After having the "week from hell" I'm not going to complain about this weeks update at all. I found it difficult all week to eat as you can see from my average calories. I don't even want to know what the numbers would have been if we hadn't had Junk Food TV Night with three good stiff bourbons last night.
Sky was missing her big sissy last night and consequently kept me awake from 3am till 4am this morning wanting attention. Chubby has taken up residence in the bathroom on the kitty litter pail and refuses to come out for any reason. Their food and water is on the counter in the bathroom (our place is so small that's the only place the dishes fit).
Autumn came to NY quickly this year! We went from mid 80s to mid 60s over night. My joints are not liking it, but what are you going to do? Hoping everyone has a great week.

Fall came quickly for us too. Had to turn on the furnace yesterday morning, it was below 60 inside.
Hope this week is a better one.2 -
Yes it's definitely starting to get chillier here in the UK too. I don't mind this time of year, but when the snow and ice hit, I'd rather be back in summer!
Hope you're doing ok.

Ugg, as much as I love the colors of Spring and Autumn, I don't like the weather and the weather doesn't like me! Inflammation in my back is so bad I've got a week of Prednisone and Hydrocodone and they are not touching the back pain yet.

Well, it's been a couple days now and the Hydro is helping for about two hours after I take it, then it stops.
But it sure has helped me get my calories in!
Last night Rick took me out to eat at our little "hole in the wall" town restaurant called Aces Country Cupboard. It's one of those small town places where the plates are bigger than your head and overflowing with food kind of places. For the first time ever I cleaned my plate! (Normally I take the chicken home to go in my breakfast potatoes) Two homemade baking powder biscuits, a scoop of mashed potatoes (approximately 3/4 of a cup) and lots of roast chicken with gravy over all of it and a half a cup of cottage cheese. And it's all homemade, no cans of junk in this place. (Carol Ace does most of the cooking here and she doesn't believe in convenience over quality) Those darn steroids had me practically licking the plate clean. LOL Yet even with all that I was still under my 2300 calories that MFP says I need to maintain the weight I'm at.0 -
So sorry about your back inflammation.
The place you went to eat sounds great! Glad you got to enjoy that.

I slipped yesterday getting out of the shower, today my middle finger is bent and slightly twisted... Maybe I should have had an x-ray? Nahh.
I made this before I fell. It's for my brother's stocking for Christmas. Hoping to be able to make one for everyone on my Christmas list this year.

Oh dear! Is your finger sore now?
Love the craft work for the gift. How thoughtful.0 -
It's only sore if I try to use or bend it. LOL I put a finger tip splint on it. It helps some. Thanks, here are the ornaments that will go with the names:

Looks painful. I hope it feel better!

You know when you have "one of those days," the ones where you feel like nothing is happening? Well, I had one this morning, so I decided that since I forgot to take pictures last month, I'd take them early this month. I was looking at them and while I didn't see much difference in the regular pictures, I noticed that in a couple of them I had "sucked it in." So I decided to do another picture today with my gut "sucked in." This time I could see a difference, and it's not a slight one either!
That look on my face though. LOL
August 10th...
Today...
Even though the scale has been creeping up and my measurements have been stagnant, there is still changes going on! Don't give up.

Nice Mary Ann!
That dress is getting looser every month! What a huge difference in your stomach area. And you are so right, sometimes the scale doesn't move, measurements don't move but changes are still visibly happening. Compound effect of our efforts is always building.

Now if only I can keep my calories where they are for more than two weeks. Working on some new wire crafts today, hopefully that is. It depends on if the hands will cooperate. Hope everyone has a great week.

Got some more wire to make finger splints, now my hands just need to cooperate and let me make them. Christmas is coming too quickly this year. We usually have shopping done by now, but not this year. I'm not fond of shopping. I hate spending money. LOL0 -
I think you are doing great!!!1
