2020 sure is a struggle. I read through 4 pages yesterday, after being gone since Friday, one thing really stands out. We are stronger than we think we are. Many are going through some pretty rough stuff, and we are going THROUGH it, not stopping the the midst of it. Saturday I delivered a three tiered wedding cake and…

Thursday: Caloric 300/70/400/400 WATER! Walk--already did it at 6:30am Finished Kitchen before leaving for work Print Service for Wedding and go over it Walk tonight if not too hot Got up this morning and walked early, felt great afterwards. Missing my morning wake up with coffee in my robe, but that would mean getting up…

Tuesday: 100 ounces water----NOPE, 60 walk late at night if possible, arm weights if not, NOPE too hot Finish writing wedding service, Half way done Stay on track with calories 300brk/70 snack/400 lunch/50 snack/350 dinner YES Spend 20 minutes in organization mode working on sewing studio set up, 10 minutes, and finished…

Hello and Happy Tuesday! Today is going to be a scorcher! 99 expected, and still at 96 at 8pm tonight, I should have gotten my walk in this morning before work and that did not happen.....so I may be in a predicament LOL Yesterday didn't quite go as planned, I did manage to not interfere with dinner makings when I got home…

Hello! Hoping I can join in for daily motivation, encouragement, and accountability. I just spent a "cup of coffee worth" few minutes reading the last couple pages of the thread---Already I am encouraged! I am in a health battle with endocrine issues, and have had to switch things up after a 7 week stall. And the shake up…

Still have not recovered from the weekend! Friday: signed up at Planet Fitness, hubs, daughter and myself. Son and his GF already signed up Saturday: went to the gym and checked things out a bit, got an appointment set with the trainer Sunday: shopping and Farmers Market, 5 hours! Monday: trainer appointment, and then did…

I'm seeking sanity.....can anyone help with that? Oh wait, we are all over 40, guess that's doubtful :laugh:

Hey there....came to work to rest a bit again lol. Trying to figure out if we are going to do anything on the long weekend...I think afternoon naps sound like a great thing to plan on! Kine 12 & 13 yr old boys huh? I can see why you would consider military school....Now if they were 12 & 13 yr old girls I would most…

Happy Monday to all! Seems I came back to the office to get a break LOL. I spent all weekend cutting out and sewing Seahawk Scrub tops, every day my daughter works she brings home more orders! I think we are up to 25 now LOL JFM congrats on 100 pounds, that is SO inspiring! Seems so far out of reach, I will just have to…

Larro: YEAH for Mamma coming home, I bet that will make her SO happy. You guys have all been busy on here over the weekend! I have not read it all yet...BUT I am still laughing at JFM's fan story.....Are you bringing back 80's hair??? JFM: Steaks are simple, just don't over think it. My favorite is Rib Steak, and if I…

Wow, Thursday already....have no idea where the week has gone. Woke up today to another cloud coverage, some drizzles last night, and still a layer of sand everywhere from a sand storm Tuesday. The cooler morning (low 70s) was SO refreshing today. I did manage to get some of my flower pots replanted last night, in the…

I am on 500 mg twice a day. regular not XR. Metformin would not make you tired though, unless you were on it for several months and your vitamin B level is low.....You need to supplement a B complex when on Metformin. Now Metformin is not a 'weight loss pill" It helps regulate insulin, with PCOS and insulin resistance you…

Oh. MY. WORD, JFM that is hilarious! Dang dirt, I bet he was a little depressed after that lol I remember when my son, who is now a 22 yr old Sasquatch, was so impressed with his newly formed arm pit hair that he would twirl it while he watched TV. I always threatened to braid and bead it.....still threaten that actually.…

Whew....what a weekend. Daughter turned 18, AND got her first real paycheck, so I swear we were shopping 60% of the time, and I HATE shopping. Went to bed last night really wondering where the heck the time went, as I had pretty much NO down time. Then got to work this morning and no internet....I am dead in the water…

Yes, I am very proud of my girl. I have a 22 year old son who has worked the same job for 4 years, and is a shift supervisor at a plastics manufacturing company, he is the boss over men twice his age.....I got two very good eggs that for sure. Yes, Caramel, that is my English Bulldog in my picture, her name is Kippah and…

Good Morning all. It looks like it will be a great day in Central Washington, which means high 80s to low 90s instead of 100s. That is a welcome treat! The wild fires are horrible here, I am in the Valley just east of the Cascade Mountains, but there are fires in all directions around me. Many homes lost, and Thousands of…

Kelly, we moved from an old Craftsman style 2 story house to a brick on story this year, the new house has new roof, flooring, and windows. Oh. My. WORD the money we are saving on heating and AC, not to mention how nice it is to be all on one floor. My hubby also have knee/hip issues and he is so much happier now too.…

I have lost my 'back boobs' already lol. most of my weight is in the middle, but I have PCOS and that is common, and will hang on for awhile I am sure. I have never reached the LAST so I have no idea lol

I am doing the same thing, I first went to bump up my mid day meal, and stayed there for a week or so, then I am creeping up to morning. I think by adding a mid morning snack I can do that comfortably. Breakfast is not normally great for me. I went many years with eating nothing at all until around 2pm. Breakfast for us: I…

We just Aria last week, of which I named Mr Evil. The weight has not fluctuated, but the body fat percentage sure has, I lost 2.2 pounds and my body fat went up almost a full percentage.....how does that happen!

So I wanna be a cool kid..... Oh wait, let me rephrase that. Hey, I am cool, can I join you? I am 48, and been overweight most of my life. Was diagnosed this year with PCOS so now I know WHY losing weight is so difficult. Seems like that has empowered me a little. I started a new job, after being at home for 18 months and…
