Good Evening Everyone!
Thank you for your support!
Today started out like fall, then turned to summer by the afternoon. Had to turn the air back on. Supposed to see temps in the 30°C range this weekend. Today got all planned workouts done. Feel so much better that I did them. Now to win the battle tomorrow. Also did laundry and got the dishes all caught up. This afternoon played 3 games of Skipbo with Hubby. Also started back on my school work again finally. For those that don't know I am taking fitness and nutrition through online. The biggest lesson I learned is not take a long break from school work in the middle of a chapter.1 -
@kayhryngc, no the fall challenge hasn't started yet, think they will be mailing out invites around the 17th.
Hi all hope your day is going well. I turned 80 today, don't feel 80. Not doing anything special. Just hanging around the house with hubby, which is nice.
Have a great evening. hugs.7 -
HI All! SORRY I am sick, I'll be back when I feel better. We are getting closer to the Starting time!! Have you invited anyone who's not with us to the team? YEAH YEAH YEAH!3

Good Evening Everyone!
@Kurtize Happy Birthday!
Today has been a beautiful fall day. Love being able to wear a hoodie with shorts 🤣 in the morning till I get to warm. All planned workouts done! 2 day streak. Also did laundry, dishes and played 2 games of Skipbo. Also got a little more studying done. Seem to be slipping into my fall/winter routine. But time will tell. I just pray that it sticks. I have figured out a few other things. Music is key to me working out and planning my day of meals the day ahead keeps me on track.2 -
Good evening all, thanks for the birthday wishes. DIANE hope you feel better soon 💕.
We got our flu shot today. It's warm again.
Have a great evening and a wonderful day tomorrow 😀2 -

Good morning everyone!!
Thank you all for the kind words! We have been enjoying our new routine with walking in the morning before school and it's made a big difference for both of us!
I wanted to post that low carb pumpkin spice recipe, here it is!!
LOW CARB PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE
Makes 4 servings:
3 Cups (720mL) Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 oz. (30mL) Heavy Cream
A heaping ⅓ Cup (95g) Pure Pumpkin Purée
Just less than a ½ Cup (60-70g)Sweetener of choice (I use Whole Earth Erythritol & Monk Fruit)
1 Tsp. (4g) Pure Vanilla Extract
½ Tsp. Pumpkin Spice
Pinch of Salt
4 Shots (120mL) Brewed Espresso or Coffee
INSTRUCTIONS
Add all of the ingredients - except for the espresso - to a blender, and blend until well combined.
Once combined, add the pumpkin mixture to a small pot, and bring to a boil - whisking the mixture occasionally as it heats.
Reduce the heat to low, and brew the espresso.
Add 6 oz. (170mL) of the pumpkin spice mixture to a coffee cup & use a frother to create a good amount of foam in the cup
Pour 1 shot of espresso, and mix.
Top with whipped cream, and more pumpkin spice, and serve.
Store leftovers in a sealable jar in the fridge for several weeks.
It's so good y'all!! I am making more after I go to the grocery store today and get some more almond milk. I cannot wait to experiment with other flavors in this recipe as well!5 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all having a good morning. Only 1 more day and my son will be 18. Wow time flies. I am excited and nervous for him and he is worried. He doesn't want to be an adult yet. I explained that it would take time and that we will discuss thing as they happen so he can be prepared about it. So we will see how it goes.
@Kurtize - Happy Birthday. I hope you had a good day.
@cormierannie - How many birds do you have and how long have you had them?
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I hope you feel better soon.
Well it is time to get breakfast going. I hope you all have a great day.

Hi Diane.
Good morning everyone.3 -
@cosmiccurves ,,, YUMMY!!! I can modify this for hot chocolate!! YUMMY!! SUPER YUMMY!
@Tabatha_Cain, ,, you are a very good Mom. Indeed as when we turned 18 we weren't "adults" per say. It took us time to take on new things. As a baby he wasn't expected to walk, slowly he began to notice his arms, his legs, to play with them. Eventually he rolled over, etc. That's how I explained to my GD ,, "hon slowly you'll become one and when you do, want to please let me know how to be?" She laughed, but also realized it doesn't mean she'd not make mistakes, we all do daily. You are such a good Mom, he's fortunate to have you. ENJOY the weekend. TY TY TY for the well wishes. It may be a weird type of cold/flu, but likely covid. I was exposed over the weekend we had a huge BBQ. A woman came , stayed the whole time. On Friday she had said she had a cold, (texted) but another resident who had covid a month before told her "its probably covid, you sound like it's covid" but the woman choose to IGNORE THAT!! She tested positive on Monday AM. She was telling everyone (its a high rise with 92 units) "OH I have covid, but I feel better than if I had a cold." YES YOU FOOL YOU ARE A SUPER SPREADER!! I started with symptoms on Tuesday night. Thankfully that night I had not gone to a meeting I normally attend in person, I did it on zoom on Sunday I had done zoom also. We'll go from here.
@Patti241 ,, HI Patti!! Its nice and cool here now its 65 we have no more 80s in the forecast THANKFULLY!! Our highest in the forecast is 75 WOOHOO most of the forecast is in the 60s with night time lows are in the high 50s. I am so much happier with this!
@Macrat12 how are you?3 -
Looking forward to fall challenge 🍁😊 I am totally enjoying the interim challenge time & getting to chat with teammates from other teams. Thanks for this new addition Leaders!!

@Dianedoessmiles1 I sure hope you feel better within time, and I sure hope your DR is ontop of this too. When I had covid, it started on a Wednesday night. Natasha and I were at the little park until about 10 up until then I felt fine, walked into my apartment and realised I had a soar throat. Took my night meds and went to bed. Woke up the next morning with what felt like sinus issues, but also a bit of a fever, and sores in my mouth and on my lips, fever blisters? salt blisters? My nose dripped like I had never experienced before so klenex was my next best friend. Aches and pains, and night sweats like I had never experienced before. By Tuesday the sweats were done, the throat was fine, BUT my ears hurt, even to put earrings on ! That continued for some time and by day 10 the nose calmed down but the mouth sores were still there. I used listern to clean my tooth brush and I also used Oral B Mouth Sore - rinced as often as I could and put some on my lips, they are only just now getting back to feeling like they are my lips and not something covered in netting. Natasha never came down with Covid, but GEne, my son, did. He had just has his booster 2 days before and then tested positive so that is when I tested and it was positive. However, I already assumed it was covid and did not go out unless necessary. I think we all experience different things with this covid. It also left me tired, very tired for some time. My arms felt like heavy weights I could barely carry going to Safeway when I was safe to do so. I have slowly gotten my energy back, the lips are almost back to normal. Keep track of your symptoms and if you have to write them down. I did tell my DR later, and he laughed when I said my ears hurt just to put my earrings in, I think it surprised him as a symptom not considered with covid. I still need 1 more booster but am debating that as many who got it also got sick! Not in the market for being sick at any time !
@HealthyBarb1 I think its' really nice to interact with others that we barely get to interact with unless we are friends with them outside the 5% challenge. For the Fall Challenge I am moving over to another team, and I look forward to interacting with them.
@Tabatha_Cain have you heard anything yet about your test ? I hope it rules some thing out of the running so to speak.
Ok I have blabbered enough, time to get ready for volunteering I do, have a good one all.1 -
Good afternoon, happy Friday and weekend.
Today's affirmation: I have ready access to a power beyond my wildest imagination.

@Healthybarb1 the chat is WILD, but so much FUN!! We love having you with us!! TY TY TY for doing so!
@Lindiemaep ,,,ITs such a STRANGE illness!! No one is getting the same symptoms, but quite a few in common. It seems that the way to know it's likely Covid (not fast set rule here of course) is if your symptoms do not fit a regular cold, or the flu, it's likely Covid. Since I was exposed I am quite sure this is it, though it's still only been almost 3 days, and early to have a positive test though my Dr had insisted so we could go from there. UGH on your lips, that just sounds so PAINFUL!! SO PAINFUL!!! A friend did my shopping, but we were so super careful!! For her to use my card, it meant disinfecting it (easy) before I did that I triple masked, and wore gloves after first using hand sanitizer. I tried instacart, but my poor brain wasn't working and I didn't do it right. I have NO CLUE how those who live alone get things done, if they can't afford something like instacart or if they do not have anyone to help them. Glad you are feeling better. We WILL MISS You on the PS4L team, but another team WILL love having you with them. Especially since on Sparks you were with many of them. That's so neat!! You'll all be a dancing!
@Kurtize,, enjoy the weekend. May it be so nice out for you!!

Good Evening Everyone!
Thoughts, prayers and hugs to those who need them.
I am also enjoying the new version of the in-between challenge. Even if the chat can be a little overwhelming at times.
Summer is back😆. Today was a great day! Got all planned workouts done with a little extra walk to the bank and a couple of stores. Groceries can get heavy if you buy carrots, onions, and squash among a few other heavy things. Started rereading the chapter I am on so I can remember the info. Can't write an exam otherwise. Tomorrow's plan is study, walk, exercise, then get ready for a birthday party.1 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
Today is a good day. My son is 18 today. I am so proud of him. He is doing so well. I finally changed jobs yesterday. I went to a different insurance agency. I start my new job Wednesday. Only because I have stuff to do on Tuesday and there is no point in going in on Monday only to take a day off and then go Wednesday. I am actively working on getting my Life and Health Insurance License in Michigan. That is going to take some time. My new job is paying for it though. So we will get it done. I think it is going to be great. I will learn a new skill and then I can use it anywhere. I am super excited. I go from selling 16+ companies to selling 3 companies. This I can definitely handle. We don't deal with any rater or anything so this will be really good.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - So sorry you got covid. It irritates me when people are not more aware that they could be spreading the illness. Like stay home if you are sick or wear a mask
@LindieMaeP - My test came back normal. So atleast there are no cysts and my overaries look ok. Still unsure on why my issue is happening. Waiting for a call from the doctor to decide my next move.
@CSEGUIN2 - Summer was back yesterday for a bit and it was nice. Awesome that you got your workouts in. I plan on working out double today. So we will see how that goes.
Well it is time to help my boyfriend get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day

Good Morning Airport Friends:
My son's birthday party went great. We will have cake for days though. I will have to be really careful to only eat a little bit at a time with it. It is in the fridge and we are sending some home with my boyfriend's parents.
@Judy1676 - Hope you are healing well. I am sure you will do great. Walking is a great exercise.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Hope you feel better soon.
Well it is time to get things going for breakfast. I hope you all have a great day.

Good morning everyone2

Happy Sunday and new week.
Tabitha glad your son's party went wen well, happy belated birthday.
Diane hope you feel better and to other team mates under the weather wishing you well.
Friends told us that it cools down in September here in Texas, but this next week summer is back, in the 90s the weatherman forecasts.
Looking forward to the challenge starting but may have to start out slow depending on what the doctor says.

Good afternoon all, hope your day is going well and you are enjoying the activity you have planned to do, or not do .. sometimes planning "not do's" are just as important as planning "to dos" I had a good time this morning out in Volunteering service @Dianedoessmiles1 it was a good day to be out and about. I hope you are doing better and you can come to terms that this might take more then a few days to go away. Some symptoms leave in 5 others in 10 and others longer. But I believe each person endures it differently. Just keep hanging low and taking it easy - you know how you will bounce back but in time.
@Tabatha_Cain hope the yard work goes well. I really appreciate how you address people in the morning and make a list, I am going to do that as well.
@Kurtize I had to start the summer challenge slowly as well. Sadly our recombend bike broke and I no longer had that to fall back on - as riding a recombend is so easy on the joints. I told son today, that piece of nordic junk has to go and I will buy the next one. He's not too happy cause he paid 700.00+ for it and it only lasted maybe 4 years of some riding? The next bike will NOT be attached to Ifit at ALL...
Well my son who has progressive MS went bike riding today and fell - it was at a stop sign and he stoped and he used the wrong leg to balance with and his leg gave out and he scraped his elbow and it was bleeding profusely so I got him bandaged up. He said he was not riding his bike anymore. I suggested he use the driveway here at the apartment building to practise before he goes out again. He also says he almost got his aunt killed - well not really, she never pays attention to traffic, honestly can't do that just cause your on a bike. She seems to think only cars have to obey the rules of the road... I am just glad I was not out with them. Son needs to strengthen his leg ... can't do that sitting and laying around all the time. Hard head soft butt !!!
Have a good day all who are reading ...

Good Evening Everyone!
Yesterday was a great day. Completed all my workouts in the morning. Spent the afternoon and evening at my cousin's 3rd birthday. Hoping to get some photos as I didn't take any. I believe I did better than usual at the party calorie wise.
Today was another great day. Didn't get all planned exercise done as I only had 3 hours of sleep and wanted to save my energy for the 16.8 km bike ride during our open streets event. Also spent time visiting with friends in the afternoon. When I should up at my one friends house she said I have a job starting Wednesday if I want it. So I start my new job on Wednesday afternoon! That's a week earlier than planned.1 -
@Tabatha_Cain ,,, Hope today was so AWESOME you are going through SMILE Monday!!
TY TY TY TY for well wishes!
@Marcrat12 ,, HI Sarah
@Patti241,,, HI Patti ! Hope the day went well!!
@Kurtize ,,, Please let us know how it goes with the Dr. UGH on the 90s!! We are FINALLY mostly in the 60s and even a few high 50's!! OH I AM SO HAPPY!!! YEAH we are getting closer and closer to MY SNOW TIME!!
@Lindiemaep ,, LOVE that you got to out today! That's GREAT!! I am still using caution and I'll call my Drs office tomorrow to ask about this. I am still testing negative,,, LOL AND I AM GOING STIR CRAZY!! Tonight makes 5 days as of 6 PM.
@Cseguin2,, GREAT JOB on not going hog wild at the party!! That's so GREAT!! Hopefully you'll sleep well. How did the bike ride go? WOW BUSY DAY you had!! Hope if you want the job you'll get it.2 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today I am not working. I have not started my new job yet. I start that on Monday and got let go at my other job. Which is fine because this way I can spend my day working on learning as they asked me to get another license for my job which I am trying to get the training for and then I have to pass a state exam.
@Kurtize - Starting out slow is no big deal. Just make sure to let your captain know you are starting out slow.
@LindieMaeP - Thank you. It helps keep me organized and I love being organized. I hope you son is ok. I would also suggest the driveway before going out into traffic. Get some practice in and improve the leg strength.
@CSEGUIN2 - When is/was your 16.8km bike ride? Did we miss it?
Well it is time to get my breakfast going. I hope you all have a great day.
