Work has been crazy with one of my colleagues leaving. I haven't logged my calorie intake but making sure to walk as much as possible. My smartwatch alerts me to walk every hour so it's been helpful, otherwise, I would be glued to my chair.

So far I have an average of 9174 this week. Hopefully, I will be able to catch up this weekend.

This is the Blank Room I started with.


This is what I have done so far, you can see there's still lots to be done, and I'm tossing around some ideas.


There's a lot of stress involved in the contest building since I've won first place for every contest the last 4 years. It's most difficult to come up with new stuff. I'm hoping to be finished by this weekend. The new computer is very fast and pretty amazing.

Sorry for being so late with my stats.

@bgame4 good luck with back to school! I’m a teacher as well and in prep mode. What grade/s do you teach? Hope your new principal is good and budgets decisions help you and not hurt!

@GabiV125 I'm sorry about your gallbladder issues but that is nice that you get to spend time with your daughters visiting family. I'm sorry, I'm no help with the app issues. I hope someone chimes in for you.

@Divya365 Yeah, I am much more of a fall or winter person lol. It is nice that I get to work from home! Sometimes I struggle to find things to do that I FEEL like doing but I manage to keep busy enough. Hurricane season doesn't sound fun! Have you ever been in an actual hurricane or just threats of one? I get those notifications from my smartwatch but I usually ignore them, I need to get better about getting up and walking. You are inspiring me! That's a great average of steps.

@vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you so much for my card, I love it (as usual), you made the perfect one for me!!! I appreciate it so much. I hope you have fun at your conference, is it for work or pleasure?

@FushiaKat Wow, that looks like a lot of work! Well done. That's good the new computer is very fast, that probably helps out a bit.

@leti126 I went to a Van Gogh immersion experience last year, it was awesome! I came home so inspired. You have great goals for the weekend. Good luck and have a great weekend!

@bgame4 I'm sorry you are experiencing shifts at work, too. I hope that you aren't affected by the cuts.

Hi all. I lost 0.4 lbs this week, the scale is heading in the right direction! It's really muggy here but has cooled down slightly. I'm going to my WW meeting this morning so I am likely to start tracking again today, which will be good for me. I'm meeting a former colleague this morning for coffee. That will be nice. Have a wonderful weekend!

My phrase for the year: "Something needs to change…so I will take no crap and eat no crap!"
