Hello all. I am actually on the computer tonight instead of my iPad, so hope to catch up. Eating has been VERY not good. Too many snacks, but lots of activity. The scale is not moving. WI this week was a maintain, which is still better than the slight gains the last two weeks! This week we had our wood floors refinished,…

Hello all. I've read all, but have been so busy this week! I've decided I'm just not going to attempt to post if I am not on the computer. I have lost way too many posts from my phone or iPad. Weather here is cool and rainy. We actually needed a little rain, but not as much as we got overnight! I had hoped for dry today…

Good morning all. What a wonderful weekend! Spring weather has sprung here at last! We spent much of the weekend outdoors. Saturday we had a landscaping company do all our trimming, edging and mulching. We have so much! Normally I do it and spread about 40 yards of mulch over about three weeks. This crew was all done in…

Hello all Checking in after yet another busy day. Eating was okay today. I made the Classic Shepherd's Pie from the WW site for dinner, except I used already-made homemade mashed potatoes. It was yummy! Mine may have had a few more points than theirs because I just used up the leftover potatoes I had, but all is well. I've…

Hello all. It has been a busy week! A field trip on Monday, CPR training on Tuesday and friends over for dinner, today I have Elise and have to take her to PT. Tonight is Lent soup n sermon, and I am one of the soup makers for tonight. So I have the Skinnytaste crock pot chicken taco chili in cooking. Tomorrow is another…

Hello all. Nice to see everyone check in today. So sorry about the lost posts. I rarely try to post when I am on my iPad anymore - too much risk of losing a long one. Big news that I have been keeping quiet. We settled today on a piece of land! We have known for a long time we didn't want to stay in our current house…

Hello all. I'm having a hard-to-resist-snacks afternoon here. I did get lots of steps this morning at the Sanctuary. We had a great time, with a group of 6th graders. We planted trees, saw the beaver dam and pond, watched an osprey on its nest, and dipped for tadpoles in the vernal pool. I had my first ever injury to deal…

Cindy, the tax law changes took a LOT of people by surprise. Good luck on finding a better tracker. I have a very old FitBit that I hope doesn't die, because I don't like any of the new ones. I don't want to wear it like a watch! Patti, I bet the bathroom looks great! Isn't it just so satisfying to complete something like…

Hello all. Its been a busy couple of days.Yesterday was WW in the morning, some errands, then in the afternoon we finally moved around some furniture to incorporate some things I brought back from my mom's apartment. I need to sell a few pieces. I've tried Craigs List without much luck. I think I'll try Facebook…

Hello all. I think I am FINALLY getting over my cold. I’ve not been sleeping well at all because I’m am so congested. Today was an Elise day. They had a neurology appointment for her this afternoon and she had to be kept awake all day. She actually did very well until I put her in the car to take her to meet Brad, and she…

Ugh. Iv been awake since 3 am with this cold. So plugged up I just can lie down and can’t sleep. I have some things I have to get done, but maybe later I will manage a nap. Yesterday was not a blue dot day. I had salt cravings that could not be staved off. Hopefully today will be a fruit craving day. That’s what I’m having…

Hello all. My cold has been winning the last few days, but I hope I am starting to turn the corner. Yesterday was a blue dot day, but today nothing tasted good but salt. Need to track my afternoon indulgences. Dinner will be a nice OP meal - pork tenderloin, broccoli and roasted garlic red potatoes. I will limit my…

Hello all. I have come down with a terrible cold. Yesterday I did nothing but sit on the couch and eat junk food. I tracked it as “junk 35 points”. It was probably more than that but at least that used most of my weeklies and showed I didn’t get a blue dot. Today I am at least not eating junk food, but I feel like crap. No…

Posting this in small bits since I am on my iPad again. Patti, I do hope you can figure out what is up with Frankie. Our fur babies are a part of our family. And just like a baby or toddler, they can’t tell you what is wrong. Cindy, since you have a daughter in each spot, you can concentrate on what is best for YOU. You…

Hello all. Just back from my WW meeting and waiting for my crab cake to broil. Yes good crab cakes is one of the advantages of living in Maryland. I won’t bother eating them anywhere else. I had a small loss at WI. Not as much as I had hoped, and not as much as my home scale was showing. Maybe next week. The topic today…

Good afternoon all. Headed for another blue dot day today. Carrie and I are having crab cakes and a salad for dinner. The place I get the crab cakes is having a buy two, get one free sale, so I have a spare for lunch tomorrow after WW meeting. Elise slept late this morning, and I took her to the doctor. She has yet another…

Dang - I typed up a long post earlier on my iPad. Must have hit the stupid "done" button instead of "Post." Not going to repeat it! I will have Elise tomorrow because she was running a fever this afternoon. I hope it is just teething - she drooled up a storm on Thursday when she was here. Eating pretty good today - I'm…

Hello all. I've been busy with church efforts. We have a Pastoral vacancy right now, and I am chair of the committee getting some documentation together for our Call committee. That is ready to go to the congregation for comment tomorrow, so I will have a bit of a break for a week. Tonight we are going to see the middle…

Hello all. Not a very good day yesterday, and okay today except for a few snacks. Not going to be a blue dot, but I have lots of fitness points. Yesterday we cut down two trees and hauled the logs out of the woods, and today we rented a splitter and got them split. So I have worked off a few calories! Tonight is church…

Good afternoon all. WI today was good - I had a nice loss. I've decided I'm going to channel my inner Patti and just report gains or losses, and not fixate on the numbers. But it was nice that my trying last week actually got me somewhere! The meeting topic was planning your meals. I already do that, so there weren't many…

Hello all. Hanging onto a blue dot day just barely. Meals were okay today on points, though dinner was not a keeper, snacking was so-so. We had a meeting at church at 6:30, so to make an easy early dinner I made a Trader Joe's premade frozen meal - Chicken with Shitake Mushrooms and Edamame (2 SP), plus rice (4) and…

Hello all - just a quick stop since I have much to get done today. I am working on a Congregational Profile for our church as we prepare to call a new Pastor - I am head of the committee and have set a deadline of tomorrow for each to get their inputs in, so better get busy on mine! Eating has been so-so. No blue dot the…

Good morning all. Today is an Elise day. She just went to bed for her nap but I can peek in and see her standing up in her crib, so maybe not yet. Yesterday was not good snacking. We were out and busy all day, and went out for lunch. I chose what I thought would be the best option, a grilled portabello sandwich, and I…

Good afternoon all. Reporting in for the day. Today will be another blue dot - first time I've had two in a row in quite a while. Today's snack was 8 SP, not 5, but i'm still only at 12 SP for the day, so I will be good. Dinner will be early tonight because I have a church meeting at 6:30 and Ash Wednesday service at 7:30.…

Okay reporting back. I did one of the Apptiv workouts (an easy one, but better than nothing). And my afternoon snack was two hard boiled eggs, some PB2 and celery, and some corn Good Thins crackers, for a total of 5 SP. I am still under my points for the day by two, so this will be a blue dot day. Tomorrow I am going to…

Hello all. WW meting this morning and I gained again. I have GOT to get my head back in the game. Today’s topic was setting small goals! Something we all have experience with. I am going to start announcing my goals on here again, and reporting on how it is going. I usually eat a healthy zero point breakfast, a reasonably…

Hello all. Sunday was a very snacky day. I didn’t even track it all. Today is not a blue dot but at least I tracked all. Tomorrow is WI and I have a feeling I won’t have made much progress. Cindy I keep seeing the ads for Noom too, so I will be interested to see what you have to say. Patti yes this week has been a…

Hello all. Not getting a blue dot today. We had friends over for dinner but they brought most of the dinner - lasagne! And I made the appetizers, salad and dessert (I stuck to veggies and dip made with FF Greek Yogurt, except for one slice of summer sausage and one cracker with cheese), salad, bread, one serving of…

Hello all. Yes I am here, and reading all, but just haven’t felt very chatty. John has been using the computer a lot, and I hate typing in posts on my iPad and losing them! I seem to hit the Done button more on there than the post reply button. I’ve had a busier week too, and am about to dive into some church work for next…

Hello all. Today is shaping up to be the first blue dot day for me in a long time. I've tracked everything, kept within my points, and have a healthy, filling dinner planned. Tomorrow I will go to my WW meeting and face the scale, regardless of what it says. I should have gone last week, and maybe I wouldn't have had such…
