MY SO probably has a similar issue. He's been having a lot of trouble with episodes of muffled hearing in one ear and takes an antihistamine daily, but the ear nose & throat specialist thinks it is a jaw problem rather than ear or sinus. He's supposed to see his dentist about getting a mouth guard thingy to wear at night.
I already wear a mouth guard thingy because I grind my teeth at night, so I'm a little too thrilled that he will have to wear one too. Really I'm hoping that it helps with his awful snoring.
Please let me know if this does work because Mr. Mo snores like a freight train carrying a pod of humpback whales using chainsaws.
Bahahaha! I'm lucky in the fact that both my husband and I are silent sleepers, I guess.
I sleep like the dead. No noise. No movement. And not much bothers me.
I can sleep through alarms and loud noises and terrible storms.
This is my sister. I, on the other hand, am a VERY restless sleeper. I toss and turn like crazy, and the lightest sound can usually wake me up. It stinks, since I'd love to have uninterrupted sleep.
I know the feeling
Tomorrow is the day right? You'll be landing on our shores?
Is this true???
Yup, Saturday morning! Be sure to take care of her well! 0 -
Ok, I can't read back and still go to gym so stopping NOW...but....
@Susieq_1994 I am so sorry you aren't feeling well! Hopefully you can get to a doctor and get some relief...muscle relaxers or something!0 -
Here is the zucchini bread. Each of those squares is 171 calories. I ate them all today at work and do not care. I am so hungry today!!

This morning I called the doctor and said I was given advice to wait to take any medical exams, and she was completely understanding and asked me if I would like to postpone my appointment until the Immigration Office asks for it. I apologized profusely but she said it was no trouble... but I still feel horrible at doing that so last minute and am glad she was so kind to me. I feel like a complete burden to everyone and I wouldn't blame her if she ranted about it to her co-workers after.
I am relieved that I didn't have to get the test today, though.... but that only means I'll have to get it later. They'll probably ask for it in five months or so.
@Susieq_1994 I'm so sorry to hear that you are in pain like that and I hope you get better. Please don't feel obligated to post in this thread (even though I'm sure all of us love your positive posts), you should rest up and relax as much as possible as I'm sure it's difficult when you're feeling so bad.
I hope you get better soon!
Edit: Now I want zucchini bread. Yum.0 -
I hope everyone has a great weekend! @LBuehrle8 I hope you have a safe trip tonight and that your vacation is completely fabulous!!
@FluffySandwich I'm relieved for you that you didn't have to have the blood test today! Whew! Maybe now you can relax over the weekend and not worry about that.0 -

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
I think I jacked up my shoulder last night at the gym. It's been screaming at me and I've been icing it all day. The real reason this ticks me off is because I shouldn't probably lift until it's better, and I WANT to lift, dangit!!!
I'm sorry, hope your shoulder feels better soon! Don't push it though and make it worse.
I am pretty weak in my shoulders I've found out....0 -
Will anyone have any sympathy for me if I say that for the first time in my life I'm having trouble keeping weight on?
Since I've bumped up my exercise with the stairs etc and weights, I've been losing weight again, (slowly but still), although I feel like I'm eating so much more. I'm tracking and even going over what should be maintenance but it's still continuing to drop bit by bit. Eating is a chore at this point, which I never thought in a million years would even be possible.
I'm worried that it's rendering the exercise pointless if I'm not building muscle. I don't want to be putting in all this working-out, stair-climbing and strength-training effort for nothing so I'm kind of frustrated. And quite frankly, I don't really want to be any thinner at this point. My clothes are getting too big, there's an inch of empty space in my bra cups, and my rings are super loose.
I have never in my life felt bad for people who claim they can't gain weight (because how hard is it to just eat some more?!) but it turns out that the answer seems to be that it's a lot harder than I thought.
Ugh that sucks! Have you ever looked on the Gaining Weight section of the forums? Someone may have posted a topic that could help you out with getting more calories in.
I know when people are bulking they said to eat a lot of calorie dense foods like nuts, peanut butter, avocado, ice cream, salads that could be higher calorie, etc. instead of foods that have more volume for less calories.
Good luck.0 -

I also had blood drawn to check my thyroid since both my parents have issues, she put me back on the pill, and I go back in 4 weeks to follow up. As far as my back goes, basically I've got to just try to take Tylenol for now and when I go back we're going to look at trying injections. I'm currently on strattera for the ADD, to see if that helps, and once my lab results come back, we'll know what else is going on, or if my thyroid is okay or not. She did mention my weight, and I told her I was doing what I could to try to lose it, but she's also wanting to address that and go other avenues concerning that. She's concerned my weight could be affecting my back too, so I'm guessing if it's not my thyroid, she's going to try something else. She did mention the strattera has a side effect of loss of appetite, which can lead to weight loss. I feel better, but still a little confused.
Btw, anyone familiar with strattera? Lol
Ugh I am hoping your back feels better @raelynnsmama52512! When will you know about your Thyroid?0 -

She took a blood sample to test my insulin, DHEA, and estrogen levels. I'm still waiting for the results on that. I also went to the doctor today for both a pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound to check for cysts (sorry if I grossed out any guys reading thise
). Hopefully by the middle of next week I'll have the results of next week. The doctor I went to on Monday also suggested I see a therapist since I have been scared of increasing my carb and calorie intake since reaching my goal weight in January.
Good luck with this!
Ditto! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.0 -

Checking in, having a good day today, which makes for 5 good days in a row. Double bonus because I am at work today. I don't usually work Fridays, but am earning extra £££ for our holiday, so small sacrifice.
Had a lovely long walk along the river with @girldownsouth yesterday.
No plans for the weekend, beyond chilling out a bit, cooking a bit, swimming a bit, and chilling out a bit more. Which sounds wasteful of time off. But believe me it'll be such a welcome change from running round after a 2 year old every weekend.
@orangesmartie nice to hear you're having a great day today & your weekend plans sound awesome. Sometimes it's nice just to kick back & relax.0 -

Just know that I'm thinking of you all, between the posts here and in the bat cave.
But in case I don't get back - I hope you have a fantastic trip Laura!!
It must be month end for you too, @Glinda1971! I remember us saying we're both in finance. This week has been brutal!
749 invoices to get out the door and the person who is supposed to help me decided it was a perfect time to do something else. I'm not her supervisor but I'm going to talk to my boss when he gets back next week. It takes 3 full days to do just those so now I have that much more to catch up.
Ugh that sucks! Are you the one who has the coworker who calls off all the time? Good luck with the supervisor.0 -

I am not sure postponing will be good as now it's not over but at least you won't have to do it twice!0 -

See you when you get back!
I am actually very curious as to what the British people call "curry". I have no idea what it is, because according to Pakistanis that I know, the stuff they call curry isn't ACTUALLY curry. I've tried the authentic stuff, but there are so many of them... This lack of knowledge is irritating me.
I love curry! But I have no idea if what I have had is "real" now!0 -

I'd like to post a sincere apology for not responding more to the thread lately. The area of my injury means that any laptop-friendly position is ultimately agonizing, so I've been foruming on my tab while lying down in bed--which isn't exactly post-friendly. I feel extremely guilty for posting and getting commiseration/sympathy while not commiserating/sympathizing with anyone else. 
@raelynnsmama52512 It would be much cheaper to reformat the computer you have and just reinstall the operating system. It will work like new and cost nothing if you do it at home, and will likely be cheap to do at a computer shop if you don't know how to do it. Just a suggestion to maybe save you some money.
Also, my brother tried Ritalin before Strattera and it had some awful side effects (according to my mom--I was too young at the time to remember anything, but she pulled him off of it quite fast because of the side effects), and most others that tried it said the same--so I hope that the Strattera will help you out and you won't need to try a bunch of other stuff.
I want to do a recap and mention everyone here, but I'm afraid that I don't remember who posted here and who posted in the BatCave, and I don't want to bring up the private posts here by mistake. Oops. But I know for sure that I can at least wish @LBuehrle8 a wonderful vacation in London.
Post when you can...we always love hearing from you! Feel better! ♡♡♡0 -

Kick off, already!!!!
September 3rd starts USC's (and I don't mean California!) season and I can't wait!!! Hubby is in Charlotte at the Panthers fanfest for his birthday, (he's 26 today!) I'm so ready for football season!!
Y'all, I am just gonna apologize now because @raelynnsmama52512 and I are SEC fans and we can be obnoxious about our football. I was raised to love God, my family, sweet tea and the SEC!!!
Pshh, who you telling?! Lol! Trust me, Gamecock football is a RELIGION in our family! Basically, on Saturday we're all useless because we're all watching the game, screaming at our TVs about a bad call, and cussing the refs haha! (You could also apply that to hockey as well!) I'm a bad fan, I've never been to a USC game, but hubby has already vowed to change that this year lol! I have no shame, I get pretty obnoxious haha! God, family, friends, and SEC football, that's all you really need in life.
We ring cowbells in our house when State scores. And I am apologizing in advance to everyone here because I can't help talking football...
I despise football. Sorry.0 -

I had some quality time with my Noah too. He has become such a funny little man, and is oh so sweet.
Funny story: He was flexing his muscles and showing me how strong he is, and asked me to do mine, and when I did, he said "Nana, you have bat wings!" and cracked up laughing... he is so silly. I am sure he heard me say that before about my loose skin on my arms.
Welcome back! I'm so glad you got some time to enjoy your grandson and his baby sister!! I hope the little one is settling in well and that her mama is getting at least SOME sleep.
Plus 1
Everyone is doing great, it was an easy delivery, therefore an easy recovery and baby is thriving. Mom is learning to sleep when baby sleeps and yesterday was her first day alone with baby and nearly 4 year old and they did wonderfully. He was a big helper and when Lily cried he sang to her, like I said he is sooo sweet!
Great news!0 -

I totally misread that as attractive and was like WHOA! then re-read and laughed at myself.
That made me laugh.0 -
I was disappointed last night. DH and I decided on an impromptu date night (quick Vietnamese dinner followed by new Mission Impossible movie) I ate only one spring roll and wor wonton soup (left the noodles) in anticipation of a treat at the movies, but our film was SOLD OUT! So we went home and I had fruit and yogurt instead and was grumpy.
Oh bummer!0
