@HappyDonkey75 I totally get your vent re your mom. I'm the same… my folks have become really set in their ways, and needless to say, not always my way. I love them both, but sometimes when I visit, it's all I can do to not scream. We do have lots of good middle ground. I feel fortunate to still have both my parents as Mom…

Skipped posting while I was out of town visiting parents, and then another day. Back to it today. JFT F 5/23 ~ Cool but less windy. Rain has moved on & both rain barrels are full.

Recap Sunday 5/18 ~ Even cooler today & cloudy. Furnace is off so I'm happy to use slow cooker and washer/dryer to slightly heat house. LOL springtime. Church 9:00 😆 Drove my normal route, found "road closed" sign… I hadn't realized the marathon running this morning had a half that was using some of "my" streets. The news…

@HappyDonkey75 Glad for your dad's better news.

Recap T 5/13 Leftovers for supper / limit sweets & snacks ~ fruit cake, mixed…

Recap M 5/12 ~ Gorgeous day! 🌞 First day for us in the low 80s! With my outdoor time, someone from choir noticed I'd gotten a bit of sun, but with my complexion, already faded. Restaurant for supper: make wise choices, only one adult beverage 🤣 grande margarita bc hubby could drive me home, ate fish vera cruz & way too…

@angf0679 Sorry to see you go, I have enjoyed reading your posts. Not sure if you even read this. But I totally get the "too much social media" black hole. If I'm not careful, I fall into that trap way too much myself. Yesterday was very sedentary, with church, car time 3 hours & visiting with family at Mom & Dad's for…

@angf0679 Congrats on your double win! Healthy food at cheaper price = yay!

Yesterday was another day without posting JFT, but logged food & activity. Again, lots of activity. Walked dog 3.94 mi & happy dog. As she approaches 13yo, she still loves her walks. But we definitely see her resting more after, instead of the zoomies. While hubby was on a 2-hr webinar, I took advantage of the gorgeous…

Recap W 5/7 ~ Temps back to normal, maybe reach 60 today, and a bit windy. But sun is shining! Leftovers for supper? yes / limit snacks & sweets ~ ack! too many peanut M&Ms (one of my faves) / 80 oz. water ~ only 64 / log all food / net calories zero 🙄 -250 OT exercises 🙂 doing at least 2-3 per day most days, need to keep…

@PackerFanInGB Ooh, Zeppelin's! I remember that place. I used to own a house not far from there, and my then boyfriend owned a business on that same street. He loved that place, and of course I went with him. I don't miss him, but I really miss Zeppelin's. LOL

@HappyDonkey75 That's a lot to deal with. Prayers for you and your family! Btw, I've been on HRT for several years. Never thought whether it was related to my weight. @beachwalker99 @Bex953172 Both of you with root canals on the same day! Wishing you both a speedy recovery. @pridesabtch Alcohol always gives me the…

Didn't take time yesterday to post JFT, but logged food & activity. Lots of activity. After walking dog 3.61 mi. & running errands, started spring yardwork while hubby visited his oldest sister in hospital with infection. First, I struggled with padlock on shed, so sprayed WD-40… yay, lock works. Then found dead mouse in…

Recap Sunday ~ Temp is cool but sun is shining & mild breeze 😎 Beautiful day to walk around a car show and I remembered my sunglasses. Living in the north, never dawned on me to wear sun screen, and my face was a bit pink by evening, but I'm dark haired and it will fade soon. Good thing hubby wore ball cap, he's very fair.…

@Bex953172 Best wishes on your fund-raiser! Do you know how it works if someone from the USA donates? The cause is close to my heart, as I have lost family and friends to cancer. Plus my dad has battled 2 forms. Since 2013 I have participated in an American Cancer Society Cancer Prevention Study (300,000 participants…

I'm going to post for today & tomorrow. Sat. I'm attending a Lutheran Women's Missionary League spring rally. Registration starts at 8:30 and program ends with a light lunch at noon. Thankfully the location is a church not that far from where we live, so I don't have to leave extra early. Probably a good idea if I shower…

Recap 4/30 W ~ Wind no longer horrible, sun trying to shine through thin clouds Took TH out to lunch for her bday ~ had poke bowl with wild rice, broccoli, tomatoes, avocado & sauteed shrimp with sesame ginger sauce, very yummy / supper? leftover pizza & skyr / limit sweets & snacks ~ salted peanuts & several pieces Easter…

Recap 4/29 T ~ Strong winds this morning, hope they die down as forecast. Last night, hubby took doggo to basement during thunderstorms & gusty winds that frightened her. Supper? hubby wanted to go out (rare for him) & I was all in… I took him to a pizza place in operation 1 year younger than me, that he'd never been to…

@PackerFanInGB Glad I don't live closer to the stadium district but would've enjoyed the draft activity going on (I think). I could see the plane banners flying over from City Deck. Everyone was so friendly during the 5K and market, more than usual, I think just the whole atmosphere during the draft. When I drove past NWTC…

@Bex953172 So very sorry for the loss of Ash's mum. Hugs to you! @pridesabtch Loved the science fire show! The NFL Draft has ended, and attendance for the 3 days was well over expectations at >600,000. Would've been more without a rainy Friday afternoon. I've never paid attention to the draft in the past (I don't follow…

Hi my JFTers! I had a bit of unplanned Easter hiatus from MFP. Just as well, I wouldn't know how to log my eating the past few days. Easter was wonderful with choir singing at two services, then my family coming to town for dinner and games (minus 2 youngest brothers who were with their in-laws instead). We had a great…

Today's been busy, late logging in. Hubby has been doing the last touches of cleaning, since I did the deep cleaning leading up to this week. Yesterday he vacuumed all carpets (up & down) while I walked dog, and started on bathrooms. He took on full cleaning of 2 1/2 bathrooms (I had asked he do that part) and finished…

Recap 4/16 W ~ Hopefully wind dies down & I can walk doggo. 😁 Yes! Leftovers for supper / limit snacks & sweets 🙂 string cheese / 80 oz. water / log all food / net calories zero 😐️ According to MFP log -504, but according to Fitbit cal burn, more like zero (I don't have synched). Oh well, somewhere in there LOL OT…

No computer time today until this evening, so no goals posted for today. With another very windy day & colder, no dog walk. Hubby and I were busy shopping at home improvement store & final grocery shop before Easter. I did tasks around the house until we went out for early supper at Olive Garden. We both brought leftovers…

Recap 4/13 Palm Sunday ~ Cloud cover but warm (for time of year), hope to walk dog before predicted rain, but she's a little under the weather… maybe we'll stick to neighborhood cul de sacs just in case? Church 9:00 / youth fundraising breakfast after 🙂 Hot dogs, pasta salad & veg for supper / limit snacks & sweets ~…

@PackerFanInGB Yes, I downloaded the NFL OnePass. Mainly to see all the info that's available, like road closures & traffic. Not sure I'll use it or even go near the stadium district during that time. All the people! Plus the cost to park is higher than I'm probably willing to pay. Normal in a big city, pricey for here.…

@more_freggies76 Sorry about your friend's diagnosis. That's so sad. @pridesabtch Hope your hubby gets better soon, and you can avoid it. Hugs! Recap 4/12 Sat. ~ Sunny again and temp may reach 60F = wahoo! Leftovers for supper / limit snacks & sweets ~ string cheese, salted peanuts & 3 Hershey minis / 80 oz. water ~ yes /…
