Happy Birthday Jen, Em, and Julia.
My plans for 2024 are a trip to Las Vegas particularily because I want to take a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon and eat at Hell's Kitchen. There are so many fun things to do in Vegas. I don't gamble but love the entertainment there.
I am also planning a week in Hawaii with my sisters in May. Other than a luau I plan to spend most of that week on the beach. It is cold and snowy here but the sidewalks and roads are clear. When the sun comes out it is pretty sparkling on the snow.
I like the snow but getting antsy for spring. Spring is my favorite season when everything is fresh and green and there are warm sunny days again. Today is a good day to be on the couch with my cat, a blanket, and the gas fireplace running. I am going to watch Outlander and maybe finish a book I am reading.
I am enjoying the article that Teenie posted and thinking o f ways to increase my protein and vegetables. I got out for a short walk today with my jacket, gloves, hat and scarf and really needed that fresh air. The real secret of keeping weight off is the combination of eating well and getting as much exercise as possible.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
So glad all went well with the colonoscopy and I hope you're resting today.

Happy belated birthday.
If you have a tub to soak in and some Epsom salt I highly recommend taking a bath as hot as you can tolerate it and add a good cup of Epsom salt. You would be surprised how much it helps with muscle pain.

Good Morning Jen and Menuers,
Thanks so much for starting us off with a positive vibes and motivation. I appreciate you taking the reins and digging in. If you need someone to step up on a one-off occasion let me know. I will be a little later than you but very happy to help out.
Just got back from my colonoscopy and just like I thought, and you all already knew. I am a perfect ********ee me again in 5 years, The prep sucks but it looks great on the scale. I went from 167.4 to 163.2 in 24 hours. I wi**** was real life. As I try to keep on track, I am reading articles to keep me motivated. This one I found helpful. If you are not following this, you probably need too. I know going back to basics is the only way to recover from regain.

Accountability: I was on a clear liquid diet with no room to cheat.
TSS: 7 years 0-months 27-days 163.2 Lowest (129.4)

Morning gang. Happy birthday LG, and thanks for starting us off. And happy belated birthday to Julia S.
I'm really lucky that I don't drink any calories at all. Even the extras that folks add to coffee add up to a lot, and alcohol can be a big culprit. And they don't make us any less hungry. I'm glad it's one less thing I have to fight.
QOTD: We've got a couple of classes we're taking this year, but other than that we don't have any plans. This past year, especially the fall, was really busy. I'm sure we'll find plenty to keep us busy.

Good morning, everybody!
Happy birthday, Jennifer - you are a such youngster!
Julia, did you watch the FCS Championship last night? I wasn't planning on it, but what a great game. North Dakota State has won 10 Championships since 2011, that is a run up there with the Yankees, Celtics , Canadians or any recent dynasty in any sport.
We only got a dusting of snow, but it's cold here today. I took 2 weeks off from swimming, but go back tomorrow. Digging myself out of bed and out to the pool in this cold weather is going to be a challenge.
QOTD: Yesterday, I was counting the days until my next vacation and realized that I had only been back to work for 3 days, LOL. 2025 is my last full year of work. We are going to Palm Springs with Lisa and Roger during March and are going on a family cruise in June and a friends cruise in September. Hopefully, my oldest will be able to land a job during the next few months.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: Roast Beef
Dinner: Hamburger
Have a great day, all!
