The new furniture looks great. I like the closeness of the colors. They blend nicely and I think they produce a nice serene atmosphere.

Greetings: Got Through the weekend. Had a much better day today than yesterday. I've managed to stay w/in my calorie goal but used most of them for a sugar fix of the way home from work. Better and more healthy day today. The weather was beautiful got to the summer cottage for DH to do some work on the place. I'll attach a…

Today is the first day that I was able to do 30min. In my exercise machine. When I first started, I would be short of breath after 10 min. I feel good about getting as far as I have. My step tracker says 10,000 steps should be my goal. At this rate I would need to spend 90. Min. on the machine! I think I'll set my goal to…

Karen What a great picture! DH is off to get one of our feral garage cats neutered. Orion has been a regular this winter. DH was able to trap him Monday & got a spot on the list of the Spaymobile thus morning; which for feral cats is free. As for me off to a meeting on Cape Cod for the morning. Meeting ends w/lunch out. I…

Hope Eliza feels better soon.

Thanks for posting your goals. I don't usually say mine publicly. Today I'll make an exception. 1) Log my food daily. 2) Exercise 5 days per week. 3) Set an alarm when I'm working on my computer every 2 hours to remind me to get up and walk around. 4) Pray Daily 5) Read 30 chapters of my Bible weekly.

Back on the elliptical today. I starte with only 5 min. X2 per day. Added a minute to each last week and did the same today. 7 min. 2xs per day doesn't feel like much but this is how I got to a half hour 2years ago. Trying not to let negative thoughts. Seep into my routine.

Hi Everyone, Thanks Barbie for starting the new thread. This weekend we will move to the summer house on the river. I have been holding off grocery shoping until we move. DH has finished the repairs on the kitchen for this year, so all that's left to do there is cleaning. July and August should be a bit slower than the…

Hi Everyone, Patceoh The pictures of the lilies look beautiful. Stormlover33 Welcome to the group. Vickil57 glad you're felling better. Each day is a new beginning.

My new boss was voted in last Saturday and Starts August. 24th (same day I begin…

Hi Everyone, CarolSounds like a lovely Memorial Day celebration. Sorry your glasses needed to be redone. DH had that happen the 2nd pair were perfect. You're right about the chinese food. Becoming mor familiar w/the calories in foods is an eye opener for me. Lillian Glad the fire is out. Although we had an over abundance…

If I park next door to the Dr.'s office it's$30. I might try to lunch and do some work in town. I'll see how the day unfolds. CynthiaSorryyour so sick. Hope you feel…

Hi Everyone, Busey day today. I did ok food wise. I thought I'd be working from home all day but instead ended up w/a 80 mile round trip drive because of a meeting I nearly forgot. All in all not bad except I am very far behind in answering calls and e-mails. Tomorrow I finally get the stitches out of my back

Hi Everyone, Mary glad you got tested. Waiting is always hard. Yay for making progress w/the house. Barbie 19K steps good for you. Michelle I am always careful when accepting friend requests from folks With whom I have had no previous interactions, or have no friends in common. I have some single friends that are more open…

Hi Everyone, It's been a while since I've posted. Trying to catch-up w/ everyone's thoughts and activities. Carey Tex mex spuds - sound good. I don't know if I would have the discipline to eat only half of the potato though. Pip California - One of my favorite places and I have not been in a long while. (I'm trying not to…

Hi Everyone, Been swamped for a few days. Been making less than healthy choices but keep trying. Behind in reading too but wanted to check in. Tomorrow is a new day Naiomi2015 in 55F Massachusetts

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to check in before I close my eyes. 200 mile road day today. (In New England sized states that a lot of territory.) A good day today. Went back to where I worked nearly 30 years ago. Had the chance to speak w/ the person in my old position. He told me about a number of things he is implementing,…

Hi Everyone, Grandmallie Sorry your shoping trip was so difficult. Our destination was actually Wareham but he meandered all the way to Brewster and got to see the herring running at an old grist mill turned into a nature preserve. Never did find the flea market but had a really nice day. Welfleet is beautiful. I havn't…

Hi Everyone, Carey Thanks for your encouragement. Took your advise and spoke w/ DH and said that even though I was not a mother I would like to do something special & fun today. after giving it some thought he suggested we go for a ride to Cape Cod and visit a flee market that was advertised. He's getting ready and I'm…

Hi Everyone, Back from an evening out at a work related function. We had a nice time... Good people and I like to smooz The speeches were disappointing but at least I did not get into any heated discussions. Not sure how to count the calories. Food was delish but all various types of ethnic dishes. For example grilled fish…

Hi Everyone, I'm trying some new allergy meds. Just over the counter stuff one of my friends suggested. I feel a bit better and not as knocked out as yesterday. I'm starting to eat more protein. It is not at all easy for me to meet the guideline. However just trying has increased my weight loss. Linda Welcome! Glad you…

Hi Everyone, Allergeries are really bothering today. Haven't felt like this in a while. Over the years my allegories get worse the more stressed I get. Work has settled on a candidate for my bosses position. I have made a suggestion re:how the district leaders might be able to meet her and how the staff might meet her too.…

Hi Everyone, Sylvia you described those tender moments w/your husband so vividly. Thanks. Leatan48 Congrats on the persistence and the results. HeatherUK Election night has always been an event. Sometimes we've been w/friend at their campaign party. Growing up my family always watched both party's conventions and waited up…

Hi Everyone, Long few days. I was way over on my calories yesterday. Was at a class all day and took 2furbabies for their doctor's appointment. I am sooooo tired. I find it much harder to stayw/in my calori count when all I want to do is sleep. Today a friend is coming to help me w/my quilted window shade. I had hoped to…

Hi Everyone, I just have a few min. before I need to get ready for today's scheduled events. Got home last night & put my red dress in the wash to get it ready for today's installation. (Red is the color to symbolize the Holy Spirit - so clergy usually wear a red stole at ordinations and installations. I don't wear the…
