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…

Penny, I meant Penny at the north pole! Sorry!

Wow it's hard to keep up around here! I spent the day grading assignments in 4 different classes. But at least that's the bulk of it for the week. It was very pretty and sunny here today so that was cheerful at least! We are doing some deep cleaning which includes scrubbing grout. Boy does that make a difference! And boy…

HI everyone. Wow there are a lot of posts to read! I cannot find out what happened with Allie, can someone fill me in please? Allie: what ever is going on that I have missed, my prayers are with you. It seems you need healing! So my best healing thoughts are coming your way. Rory: So nice to see you! How is DH? And your…

Hi everyone. I am happy to announce I got my vaccination yesterday and had no problems! My arm isn't even sore. it was like an assembly line, very organized. They had support people filling up syringes and bringing them in handfuls to the injection stations. Riley, the remaining cat, doesn't seem to notice that his litter…

Hi friends. I am still here. I'm hoping to make some healthier choices this year! I started Noom and like the articles so far. We lost a cat Friday. He had cancer and was getting chemotherapy, but it was very aggressive and he went fast. I plan to be back regularly ! Take care, Meg

Oh, yes and I have been enjoying the cats!!!

Hi friends. I am trying so hard to stay organized and on top of stuff, but it just isn't happening. I can barely stay on top of work from home/work from work and lately none of it works. :) In the good news category, all is going well here. DH has adjusted well and I think he is done wanting to eat everything in sight. We…

HI everyone. I'm really trying hard to get into a schedule. Today I had virtual meetings and now I'm going to go into work. It's hard to keep my work time straight! We have settled down and I think we have both adjusted well to the new normal. Leonard can go out for essentials like appointments and church, so he is getting…
