    Those things happen ,Marie, at least you got an apt. with another doctor. Tomorrow will be better.

    I have a sore knee today, the back of my knee this time. I must have done it in Yoga class, I went for a long walk today, the weather was so nice, I came back limping. I have iced it and put some muscle cream on it. Of course I have choir tonight and its my turn to set up the chairs. Always something. :(

    Good luck on the election tonight!

    Hi guys. Sorry Marie my birthday wish is late. It has been nuts here.

    If you guys thing I was crazy busy before I got the knee done........the friends I have gotten in the last 10 years now understand why my longest term friends would call me Tigger. My newer friends have discovered how hyper I am. Now that I do not have to fight for every muscle movement I am bouncing off the walls and raring to go. My quality of life has finally crawled out of the outhouse and into the rose bed. Nutcracker is coming up again and I have been working on costumes for that and as well as our local theater production of the little mermaid.

    I am hanging on by a thread, Marie. Still bouncing between 194-197 and not being diligent enough. Had cake at the reveal party a couple of weeks ago and have not been the same since. My daughter's party was last Saturday with more cake. It's not the cake that's bad, it's the craving for sugar after the cake. :s

    Pity parties are okay as long as we cleanup after them...so no worries, Marie. You should have celebrated reaching 86!!

    Glad you have a new doc and hope all works out for you!

    Marie-I am doing okay, the side effect of all my treatments is my hair is falling out, I got it cut shorter again, hoping to not to deal with so much loss. I know I am blessed by my remission, just was told my hair wouldn't fall out, but it is. More just getting real thin, but tons of shedding. Glad you are happy with your new doctor and it's close, that is great. Janice

    Good Morning...
    Thanks for the b-day wishes! I am healthy, I feel good, and I am stronger than this time last year! :) I have been blessed beyond measure. Will not complain about the evil scale as I am still under 200.

    Marie...glad you are back on track and have your doc nearby.
    Janice...thinning hair is no fun...I keep mine short, too. I also add unflavored gelatin to my tea every morning for hair, skin, nails, and joints. It works!

    Happy birthday Connie.

    Janice....glad you are doing well and in remission

    Marie......good to hear you are doing better.

    Me.....I just walked the dogs over 2 miles this morning. I was given 2 huge pumpkins so I need to start baking those down so I have pie makings. I also have one costume to do beadwork on and one to finish ripping apart because we need to make a larger costume in a week. Luckily I have help with the costumes.

    Hi everyone,

    Connie, Happy Birthday. Hope you had a great one.

    Marie, So glad you like your new doctor and I know you are happy being back on you tatters.
    Hope Dak and the Cowboys have another good game tomorrow. I don't think our cable will carry it and I'm not happy about that.


    Guess I have been in a funky mood lately!!! Just so unhappy with my weight and not being able to move the scales.

    Have a great weekend.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONNIE! May you have a wonderful day.

    The scales did go down but not much. >:) I am supposed to get my meal plan next week from the diet clinic and will probably be on a 1200-1300 calorie plan. So we shall see if the scales start going down after that. I have been trying to eat as I feel and not log my food but I will have to put all that on the back burner if I stay with this program. I know my pants could feel a little looser than they are.
    I am feeling better with my sore muscles from my knee and calf. I am walking like normal and have been taking epsom baths to help and patches. So far so good.

    I am going to make some soup before I start dinner so better get moving.

    Happy Belated Birthday, Connie! I hope it was a fun day for you.
    My son celebrated the big 13 last week:-)

    I've been reading up on anxiety related grazing. I do/have this and am wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of more reading material on the topic. One interesting bit of info I found suggests taking an anti anxiety/depression medication can help with that type if binge eating. Hmmm anyone have experience with this?

    Well, Georgia is burning, literally. We have had a smoke/haze filled sky for almost a week now. Our air quality in Atlanta is code red everyone stay inside. That's what we've been doing anyway. We have had zero rain in at least a month probably longer and someone intentionally set wildfires in the mountains that are making their way to us. It's so frustrating to stay inside when it's 70degrees out.

    Have a great day!!
    Ruthie

    Ruthie - Stay safe, if your anxiety is mild you can take magnesium which helps in anxiety. If it is more than that you probably should see a doctor.

    Ruthie-Stay safe, the fires sounds scary. I'm sure they don't help with your anxiety. I use to be on anxiety medicine, Zanax, but it wasn't a good drug for me, it sometimes made me moody.

    Ruthie...I have a script for Ativan for anxiety. It is a very small dose, and I take it as needed...usually at night to help me sleep. No experience with anti-depressants...I refused them several years ago because of weight gain being a side effect for some.

    It's hazy here, too, from the smoke. There's an air advisory for those who have respiratory issues.
