  • Oh, man, it’s late! Yes x 3. Adjusted my calories back down to sedentary last night, and came under.
  • Hi, Rick! I’ve got a lead on a part time position working with remote learning at a local non-profit. If I get it? Great! If I don’t? That’s okay, too. I have a small business that I had to shutter temporarily due to a blown water heater and subsequent subfloor damage in January, and thanks to the virus it took seven…
  • Yes x 3! While I thought I had moved my last bed a week ago, I found myself moving another one today. All the good a 7 day break did me physically was undone in one transport, further solidifying I made the right decision to retire. Even though retirement stress is good stress? It still affects my appetite, so I haven’t…
  • My gratitude list for today: * Day two of three in the books. Retirement on Monday, 3:30p EST. (But who’s counting? Oh. Right. MEEEEE! :lol: ) * Baby Kitten’s eyes are getting ready to open. She is 8 days old, today, so she made it past the second hurdle; first one was the first night, second was the first week. * I had to…
  • Hey, hon! If we are road tripping I pack a cooler with nutritious snacks; fruits, nuts, cheeses and water. Lots of water. Upon arrival I log everything I put into my mouth and keep track of my totals throughout the day. I’m funny about getting too close to my limit. I also try to only sample a little of this and that.…
  • Yes x 3. I’ve got to re-calculate my TDEE, as I’ve probably moved my last bed. I’ve got to train my replacement over my last two days at work. I see cleaning out my weight room and going to get my VR headset back out for my workouts in my near future. Had a five day weekend and it was lovely! But I was soooo lazy; only…
  • I’ve been sooooo lazy! My gratitude list: * The five day weekend; it was like dipping my toe into the retirement water, and the water was FINE! * My exit interview this morning. I blew the curtains back on my “all about himself” boss. I was PC about it, but got my point across. #winning * My work family. I have forged…
  • Yes x 3. Came in under, logged it all and did more housecleaning for 30 minutes, I can see that I’m going to have to clean out my weight room and get my VR headset charged again. Been on vacation since 3:30 pm last Friday, and I’ve basically been a slug, except for cleaning out our rooms that we crammed full of the stuff…
  • Pass day number 1 for me. I ate under goal, but was sleepy and didn’t take the time to log. I also did about an hour of housework. Kitty is doing well. Been feeding her every couple of hours and I feel like a new parent, lol. Tomorrow will be a new day.
  • I’m grateful that the powers that be gave me a newborn kitten to care for. She was abandoned (see my post on today’s check in) under our porch. I’m grateful that I am crafty, have found things to do to unwind during this last week being affiliated with that hospital. I’m grateful for the friends I’ve made and the support…
  • Yesterday and today, both. Been having problems accessing the group on my tablet, but I nailed both days. I am on Mamma Cat duty round the clock. A newborn kitten (complete with fresh umbilical cord) was abandoned under our porch Friday afternoon. My husband heard her distress cries, thinking, initially, it was one of the…
  • I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Take some down time and enjoy it! You’ve been busting tail for months! :heart:
  • What a crazy past couple of days! I’m grateful for:* my former boss, who is my long-time friend for recommending me for a part time opportunity doing what is in my skill set. I should find out if I get it next week. The preliminary interview went quite well; * the five day weekend I am taking for Labor Day. * the oncology…
  • Yes to all! We were short handed at work today, so I was behind beds for 429 minutes. Whew! Tracked everything, will be way under today on calories. Knocked out 13,103 steps and my feet are feeling it! Have the next six days off. Much needed rest.
  • I’m going to also jump on @SuziQ113 ’s gratitude train. :heart: I am grateful for my boss’ horrific attitude. He made me soooo uncomfortable that I had to explore other options, and because of that, I am retiring from my COVID-laden hospital job. My last day is 9-14. I’m also grateful that said boss made me non-exempt in…
  • Yes! Logged everything, came in under goal, and got 264 minutes of moving patients around. Whew!
  • Yes x 3. Was a busy day, and handed in my retirement notice, so there was within calorie goal celebrating. :smile:
  • Yes x 3 yesterday. Couldn't pull our groups up on my mobile last nite to log it, but I made it!
  • Actually, I think I just read about some planets aligning over the weekend. I'll take that! :smiley: I'm glad you got rid of your stressors, too! No stress is too small to not be gotten rid of. :heart:
  • Up early. Started laundry at 6:30. My elderly doggies aren’t sleeping through the night like they normally do, so I was restless and ready to get up. All laundry done by mid day, some cleaning, and grooming the dogs. Go figure, I had a face mask handy to keep all that fur from getting in my nose and mouth. :lol: Logged…
  • @SuziQ113 , that cold brew recipe looks great! I’m going to have to try it! @BMcC9, I’m going to enter #drillsandchills2020. My Halloween canvas came last week, so I’m going to set aside my WIP for a bit and kit up the new one, since it starts on Tuesday. 🤗 In other news, after reading many of y’all’s sage advice, I did…
  • Thursday, Friday and today I got it all in. Exercise Thursday and Friday was moving patients, today was hauling my three cats back and forth to the vet and some housework. One pass used, two days left! 👍🏼
  • I managed to get it all in! Meant to post this last night, but I got really distracted; i was applying for jobs till almost bedtime. But I nailed it! Only one pass day used, so I see no reason why I wouldn't be in the Winner's circle this month.
  • Yes to all three.
  • YEs to all three...didn't get back in here to post last night, but I did get them all done.
  • (As a disclaimer, I only ate one meal and there is now way it was more than 1700 calories, lol)
  • Pass day 1 for me. I exercised, and came under but was way too lazy to log.
