    Day 12/365
    How were the brownies????
    I had a terrible day... I think I have the flu. Worked until 5, and couldn't stand anymore. Came home had a bath and bed. It's now 1030 and I'm saying goodnight.... Again lol. I feel a bit better and my 530 alarm doesn't sound so depressing anymore

    The brownies were a little too good. Mom and I finished them tonight, which put me over a bit. Was under most of the week so I'm not super worried about it. Have a Dr apt tomorrow about the knee, fingers crossed. Will find out then what my weight is too.

    Good to see you posting back here again, Jess. I don't doubt you were posting somewhere...if you look on the main Communities Discussions page, above the Main Forums bar, you will see "My Discussions". These are threads that you have started. You can always go there to find your way back here. Great job to both you and Stacy...keep up the great work!

    Day 13/365- still feeling lousy, so I'm not doing much today! Hope all is well, and I will check back in tomorrow. Heading to bed shortly lol. I'm a wimp when I'm sick!

    Well done Stacey!!!! That is awesome!
    Day 14/365 - Still feeling lousy. Lethargic and achy. I just weighed in at Dr's and I'm down 1lb in two weeks. I'm actually good with that as the last two days I've been eating like crap because I'm too tired to prep healthy. At least I'm still down, so the scale is heading in the right direction, and as soon as I get a nap in today I will prep healthy. I'm off today, so I have NO EXCUSE!!!
    Skiing tonight, so that will be good and may perk me up a bit, plus the kids always cheer me up. I may be back.... But if not I will check in tomorrow! Have a great day and WE GOT THIS!!

    That's awesome! Glad you are feeling better. Wife called after lunch today and she wants to meet for Mexican tonight so wish me luck. That is my criptonite. I am still staying at mom's helping her so we haven't seen each other in a few days. But mom is doing well and I suspect that by Friday she won't need me out here 24/7 anymore.

    Day 16/365- I missed a day!!! Short and sweet tonight just like moi, lol!
    Had a bad eating day, but I'm well over 12,000 steps for today so I'm hoping (gulp) it will equal out! I loaded up on fruits and veg at home again, so tomorrow is a different story!
    How was the Mexican? Chinese is my kryptonite.... Avoiding it at all costs!!!
    I'll be back.... And yes, WE GOT THIS!!

    The Mexican was good. Ate way to much and then made pizza for dinner. Little bit of emotional eating going on here. Mom has to have surgery on her elbow and my knee is killing me. Sigh.
    Awesome job on the steps!!!

    Day 17/365
    An ok day today! My girl was home from school again, but she is feeling much better now that the weekend is here lol!!!
    This cold is a pain to kick!!!!
    I'm not sure what I was thinking but i somehow volunteered myself to make 75 elasticated arm bands for the ski club! It's so we can identify our students amongst the different schools! I don't sew...... So, now what! I'm going to attempt it but if I end up logging a lot of alcohol this weekend it's not my fault!!! Actually it's all my fault, especially since I'm working all weekend and we need these done for Tuesday hahahahahahaha ha! I'm an idiot!!
    Anyway, I really need to say we got this today..... WE GOT THIS!! Right?

    I am sure you will do fine. Today was good, was under on my calories. Still waiting for the insurance to authorize an ortho for my knee so I am spending far too much time sitting. But the toe is much better. Guess I will count it as headed in the right direction.

    Sigh another 10 days until I see the ortho for my knee. This sitting with my foot up is for the birds.

    Thank you bdgfn, not sure where Jess has been. Hoping everything is ok with her. I am way over calories today but sometimes you have to stress eat or explode. Lol. Sigh oh well tomorrow is a new day right?

    OMG! Day 24/365- is that correct??
    Stacey I am soooo sorry! I have a million excuses but none are valid... I'm still here I promise. I am logging my food everyday, and always in the back of my mind is the thought to come on here but I've been saying "I'll do it later. I don't have time right now!" I need to take the time, for me and for you!!!
    Eating wise I am good, even though my stress is through the roof!!! Work has been a nightmare, but I see a light at the end of this scary, dark tunnel!

    I'm going to post every couple of paragraphs so I don't lose all my hard work here lol....
    I weighed myself yesterday and am down 2 more lbs, but my official weigh in isn't until next Tuesday so it doesn't count YET!
    How was your mom's surgery?? How is the knee?? How are you????

    @jess_donoghue when you log your food, make it a point to come here and check in. Maybe in conjunction with finishing up your daily log? Like stacy said, even if it's just a smiley face, at least we'll know you've been here. And if you can smiley face, say hi! ;)
