Anne - Home all is well when you look outside today. :# Marie - Your lunch sounds quite yummy! We had a wonderful time at the Tiny House Festival last weekend. Since returning home, it seems like each day has been more busy than usual. I don't think that is going to change for a bit. We have no interest in living "Tiny."…

Anne - I am sorry to hear about your friend's husband passing. There is a lot to be said for village life. I felt a bit of a twinge as I returned home to visit mine this past week.

Looks like it's taken a cooler turn here as well today. Last week I was enjoying shorts and sleeveless tops in Florida. This weekend, my husband and I will be attending the "Tiny House" Festival in Eatonton, Georgia. I've checked the weather and it looks like I will be in jeans, sweater and coat. Should be fun anyway. And…

Good afternoon. I've missed my FMP Sneaker friends, but I did enjoy my trip last week. I'm back home all safe and sound. I had a nice visit with my sister-n-law last week in Lake City. Tuesday night was dinner with family. Wednesday, I helped her with some things around the house and we spent a lot of time talking.…

Deal breaker

Well, this is a Monday weigh-in (instead of Friday) but I still wanted to share that I lost 1.5 pounds since last Monday. The scale had stalled a little for a couple of weeks, but I stuck to plan while out of town and was rewarded on the scale this morning! o:)

Best friend

Good evening, It's late but I wanted to drop in before going to sleep. I arrived in Lake City, Florida today at 3pm and have had a wonderful time with family. My sister-n-law (Betty) made a wonderful dinner and we were joined by my niece, her husband and my nephew and his son. (My nephew's wife wasn't able to make it, but…

Sandy - My Florida time will be spent in the northern section of the state. I will be spending 4 days in Lake City with my sister-n-law, 1 day in Tallahassee visiting with friends and 1 day in Crawfordville (a little south of Tallahassee) enjoying a fish fry with a bunch of my cousins. It should be a nice break from…

Sandy - Great job on your weight loss. I hope to following close behind you with mine. Buzz - I never cease to be amazed at how quickly everything can change. I can't imagine what this person is going through from this accident. Lin - So sorry to hear that your friends husband has not improved. It's good that you can be…

Perfect score

Good morning, Today is still super busy, but it's the first day this week that I've been able to wake up and enjoy a cup of coffee and a little quiet time before the day gets kicked off. Anne - I was absolutely thrilled to see a post from you. I know it sounds a bit odd since I only know you from posting in this group, but…

Have a very busy week and will probably not get to check in much. But I wanted to stop by to wish everyone a wonderful and blessed week. <3 Marcella

Buzz - I love fried okra! No matter how well I'm doing with my eating plan, during okra season, I enjoy cooking fried okra for the family. I typically do a bunch at one time and then put the left-overs in a bag in the fridge after dinner. My son will actually eat the chilled left-overs out of the fridge like chips! Well,…

Updated goals this week: :s 1. Get through the week and still manage to lose my 1 pound weight loss goal 2. Get back in the kitchen and do what I know I should be doing in there 3. Complete the office tasks

Jeri - Looks like you have been doing a great job lately with your steps and tracking daily calories! Hope your friend in Florida is doing better. Jackie - I think your trip in May sounds like a lot more fun than the freezer defrosting task. Enjoy the chili. We’re looking forward to a trip down to Florida in April. A nice…

group dynamics

Good luck with mid-terms. How much longer till you get your degree?

This happens to me sometimes. Something changes in my head and I can't figure out what it is or what's different or what caused it. I think, for me, it seems to happen when my routine gets messed up and/or when I've eaten certain processed foods. I typically have to stop and remember the routine when I started and sorta do…

So sorry to hear about your father's passing. It sounds like work will be difficult, but, sometimes I guess it can help to just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Keep doing what you need to to take care of yourself.

1. Log 6 of 7 days each week 2. Exercise 3 days 3. Make a weekly menu plan and execute the plan 4. Complete my office tasks 5. Work on creating a new morning routine
