This 3rd day January is almost done. Our weather (near STL) went up to 68-70 today. I spent hours outside and did work in the woods. Now the weather is dropping and will go down to 37 tonight and gusty winds. South of us are tornadoes and north of us snow. Crazy weather.
Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow.
Word tomorrow is ENTHUSIASM.

Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a rainy, foggy, dark day. It was also TOPS and weigh day. Down 1.25 lbs. That makes 9 lbs in 2 weeks!
I also called the organization that is taking over the kitchen where I work. Hate when the letter didn't give an extension. Will call back tomorrow when I have more time to figure it out. Work went well.1 -
@Novembergail how did you do that picture that was so cool a few days ago? You said you learned a new trick on your phone.
@Cseguin2 ,, certainly hope work works out for you!! (The English language is so strange! LOLOL). If it doesn't hon, you are such a GOOD WORKER and will soon have your certificate there are so many places needing the help. That's a great piece of paper to have!!! You are so valuable. Something WILL work out for you. Perhaps something you've not even thought of working at such and such a type of place. Often times we are surprised by the surprises.
I had the 2 MRI's today, it can be a day or 2 before it hits my portal or I'll get a call from my Dr's office. We'll see!! Other than that I am working on Strength training for 23. On the PS4L team we've chosen "Healthier Me in 23!"3 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are doing well this morning. Today is going to be a good day. I have to go grocery shopping today. That is something that I like doing so that is good. I may have to have my fiance go shopping and then I will work. I have to get some more work going. I need to make more money for the wedding. I am not sure we are going to have enough.
@TEXASTITCHER - Those look so cute. I love them.
@LindieMaeP - I did some laundry yesterday too. I need to do some exercise everyday and I am just not getting there some days. My physical went well. They are sending me for my annual blood work. I did not even think about the blood work when I ate yesterday morning.
@NovemberGail - The weather is crazy. Normal for us though these past couple of years.
@CSEGUIN2 - It was foggy and rainy here too.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I hope everything is ok. 2 MRI's does not sound pleasant. Hopefully it will tell you what is wrong though.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day.

Good morning, it is a nice cool morning today. -12C and still very dark out there. Puppy is busily chewing a toy at my feet. I love how he has decided to be as close to me as possible in the morning after his food.
My plan for the day is almost complete, just waiting for hubby to get up in an hour or so to confirm what the dinner plan is. I have work today and will be out most of the morning. Then I must go get more dog and cat food. Hubby and I also have our last travel vaccine this afternoon. Talk about getting it in last minute.
@bookieNJ Temps area all perspective, this week is mild for winter. This time of year anything from 0 to -15C is on the warm side.
@cormierannie say hi back to the birds
@dmsl977 hope you are feeling better
@NovemberGail up the weather has been weird this year, it's been yoyoing for us, up and down.
@CSEGUIN2 amazing weight loss? what are you doing?
@Dianedoessmiles1 I hope that yu get the results of your MRI's soon.

Hi everyone! Thanks for the positivity. I am feeling better overall. I believe I was just struggling with some Oklahoma allergies. This wind really is something else. I'm still soda free! I've been leaning heavily on my Cirkul water bottle and Crystal Lite. Though the way my work day is going, maybe it should be vodka. JK...sorta

@Tabatha_Cain ,, THANKS!!! I do see the results are in, but they are SUPER WAY over my head. Hopefully you'll have what you need at the wedding (Person to marry you both, witness, loved ones, some food if it's desired) anything else "is a nice add on" but, the most important are each other love for life. Awww SWEET!! It's such a nice love story.
@Majork29 ,,,WOOHOO on that last vaccine being done so you can take off!!! ENJOY!! ENJOY!! Will you be able to post your stats to your team? If you are leaving before Saturday please let your WL and CL (some teams call them baggage handler and Captain instead of Weigh in Leader and Challenge Leader). Likely you'll be asked to weigh in ahead of time (Rarely LOL But, I've seen it, does anyone want to drag their scale with them, but again I've SEEN IT! Though I've not done that!). TY TY TY TY for the well wishes!
@Patti241,, HI Patti!! How did the day go?
@Hicim705 and @SunshineFlgirl,,, OH you 2 will have SO MUCH FUN being on the same team!!
@Cormierannie,,, WOOHOO on the exercise. Hey if you get BORED or do not have enough housework I am SURE someone here will "allow" you to do theirs!! LOL Mine is caught up nicely though a little bit more decluttering to do until I am down to the barely enough. I'll LOVE THAT!
@BookieNJ ,,, HI!! Love seeing you with us!! Any good books lately?
@Dms1977 ,,, Have you tried a netti pot for your allergies? I am allergic to ,,, hmmm MY SWEET KITTY CAT!! I had thought it was grass or trees, but Noooo LOL It's SWEET IZZY!! of course I am KEEPING HER!! And likely getting another too. I do of course notice the allergy, but if I at someone else house and they have a cat, LOL I notice it that much more. With a netti pot the first few times I did it OUCHERS MEGA TIME!! But it got easier as my sinuses got cleaned out. GREAT JOB on being soda FREE!! AND drinking water!! I too drank Crystal light ,, eventually I went to regular water. At this point I have gone back to diet soda the bubbles help me swallow food easier without choking. NICE JOB INDEED!!
Now that this is caught up as is the chat on Positively Strong 4 Life (I am the CL/Captain) there, I'm going to use the time to get in some necessary Exercise!!2 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a busy, foggy, rainy day with a hint of sun in the late afternoon. Got up at 6 am to take the garbage out for pickup for my client and ourselves. Also did a few things online then went back to bed till 9 am. Went to the clinic and got antibiotics for my tooth and also had the doctor check my wrist. My wrist is healing really well but have to keep it wrapped at work until my last day. Yes it is my last day on the 15th. Found out from the girl I work with during the week that part of the deal for the organization to get the contract was that they couldn't hire the original staff to work there. Whatever....I can still apply with the organization to work in another one of their kitchens if I choose. So I have decided that I will continue to pray and look into all my other options of opportunities. During work we had an incident with a resident. He seemed fine when I served him but based on what he said my pulled pork was nasty and caused him to slam his dishes and break 2 plastic glasses. Later on he tried to come back in and apologize I cut him short and told him I didn't want to hear it tonight and would be better off trying tomorrow. This is not the first time he disrespected me or our dishes. He was told last time that if he ever did it again he would not be let off the hook so easily and wouldn't be welcome in the dinning room. Unfortunately I am a kind heart and by tomorrow I will accept his apology and I will let him in the dinning room. Afterall it's their home and they may be stressed knowing that things are going to be changing soon.
Here's me on my walk today. I talked myself into going and enjoyed every minute of it.
My weight loss is from less eating lol and having infections. When your mouth hurts from a cavity your waiting to have filled it definitely helps you not eat. Plus a lot of the weight loss the other week was most likely water.

Here is a story of my experience in Colorado skiing. I am old enough to be not AS embarrassed and can share this.
So we are in CO and invited to go skiing ~
I decided not to take the skiing instruction because I had done skiing in my backyard (HA). Little did I know that their bunny hill required that I go up on a ski lift. I freaked out and couldn't get off the ski lift and begged them to let me ride the lift down. HORRIBLE. Finally I shimmied off and then panicked. Now the real test was getting down the bunny hill. After totally embarrassing my friend, I took off down the hill, totally out of control and couldn't snowplow and stopped myself by sliding down on my butt. No one was injured. After that I found a quiet place outside, picked up a book and began to read. Later when our group headed back to the house, my face began to blister. Worst sunburn I ever had. Are you sure you want me on a ski trip in Colorado?
Billie news: As I am cleaning a cottage, that little imp managed to dig another hole towards China. Some people fill in potholes; I fill in Billie holes.
@Dianedoessmiles1: The iPhone has an app in the camera that says Pano for panorama. (I finally got that figured out.). You click it on and then move in about a 160 degree angle and presto! the photo is ready.
Rather than leaving a comment on everyone's post, I am just going to say a prayer for your intentions tonight.
Words for tomorrow: Harmony and Gratitude

@Cseguin2 ,,, So sorry about the clause about working where you are, that's usually a condition though in a contract and isn't at all unusual though it doesn't seem fair looking at it from this angle. I have NO DOUBT though as you apply at other places someone will so HAPPILY grab you up quickly!! Workers are hard to come by, but very good workers like yourself well that's getting to be a rarity!! I know I'd hire you a HEART BEAT!! SO SORRY about your tooth!! Grrr that they make dentists so hard to see unless you are a regular (And that takes time). I hope the med does help. We can all relate from having a "toothache" somewhat because what you are going through is worse.
Know we care. It'll all work out in the end at this point it's a rough but you are tough! Even when we are tough we are also soft, you are being very kind tomorrow. I know I'd make him have a meal out of the dining hall unless rewarding his behavior that way he'd take as a WIN. It's different no doubt per client. You know what's best. It shows your character, indeed whoever hires you next is getting a TRUE GEM! GOLD!2 -
Good evening everyone, was a nice day today even got out for a nice little walk and came back and did some mushrooms for freezing - it's so much better then letting them go in the fridge lol I like that I have frozen ones I can use. No major cooking today, maybe tomorrow I have another spaghetti squash, much larger then the last one so should make a good layered baked dish, decided on the sauce, alfredo or mushroom.. well I do love mushrooms !!
@Dianedoessmiles1 I hope you get your results soon. We found out when the RC is and will be Jun 30/23 - JUL 2/23 = so long weekend that weekend. Looking forward to it, want to get a hair do and new dress maybe. I looked at Penningtons, man nothing there I would want to buy, so disappointing, but it's ok I have other choices - and options.
@Tabatha_Cain hope you can get your blood work in ok. And you can make some money for your wedding, watch how the time just flys by eh !!
@Majork29 hope your vaccines went ok and you have little side effects.
@CSEGUIN2 I am not surprised the resident acted out - no doubt they feel the stress that the staff is feeling and that would affect them. Not surprised that the contract included not hiring the current staff, that requirement safeguards all so that there is no conflict with old and new and perhaps the new contractor does have other kitchens you can work in. Where did you take your walk ? Is that the Detroit River area?
@everyone, have a good evening and continue with your plans for the start of the 5% Winter challenge, I know I have my plans in place !! I will continue with the Dash diet and make sure my fiber meets the daily amount i need. It should be ok.

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is going to be a good day. We have a lot of things to get done. I feel a little better this morning and I am working on getting some money for the wedding. I need to take some photos of some stuff and get some stuff sold. I literally don't need all these things I am selling for the wedding and it is good that someone is getting a use for them. I am really trying to sell this manual treadmill I have but for some reason a lot of people don't realize manual means not electrical. That there is no plug in and you have to make it go. How do people not know that. If they google manual treadmill they would know it isn't powered by electricity.
@majork29 - It is nice when the puppy chooses you to be the best bud in the morning. I have one of my dogs that cuddles up to me when we are sitting at the computer.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I hope we have everything. I am trying so hard to get everything done.
@CSEGUIN2 - You are so nice. I am sure they are just as frustrated as you are at the change over.
@NovemberGail - That sounds horrible. Not sure I would ever want to go skiing. My fiance likes to ski. So maybe we will end up going.
@LindieMaeP - Nice that you got a walk in. I need to get some walking in. Although it is dark outside in the morning and not a good idea to walk in the dark in my neighborhood. I am doing my blood work on Saturday
Well it is time to get some food. I hope you all have a great and wonderful day.

Good morning all and Happy Thursday! Yesterday wasn’t too productive and today I will be in the car for 7.5 hours but going to my happy place - the beach. I love to walk when I go to the beach so I will make up for the last couple days. Wishing ever a happy day.3

Good morning, My arm is killing me from that vaccine yesterday. Of course I had 2 of them, the one that they warned me may hurt doesn't, the one they said said shouldn't be a problem at all feels like it has been in a fight.... Glad that I don't have a lot of work today.3

Good morning everyone.
Diane: Yesterday I had a good day.3 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 Thanks for advice. I am still hoping that the holidays are a lesson learned. You can't go wild (though I read the Thanksgiving manifesto every day). There is truth in the old adage "A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips". I am just so disappointed in gaining back so much over a month. Thankfully with practice week, I am already down 5.5lbs. Maybe by Saturday's weigh in, I won't be so embarrassed!3 -
Good morning all!
I hope everyone's Thursdays are being kind. I am having a good day thus far. Still soda free! I'm looking forward to getting a dance workout in after work today. I've been focusing on my water intake so far this week and only getting a minimal amount of exercise in. Upping my activity levels is my next big self challenge. I did find out yesterday that the new gym I signed up for opens on the 26th. I'm really excited for that. I miss the camaraderie of classes.4 -
good morning everyone! it is a mostly cloudy day here today. my daughter says hi to everyone! she is working at her part time job today. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i went for a short run earlier this morning and i really enjoyed it. i went for a walk a while ago to drop off some extra clothes to the clothing drop box that is near my place. i will be doing some dancing later on. i will be meeting up with a friend of mine for lunch today. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.2

Morning Everyone,
I dropped CJ off home, since it is the last day of temps in the high 50's for us I cleaned my car out which desperately needed it then tackled the patio. I even chased down the trash truck pulling my neighbor's wheeled can with the plastic bags that got wet in one of my cans that I wanted to get rid of for so long. It was fun. I brought everything in and my back said YOU DID A NO NO!!!! Took my shower, back meds, cooked breakfast which I brought to bed to eat. My back right now is still spasming greatly and hurting. I'm upset because the back is putting a stop to my house cleaning plans.!!!!!!! Hopefully I will be able to do cleaning tomorrow. One good thing this is my only work 3rd weekend so I can do some work Saturday when I get home before 2pm bedtime and Sunday as much as I want to do. I just hope I have the same CLEAN frame of mind.
OK going to finish countdown threads
TTYL
I thought I was cuckoo with posting but there are 2 threads the lounge and my team page glad I figured it out

@Lindiemaep,,, Glad you got the mushrooms done. I did get the results in , but LOL I have no real clue as to what they mean. Its so confusing of course, so I'll wait for a call at some point. I can go into the portal and think I will in a bit, but until the neurosurgeon sees them, which is usually in 24 to 48 hours (so hopefully by tomorrow or Monday). Ehhhh it's the way it is. WOOHOO on the RC!! Ours is May 26 to the 28th in Portland. EASY TO GET TO that's for sure!!! LOL I can see the civic center from where I live, now if I SWIM across the harbor!! LOL nah there's a bridge. Where is ours at? Is it easy for you to get to? I actually get my dresses off I had gotten a few skirts for the 2021 RC "just in case" I do have them.
@Tabatha_Cain ,,, LOL People are amusing!! You'll have to spell it out, and if you dress up the words it'll go so fast!! "This treadmill is powered by YOU so you get more of workout! Its safer because when you stop it does also. No burns if a mishaps occurs. This can be used at any time since it's quieter. It's smaller for those spaces we have. PLUS when the electricity goes out, you can get a good workout to make ALL of your friends jealous! WHO NEEDS A GYM WHEN YOU HAVE (make and model)!!" Hehehehe I love words. I also putting things up for sale. I'll make most of mine humorous. Why? LOL Things sell better with a story "Nice cat bed, my cat approves of it, but felt it was just to good for her! She's a spoiled princess, but NOT that spoiled. I thought she'd love it, she showed me otherwise. DO YOU HAVE a pampered Kitty? Show them your undying love for only $10!" Hehehehehe!! I sold the tent with "We went camping, but we shouldn't of!! We always get the worse of weather, and we SURE DID! It RAINED ALL 4 DAYS!! We stayed DRY IN THE TENT, but we decided "ohhhhh in a hotel we aren't going to have to deal with being outside! That was the easy decision the hard one is letting this go at HALF PRICE since we only used it ONE TIME!! Our LOSS is YOUR GAIN in the fresh outdoors, sets up in under 1 minute. MAY THE WEATHER BE KINDER TO YOU!! We are SURE IT WILL BE!" The comments are usually hilarious! People send it to their friends, WOOHOO WORK IT WELL!
@tslose ,,, WOOHOO TO THE BEACH!!! I live on the harbor which is pretty, but of course I'd not swim in it (Casco Bay Harbor/Portland Harbor (Maine) that's not swimmable to me!! BUT less than 3 minutes away (ALSO Casco Bay Harbor, but not all of the marine traffic, there are 2 ways for them to get into the port) and more within 20 mins. ENJOY THE TRIP!! Here's a pic of one I go to.
@Majork29 ,, OUCH!! Have you tried putting ice on it? It helps with the swelling. The last Covid shot didn't hurt me at all, but the one before that OUCHERS!!!!! Please take it easy today.
@Patti241,,, are you READY to start on Saturday? I AM!!
@regolden966 ,,, YW!! As you are seeing already from this week, when it comes on fast, it also leaves fast. The trick is to do what you are already doing, back on your normal routine. Please do not beat yourself up. I am not sure if you were a member on Sparkpeople? I LOVED that site because it always empathized "It's a LIFESTYLE" I added to that "NOT A DIE"T! Yes life will happen, there WILL be times we'll overdo and hey that's life. It's really okay. You are back on track. I am glad you got to enjoy stuff. As you look back next year you may wish to make some changes, but still enjoy things. I go for people not the food. THOUGH I DO LOVE FOOD!! And will have a little bit of something I know i do not normally eat.
@dsm1977 ,,, GREAT JOB on the water. OHhh when I read of you and the gym, I started to giggle as I recalled seeing this yesterday.
@Cormierannie ,,, Good job on today. Hope you enjoyed lunch and being with your friend!
@marg750me ,,, You got a lot done before your back decided to be OUCHERS!!! Do you use biofreeze or anything like that for spasms? A friend of min has a TENS unit for her spasms. I also do a hot bath with Epsom salt which does seem to help. We hope you feel better soon. Oh yes, on our own teams (Fit Force, Positively Strong 4 Life, Tenacious Grters, Red Hots etc.) there are the team chats and this one on the 5% Challenge so one may mingle with any member who visits here from the 5%.
I know that @Patti241 and I are on the same team Positively Strong 4 Life. What team are you each with?

@dianedoessmiles-hello! Oh yes I have some book suggestions! I read “then she was gone” by Lisa jewell in two days while away. It was really good but had some triggers (sensitive subjects that could bring up bad memories). I am 2/3rds done with “hour of the witch” about a woman who is accused of being a witch after dealing with a not nice husband (think witch trials in Massachusetts). Also reading ask again, yes. That one you just have to Google. I don’t want to spoil anything3
