@KeriA Thank you for starting this thread. I actually felt relief when I saw it this afternoon. The crowd has been thinning, and I would really miss everyone if they "disappeared". I have commitment issues apparently, or why do I jump in and out like I do??? I'll try to do better this month. Gotta run now but am looking…

CW 234.1 Sept goal was unrealistic so I'm revising it. Realistically I should say 231 but would love to see the '20's! I need to really commit to a plan instead of hoping and wishing for success. I came back from my quilt retreat weighing in at 230.6. We had eaten a lot over the 4 days and I was expecting the worst. I…

Accountability results for Wed: No muffins! 😀 PO, Civic Center, grocery store, and I need to go somewhere to find gifts for retreat members. 😀 Classical stretch video. * Totally spaced that off. I wasn't home most of the afternoon and was packing tonight. Just thought about it now and I just can't make myself do it. Pack…

Tuesday PM: I didn't eat a lot today but it was not healthy. Where are the tums when I need them??! I feel icky after the past three weeks of eating lower fat meals and today I'm up a little on the scale. I'm going to start cooking healthier meals when I get back home next week. Accountability results for Tue: I will not…

Hello September! I arrived home from Texas last night and am happy to report that my daughter's refrigerator had lots of good food, but I ate a lot less than I do when I'm at home. At home, we seem to have an awful lot of high fat foods that my husband brings home from the store (he does 90% of the shopping) plus the other…

August goal: 230 I’m still at my daughter’s house and right now am waiting for the baby to wake up so we can start our day. Daughter is still working out her work schedule and has a meeting soon. I’m in charge of baby 3 days a week and this will be the last week until I go back home. It’s been busy! There are a lot of food…

CW: 237 Aug. SW: 235 GW: 230 The scale keeps going in the wrong direction, especially the last couple of days. I have two more weeks to reach my goal. I also haven't been checking in here lately with all the shopping trips and packing for my trip tomorrow. Plane doesn't leave until noon so I won't feel too rushed in the…

Sunday is almost done and I spent way too much time watching the latest season of Alone: Australia. It is my all-time favorite show. But I got a few things finished and there still an hour of possible productivity if I get in gear. Up on the scale again for whatever reason?? Doing this every day has helped a lot with…

Tag time! @CupcakeCrusoe You're going the right direction. I need to hear about this crystal tree of which you speak! I have never heard of that but it sounds very interesting. Hope you got your relaxing time in today. I Marie Condo(ed) my clothes drawers about 5 years ago and I still get a thrill when I open up my t-shirt…

whoa! What happened to the first 5 days of August!? My family left on Sunday after a weekend of goofing off and throwing caution to the wind. I was feeling pretty bad all week tummy wise so I made better choices the last two days and hope that helps. 🌞 What is an area that you've already applied yourself to and have shown…

Goals for July 31: Bold means yay for me! I will log everything I eat.(I was down a pound today after logging yesterday. If that's what happens, I'm going to be more faithful to log). Do some kind of exercise (grandson and I played catch with a motorized ball for awhile, not long but I'm going to count it). Make the bed.…

July 30 update: Bolded goals were accomplished. I need to add reduce screen time next week. I've been doing better but could improve. Weight today 236.1 No July progress but I would have been shocked if I had lost. I will log everything I eat (low on protein and fiber. Super high on fat). Do some kind of exercise…

I've concluded I'm a terrible friend on here. I try to do better in real life but maybe fail at that, too, sometimes. Anyway, I'm here today and still hanging at the same numbers I've been at for ??? years. Since I gained during the pandemic. Between 233-238. This has to change. I got my Wegovy pills in the mail but the…

Crickets!!! I'm making progress on my goals. My morning and evening routine are becoming more regular and I wake up around 7 or so even if I go to bed later than planned. I get up, go out to the patio and write 3 Morning Pages. Wow! I love that!! It's a great way to start the day. I've been getting to be earlier, too. I've…

I've been going to bed before 11 the past couple of nights and then I wake up after 5-6 hours and can't go back to sleep. I set my alarm to go off at 7:30AM so hopefully one of these days it will wake me up. the 5:00 hour was great though because I got up, wrapped up in a blanket, and went outside to write my morning…

Hi! I'm back and feeling a little better today. I started reading a book by Julia Cameron. That led me to write Morning Pages, 3 pages of any random thought that entered my brain. It was really good for me! My daughter from TX called and we face timed for awhile. The baby rolled over for the first time today at 2 1/2…

Rita here. We're a third of the way through the month and I'm just now checking in. So many excuses! We were gone tripping 18/30 days in June and a few more in July so I didn't weigh very often. June 30 4000 road miles later: 239.4 (yikes!) July 9: 234.1 (Whew! That's better) Hopefully I can see 230 by the end of the…

After 9 hours on the road yesterday, I'm back home from a 5 day trip and am ready to get to work for a few days. We're leaving on Friday to go to our state high school softball tournament only 100 miles away and we will only be gone 3 days this time. My granddaughter is playing for a select team that played 53 games so…

@GR8TAWK Thank you for the welcome! Allergies are awful to deal with. Mine seem to come and go as they please. I'll be on a road trip for the next 8 days, a combo visit/softball tournament/sightseeing trip so I won't be in touch much if at all. I hope to get lots of walking in once we get to our destination. It's time for…
-
I may not be posting for a few days (7-8)) because we're going on a combo visiting/sight-seeing/softball tournament vacation and leaving tomorrow morning. I guess I'm packed…sort of. I'll see what I can do on my phone about keeping in touch. It was 9:00 and I hadn't gotten any workout done today. I have been so tired since…

Another rainy day here so I stayed inside and went through a few small boxes. Also I cut out the sashing for the block of the month quilt I made a year ago. My daughter and I got together once a month and did one block using the paper piecing method that we learned. It was fun, and now it's time to finish up and put it to…

@oceanmelody Thank you for your welcome! I'm so jealous of your meadow walk. Seriously, I'm happy for you that you have that opportunity. I used to walk in hip high grass using my trekking poles to keep me upright before we moved to town. I do miss that more than anything. I'd love to hear more about your adventures and…

Thank you @Joy1580vb for the welcome. It's been raining here all day (Nebraska) and we're on tap for another 2" or more tonight. Lucky we bought a house on high ground so we'll be OK. Hope everyone else is, too. We moved from a 16 acre plot and I decided it was getting too dangerous for my husband to stay. He's 75 and…
