thank you all for your kind words ❤️ I should hear this afternoon from the doctor. 2lbs down over the weekend so I'm happy about that!
I got this!1 -
@RetiredAndLovingIt Yeah I don't function well with them, either, but luckily I took some meds that took it away. I did have a good time with my visitor, thanks! I hope you have a nice visit with your bro & SIL. Good luck with the kids!
@theslightedgeforever My eating yesterday was okay. I made a Thai dish for dinner: Chicken Panang with brown rice. I had a nice salad for lunch from a takeout place. That's right, want different, gotta be different. Mexican Hash sounds delicious, can you post the recipe? That's a good idea to roast the sweet potatoes. Good luck planning your plan!
@cbabie Thanks, it does, I took migraine medication so I could help DH clean the condo. It worked but then I had to clean lol. I did enjoy my friend's visit!
@roz0810 Great job! I hope it went well with the doctor's contact.
Hi all. We cleaned from 8am-12 noon and I was exhausted by the time we were done. I mean, I even cleaned the baseboards in the kitchen, every nook and cranny got cleaned. It looked good though. Then we needed lunch. My husband suggested I go out to pick up some salads from a salad place for us. So I did. Those were good. My friend came but honestly, I was so tired, I was just thinking in my head, "Please leave so I can take a nap" lol. But I did enjoy talking with her, I hadn't seen her in person in several years. I still had to cook dinner and it was semi-complex: Thai Chicken Panang curry over brown rice. I hate the time change, I got up later than usual because of it and now I'm running late.
Water yesterday: 25 oz

Morning all, in spite of my eating yesterday and the day before, I lost .4 lbs..now time to buckle under and keep going that direction. One thing that I saw yesterday and i HOPE I always remember...if I take a bite of buttercream frosting...NOTHING will stop me from eating more sugary foods. LOL. I walked in the morning, got groceries..(stocked up) and rearranged my pantry.
@trooworld so glad you enjoyed the visit, but oh I do know that feeling...LOL My mom used to set a timer and tell people when the timer went off it was time to go home. smh.. I love that AZ doesn't change time zones.
@theslightedgeforever. wouldn't it be nice if we had a timer that said, you have eaten this much i.e carbs or whatever and then we stop? LOL
@TeresaW1020 So glad DH was resting, maybe you could do like when your kids are little, you nap when they nap...I wasn't and am not one of those..however. I used that time to get my stuff done. LOL

@cbabie Yaaay on your walk and bike. Now start working on the meals one at a time. Funny....I was going to tell @trooworld the mom/timer story. We do have an app that shows us we've eaten "this Much". Sometimes I don't stop. I was one of those napping mommies. We were all in the bed together. The rule was you don't have to sleep but you have to stay in the bed and read. We all slept. I still like my afternoon nap where I read and fall asleep.
@retiredandlovingit I'll have to watch that documentary. I don't follow any of those. I'll check them out. I want to find an inbetween person like me. Shades of gray.
@roz0810 Yaaay on your 2 lbs.
@trooworld I'm glad you enjoyed your friend's visit. Plus had salads. Here's the recipe:
https://forksoverknives.com/recipes/vegan-breakfast/mexican-breakfast-hash-with-lime-crema/
So yesterday I obviously ate too many calories. Some good choices and not so good choices. I ate a salad and broccoli soup for lunch and 1/4 of a quesadilla. Did not eat whopper balls 3 times I thought about it. Had one s'more instead of 2. Plus one roasted marshmallow. Bad choice was dessert with daughter.

Hi all. Got the ok for Orlistat but doctor didn't really want to give it and wanted me to continue WW but I explained my situation and she oked it. Should have them by tomorrow!0
-
Morning all. Will get my Orlistat in a few hours. They didn't have it in stock yesterday.
I've also got a two week trial with Noom, then it's £19 a month after so we'll see how it goes. On top of that I'm doing weight watchers too! I need to do this this time round. I'm not going to mess up like i normally do. Please feel free to add me. I'm also near the end of my 12 week challenge Jan-March and will be starting another 12 week challenge. How is it the middle of March already, what the hell! Looking forward to seeing my results. Still weighing in daily for now.

@cbabie Yay! That's great you lost. I'm the same way with buttercream frosting. I love your mom's idea lol. Yeah, I wish we didn't do the time change.
@theslightedgeforever Thanks for the recipe. You made some good choices yesterday. You weren't that much over but I know you will say that you were still over.
@roz0810 Great! I hope it helps you. I tried Noom, it was good but a lot of reading and I didn't have time for it. What's your username on WW? I'll add you. I just see a "roz0710".
Hi all. I had a semi-angry caller at work and lots of traffic on the way home yesterday, not fun. I came home and did a 16-minute meditation out on the walkway and that helped some. I also listened to sleep music with Headspace while sleeping because I knew that I would think about that call. I had a hard time falling asleep, I was thinking about work (but not the call) and other things. I did eventually fall asleep though and slept well but my Fitbit said I slept "Fair".
Water yesterday: 50 oz

@trooworld it says rozeena31. I think that's it. luckily I have a lot of time so the reading is fine for me. day 1 done 😊0
-
@roz0810 What kind of eating plan do they recommend to follow while taking Orlistat? oh never mind. I just read you are going to continue your WW.
@trooworld Did you look at my post yesterday for Sunday? I was almost 1000 calories over. That's not a little. That's great that you did some meditation to try and clear your head.
Monday's total were a bit better but still not where I want them. But no chocolate. Instead I had a peach and chia smoothie

Afternoon all, I am in crazy busy mode again. I made so not so good choices last night, today is much better. (But the night isn't over) LOL. Baby girl and I went for a walk, she had to take her babies for a walk in "their wagon" She had to go pick them flowers and was tired walking back until the end. She RAN down our street. I had to RUN to keep up with those fast little legs. She "won" and came in the garage and laid on the floor..as if she was so exhausted. She keeps me laughing...
@trooworld So sorry you had a bad call.. I hate them and try not to be one of those, but once in a while..LOL. I hear the song from Frozen in my head...Let it go, Let it go..(easier said than done). Glad you relaxed and did all those things to help you not take it to bed with you.
@theslightedgeforever I am working on my meals, it's really the snacks at night I have to work on. Install a zipper with a lock on it..LOL
@roz0810 So glad you got approved. You got this...yea on losing the 2 lbs..that is a huge loss in my world. I am happy with a .4 loss. LOL. Great job.. my 3 1/2 year old gives me the thumbs up and says you can do it!!

@roz0810 I didn't see that one either. Why don't you try adding me? My username is LibraryGoddess619 . I'm glad you have the time to read, it seems like a good program.
@theslightedgeforever Oh I must have missed that. No, that's not a little. A peach and chia smoothie sounds good.
@cbabie I'm glad yesterday was better. Baby Girl is so cute! Yeah that's the perfect song for getting a bad call.
Hi all. Yesterday was better but my anxiety was higher still. I came home and meditated again last night. It felt good. I will try to do it again tonight. Miracle of miracles, I lost 1.4 lbs this week. I'll take it. I've been drinking more water and I made a few good decisions. I did make a few bad decisions but I guess my better decisions overrode the bad.

@trooworld I'm not sure I know how to add people on WW. Would you mind telling me what I need to do? thanks0

Morning all, I just came back from running errands, baby girl is watching my TV. So I am taking a couple of min to check in. I went way over again yesterday. I am so stressed and trying not to eat it. I have so much I want to accomplish in my life before I die....and I just can't work fast or long enough. I want to learn all I can, teach all I can, live LIFE...Read all I can...I could go on...
@roz0810 I liked the community on WW, but I am not on there anymore...it's been a LONG time. That's why we started this board, people just need a community where they feel safe and they feel loved, encouraged and that they matter..
@trooworld Yea on your water...I am trying to start again. I have a bigger container to make me know that I haven't drank enough. LOL

When I come up, click on my name which will bring you to my profile. Click on FOLLOW and I'll get a notification that you did that and I can follow you back.

@cbabie Time slips away from us, I know. I have a lot I want to do, too. All we can do is do what's most important to us and not worry too much about the rest. That's good you got a bigger water container.
@roz0810 You are doing great.
Hi all. I had a lot of anxiety yesterday about something related to work. My stomach and head also hurt, probably partially from the anxiety, so I left 2 hours early. I feel better today. I still have anxiety about the work thing but hopefully working at home today will give me some distance and I can release the anxiety.

Morning, Went on a 30 min walk this morning and now trying to clean house. LOL. Decided to stop by and let you know I did horrible in eating last night...try try try again..
@trooworld I hope this thing with work gets resolved...I hate anxiety. I have seen first hand the effects of PTSD, etc...I love that you can work from home.. Thank you Covid.LOL
@roz0810 Great job, you are doing great.. I like small goals..they help us obtain the big ones without getting overwhelmed.

@trooworld ahh it doesn't come up with any members. not sure why. it just says couldn't find anything. it's ok no worries! thank you though.
@cbabie definitely. I have a long long journey ahead of me so I need to focus on the small things!

Small loss this morning. I'll take it. Today I'm off into town with a friend buying a phone for our 75 year old friend who's fed up of her flip up phone so we're going to get her an android smart phone. We did order one from amazon which said it was unlocked but it wouldn't recognise her sim card so had to send that one back. Pain in the *kitten* that was. I'll probably stop for a cup of tea with my friend too
happy Friday! 0 -
@cbabie Good job on the walk. Sorry about the eating. Yes, try try try again! Thank you, I appreciate it. I also have PTSD but luckily, its effects have mostly subsided. It's the anxiety that gets me. Yes, thank you COVID because I sure couldn't work from home before COVID!
@roz0810 Oh I know why: you live overseas and I live in the states! Different programs. Sorry about that! Congrats on the loss. That's nice of you guys to get your friend's phone sorted out. Good luck with that! Enjoy the tea and time with your friend.
Hi all. Yesterday was actually worse regarding work: our director totally disregarded my work and ownership of my work. It made me so mad and upset that I had a hard time working. I did stick up for myself in a professional way and that helped. It was a beautiful day yesterday, high of 82F and sunny. Since it was St Patty's Day, we got some beers and sat out on the walkway enjoying them. It was nice and I relaxed a bit.

@trooworld Sorry about the work drama but good for you for sticking up for yourself. I totally forgot it was St. Patrick's Day yesterday until I sat down at 9 pm and flipped on the news and saw everyone wearing green.
@cbabie You do have so much to live for and accomplish! Try to focus on that more than what isn't working. Give yourself credit for all the good you are doing. I think we tend to magnify our struggles and stumbles and downplay what we are doing right.
Good morning everyone! I'm just checking in before starting another busy day. This week has been tough. Joe has really struggled with his broken body and this second round of chemo. We have an oncology appointment for blood work and the rest of the day will be spent cleaning my house. My eating has been so so and needs to get better for sure. I'm working out when I can and just taking life day by day. 1 -
Afternoon all, Went on a bike ride this morning..stress ate lunch. PB sandwich...my fall back. The good news is that when I thought I was WAY over in fat grams, I wasn't.. I used whipping cream tracking vs whipped cream...way less fat calories. LOL.
@TeresaW1020 I am so sorry that your DH is struggling..no one likes to NOT feel good. I pray he does better after his appointment. yes it's okay to take life day by day,...if not then I am in BIG trouble. LOL
@trooworld So sorry to hear about the PTSD and yet I am so happy to hear it's not stopping your life and hope and dreams and that you handled your boss with professionalism. That shows your true character and hers. LOL. You have so much inner strength.
@roz0810 Congrats on the loss, you're doing great.

@TeresaW1020 Thanks! Well, with everything going on with you and Joe, I don't blame you for forgetting! I'm sorry it's been a tough week I hope this next week is better. Hugs.
@cbabie I wonder if "whipping cream" is actually "heavy whipping cream"? Just a thought. Yay for a bike ride! The PTSD used to stop my life. I struggled with it for years but thankfully it's better now. Thank you, I'm trying!
@roz0810 I hope you had fun with your friends and the hot chocolate. Congrats on another loss!
Hello all. Things were better yesterday. I got things sorted out at work at the end of the day but before that, it was okay. We had homemade pizza for dinner and I had 2 small pieces + a nice big salad. I've never made that choice before, it's always been 4 pieces of pizza no salad. I also did a walking video yesterday morning. I drank enough water. I'm not tracking right now, I will start soon. It was too depressing while I was eating so poorly. I think I will track today.

@trooworld Yaaay on your weight loss.
@cbabie Didn't they change the WW community to Connect. That's why we had to leave because they were doing away with our board? Maybe I'm getting confused with another site I'm on. lol I didn't like the Connect part. I agree with @trooworld Whipping cream is different than whipped cream. I use alot of whipping cream in my cooking. Did you eat it on a dessert? I think of whipped cream like Cool Whip, Dream Whip, Reddi-Whip in the can. I love that stuff. I can just squirt it in my mouth.
@roz0810 You're doing well. Keep it up
@teresaw1020 I forgot it was St Patty's day too. I saw an Instagram post of my son somewhere in Des Moines and everything was green. Then read the caption and I thought oh yeah. chicago is the best when they turn the river green. I wonder what people do in Ireland? Sorry about Joe. This part is the hardest I think. It's why my mom chose not to do it again when her cancer came back.
So I'm going to leave tomorrow with my daughter on a short trip to London. So I won't be checking in I don't think. I don't know the WiFi situation over there.
I've only been half tracking this week. My dd has been all topsy turvy. She will be returning home when we get back cause she has to go back to work. Then I'll get to work on my body and dive into transitioning to my new meal plan. My only plan while I'm gone is to eat scones. Lots of scones. Oh and fish and chips. Real fish and chips. I think that's all I want to try.

afternoon all, I took baby girl to the Children's museum here in town and now I am home with a headache...dehydrated...I am sure..But we are laying down watching the Bee movie..It leaves Netflix end of March...I may have to buy it..UGH..
@trooworld I am so glad you figured work out and yea on the change in pizza night. LOL. PSTD is the worst I think..well not sure, I had severe chronic non stop pain in my leg for months...I wanted to die. FINALLY found a Doctor who knew what to do and I think God knew I was on my last leg..LOL. Yes whipping cream I picked was the heavy whipping cream..
@theslightedgeforever Yes been eating cool whip (generic) with my ice cream...LOL

@theslightedgeforever PS I forgot to comment on the WW, yes that is why we started this board..didn't like the new connect..
Cbabie0 -
@theslightedgeforever Thank you! London...how exciting! I hope you have fun. Yes, scones and fish and chips are a must!
@cbabie I'm so sorry you have a headache, I hope you feel better by the time you read this. I bet baby girl loved the children's museum. They have a good one here, too. I went to a wedding at it once, that was the best wedding I have ever been to. Severe chronic pain in the leg sounds awful! Heavy whipping cream...that works, it's the same thing as whipped cream!
Hi all. I stayed up until 2am painting a painting last night. I then couldn't sleep in this morning and got up at 6am. I am drinking coffee now but am so tired lol. My husband and I are going for foot massages at 9:30am. They massage more than your feet: they really do almost all of your body for $30 plus a generous tip. I felt like I needed it after the week I had. And DH, he needs it just because he's been so stressed about family. I didn't track yesterday, I know I said I would but I got distracted. Maybe today I will.

Hello all. The massage yesterday was wonderful. I need to do more of that. I still didn't track yesterday. I'm hoping today will be drama-free at work.
