@littleblackskirt - the determination is lacking in me too. I just am struggling to care enough right now. It seems that the harder Rodger is trying to lose the more I want to go the opposite way. I will get back to it though, I have to or I’m not going to have clothes to wear as I got rid of all of my bigger ones as I…

Barbara - my boss is under tremendous stress right now. A lot of budget concerns with the way our province is cutting funding to healthcare, our maintenance supervisor has been on sick leave for going on 3 months and she’s been on call for that. Plus tonnes of other things. I hope it settles for her soon. She is a very…

Awe! Thank you Mary I Just love you.

I am failing and am now at the point where I have gained back 15 of my 25 pound weight loss. I need to get my eating under control and move more. So...

It exciting and scary all at the same time to move. I hope you love it when you get there!

@Kuhl50 - you only turn 50 once. I say enjoy the party. I turned 50 after I started losing weight too it was only one day of celebrating and didn’t throw off my Journey.

What a great job on the cake, you do great work. Have fun with the sleepover, I miss those days. The largest I ever had when I was a girl was 12 girls, the largest by girls ever had was 12 too.

I know you asked @pridesabtch but I’ll answer for you. When you close you diary at the end of the day if the numbers are in red it means you have give over your calorie goals, if they are green you stayed within. Stay in the green is used a lot on here to remind us to stay within our calorie goals.

Eating healthy - I agree eating healthy is so much more expensive. Sweeteners vs sugar - I gave up sugar in my coffee about 4 years ago, I tried Stevia but found a bitter aftertaste. I do have a coffee with sugar as a sweet treat once in a while. Other than that I’m not much of a sweet eater. Allie - I saw the Beach Boys a…

I survived the dentist today. I have to go back next Tuesday for 2 fillings. Then I’ll have a couple ore appointments in February. I’m logging goals tonight for tomorrow. JFT - Wednesday January 22 2L of water Log all food Gratitude journal Move 15 minutes

Her FB page is called About My Mother it’s incredible.

Katla - my fear stems from a childhood dentist. I needed a tooth pulled and the dentist literally climbed on my lap to do it. I was young. He was the only dentist in the area. I was forced to go to him until I moved out. I didn’t see from age 17 to 23 when I had impacted wisdom teeth removed. They gave me a drug that…

Diaries - I did not keep diaries except for a few months in my life and I’ve since destroyed that one. I tend to write things out when I’m upset or trying to work out a problem. I do them in a letter form and then destroy them once I have it written out. Like @Machka9 I don’t want people reading my thoughts. I do have all…

@mytime6630 - I hope your husbands tests come back with good news. I am up for a 5lb challenge, this morning I weighed 188.6 but think I better check tomorrow too as that seems low to me. Yesterday I was 190.2 @Faebert - you are such an inspiration, I really mean that. I am just in pain from my hip and you had major…

@PackerFanInGB - i follow Mike Rowe’s mother on FB. She is hilarious. Her post today made me think of you.

Heat in the house - I grew up in a very cold house and swore I would never be cold again. I keep the heat up in our house but last week when we had to keep it exceptionally high so our pipes wouldn’t freeze was even too warm for me. On Saturday evening they ended our cold weather warnings. Today at lunch time it reached 0.…

JFT - Monday Jan 20 2l of water Log all food Gratitude journal Move for 15 minutes I need to get back into some of my habits. I am feeling too sloth like, maybe a bear as I’m storing my fats. Catch up later Everyone have a great day

Rebecca - I so agree about how it’s nice to think of a passed parent and think of the warm fuzzies. My Dad has been gone 7 years this past December, I get those feeling more than I used to. I hope someday I no longer remember what he looked like in his last week or so. Hugs to you on your Mom’s birthday.

@Machka9 - I so miss the nature associated with camping and also sitting around the campfire. I like the breakfast cooked over an open flame too as long as someone else is cooking.

Heather - I am with you in allowing children to be children. I have an older cousin who pushed her children all the time. They never had time to just be kids. Those now adult children have major issues, drug abuse and mental health issues. A lot of studies have been done now about play time and how it has long lasting…

I’m behind again but will try to catch up. Camping - I have done the tenting thing a few times but am not a fan. I grew up in a house with no running hot water, wood heat and cold mornings. To me I camped my whole childhood. I did it for my family but didn’t really enjoy it. Katla - I like your idea of camping though. I…

Wow I was 47 posts behind. @HEGoddard0928 - I had to laugh when @PackerFanInGB asked about the laundry being your new dishes. I agree with you 100% I miss the laundromat for the high counters and also the speed. I could get all the washing, drying and folding done in just under 2 hours, now it seems like an all day event…

Rori - Happy Belated birthday Karen - so sorry about your fur baby. Machka - I’ll have to look up Leduc and see what we rate as. Lanette - thanks for asking, the furnace is still humming along. I received the invoice yesterday almost 500. Considering we would have froze to death and had 1000’s in damage of broken pipes I…

@clicketykeys - I am struggling for enough hours in the day just like you. I find it so hard to keep up with my goals and work too. I need to find a way to make this a priority. So I didn’t meet my goals yesterday and didn’t even set them today. I’ll try again tomorrow JFT - Wednesday Jan 15 2L of water Log all food

Hegoddard0928 - you should be proud of yourself for getting your water goals met everyday this year. I am struggling to get back into the habit. I know once I do it for a few days I’ll crave it. It’s just so cold! I hope that whatever your medical issue is that it’s minor and easily fixed. You and Matt deserve a break.…

Michele - I just love your ceramics!

Barbara - our park rules probably wouldn’t allow it. I am not sure what happened yesterday we’ve had these cold temperatures the last two years as well. I think though that I left water running overnight in previous years and I didn’t the other night. I remember my Dad putting hay bales around the house in winter for added…

Good Morning I actually made my goals yesterday! First time in a long time. We had a fun day yesterday with the extreme cold here, first our cold water froze up then after getting that going our furnace quit working. I dread seeing the bill for the furnace repair when it comes in. Hubby was upset about it but it’s not like…

@jeschepp - welcome back! I’ve missed you
