Actually, some very good "random" thoughts, Marney. Stress is a killer in more ways than one. Meditation. Self-pampering. Tai Chi. Deep breaths. Those all help me. I am here believe it or not. Just super busy. Once again, I have staffing issues. My foreman is retiring the end of the month, leaving me with only one staff…

Oops, want to put this in the other thread.

I was really into Cheese in the Trap and then it had the WORST ending! 16 episodes and #16 ruined it. I can't seem to find anything else right now. Thought I'd try the new Rain series, but the first episode lost me. Just too stupid and loud. I'll try #2 because it is Rain, but I already have my doubts. I started Witch's…

I've caught up to present with Cheese in the Trap. It's kept my interest. Right now real time for one drama is about all I can handle. With Big Bang and Downton it gets me a week through on the stationary bike.

Finished Ghost. Looking for something new. Tried Madam Antoine. Not doing it for me. I don't know yet.

Beth, I hope everything goes well for your sil.

No gains, and some nice losses! Yay. Good start to this week's reporting! I'm taking tomorrow off work. I'm heading to my kids tonight to begin a weekend of dog sitting. I'm taking some good food, but, I included a bottle of wine!

Didn't budge this week! But didn't gain either!

You will love Ghost. I'm not a big crime fan, but this is very interesting, keeps you guessing, and in suspense. As far as eye candy goes, that is pretty common. Although I think I like So Ji-Sub because he is a little more mature than some of the others.

Love her story, Pam. Now, if you could find some way to force my weight loss back on track like you did with Terri, I'd be grateful!

We have a huge Irish/Celtic festival here every year. Irish step is huge, but some Ottawa Valley Step Dancers have entertained. Some fusion groups, too, like The StepCrew. Wow, I would think the controlled beat of a March would be harder than a jig or reel to maintain. It sounds like a lot of fun. I agree about not letting…

Oops, auto correct said "wants" or "once" above? Probably because I voice posted. Same as "every" for "ever."

I'm starting with this post and what I find hardest and what I find easiest. As you will see, I think you could call me an impatient hedonist! I find the 1st one the hardest. I'm not a very patient person. I tend to want to see results, want others to meet MY goals, and I give up too easily in some things. I actually do #8…

Beth: Claudine isn't here yet, but she will be wants she is up and running again on the computer. As far as Nancy, I don't know that she has every posted since you got here. The thing that impressed me most about Nancy when she first joined was her goal at the age of 80 was to look good in boots and jeans! For some reason,…

I agree. I have the hardest time with #1 and the easiest with #8! What does that say about me? An impatient hedonist? >:) What is the hardest and easiest for you?

Never feel bad about holding steady, Marney. That in itself is a victory! Interested in your dancing. Columbus is huge in Irish Step Dancing, but I think it is so stiff. I love the Ottawa Valley style of step dancing. I think the English Clogging is more like that, isn't it? A little looser than the Irish Step? When I…

Wow, nice first month of challenge, Beth! Marney, I usually dance when I can't get to the gym or outside. Turn on the music and let go. It is a good workout. You are so right, too, we did have the grumbles. So, starting right now...positive thinking ladies! Also, I have invited someone to join us. She has been my friend…

A BLT-A!

I do it all the time. Might add veggies, cheese, whatever. I might make an bacon (precooked bacon), egg or egg substitute, cheese breakfast sandwich. I especially like to use Southwestern Egg Beaters (or you can use real eggs) and add jack cheese, salsa, some guac for a South of the Border vibe. If making a sandwich, I use…

I watch them on my smart phone on the stationary bike. I tried listing all the show I have watched. Didn't hit Pam's 100. I had 65. I know there are some missing, but probably not too many. But, I do watch other stuff when working out. Big Bang and some British shows. Also, I watched Dear Mom (Taiwanese) which was 84…

Yes. She is in The Master's Sun with So Ji-Sub. I liked it even though it was a "I see dead people" genre. Talk about great second leads! It's Okay, It's Love has more substance than some. Some scenes were just heartbreaking. I didn't watch it on Viki at all so can't tell about the warning. Speaking of that, does…

I recently had a lot of back pain and I was also blaming it on my sciatica, but I hadn't been doing my stretches and working out while I was sick over the holidays. When I returned to the gym and started stretching, I was fine when I stretched my lower back, but, I felt like going through the roof from pain in my lower…

I'm feeling back on track. Didn't get any exercise in yesterday though as I had a lunch thing and then spent evening at grandkids so my DIL could have an evening while my son is out of town for two weeks. This week has once again brought home how important just moving is. Not working out, but being active during the day. I…

I have never kept a list. I think I will try to formulate one someday. I have often said I was going to watch My Girlfriend is a Gumiho. Just something new always seems to pop up. I did like Kimchi Family. A liked a lot of the restaurant/cooking based ones. Pam: How are you liking It's Okay, It's Love. Very different isn't…

Lill! Yay for you! .8 is significant!

I am starting a K-drama discussion right now!

Lill, you can get good ideas from other's diaries. I have stolen many a good meal. Beth just had a baked potato with feta cheese I'm going to try, but would never have thought of. She asked me about my Noodles and Company Whole Grain Tuscan Fresca dinner that I had yesterday. Sharing diaries can help eliminate the same…

Gayle, I swear my virus didn't work it's way through the internet. I feel for you though. It is not a fun one. Really zaps your energy! The high tea sounded fun. Mary, you know you can do this. We all seem to have fallen recently. We are cheering you and each other on! Pam, I need to find a new K-drama today. I'm all done…

Beth, I joke that I have lived in Columbus since 1983 and I haven't seen snow yet! I'm originally from Erie, PA. The average yearly snowfall in Columbus is 26". In Erie, is 100". A few years ago when Columbus got 38" for the year and everyone complained, Erie had 146"! Cleveland area is about 68" and Buffalo area about…

January 16: 151.5 January 22: 151 Goal: 141.5 Lill: I got a box of Special K Pastry Crisps for end of day (some days) if I have calories extra, but I can eat a whole box easily. This time I decided to leave the box in the car and only take a pack in if I know I have the deficit to eat the 100 calories. If they are in the…
