@swenson19d - lol that Orange Mud thing. I couldn't tell if it was fake or a real commercial! Hope you got paper done and appts go/went well! @quilteryoyo - yay on size 8. That's what I am also. Even with my weight being higher than I want I still fit in my 8s. Thank goodness! You got it this time! @shanaber - Same with…

@avidkeo - so glad your DH is stepping it up. @shanaber - loved the pics, the hat, but especially Hobbes with his treat board! I had a fun visit with my mom. Helped her with all the tech stuff. We ate out every single lunch and dinner. I was so full at one dinner I didn't know why I was even eating. But she never gets to…

OMG I'm just so sad with all the news in here! I came in to post a terrible story too. But was so shocked with @shanaber and @avidkeo's news! @shanaber - that must have been just awful. I think fireworks were so insane because we are now in the roaring 20s and everyone is celebrating since they assume covid is over. Brutus…

This is our first 4th of July at the condo and OMG!!! It was insane. At first it was kind of cool, "look at all the fireworks we can see from our balcony". But was the first 30 mins. It went on and on and on. Our dog got an upset stomach and I was up many times with him in the night. At least 5 times! It came out both…

@avidkeo- That's so cool you got an E-bike. No parking for staff? Ridiculous!!! Hope DH shapes up. And great job not binging. We got laminate many years ago in our family room and the kids' rooms in our house. It worked out great with dogs and kids. Wood is nicer but expensive. We got wood in our bedroom about a year ago…

Thanks for the UTI info. My mom gets them all the time too and she is not having sex anymore. Consider yourself very lucky, ladies! It is awful and I hate taking so many antibiotics. For the fourth we will be at the condo and grandbabies are coming (I hope if my DH is better from his cold, which you would think was a…

@rheddmobile - that all sounds extremely stressful. I was talking to my brother tonight about how when my grandfather had dementia/Alzheimer's it aged our grandmother 20 years in just a few short years. Or it seemed to in our opinion. Good luck on car search. @swenson19d - yes Spark notes are the new Cliff notes! I LOVE my…

@quilteryoyo - that's a great picture! My son's birthday is also the 7th of June. @shanaber - DD is fine. She does have AC in her apt. She said when she walks outside it feels like she is in a car in Florida in the summer that is turned off. She came to visit for two weeks end of May and that was great! I go out to…

Hi! I'm fine! I had to take a break for a while! Just got too busy with the end of the school year, plus I taught 2 classes online the last 16 weeks for the online college where I teach sometimes. So I was too busy and something had to give. The class just ended and I declined teaching the next session because it was just…

Okay! I'm going to sign up anyway. :)

@shanaber - sorry - I've been in a funk and haven't checked in. Sort of a post covid funk (even though I've had my vaccines now!). Just been feeling blah. No reason I should though, I know that. I was feeling depressed about my weight which is so stupid because it's really just a few pounds but I just am not happy at that…

@quilteryoyo. - the puppies! So cute and you look great too! @shanaber - loved the pictures of Hobbes and you! Great news for your DD! What an interesting position 1/2 patients and 1/2 helping IT. @bearly63 - hope your son takes it! After a year of COVID in NYC I would think he'd be ready to move. @swenson19d - I was…

@shanaber - that's great about the IF and the sugar levels! Sorry you are in a funk. It just happens sometimes. I feel so full and miserable. Ate candy tonight (peanut M&Ms) - not sure what is with me either. And glad Hobbes is feeling better and close to all the way better. I lifted today and was thinking - all this…

Peppermint Vodka! I’m not waiting until Christmas time to try this! Ok, the weekends at the beach condo just don’t seem to work with keeping weight off. I was happy to see I was down Friday morning, before we came here. And this morning I’m up four pounds. I know I didn’t eat that many calories and it’s the sodium, but…

@rheddmobile - wow!! I'm impressed with your husband! @cmorning99 - what is an alcoholic hot chocolate!?!?!?! I want to make myself one! Aren't we supposed to pick up good habits here!? @avidkeo - As long as there is no lightning and you didn't get hurt riding, the wet is just a pain! Netball - fun! On track yesterday and…

@rheddmobile - that is insane! I'm furious for you. :rage:

I think I missed a lot of news here! Things are okay. I got my first Pfizer vaccine on Saturday (k-12 school employees in FL are eligible). As for food - doing slightly better. Went down 2 pounds. I just finished Atomic Habits. It is helping me stay more on track (drop bad habits and add good habits!) Some of the things…

@shanaber - yes, I accepted a class that starts in a week - but it's not programming. It's a class that is just about Microsoft Office (COMP100). Very boring to teach but much easier - the assignments are automatically graded so and I just need to do a lecture once a week and grade their discussions which is easy. It is…

It seems my M-F week is so busy I can only check in on the weekends. I almost started this post with "Class," because I have had a lot of work with the online class I'm teaching! When I am not at my regular day job, I'm working on the online class I took this coming Monday off because I am exhausted. have barely left my…

Sorry, I'm just not good at keeping up with y'all anymore! Such a busy group. There is a zoom meeting? I didn't see where it was posted, but I probably can't do it anyway. My weight is still in the range I don't like but not in the danger zone. I'm eating too much sugar! I got a thyroid test and that was fine. I think it…

Oh good! I came in here to see if you all were getting the skanky friend requests too. I use both Windows and Apple. Mostly Apple these days! My rollercoaster weight was down today.

Wow, I didn't realize I hadn't been here since 2/2! I had 50 messages to go through. Read through quickly. Sorry no time to reply to everything! I had a really busy week at work. I was in a meeting the entire week 8-4 and then I would have to catch up on my regular work after that. Then in the evening I had to grade and…

Had to take a quick minute to post my before/after w/Invisalign! @shanaber and @bearly63, were right, it was worth it! This was 11 months. I had to wait a few weeks for the veneers to go over my two tiny "peg teeth" that are on the sides of my two front teeth on top. Got those this morning! Now that I see the before, I'm…

Hugs to everyone! We are a mess but I think that sums up the whole USA and I guess rest of the world right now. It's all just so crazy. @eleanorhawkins - so sorry for what you are going through with your DD. I was a teacher the last 20 years in a high school, but taught mostly boys, and honestly they are easier to deal…

@shanaber - sorry about your hip. I'm with you, planning on running until 80+! That said I have not been running much with Peloton, ever since Holiday Streak ended. The bread - yum! @quilteryoyo - weird, I also tried a sleep meditation the last couple nights! Mine was on Peloton app. Saw you did 3 one mile walks.…

Today is Dhs birthday so we both took the day off and stayed an extra night at beach. We got there late anyway because we had appt for MIL and her BF to get vaccines on Sat morning. That went okay but stressful with the two of them. We take them back in three weeks. Hopefully they won’t run out! @Avidkeo - sounds stressful…

Under desk cycling is fun! I have to drink cold water because I get too hot. But that’s good, I need to drink more. @RunsOnEspresso - what a pain! I have LifeLock and have for years because my DDs identity was stolen when she was 18. More tomorrow!

@avidkeo - that is an amazing motto! I love it. It's like the you never regret exercise. But perfect for food! Thanks for sharing. I need to write it up and remember it!

@swenson19d. He’s so cute!! Omg I was howling at your cat-match post. @avidkeo. You are doing so great!!! Amazing! It’s so mental isn’t it. When your head is in it, anything can be passed up! @quilteryoyo. You are doing great. As the others said it will come off soon! @shanaber. So glad you got your vaccine. I want mine…

@shanaber - thanks for the info on the Longevity series. I have only seen the first one, but plan on watching this weekend. @swenson19d - You sound like my high school students each year when they came back in January. Some of the top students would take a few weeks to get back in the swing of it. You can do it!…
