Hello, again!

 emoticon I've been on and off in the past year emoticon . Am back for at least autumn emoticon , maybe winter emoticon .


My sister visited, and she, who has lost 70+ pounds emoticon was looking good emoticon , and shopping her own closet from a decade ago, made me want to follow thru on my plans, bette emoticon r. She is a 'weight watcher' and other than writing down what she eats emoticon and going to a meeting once a week for a weigh-in emoticon , plus she walks her big dog emoticon at least daily emoticon , doesn't do as much as I do in terms of online engagement emoticon when I'm active on this site emoticon . I ran around, clicking and linking and liking and getting points, but she lost more and stayed on track. Her results were real emoticon , not virtual. emoticon

So I may keep it simpler then I have in the past, focusing more on results emoticon , less on process.

Blessings of success during this waning moon! emoticon emoticon emoticon

    Welcome back! Yes, SP is a form of social media too just like FB only with a specific purpose. Just like keeping our food portions in check, we have to keep our computer time in check too.

    Nice that you have a REAL person, your sister, on this journey with you.

    Hang in there!

    I think that this site can be addictive and we end up spending more time here than working out

Blogday 13(-5)_100days: 'How're you getting groceries?' (& some bi*ching & whining)

Image
  A team I'm on posted the q: "How have you been getting groceries". I started to answer, but once I got into it, and got personal, I opted to not post my very long answer to clog the thread, so I'm posting here. Most of the team did some form of online ordering. I go in and shop, sometimes taking advantage of senior hours, sometimes doesn't work out w/schedules. Also, 4 times so far, my sister, who's an essential IT nursing home worker, and out and about for herself anyway would get us stuff, but she's very into meat and not great at veg. {Okay...here's the bi*ching & whining}: I have no one else to tell, except my one sister (not the IT one, the ww one) and have already said after this is over I am leaving or not doing it anymore: I'm very picky*/specific about veg as is mom about random stuff, and she's 80; I currently live with her (and dad, 85), and still get shouted at because nothing's ever perfect—but the whole fam knows that an

Solstice Blessings

  Blessed is he who speaks a kindness; thrice blessed is he who repeats it. - Arabian proverb This is an issue for me today, and everyday, as I am working towards managing anger better. I sincerely believe that "Spreading goodwill can return to you"...basically moods are catching. Living with mom can be a trial...she is often playing the martyr. SPARK says: "This quote can be read in a few ways, and all of them are worth thinking about. First, complimenting and encouraging others is one of the easiest and most powerful ways to be a positive force in someone's life. As long as you're sincere, repeating that encouragement as often as possible can have effects that far outweigh the effort. Countless people have exceeded their own expectations just because others believed in them." This is true, and I found it to be so as a teacher. But sometimes, like with family, it just is not appreciated. "Second, giving positive feedback works even better if done publi
