Hi All~~
A quick check in.....
Runa- don't know what to say except just keep a record of everything that you are doing, and you can make a customized week that works for you. I hope!
Sara - Just think.....a new toilet!!! It's the small things that make me happy!
The snow came; then the rain came. Power is still on. Fingers crossed for tomorrow that the power stays on.

Hello all!
Rainy, rainy, busy weekend. Made better choices for a friends bday dinner out last night (ahi tuna and a side salad). Doing pretty well, overall.
Going to try my best to get some exercise in this week. I really do feel better when I do it.
Birthday is Tuesday... celebrating next weekend. Going to enjoy but not go overboard!
Watching the Grinch here. Check in tomorrow. Night all!3 -
MONDAY
Good morning,
Scale up again and almost at weight I started WW - Sugar and quantity of food.
Boiled eggs for snacks this week. Will work on my walking. Salads back on the menu.
Wave to all who follow.

Interesting that at this weight I can wear (barely) pants that when I was at this weight before WW I could not get on past my knees - so I keep going.2

Sara - this is a good thing. You must be toned-up! Keep at it my dear friend, and you will get to where you want to be. This is not easy. Hugs~~

I journaled my whole day yesterday. Yes!
The snow is coming down again this morning - "this is like deja vu all over again", as Yogi Berra would say.

Wowza, three new pages on here since I last dropped in! I ruined my streak by not logging in yesterday
It was a long weekend, and not in the good way. Biggest adventure of the weekend: falling 15-18 feet from a bouldering wall. Don't worry, I wasn't injured, but my neck is super stiff and I've had a bit of a headache. Falling is a part of bouldering (which is the kind of climbing without ropes, but much lower heights), but I had never taken a fall before! Luckily I did it correctly and saved myself from injury.
ErynVee - Happy early birthday! Woohooooo!
Lana - I want snow, send it to Baltimore!
Tilliesmommy1 - That's definitely a good sign! It means more of your weight is from muscle than it was the last time! Keep it up!
Does anyone else feel like they're starting over again today? My mental state has been crap so I definitely ate my feelings for a while there. I might pop back in later. Happy Monday?3 -
Happy Monday!
Watching news today and all the snow around the country. Wow! Some people really got alot! We have hardly a dusting here in WI.
Lana - I am sold school(truly as I am 50) and I find that writing in a notebook makes me much more accountable and happy. I find colored ink and write my moods, my thoughts, my feelings about life and my food. Someday maybe someone will read them and say - wow! she had it all together. Bahahaha! NOT.
Went to huge craft sale this weekend. Inspired me to holiday up my house a bit.
Lurking from work. Waves to all!

Looks like the question of the day is - how to start over??
Pick an easy habit - if not your easiest habit to start with - extra piece of fruit/glass of water/ go to be on time. Mine was hard boiling eggs for snacks for week.
Would it be to set a new goal?1 -
Just checking in again.....
Waves to all~~
Meg in Baltimore - thank goodness you are OK. Bouldering, eh? *shudder*

TUESDAY
Good morning.
Yesterday was so long I thought it was Tuesday - reason why I post what day it is here it helps keep me centered.
Dog up early so here we are. It will feel good to get back under the covers.
Found out at work those of us with old hard drives (mine is one) may get new ones soon and we are moving before Christmas - at least I know I am - so luckily my Christmas decorations are not hard to move. We were told we could decorate as we were not moving. When do you listen to what the company tells you??? Hmm.
Wave to all who follow. Lurking at work.1 -
I had a nightmare last night I gained so much weight I got stuck in a pool slide and almost drown. Terrifying!!! But at least it kicked my butt back here after a rough week 😰 clearly my subconscious isn’t about to give up!!3
-
Good morning all~~
H4H - What a terrible dream!! Glad you are back.
Sara - It is never a dull moment at your workplace. Just go with the flow, as you always do. Are you moving within the same building, or is your company up and moving to another building/address/location? I hope it is in the same building and easy on you.

FLOOR INSTALL TODAY!!! Finally an end to all these weeks of living out of suitcases and eating out all the time!! When eating out, I did start requesting a box and boxing up half of my food right at the start of my meal so I could keep myself from overeating plus I had a meal to warm up for lunch at work. Still, all the eating out has bumped my weight back up and got me bloated & miserable. Am so not used to all the extra salt, oil, etc. I have not been recording my food intake as consistently as in the past. Hoping once the house is back in some reasonable facsimile of order that I can get back into the habit.
Saw specialist yesterday. The follicular lesion (nodule) on thyroid has 50-60% chance of being malignant. I told the doctor that was not great enough odds to make me agree to thyroid removal surgery. We will check it again in 6 months and, if there is any change, decide from there how to proceed.
DH is doing better. Not as deep into his funk as before. I believe part of it was my health issues (stroke this summer, now thyroid nodules) that had him worried if something happened to me. He seemed much better after talking to my doctor regarding surgery. When he was at his worst, he steadfastly refused to call his doctor and since he has recently changed doctors, I wasn't even sure who to call for him. We have talked quite a bit about better communication and spending more time together. Just hope we can make that happen.4 -
Hickchick - yahoo! so glad for your floor and your hubby doing better! Great news. I will send you good health wishes for your thyroid!
Lana - congrats on journaling!
Sara - I enjoy your work stories. Makes my work feel normal - even though it too is insane (:
H4H - that is a terrible dream!
Lurking from work! Happy Tuesday.1 -
Lana - move within same floor /area so they say- same commute to work. Good job journaling food even if the list gets a little long.
Miss T got to fly on her leash this morning Weee!!. She went barking at a new large dog and I pick her up and move her in mid air. It does get her attention and usually stops her barking. She has a harness and a short leash - no Miss T abuse.
H4H - glad there is a good message in that dream. What can we do to keep you on the best road?
Kathryn - love the good news! Plan a wonderful first meal when you can cook again. Glad DH is doing better. Can you get a second opinion on the thyroid or more tests done?
Just saw clock need to scoot, will be lurking with Lynn!

Kathryn,
I'm glad that your floor is done - you will get back into the healthier eating. Also good to hear about DH doing better. As for your thyroid thing, did the doctor discuss doing a fine needle biopsy? Just curious.
Big hugs~~

WEDNESDAY
Good morning,
Third day in a row I have a meeting to go to. Such a blur and eats up my time. Not necessarily a bad thing......
How is everyone's week going? Weather here is holding up for walking.
Lady who is getting my bed got a place to live so when she will come by depends on when she can get a pickup truck. I also bought her a Queen size blanket for Christmas.
Had a dream yesterday and I had made up a song - alarm woke me up - that could have been my golden ticket to retirement...... hmmm.
Too much chocolate yesterday - but I passed up the doughnuts, so not too saintly.

Good morning Sara -
The HVAC guys are coming today. They are really nice people, but I am just not in the mood to have people in and out of my house for the first half of the day.
By the time they finish, I won't have the energy to go for a walk.
Also, the streets here are still covered in snow and ice.
I don't want to get my new, stupid-expensive walking shoes wet.
There.
That's a hefty pile of excuses, right? LOL

Lana - It was the fine needle biopsy which got me to this point. The results were that it was a follicular lesion with calcification which I was told is only a 50-60% chance of malignancy.
Sara - I had 2 doctors review the results. I already have appointments for followup tests in 6 months.
This has been the domino effect home improvement for sure! Everything was started with DS kicking a soccerball through the living room wall while he was "playing soccer with the cat." Patched the wall but paint didnt quite match so we painted room another color, which led to the hallway painted another color, which pushed up our plan for new flooring since all the woodwork was already removed for painting. Now that floor is done, we had to get new baseboards, which meant new casings for the doors & windows, which means we will eventually have to sand and stain the doors/jambs/sills to match. Its never ending!
Its my hope that with new floor in, that soon I will get back into the routine making own meals and walking after work. I am so tired of eating out all the time and I am not happy with results of eating out either.
An am happy to report, DH is just about back to his normal ADHD self.2 -

Have I told you lately that I love you? (we all hum the song.....)
Well to others on this Beach, that is what we do here.
Kathryn - I know cancer is a whole nuther PITA.

Kathryn, glad for the floor sorry to pester about the testing some people dont ask for more tests, just making sure.
This weeks weigh in "slammed" by things women get once a month (was TMI for someone one so this is as vague as I can get) and men dont. Lovely.
Doing a happy dance. Need to burn some calories.1 -
Hello all!!
Checking in again. I feel like everything is so crazy lately. Some family drama here and yesterday was my birthday. Just trying to keep things together and not eat too poorly! All things considered, I think I am doing pretty well (except for the occasional birthday treat or two!)
Hope all are having an OK week. *Waves*2 -
9108 total steps.
Bought some nice new pendants in stones I have never seen. They gave me one in a stone I have purchased before as a gift - seems I am one of their best customers.
Needed all the steps today ate a lot of sugar.

THURSDAY
Good morning,
Dog kept getting me up. Finally figured out she was hungry. So she is now happy.
Being mentally flexible at work is key right now. People are moving desks starting tomorrow and things will be quieter for me as the "pink bunny chatterbox" will be at a new desk on Monday. All week long hearing about how she hates it.
Sadly sweets have been my comfort this week. Just is. Making sure I get my walking in.
How is everyone else's week going?
Wave to all who follow. Lurking....1 -
Aye sorry I've been awol for a while guys. It's been a rough few days. I'm pretty much sustained by rice and beans and Buffy the Vampire slayer. I'm not really looking forward to the event this weekend, just lacking self confidence and hours in a day I guess. AND THERE ARE LIKE 10 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS?!?! time is going at super sonic speed aaaaaah.
H4H- holy kitten that is an awful dream.
Brennerjb- do you do bullet journaling?0 -
only 5441 steps yesterday. feeling totally worn out the past few days.
Sara - you got me giggling with the "pink bunny chatterbox" description. we have someone here we refer to as "little bunny fufu"
Didnt take it as pestering! It means you care! 
Lana - thanks for the love.....but now I have that song stuck in my head! LOL
did the HVAC people get everything taken care of for you?
marsellilove - i agree! time is moving at warp speed for me as well!! we dont even have a stitch of Christmas decor up yet either!
H4H - i think i am having nightmares about your nightmare! yikes!
erynvee - HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!0
