Made it through a short but blisteringly hot first week of the semester. The thunderstorms finally arrived this afternoon, bringing a welcome drop in temperature and freeing me from the task of watering the garden. Exercise looks unlikely. Just as well since I'm exhausted. Recap: Thursday, September 7 Log - :) Healthy food…

Well, the end of August passed in a blur - a week with the younger grandkids, some last minute adventures with the older ones, a couple of professional development workshops, and a few days down with a stomach bug. All of a sudden it's the start of a new semester and I'm playing catch-up with chores, an overgrown garden,…

Back from vacation with my daughter and her boys but not back on track yet. We all had a wonderful time kayaking and crabbing on the Eastern Shore, getting golf lessons from my father-in-law in Annapolis, and exploring Fort McHenry and the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Perhaps most fun of all was the epic…

I had a nice visit with my mom yesterday. She hasn't been getting out a lot, so she was especially happy to see my daughter and her boys. She had tacos for the kids, and I brought along the ingredients to make a tart with some of the gorgeous multi-hued heirloom tomatoes I'd picked up at the farmer's market. A zillion…

Off to visit Mom today. My weather app says 100% chance of rain, but I'm hoping we'll be able to squeeze in some of her errands before it starts. Exercise looks doubtful, and I'm kicking myself for not earlier walking this morning. Oh, well. Recap - Wednesday, August 9 Log - :) Healthy food choices - :) Under calorie limit…

@Snowflake1968 - So very sorry for your family's loss. My heart aches for your daughter and for you.

I had a such a wonderful day with my two older grandsons and their mom in the part of NY where I grew up. We started at the zoo, drove through my old neighborhood, had pizza and Italian ices at my favorite places, and took a long walk through the park, stopping to poke around in the brook. The kids loved it, and I had to…

Today I'm squeezing in a day trip to with my daughter and the boys before heading down to the beach for a concert. I'll try to catch up later.

Today was a rare gift - a day completely to myself. I was up early and the weather was so lovely that I decided to head down to the beach for a peaceful morning walk. Stopped at the farmer's market on the way home, picked up some fresh basil and gorgeous heirloom tomatoes, and made a quick caprese salad for lunch. It was…

Hi JFT friends! I haven't caught up on all your news yet, but I wish the best for each of you. I stopped posting in April when things were just too crazy. I just kept putting off getting back to it, but this is where I need to be. My weight and BP are up after too many months of poor food choices, little exercise, and…

Busy day, so I'm posting late. I didn't get my exercise in, but at least I got my errands done. The weather has been really lovely this week, so this evening my daughter and I took the boys to Jazz in the Park - such a relaxing way to end the day :) Recap - Wednesday, August 2 Log - :) Healthy food choices - :) Under…

Restart after a long hiatus. JFT Monday, August 1 Log Healthy food choices Under calorie limit Hydrate Exercise

April got off to a bumpy start and promises to be challenging, both logistically and personally. I was way over on calories yesterday. My daughter had another divorce mediation session and I let the stress get to me. At least I got in a decent walk with my grandsons. They're off this week for Spring Break, and I was able…

Spending most of the weekend at my mom's without much opportunity for exercise. But I made it through an entire month of daily logging and dropped a few pounds - a bright spot in a stressful time.

Spent yesterday at Mom's. We enjoyed the time reminiscing and having a quiet dinner. Still, no opportunity to exercise or get stuff done at home. Otherwise I did pretty well with logging, hydrating, and making healthy choices. Today I'm off to cheer on my son's robotic's team. After about 10 years in industry, he's in his…

I didn't get around to posting yesterday, but I stuck to my basic goals, even squeezing in a walk after classes. The weather has been lovely this week, so my daughter and I took the boys to the park. They mucked about in the stream and came home half covered in mud, but it was a joy to see them so relaxed and happy. Recap…

After a busy Saturday helping my husband with projects, running down to Mom's for a few hours, and providing some emotional support to my daughter who's still in the midst of a very stressful divorce process, I was wiped out last night. So I was up extra early this morning making a flourless chocolate cake for my sister's…

@Bex953172 and @PackerFanInGB - Happy Birthday! I wish I had more time to comment this morning, as I know many of you are dealing with such difficult situations.

It was so nice to visit my older son, daughter-in-law, and younger grandchildren this past weekend. We took our daughter and her boys down with us - it was a nice break for all of us after a challenging week. Then back from our whirlwind trip to find that my mom had another fall, her fourth in four months, this time…
