Well despite my best intentions, I can't seem to stick to my habit of coming here! I have missed you all! It is gorgeously fall here, with highs in the 50s and lows in the upper 30s. Bright sunshine like today makes me happy. DH has lung cancer. We just found out. Luckily, it's stage 1, so after 4 rounds of chemo, he will…

Hi all. Looks like more rain today; geez I am tired of this weather! My daughter and son-in-law had to evacuated their apartment last night as the next door neighbor had a fire. They were able to get their 2 cats captured and ended up in a motel. I think they are getting back in today. They have some water damage, but no…

Ladies, since I was on last, just a couple weeks ago I can no longer see my home page with the daily updates from people on my friends list. Is this something new? Meg

WOW where does the time go? I was sick a couple days, out of town a couple days, forgot a couple days, then WHAM I haven't been here in ages. Definitely not my intent! I'm really doing well in the food department. The Ozempic does make me slightly queasy most days, but definitely has completely changed my appetite and my…

Hi all this will be short and sweet as I am heading to bed soon! Good day with calories; could have made some better choices but that's ok. I did a teensy bit of exercise. Vicki! I forgot you were in Grand Island. How is your weather faring? We were just there in May doing a Nebraska Passport visit. I was very sad to hear…

Oh Kim I meant to mention how great it is about your doggie sitting! We always have a house sitter whenever we are away. I'm sure you do love the furry attention! Meg

Ladies! I enjoyed the pics of pups and peonies! Our peonies were looking splendid before all the bad weather hit. I do still live in Omaha and yes I teach nursing; nice to be remembered! :smiley: Things at work are going really well after several years of awful leadership that tore our program apart. But now things are…

Hello old and new friends. I am trying to get back on the wagon. Just switched from Trulicity to Ozempic because Trulicity is no longer available anywhere around here. We'll see if that helps. I had kind of given up but now I am so down about my situation I decided I have to make a change. Hope you all have been well and…

Hello everyone. It's nice to see familiar faces! I'm trying to get back into doing the right things. So I'll be popping by! Meg from Omaha.

Hi all! It’s a nice evening after a hot day! I already have about 1000 steps more than I did yesterday on my pedometer. Don’t know if I told you but our beagle was in the hospital with pneumonia. We were blaming doggy day care but then our trainer called us last night and said that the only other dog in our class also has…

Oh, I'll leave one more comment after reading about the fake sugars. Believe it or not, pureed prunes are wonderful as a sugar substitute, especially if you are cooking with chocolate. I have a dessert cookbook with many recipes in it, all with pureed prunes, and no one has ever been able to tell, either by the taste or…

Where oh where did summer go? I had so many plans and didn't accomplish a thing except to gain weight. I did just buy a new pedometer, and my plan right now is to just get "more". It's harder now that I don't teach as much in class. So much has happened here and with you all. I have missed being here that's for certain.…

Hello I didn't get to the board, but I have tracked my food for the last two days. Things are going well. We have been doing a lot of big remodeling projects here and now it's time to start the master bath. It will be taken down to the studs. I have been to the two tile places the builder sent me and OMG is that…

Hello old and new friends. Here I am again, trying to stay on track and get a little healthier during the summer! I cut down on food last week and exercised 4 days and lost 4.2 pounds! I updated my previous weight today, so I'll post that loss tomorrow. I wanted it to be accurate. Hoping to be here more...take care, Meg…

Happy New Year! We are in the process of having the entire inside of our house painted...every closet and door even. Moving things is enormously difficult because we have so much "stuff"! We aren't even painting and we're exhausted! They are working on the lower level now, which wasn't too bad, but the next two floors will…

Hello all. I'm on a 2-day streak, yay me! Vicki: our snow didn't stick around much. Wow, it sounds like hubby has been sick! I'm sending healing thoughts~ good idea for both of you to use the gym. We had our 25th wedding anniversary reception and the band we hired (friends of ours) ended up not being able to play because…

Hello and seasons' greetings to everyone here! I am still lurking about, mostly sliding backwards, but I keep attempting to stick to some kind of routine. While I do enjoy the ability to work from home, it has played havoc on my attempts at being healthy! Weirdly gorgeous here today; we had snow Saturday and it will be in…

Hi ladies. I am still lurking. Meg from Omaha

Hi friends. I keep swearing I'm going to get here at least every other day, but I don't seem to be able to. I did lose 1.3# this week. It's hot and dry here. We're planning to go to an outdoor afternoon concert today...we'll see! Remodeling is finally actually occurring. Exterior painting starts tomorrow with the power…

Hi ladies. My life has been nuts lately. We got an 8 week old beagle. She's been on the go constantly and only sleeps about 2 hours in a row. Last night she slept for three, so we were celebrating. My boss is trying to "guilt" me into taking overload. First it was this summer, and now it's next spring. I told her no more…

Just popping by to say hello. I am trying to get here every couple of days. Our old cat still doesn't know what to think of the kittens and he'll really be wondering this Saturday when we come home with a puppy! Nice here the last few days. Hubby working away in the yard. Finals are tomorrow, then things will slow down for…

Hi to all. Work has been keeping MIA but finals are next week. Hooray! I did lose 5.9 pounds in the last 2 weeks, so there's some progress!

Hi everyone. It's kind of cool and misty here today. Makes me want to sleep, like I need an excuse! I'm trying to stay focused and work here, but my two new kitties are making it difficult! They just woke up from a nap. Lisa: I just had to laugh out loud at your rant. I'm in the same camp as you! I'll be glad when this…

hi ladies. I am back and going to try this again. I'm not having much success and feel like I need a total reset. Meg from Omaha

Still slogging along here.

Hi ladies. Just a quick pop in to say hi. I'm still around! Meg from Omaha

Hi friends. Today was DH’s first day of home confinement, so after I had lab drawn, we went to breakfast. We were going to get take out but it wasn’t crowded so we stayed there to eat. I had the most magnificent blue crab-avocado toast! OMG it was good. Tonight is my first attempt at ravioli making. I bought a press and…

Hi everyone. I don't know where the last 2 days went! We had nearly 12" of snow Monday into Tuesday. Even The Weather Channel was here, that's how exciting it was LOL. Everything was pretty normal by Tuesday afternoon. Now it's just gray and cloudy, but the snow is gorgeous. Thanks for the kind words about my cat. We had…

Hi friends. We are supposed to get 6-8” of snow tomorrow and I have a funeral to go to. Hmmmm. I should go to the vigil tonight instead, but don’t want to get dressed, do hair, etc., at this point. I may think about it some more. This is for the mother of a co-worker who signed up to sit with my parents a couple of days…

Greetings all! I got some food logged yesterday then I couldn't get in for the rest of the day. Grrrr. I'm hanging in there, nothing really new. We are supposed to get snow all week starting sometime today. It started out sunny and has turned very overcast. Lots of birds out and about. We have been on the hunting grounds…
