    Happy Friday,

    Boss gone again on another vaca - we have a to do list for every day.

    Gyno went okay. Now have to get ultrasound will call for apt next week.

    Food- not bad walking okay. Have chocolate in the house. Things are improving.

    Our state set a minimum wage for health care workers and the company I work for decided that my job qualifies so I got a $2 an hour wage (means I have been working for peanuts for a long time). Sup could not say or do a thing except tell me that it starts June 1.

    Long week and I am looking forward to sleeping in a little. Hair cut,facial, and pedicure tomorrow so that is a good way to spend a day.

    100 temps on their way next week - bring out the skirts.

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

    Sara- glad you are getting a raise! Stinks they didn’t act on it sooner. How was spa day? Good luck with ultrasound!

    Lana- how is NC?

    Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! Yesterday was a busy one! Went with my works hiking club to a backpacking class they held. Hiked 1.6 miles to the camp and 1.6 miles back. I learned a lot! I’m hoping to get a basic backpack and gear together to start going on their backpacking trips in the future. I still have to get in better shape to handle some of their trips. A group of them made it a weekend trip on top of the class. I didn’t stay overnight to camp 🏕️ still have to get a tent or hammock and all the other necessities to do so. As well as find a dog sitter.

    Plans for today are church, Zumba, finish up my presentation for my class, and get laundry and food ready for the week. Now that I have my permanent crown on I can get back to eating normal again.

    What is everyone up to this weekend? Hopefully you all are getting to enjoy the weather! Welcome to June ☀️

    ~Missy

    Restart #374 ... But I have been at it a solid 3 weeks. They say it's habit making. And I didn't want to proclaim anything until the habit was established.

    Happy Sunday,

    Saturday nice relaxing day of hair cut,facial and pedicure. Baked bluevberry muffins in freezer, top parts and bottom parts. Box said to grease bottom of muffin pan, next time I do it the way I know.

    Sunday has been cooking Korean BBQ (more vegetables than meat). Those are in fridge for week.

    I have 20 stars crocheted which means if I make a couple other colors, I can trade out some of the less good looking ones.

    I will just have to wear skirts and drink lots of water this week as the heat is here.

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

    First full week of June! It’s definitely feeling like summer. Been in the 70’s for a few days now. But it is New England so it could be false summer lol

    Sara I like your plan. I’m going to have to dig for my skirts and summer clothes. I pack them away too good this year.

    Lana how was your weekend?

    @j_bark welcome!

    Good morning everyone~

    Missy - the seasons of New England is hilarious and accurate!

    Sara - So the muffins got stuck in the pan? Hopefully they are tasty in spite of that.

    Hello to J_Bark 👋🏻

    It is rainy and gloomy here this morning. Time to pour myself another Cup of Ambition ☕️.

    First the good news: my biopsy was negative for malignancy or any atypical cells. That was good news.

    For everything else, I'm hanging on by a thread. The fact I haven't posted in over a week is evidence. I didn't log much, either. I ordered food for lunch and dinner like 10 times over the past few weeks. I can't afford that financially or in terms of calorie intake. Gotta get back on the wagon NOW.

    So, creeping toward the end of another school year, but not there yet. I can't wait to be done.

    Best to all--hang in there.

    Good evening,

    Wicked little Monday spent 3 hours on help desk phone line - I had to do a bathroom break after I ''thought" it all was fixed - whoops no it locked me out again. Nothing as boring or tiring as being on hold.

    Not hot yet but heat warning starts tomorrow. Cold as a freezer at work - computer safety issue. Luckily a nice hot cup of coffee helps me.

    Got chicken Korean BBQ in freezer for meals last night. Muffins are fine just in 2 pieces and they taste really good.

    Short nap on the horizon.

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

    Good morning everybody ☀️

    I'm up in NYC. Today is dentist day for me--the last appointment for the new crowns.
    I will get some walking in, and then more crap abatement in the apartment! Yay!

    I ordered a lot of Chinese food yesterday, but it's mostly vegetables; I don't touch the rice that comes with it to balance out how much oil there is!

    How is everyone else doing?

    Good evening,

    its `103 out and I am inside where it is not so bad. Another dept had a gathering and a whole platter full of sandwiches. They left them with me. I took 2 vegetable ones and shared the rest. In this heat is is very nice and lots of spinach. The rest is rolling onto the floor and I will clean up when finally done.

    Lana -glad you are getting your crowns done and taken care of. Cleaning out stuff they say is good for you. I will do more this weekend and wait for the temps to come down. I tend to collect boxes from deliveries......

    Tomorrow is Thursday wow dragon less week goes by fast,

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

    Hi all. One day left with students. Whew.

    Sara, I hope you can stay cool. Hard to get in steps in extreme heat. I used to jog in my school during dangerous cold. Can you walk in your building?

    We have had a lot of heat recently—not spring any more. Today we have high winds and it’s not particularly cooling. And of course we’re under a severe storm threat, which is typical this time of day.

    I’ve done much better with my eating this week. Had a decent run, too, on Tuesday and not too severe pain since. Of course my frame of reference has shifted.

    Take care all.

    Hey, Lana, you’ve had a lot going on this winter/spring. Travel, dentist, visitors. It’s ok to stress a bit, haha. Just needs to be reined in eventually.

    Sara, how bad is the heat?

    I’m home alone for the first time in months. My sons went to celebrate their dad’s retirement. I’ll meet them at the beach in a few days when school is officially over.

    Anyway, I walked this am and then went to a little gem/mineral/jewelry/fossil fair. It was fun. Just did a second walk and got my 5 miles in today. It’s so much easier when I don’t have to work.

    I hope all of you are doing well.

    TTFN.

    Serial starter. I certainly belong here. :/ I used to come here all the time and it kept me committed to the straight and narrow. Then I had some health issues, pulled back from everything and have been struggling eversince.
    I couldn't find my previous log-in info so am here in new form. I've missed the people here, their sage advice and tremendous support, sense of humor.
    I'm hoping today, Day 1 sequel, will get me back to feeling better physically and mentally. I only have maybe 15# to relose but it's more than just the weight. It's the lack of self-worth and confidence that has gone along with it. The loss of empowerment and strength, not to mention now I'm a few years older. :(
    So, anyways, hoping to get back to being engaged once again, in a supportive healthy living group.

    Just wondering what happened to Slimgirljo? Is she still around?

    Hi, Jess. Welcome back. I lost a lot and then gained half back. Sigh.

    How’s everyone doing?
