Love the title of the new spring thread! Let me think on this.... Will be back!

Hello all

Thanks for the new thread WoodNymph! Sashay is exactly what I need to do!

Hope everyone is well... I just poked my head in to say hello....
Bed is beckoning....

thanks for starting the new thread, arabella. it's been a while since i last checked in, but have been thinking about you all. this winter sure hasn't been the best for me physically, but up until the last couple of weeks, i hadn't really been using that as much of an excuse to get lax. recently, though, i have gotten very sloppy with my food plan. no more of that, though! will come up with my plan for sashaying into spring. take care, royals.

Oh, Thank Thee, Faire Arabella, Queen of the Spring Palace. Yes, the thought of the Vernal Equinox bringeth to life the inner Queen. 'Tis also the approx. time I shall be returning to this brick and mortar palace from DDs. Surgery set for 3/7 (hosp. arrival time be 5:30 a.m. Stitches come out 3/21 and then home as soon as seems prudent.

I'll think of goals but suspect it might just be to get through with as little setback as possible. Stopping some meds as of tomorrow and going to need to be real gentle with the old body.

Ah flower, would resist even the purchase but how can I when the smiling little purveyors are my only two grandchildren? 3 boxes already packed for helpful young neighbors, five for freezer. Looked at the Thin Mints last night and said no - for as you say, it would be the whole box.

Okay, goals, timelines, ect ect....

I HAVE to make myself excersice. I have all these plans once I get to Florida but in the mean time I am just twiddling my thumbs. I must move my body 30 minutes every single day! {other than mom/cleaning duties}

I need to drink more plain water too. I am doing okay food wise. I used every single flex point this past week, but once they were gone, I knew no more splurges. Thankgoodness I start over today.

Scale goal? I would like to up it to 1.5 pounds a week lost instead of the 1 I have been doing.

I would like to start meditating as well. I have a few get started books and they have been just collecting dust. Would be a great way to rechannel my stress.

Hi Queenies! Wheat I had on Saturday night is making me feel the effects today: tired, achy, stuffy, cranky. I think I've got to cut out bread on a regular basis and just have it once in a while even if it's spelt.

Walked to the gym and back this a.m., did the circuit training and came back for yoga. Drinking the water. Will I meditate and have fun? I hope so, but like most of us it seems to be the hardest!

Starting tomorrow, I'm going to print out my list of goals and check things off through the day.

I've got to get going here... Y'all!

Done 1 to 185. I guess I should be happy it is moving in the right direction, right? I want to see bigger numbers, lol.

I have a cash offer on my house. I am countering cause she is insane if she thinks I am going to give it away. The realtor will be over today so I can sign the counter. We will see..... fingers crossed.

Hello all...

Anagram.... Here's to the surgical procedure (s) going well....quick healing, minimal discomfort and lots of spoiling by dd, ds and the princesses.....
They will let you use their internet right???

Flower-- Smart girl! Its true, you have to play the game to win! Sometimes folks counter more than once too!

WSW-- Yes, decluttering is good for the soul....I am doing scheduled decluttering now at the job. One thing for sure, the result of knowing " check the file room first" sure makes for less sweat on the brow....

Why I hate filing so is a mystrey.... seems almost like a waste of time until later when you are looking for something....

Ceara--- local lady here pup won a big dog show.... It was interesting to read the paper and instead of thinking " Do I know this lady?" instead, thinking of you and wondering how you were.....

Ok...

Stress eating is a real downfall for me. I have proven to myself that eating is my #1 coping skill....

why am I suprised.... because I was sure it was a willpower issue.... yes, I know I've been saying I know better... but NOW I really do know better....

So....

Onward, forward,


HERE WE GO WEDNESDAY, HERE WE GO!

Thought of the day:
"When in doubt, just take the next small step."


Question of the day :
"How often do you take the steps vs the elevator?"

Tra la!

G'mornin', Angelic Queenlies! Glad to see all doing better.

Crossing toes on your counter offer. At least if you comes to terms, a cash offer will go more quickly and you'll be on your way. That was the way the third time offer I mentioned way back went for us, at least. It was cash and a really nice buyer.

Wood Nymph, glad you're down to your 3 lb battle weight again. Me, too. I'm down to (somedays) just above that Onederland number but then I've been there so often

Yes, Kaylets, I'll have internet access (much better than my own) and hope to keep up while I'm gone. I hate filing too and,worse yet, sorting out old files. Have been glad I have some semblance of order though as lately I seem to have needed lots of old records.

wsw, looks like some spring in your area. Hope it's helping you feel better. I'm off some of my meds now and treading cautiously.

So it's off to maybe buy some more underwear, then some other things I'll need. Stocked up at grocery store yesterday - not done yet. I have lots of sweet people who've offered to drive me around when I get home but don't want to take too much advantage. I'm sure I'll need a lot over the period of a month.

Basics will do it, ceara. I can't seem to get with/stay with them long enough any more to see any real progress. My plan had definitely been to lose five this past month and instead I'm still working on the same three pounds I was a month ago.

To be nice here today - hopefully more snowmelt. Backyard still looks pretty, esp. w/bluesky and light little fluffy clouds.

So I'm off.
