Mornin' y'all! Still fighting the sinus infection, but after lazing around all day yesterday, I've got to get up and move today. I'm going nuts. It's warm here today - already near 60 with potential for record high temp this afternoon. I've got a few yard chores to do, so the dogs and I can get outside and get them done…

Hi gang! The dogs and I are having a lazy day. Dave's gone to the lake to work on the plumbing problems- poor guy! He likes doing a lot of handyman stuff, but not particularly plumbing, especially old, weird, mobile home plumbing. My cold is turning into a sinus infection, sweats, chills, headache and a virtual snot…

Diane - (((BIG HUGS))) music does sound like a step in the right direction for Carrie. Please feel free to share ANYTIME! Your advice was very helpful to me a year ago when Jessi was struggling and I thank you for that. I don't have much experience, but want to think that Janet has a good point that Carrie is continuing to…

Hi gang! It's a sunny, chilly day here in OK. We lucked out with really great weather this week at the lake. Unfortunately, we also accumulated some unplanned home improvement projects - or, I should say Dave did. A couple plumbing problems in the guest bathroom, one of which involves leaky faucet inside the wall between…

Mornin' y'all! I'm in today with a Wicked head cold. Ahhhhh, if only I could breathe through my nose again... At least I had a decent night's sleep! Janet - glad your pain is moderating and you have your TV back. As far as "he who shall not be named" (in OKC, anyway), congratulations. It's still a very sore subject here.…

Good news! The tracking plan paid off at the scale this morning - down 2.2#'s!!! Oddly, though, my meeting buddy had a .4 gain even though we were both over in our weeklies almost the exact same amount. Dave and I had planned to go to the lake tomorrow, but have decided to put it off for a few days as I've come down with…

I'm here. Doing good. Just had 2nd long post poof. AAAUUUGGGHHHHH!!!

Hi gang! 13 hours after I started today's work day, I finally got home. Made good choices until the drive home when I resorted to snacking to keep myself awake. That's the only bad news. The good news is that it's all tracked, and tracked honestly, no fooling myself! My WW meeting buddy and I are sticking with our…

Hi from the road. On plan for today and all tracked. Nighty night.

Hi gang! It seems like Sunday has gone pretty darn fast. Packing for the coming work trip to NW AR and bedlam women's basketball. Our Sooners pulled out a win after trailing the whole game down to the final 2 minutes. Boomer Sooner! Took the dogs for a walk around the neighborhood when we got home from the ballgame and…

Forgot to tell Diane - go ahead and try the water aerobics class. You may be able to work at your own pace or in the deep end of the pool if you need to up the challenge. You may find though, at least for the first few classes, that it's a better workout than you realize. I'm always absolutely rubber legged getting out of…

Hi gang! Sorry to be MIA this week. I made some poor choices and tried to act like an ostrich, stick my head in the sand and act like it didn't happen. As a result, I didn't come here, made more poor choices, didn't track and then didn't get the results I wanted at WW this morning- of course! After plugging back in with my…

Well I'm in my hotel safe and sound and managed to do pretty well with today's plan - not perfect, but I'm OK with my results and everything is tracked. I pulled a muscle in my back this morning, so headed to bed well dosed on Advil and muscle relaxers. I lucked out and managed to get myself a massage appointment tomorrow…

Mornin' y'all! I'm home from yoga at the Y this morning and fixin' to hop in the shower before I head east. Before I forget to answer... TT: planning to stop in Tulsa for lunch (maybe with a co-worker buddy if she's available and I'm taking plenty of healthy snacks if I think I need something to munch on. It's another…
-
Janet - here's hoping you get good sleep as well as good results! NOw I just need to execute my plan. Funny story about Dave and the dogs. I worked at the office all day Thursday and it wasn't good outside weather, so the 3 boys were in the house together pretty much all day. When I walked in the back door after work, Dave…

Hi gang! It's finally raining here - we really need it as we're headed into fire weather season here in OK. In fact, we've already had a couple of red flag days. I've kept myself pretty busy today with laundry, ironing and packing for the upcoming work trip to NW AR. I'll be gone Monday - Thursday, so that's a longer trip…
-
Mornin' y'all! It appears we have escaped the ice storm. Sadly, so far we haven't even received measurable rainfall which we really need. My WW meeting this morning was a much-needed recharge, recommit, refocus for me. I love my "Tribe" as we collectively refer to one another. AOTD: I've been to my meeting, am checking in…
-
Hi gang! I'm so glad you're all still here when I get back during busy times! It's turned into a really busy week but I'm finally here. We finally had a decent weather day the last day we were in Galveston and Ellis had a great time that afternoon making friends to play with on the beach. Karla - to answer your question,…
-
Hi gang! We're hunkered down in Galveston. Temps just above freezing with 30+ mph wind and rain too. Poor Ellis can barely stand to stay outdoors long enough to do his "business"! He's such a good little traveler and up until today's brutal weather has had a great time running and playing and chasing birds on the beach.…

OMG - 10,000 steps daily Bert - It Is Well With My Soul is one of my favorite hymns! Keeping my fingers crossed on the faucet repair. Dave can do some things, but doesn't hesitate to call the plumber if he thinks it's over his head. Thankfully we have a good one! Karla - glad you're home. Stay weather aware! That's an Okie…

Janet - yay for you on one in a row!!!
-
Hi gang! Back from basketball, Tulip chores done and ready to start packing, supper in the crockpot so I'm checking in with y'all. Myra - good to "see" you! Bert - your duet was lovely, I'm sure! Patti - glad you'll be able to fit your fitness classes in with your new work schedule. Janet - I'm really glad to hear you're…
-
Happy New Years Eve my friends! You're my last hurrah of 2016. I couldn't let the night pass and go to sleep without greeting you guys! MaryLynn - virtual hug right back to you. I love reading your posts - you somehow manage to call us back to what matters most when we wander. I'm so very grateful to have you and your…
-
Mornin' y'all! It's sunny and cold this morning here in OK where the wind will be sweeping down the plains this afternoon! No surprise there... I'm feeling thankful today; thankful to feel much more in control having made my multi-bean salad so I can veg-up for lunch more easily. I've meticulously tracked the last 2 days,…

Mornin' y'all! Now that Christmas is behind us, how are you doing with your WL plan? On a scale from 1-10, how terrific can you say your overall holidays went regarding: 1-food/eating 2-planning and sticking to it 3-activity 4-finding time for yourself 5-fun with friends/family Let's see how I did. 1-food/eating - I'll…

Hi gang! Just got through reading and catching up with all of you and your Christmas celebrations. We've had a very nice one here and the girls and I shopped all day today! I'm just looking forward to getting everything back to normal - normal eating, normal tracking, and normal exercise - this week. Next week we head to…
-
Hi gang. I've been waaayyy busy it feels like, but as I think back I can't really remember much of what it's been that kept me busy last week. Let's see...I worked 3 days, there was the state finals football game, at least 2 basketball games we attended in person + 3 Thunder games on TV, I've decorated the tree finally and…
-
Hi gang. We got back from the lake yesterday but I'm down with another nasty cold. Dave just had to share! Good news was Ellis is gonna be a super little traveler - he just lays down in his bed and conks out. All he cares about is having his family with him. We took him on his first hike and he did well as long as Dinky…
-
Janet! I knew I hadn't greeted everyone and realized I'd left you out as soon as I hit post. Happy Thanksgiving!
-
Hi gang! It's been just busy enough that I haven't really had chatting time or attention, but I've been keeping up reading posts each night. Patti - enjoy the new job Cindy - (((BIG HUGS))). You're in such a tough spot! Come here to vent any time you want. Karla and Bert - have fun with the grandkids Ellis is fitting into…
