Good afternoon everyone, oh boy it is too hot here for me. BUT I did get out and met up with my granddaughter and spent a bit of time with her - she's a night hawk so when I am sleeping she's awake - no idea who she got it from ... I texted her when I was closer to her area and she never answered till an hour later then said, just woke up lol - then she went and got her lunch at McDonald's I guess she forgot I was treating her. We went to Michaels to look for some envelope for over sized cards I had but they wanted 17.00 for 50 and I only needed 5 - was not gonna buy 50 when not needed. Came home, put groceries away and now chillin' before I go make dinner,not sure what it will be.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - floor washing yesterday was the perfect day heat wise, today not so much. I have small floors lol the wood floors get done different. I can come do yours maybe next year lol Tomorrow is suppose to be even hotter, so I best get the rest of the shopping done, first thing in the morning or I'll be a wilted Sister for the meeting LOL Not doing cart at this time, we will see how things go. Today was the first day my thigh went numb in a while, but I had been standing too long.
@Kurtize, very cute - yes I remember playing dress up at that age, maybe a little older, I remember being a flamingo dancer, no idea where I got that from LOL
@Patti241 hello hello
@cormierannie did you pick out new glasses, what kind do you want ? I need to get my eyes checked too.
@CSequin2 glad you got your rain, it's needed here and rain will come next week when I need to be out, I am SURE of it LOL Is it Harrow Fair time? I have not been since a young teenager. My family. the Pelans, is big on the fair and have lots of entries for things, like baked goods, roses, etc ... even my nephews and niece get in on it ... nice to see them get ribbons for their efforts eh!
Well I better go see about my dinner, poor Amigo is not eating, just laying around sleeping - I think he be missing someone.

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

I'm so happy to be here, as we get close to finishing the Summer challenge. It was my first 5% challenge and I will definitely be a long time participant in these challenges! They have been a massive game changer for me.

Two weeks ago to the day, my husband and I had to quickly adopt a low carb lifestyle for his health and we have adjusted very well! The first 4 days were the hardest, the headaches, the fatigue, the cravings, and overall just feeling yuck. By day 5, our energy skyrocketed and it felt like a fog was lifted!

Temptations have not been an issue because we are full, and what's crazy is that we are staying at or right under our caloric limit each day too. We are trying to balance it all with plenty of healthy fats and not relying on pure animal fats and proteins. It's a learning curve!

@lindmaep I laughed when you talked about the bed height. My aunt needs my uncle to hoist her up and when he was in hospital she needed a stool too
@Dianedoessmiles1 indeed shop around for everything. Time I took my mobile price checker (mum) round all the local food stores for a memory chip update. She can always tell you where the cheapest whatever you want is to be had
@CSEGUIN2 planning is a dawdle. Getting it all done, well there’s a conundrum
@Kurtize i needed that push your picture gave me.
Anyone I’ve missed, sorry.
Have a good Tuesday

Is there a place to go to find out more about how the challenge works? I participated a couple times on SP but it was a long time ago. Thank you!

(Thanks for the heads-up @RondaCee )

good afternoon everyone! i got to pick out my new glasses and they will be ready for me to pick up between 7 to 10 business days. it is a mostly cloudy day here today, with rain on and off this afternoon. my daughter says hi to all! both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i have been for a walk and i feel great! i will be doing some dancing later on. i also helped one of my friends move some of here stuff to her new place today. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.

Happy Tuesday, we got rain(much needed). Went shopping, Don got a lawn mower and trimmer, got my windchimes and we got a cute donkey for our yard. When Don is done fixing the side of the yard I will show you the picture. Have a great evening, hugs and blessings. Darn internet is acting up though.

THANKS!!!

I also did a blog tonight: https://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Dianedoessmiles1?month=202208

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well. It is hump day today. Half way through the week. It is great. I am super excited. I have to work the resource center tomorrow and then I have to go for set up for my son's birthday party on Friday after work. Then this week I am again busy except for Saturday. Saturday I am free but Sunday and Monday we are busy. So that is a whole new thing. So glad we have Monday off next week due to the holiday.

@cormierannie - Hopefully your get your glasses in that time frame. Mine was more like 14 days. It wasn't a big deal but it was at the same time.
@LindieMaeP - I love DND. I am just not currently playing right now. My doctor appointment went well. They are sending me for an ultrasound to check some things in the female area. But she was happy with my weight loss.
@Kurtize - It is ok that the internet is acting up. It will sort itself out. Rain is always needed. It seems we never get enough of it.
@CSEGUIN2 - Have fun at your destination. I see you went prepared for exercise. I am sorry you had a gain.
@cosmiccurves - Cauliflower dip sounds amazing. My appt went well. I was down a bit from last month. It was good. I have always enjoyed naps when I can get them. Not very often though.

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

Tabatha

Happy Hump Day to everyone !! It's another hot one here today - oh boy will fall come soon enough ? No doubt it will come with an over abundance of rain as well, I"ll take it, I got the specs for Noah's Ark and I can build it if needed, but no shovelling that fluffy white stuff that @Dianedoessmiles1 adores, not gonna happen!!
@Patti241 good morning to you as well
@Tabatha_Cain glad your dr's appt went well and they are checking out "female things" we do need that from time to time. Yes my granddaughter Charise loves DND as well as other mystic type games and movies and such. Not my thing. She recently created or is creating a board game based on Greek Mythology- not my thing either but at least she is not into drugs and crap like that so I wont' complain, I just won't participate, there are other things we can do. Hope your day went well.
@cosmiccurves oh the mushrooms and onions!! They go in almost everything, but after thinking about your question I realised there are just some foods I do not pair them with - fried chicken, turkey, usually it is red meats like beef pork but not lamb oddly enough - I sometimes post my meals on the feed - as I did breakfast today - an eggwhite omlet with onion, mushrooms, bacon bits, spinach on a bed of green lettuce with avocado ranch dressing. I also had blueberry, cinamon, blueberry, flax seed with my 0 fat yogurt. I do 0 fat for most dairy so I can have the healthier fats like avocado oil, which has a higher cooking capability then other oils, but also olive oil. Oils for me must be cold pressed, it gives the best of the product. Same with flax seeds, they must be cold pressed too - cold presses do not heat up when crushing/ processing so I look for that. Is it Carbonaut that you get at Costco? I can get that at Safeway but I have not seen another low carb bread out of a freezer ! I can't help with foods for sports activities, as I do not do sports, gave them up a long time ago when I realised they were causing me too much anxiety especially figure skating, oh what a fan I was and hockey night in Canada - well ... not in my house lol I hope you do find some good recipies you can enjoy.
@Dianedoessmiles1 I read your blog - and said a specific prayer for you last night. Have you thought of other antihistamines, like Reactine? Ask your doctor or pharmacists for a non drowsy one. I have Reactine for my alergies but I use Benedryl spray for skeeter/wingless wasp bites - yup still have the critters, time to get tough with them. BORAX!! I have to remember to pick some up today and sprinkle my drawers. It dehydrates anything that crunches when you step on it, similar to the "etable dirt" you can get at pet food stores. How is Izzy doing ? Amigo is almost back to his old self !
@CSEGUIN2 - Enjoy the Fair, my neice Sarah has a few paint entries this year but they are away camping through out Ontario so not sure any of the others will be entering. I am sure the fairgrounds will give you good oportunity to walk around the exterior as I recall it being very huge - and take the time to swing on a swing eh !!
@Kurtize I sure wish we had rain, but no doubt we will get it when Fall does roll around, and no doubt a good40 days of it too lol Hope your internet issues were resolved.
@everyone, have a wonderful day - cheers, Linda

Good afternoon, happy mid week. Don worked on the side yard, its looking great, just need to get some plants. Today is nice in low 90's. More raining is supposed to come in the next week, which is good we need it.
