June 2024 WISH Thread- Jumping into SUMMER ☀️🍉🕶️

[PAsFab5]

Been reading books here and there but not much I have really enjoyed recently. I will share “bossy pants” by Tina Fey is great if you are a fan of hers.
If you don’t mind some questionable language I highly recommend Christopher Moore’s books, specifically his early stuff…I have lost track of how many times I have read “Lamb.” Also “Good Omens” is a fun read.

Great suggestions thank you!!!

Whooooohooooo it’s Wednesday!!!!! What are you celebrating today!?

I am celebrating 30 days of my new routine-getting up early and reading/journaling then doing yoga. Next week I will get up 5 minutes earlier and then I only have one more increase until I get to my “goal time”!

I hope everyone has a great Wednesday!!

I love that goal! I'm terrible about getting up in the mornings! I guess I shouldn't say I'm terrible about it (because I get up on time every morning), I just hate it lol! If I incorporated something positive in my morning routine, maybe I'd enjoy it more. I'll have to give that some thought!

My woohoo today is that after a bad month of May (as far as weight loss), I'm back to below where I started May, so I'm just pretending that my gains in the middle/end of May didn't count lol! I am grateful to be back to my lowest again and it has kind of reset my mind!

Woohoo... I woke up to actual sunshine coming thru the bedroom window. Clouds have since rolled in, but dang I saw it!

Woohoo... I have my monthly massage appointment tomorrow and boy do I need it.

Woohoo... I have Friday off for my facial/lunch birthday celebration.

Welcome to Thankful Thursday!!!

What are you Thankful for today?

I am thankful that the rain seems to have ended!! It rained like crazy from 5pm last night…but now everything is watered and fresh so that’s a good thing!

Thankful to spend some time with 2/3 of my kids and the loves of their lives at a food festival tomorrow evening where DH and I are meeting them for dinner!

Make this Thursday a great one!!

 

[Oneanne]

I too am thankful for the change in the weather... finally! Yesterday the clouds broke, we had full sun for most of the day and the temp got into the 60's. It felt so, so good. Reviving. After work I went down to the nursery and got enough dirt to finish filling in the big bed and planted out the next set of dahlia seedlings and threw down some mixed seeds. Tonight, it will be mowing and weed whacking.

I'm thankful to have had very few meetings the past few days, so I've had open time where I can force myself to focus and get some tasks done.

And I'm thankful that today is my Friday and that I have fun plans for tomorrow.

Thankful for the wonderful pediatrician my kids have had since their original one retired. He is moving to one of the Carolinas to be near family and we will miss him but thankful for him and all the doctors at this practice.

 

[PAsFab5]

We made it!!!!!! Happy Friday!!!! What are everyone’s plans?

Posting early because my mother in law and I are going to a community yard sale early in the morning tomorrow and I don’t want to forget to post!!

I am babysitting tomorrow and then going to a Latin food festival for dinner!

DH and I are walking at the SPCA Saturday morning and Sunday after church I have coffee bar duty for 2nd service!

I hope everyone has a great start to their weekend!!

Sorry I've been MIA - sometimes this thread just gets buried and I forget to go find it.

But I can take the last week (and I promise to set a reminder in my phone! )

My social media has been filled with “Summer reading lists” So I wanted to ask the group-what is your favorite book you have read recently or your favorite book ever? You can also share both!!!

I think my favorite series is still the Harry Potter books.

The latest book I just finished is:
- about the nurses in the Vietnam War. I would definitely recommend it!!

And the book I'm currently reading, true to my screen name, is the original Pollyanna, by Eleanor H. Porter.

What are you Thankful for today?

Reminded by the anniversary of D-Day, I'm thankful for all the brave service members I've known.

 

[newski_mom]

I took my mom to the doctor today and I'm thankful that everything was going good. We had a good drive there - I always enjoy spending time with my mom, so just thankful for a good day!

 

[newski_mom]

We don't have much going on this weekend. Tomorrow we're going to see Bad Boys at the movie theater and it will be shown with Dolby sound, so that should be kind of nice.

Tonight we talked about going to the Cardinals game, but I think we've decided against that. We'll probably just stay home and watch it on tv.

I am going to try a new recipe tonight - one from Zach Coen's patreon. I joined it recently and he does have a lot of easy low(er) calorie high protein choices, so I've been looking through there picking out some to try.

The facial was really good and my skin is very happy. I’m signed up for another one in July and one in August. I got passing marks for my skin care and did not hear the dreaded “dehydrated”. Well done me.

We got up to the mid-seventies today, so basically right on to summer. Being hot and sweaty never felt so good.

Tomorrow I’m going to be gone most of the day, leaving around 7a and getting home around 5p… if I get lucky and can get on the ferry I want.

Saturday hooray!!!!! A quick quiz for the start of the weekend!

I got:

For the record-I don’t like sushi at all LOL

The 5k was this morning and I finished. Did I knock it out of the park? Nope but I finished 7 mins ahead of the goal I set for myself.
DS11 on the other hand did amazing at just over 30 minutes!
Important thing is we set a goal and achieved it.

I got fruit - I mean I like fruit, but "faaaavorite" is kind of stretching it when the competition is things like lobster and pizza .

 

[PAsFab5]

Ladies-I am so sorry I am so late posting here!! You all have been on my heart all day but I just went from one thing to another and here it’s dinner time almosg and I am just now wishing you a Happy Sunday!!!!!


I hope everyone enjoyed some time today doing something that brought them joy! It was my week for coffee bar at church and that certainly brings me joy!!

Wishing everyone a great evening

 

[ShannyMcB]

Happy Monday! What is motivating you? How do you stay motivated after achieving a goal?

Congratulations! That is a great accomplishment!

My motivation this week is going strong until we leave for vacation at the end of this month. I had a bad May (weight loss wise) but am back to what I started May at. Seems bad, but it's kind of made me know that I can do this and keep losing!
