I have to admit I do love me a good flea market or boot sale. I stopped at an estate sale. Now my sisters house has matching hangers. The whole house is the same. I looked at this huge box of pants hangers and thought good thing I'm not like my sister. Yep I bought them! I also bought a cane and a Vera Bradley purse. 10.00…

@Dianedoessmiles1 I had to laugh on your staying alive. When I wake up in the morning I always think. Well I was given another day let's make the best of it. God and I have an understanding. When it's my time I'm going no questions asked.

Well I put on 2 lbs as Mom pushed me over the edge. She hid the keys and It took me days to find them. I ate so much crap. Trying hard not to loose my cool. Mouth was full so I couldn't say anything I would regret. Now I'm mad at myself I really should just let it out rather than apply it to my waistline.

The why.. Because I definitely feel better when my weight is lower. Logging is hard for me. The problem being if I don't prioritize sleep. I don't do that. So I'm going to do both.

Tues was rough. I got through it and am back home. Getting through work was hard as I was tired. I'm going to bed early. Hope everyone is doing well.

My bookmarks keep disappearing what a bummer.

Okay I just did a restart with my laptop let's see if this posts. I went out and did the shopping for my folks bright and early this morning. I found ice cream with only 5 ingredients for mom and pie for dad. I have also found some children's plates, bowls and cups at a garage sale. We need senior friendly items and I…

@alphafitchick1P I know what your talking about. I feel like I post and not sure where it goes. Like I logged my weight on Thursday as internet is spotty at my folks. Checked this morning and nothing was there.

I guess the wellness class did some good. I thought twice about everything I ate today.

@Dianedoessmiles1 You can imagine they have an image on the screen of all the food I have eaten recently. Then ask what's wrong with the Oreo. I said certainly nothing with the chocolate. The room gasped. Then she said have you eaten these items? I said why yes I have. She goes oh my it's lucky your not dead. Lol as with…

I took a class at a wellness center about how bad sugar is for you. Did they convince me to give up sugar? Nope I went home to my pudding cup. I had it plain without redi whip. I guess it did influence me. Lol

First day of swim and the pool was loaded. I don't mind the people in the pool it's a busy locker room that bothers me. The locker room is tiny. Maybe 9x12 one shower. I'm totally comfortable in say my underwear and bra. Totally naked not so much I am comfortable if everyone's just getting dressed all facing the lockers.…

Thinking of everyone with cats today. I purchased a few toys for the cats in my life. I took in all the stuff and before I had all the bags in my moms cat snuggs was in the bag picking out what she wanted. Now this cat doesn't play with toys. She just hordes them. My mom kept saying you need to share. She was like hell no!…

Weight goal loose 2/4 lbs Fitness goal exercise 3 days a week nutrition track food lower the sugar intake. why? I want to be the very best me

Rule was at our house no swimming till school was over. But we could run in the rain. Do kids even do that? I don't remember my daughter ever doing it. Granted we didn't have computers or video games. I used to hate weeding as a kid but love it as an adult. I love the quietness of just weeding early in the morning before…

@Dianedoessmiles1 I was just thinking about how when I was young nobody had air conditioning. Everyone went to the mountains for a week to cool off. Went to the local beaches and lived on popsicles. Not even fruit popsicles they were The big box of cherry,grape and orange flavored popsicles. Do they even make those…

@Dianedoessmiles1 Our pool is a brand new olympic size pool. Only a few years old it was agreed to build right before the pandemic. Took the whole pandemic plus a year to get it done. We don't have a hot tub but it is handicap accessible with a ramp. Our Rec dept does run it in the summer and thus the hours get changed. Oh…

Wed: Well I took a few vacation days and am already at my folks house as we have things that need to be done. I am really hoping to get everything done today at their home so I can get things done at my house too. We have had some beautiful weather but I am expecting rain while I am off as it is my vacation mojo this year…

@Dianedoessmiles1 It helped a lot. It is something I try to do everyday. When I am getting overwhelmed my coworkers even say you need to go do your breathing and refocus. When I think about my breathing. I think fresh air in bad MOJO out. Usually 1/2 way through my thoughts are gone and I'm just focused on the breathing.

@Dianedoessmiles1 hardest but the one I needed the most was take 20 min to breathe

@Ceriusly1 Love the outside furniture. I always wished I had a yard or porch where I could do outside furniture. Years ago my Dad and I said if my mom passed we would get a swim spa. Nobody thought he would be the one I am caring for and I would never bring anything onto the property that could cause him harm. Looking for…

My goals are less weight related and more health care. As I am a care giver and still work full time it's time to put my health needs first. Sleep is priority number 1. increase water Stretch every day Hopefully get back to swimming by May.

This challenge helped me immensely. I lost the 5% and have friends I can chat with about life. Had I not been chatting I probably would have gained weight. This group is like the Ultimate accountability challenge back in 2015. If you were part of them or would like to join a community that cares this is the group for you.
