    Hi all happy Friday. We just learned our daughter Joell has covid and is at high risk. She and her husband live in WA. Also learned our grandson CJ and his girlfriend Brook (Joell's youngest, he is in his 30's) are getting married Sept 29th. Nothing else new or exciting, except David and Doug will be here tomorrow and it is very hot. Car is acting up again it is the camshaft sensor not working properly; working on getting that taken care of. Everyone have a great rest of your day.

    Take care all, hugs and blessings.

    Here is our mother bird on her nest. I first thought they left the nest after the cats came around but they didn't, just didn't see when they came back and laid the eggs.

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Today has been a great day! Lots of exercise. Although couldn't do both sets of my shoulder exercises today. The new exercise for me is very difficult and painful. But I know I will only improve. Also did dishes and laundry. Still need to work on my program for TOPS. But I know I'll get it done eventually.

    Good afternoon everyone, @Kurtize , how is your daughter doing? All of our 4 grown kids & their kids have had covid more than once. Our older car had that check engine light on for months while my retired mechanic husband did research & tried many things to fix the problem, it ended up that a hose had a leak in it. What I've been trying to change lately is not to wait till 2-3pm to eat lunch! I don't like breakfast so I usually eat my first meal around 11 but it just hasn't worked out that way. I do intermittent fasting & eat from 11-7pm but I go out in the mornings to walk, dog park, swimming etc & don't get home till after 1+ because I've been starting my mornings out later than usual, around 10 even though it's been hot Fortunately after I eat my regular lunch , I wait 10min like Heather suggests & don't end up eating more. I guess the good thing has been is I'm not usually hungry till I eat dinner around 7-8 so I save snack calories & have been getting to the lower end of my maintenance range & wouldn't mind losing another 5lbs below that as long as I can sustain it.

    @Evamutt our daughter is the same, sleeps a lot (which I am hoping is good for her). Can barely talk because hard to breathe. She called me and we only spoke for a moment she wanted us to know she was ok, she sounded terrible and actually only makes me worry more especially since we are so far away. Thank you for asking, hugs.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Saturday and I have to get some stuff done this morning once my husband goes to work. I have some other stuff to do. I am hoping that today goes well. My husband only works 4 hours today. He gets out of work at 12. I know things are going to go well today I can tell.

    @Kurtize - That is awesome that your grandson is getting married. Sorry your daughter has covid. I know she is high risk but I am sure she will pull through. I hope you get your car fixed. That is great that you have a mom bird and eventually some babies near by.
    @CSEGUIN2 - Just be careful with the new exercise. I really don't think there is suppose to be pain.
    @Evamutt - I eat really early in the morning and am done by 7:30 pm and then eat again about 6 am in the morning. That is my intermitten fasting routine.

    Well it is time to get some breakfast. I hope you all have a great day.

    I can literally say good morning airport friends as I sit and wait for my flight ✈️ to Delaware via Philadelphia to baby sit for my first granddaughter. She is 2 months old and trying to hold off daycare for awhile as my DIL returns to work.

    Happy Saturday to all.

    Happy Saturday - have a great weekend. Son will be arriving soon so probably won't be checking in again until Monday. Looking forward to a good visit. i gained a little but I also was on a bit of eating spree. Hugs all

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Tabatha - normally it's true that exercise should not be painful. But when it already hurts physio can be a bit painful until muscle is built up. The girl at physio told me it is normal and do what I can.

    Today has been raining on and off but did get 4 smaller walks in. Helped that I went with my Son to get his blood work done. We did end up stopping at McDonald's for breakfast on the way home. Didn't stick to the plan of just getting a sausage and egg McMuffin. Ended up get the whole meal with a diet coke. Balanced it out with not having lunch and just having a light snack later in the afternoon to hold me till dinner. Spent the rest of the day getting my program done for TOPS on Tuesday. No strength either as my muscles are sore and tight. But did do some random stretching throughout the day. Also did some dishes. Not completely satisfied but have to listen to my body so I don't overdo it.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is going to go well. We have laundry to do and I have church to watch. I am currently doing a load of dishes in the dishwasher. I love that thing and it was a great investment about 5 years ago. I try to keep the trap cleaned out and maintain it well so I hope it lasts a lot longer. It is portable so I wheel it over to the sink and hook it up and then wheel it back when I am done. It has a cutters block top so I can use it to cut things and it is parked right new to my fridge like an actual counter. I love it.

    @bbonet3 - That is so awesome. I bet you are excited to see her. I cannot wait to have my first grandchild. I agree with holding off on daycare as long as you can. I always had my family watching my kids until they were almost 1 years old.
    @cormierannie - Thank you for that reminder. I have to go get a walk in. I really do.
    @CSEGUIN2 - Ok. That is good. I was just always told be careful not to push if it hurts. I had physio after surgery on my wrist and I have had physio on my knees. So I do get the physio side a bit. My hand still isn't 100% but they said it was pretty much all I was going to get after having to reattach ligaments in my wrist. I cannot do regular push ups because my wrist cannot hold the weight. It really stinks.

    Well it is time to get some food. I hope you all have a great day.

    Good afternoon teammates, hope your weekend is going well, so how was week 1 for you? I did ok, and hope the trend continues. Calcium is good to track as I have no idea how much I get from food as I can't take supplemental - it causes muscle cramps and knots. Rather avoid those, they are painful.

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Today has been a good day outside bad air quality due to the smoke. Went to Church and had a great fellowship. When I got home one of our friends was there for a short visit. I was a little surprised at how much weight he has gained in 10 years. Got my walks done. Did some laundry and played 3 games of Yahtzee and 3 games of Skipbo with Hubby. Tonight we're having breakfast for dinner.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and even though it is early Joe and I are awake. We usually get up at 5 am but my dog started barking for some unknown issue that woke me up and then Joe started having tummy issues so that woke him up. So we are up an hour and 15 minutes early. That works for me though since I had to get Joe's clothes in the dryer this morning so he could have them for work. Now I know they will be dry in time for him to get to work. Yesterday we actually made it for a motorcycle ride. It was great. I really love the motorcycle rides with my husband.

    @LindieMaeP - Love the photos. I take some supplements, not many though. I have not found one I really like except at Walmart and we really never go there anymore since it is such a bad store. Those are the only ones I have found that I like.
    @CSEGUIN2 - The smoke is getting to us again too. I was hoping since they had not mentioned the air quality in about a week that the wildfires were improving and possibly gone. That is apparently not the case and I feel bad for those in Canada that are really suffering because of this.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful day.

    Good afternoon travelers
    One of my new favorite quotes is:"finding peace by not paying attention to all of my thoughts" by Heather Robertson
    I'm always fighting my thoughts & the most troublesome lately is that I'm getting too old to workout. It sounds so silly saying it out loud but I've always worried about getting older. It started when I was a little girl. One of my main goals is to get back to the gym regularly. I also continue to pay the same rate I did before a new company took it over since I was already a member. I do exercise at home & always have in between my gym days. But I love going to the gym. It's my special just for me get away place. I"ve been going to the same gym for 30+ years & it's 3 blocks away & has a year round outdoor pool. I haven't gone due to legit medical reasons that started it but I can go now & I did this morning & I feel GOOD!! I will not pay attention to those thoughts as best I can. I'm the kind of person who feels better the more I move that's why I chose the kinds of work that kept me on my feet most of the day. I'm mostly retired now so can choose the time I want to go for the most part.

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Tabatha the fires unfortunately are still going strong in Canada. The air quality depends on which way the wind blows when it comes to the fires. Here we were warned this was going to be the norm all summer. Just waiting for the wind to change direction again.

    Today has been a cooler, breezy day. The smoke is still in the air. Went for my walk this morning and had troubles getting my hip to cooperate with the plan. But did get it to. Then went with Hubby and our friend so they could go fishing. I hung out and also went for a short walk that I didn't track outside of steps as my phone was forgotten at home. After we got home I did my planned workouts and had a short visit with my friend this afternoon. Also did laundry, dishes and some reading. Tomorrow is TOPS. Not sure how the scale will react but it will be what it is.

    @Tabatha_Cain .. I haven't been on a motorcycle for years, but they are fun.

    @Patti241 .. Good afternoon!

    @Evamutt .. Good for you. Enjoy your time at the gym.

    Good afternoon everyone, I hope your Monday is going well and you are getting a lot accomplished as best you can. It's a warm day here and did some domestic engineering and what not and now just enjoying some free time. Still have to get some steps in but can do that later, after dinner.
    @Tabatha_Cain I order my vitamins from Vitamart - I get webber naturals Women's 50+Complete Multi vitamin which is one a day and I prefer one a day- I also take 1,000 UI Vitamind3 and that also is webber naturals but that I can buy in a drug store with no issues. I do like the webber line. it's too bad your walmart is not a good store to go to, maybe one by the parents would be better? or across the boarder ? lol How's Joe doing, is his meds finally working for him to function? Sounds like you had a great bike ride !
    @CSEGUIN2 it's a shame about all the wild fires going on in Canada - it's like the whole country is on fire but really I think I read, like 10,000 acres have burnt now - in BC the military has been called in to help - it's so bad. In Vancouver we are not getting the smoke at all - as you said it depends on the direction of the wind and the wind right now is coming from SW so nothing from the north where the fires are. We do have water restrictions because we are so dry. Some care, some do not. Sounds like you had a nice day today.
    @Evamutt I enjoy thinking about being a rocking chair grandma but not today - I will keep moving as long as these legs will get up and move and when they stop, then I will enjoy the rocking chair time. It will let me do some decent reading and not feel too guilty about it or the dust bunnies LOL Glad you enjoy going to the gym!

    Yesterday most of the family was here and today our granddaughter will come over to see her Uncle. We had the car towed to Christian brothers auto place, recommended by 3A, they are the ones who towed us. Haven't found out yet how long it will take to get it fixed. David drove me to Tyler so we could rent a car. He will be back over here later then they are off tomorrow to finish up their vacation. So not too much exercise etc. but had a great time. I just got off phone with our daughter Joell, she is starting to feel better, thank the Lord. Hugs all.
