Thanks for all of the prayers. The MRI was normal which is a huge relief. Unfortunately, we still don't know what happened. God has this though, and I take strength from that.
No real goals for today, but to enjoy the day.3 -
No news is good news @pridesabtch - hope and pray for you that it was a one-off. Knee your faith and move forward.
I’m late jumping on here today as we had the hospital first thing this morning. Delighted to announce that the dreaded drains are out!! And the wires and the dressing and I now just have a minimal dressing as all is healing well. I’m so relieved. Next step will be to meet with my consultant next Thursday and then I can go home to my babies!! Halfway through the day and halfway through my goals but wanted to post while I remember x

@AJB1014 not sure if you've already had the 3hr fasting glucose test or not and what weather you in, access etc but... walk during the 3hours you're waiting, & continue to schedule time to walk, swim?, whatever gentle exercise you can. Exercise improves your cells ability to uptake the glucose in your system.
Didn't make it to the gym this am but have eaten well so far today. Need to stop cruising so much on the computer. Wish the holidays were over already, there's all this mental pressure/stress to shop, decorate, get together, et al and don't want to do any of it.4 -
Morning all, happy weekend. I am so bored and actually a little lonely (sis has gone to yoga) but I’m still flying high with the relief of being drain-free and feeling positive about recovery.
Not many plans for today, although I would love something to distract me! I’m going to see if I can cook something for my sister and hopefully make some plans to help the last few days up here pass quickly. X

Morning all. Yesterday didn’t go quite according to plan. I felt great so decided to go for a longer walk than planned. It was freezing and hunching against the cold wind left me in agony and totally wiped. Definitely overdid it and I’m gradually starting to get to grips with how to manage this recovery sensibly. I eased off on the post op exercises yesterday afternoon as I will sore and tired but will pick back up today. Also having a shopping delivery so my sister and I can do some lovely Christmas jobs like baking cookies (for gifts) and gift wrapping. I will do as much as I can and rest often.
Have a lovely day all xx

Good afternoon ladies!
My eating has been complete *kitten*! I made like 8 dozen cookies the other day and we've already eaten like 3 of them. This Tuesday is our annual Scout auction where we auction off homemade baked goods and have a basket raffle. D and I spent 3 days putting the baskets together and wrapping them up in saran/shrink wrap. We've spent at least 4 hours every time working on them. I am sore sore sore!
Christmas break starts a week from tomorrow and will last for 2 weeks. I'm excited but nervous because that's two weeks I won't get paid for since I'm per diem. I'm starting a side gig tomorrow where I get paid to shop and deliver groceries. So I'm going to pick up as many delivers as I can over those two weeks.
I'm back working with the student I had at the beginning of the year. The woman who was supposed to replace me had to have another surgery. So that's good for me. I'll be with him at least through February.
I've also got a plan for myself as well. I plan to lose 30lbs by July 1st. So I am going to put $20 a week into an envelope. If I reach my 30lb goal then I will use that money to buy new(er) clothes. If I don't I will donate it to my church. I figure this will give me an incentive and a level of accountability that I lack. So we'll see how this works!
So I only have a few goals for the rest of today. It's already 2:30.
1. Memorial at 4
2. Don't overindulge on the food after
3. Dust/bring in chairs from front room
4. Finish cleaning up cookie mess
5. Bed early

@HEGoddard0928 - hi! Nice to see you. Such a tough time of year to be disciplined with eating. Especially surrounded by Christmas cookies. I feel your pain! How is Matt now? Is he doing better?
@AJB1014 - are you fasting for the glucose tolerance test? Good luck. X
I had an ok weekend. As my recovery continues and I start to feel better, I’m finding myself getting a bit more frustrated about being far from home. It’s only a few more days so I’m going to try and stay patient and really enjoy not having to worry about anyone else. Today my friend is coming up to see me with her baby son and I can’t wait!!

@Faebert Matt's doing loads better. There's still certain things he can't eat though. The doctor thinks it could take another year before all the ulcers are healed. They are that bad. The doctor was really worried because Matt lost 25lbs in 4 months (damn him. Lol.) We had to explain to the doc that Matt walks about 8-10 miles a day at work and that when he isn't sick his metabolism is incredibly high so this is normal for him. The doctor wants to keep an eye on it. Lol. He only has 15 more pounds until he goes his goal weight of 160.HEGoddard0928 wrote: »
1. Memorial at 4 😍Cried, laughed, and had a great time.
2. Don't overindulge on the food after😂Yeeeeeah. That didn't happen
3. Dust/bring in chairs from front room😭
4. Finish cleaning up cookie mess😭
5. Bed early😊
So yesterday was a total bust. We ended up staying at the memorial for about 4 hours. It was good. Matt and I cried but we also laughed. There was one part in particular where one of the speakers compared men and women to their particular sensitive anatomy. It was hysterical! The man who passed was a good man and loved by so many. He will always be remembered fondly.
One day at church the man came up and asked me if I was pregnant and I laughed and said I wasn't. He was very close to my mom and asked her worriedly if I was offended, so she had to reassure him that I wasn't. I always told myself that when I finally got pregnant that I would walk up to him and tell him, "NOW I'm pregnant." I'll never get that chance now but every since that day I made sure to give him a hug every time I saw him. I will miss those hugs.
Today is going to be busy. School, then that side gig I mentioned yesterday, and then right after that time is over I have to go set up the baskets for the auction tomorrow.
My goals are going to be simple today.
1. Stick to my prelogged meals
2. Drink at least 64 oz of water
3. Be timely while shopping
4. Stay out of the cookies!!!!
5. Bed early2 -

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 194.6
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to PB for comments due Friday. PB usernames 6 digits, no 19 or 20s, no birthdates. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri.
5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. NOTE: ATTENDED PRE FLEX DAY.
6. Medical: Dentist Apr 30 8 AM but check on meetings and RS. Onco Apr ???. PCP Schedule for July. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots? Sleep UT Er Respiratory Dec 30 7:45 AM
7. Theater: Amen Corner Thu Dec 19 5:45. EGL Fri-Sat 3:30.
8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about what's next.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy new bikes and bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
WFTY: Climbing. Well, weight-wise, it looks like 2019 has at least involved less of a gain than 2018 did. I guess maybe that's a "knock wood" statement because 2019 isn't QUITE over yet and we still have a lot of family gatherings. Fingers crossed that I can maintain my runs during the break.3 -
Good morning! Thursday was our office Christmas party and one of the days I was allowing myself to go over calories. Im pretty mad that I let myself continue it through the whole weekend!! Oh well, just need to get back on the horse and stay under until my birthday on Sunday.

Very busy this weekend, including one dog walk on snowy/icy/slushy streets in neighborhood = happy dog & happy me. Multiple errands Saturday morning. and wonderful church service that afternoon with a variety of musicians & Sunday School. Real Christmas tree up & decorated, all other decorations out (and cleaning done first).
Not on MFP at all so didn't log food. For some reason, I think that whatever I put in my mouth when I don't log doesn't "count." The scale says different. *sigh* At least I am done taking prednisone starting today ~ yay! Each day I took it, I had more and more side effects. Nothing major, just headaches, nausea, gas & some dizziness. Happy to be done with that.

Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my MFP weigh-in logging day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
