Gorgeous photography! The colors in that picture are so saturated! How do you do that? Grandson #6 told me 8 children were absent from his first grade class yesterday. There are 24 kids in the class. Seems to me this is a high enough percentage to shut down And scrub that school. I am eating zicam and airborne in case he…

Just saw in our local paper that three area schools shut down this week because of flu. Evidently, it is rampant. I was a slug today. Stayed up too late last night and was just worthless all day. I am going to bed early so I can try to do better tomorrow. It’s raining, so no outside exercise but we need the rain to control…

Glad you had a nice trip but sorry you came home with a cold. Hope you get over it quickly. A lot of nasty viruses are circulating right now. How blessed you are Joy to see elk in the wild. They have been reintroduced to Virginia but I havent seen one yet.

I have the opposite problem with pants. My inseam is 32. Regular pants are 31 and tall sizes are 33. I get tall sizes and hem them. Lately, I have been getting boot cut fleece lined pants from RBX. Website says it is a 31 inseam, but I have bought 3 pairs and they are all 32 and perfect length on me.

Up .4 Trying to be consistent with exercise this week.
-
Nope. Up .4 I am going to give up my 90 calorie real sugar daily Pepsi and try to do better with exercise
-
2.4 is excellent! My doc says the slower the weight comes off, the more likely you are to keep it off. She thinks a half pound a week is ideal. I suspect I have gained with the time with the grandkids. Trying to decide if I weigh tomorrow or wait til the next Monday.

Babysitting grandbabies #7&8 out of town. No tracking. No exercise. Try again next week

Bathroom remodel starts tomorrow so I had already packed the scales away. My Monday weigh in will be next week. Tomorrow I go to sons house 2 hours away to keep grandbabies numbers 7 and 8. They are five years old and 19 months. I wont be home til Friday and not sure there will be much time to check in here. I do know they…

I would definitely count 5000 steps at a museum as exercise

Got my walk in this morning. Mile and a half. Supposed to get bitterly cold and ice/snow tomorrow. Ick! Put on a pot of beans and will make a skillet of cornbread later. This is soup weather! Going to try to unpack some of the garage boxes and make room for a car in there. My granny van and hubbys double cab truck are both…

Joy, you are so smart to listen to your body to avoid an ankle injury. I learned that lesson the hard way. I probably wou obsess over fluctuations on the scale. Maybe every Monday is best for me. I decided not to snack in the evenings anymore. I thnk I have gotten into the bad habit of mindless eating in front of the TV.…

Joy, you have a great attitude about conquering prediabetes. I know you will be successful. I only weigh on Mondays. Do you weigh every day? I am wondering if this would be more helpful than once a week.
-
Joy, i know several people who lost weight and got out of the pre-diabetic range. Three of them even had sleep apnea disappear. Odds are good that weight loss will get you out of the trouble zone. Great motivation! No exercise today. I got a new library book and spent the cold afternoon by the fire being a slug with my…

Thanks, Randi. Hope all is well with your daughter

Did my grocery shopping today. No junk. Snacks will be healthy choices if that is all we have in the house. According to my phone, I walked 3.2 miles this morning just running errands! I had to go to a lot of places. Turned out to be unavoidable exercise. 😂
-
Monday weigh in and down almost a pound! Whew!!! Goal for this week is half a pound. Thank you for encouragement and well wishes❤️

Prayer for you and yours Randi. Down almost a pound. Finally!

I have heard Quebec is wonderful. We had planned a trip there and covid hit, so no fun. Now my husband has a cancer diagnosis and many medical procedures behind him and he cannot walk very far. Our big trip days are over. If you go to Quebec, maybe you can share lots of pictures and reports so we can see it with you. My…

I will pray for your travel and daughter’s surgery.

The president is Joe Biden. He is in power until Jan 20. Why are people wondering why Trump hasnt done anything. He has no power until Jan 20. I want to know why Joe Biden hasnt done anything. He is the one who!Has the power to send in the National Guard, to order the drop planes from other wooded states to help, to make…

Melody, I am not surprised it is hard to find a coffee table. All the big furniture factories in Virginia went out of business when we started importing cheap copies from China. I had a very hard time finding a smaller dining table when we moved. Everything in the furniture stores was such shoddy workmanship. Finally…

Oh my! The wildfires are such a terrifying disaster. Glad your b-i-l is safe. We have been watching the news and it is heartbreaking. I can’t imagine dealing with something like that. This puts all the whining I did over moving To perspective and I am ashamed of myself. We ate Chinese today, which isnt exactly diet food,…

That turban is so cute! Love any hat I can Stick a button on. Do you have a pattern or did you wing it? The construction looks interesting. Is the band knit flat and twisted and joined? Do you pick up stitches for the crown? Another storm coming in tomorrow. 3-5” of snow. This is not our typical Virginia winter. Our temps…

I appreciate the support I find here. It is easier for me to make good choices if I have friends trying to do the same. This group has become so important to me. Congrats on TEN POUNDS!!!’ WooHoo that’s a great loss. Keep up the good work. I am wishing I had somewhere to put a fold up treadmill. I am still trying to find…

I wont be doing outdoor walks in 26 degrees anymore. My face fingers and toes were numb from the cold and I realized it isnt smart. Going to walk away the pounds with an old DVD tomorrow in the comfort of my well heated basement

Joy, i am weaning myself off sugar. Giving up real sugar Pepsi is the hardest for me. The buttermilk bread is my cheat today. I used storebought bread flour instead of grinding my own hard white wheat berries. I was generous with real butter and homemade strawberry rhubarb jam. Excellent cheat!!! My sister microwaves…
-
Joy, I allow myself one cheat day each week. If I didnt do this, I could never stick to clean eating long term. If I am Going to be bad, i am very bad and go for a Snickers or peppermint patty. We love hummus and I make it a lot. Sometimes I make it our of white beans or lima beans instead of garbanzo. It’s good no matter…

Big storm here and ice covered roads. Living in town is great. We are walking distance of main street. We ventured out and had breakfast at our favorite bakery. I was good with choices and portions and I wouldnt let my husband buy chocolate e’clairs on our way out. 😊
