@HappyDonkey75 Sucks about your knee. Hope it gets better soon! @cschmitz110515 That is the coolest rainbow ever. The circumzenithal arc, also called the circumzenith arc (CZA), the upside-down rainbow, and the Bravais arc,[1] is an optical phenomenon similar in appearance to a rainbow, but belonging to the family of halos…

Today just sucked... Work was ok, but mom called and told me she had roaches. I told her I would get some over the counter bait and spray until I could get an exterminator there. So I called exterminator and did a Walmart curbside order to speed up things. Well the order was only 3 items and it was still delayed so I had…

Yesterday was good. I logged, I was in goal, I taught spin class and I didn't eat any snacks. Found out Merlin has Kennel Cough so our weekend plans are canceled. We were going to go to a college basketball rivalry game Friday night and then to a football game Saturday for our alma mater. Oh well, guess I'll do laundry and…

JFT Tuesday - Work by 7:30 :smiley: - Call vet - Meetings - More meetings - Log food - Home by 4:30 - Teach spin - Go to mom's - Home by 8:00 - Bed by 10:00

Actually taught spin for the first time in ages. Well I've been showing up, but I've not been riding as much as instructing. Saturday I rode with them. It was difficult but it felt good. I'm covering a class for a friend tomorrow. Need to get back into the gym regularly. Went to the doctor today and saw a number on the…

Halloween was fun. I dressed up as Strawberry Shortcake. Even used strawberry body spray to complete the effect. The neighborhood kids enjoyed that I dressed up, but they enjoyed the candy more. I did have one set of kids make a second pass by the house, which annoyed me. I still gave them candy, but not big candy as I…

The last couple of days have been pretty good. Sierra came in over the weekend so we actually cooked. This means we had leftovers Monday & Tuesday instead of going out. That is huge for us. We eat less, drink less and go to bed earlier. Need to get back to this on the regular. Sierra dropped off the grand puppy and she and…

Thought we had a relatively good day yesterday. Work was ok. Tim said he was going to go to yoga at 6:30. I wanted a burger from my favorite restaurant for dinner. Told him I'd meet him there after yoga. All was well. Driving home he called and asked if I wanted to go watch a football game at the pub. I said no at first…

Yesterday went pretty well as far as getting everybody to their designated areas on time. I didn't attend many of the meetings or ceremonies, but the timing was good. I definitely had one of the low stress jobs. I was however worn out from stressing over it and because the pup woke me at 3:30 yesterday morning (and this…

Found my scale! Guess I've missed all of October's challenge, but I will begin in November. Been busy, but got a little self care in the last 5 days. Nails last week and new fall hair yesterday. Funny, neither turned out like I thought, but I like them. Big day at work, lots of visitors on site. Board of Directors,…

If it makes you feel better, I turned off the ceiling fan in my bedroom yesterday and to my horror there were stalactites of dust clinging to it. I closed my eyes and took a nap. I still haven't gotten around to cleaning it.

Took my daughter and her friend out to dinner last night before driving back home. Made for a late night, but I love hanging out with V. She is a fascinating young lady. She makes me proud. Got home around 11:00pm and crashed on the couch. Work today until 1:30ish. ZERO work meetings today, but I'm meeting with my…

Yesterday was rough. Work was stressful and I had a ton of errands to get done before going to trivia, but most of the errands weren't bad. I went by mom's vet office to get records for her doggo. Picked up mom & dog and took them to Pet Smart to get a nail trim and pick up some dog food. Took mom home and visited a bit.…

@HappyDonkey75 I had similar fears after a particularly awful bicycle wreck. Like you it wasn't my first wreck, but it was one I couldn't get over easily. There was an entire year that I was debilitated by fear. I went from riding 100-200 miles a week to no being able to mount my bike. I would go to the bike path and cry…

Still haven't dug out my scale. Weekend was ok. Drove up to Kent to buy my daughter a new laptop because hers kept crashing. Its a 3 hour drive both ways, but she wasn't comfortable making the purchase alone. I'm glad I went not just because I got to see her, but also because my card was declined the first time due to a…

I really liked mine, but now I can't even find it. When I was using it religiously, I found the trend worth looking at for %BF, but not the actual value. It gave me a good idea of progress, though it was off quite a bit (I had a caliper BF analysis done at physical therapy). PT told me it was my breast that skewed the…

Birthday turned around a bit. Tim suggested that I skip puppy class and go out with friends. It was nice, but I stayed out too late making for a rough Thursday at work. Yesterday was fine other than me being tired, but honestly that is pretty typical these days. Went to work, left to pick up pup at daycare. He chewed…

@cschmitz110515 Happy early birthday my fellow Libra. Not that I put any stock into astrology, but it is sometimes interesting to see what it says.

Yesterday was fine, nothing special. Today is my birthday and I am incredibly sad. I've cried on and off all morning and I don't even know why. Took mom to the eye doctor this morning and ordered her some new glasses. Need to make her a dentist appointment also. It's so hard because she never remember that we have…

Ate dinner at home last night before going out to trivia. We got third. Stayed and watched the first half of the football game, then headed home. Apparently Merlin had an upset tummy and pooed in the kennel, then walked and laid in it. So Tim grabbed him to bathe him and I started inside clean up. Boy it was a mess. After…

Weekend was really good. We went to Pittsburgh Saturday to watch S row. We took the pup and had a great day. Walked over 15k steps as opposed to my usual 5k in a day, which may have partially made up for the decadent lobster mac & cheese I had for lunch. Then we went back to my daughters apartment to visit and introduce…

Yesterday went fairly well. Got home from work around 4:00, played with the pup and the big dog. Later was puppy class. He did really well in class. We did go out to dinner after, but I skipped the beer and limited the chips and salsa/queso. Today is a bit busy, but it will end on a high note. Up early with pup.…

Yesterday was nice we stayed in and Tim cooked a healthy meal, Korean rice bowl with veggies and steak. No beer, no bread, no snacking... Then we cooked some homemade chicken noodle soup for a cook off at work today. Last year we did chili, this year soup. Tim made the broth early evening and then I made the noodles later,…

Maybe we can hold one another accountable. I haven't stepped on a scale, because I'm embarrassed and afraid. I plan to start weighing again next Monday. Giving myself time to acclimate to eating reasonably again and logging. I'll post my weight every Monday going forward. You have my permission to hold me to that, up,…

SO disappointed in what I've let myself become... Lazy and fat. I'm barely wearing my fat clothes and I can't even make it through my own spin class right now. I have got to make some changes. Instead of prioritizing my personal goals, I need to start prioritizing my intake again. Tim and I have been dining out 5-6 nights…

Had a great long weekend. Thursday was the career fair, followed by trivia and Karaoke with half of WVU's senior class of chemical engineers. Friday we slept in then met old friends for drinks and appetizers. Followed that with a quick drive up to Pittsburgh to see our daughter and her BF. Then Saturday was the WVU…

Mom is starting to slow down mentally and physically. I need to get her back on Medicaid so we can get some in home health care, but there are barriers. I think I can get past them, but it will take some time. Yesterday I tried to teach her to answer her phone. I'm not sure she got it. Then her neighbor said she lost her…

Only working 2 days this week and today is half way over. Yay! It will be a busy, but hopefully good week filled with good friends. Today after work, I'll go to moms, then I'll probably go to trivia tonight with hubby. Tomorrow after work I'm driving about an hour to meet old friends one of which lives 13 hours away the…

Yesterday was ok, we did end up going to trivia, and we did well. We were in the running to win, but we didn't bet enough on the last question. Pupster woke me up extra early this morning, but I needed to be at work extra early so it worked out. Today will be his first visit to doggie daycare. He should have a good time…

Work and bed were my only accomplishments yesterday. I did take mom to the grocery and to get smokes. I'm not a fan of her smoking, but at 72 I'm not gonna change her mind, and I'm not going to fight her. Finished fixing up her old car and am delivering it to my cousin's daughter Saturday. It isn't perfect and it has a lot…
