Cold and where did my Friday night go? Dang
Taking a challenge through work to eat less sugar next week- right pick Valentine's day the second favorite holiday of dentists - first is Halloween.
Lana hope you are doing better.
Taking as much of my frustration and negative emotion out on my feet and walking more. Feet are not that happy.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.
Friday felt like Groundhog Day…wait it was lol. Yeah Valentines Day is all about roses and chocolates. WW leader today jokingly said eat the roses they are 0 points. Lol 😂 I think I might get myself a small box of chocolates. Hope your weekend goes much better!1 -

Happy Sunday,
Yesterday I fell on concrete and did a good number on my knee. Almost have run out of the big bandages. Good news, I read a book while elevating my legs... and bandages will be delivered tomorrow. I am thinking of calling in Monday to rest my knee longer.
Another good news- my neighbor the nurse said I either go to church or lunch not both- I chose lunch with my gentleman friend and another coworker and her family.
I am officially 5 pounds down from Christmas and in a "decade" of poundage I have not seen in months. While I cannot get the steps in at the moment I can take the sugar challenge seriously and do upper body workout (mirror is not kind at the moment ....).
Wishing all a great day. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -

I hope your knee heals up soon! I’m having sympathy pain for you. Hope your lunch went well. Congrats on the loss! Yup adapt and overcome!1 -

Sara - 🎉 Big congratulations on being in a lower poundage decade! That is so awesome!! 🎉
Holy cow about your fall! It sounds as if it is mostly a flesh wound and no damage to knee structure. Whew~~
Good for you for choosing lunch with friends, which is good for the soul. 💖
Missy - This is an exciting time for you. How are things going with the new work position along with the classes/studies? Are your classes in person or online or both?
The sun has deigned to come out for one day, and I'm going to try to soak up as much of it as possible.
Waves to all who stop by later on 👋🏻🌴

Good afternoon,
Called in and took today off. Knee is doing better but I want it to be okay before I put it to the test at work.
Reading a romance novel with my feet up (when I get back to it). Dont usually slow down to read - should start doing that again.

Class is going great one week down. Aced all of my assignments. It’s all online thank goodness. Haven’t started new position yet. They think I will be in my current position for the next 30 days. Hoping sun stays out longer. Just starting to defrost after the recent arctic blast.2 -

Hope your knee feels better soon. Reading can be so relaxing. I need to do more of it and not just reading a textbook.1 -

Good morning everybody 🐬
Sara - wishing you a good day at work today and continued improvement with your knee!
Missy - very nice that your classes are online - you can do your studies at your convenience. 👍🏻
Time to look at the Do List and see what's what.

Good afternoon,
Did not go to work, got so little sleep it was not worth it. Tomorrow I go back.
Had a dream that I went into a room where there were two ladies and said "I am sorry not my dream" we laughed and I walked out of the room - my brain is amazing sometimes.
Got a nice piece of knitting done. Will finish my book and stream something online.
Wishing all a good day. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
Lana- Yes that’s the wonderful thing about online classes. They have optional lecture and study group which they record. First week I watched the recordings but this week I went to the live. Definitely get more out of it being present for the live.
Sara- hope your knee feels better! Dreams can be so weird sometimes.

Good morning all~~
Missy - what a cute little guy with his hat 🥰
Sara - amazing about your dream! How is your knee doing?
Ladies, this morning the scale showed me a "decade" that I have not seen possibly since the summer of 2020! It's given me motivation to work to nail it down 👍🏻

Welcome! Yes it does!!!3 -
Good evening,
Lana - yay! doesnt it feel great to see an old friend on the scale?
Missy- I would need all the help I could get with an online course, so good for doing both. I usually need to be told twice about many things... Love the dog picture
Sue - you are very welcome here. I liked WW but not the $$ and trying to find meetings. Keep us posted on how you are doing and let us know how we can keep you on track.
Speaking of which - first day back to work. Knee did very well. My dinner is way off the charts. I am at least admitting it. I got 3 times the steps I have gotten since Saturday - so onwards and upwards. I am on a limit your sugar week - I did not put sugar in my tea- dinner is a big road bump but tomorrow I will limit sugar again.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -

Welcome to Sue!
Sara - glad that your knee did well! 🤗
Well, I'm glad that I weigh daily, or I would never have seen that touching down into the lower "decade". Unfortunately my body didn't hold onto it yet. I'll keep on truckin'........
Waving to Missy and anyone else who stops by later on 🌴

Hi, all!!! I like MFP for its ease of use (most of the time), its vast library of food calories & its community. Almost a year ago I fully tore my posterior miniscus. Apparently, surgery for that isn’t as successful, so my exercise BFF is a leg brace. I’ve adapted & am hellbent on making progress. I’m in the process of switching up my exercise routine to reincorporate more lifting.2

Good evening,
Lana you were the one who said a while back that if you see it on the scale once, you will see it again.
No bandage today with success - so I am considering walking to work again next week. We shall see. Just happy things are on the mend. Over 3k today so steps are adding up.
I have been in the mood for snickerdoodles - they are not easy to find - so I will make them. Does Sara have Cream of Tartar in the house? (most people dont....) so an order to Walmart and I behaved myself and did not jump into the complete junk food section. I have people I can gift the cookies to for Valentines day - so I will not have to look at all of them.
Empresssue - let us know how you are progressing. On my bad days, I like to hear of other's success.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

Happy Friday,
Looks like its me starting late.
Cookies almost done only to find they are just a little under done -so they will all go back in for a little more time when they are all "mostly done".
Long week hope to sleep well tonight.

Good evening,
Long day, but productive as I cleaned out a room of empty boxes (think online sales).
Found out I need tires for my car. Just will have to deal with it.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday,
Have a good time. I will make sure I go and take a walk.
Got a container full of someone crochet project. Hope I can finish them off as they are quite beautiful.

Good morning Y'all~~
Sorry that I was MIA. What a funk over the dark, rainy, dreary weekend. The only thing that helped was a highly irregular trip to Krispy Kreme donuts. 😳
Today the sun is out, and things are better.
I need to go back and read on previous page what I missed.
Sara - glad to hear that you are walking because that means your knee can handle it. Very cool about the container of crocheting.

Good evening,
Lana I was hoping you were hibernating. Doughnuts are sometimes a life saver.....You Scale # is lower than I last remember.
I actually made something for dinner. Dinner has become the junk food ending of my day. Not that there is anything wrong, but it also means I do not have leftovers for the next day. A pot of white rice and some frozen chicken tempura and sauce (not stellar food I grant you), is an upgrade from the last couple of weeks.
5600 steps is a bump up from last week. I hope it also means I sleep better.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

Same here unfortunately. Need to change it.0 -
Have a lovely day! Sending virtual chocolate hearts to everyone.2 -
Good evening,
I used to make cookies on Valentine's day and take them to work. Too many cookies in the house. I did get a Valentine gift from someone so that when I make cookies again, I will make sure she gets some.
Three days -count them 3- until I get a week off. I have to get there and deal with my monthly eval on Friday - but next week is sleeping/knitting/reading and dejunking (probably in that order but I hope not). I have to take back my living space.
Stay safe and sane out there.

New lifting routine this week. So far adhering to 3 cardio, 3 weightlifting days.
I actually threw out Gordon Food Service sugar cookie dough this week cuz I kept getting into them. I view it as a win & not a waste of money. One less form of temptation in the house:)2 -
Good evening,
Walked 6300 steps, finally back to those #s after my knee mishap. Nice after work to get the extra steps in.
I need to do my "weight lifting" we shall see.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1
