    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane 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.

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

    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.

    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

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

    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 🐶

    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.

    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.

    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 👋🏻
