@Dianedoessmiles1-I wrote that title down/thx you. I hope you are enjoying the snow! Hubby woke up to at least of covering of snow in Boston. He said it’s been snowing steadily all day. Her audition was at 11:30, interview 12:30, tour at 3. So they will eat lunch in there and then hit the road because tomorrow is an another audition (all state band). Lol I will have to tell hubby about crashachussets. In my part of New Jersey, people seem to comment negatively on NY drivers (because we can get into the city in 45 minutes). But really nj/ny drivers seem pretty similar2

Good afternoon. Hugs and blessings to all.
@NovemberGail l like your word for the day.
Helped Don put an arbor together. Backyard is coming along nicely. Will post pictures when he finishes up. Not much else is new.[/fuchsia]

@Lindiemaep ,,, I see you put:
[color-purple]
If you had put an equal sign = instead of the hyphen it'll work. WOOHOO keeping in mind (I am pretty sure Linda knows this so for others) after you put the color and the ] (no space) also no space between the ]and the words you wish in the color you wish.
Hope you got your errands done! If not that you did today. Oh and that Gene enjoyed the tea.
We did get 7"s of snow so we ae rather THRILLED!! AND even better it's the nice and very sticky stuff!! It's hard to clean off the car now, so my friend and I both did it together, but with it so sticky LOL I was did the windows, and lights, and was LOLOL Playing with it!!
@LIndiemaep ,, LOL YOU DID IT!! Ignore the above please!! GREAT JOB!! If you want it BOLD just click on the B for bold first than do as you did to get it bold. If you want both center of the screen and bold, click above for the center first, than the bold, then the [ etc.
@Novembergail,, Sure hope you got to sleep!! That mushroom is so pretty!!
@Tabatha_Cain,, Did work go well? Enjoy your Saturday (AKA CATurday!) off!! did they do your schedule well? I see you have 1 day of work. How about the paycheck? We did get snow as you can see. I hope you get some also that's as much FUN as ours! LOL I am STILL like that 8 year old who sat in front of the TV to see if school was CANCELLED!! LOL a part of that was also just 2 years ago at the this time I was working with 2nd graders, so if my city or Portland had a snow day I AUTOMATICALLY DID TO and it was with pay!! WOOHOO TO THAT!
@Patti241,,, HI Patti!! Here's hoping you'll get snow soon!! Is it worth moving up the coast a bit? LOL SORRY!! WOW they just said in Maine, in Cumberland County (I live in here) housing prices are STILL CLIMBING and an average small house is going for where I am ,, get this, A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS!! YO!!! A few years ago you could get an average house for 175 to 225 (the 175 needed renovations).
@Cormierannie,, ENJOY that visit with your friend!!
@Bookienj,,,, Reading expands the mind in so many ways (Well I am sure that also depends on what we read LOL). Sunday will be easier to travel, that's a sound decision. I hadn't kept track over night of Boston I knew the Cape was going to get snow. I hoe your D does well and LOVES the audition!! Stress yes, but a chance to also shine as we know she does!
@Kurtize,,, NICE JOB no doubt on the yard, it's been fun watching that!!

Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been cold with flurries on and off but nothing sticking and not enough to make money off of anyways. It has been a very productive day. Did laundry, dishes and some Christmas deco removal. Also did push-ups, marching, calf raises, core and lower body workout and got some walking in running errands.
Tomorrow is another busy day as it's my Son's weekend here. We have a party at my friend's to celebrate us all out of a job. I am taking taco dip upon request. It's also the first anniversary of Mom's death.1 -
@Cseguin2 ,,,, WOW! BUSY DAY indeed!! That's always nice. Enjoy S being there, hopefully he's gotten the help he needs and deserves. Ohhhh LOL the party is an unusual theme, but I always LOVE THAT and hey, if I were in your position I'd do the same thing!!! I am so hoping you can find a job you'll enjoy. Did you pass the test? I must of missed the post. Hugs on the anniversary of your Mom passing. I miss mine about daily and she's been gone for 32 years but now when I think of her it's with a smile.2
-
SHHHHHHH ... DO YOU HEAR THAT ??? It's the weekend coming !! WOOHOOO bring on the weekend, are you excited for it ? I am !!
@Dianedoessmiles1 yes I figured it out now to remember LOL Busy day today, first had to go get the lotion for my "craddle cap" scalp condition - must be put on dry scalp, not wet, and it is very thin, they way she said, made me wonder how it would get on the scalp - I have not used it yet, maybe tomorrow sometime. Then I had volunteer work now I am researching ... life is good !!
@Tabatha_Cain hope you have a good weekend and you get a lot accomplished for the wedding.
@everyone enjoy the weekend and have fun, and enjoy whom you are with too !!

Went to Superstore for a few things when Gene got home from work - he is obessing about his latest blood work results and buying things to improve his healthier lifestyle.@Dianedoessmile1 - nice pictures of the snow, we will get snow tomorrow maybe, but I am not going out!2
-
I realize that tomorrow is today -- it is 12:10 a.m. Way past my bedtime. Will have to do better.
Today's Word is Flexibility.
Found another set of turkey tails. These are very different:

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well. I am swollen today from everything I ate yesterday so my weight is up. I ate a lot. Not sure why but I just kept eating. I am not sure what is going on. Stress from the wedding or something but I don't really feel stressed. Nothing has been super stressful. So we will see how it goes. I ordered more shakes to help with the weight loss. and I am going back to 2 shakes a day.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I know it is probably bad over there but it looks pretty. Glad you had a friend who was able to help. We have not gotten any snow yet. Well aside from the blizzard we had last month. I remember sitting in front of the tv waiting for them to call a snow day.
@CSEGUIN2 - You were very productive. Sorry you are out of a job. I am so sorry for the loss of your mom.
@LindieMaeP - I am thinking we are pretty much done with the wedding for now other than working on paying off the venue and paying off the DJ. We still have linens to buy for the tables though.
Well it is time to get ready to get some food. Have a great day.
Tabatha2 -
Diane: If we get snow I really only want a small amount. So far it has been rain here.
Tabitha: I am the same for today. Yesterday for some reason I just kept eating. I am dusting myself off and getting back on track.1 -

for lunch, I had half of my chinese takeout from last night... then I had my son's leftovers too... not good. I was already bloated and now I feel icky from all the unhealthy food! I definitely will do better tomorrow.
Also, working out for me is usually walking. But it's been so cold out I usually don't... I'm sorry!1 -
@Lindiemaep ,, Glad you enjoyed the meeting (I will in the AM no doubt!! Going to try to be in person!). Hope you figured out the lotion. Hope it works also. I've gone back to coconut oil, it makes my hair so nice and my scalp also. THANKS on the nice pictures. Today we had to move the car for plowing (finished snow around 4 in the afternoon yesterday ,,well very lightly til 7 PM) so my friend moved it first thing. She's more of an early bird. I used it to to go the grocery store for a few things, it's back in it's cute spot. HOPEFULLY Gene will stay on the better eating routine. I had been in the ER on Monday with a critically low potassium level, but the blood test yesterday woohoo has me at the PERFECT MARK!! FINALLY!! Now to hold onto that!
@Novembergail,, Hope you slept very well!! Those turkey tails are so COOL!! PRETTY!!
@Tabatha_Cain, so sorry about the weight. we know though when it comes on fast, it also goes off fast. You'll take care of it. You are such a strong woman. WOW PROOF is you have most of the wedding already set!! WOW!! GREAT JOB!!!
@Patti241,,, it's so strange how many haven't had any snow, and how many of us are so far under our average. We are 6 to 8"s under the storm did help us out. With the eating is it from boredom or are you hungry? I know I address this on the PS4L team a little bit ago with a few articles from Sparkpeople. Others did you know you can still search for articles on Sparkpeople? I just put in Sparkpeople for Patti earlier, but it may help others here and those on your teams: Dealing with Hunger and Food Cravings https://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/nutrition_articles.asp?id=1436
@Kurtize,, ENJOY the day!!! WOOHOO!! WE ARE OFF!!2 -
@macrat12 I was a bit off this week too. This week will be better.2
-
Good afternoon everyone - it's raining here and I am ok with that, have my exercise done, just have to get my steps in. Since it is inside, it will be march in place OR walking the hallway of the apartment building, both will give me what I need by the end of the day!
@Dianedoessmiles1 yes was a wonderful public discourse AND WT as well !! I got to participate ! Hope you enjoy inperson but remember that zoom exists for those who have health problems, I know I have so I do zoom and help support those who are also on zoom. Not everyone can go in person. Now tomorrow maybe different. We will see - glad the car got moved for the snow plough!! There was a gorgeous sunrise this morning in which I saw the reflection off the building across the street from me but I was cookign so I could NOT go get a pic - I just figure I'll have another opportunity !!
@Tabatha_Cain glad all is coming together for the meeting. Enjoy your weekend and have a wonderful time.
@MegLovesHistory oh oh oh I have been there, I love love chinese food and will go back for seconds, BUT I weigh it out on the scale and in the end, I most likely have 1 serving in 2 servings by weighing it out and then do not feel too bad about it afterwards. I hope you can walk in place, there are some good utube videos for walking, ie Walk With Leslie Sansone, Walk with Debbie Rock, and others. I just put music on my Iphone and away I go. Most of the music has a good beat to it, so I can be encouraged that way. Now I want chinese for din din ... yelling - OH SONNNNNN we need HOT DELIVERY lolol nope I have food prepared in the fridge = it comes first !! BUT I still want Chinese !! or Church's Chicken, oh boy !! Not getting either LOL
@everyone have a wonderful Saturday or Caturday and enjoy what ever you have planned.
2 -
@MegLovesHistory ,, OH YUMMY CHINESE! It's so yummy tasting!!! I'd of done the same thing you did. If you are not limited on how much water you can drink it'll help flush out the sodium Chinese food has in it. If you have a light snack and if you've not eaten supper yet, a light supper unless you are hungry that'll help you also. On Sparkpeople (its a former weight loss site) we learned that losing weight is NOT A "DIE"t, but rather a lifestyle. In it being a lifestyle, no need to beat ourselves up when we eat over etc, but rather to get back to our new habits as soon as we can. NO SHAME please that leads us to thinking we NEED to be perfect and that's impossible. Hope this helps because we ALL DO IT! I'm down 120 lbs and I STILL IT do it from time to time? WHY would I eat something that has mega calories cause I want to and it's YUMMIER!! YES my weight will shoot up a lb maybe more, but I go back to my now eating ways, and its off me in 3 to 4 days. I don't recommend doing it often, but from time to time I SURE DO!2

@Dianedoessmiles1 - reading definitely expands the mind! Well they are back in New Jersey. Drove home late Friday from the college. Thx! Didn’t hear much about yesterday’s audition, heard today’s was rough. Tomorrow is a safety school so not as much pressure.2
-
@Bookienj,,, such an exciting time for her and you all!! Glad they had a safe trip. IF she wants this the most I hope she gets it. She seems to be like you ,, she'll go for what she wants with all she has.2

Snow is in the forecast this coming week. (Now I don't feel left out 🙄)
@Dianedoessmiles1: Another night I am going to bed late but sleeping like a baby when I hit the pillow.
Tomorrow's word is INSPIRATION

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today I work at my second job. I work late 5:30 pm to 10 pm. My usual shift. I do love that job. It gets me up and moving. Today we have church and discussion. I love Sundays for Church and discussion.
@Patti241 - I am too. Not going to let it get me down.
@MegLovesHistory - I did the same thing the other day too. I definitely overate.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I know I will get it off quick. I am just not sure why I get the cravings to eat a ton all of a sudden.
@LindieMaeP - That is great that you have a back up to your walks. Everything went good for the meetings
@NovemberGail - I love snow. I don't like the cold that goes with it though.
Well it is time to get some food. I hope you all have a great day.

Diane: We are supposed to get a little bit of snow today. The overeating is basically out of boredom.
tabitha: I agree3 -
❓I’m sorry if this isn’t where to post a question but I’ve just joined and would like to know how to get on a team for next season, I’m assuming the Winter 5% teams are closed for new members. If there is another place to ask this, please let me know. Thank you.3

@SherileeMFP you can ask any question you like in this forum, someone will answer you. @Dianedoessmiles1 or @Ceriusly1 or another leader will be able to anwser if you can join this challenge now instead of waiting. Welcome to the 5% community !!
@Tabatha_Cain enjoy your shift tonight and have fun - work is always better when it is fun !!
@Dianedoessmiles1 well I hope your morning is going well. Gene got up at 5 after doing an 8 hour fast for blood work only to find out the lab is closed today!! When he left I asked him if he was sure it was open, he said it was. By 7 he realised it was not open and went and checked the sign. I asked him before he left to pick up breakfast on the way back from MacDonalds and sure enough he brought me my fav - bacon and egg mcmuffin so I got to enjoy that this morning with the rest of my breakfast ( I was not sure he would go there !! ) Now he has to do the 8 hour fast again for tomorrow !! LOL No snow here, just cold and rain.
@NovemberGail do keep the snow , I have had enough for one year !! LOL as always love the pictures you share !!
@everyone I hope your having a wonderful day and are enjoying what ever you have planned. May you all have peace !!

@Novembergail, ,, That's SO PRETTY!! What a wonderful area you live in!!! Hope you got some deep sleep!! I woke up early, but that was also benefit so I could have extra showering time.
@Tabatha_Cain ,, Sometimes a craving hits, sometimes we saw something advertised, and it plays in our minds in the background and before long,,, well that's why they pay for catchy ads. ENJOY WORK tonight. I did LOVE working from 4 to closing with the grocery store, once the head up managers leave,,, LOL we got to play more and well you all know me enough to know I LOVE THAT!
@Patti241,,,, Thanks. Do you have any jobbies you can do when bored? You you like to do crosswords? Drawing? painting or learning any of those? Knitting? Adult coloring books? Reading? Online cards (I AM SHARPENING UP My CRIBBAGE PLAYS because the informal 2 games start this WEDS!! AND I WANNA WIN!)? Anything to keep your hands busy? If my house needs housework that helps me too!! Oh and answering to others posts, that clearly keeps my hands busy.

💺Winter Seat Requests Here Only💺
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10881017/winter-seat-requests-here-only#latest
@Lindiemaep ,, THANKS for the HEADS up for Sheri. I did also email her.
It's so pretty out!! SO PRETTY INDEED!!! So sorry when Gene got there they were not open. I ALWAYS double check now because at times staffing shortages means NO we are not open. It's only a 15 to 20 min drive, but still!! It's about 5 miles here, but yeah. CITY!! LOLOL!! I hope Gene can try again without any difficulty. YUMMY Egg McMuffin. Today on the way home from meeting I was so CRAVING A BIG MAC!!! BUT!!! I didn't want to get one that was COLD and the fries cold, and the way they make a big mac and the way I do ,, well mine IS healthier!! I just take the hamburger mix it with garlic (YUMMY) garlic powder, onion powder and Worcestershire sauce. Put it into the air fryer. YUMMY!! I only use 1 burger not 2, and OH MY!! It was way better then what they serve now!! And of course my fries were WAY better then theirs!!! Once I got stuff cut up (onions, garlic) it was only 12 mins of cooking, shorter than getting the car ,,driving down, waiting in line to order,, paying, picking up if no customer in front of me has a hissy fit and driving back home. I am only 3 or 4 mins away, but then to get inside it's 3 to 4 mins to my place. By that time the fries are ALWAYS getting cold, and the burger is cold. This way it's ALL HOT!
@Cormierannie, glad you got to hang with your friend.
@Kurtize,,, it's a GOOD DAY for a blanket too!! LOL Linus is so cute!! May your Sunday be ROARSOME!!3
