Good evening,
Fruit/veg box was not at my doorstep this morning and I cancelled delivery. It is not a lot of money each month, but I waste too much of it.
I had to update something on my phone, so maybe I can do ubereats this weekend. We shall see. I am not going near cell phone today.
I am hoping to get to sleep earlier, I have started a bad process.
Missy - good job with the bp on the one dog, and I hope they other one can be found a solution.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -

Good morning all~~
The past couple of days have been wonky, and I didn't get here.
Missy - how are your mother and grandmother coming along?
I too recently looked at some photos. So sad, really. For me it's a history of my life slowly and silently getting more and more difficult.
Sara - glad to hear that you have a taxi guy nearby. Yes, stay away from the phone today. I hope that you get back to better sleep times.

Good evening,
Never did get the strong coffee that woke me up, so glazed over look in my eyes was an all day affair.
Glad you are doing well enough Lana - mental vacations are always a good thing.
Wishing all an early Happy Mother's Day. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -

Good morning,
I stayed after church yesterday to help set up the food pantry for bagging. Got 4k in and met my 5k and played with cans so that was my work out.
Lana - I say eggs and oatmeal - alphabetical.
Missy - frustrating that your grandmother is trying hard. Its harder to watch when they wont try at all.
Tomorrow day off. Dragon is back and I was able to swat 2 of her crap comments back at her by proving I had already done what she assumed I was clueless at.
Getting warm and getting adjusted to warm weather clothing.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -

Hello all~~
Sara - Gah! The Monster is back already? That was quick. I am glad that you gave her what for! Harrumph~
Lots of good karma getting your steps with volunteering at the church. 💖
Time to get going again.....
Waves to all who stop by later on ⛱️

Good afternoon, okay its evening....
Got 4k today. Considering I had the day off that's pretty good.
Grocery shopping this morning, got snacks for work. Ice cream for after work. Just is.
Psychiatrist apt today - she agrees that I need to try and get off med. She gave me withdrawal instructions and said if things get weird start taking them again. Trying to make my life easier got complicated.
Get to see Dragon tomorrow. I am so lucky. Face my fears and move on.

Here we are in the middle of the week.....
Sara - ✈️ Gunnar and his contingent of tall blond Scandinavian Warrior Cabana Boys are flying out to California with fire extinguishers to cool off The Dragon.
Foot massage and pillow fluffing for you will follow their victory.....👍🏻 🌴
OK, I have to get my act together.....ugh.

Good morning all. I'm starting this journey once again. I feel like I just can't get on the right track no matter how hard I try.3
-
Good evening,
Lana - wow thank you for the delish distraction.
Lose4me71- the right track starts with making better habits one at a time, find a habit that is easiest. Is it walking a little more? Drinking another glass of water? We got here through a series of habits that grew. It is possible to change for the better - and you can do it. Let us know how you are doing and drop us a line when you want.
Dragon is on a rampage - I have 100 plus hours for this PTO that I can use. I have used 40 and she is warning me it is only May . I finally decided that she had to find something negative and she can keep her prudishness to herself.
Got 6k today and I am eating more eggs and cottage cheese. Desserts are secretly hiding in the fridge...
I have finally learned how to make a friendship bracelet. I dont remember them in my teens - I lived under a rock. So I am finding mixed colored yarn to see how they turn out.
Did not mean to write an essay. Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -

Hello All~~ Welcome LoseForMe71 👋🏻🌸
Sara - As you know, The Dragon is just a miserable soul (I'm being kind), and she needs to attack and be mean to people, so she will grasp at whatever is handy (PTO days) at the time to assert her lofty rank. She's so pathetic. Keep letting things roll off of you 🤗
Back in the day, when I was working, I learned to leave something obvious sticking out in the theater or show venue. We'd leave some wires or cables hanging down somewhere center stage, so that when the bosses were walking through with someone (who they'd wanted to impress), they could call out to the crew to have that offending thing removed! *hilarious fools*

Good evening,
Oh Lana what we do to keep our boss happy. Shaking head.
There is an opportunity to have another week without Dragon and I hope the dept lets her go. That would be a real bonus for us and such a delight.
If I get up early for work, I spend my extra time at work getting steps in. I am seeing ## on scale that I have not seen in awhile.
Almost Friday and that idea is enough to get me to tomorrow.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
Sara - Congratulations on seeing that new ## on scale 🎉
Crossing fingers for the Dragon to take another week away - far away!!!

Good evening,
Lana were you posting at 3am? I appreciate your commitment to posting, but that is a bit early.
Happy Friday to all you work aholics out there.

Hi Everybody 👋🏻
Sara - no ma'am, I think it was maybe 6:30 - 7 am-ish? I would never post in the middle of the night because I know not to look at screens if I expect to fall back asleep. 😁
Well, I uncovered the pool today and tossed in a bunch of chlorine. Water temp is still down at 68 degrees, but I am hopeful it'll warm up so I can get in and build back some muscle! I'm down to all fat and bones - gah!
I hope that everyone is having a good Saturday.
Leftover chilled salmon and vegetables in for dinner 😋

Good evening,
Someone gave me fresh blueberries- which I froze. I then got lemons -- so you guessed Lemon Blueberry muffins right? They are in the oven right now.
I got 4700 steps by combining parking in one lot and walking to two stores.
Seems the 15 year old who wants to make money does not like the numerous friendship bracelets I made as the one she wants would get her more $$$. rolling my eyes and considering a plan b.

Good afternoon,
Sunday is home chores day. Laundry is running and putting away winter bedding and clothing.
Muffins turned out quite well. Gave one to my 93 year old who I am her secret pal and she loves lemons and blueberries, so I hope she enjoys her muffin.
Gentleman friend and I had coffee. He also got a muffin. He has offered to go and kidnap my father for father's day and take him to lunch (without my step mother).
I also am giving an elderly neighbor a muffin. Things they dont get anymore are things made from scratch and do I really need 6 in my freezer?
Wishing all a good day. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
Hi Sara - How cool that you made those muffins and have given them to your peeps. You're right - there's something special about something made from scratch! 🥰

Good evening,
Lana love that pink doughnut!!
Long day - up early to move car asphalting parking lot. Everyone was late so it was posted we could come in at 6 and only now are people allowed in. Strong coffee day at work
Need sleep. Looking at meal delivery services, I need more money to get them. So put on back burner.
Off to move car will have over 6k today maybe I will sleep earlier? hahahahaha

Good morning all~~
Sara - I've been tempted by the idea of food delivery services, but the price and possibly the salt is too much.
I've pretty much figured out that a rotisserie chicken once a week + a thing of sliced mozzarella + lentil soup + beans/chick peas/edamame + eggs + salad greens will give me the same thing.
Virtually no cooking. Only eggs in the morning get cooked. Maybe oatmeal.... ✅
I need to hire a dog walker to come and get me and take me for a walk every day 🐶
Lana
270.0 today, ugh1 -
Hi everyone... I really wish I could post with you all more! I lurk now and then, but I am so busy with work and staring at my computer all day, it's tough to want to stare at my phone.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying focused!!
I totally plateaued last 2 weeks, so I'm changing it up and doing low carb for as long as I can stand it. I don't log like I should, but am now to track net carbs. I have been eating good though, just thinking my body has adapted to the change.
I got a cruise coming up 1st week of July, so trying to get another 10lbs off by then! 30 down! 30 to go (for now)
Lana, the dog walker made me lol!!
Home delivery: I tried Home Chef and really liked it, especially since it's owned by Kroger. If you like a dish, you can download the list to buy at the store! I stopped because of the kids for now, but might start up again bc I am running out of cooking ideas.2 -
Good evening,
Lana you are not a dog -but it did make me laugh. Hire someone to clean your house with the stipulation that you have to go and walk while they do it.
lwhelan - glad you are going on a cruise, lose what you can and dont worry about the actual #.
Asphalt people are done. What a pain.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -

Good morning all~~
Iwhelan - I am so excited for you that you are going on a cruise! What ship? Where to?
I have one booked on the Liberty of the Seas out of NJ in September. I am trying to get a few pounds off before then.....
Sara - glad that the asphalt is finished. Ick.
I managed to walk on the Pumpkin Loop trail yesterday. I did only 1.5 miles, as I am so unused to it. Some things were starting to hurt, so I didn't push it farther.
Waves to all who stop by today 👋🏻

OK, can I just vent a tad here?
One of my coffee klatch ladies here ordered a new dress (she called it dress!) and she had it with her in the parking lot.....she said that she paid way too much for it, but she opened it there to check it out.
Side note: we are both senior citizens
She takes out a denim jeans colored garment, and I see as she is handling it that it seems to be ripped or torn in several places.
As she looks at it, she is excited. She asks what I think, and I say - Margaret, there seems to be some defects....it's torn and ripped up on the hem...
(this thing looks like an overly long denim work shirt that was found in a junk heap)
Turns out that it is supposed to be that way and that she is thinking of wearing it with heels. This from a woman who never wears heels.
I think that I must be insane because how could the entire world lose its mind all at once?
Good grief....

Lana, that's crazy!! The only ripped look I wear are denim shorts with tennis shoes.... I can't imagine a dress like that! Nice job on 1.5 miles too!
Sara, asphalt stinks so badly!! Glad to hear it's done.
Our cruise is western Caribbean with Royal Caribbean. I forget the ship name. It's a 7-day leaving out of Tampa. I know I shouldn't worry about the # of pounds, but I think 10 is doable in 6 weeks.
Also, been doing the semaglutide injections since mid-Jan. I don't remember if I mentioned that previously. I was in a very low, dark place, felt hopeless and out of control... so I went to a small clinic just to talk about options. It has really helped me.
I plan to do it for a year bc I want to change my habits for good. My weight loss doc agreed with my plan. However, I am going to take a 2 week break from it on the cruise as well. I usually get them on Fridays and will skip those 2 Fridays and see how I feel. Hopefully that will also help my body reset a little bit.
On my lunch break at the moment. Got my turkey slices, Swiss cheese, baby carrots, snap peas, radishes and my low cal ranch dip. Probably have 1/2 a protein bar too and the other 1/2 after dinner.
Hope everyone has a great day!
