I'm hoping we hear from Jo, here in Owosso, Michigan. She and I have met, years before I moved here, but I've lost her phone number, and would love to get together with her.

Good Morning Nancy and OFF,
Sorry I've been AWOL past few days. Monday morning, Colleen called me to let me know I need to get the house in order, so a realtor can do a walk through, to let them know what changes, if any, need to be made if they need to put the house on the market. I rent from them. That all depends on if she gets the job in PA. So, I've been sorting, and putting together boxes to give away, bags of clothes I don't fit in, or want anymore, and garbage.
I took a huge walk on Sunday, getting in my 6,000 steps by 12:30. Monday, I didn't do as well, but yesterday, I was just under 6,000 steps. The days I take my walks, my sugar cravings stay in check. I tend to snack on healthy foods. My food on the days I don't walk stinks.
Nancy, I love your plan for today.
Today, I plan to make some phone calls to doctors' offices, to schedule appointments.
Then, I will continue purging the mess I have, sorting and organizing. Right now, it looks overwhelming, but it's not really. Looks are deceiving.
Then, I will walk and try to get to 7,000 steps. Sunday, my total steps were 7,246. That's a total of 3.2 miles. Yesterday, my mileage was 2.24.
I already had my Chobani Greek Yogurt, with granola and hemp seeds. I found some organic seeds on Amazon. I'm impressed with the health benefits of them.
My lunch will be tuna salad with celery, scallions, sweet peppers, and tomato in it.
My snacks will be celery and peanut butter, and cheese and canned peaches.
Dinner will be stuffed peppers.
Snack will be a protein shake made with yogurt, milk, berries, and AnyWhey protein powder. I love that powder, coz it's flavorless, and smells like candy corn, It doesn't change the flavor of a protein smoothie.
Gotta go.
Hugs,
Trish

My plan for Wednesday:
1. be grateful to be alive (stretch and feel all of my loose skin, grateful that it is getting EMPTY and not FILLED with fat anymore).
2. get up and dressed with (great?) enthusiasm...okay. BE AWESOME!
3. Hot chocolate protein drink and meds (getting that metabolism working)
4. Business lunch meeting - lunch order already planned (taking my baggie of seeds
to garnish salad)
5. Return back home and drink lots of tea and water - peeing profusely as the fat is
washed away! (positive thinking & visualization)
6. artwork to be completed for client (another custom order, yay!)
7. snack: yogurt with seeds and nuts (share yogurt with LilyRose or be shamed
by her steadfast glare of disapproval)
8. dinner: salad with turkey, seeds and nuts (I might feed hubby)
9. snack: orange (vitamin C, fibre - orange you glad I told you?)
10. bedtime: hot chocolate protein drink & meds (after giving "THE BOO" the
appropriate amount of attention including "spin-a-roonies" and copious cuddles,
then gently urging LilyRose OFF my pillow and move her to a more
ergonomic location on the bed).
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
11 pm and I am still on track..wow! It was NOT easy but then Rome wasn't built in a day! Step by step, hour by hour, we fight the good fight for our selves, richly deserved.
Julia,
I am so with you on the way things have changed. Sometimes, growth causes a little pain and sometimes growth isn't possible or is prevented by forces that don't like change or don't want things to move forward.
You would think that with my being a vegetarian, I would not have an issue with the bowels but so not true. I put prunes in my oatmeal once or twice a week and it works wonders. Try it.
Let me just say at the top, "I love our new focus!" The fall out was hard on me because I felt responsible, but it has had a very positive outcome.
I'm so enjoying our returning members, and I hope that our reunion day might bring back even more. If not, I still enjoy having old friends back once in a while.
I just went to lunch with my husband and I had chicken with veggies and a very small salad. I am full, drank plenty of water already today, and I feel happy.
Tonight is weigh in at TOPS. I'm sure it will be fine.
I am having some issues with constipation which is crazy since I have been eating some cherries as part of my healthy snacks. I do realize that what goes in must come out, so I will keep on keeping on...

Hi,
Im bored! I guess I need to park my truck under the tree and unload that sucker and try to get the third seat in there! I need it to become a family hauling machine!
Two car seats will be in here soon!!!
Its nice here in the Gulf side of Florida! About 80 and there is a breeze!
Eating is ok for me sort of!

well I'm not home yet but I am sitting on a park bench waiting for John, hubby, and Angela to finish walking. I can usually keep up but we are smack dab into summer and I don't tolerate heat very well. I walked 2 miles and it is a beautiful day, just too hot for me.
Lunch will be sushi, either vegetable or shrimp.
At 2 I have line dancing. I have almost 5,000 steps and I get in at least 5 or 6 thousand during class.
Supper (I'm southern) will be grilled shrimp and veggies, probably green beans or beets. I have a baggie of celery and carrot sticks an another of beef jerky in the car to snack on if the need arises. Of course I also have water with me.
Guess that's it for me.
Good Morning
Out the door to walk in the park. Then line dance. Will be back to chat when I get back and hubby isn't waiting for me to get in the car.
Breakfast....hard boiled egg a little beef jerky and my vitamins
later
