    Good evening,

    I would enjoy a camel walking through my office. It would be a change.

    Eating a large piece of sweet potato for dinner, it is an improvement - just saying.

    Missy - keeping good thoughts. It could be the salary difference will be worth not having overtime? Never know.

    Lana - I am just glad you get out of your house and mix and mingle.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Good morning all~~

    Sara - A camel is exactly what your office needs!.....right outside of you-know-who's office!

    Missy - I just realized that you might have a new position to go along with your starting school again. Holy cow!

    Yes 🙌🏻 I’m hoping the salary offsets the OT

    Good evening,

    Cold here this evening, Freezing in some quarters. Mother Nature is keeping us alert and busy.

    Almost Friday and Dragon will be away from work tomorrow. The elves are celebrating.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Happy Friday!

    Sara - glad that Dragon is away! And Mother Nature is definitely keeping us alert.

    Lana - I think we should get a traveling camel and have it stay at the office or something for a bit lol

    Have a great Friday! Pray that the tuition reimbursement gets approved before classes start in a week! Making me nervous.

    Good evening,

    They are putting new carpet in upstairs (not really impressive looking either) meaning Mr Elephant Feet and his wife have left. Phew lets hope for an upgrade in upstairs neighbors.

    Missy hoping things tie together at the last moment. You can be the only one to have this issue....

    Lana -I am just so happy the cboys are getting busy again, they have been sitting around for too long. I am a better person when Monster takes the day off so we all benefit. Thank you for getting the party started.

    It will be an early evening because I can sleep in and it sounds wonderful.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Good morning all ☀️

    Sara - when your new neighbors move in, bake them some cookies, and go up and introduce yourself. Maybe that will pave a good road for later communications about noise. 🐘😋

    Missy - did you get any snow?

    I need more coffee!

    I know right?!? Will just keep praying 🙏🏻 oh that’s the worst having neighbors above you like that. Had that once where upstairs neighbors were always yelling when I was trying to sleep for my job when I worked third shift. Glad I was only in that apartment for a year

    Good evening,

    Dead battery in car. Nice way to start the morning. Neighbor has a halo that can jump start cars. Got a new battery and neighbor's husband installed.

    I had a hair apt -bangs way too long felt like a shaggy dog. She said to come by when I got my car fixed and she will find me time. Nice lady. So I sat and knitted and talked to the hairdresser's daughter and boyfriend until time became available.

    Walked the nearby grocery store, so even with the day I met my step goal. Yay team. Tried to get into the neighbors pick up truck and too short and too weak. I will have some stiff and sore body parts tomorrow.

    Slept on/off for the better part of 4 hours this afternoon. Saturdays are my crash day. Hope I can get back to sleep tonight. Alarm is set on clock so I dont miss church again. Over sleeping and bad weather.....

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Happy Sunday all~~

    Missy - thanks for getting us started.

    Jeez Sara - that was some day yesterday. Too much! Congrats on the step count 🌟

    It's ugly and rainy here. I've been getting my activity in by doing work around the house, with the dance music on!

    I had hoped to get down a tiny bit more than I did for the week.....pressing ahead with the weight loss project.....

    Happy Sunday friends. Hubby got called in to work and I was just going to relax and watch TV, but I decided to get some steps in on the treadmill instead. Walked 35 min, with some incline intervals, worked up a decent sweat. Cleaned the kitchen and made some green tea. Now I am relaxing a bit, drinking a protein smoothie. I will be heading to the grocery store soon to buy healthy good for the week.

    Hope everyone has a great day!

    Hello IWhelan - you are a pilot!?! How cool is that!

    Missy - Thank you for getting us started today. Love the new accoutrements!

    I think I got up too early this morning....gotta move some to get rid of this sleepiness!

    *tossing beach bag onto favorite lounge chair for later*

    I am definitely a serial starter. I think I am start number 5 right now. I figured loosing weight was cheaper then buying larger clothes again.

    I started again first part of December when I tried to wear one of my long sleeved white blouses and it was to tight over the stomach. I"m down almost 10 pounds since then and wore one of them yesterday!

    Hello ☺ been on and off MFP for 6 years. Looking for active friends to encourage and support through our life long journeys. I have yo-yoed so many times over the last 12 years.. Back to keep trying again!

    Good evening,

    I have heater set at 62 and it just went on. It is really too cold to go turn it off.

    Made Chestnut/Sweet potato/onion soup with plain greek yogurt and pecans. Soup without the last 2 ingred are in freezer. - Not bad considering I was ad libbing a little.

    Got 5800 steps today and 6300 yesterday so going walking right after I get home is paying off.

    Stay warm and take care.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Good morning Y'all~~

    Welcome to FemmeFitFierce and anyone else looking for some support along the way~~

    Sara - good for you on your sweet potato soup! Sounds very good.

    I slept later than usual - time to hop into the shower. I need to get my passport photo done today. I need to do something to make my hair look decent. I've lost so much volume on the top. Ugh.

    🌴 You'd think that one of the Cabana Boys would be good with hair, but no.... that's not their thing. Dang. 🌴

    Hello IWhelan - you are a pilot!?! How cool is that!.

    Lana, I was a pilot for a day!! 🤣 50th birthday gift from hubby. I do think about taking lessons, but want to get smaller first. It was depressing and embarrassing getting into that tiny plane.... one more motivator for me.

    Good evening,

    Okay we go from wet to freezing, we are getting winter in overdrive this month.

    So far this week I am over on steps by 2300 - if you could see what I am eating you would know that is not enough calorie burning to justify my current weak moment. However I will get more steps tomorrow.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    This is my 2nd time on MFP. I thought I could sustain my weight loss without using the food diary but I can't. I need the accountability at this point in my life.

    I'm 139 pounds and want to lose nine. When I left MFP before I weighed 132 with daily exercise. If I can get back to that weight and just sustain I'll be happy.
