@richmondwriter I don't imagine where you count dessert as long as it's counted somewhere. 😊1 -

Happy Friday everyone!!!
Great job @cmhubbard92 ! Is your power still out? What's the ETA? We got several more inches of rain yesterday but thankful that we have AC. The mosquitos are going to be out in full force next week. 😳🦟
@DaffyGirl88 it is now almost 8pm, and we still have no ETA. Eversource has done a very half-assed job at giving any time estimates, as my moms area said still assessing, but her power was back on around 10am. This is our third day.
They finally removed this limb down the road from us, which I believe was the cause of our power outage. Unfortunately, no linemen are expected in the area tonight, but the crew said we're expected to be back on tomorrow.
In any case, the transfer station will finally be open for garbage disposal tomorrow, and we will be doing a complete dump of everything in the fridge (finally, we've kept it shut this whole time, except when there was still usable food in the freezer), and I will get to clean out the whole thing.
In other news, my boyfriend is a supervisor at a company that delivers linen to hospitals. One of the supervisors of another district had to cover a route in my boyfriends district because my boyfriend was training a new driver. Unfortunately, something happened on the supervisors return, as he veered off the highway and crashed in an embankment-the cause is unknown at the moment. The truck was completely flattened and the supervisor was DOA. I am so nervous about the amount of driving my boyfriend does on a daily basis with these box trucks, and it has severely increased my fear. If he was not training the new driver, he would have been driving this truck today... I am at a loss of words right now, my boyfriend seems OK. But I'm so, so worried about this. This could have been him, and I feel so terrible for this guy's family. He was 27, and just had a baby a month or so ago. Just so tragic. I just thought I would share...

OUR POWER IS BACK ON!
I just emptied the fridge, started a deep clean of the whole thing, and am making our shopping list. The only things we were able to keep was butter, beer, and Gatorade.
I'm disappointed with what we lost, but we are going to try sending a few receipts to the power company for lost food, a few people have had success with that. Fortunately, we can afford to replace it, but it's an unnecessary expense... So many just purchased food with their monthly benefits, so I have no idea what they will do! Counting our blessings this morning.2 -
Hi Christine, I am so sorry to learn about the death of your boyfriend's supervisor. That is heartbreaking, especially with him being so young and with a new baby. I am sure it is a frightening time. Thinking of you all & take care!2

Weigh In Week: Aug- week 1
Weigh In Day: Saturday
Previous Week's Weight: 288.4
Current Week's Weight: 287
Loss To Date: TBBT (-1.4 lbs)
Not much for first week's weigh-in. Overall weight-loss (113 lbs)
This past week has not been a very good one I lack energy and motivation. Dealing with a lot of health issues.
My Diabetes is out of control, even though my eating habits have changed for the better and I'm eating healthier, exercising more.
The time before last my A1C was 8.5%, which is high. But when the last blood work came back (taken on July 16th) it was 10.9 % which is really out of control. Usually my blood is checked once every 3 months, but because it's so high they had me do blood work again on Thursday August 6th. The doctor also increased one of my Diabetes meds (on 3 kind) to the full amount that can be taken for that particular medication.
I really don't know what else to do. Seems like I'm the reverse of what normally happens to people who lose a lot of weight and change their lifestyle for the better.
For years I've heard that if I lost 100, even 50 lbs my Diabetes would improve greatly or go away altogether. Once again, I've (my body) has proven them wrong, honestly I wish they had been right.
I'm a little stressed with what is happening to me (my body), and how it is making me feel sluggish, and having little to no energy most of the time. I still force my self to get up and clean my apartment, and take care the cats, as will as exercise including some walking. I refuse to give up, and will keep going in the hope that all the good that I'm doing now, will kick in and things will change for the better in regards to my health.3 -

Wow this keto stuff is really working for this menopausal mama. Hot flashes and night sweats only 2 in the last 2 weeks, I had a chia chip list night and could immediately taste the organic cane sugar (hehe how that’s different than sugar ) that was in them 🤮. Had to put them back . Have been getting my crunch fix with whisps so much better for me. I am on a roll pray it stays that way ....by the grace of the Lord
@cmhubbard92
i need to reduce my step goal to 65000 (70000) is out of reach when I work from home 2 days a week now
Thanks have a wonderfully blessed weekend1 -
I am passing on my weigh-in this week. If I can't get it together by next Saturday, then cut me loose....I am not helping anyone! My husband is home now for the next two weeks (at least) so I should be able to stay focused and hopefully right the ship before he does eventually go back to work.5

Can you please tell me what you have as my start weight. It's either 290 or 288.4 lbs.
Trying to figure out exactly how much weight I lost this week. I posted today start weight as 288.4 lbs , not sure. Thanks

@pandygirl1 - I am so sorry to hear about your diabetes challenges. I agree that it doesn't make sense, and is certainly not fair, that your A1C numbers would worsen, after losing so much weight. Can your doctor do other testing or maybe refer you to a nutritionist, who can help you figure out what's going on? Hope things get better for you soon!2

I want to thank you all for your kind words and thoughts. We are doing alright. He has been dealing with a lot of work calls since yesterday, but we were able to relax and enjoy some time with each other today.
Tomorrow I am going kayaking with my boyfriends mom and aunts, and am a little nervous but excited. I have never kayaked but have gone canoeing, and will learn as I go. I have made a few snacks in advance and have luckily found a waterproof pouch for my phone. I want to make sure I'm prepared, but don't want to bring too much. We'll see how it goes!

@richmondwriter thank you Sandra 💜 You had a fabulous weigh in this week!2 -
@richmondwriter,
I think my meds may play a part in me having trouble with losing weight.
Just have to keep working on my weight-loss and exercise as best I can and hopefully it will all work out.
I spend time in prayer, and meditate, and try to stay positive, but on bad days it's hard. I try to remember that there are people going through far worse than me, so I can be grateful for what I'm still able to do, at least I try to some days I fall short.
