No worries! I enjoyed it.

Just read LE Modesitt Jr's Quantum Shadows. I usually like his stuff. This one, less so. Better than his Spellsong Sorceress books but it is likely toward the bottom on my ratings list. Also read The Cold Eye by Laura Anne Gillman and Starter Villian by John Scalzi. The Scalzi is hilarious. He usually is. This one (and…

No, you're right.

Melaniedscott Sat weigh day PW (reported): 230.5 CW: 227.7 This is in line with where I was thinking I should be. So glad the 10 K went well for you @daria0919! I will walk a 5 K and sometime, accidentally a 10, but no running for me. Visited the Botanical Garden today and did just over a 5K.

I don't see anything to judge scale but it doesn't look "little" to me. That said, this one would be welcome around my place, as long as he stayed out of sight of my husband. We get some of the black snakes with orange bellies and rings on their necks and they are always fun.

Today is Wednesday, step challenge participants, this is last call for last week's steps! (I am missing steps from @BlueSkyNomad and @ljdanny)

Team Walk Some More reporting in! Melaniedscott and Emilienewme from F2F team Weight No More.

Melaniedscott Weigh day Sat I'm excusing myself today because every muscle in my body is crying mama. I had a bunch of winter deadfall that the city ignored (picked up everyone else's) and the lawn waste guys wouldn't take because it was huge. So I spent 7-8 hours this week breaking and clipping branches, stuffing lawn…

I need to get back to tracking walking (walking generally), so sure. I'll make a point to get steps in.

Just a little reminder for those of you on the step team, if you have not posted last week's steps, please do so now.

Melaniedscott Sat weigh day PW: 232.6 CW: 230.5 Don't get too used to huge drops--this is probably the colonoscopy talking. But I'll aim to keep losing. Probably won't rejoin step challenge until May but I'll be back to doing the posts next week.

Welcome to all the new ladies & gents! I'm Melanie, 47 (oof, hard to say it) and I'm from Kansas. I’m the other team Co-captain. Truly, Ashley does most of the heavy lifting (and the past month, all of it. I generally do the steps post and will be back to it for April. I've had some personal stuff going on and have not…

I'm reading an anthology called Fantastic Hope edited by Laurel Hamilton and William McCaskey. Some of the stories are pretty good, some are meh. I was happy to see one (each) from Sharon Shinn, Patricia Briggs and L. E. Modesitt, Jr. I was surprised that I didn't hate the one by Larry Correia (I generally don't appreciate…

Mio is sweetened with sucrolose, which may increase inflammatory responses and has a lot of recent news about potential DNA damage. I just know it makes my kidneys hurt and makes my husband feel ill, so we avoid it. Unfortunately, it is being added to a lot of products and there are no warnings, unlike aspartame.

No worries. I wasn't on top of things either. I'll add your steps for the end of month.
