Thank you. Marcella

Well ladies, I will be leaving for Florida in the morning and will be there through the weekend. My brother, who has been ill for some time, passed away late last night. I think I'm going to give myself a break from the computer while I'm visiting with family. Wishing everyone a blessed week. Marcella

Happy Monday. Enjoyed a nice weekend with the family. :) Woke up this morning to our main level air conditioning unit not working. The good news is that the temps should be below 90F all week and the upstairs air conditioner is working so I have the option to sleep upstairs if necessary. The bad news is that the repair…

Gained 1 pound

2020pinktogo - Congrats on completing the first week of training. I'm so happy that you are at a different job now. You were totally due for this! lemurcat12 - Welcome back. Hope it was a totally enjoyable trip. My weight gain of 1 pound this week belies the fact that I actually did pretty well. I'm sleeping much better…

I've done well this week with food choices. I'm tweaking my foods a bit this week to eat more nutritiously and purposefully. I'm also working on being more active. Better food + better sleep = more energy and better focus. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.

Halfway through the week. Doing well with food and logging. Starting to do better with activity. Hopefully, the 2 pounds will follow.

Shirley - You guys have the cutest grandkids. Isaac is a serious cutie! Marcella

Ah yes, mini skirts and go go boots. Those were the days! Don't guess I'll be rocking that look again. Or maybe... Marcella :D

My pleasure. I'm glad they are happy tears. Jilly sounds adorable. Marcella

Anne - This one's for you. https://youtu.be/0FhQxZnSqc0 Marcella

Sandy - Enjoyed your song. Here's mine from memory lane. My big brother, Douglas, would sing this to me all the time. He was about 13 years older than me and I thought he was just the coolest big brother every time he would sing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AkLE4X-bbU

@TristansHawk - Looks like we will be on a similar path for this challenge. :)

Barbie - Happy to hear that they were able to figure out the cause and have a way to fix it. Do be a good patient while you are recovering. Sounds very promising! :) Lin - Love the puzzle! Marcella

@lemurcat12 - Thanks for taking point on our new challenge. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Week 1 Eat quality food, log it, stay within calorie goals, some type of activity 5 of 7 days, lose 2 pounds.

I'm going for 149 by October 31st. It's an aggressive goal for me. But I just really, really want to get to goal by year end and stop messing around. The family has been warned and is on-board. I will be logging all food till year-end and endeavoring to stay within my daily calorie goals with quality, nutritious food. So…

Hard to believe it's been 15 years since 9/11 attack. It was a sad, memorable day. :/

So excited for your new job. It should make an amazing difference in your life.

Labor Day Weekend, I ended at about 2.5 pounds up from where I started. At that point, I decided to give it my all through the end of the year. The family is on-board. I have little charts and sayings posted on the fridge and on my laptop wallpaper. I'm basically tired of yo-yo'ing and excuses. I'm down for the next…
