Another I forgot. Cindy - even though I can't be there I LOVE your blue polka dot idea!

All is well in OKC. We've "weathered" this round with another predicted for tomorrow. I'm sorry, but I won't be able to attend the OMG reunion. We'll be on a Caribbean cruise at that time. Karla - I think you could drive to Pennsylvania as easily as you could Oklahoma City. I've done the Mobile to OKC trip multiple times…

Will read and get caught up later. Storms are beginning to ramp up out west and will be here in central OK in the next few hours. Everyone is on high alert as about the northwestern 2/3 of the state is in a high risk area today. They are calling for super cell thunderstorms with 4" diameter hail and large, long track…

Short Public service announcement. I'm still trying to claw my way out from under the rock. Tracking but can't really find my give a damn button consistently. We're headed to the lake for a few days, so I'll be in cell hell for a while. Not sure how long we'll stay as it depends on weather. Severe storms predicted…

My color is cooking, so I have time to finish my post. I've not been out of control or completely off the rails, but just in an "I don't wanna" mood. That means no tracking at all on Sunday and more indulgences than WPA on Saturday and Monday, so I'll need to step up my game the rest of the week. We were supposed to have a…

*****crawling out from under the rock and reporting for duty***** After 3 no blue dot days, I'm still here and have been reading, but just didn't have the energy to post. Won't get into it all here but suffice it to say I'm not happy with most of my family. Dave and Jessi haven't hit the s#%* list yet, but they're about…

Well dammit! I just want to throw a fit. I was actually up 0.2 this week. One of those totally unexplained weigh-ins. I know they happen to everyone occasionally, but good grief are they ever hard to take when it happens. Today was a NOT blue dot. Had several indulgences at a graduation party and I've tracked it as best I…

It's late but I wanted to stop by for a quick check in. Blue dot day plus yoga, weight training and 14,500+ steps. Excited to see what tomorrow's WI brings...

http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/67-science-backed-weight-loss-strategies/ Have any of you read this blog post on MFP? I found it interesting. A lot of the 67 listed strategies I had heard about and/or tried over the years. Some I still do, some I never tried and some that I tried but either didn't like or didn't work for me.…

It's a lazy morning here. Nothing on the agenda and no urgent chores. Our thunderstorms last night were just rain and lightning here, no wind damage, hail or tornados. We got enough rain that I won't need to water in the fertilizer I spread a couple days ago. Today is absolutely lovely - sunny, calm and warm. We've had…

Hi gang! I'd hoped to be headed downtown to OKC's Full Moon run/walk/ride, but it's been postponed due to storms headed this direction. Ahh....spring in Oklahoma, where the hail and tornados come sweeping down the plain. Actually it's only a low chance of tornados; the bigger threat to hit is large size hail. I won't get…

Waaaay pooped out. Blue dot and 13,000 steps. Chat tomorrow. Suzi

Quick WOOOOO HOOOOOOO for Janet!!!! Off to paint boat bottom...

Hi gang. I was down with a bad sinus headache that made me sick at my stomach yesterday. Moved a little slow today, but feel much better. No blue dots, though. I didn't even track the bread and applesauce which was most of what I ate yesterday. Today I had a weak moment and somehow let a cream-filled, super delicious,…

WOOOOO HOOOOO MEEEEE!!!!! Down 2.8 at today's weigh in!! That makes it 0.2 shy of 5 pounds in 2 weeks!! If I can keep this up, I'll be in a new decade by the end of the month. Dave and I took the dogs for another 2-mile walk at the park this morning, but I still need another good walk to get to 12,000 steps today. Janet -…

It's late so this will be short. Missed my blue dot by one point! Still really good though considering I had food truck food, including dessert for lunch. Also got in over 14,000 steps today. WW in the morning and I'm eager to see what results show up at the scale.

Hi y'all! We were up and around early this morning. So far I have a dog walk and a couple hours of mulching under my belt. This afternoon it's bill paying, poison ivy eradication and weed pulling. My oh my the excitement! The big news of the day is that we pulled the trigger and booked our room to go on a cruise with…

This is a weird (for me) streak I've got going. For the 4th time this week, I've finished the day at below my daily points target. Today I still had 8 points left after supper! I just drank a glass of milk to use some of that, but I'm still 5 under for the day. I've been concentrating on getting plenty of F/V's after the 2…

Janet - I know not to put mulch all the way up to the tree when mulching around trees - to leave a gap between the tree trunk and the mulch. Is hat what you're talking about? If not, could you tag me in a comment to the article or something so it will show for me? Thanks!!

Hi y'all! Another day, another weather pattern. We're back to cold and wet and I've got a pickup bed full of mulch to be spread. Luckily, Dave's car is in the body shop so we could put the pickup in the garage and keep the mulch dry. Yoga class kicked my butt this morning after 6+ hours of flowerbed work yesterday, but I…

Janet - if you had not weighed at all in 2017 and have only gained 2 with the physical limitations you've been under post surgery, that sounds like a win to me! I'd even call it a scale victory.

Mornin' y'all! It's sunny but stilll a little chilly this morning. Should warm up later though with predicted highs in the 70's. Having breakfast now and will do a loop through neighborhood with the dogs when I'm done before starting on the flower beds. Yesterday was a blue dot day and I even had to have an extra glass of…

Hi gang! The dogs and I had a lazy morning and I made a quick trip to Trader Joe's to see what's what. I haven't been since we finally got one in OKC. I've been working on the flower planting this afternoon and it's going frustratingly slow. The big bed in the back where most of these flowers are going is full of multiple…
-
Hi gang! Yesterday was a blue dot for me. I think my OMG this week will be to get 12,000 steps at least 5 days. I will strive to continue getting at least 5 blue dot days as well, but steps need to be my focus this upcoming week after the slug weekend I've had! We have intermittent periods of rain, temps in upper 40's, and…

Hi gang! It's been a lazy, rainy, stormy day here in OK. Things relatively calm at my house but some areas of town had very high winds early this morning. I was down 2# today at WI, so. Y blue dot days are doing me good! I've done well with food today, but have no exercise. The dogs have been quite cuddly while we've…

For WW purposes, a blue dot day is when you hold points to within 3 below or 7 above your daily allowance. That's the only thing considered - points. So, in my "world according to Suzi" opinion, I think staying within daily calorie allotment + exercise calories earned would be a pretty good comparison. An old WW thread I…
-
Mornin' y'all! It's the morning after for me. I managed to escape the Arts Festival with a few WPA left in the bank. Whew! It was tougher than I thought it would be because we had more free walk around time than I thought we would. We had about every other hour free. I had a good time and got to see some local OKC…
-
Welcome back Karla! Glad you had such a good time on your cruise. Report from yesterday: used 27 of 30 points so that's good for another blue dot day. For the second night in a row I needed a glass of milk at bedtime to get my points high enough for a blue dot. That was a first! I have 30 WPA left in the bank and may need…
-
Janet - cindy was exactly right - if you're getting antsy, that's a good sign! I'm so proud of you for doing your PT and sticking with it. It's certainly not for sissies! The TENS would probably help your back, or at least, it won't hurt anything to try, but you're doing the right thing to ask about it first. Cindy - all…

Mornin' y'all! Quick check-in for me. We just got home from yoga and I need to do some work today. Need to at least get last week's time and an expense report submitted. Yesterday was a blue dot day and I hit my 10,000 step goal, too. Later, Suzi
