@Sableness LOL Did you know when you answer someone and do not hit POST it doesn't work? OOOPS I did that last night!! SO SORRY!!! I forgot to hit POST REPLY!!! OH I ADORE Egg nog, but yeah it takes to much of a toll!! I look for a small container of it and try to stick to just that!! I had done the No Evening Eating also, but I do not go to bed til 2-2:30 AM. I used to work til 11:30. If I eat right before 10 PM I do so much better, of course, that means leaving enough calories for 10 PM! Awww HI Eve!!! Izzy and Oscar do also. Did you know I got Oscar? It's been a year, he was 9 months old when he adopted me. Izzy (Brown/black tabby) Oscar is the orange one. Izzy is 14, she was NOT happy, but has adjusted.

@CateAussie, ENJOY the wine, so glad you are with us!! Its a great way to lose weight and not on our own, with guidance and support!!
@Dgrodis , Oh I get that!! I live in Maine! We surpassed all rain records by the 6th of March. I think we are all growing DUCK FEET!! If you'd like to send the rain from PA in another direction,, LOL We'd thank you!!! WELCOME to the SPRING 5% Challenge!!
@Macrat12, here's something I did today and reading your quote reminded me of it.
A question for ALL Of us!
***** What would your older self say to your younger self?*****

I'd tell younger self "Diane, life is not fair, you already know this. BUT what you do not know is how strong you are!! And you are!! Believe in yourself and love yourself. If you can learn now to love yourself, it'll save you much heartache later on. However, those trails are making you very strong. In the end Diane, believe me, you are going to be so strong and happy! WAIT TIL YOU SEE THIS!"
@Evamutt, I've felt so bad for CA this year!! WOW!! I have friends north Sacramento and also of Chico, it's been unreal!! I hope this cuts way down on the fires. LOVE LOVE LOVE the dogs and WOOHOO on cleaning up the yard!
@Kurtize you are a HOT TICKET!! TY TY TY TY for stepping up to being a leader with our team Positively Strong 4 Life!! Joyce is so sweet and kind, for those new to the 5% Challenge this is exactly we look for in leaders!! Always ask (once on your team) your leaders ANY Questions you have. The only foolish question there is, is the one that's not asked!!

Good morning everyone

Good morning everyone.

We had our first visit with our new dr. He is very nice and both of us liked him. He ran the usual blood work and I will be scheduled for a vascular test. Other than that not much new here, weather is nice, slight breeze. Hugs all and hope you have a great rest of the day. For the 1st day of spring not bad.
But here you never know what tomorrow will bring.

hugs and blessings

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and it is going to be a great day. Today we have free food for lunch today and I was able to convince people to eat somewhere healthy instead of junk. We all decided on subway for employee appreciation day. It is pretty cool. So I am so ready for that lunch. It will be great.

@Kurtize - Was yesterday the first day of spring? I don't even pay attention anymore. Isn't it sad. It was so cold and windy yesterday. I am hoping it is, but some areas are still getting snow.
@Evamutt - Sometimes things don't always go as planned. Life has a way of taking control.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

Tabatha

Good morning.

@Evamutt , If only we knew the things ahead of time what we could do to prepare for in the way that we wish we had wow! If I could do it all again I would want to be a teacher. I'm glad you got to work in the ICU. Whatever what you did there was very needed. It still is no doubt. Thank you so much for helping others that we're going through a hard time. Support staff is still support staff no matter if it's cleaning floors, bringing trays, clerical it doesn't matter it's all extremely necessary to make it work. Thank you for that. As a senior I was able before the pandemic to be a *kitten* to grandmother in a second grade class. It would be on fun I am extremely grateful I got to do that. I know I don't often take it so I never know when to catch this one and it's always a gambler You should be able to do that
@Tabatha_Cain, Hi Tabitha welcome back. Lol lol from how we missed each other between the winter and spring change over. Hope you enjoyed lunch! I almost got nothing from there today but then I decided not to.
@Sableness, MyFitnessPal is really weird as far as putting in pictures. On my Android I can only do it on the news feed. But on my computer I cannot do it on a new speed but I can on everything else. I know there's a way to post them with an iPad if on the news feed You ask how somebody found it know. I would love to see Eve paws. She's so cute! I agree on not missing out on something that you want to do because of someone else.

@Dianedoessmiles1 - oh my goodness your kitties are sweet!

Does anyone know how we know if we've been accepted on a Team? I'm new to this group and am just wondering. I signed up for Rain Dancers.

I appreciate any info! Thanks

Have a great day everyone!

@Tabatha_Cain - I always thought the 1st day of spring was the 20th, then I saw google saying it is the first day of spring, when I checked further, it is either the 19th or 20th depending on where you live, one article said it was at 11:59 pm on the 19th. I learned something new. LOL

We finally found trees we both like, bought 2 of them, nice size and price, $167. 50 each. We had them delivered (no charge). Will take a picture of them, they are Nellie Stevens holly trees. Grows in height and width, grows in height about 2 feet a year. They are good for privacy and good wind blockers.
This Friday is the park's women's luncheon which I plan on attending. Nothing else new, Hugs and blessings.

Today's Daily quote inspiration:

Every decision you make - every decision - is not a decision about what to do.
It’s a decision about Who You Are.
When you see this, when you understand it, everything changes.
You begin to see life in a new way.
All events, occurrences, and situations turn into opportunities
to do what you came here to do.
- Neale Donald Walsch

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Thursday. Joe and I had church Life Group last night and we had a wonderful time. Things are going well. Today I start my medication for my new diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. So we will see how the medication works. I know it will take time to get into my system and do its job. So we will see how it goes. I am excited to get the pain to go away. I am starting on the base dose and then moving up from there. So we shall see. Today I will be out on the road doing some door dash. I am hoping to earn some decent money. It has not been easy this week. This weekend I think Joe and I are going to go to Palm Sunday service. That will be fun. Tomorrow I am back at the doctor to see if they will order an MRI of my back to see if I have a hairline fracture of my lower back since I fell on the 10th. The Chiropractor did x-rays and said it looks like a possible hairline fracture there.

@Sableness - Wow I assumed they were trouble, but did not realize they were dirty. They always look so nice. That is a good thing to say. So many times people don't want to do something because no one will go with them. I am in that category.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I have not figured out how to add a photo to my newsfeed. I cannot figure it out either way. So I am hoping someone can teach me. That would be nice.
@cory17 - That is so true. We do age so quickly. Congrats on the days off. Those are definitely needed.
@Kurtize - Yeah I just don't pay attention only because it does not change the weather. Here we have snowed all the way to the end of April so Spring really does not say much here. Yay on getting the trees. Those are expensive but they sound like they will be a really good tree.
@CateAussie - Very cute puppy. Weight loss is a mindset. Yes sometimes it really stinks when you need to choose to eat healthy versus eating junk. However it is so beneficial. My cholesterol is way down and I was pre diabetic and I am not anymore. I am in a really good range. So it is pretty amazing all the things eating right and healthy can do for your body.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.

Tabatha
