Good morning!

Still a little before noon here, so still morning! LOL

Quiet day here at the office. Kind of enjoying it. Going with the flow. Still looking forward to the weekend, even though we have zero plans.

I have jeans on and sneakers today so I am thinking I might sneak out for a bit to take a short walk around the parking lot this afternoon. Trying to get some steps in, since I know I spend a lot of time sedentary.

Hope your week is going well. See you soon. Almost time for lunch here! WOO HOO!

Good morning!

Happy Friday.

I know what you mean @KateNkognito and I have had those days myself!

Congrats on the losses! That is great! I am down .2 today which is not that big of a deal, BUT it brings me in to a new set of lower numbers which is nice. I will take it.

I am down 14.6 lbs since starting over in July. The odd but pleasant thing I have noticed is a loss each week, even if small. Like they say slow and steady wins the race! There was one week I didn't weigh and that was the week I was on vacation. I wore jeans yesterday and two weeks in a row my jeans are fitting more comfortably around the waist and tummy area. I have not measured, but I do feel I have definitely lost some inches.

I did have a nice little walk around the parking garage. I know a garage sounds creepy, but ours is pretty high up off the ground with lots of sunshine and light. There is a nice view of the highway (my nemesis).
I tend walk around the top floors and never in the basement. That is a little creepy down there. LOL The good thing though is that there are security cameras everywhere.

Working from home today and have a shingles vaccine booster at 11:00am. Also planning to get the grocery shopping done during lunch. Which pretty much frees up the entire weekend! What shall we do? Haven't figured that out yet.

I hope you have a good Friday and a nice day off on Monday! I am jealous. I wish our office closed on Veteran's Day sigh... At least I will be home vs in the office!

Have a good day and a nice weekend. See you soon!

Good morning! Happy Monday!

Thanks @KateNkognito I hope you have a nice day off today! A shout out to our Veterans! My Dad was one.

Weekend was mostly relaxing and good! We took a ride over to Wal-Mart on Saturday with a list of food items needed for a local food pantry. Our office is gathering up items to contribute. I love doing these types of things! We spent around $50 and I am feeling good about it. They didn't ask for anything Thanksgiving related, mostly just pantry staples. Figured Wal-Mart gives the best bang for the buck and it didn't disappoint!

Saturday for dinner we decided to make a meatloaf and I made mashed potatoes and green beans with it. So yummy!

Yesterday afternoon we watched the movie on Apple TV called "Wolfs" with George Clooney and Brad Pitt. SO FUN!!!

Hope you had a nice relaxing weekend. We sure did. I like to clean and organize too sometimes. It is good for the mind.

We have not been walking as much lately. To be honest, BF seems less motivated lately to walk and / or lose weight. I think it is because of slow losses or in his case a gain and a loss and over and over. Bah. But he is tracking via "the other app" which is good. I feel like he was most happy when we were on keto. I can't do keto and I won't do it because it is too limiting. What I would do or can do is eat less carbs. Just have to figure out how to incorporate that. Eating rice with a lot of the things I make is a big carb hit. Sigh.

Today is quiet. Not a holiday for us but feels like one. I am kind of between projects, so it has been quiet. I am not minding it.

Hope you have a great day! See you soon.

Good morning!

Looks like I just missed you here @KateNkognito LOL!

Too funny about the window cleaning and ladders. Not my cup of tea either! Good idea with the ear buds for the noise! I hope they help! Ugh. Construction that should be done after hours, so it doesn't interfere with people working!

Reminds me of when I lived in a more down town area in an apartment with an ex BF. The shopping center right across the street from our complex decided that they needed to build a gym with a swimming pool during the night time hours, so it wouldn't interfere with the businesses that were underneath it during the day. REALLY!? So none of us are allowed to sleep because you must run a jack hammer at night!? WTF. Now that I know noise ordinances better, I would complain ASAP if something happened like that again. Sigh.

Last night the traffic was crazy and there was an accident on the southbound side of the highway. A car had rolled over, there were injuries and they CLOSED the highway for a few exits, right by where I get off. Even though I am using the northbound side of the highway, it took me almost an hour to get home and that is only ten miles distance. I am planning to start leaving the office fifteen minutes early at night going forward. It is just so crazy out there with people driving too fast, darkness due to returning to standard time, and rush hour. So stressful.

Quiet here and enjoying it. Hope you have a good day.

Hello!

Happy Friday!

Your Turkey Day plans sound great @KateNkognito ! I know what you mean about feeling a little festive this year. I am feeling the same! Last year's Christmas day pretty much stunk, but I was still reeling from the loss of my Dad and being home for the holidays instead of down in Florida with family. We thought about going to FL this year but decided not to. Just too pricey and dealing with flying at Christmas time can oh so fun. I also want my BF to be able to spend Christmas with his parents. They are getting older and his Dad will turn 90 in March! Life is so short, as we know.

Taco Bell, yummy. Enjoy your lunch! Turkey wrap for me today, like usual. I think I might sprout feathers some day by all the poultry we eat.

LOL at the GPS! I love it.

The good thing about working remotely on Fridays is no traffic to deal with. Weee!

Stayed the same on the scale this week but okay for now. Better than a gain.

Hope you have a great weekend! We are low key again. Going to get our shopping done at BJ's and Aldi so we don't have to deal with the Thanksgiving shoppers next weekend. Hopefully that works!

See you soon.

Good morning!

Happy Monday!

Another relaxing weekend in the books here.

We went to BJ's and Aldi on Saturday and picked up a bunch of "big" groceries like milk and stuff. We like to do that every few weeks. I also like the turkey the best at BJ's. They have Dietz & Watson and they always have electronic coupons for a $1.00 or $1.50 off. Much cheaper than the grocery store and better quality.

We got our official invite to our friend's house for Thanksgiving and we accepted. That will be fun and it means I don't have to cook. Not that I mind that much because the food for Thanksgiving is one of my favorites! They said they will let us know what we can bring. I am happy to contribute in any way because they have a lot of expenses with a kid in college and another in private school.

Looks like you just posted too just now, because I got a notification! LOL I will post this so I can comment.

Happy Wednesday!

Oh boy, this day flew! Yesterday afternoon was crazy and up until now it is been pretty steady busy.

Thank you so much for the app, @KateNkognito! Downloading as I type this! LOL Sounds exactly like what I think will help me and would work for me.

Glad the noise is less!

Supposed to rain tonight, tomorrow and a little more on Friday and we are super happy because we are in a HUGE drought and there are wild fires burning north and west of me. Fingers crossed that the rain helps.

Stay warm! Going to head home now and hopefully avoid some traffic. See you soon!
