I've been lovin' my nature walks before connecting with my walking group at the pavillion. We finally remembered to bring feed-mill peanuts to share with about two dozen chipmunks. Such fun!
May you find joy as you prepare your plan to make this challenge a successful one. Hug, hug!12 -

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend, and enjoying what ever activities you have planned. It was a quiet day here today, tomorrow Gene will leave with his cousin and Aunt to go camping for a couple of days - he's been so stoked by it, he's been shopping, planning, shopping, loading the car and all for a 2 hour drive, lol well at least it is not a 2 hour tour eh ? I might get energetic while he is gone and do some well needed cleaning/organizing/turfing, we will see how the joints feel. The hips are not cooperating this weekend, maybe too much wheat products. ... Amigo will be here to help me, and maybe even stay in his tree or on my bed out of the way. He's curled up in a ball now. He's so funny, when he gets on the bed, he comes to the corner closest to the desk and meows till I turn around and go pet him.
He does not like the camera but I get him when I say his name and he looks. His original name was Cilantro but he does not answer to that name. He'll be on my bed till bedtime and treats will be his reward for getting off.
I tried making some 4 ingredient cookies this afternoon but the batter was not cooking well in the middle of the cookie, I think too much banana and maybe the baking powder lost it's touch as it was expired in '21 - only used 1/2 tsp. I like the recipe I will try it again another time.
I have been researching for a new mattrice for my bed - I have a Kingsdown Chanel, twin but it is a height of 14 inches and I need one not so high - I looked at Saatva - its all foam but suppose to be environmentally friendly, anyone hear of them or tried them? I can get another Kingsdown, but thought I would look around. I also thought of taking the bed off the frame that would be maybe 3-4 inches different in height. I thought of a stool, sure one more thing to trip over besides my slippers for the night potty run.. na... I'll keep looking and planning.
Last night I went to Fraser River Park and stayed till the skeeters came out then my friend and I headed home, it's so peaceful there, even with all the dogs and they always want to slobber on me yuk ... oh well.. lol There's a couple of black berry bushes and my friend picked some and said they were really good. A couple of weeks ago when the Pine trees were dripping their sap, she tried it and said it was very sweet, she tries things out in the parks all the time. Some roses leave a bud you can eat too, but I am not that adventurous !!
Can you hear the surf in that one picture? That boat went by and the surf it left was awesome, we both enjoyed just listening to it. Then the skeeters started hitting so we knew it was time to go.
I need to go report my numbers for today. Have a great morning tomorrow as some of you will be up before me !!

@Lindiemaep ,,, its not a cheap bed, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE my sleep number bed. I love it set on 45 so it's quite soft, a friend stayed over (LOL I am so mean! I KNEW She hated a soft mattress. She came into the place, went over the bed, touched and declared "I CAN NOT SLEEP ON THAT!! Than I put it up to 100 and "NOW THAT"S PERFECT! For her, yeah, HARD as a ROCK!! The rock might even be more giving. If you want a foundation that goes up and down (I DO NOW WANT ONE!) I'd suggest getting one from a different place, just because they charge so much, and even with the money there, WHY DO THAT??? My Dad told us years ago "SHOP around! ALWAYS SHOP AROUND." He was right of course.4

Good Evening Everyone!
Today is hot, humid and rainy on and off. Completed all planned workouts except my morning walk as it was raining and to windy for an umbrella. Working on trying to get everything done and ready for tomorrow. I think I procrastinated a little to long. Oh well. Have been struggling with calories this week so not sure about my weigh-in at TOPS tomorrow. Just glad I get to go. I know how hard I have tried and how hard I have worked out. Not having the best dinner tonight but will at least be in range as long as I stick to the plan.1 -
@Cormierannie ,,, Nice day. WOOHOO new glasses are always fun!! WTG!!
@Cseguin2 ,,, OH I WANT THIS HEAT GONE!! It's not interested though in leaving nearly as fast as I WANT! LOL give me a few low 70s and high 60s,, ahhh with at night from the high 40s to 50s. I am GOOD with that! It'll come. Hope everything goes well tomorrow. Wishing you well at TOPS. I'm waiting for the challenge to be over, and than on that following Thurs we are going to the Clambake!! YUMMY PLACE!! It'll be easier when the kids are in school since that place in the heat of tourist season is CRAZY AS CAN BE!!2 -
Happy new week.

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.

@Kurtize ,, such a CUTE PICTURE with a very good message!! TY TY TY!!
@Lindiemaep ,,, Ohhh Linda, we KNOW I do NOT like the heat, and yet the weather DOES NOT CARE!! Yo no doubt this year will be in the top 5 hottest on record. AARRGGHHHHH I've served summer with an EVICTION notice, but it does not care. LOLOL!! What did you eat? Awww Amigo so sorry Bud, they left you? ALL alone??? Are you old enough to be alone? Scratch behind the ear!2 -
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!

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. I for the life of me thought I had switched groups already and I was still posting in last group chat. Well then I saw I was not thanks to @Dianedoessmiles1 . Today I had a doctors appointment for my weight and stuff. I am really excited to see her and show her how much weight I have lost. I feel so much better about things now and I am starting to not get self conscious about my stomach. It is a work in progress but I am getting better.
@LindieMaeP - I am sure she forgot you were taking her for lunch. It was nice to see her anyways right? Do you get to spend a lot of time with her?
@cosmiccurves - These challenges are great. I love the 5% challenges. I do low carb if I can. I am not super strict on it.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day.

@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 Tuesday3 -
Good morning everyone. Up a little early today.3
