Great escape

I'm not quite sure what happened to this week. But I'm looking forward to setting some goals for this coming week. :)

1. Did okay on the foods. Could be better. 2. Unfortunately did not get as much sleep as usual due to repairs and painting being done on our house most of the week and I may have stayed up way too late on election night. 3. Did 3 of 5 days. 4. Didn't get the menu plan done, but I did better over all with food prep at home…

Happy Birthday, Marie!!! :D <3 ... and wishing everyone a wonderful week. Marcella

That's impressive. Best wishes with your upcoming exams.

Enjoyed reading about everyone's weekend and plans for today. We are having our house pressure washed and painted this week. So, today we will make certain that we have the correct paint colors and that any shrubs are cut back away from the house. I am also going to attempt to create a menu plan for the week and stick to…

New growth

Sunday 11/6/2016 I lost 1.4 pounds this week. :) Happy to be going back in the correct direction again. Marcella

It's already looking like this will be a busy week. We have house painters scheduled Monday through Wednesday. So I'm hoping I will be able to get the sleep I need and still be up and about when they arrive each day. We have lots of house projects right now along with normal life stuff. Groceries have been purchased for…

This week I have done well with avoiding highly processed foods. The exercise could be better. Alcohol was okay. Didn't even walk into the sewing area. (Had an outdoor painting project that needed to be done.) For me, sleep is the area that mostly dictates everything else and this has been my most difficult week for sleep…

What a morning! No hair appointment for me after all. I left home this morning and immediately noticed the truck was pulling to the right. So, I stopped to check the tires and noticed my front tire was going flat. Fortunately, I was still close enough to home to drive back. My husband inflated the tire and told me where he…

Driving up to the camper tomorrow (Friday) for the day to check on things and to get my hair cut and colored. Will need to get up much earlier than usual to arrive in time for the hair appointment. Probably should have gone to sleep earlier tonight. :# Wishing everyone a wonderful Friday. :) Marcella

Well, I've set a hefty goal for New Year's Day. I reserve the right to change it as we move along. But things are going much better now. Things are as back on track as they probably can be. I'm doing much better now by getting the highly processed foods back out of my life. (You'd think I would eventually learn my lesson…

Looks great. I like the extra goal. :)

Lin - Sorry about the tooth. Nice idea, though, to be picky about who you trust to do the extraction. Hope the tooth doesn’t bother you too much while you’re waiting for your appointment. It’s sad that we live in a time when shooting police officers can be glorified by some people. We should honor those who risk their…

Oct 31st I weighed 167. I think I will aim for 155 pounds. My lowest weight for the 2016 year was about 155 so it would be a good number to get back to by Jan 1. That will be 12 pounds.

@babhat13 - Wow! Impressive weekend! Prayers and best wishes for your continuing and complete recovery from your surgery and cancer. Sounds like you're kicking it in the butt! Good luck with the swim races tomorrow. :)

Sounds good.

Buzz, Thank you for sharing about Mike's "Celebration". That picture is amazing! Not only does it show how handsome he was, but the picture itself, seems to have captured that strength of character you spoke of. Sending hugs and blessings, Marcella

Happy to say that this week is starting in a better place. The weight that I have picked up over the past few weeks is already going down. I'm working hard to finish the year strong. My goals for the week of Oct 30th: 1. No highly processed foods 2. Sleep 7-8 hours per night 3. Some type of activity/exercise 5 days of 7 4.…

I have gained 4 pounds over the past 6 weeks. However, a lot was dealt with during that 6 week period and I'm beginning this week in a much better and organized place. I'm looking forward to the rest of the year and getting back to my lowest weight of 2016 before January 1st rolls around. My high this year (this week in…

Stormy weather

Hasn't happened. But I do have all of our financial info organized and ready for our meeting with the estate planner next Tuesday. (The hubby's hoping to retire in the next few years.) The week has been pleasant and I'm finally looking forward to starting a week in a more orderly fashion. While I did not reach my food…

Jeri - My husband has a beer mug he bought while on a ski vacation in Banff years ago. Have fun. Phoebe - Enjoy the air show! Anne - I kind of need my morning routine as well. Mine starts later in the day than yours, but it still sets the tone for the day. Happy organizing this afternoon. Sandy - Enjoy the Cubs! Hopefully…

Name: Marcella Height: 5' 6" Weight: 169 Goal Weight: 155 lbs As of yesterday, I have gained 14 pounds since the beginning of summer. It's been a long summer filled with unexpected stresses, a family death, death of a friend, unexpected major home projects... No excuse, but is the reason. I've worked hard to survive the…
