I have been here 45 days and today I hit my first goal....10 pounds lost! Twenty pounds to go and when I get there, I will see if I can do 10 more. I am committed....I am strong...I am changing my life.

  • Good Afternoon! @cathyb60 , welcome back to a fellow "hooker". 😉 It's nice to have you here! Good luck with your restart! Maureen, I go in spurts depending on my mental state. Right now I am a bit manic. I kinda hope it lasts till spring. 😁 Going to go out today and pick up chicken for soup, not to mention I just need to…

Made meatballs yesterday...enough for at least a half dozen meals. Day 80—01/14— 176.2 - I finished my afghan last night. Very pleased with how it came out. Can't…

  • Good Day, all! Lana, thank you! I am glad I got my crochet mojo back. I have always enjoyed doing it. They are still working on the apartment downstairs....I can hear the banging and the drills. They should be finished today, though....I think all they needed to do was install the miniblinds and clean the bathroom. And…

  • Happy Hump Day! @deepwoodslady , thank you SO much for your kind words. I already started another afghan for one of the grandkids....I want to make them each an afghan so they have something to remember me by. @frankwbrown , many thanks!

  • Good Afternoon, all! I finished my afghan last night... I am pretty happy with how it turned out. Now I will work on the grandgirls and grandboy's hats. My daughter wants me to make her an afghan so I sent her some photos I found on line to give her some ideas. I just made some more Jello Fluff....that will be a nice low…

  • Good Morrow! @mgalsf12 , welcome back! Lana....full moon? Uh oh...😉 Maureen, oh, to have a garage. I do miss that. Made meatballs yesterday. My daughter called me just as I had started, so I put in my ear buds and talked to her while I made them. Was nice to have the company and it made the process go much faster. Now I…

  • Good Sunday to all! Lana, I hope your ice melted too...that's nothing to mess with. Our temps are going up to 41⁰ today so what snow/ice there is here will be gone. I am finally working on finishing the afghan I started crocheting last summer. I was going to give it to my granddaughter but it looks so nice on my sofa that…

Look at it this way... you now have plenty of time to spend on losing weight. 😉 @deepwoodslady , mine went up from yesterday too, despite my eating well. It…

  • Howdy Everyone! @cdahl383 , HI! Nice to see another SS (serial starter). Best of luck with your plan...sounds like a good one ! I did get a walk in....at the grocery store. Not only got salad fixings but stuff to make chili. Made a double batch yesterday and have lots over for the coming week's meals. It's been a bit noisy…

  • Good Afternoon! Remember....weight fluctuations are perfectly normal when you are doing everything right. Your body compensates for changes. Day 71—01/05— 177 - My egg lady texted me....her hens are laying again, so I went and picked up 2 dozen. I plan to hard boil some for snacking and adding to salads. I am ready for the…

  • Good Fri-Yay! Going to try and take a short walk today. We'll see how it goes. Need to test the water in my aquarium too. Not sure what my food will be, but I need to pick up salad fixings. Keep smiling! Sandy TMW - 176

  • Good Thursday! Maureen, you are better than me....I haven't logged since Christmas and I know I have to get back to it. Lana, I skipped breakfast. Having quiche for lunch, so I guess you could say that's brunch. 😁 Had to wait for my son to text me the length of his foot before I could finish the first slipper. Finished it…

  • Good Afternoon! @Tilliesmommy1 ,whatever is going on at your work, I hope it gets resolved quickly. Lana. I hope they can't climb up steel racks because that's what I put the seed on...the top of the rack. I have a feeling that leaving the door to that room opened at night may have given them easier access. I also put a…

  • Good Evening! My brain is playing tricks on me...I thought I posted....sigh.... Christmas is all put away in my spare room. I was feeling good....putting out my everyday stuff when I moved some boxes and got a shock....the Styrofoam container I have my birdseed stored in was broken into by mice! They had a feast.....lots…

  • Good Evening, All! @daria0919 , that's so cool! If I had a house, I would love to have chickens. @iradi8 , wow....that's great! I do 2 dozen at a time since it's only me.

  • Good Afternoon!! @mkculs13 , I am feeling better today, thank you! Still relaxing with the heating pad, though. I thought I wasn't going anywhere today, but my egg lady texted me this morning and said she had 2 dozen for me, so I pulled the cover off my car, drove over and got the eggs. I plan on hard boiling some for…

  • Good Day! Good luck this week! @coopdaw , WOW....that looks delicious! @DaffyGirl88 , looks like your plateau has ended. Great job! @dawnbgethealthy , hope you get your holiday stuff packed up. Mine is packed but the bins are still in my living room until I am sure my back is ok. I am in no hurry. Day 71—01/05— 177 - My…

  • Howdy, troops! Maureen, I have a 70 year old body with a 25 year old mind and the mind can't reconcile with the body. 😂 I keep wondering why I can't do this or that the way I used to? Then I sigh and do the best I can. I used to be in good shape too, but I don't have the excuse of a knee issue. Lana, I get awakened by the…

I didn’t make it. 😁 Day 64—12/29— 177.6 - Feeling a little off mentally today. Going to spend time with my son and family today. Moving the goal up a bit until…

  • Good Day! @Tilliesmommy1 , I did laundry yesterday, too...it was falling out of the hamper. :D And a forgiveness project is very worthwhile. Brings peace. Maureen, the weather has forced me to scale back on walking too, unless I go to the mall and walk. And that is too tempting...LOL! Lana, sorry you had trouble sleeping.…

  • Good Afternoon! I was out shopping with my daughter today....she bought me Chic Fil A for lunch....not the best, but I haven't been there in ages. My back still isn't 100% but I'm glad I went....needed the exercise. Didn't buy anything but helped my daughter pick out new bedding. Lana, thank you! I am glad I got it done. I…

  • Good Afternoon, again! @Zaxa2021, hang in there. I don't expect to be back to my pre-holiday weight until next week. @iradi8 , I am a little better today since I got a couple errands and chores crossed off my list. THANK YOU!

  • G'afternoon everyone! Maureen, an overseas trip....how exciting! I envy you! Enjoy your dinner out! Lana, I was able to clean the aquarium....I feel very accomplished. 😁 The snails are happy, I am sure. I want to get a couple fish for the tank, soon. And I did remember to changed the flower water. Got to CVS and picked up…

  • Good Day, All! Forgot to post yesterday....a bit depressed. Post Christmas blues? Perhaps. Things to do but little motivation to do them. MUST clean my little aquarium today....that will help. And change the water in the flower vase....I got some flowers for Christmas and I want them to last. And the cuttings from my…
