    Hey y’all!!

    Well, the move took about 6 days with the help of people as they had availability. It was rainy and depressing, but it got done. I over did my knee, shoulder, wrist and still have bruises in places I can’t explain. Homeless until another apartment becomes available.

    I have not been exercising or eating right much at all. A whole lot of emotional eating and binging going on 😢

    I hope everyone is having better days and getting ready for the big food holidays coming up. Time to strategize!

    Good evening,

    Got 6k steps in today. Very glad tomorrow is Friday and I am considering wearing my "roll the b!tch away" aroma therapy at work again.

    Load of laundry as my jeans are just too tight for work (and breathing) so I wait for it finish to call it a night.

    Runa - hope you are in a safe place.

    Stay safe and sane out there.

    Good morning all~~

    Big hugs to you Runa--I don't even know what to say--did you move your things into storage? I so hope that something becomes available for you soon! Be careful of your knee--everything else depends on it.

    Sara - hugs to you too for having to go to work every day with the bad environment, to put it mildly.

    I am having some very strange vertigo. It began in the middle of the night. No other symptoms.

    Good morning
    Hugs go out to all three of you - Sara, Runa and Lana. I hope all of you have better days ahead!
    Sara - LOVE the name of the of the aroma therapy!
    Lana - HATE vertigo. Hopefully it goes away soon. Massage the areas from behind your ears to your throat. The drainage tubes from your ears are in there. Maybe they just need to drain a bit?
    Runa - I too hope you are safe.
    Friday and 71 here. Wow!
    Have the best day you are able!

    Happy Friday!
    I am taking the weekend off of MFP. It is my birthday tomorrow and I think that I would like to just be in a mindful place for the weekend. It’s my own New Year.
    What are my goals? How far have I come?
    Lots to think about.
    Wishing everyone a lovely weekend with purposeful good decisions.
    Positivity for you all.

    Good evening,

    I will hit 7k before bedtime which is nice. Counter balances some of the extra calories (cough,cough).

    Snowing and raining in the CA mountains brings me great joy. Relief for some of these fires.

    Lynn - Lana posted the aroma therapy it is from a company in SF and works very well. Keeps the urge to strangle someone verbally at a minimum.

    I work tomorrow and I may be able to work day after Thanksgiving (so less time off used and more $$ to throw at my credit card.

    Speaking of which - amazon shopping cart time.

    Wishing all a good night.

    Good morning everyone~~

    The vertigo is still here. Yesterday it improved as the day wore on. I do lay down in bed for many hours before I actually go to sleep, but it didn't come back until the middle of the night. How strange.
    The last time I had this, it did resolve on its own after a few days.....hope it does that again.

    I must try to get going walking again in spite of it. I'm getting no exercise, and I need to counteract the comfort-food consumption.

    Sara - have a good day at work!

    good afternoon,

    Lana I hope your vertigo goes away, I am hearing a lot of people are "coming down" with it. Must be because we can communicate faster by social media - not like its a virus etc.

    My shopping list is done for the weekend. I now can wear my wrist watch again, have chicken for salads and warm sweat pants - it had RAINED overnight and I went out to my car and was very pleasantly surprised - November usually is our last month for fire hazards so this is a great relief.

    Just got done working - hit my boss' production standard - that coughing sound is me gagging in sarcasm.

    Wishing all a good night.

    Happy Sunday everyone~~

    Hey Sara - How is your aunt doing? (you posted recently that she had covid, but they sent her home from the hospital so early)

    I think I might go on a diet this week! (OMG)

    Good morning,

    Slept in so it will be a shorter day.....

    Lana, as far as I know my Aunt is doing okay. I am in contact with her eldest son and will send cards.

    DIET is a four letter word. You know better. You might improve your health. Keep walking and that is a great start.

    Wave to all who follow. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Sara - I could use a shake-up. That's why I said "go on a diet".
    For many months now, I have not been following any eating plan. The only thing I've been doing is journalling my food, without counting calories or points or anything. It is time for me to get back into it.
    I did manage to cook two of my meals from scratch/fresh today - that helps to keep the sodium down.

    ....then I finished the ice cream.....

    Tomorrow is another day!

    Good morning.
    You are up bright and early Melichalupa!
    Today is a beautiful day!
    Last day of 70's in WI. Can almost guarantee that will be it until at least April. Great weekend - did lots of stuff outside - sprucing up yard a bit.
    Lana - I am with you on the diet thing. I know Sara - it is about health. Seems I must not care about my health much :neutral: I will try and talk myself into caring about my health a bit more.
    My DH was diagnosed with fatty liver. We go to GI Specialist Thursday. That WILL mean diet, major lifestyle changes. Reduction in carbs/sugar is what it sounds like. Maybe that will be better for me as well. It is interesting, like I said guy doesn't drink. He probably has an extra 30 lbs on him. Didn't expect his liver to be suffering....
    Hope all are well - Runa...hope you are doing ok. Marueen, Dawn? Tracey, Kathryn, Have a great day!

    Waving to Melichalupa - thanks for getting us started today 👍🏻

    Lynn - let us know how that doctor visit goes on Thursday. I am curious to know the answer to the mystery.

    I hope we hear from Dawn and Kathryn. I worry about Dawn, and Kathryn had that trans-echo procedure recently.

    Maybe today Tracy and Runa and Missy and Bordeaux Bee can check in 🤞🏻

    I can't believe I've been gone for more than one month. Time really flies these days. I did a lot of calling for the election, have been working hard, and have enjoyed our gorgeous fall weather lately. Stuck in a rut with eating habits and not losing. Not gaining either, so at least I have that.

    Please give me a little update on YOU when you log in. I probably won't get around to reading all that I've missed.

    My mom's dementia is getting worse and we are talking about having her move in with my older sister, a Family Practice Nurse Practitioner. It would be best. Hoping to get through Xmas first. My daughter may also live with my sister to help with Grandma and to do a nails specialty course at the tech college near by. Daughter really wants to skip winter in WI this year.

    I hope you and yours are all doing well.

    Hi all! Just stopping in briefly.

    Things continue to shift and change. I have been staying at a friend’s place while she was out of town. Heard today she is coming back a day early, at least.

    Might have a place through Craigslist to wait out another apartment. It’s not the best situation, but it’s not sleeping in my car and it doesn’t break the bank.

    Weight is coming back down a bit after all the emotional eating. If nothing else, my body itself is losing inches. My usual house clothes/pjs are falling off my hips and shoulders.

    Stay well and be kind to yourselves!

    Hi All! Happy Monday!!!! Well I received the results of the job I had applied and interviewed for and unfortunately I didn’t get the job. Kinda stinks because it was going to be the reset I needed. Just means i have to keep looking and try harder. I also need to get my butt in gear and get healthy again. I’m almost back to my highest weight again. Hope everyone is having a great Monday and it’s not too manic for everyone.

    Sorry to hear that Missy. I have also been looking for a job. And am definitely sending you well wishes on your search. It’s a cutthroat market out here.

    I worked out today for the first time in 2 months and was feeling great- but I slept wrong and I have a crink in my neck that stopped me from doing my full potential. Hopefully better tomorrow.

    Family life can be life-sucking sometimes. It’s so much easier to care for others and ignore ourselves. I am working on being more purposeful with my days-I want to give my best to my loved ones but would like to balance that with positive self care.

    Wishing everyone a good night,
    Melissa
