Daily routine - Usually up at 4:00 am Feed Katrina Kat (absolutely has to be first as she will tell you) Coffee and snack (so coffee acid won't make my tummy hurt) Check MFP and other emails, respond if needed Plan the day's food and liquids (what I eat isn't a high priority for me, but I do keep track) Then if it's a club…

Do you already have a daily routine that includes your healthy meals, fitness, and your well-being? * Yes, and over the holidays I didn't stick with it too well, but I'm back on the horse. I do best on vegetarian Keto, so I plan to stick with that. I've been on maintenance for about 15 years, but I plan to lose another 5…

* I've been going to the gym to work out with a trainer for an hour, but I plan to go at least one more time each week for at least an hour each time. * I will start walking around my new neighborhood. I use a walker, but I can still do the walk as long as I avoid hills that are too difficult. * I am revamping my food plan…

I've been on maintenance for about 15 years, but I feel like I need to lose another 5 pounds and develop a food program that fits my new lifestyle. Now that I'm retired, I find myself a bit more sedentary than I want to be. I still go to the gym, but I want to up my game there, too.

The volcano has stalled. It's still flowing, but stopped forward movement just under two miles from the main cross-island highway! Both volcanoes are active, something of a rarity. But seeing pictures that show the red-hot lava in both volcanoes is certainly humbling. Amazing to see earth forming - can easily imagine the…

Our Moana Loa Volcano began erupting last night so the whole island is in a tizzy. I pray my friends who live in the path of the lava flow are safe. We never know just where it will go, so we're on alert status. Any pictures are both awesome and frightening.

Ceri, as you know I write an individual blog that everyone is welcome to read. I've written on that blog since 2008 and includes everything from travel to recipes, philosophy to gardening, and more. Would I be permitted to post that link here? Or do you want only blogs that are written on MFP?
-
Ceri, when will we start signing up for the winter challenge?
-
I don't think I've written to this "overall" group since late September - even before we officially began this fall challenge. Once our individual teams got going, I forgot to come here. So I caught up on most of the reading and I want to remember to come back more often. So many of my old buddies from SP are on different…

@Dianedoessmiles1 I have moved so much all my life, but I hope this is (one of) the last! I was a preacher's kid and we moved often, then I was a Navy wife and we kept moving. Then I was a preacher and moved a lot, so it's hard for me to settle in only one place. My brother and I both start rearranging the furniture if we…

I'm just going through the last hoops of buying my new home. I don't move in until October 24 to give the sellers time to move into their new place, too. I'm in no hurry, though. Now I need to get my current home sold! Anyone interested in a 2-bedroom condo in Hawaii?
-
@macrat12 I have always enjoyed reading your temperature checks, thoughts for the day, encouraging remarks, and more ever since we were on SP. I never did take the time to write and tell you how much I liked to read what you wrote. Thank you for your contribution to our chats all these months/years!
-
I've left a couple of messages on the link for the In-between team and forgot to post here, too. Anyway, I'm happy to see so many of the old gang here, plus a few new ones. Yes, we're a very active group so join us and take part in our various conversations.

I've been mostly MIA this week, but it was a week of doctor's appointments and making decisions about where I want to live. The result is that 1) my eyes are finally recovering from the allergic reaction to the medicated eyedrops and 2) I'm planning to stay in Hawaii but want to sell my condo and buy a small house. Also, I…

@dianedoessmiles1 - that's normal for me year-round, and if we want snow, we go up to Mauka Kea - loads of snow up there. Beach to mountains in Hawaii.

There is a pool here and I love doing pool exercises. It actually lets me feel like my legs are working when they don't work on land. I also work out at the gym at least twice a week. I have a trainer who keeps me on my toes.

71 degrees, cool and cloudy here in Kailua-Kona HI. Just the way I like it!

@Tabatha_Cain I have lived in Hawaii for 27 years but thought I might move to Florida and recently decided not to move.

My goal is to maintain my weight, but I wouldn't mind losing another couple of pounds. I also need to firm up what I have - summer was a lazy time for me. Too much sitting at the computer. I am working on my leg strength. I found a few places where I can do a few miles on my walker.
