Hey all~~
Today my back is protesting. So far only 2 miles. It is what it is.

Here I am, serially starting again. Pushing for this to be my longest rodeo.... Y'know, one that lasts for the rest of my life. I finally got some health issues diagnosed, and all of them can be improved with diet, exercise, and the weight loss that follows. So, back onto the bronco I go.
Today I'm at about 1280 calories for the day and hope to end the day under 2000 for the first time in months. I'll be exercising tonight too, even if it's only like 10-20 minutes.
I've lost weight before, I can do it again. It's just hard to stay motivated when I work a full-time job that likes to zap my energy. I've given myself a lot of grace on not following my goals because of my mental health, but I know need to focus and do what's necessary for me to live a long and healthy life like I deserve to do.6 -
Good evening,
I wanted to post last night but dr dilates my eyes so strongly that the screen glare is hard to take.
Lana - I wish I had a flame thrower. I just applied for an internal transfer and I have done the work before but it was 20 years ago....I think that still counts. I can describe the process....
Packer - I would be a lot thinner if I had not eaten so much ice cream this summer. I would be thinner but absolutely grumpy. Quality of life during our weight loss is mandatory.
Rho - my job is exhausting as well. What can you do to lessen the effects of your job?
It is almost Friday - I have 60 cookies to divide up and put into bags and take to work tomorrow. I said if we made goal I would make cookies. We did and so did I.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -

Good morning all~~
It's the last day of vacation. Boo hoo. But it's been a good trip. I am grateful.
Sara - I am excited and hopeful for you to get a transfer. A change would be great!
In the meantime, fly under the radar in stealth mode.
The Cabana Boys are setting up for our usual Friday Happy Hour. Foot massages and umbrella drinks for all~ 🌴⛱️🍹
Waves to all who stop by today~~

Good morning and happy Friday everyone. We’re going camping this weekend so I won’t be online. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and I’ll check in with everyone on Monday.2

Good morning all. Did 2.6 miles on my walk. So tempted to shove comfort food in my mouth after sad and pitiful game last night. I do have fresh baked cookies. Maybe I’ll just have a few and not the whole plate. 🤭 Hope everyone has a great day!!!2
-
Good evening,
Packer - can you freeze those cookies and nibble on them for the next few days? Great walk and that is not an easy length. That is usually what I get done in a day (buttocks stuck on chair at computer rest of day).
Lisa -camping is wonderful (did it when I was a child). Fresher air, long walks - good for your soul/spirit to get away. I hope you have a great time.
Lana - those cboy umbrella drinks will hit the spot tonight. Time to dance the night away. Glad you enjoyed your trip.

I didn’t know you can freeze cookies. How long can they stay in the freezer?

Hi all lovely people,
I just restarted my diet routine, 3rd day today. I'm following the FAST800 programme plus I reduce my carb intake to about 30g net carb/day.
Been having dreams of me eating food, cakes to be specific. Haha. In the past when I restricted my calorie or did water fasting, I also had dreams of food.
Does anyone here experience the same?

Good evening,
Packers - most cookies can be frozen.
Can most homemade cookies be frozen?
Make-Ahead Cookie Baking Tips: Freezing Cookies | Land O'Lakes
For cookies that are already baked, here's how to freeze them successfully for up to two months. Be sure the cookies are completely cooled before freezing. Place the cookies into an airtight container lined with aluminum foil or plastic food wrap. For best results, wrap the cookies individually in plastic food wrap.
Anything like puff pastry based cookies are not recommended to freeze. The paragraph above is Google. I only use large enough zip lock freezer bags and in my house no cookie lasts that long frozen or otherwise, so I dont have to worry about freezer burn
Hair colored and the large wide white roots are no gone for awhile. Bought pork bulgogi to make for a meal tomorrow and Monday

Good evening,
September went by a little faster than I am used to. My to do list for October is set so no new art projects until then.
Not a lot of steps and it is still light out, so wandering I go.

Good morning all~
Sara - yes, September flew away quickly. Good for you on getting out later in the day to add up those steps!
I need to get some walking in this morning.

Good evening,
I have been waiting to announce for this for a long time -- I am in a pound "decade" I have not seen since COVID. Keep up the hard work, it will pay off.
I have to cook up my pork bulgogi and take a nice shower and then be a zombie for the rest of the evening

Wow Sara - Big Congratulations on your being in a lower "decade"! That is so great!

Good evening,
I got a phone call from a woman at work to set up an interview for a job I applied for. I will ask my manager what to do. The lady does not like Dragon and she called me at home. I am going to forever play phone tag this way. We shall see what we shall see.
It is a Mac and cheese kind of dinner day.

Good morning all~~
Sara - It is significant that the woman called you at home. Be careful. Sending good vibes.
I've got a million things to do, but I just want to play around and day dream..... time to get out for a walk!
Waves to all who stop by later on 🌼

Good evening,
Day dreaming when walking helps pass the time. Keep up the good work.
The same lady has another job that I applied for today. She does NOT like dragon and that may be why she called me at home. So I can either do well or bust on both of them. Fun stuff my brain.

*** October 5 ***
Hey Sara - you have two possibilities for a different position? Do you have to interview?
I've got to get out there for a walk. I know I say that a lot, but I do the getting out there after I do things online at my desk in the morning..... Today I've decided to go on a "nosey Parker" walk around the neighborhood. When I drive through quickly, I don't get a chance to really look, you know?

Good evening,
Lana - 2 different jobs in same department. One processed claims and one deals with insurance benefits. One I can do well, the other one I have done just not as much. One would be working from home and one would be at worksite. Both jobs have the same manager and would require an interview.
Got my steps in after work. Lady at the cafe's mother died last night. Korean family - the flower to give is the Chrysanthemum (white or yellow). I went to Lowes and got a Bright Yellow flowering plant. I also got wood polish and then walked to Panera ( in same parking lot) and bought 2 bagels. Dinner for 2 nights and 6k done. Worked out well.
Keep up the good work walking.

Happy Friday,
Did not get my steps and I just have to let go of it and aim for tomorrow.
Hope everyone has a great evening.
Stay safe and stay sane.0 -
*** October 7 ***
Happy Friday!!
Sara - Thanks for the breakdown. How do you feel about working from home? It could be unhealthy and isolating, and it could be very productive, successful, and peaceful. Sending you good vibes for good interviews. 💚
Another gloomy day here today. Time for a shower, breakfast, and a walk.
*Cabana Boys will be having a sunny Friday Happy Hour ⛱️🌴*

Apologies for totally going haywire yesterday on what day it wasn't. That was a doozie!
So happy Sunday to all 🌼
Today's weigh in (at home) wasn't good because of how I veered off of the path of healthy eating. Dang.
I'm dusting myself off and starting this week with a fresh attitude.

Good evening,
Got a nice part of my to do list done. Which is helpful as it was getting on my nerves. Have most of my meals set up already - with any luck my grocery delivery tomorrow after work will help. Sometimes it's best not to hold your breath.
Temps going back down into the Fall like area, for how long I do not know.
Steps not inspiring, but cant be a superstar every day.

Good morning all~~
Sara - that's cute about the superstar. You are a superstar every day in other ways~ 🏆🩷
I couldn't sleep.... woke up at 4AM!
Routine dermatology appointment this morning, then helping a friend, and then maybe a nap this afternoon.
I've been reading about insulin resistance. I think I have that, so that's motivation to change some of the foods I regularly eat. I'm looking for more higher fiber foods. I do love lentils and black beans, and they are good for this....

Good evening,
Change in air pressure and cloud cover clogged the sinuses and gave me a nagging headache. Bad news it did not rain.
Got 5k and that may just be what it is.
Lana hope your apt goes well. Beans and Lentils are very versatile, so good idea to add them in more often.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

Good evening,
Long day. I am going to take a friends advice and act super happy at work just to improve my workday.
Does pizza have invisible little weights attached to it so that when you eat it you gain weight?

*** October 11 ***
Here we are at the middle of the week~
Sara - I've been told and also have read that acting happy can have some real benefits! Try it for a week and see if it helps to cheer you up for real 🤗
I don't feel great this morning, but I'm going to jump in the shower and see if this old body can get all engines started up ....
