Good morning, all, Had to go get blood work for prescription renewals. Blood pressure was high because my arms are fat again. I've been doing better with only small cheats. Today is a new day. Meal prep tonight. Taco pie for the rest of the week. Welcome, Sawjer. Let us know if you need any tips or tricks. We have a wide…

Thursday, June 18th Sara-- {{{{ Hugs }}}} I wish I had answers for you. You may rant here all you like. I will listen. Message me if you would like to rant privately. Maybe today will be better. Tracy

The little friend has been returned to the wild.

I get the strange and dirty looks while wearing my mask too. Yesterday, I saw our county Mayor (we have Mayors for each city and a Mayor to oversee the unincorporated areas of the county) in Kroger with a mask on under his chin. ?!?! What ?!?! way to set an example. Here's a bit of funny to alleviate your midweek boredom…

Sara, Make your quiche anyway. Without the crust. Coat your pie pan with olive oil. Mix your quiche ingredients and pour in. Bake as usual. I promise it will be so yum, you won't miss the crust. Alternatively, if you have mashed potatoes, I have used them as a crust before. Season with a little extra salt and some garlic…

Friday Dearest Sara, So very sorry for your loss. You were the best mommy she could have had. Hugs. Tracy

You are correct, Lynn! Our bodies don't always cooperate. If they did, I could eat bread and ice cream every day without pain or weight gain. :D Lost a lot of water weight yesterday. CW 208.2 (-5 lbs) HW 222 (in 2018) GW 190 by November

Good morning, all! Dawn--Hugs. It is hard to raise family. Especially when they are "adults." Sara--Hope Miss Tillie feels better. Some events this weekend have given me a little motivation to clean up my food intake a little. Famous Serial Starter words--No sugar, No grains from today forward. The main event was…

So sorry about Miss Tillie. Hurts my heart when furbabies are ill. I'm still around--and getting rounder every day. Taking a break that currently has no end date. I read every day and keep up with the board. Best to all of you!

I make these all the time. The bacon amount is basically however much you have on hand or how much you would like in your quiche. Personally, I would use 6 ounces of bacon if making 6 quiches. One hint: add the bacon to each individual muffin cup rather than mixing into the egg mixture. You control how much meat is in each…

Good morning, all, Answering Maureen's request also. My daughter, Kayla, turned 30 yesterday. Works for a finance company and is going to LPN school at night. This is her third and final run at higher education. She understands if she bombs it this time, she has to give up and be content making a living with whatever jobs…

Good morning! As seen on the internet: We are all in the same storm, but we are not in the same boat. Lana, I can understand the feelings of isolation. However, as an introvert who got in way over her head on the social front, I am loving this. Once we joined the Moose Lodge plus my bowling league, I was rarely home except…

We have had some pretty high winds today. They are to continue through tomorrow, but so far, so good. I spent more than 6 hours today scrubbing my entire kitchen. My daughter came over to help when she got off work. I have another 10-12 hours more work to do in that room, I am ashamed to say. However, I am extremely…

Peep. Struggling. Thank you all for being a bright light.

Beginning Week 4 working from home. Most likely will not go back to the office until May. Difficulty to overcome today--California requires "wet signature" bonds. The bonds are coming from our producer today. They will be received at the plant (who are working.) but no one is in the office to sign them and ship them back…

Good morning, Completing my 3rd week of working from home. Not sure if I will have to go into the office next week (it's my turn according to the previous schedule) or if I will continue from home. Our state has issued a Stay-home order, however I am an essential worker (order processor for an energy management…

Friday! Doesn't really have the same meaning when you work from home. I am enjoying the extra time in bed. Cutting an hour and a half drive time plus shopping time out of my day has made me very relaxed. Normally, I would leave my house by 6:45 am and not return until 7 pm or later. Now, I don't even get out of bed for a…

I decided to treat myself today. Significant other had bought asparagus for me on Saturday. Sauteed asparagus in olive oil, scrambled eggs with sauteed onions, and a slice of Colby-Jack cheese. It was delicious!

MONDAY I worked from home last week and was supposed to go back to the office this week. We are on a half staff situation alternating weeks in the office. However, I've actually been sick since February 21st with allergies of some sort. It has progressed into a productive cough. My boss told me to stay home today and keep…

Good morning, all! It is Wednesday, but it's my work Friday. I head for Gatlinburg in the morning. Probably will have time to log in, but not to comment. I'll play catchup when I get back to work and need a break in my day. Best wishes to all for a fabulous end to the week. SW 222 CW 185.4 GW 145

Sorry for the second post. My mom's surgery went well. She is out and will be in a room in an hour. Thank you for all your kind thoughts.

Weekend was not bad. Slept a lot. Had a good visit from my daughter yesterday. Nothing special. Just watched tv, ate, and talked. Convention looms. I think I have figured out my clothing situation. Will have to try a couple of things on tonight to make sure they fit. SW 222 CW 187 GW 145

No outfits. I decided to shop my closet and dig out some clothes I haven't seen in a while. My parents live about a mile away. They are in good health (other than this minor thing). She and Daddy will go spend the night in Memphis, get her surgery and come home Tuesday. I leave Thursday for convention and return Sunday. No…

Getting ready to go shopping for convention. Small stuff. Travel shampoo and maybe one outfit. Talked to my mom today. She has bladder surgery on Monday. Healing thoughts would be appreciated. Found out my niece is pregnant with her seventh child. :s Hope everyone has a fabulous day! SW 222 CW 190.4 GW 145

Yes, ma'am, I am heavily involved in my Lodge and fully believe in their purpose to care for disadvantaged children and seniors. I will become the Recorder for our Chapter on May 1st and will handle all financials, membership registrations, auditing, and reporting to State and International Moose. I also bowl in a league…

Dear Lana, Your encouragement means so much to me, especially knowing your own struggles. I am attempting to steel my resolve at this moment. Found out that a very dear friend of mine died in January and I did not know anything about it. She leaves a beautiful 16-year old daughter with special needs and an elderly husband.…

Glad to see you are all here and doing well. I failed to lose and, in fact, have steadily gained since my last post. My trip is next week and I am 30 lbs heavier than I had hoped to be. (for the newbies, I previously had 6 weeks to lose 25 lbs) I am fully aware of the choices I am making and seem to be currently unable to…

Update: There were no new jeans. Nor will there be any this week. Everyone is doing so well on the Beck. Proud for all your successes!

Good morning to all! My plan went a bit awry this week, however scale is only up .2 from last Monday. I feel it will be down before the week is out. Yesterday, I was not able to drink enough water due to travel and I had a huge salad with lots of salty olives. A lot of the weight I have today is water. Still aiming for…
