Hi everyone. During my workout this morning I was thinking I need to set some formal goals again. I didn’t set new ones for my post-holiday portion of the month and I know it’s near the end now but I feel like I’m drifting a bit and resting in my comfort zone. Definitely need to bring water back into focus and maybe some strength again. Went for one jog this week which was pretty good but I was super distracted and had to stop after 15mins. Need to find a better location with reliable footing. At least it’s an opportunity to explore tracks and parks 😊.

@katmary71 do you have an actual garden at your place or do you do container gardening? Either way I am a little jealous :-).
I don’t know how you were able to get work done at Trader Joe’s, I would be so distracted with everything going on there🤪. Sounds like you have a super busy day planned for tomorrow, I hope your nephew is feeling better.

&davidji82 & @Cornanda congratulations on the losses this week!

@trooworld i’m afraid I cannot handle really spicy food, that soup would have probably been too much for me LOL. Sorry about your review today, those are tough when the person doing it doesn’t really know you.

@Tamevv I’m glad you were at least able to get outside and enjoy the outdoors!

Grandkids didn’t come over tonight for the first Friday in a very long time, so it was a very quiet Friday for me. The wind is still pretty chilly so we didn’t get any really long walks in, but I did get some organizing done etc. I was able to stay on track as far as food went, got in my 10,000 steps but didn’t do anything too strenuous at all today.

@Tamevv congrats on making your goal. I'm glad you got through the break down.

@laurelfit57 I live in Bremerton, Wa, just a ferry ride to Seattle. Or as we like to say, a jump across the pond.

Oh boy y'all, We finally got some rain and it has washed the smoke away. I sat outside for a bit and just listened to it. I was so darn happy. Lol, it's the little things 🤣 😅 when we get some sun I'll be taking my best buddy out.

My antibiotics are gone and I'm starting to feel better. Now, I think my stomach will handle me working on my goals.

Tomorrow is one of my grand beauties birthday party and afterwards is my oldest grand cuties football game. It's also "Senior" night. It's going to be a fun busy day!!

Sunday was going to be a relaxation day but my daughter invited me to go to a miracle farm with her and her two youngest kids. So, I'm going on ahay ride and play in the hay maze and pet animals and stuff. I can't wait. I'll take some pictures for y'all.

@laurelfit57 I have a garden but it's mostly in containers. I didn't work AT Trader Joe's (I'd go ham on the dark chocolate peanut butter cups if I did it there because I'd be stressed out in the crowd!) but went to Tjs then came home and worked, sorry for the confusion. If the grandkids didn't come did you spend the morning with Vannie's human soul sister?

@DrewsAnna So glad the smoke is gone there! I was going to ask where you are too, it reminded me of the smoke here but it's currently clear, I didn't realize Washington was so smoky right now. I have family around the Seattle area but haven't been there this year. Glad the antibiotics are over, those things can do a number on us. The miracle farm sounds like a blast as done your Saturday fun, have a wonderful time!

@trooworld Oh my gosh, a Pug-O-Ween would be awesome, I hope you share pictures! What's Daisy going as?

Hi team! I'm currently on a “date”, Bill and I are watching the same stuff on Netflix but I've seen the movie before so I'm sneaking and coming on here. Tomorrow's our “official” weekend date but since my family plans fell through (nephew's sick) we decided to finish a show we've been watching, Archive 81. Went to the farm this morning and worked on basil then came home and went to the HOA meeting which was just under 3-and-a-half hours, geez! I came home and got basil seeds for one of my neighbors and gave away a few bags of basil to them since I brought some home and didn't really need it. Have a cool Japanese pumpkin from the farm to try soon called a Futsu, not sure what I'll do with it yet though. Tomorrow I hope to get a lot done in the yard then Bill and I are making the same recipe but at separate homes (skinnytaste enchilada meatloaf): https://www.skinnytaste.com/enchilada-turkey-meatloaf/ . Gotta keep this long-distance thing interesting, right? I have a friend on here who does weekend challenges and I had to do something new, a friend sent me a country dance video which was entertaining and checked the box. Nothing else going on. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Halloween goals
Meditate- done
Stretch slower- done
Weights- back to arms 4 sets but legs I stay around 3

@trooworld - Definitely need pictures of Pug O'Ween!

@bethanie0825 Woo hoo, Bethanie! Way to go!!!

@askewcr Congrats on the loss!

@leti126 @digger61 Way to stay steady!

@Katmary71 It was so fun! I forgot to take pictures darnit but we will probably go to the Christmas party so I'll make sure to take pictures there, there will be a pug ugly sweater contest! Daisy went as a bee! She was the cutest and only bee there! My friend and I do watch parties on Amazon where we watch the same movie and chat via the Amazon interface. It's fun! Oh my gosh, 3 1/2 hrs noooooo! I am on our HOA board and I would not be if the meetings were that long. That's ridiculous! How far away does Bill live from you? I hope your meatloaf comes out well. Sounds yummy.

@Cornanda I'm afraid I failed you, I forgot to take pictures!

@TeresaW1020 I will post a pic of her in her costume, I may have posted it already, I'm not sure! I'm so glad you had a great time on your trip. I've been thinking of you and Joe.

Hi all. Pug-O-Ween was a lot of fun. It was my idea of heaven, all the pugs running around chasing each other with their tongues hanging out! I got to pet a lot of pugs. Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures. Sorry about that, I will take some at the Christmas pug party. I helped with set up and that was very physical and I helped some with takedown but mostly, I had to hold onto Daisy because she didn't like being in the pug pen.

My Halloween Challenge goals report for yesterday:
1) track 90% of what I eat every day - ✔
2) drink 50 oz of water each day - ❌

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

Ugh… sorry I didn’t hit post on this 😫

@katmary71 do you have an actual garden at your place or do you do container gardening? Either way I am a little jealous :-).

I'm not sure what happened. I tried being more active. I watched what I ate. Counted calories and bam gain 11pounds in a week. 279-290. I'm at a loss. I really need to rethink things yet again.
