Round 132 (7): 139.6 to 138.8 (-0.8 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Maintain weight at 138-139.
- Run/walk my evening walk with the dog to work up to a 5K by Thanksgiving
11/23 - 139.4 - Not the start I wanted, but I’m feeling really bloated today so that might be part of it. I’m also really annoyed that after updating my phone last night, it appears to no longer be receiving workout and step information from my Apple Watch. I hope I can figure it out soon - in the meantime I can enter the workouts manually and change MyFitnessPal to get my steps from Pacer rather than Apple Fitness. Still frustrating though!
11/24 - 138.8 - I switched HappyScale to maintenance mode this morning. It was really bothering me to see the trend line numbers getting smaller and the next goal weight staring at me every time I opened it. Focusing on maintenance for awhile is going to involve a mental shift - but since I haven’t changed my calories or exercise habits, having the scale stall is... frustrating.
11/25 - 138.6 - The Thanksgiving cooking has officially started! I made the gravy and the cranberry cheesecake last night and will do the apple pie and the sweet potatoes today. I hope I haven’t been getting too many extra calories from the tasting and checking as I cook. 😂. I had two fun NSVs yesterday - first, I beat the final boss on my Ring Fit Adventure game! It’s pretty cool to see how many hundreds of squats and arm presses and other exercises I’ve done over the past 2.5 months I played. It’s got a new game plus that I will check out starting tomorrow. The second - my wedding/engagement ring fit again! I had to take it off during my pregnancy and never could get it on again. I kept meaning to get it resized, but.... pandemic. I decided to try it again yesterday, and it fits comfortably! So happy!
11/26 - 138.0 - Well, that’s a nice drop - but it’s not likely to stick given today’s menu. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans in the group - I hope you have a wonderful day remembering all you have to be thankful for. I’m certainly thankful for this group and the amazing support it’s given over the past few months!
11/27 - 138.2 - I would have been happy with anything under 140, so this is great. I was good about having reasonable portions yesterday, but really only estimated putting things into MyFitnessPal - I wasn’t about to worry about weighing everything this time. And I only had half a slice of cranberry cheesecake (which was still SO DELICIOUS). We did a Zoom get-together with my husband’s family yesterday and will be doing another with my side of the family this morning. We would have loved to have seen family in person, but it was still a lovely Thanksgiving. Now back on the weight-loss track!

11/23 - Walked 2 miles yesterday, but at a slow pace (dog wanted to sniff everything. Going to run/walk the full 5K again tonight.
11/24 - Ran 2.6 miles last night at 12:00 min/mile pace. Slow, but that did include stops to let the doggie sniff and poop. 😂
11/25 - Walked 1.57 miles last night
11/26 - Walked/jogged 2 miles with a very reluctant doggie. Going to walk a full 5K tonight to hit my Apple Watch Thanksgiving challenge.
11/27 - Ran/walked 3.25 miles last night - total time of 42 minutes. Would love to do it in under 40 on Sunday (when I won’t have the dog to slow me down and force stops.)

@SModa61
I use MapMyRun by Under Armour. I WISH it tracked my 5K for me. I have to watch my watch or phone closely at the end or it just lets me keep going. If it does what you're talking about, I don't know how to set it up that way yet. I was using the app Endomondo, have for probably 10 years, but they got bought out by Under Armour, and it is being discontinued so I had to switch. I'm open to suggestions if anyone knows of free apps where you can set an end distance and it will alert you. Anyone know of anything like that?

List owners/leaders, is it ok if we do this here again, or would you prefer me to take it off list? It's been fun to do the Turkey Trot here in a familiar place with folks we "know," but I would understand if you think it's a distraction. I'll size down the icon like before to about an inch if it's ok to keep it here.
I’m absolutely down for this too, I LOVE this idea, thank you for stepping up, doing this!!!
“ We can "train" together by simply tracking our progress toward goal in our posts here and welcome 2021 by being more healthy than we are right now.”
I haven’t completed my turkey trot yet since my daughter and my grandkids enjoyed Thanksgiving with us. I’m planning on doing this morning!
Thank you, @GrandmaJackie! I appreciate you making this group and keeping it going for so long. It is such a wonderful place to hang out and create healthier versions of ourselves. The folks here are the very best, and I'm so glad I found this group.5 -

@UTMom81 Your screen shot looked so much like the image on my phone, I thought they acted the same. The ap for the feaster 5, updated me at each mile telling me that I had reached it, the pace for that previous mile and distance remaining. Then when I reached the 5K it automatically determined I had finished and notified me and, more importantly, stopped the timer. When I get a chance, I'll see if I can find any other ap options.3 -
I'm in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!
70 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
We used to walk 5 miles a day. Recovered from back surgery then hip surgery!! Got back to walking then I sprained my ankle. UGH! I was down for 6 weeks with the ankle. Getting back to it slowly.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

Mine will update me each mile telling me the pace and, if not on the first mile, the split time, but it does not tell me when I'm done with the 5K.0 -
Round 133
Please join us! Starting on 11/03 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 133
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

11/23 168.6 ~ {Steps 4,306} ~ Late night snack attacked me again, unfortunately, 😈😈
11/24 168.1 ~ {Steps 9,485} ~ Today even with all this craziness, the kitchen closed after dinner!
11/25 167.6 ~ {Steps 17,021} ~ Today was successful with diet and fitness!
11/26 166.8 ~ {Steps 11,237} ~ My SIL was supposed to join us for Thanksgiving dinner but at the last minute blackout. My granddaughter was crushed, 😭😭, it just broke my heart. Actually him not joining us made the day even better, my daughter and grandkids were able to have a fabulous day without him. After dinner we sent some time at our favorite park so that was a bonus too! Even though I had a gain, the food and company was WORTH IT. No worries the slight shift in weight will be gone in a day or too.
11/27 167.1 ~ {Steps 15,625} ~ I’m such a dork, lol. I thought I signed up for a 5k but I signed up for a 10k lmao. So I did 3.2 miles today and tomorrow I’ll do the rest and try to beat my today’s time. Today, my husband and I did some Christmas shopping plus I ended up buying a new pair of running shoes! I’ll post my race time tomorrow!

Challenge for this round (again) will be to get back into 132s. Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!End of round 69 134.2 lbs

11/23 DNW – spent last night at MIL's caring for her
11/24 134 – no exercise yesterday, MIL successfully transferred to a nearby care home, sadly due to Covid no-one can visit for 14 days – she's in isolation and as she is practically stone deaf phone calls are "challenging" - she refuses to wear hearing aids! Now the process of clearing her bungalow starts. 114 calories in credit.
11/25 134 – 11.31 miles walked yesterday, incorporated a walk/jog from week 2 of C 2 5K, took me 49.09 minutes, I'll do the same today. 700 calories in credit. And the drama continues !! MIL taken to A&E last night with suspected sepsis, they have admitted her, waiting to find out how she is & whether as she's non covid we can visit, I doubt it, but we need to ask.
11/26 133.4 – was hoping the gain from a week without exercise and eating of plan would drop quickly! 10.92 miles walked yesterday including walking and jogging 5K in 48.02 mins (and in the rain too!), today I plan on doing day 1 of week 3 of C25K. 909 calories in credit.
11/27 133.4 – 10.05 miles walked yesterday including completing my 5K yesterday morning in 48.58. When does it become enjoyable to run? I find it such a chore!!! 710 calories in credit. MIL not got sepsis, but a particularly nasty and severe UTI, hopefully only in hospital for a few days, we can't visit due to covid restrictions!!
11/28 134 – 10.64 miles walked yesterday including day 3 of week3 C25K in 49.38 mins, I know I did my Turkey Trot yesterday, but if we're doing a kick 2020 to the curb then I need to keep jogging/walking! 259 calories in credit, gammon yesterday – high sodium?

I use MapMyRun by Under Armour. I WISH it tracked my 5K for me. I have to watch my watch or phone closely at the end or it just lets me keep going. If it does what you're talking about, I don't know how to set it up that way yet. I was using the app Endomondo, have for probably 10 years, but they got bought out by Under Armour, and it is being discontinued so I had to switch. I'm open to suggestions if anyone knows of free apps where you can set an end distance and it will alert you. Anyone know of anything like that?
I use the Nike running app. It's free and you can track by time or distance. It also has training runs which are voice guided. I thought I'd hate them but I totally love them. I'm up for the kicking 2020 thing but can't do the pic on my phone. My goal is to increase my cardio. I'll be away from home all Dec where its eay too hot to run so I'll be swimming daily.7 -
have just not been focused enough over the last month. Weight up and down and no net loss. I'm now going to focus on the average weight for the round as that was very telling at the end of last round.
OSW 88KG
RSW 62.45 kg
Average last round 62.62 kg
Target this round is to lower the average weight.
11/23 62.9kg although a gain is the lowest Monday for a while. Sunday is no track salty food day so I'm happy with this today. Gym done. I'm increasing the cardio over the week to shift some kgs.
11/24 62.9kg time to get that average down. No aerobics tonight so I'm going to swim instead... It's 35C here {95F} so I'm looking forward to it.
11/25 62.7kg excited to be going down again. Gym done and planning to swim again later
11/26 62.2kg. Still crazy hot but gym done and core fitness planned for later.
11/27 62 2kg gym done and in so ready for the weekend! Pretty much maintaining on average after 5 days
11/28 62.45kg. Not ideal but have today to be on it.

11/23179.8Thanks@GrandmaJackie! I need this to not go crazy during the holiday season, so we appreciate you for keeping this going! My goal for this round is to maintain control and not gain overall. I’m sure there’ll be some ups this week, but I MUST remember that it takes a lot longer to get them off than it does to put them on!
11/24 179.6 Good food day, but I've been locked out of the Community now for two days. My home laptop where I keep all my records for MFP was messing up and wouldn't let me in. Now, I restarted the computer and I'm locked out of it all together. (I'm typing all this on Wednesday since I can't get in that computer). I had a different entry written for 11/24 but don't remember what it said and I wasn't able to post it. Oh well. I do remember the weight!
11/25 179.8 The holiday baking has begun in earnest this morning. My 87-year old Mom was admitted to the hospital in NC yesterday. Covid test isn't back yet, but she's in the respiratory wing and my Dad cannot visit her there. He won't let me come home, so I'm baking things she always does and will put together a care package for them when I get it all done (the things that will travel at least.) The good thing is I'll be sending most of it away, so I won't be able to eat as much of it. Gotta get out for a good, long walk today. It will do me good in more ways than one.
11/26 180.2 Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends on here! Really, I think yesterday was the worst of the holiday nibbles day for me--the day I make all the goodies. Heading out here soon to do my 5K, so hopefully that will offset some of the Thanksgiving dinner. Today is about being thankful, and even in a year like this one, I have so much to be thankful for!
11/27 181.4 It was such a beautiful day, we ate outside on the screened porch and enjoyed our special time with our little nuclear family. Now it's time to chip away at the Thanksgiving gain. it's fine. This is a marathon this time. Not sure I'll ever trust myself to go on maintenance again, so gotta treat this like it's a forever thing.
11/28 181.6 Well, didn't do a very good job with mouth management yesterday! Lol. Need to meal plan today and allow myself only small indulgences.

11/23 Rest day. Only did a one-mile walk with the baby to loosen up. Other than that lots of steps while shopping.
11/24 1-mile walk. Meant to do another later, but it just never happened.
11/25 1.77 mile walk
11/26 1.18 because I'm doing my 5K today and had a knee that was tweaking a little bit. Decided not to push it so I'd be ok to do longer and faster today. I've got to start getting in more miles on a regular basis though or I'm never going to make my end of the year goal. Actually, it may already be too late for that. If so, I'll just see how close I can get.
11/27 Did my 5K yesterday as already noted. Then did another .9 as a cool down and, later, a walk around the block after dinner with hubby for a total of 4.7 walked.
11/28 Walked 3.06 pushing a stroller yesterday and then another .9 last night after dinner.
Total toward 100 mile goal walked by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 33.18
Kick 2020 to the Curb Goal: 3-30 min exercise bike workouts per week= 105 miles by Jan. 19 -

Day/Weight/Comment
11/23 = 93
11/24 = 92.9
I've been reorganizing the hallway storage today and had to pull out bags of my old clothes that gradually multiplied over the years as the weight crept up on me. It's a bit shocking to think of how long I've been repeating the pattern of just buying bigger clothes rather than changing my eating habits.
11/25 = 92.6
The kitchen is my favourite room in the house, I love steaming mugs of coffee on frosty mornings and mixing bowls full of birthday cake batter, I adore catching up with old friends around the kitchen table as we lose track of time. I worked hard to create that bright, cosy, atmosphere in a dark old house and now I think it's time I took my own image on as a project.
11/26 = 92.1
I tried to stay out of the kitchen today, when I'm in there I'm compelled to either cook or eat, so today, unsettled, I drifted around the house searching for a place I could grow my next obsession: getting fit and healthy, and on a different level explore expressing myself through how I dress (an entirely new undertaking for me!)
It's a small house but I think I can free up some space in the hallway -a spot from which I can see my beloved kitchen
11/27 = 91.7
Found it hard to think about anything personal at all today, I spent all my free time worrying about the pets and the garden.
It was hot.
A voice from the wings: How how was it?
It was so hot.
11/28 = 92.1
Today was almost too hot to care about weight loss but with the cool change in the evening I was watering the garden, in that slightly meditative state which watering brings me and my thoughts drifted to the year ahead: 2021 (still sounds like sci-fi!)
I realised I'm confident that next year I can keep going, keep counting kj, and day-by-day keep getting closer to the healthy lifestyle I want (though to be honest I don't know what that looks like yet)
Maybe it should have been obvious that all I needed was a realistic plan and to put in effort every day towards it but for the longest time this strategy simply escaped me.

@SModa61
I use MapMyRun by Under Armour. I WISH it tracked my 5K for me. I have to watch my watch or phone closely at the end or it just lets me keep going. If it does what you're talking about, I don't know how to set it up that way yet. I was using the app Endomondo, have for probably 10 years, but they got bought out by Under Armour, and it is being discontinued so I had to switch. I'm open to suggestions if anyone knows of free apps where you can set an end distance and it will alert you. Anyone know of anything like that?
@UTMom81 Your screen shot looked so much like the image on my phone, I thought they acted the same. The ap for the feaster 5, updated me at each mile telling me that I had reached it, the pace for that previous mile and distance remaining. Then when I reached the 5K it automatically determined I had finished and notified me and, more importantly, stopped the timer. When I get a chance, I'll see if I can find any other ap options.
Mine will update me each mile telling me the pace and, if not on the first mile, the split time, but it does not tell me when I'm done with the 5K.
That is better than my just using my apple watch. Will need to check it out.1 -

I use the Nike running app. It's free and you can track by time or distance. It also has training runs which are voice guided. I thought I'd hate them but I totally love them. I'm up for the kicking 2020 thing but can't do the pic on my phone. My goal is to increase my cardio. I'll be away from home all Dec where its eay too hot to run so I'll be swimming daily.
I'll look into that one. I would love some better guidance!2 -

11/23 - Forgot
11/24 - 158 - I'm sad I've gained 5 since last month, but this is around the weight I've been for most of this year, give or take, so I'm not fretting it too much. I plan of starting my home workouts again tonight.
11/25 - 158 - I did not start my workouts yesterday due to my class schedule, but today is a new day!
11/26 - I forgot again, but I did my workout yesterday (but not tonight).
11/27 - Forgot again... I only remember when I turn on my computer before breakfast, apparently.
11/28 - 155.6 - Probably not a lot of work on my part... I presumed the 158 was retention of water. (I had Friday night snacks, too, so it was really unexpected.)

11/28 - 153.2 - That's slightly confusing. I hit my water goal but still feel a little dehydrated. I was sooooo full it was painful to move and drinking water wasn't helping my case. Problem was, I had to try my cheesecake. It was a hit and only a couple pieces left when I went in. After dinner I realized there was no way I could eat a piece until I saw it was almost gone. Pecan pies went untouched because the cheesecake was the show stealer apparently. Either way, I'm slightly more bloated looking than yesterday, but not as bad as I expected. Weight is down so I'm not going to complain! I feel like the bloat will fix itself through today. Made it 17.25hrs fasting yesterday (yay! win for me) and starting fasting a little earlier than normal. BF said he planned on sanding down his bug for primer today. Its got a load of bondo and chipped paint. We can't afford to do a paint job, but he's done body work all his life so sanding things down and primering it isn't out of his realm. It'll also help us see what kind of body trouble the bondo is covering up so we can fix and the primer will help seal things up to avoid rust and other issues. Perfect job for a rainy dreary day.

Previous Day's Comments11/23 - Bump as I expected the way my body has been acting lately. Had seafood last night as an annual birthday dinner for Gramps (the dinner is his gift so we made it socially distanced). Didn't eat much but was quite full after. Then had a small slice of homemade gluen/dairy free German Chocolate Cake to finish off the night because I can't turn down coconut! Not sure, but guessing, that is what's caused the bump up. That, and I'm sore from 2 hours of leaf blowing with a handheld blower. The boys had their backpacks (BF finally got to use his birthday gift I got him!) Woke up this morning and for some reason, I thought it was Tuesday or Wednesday. Weekend wasn't the most restful so I can understand my groggy confusion haha Made it 1 minute shy of 16hrs fasting yesterday, did leaf blowing in my fasted state which actually dulled my hunger for quite a bit. Today, if BF doesn't make me breakfast, I'll aim for another 16hrs. I may need to start pushing my fasts a little longer to see more benefit of it. And FamWife and I discussed trying to incorporate healthier foods in our meals. Hopefully between the two of us, we can!
11/24 - No movement is better than a gain! TOM arrived. Again. Had a visit 2 weeks ago and wasn't supposed to have another visit for 1.5 more weeks. Pretty sure it was my medication - did you know some cold meds and antibiotics can actually cause birth control to lose effectiveness? I'm on the pill due to hormone imbalances - it would make sense if my cold meds caused it to not properly balance my hormones and my body went a little haywire. Would also explain the bloating and weight bouncing. Its not harmful, its the natural state of my body. I just prefer to have a regular schedule and avoid all side effects of imbalances. Hopefully, since I stopped taking my cold meds Friday, it'll be out of my system and I can go back to normal. Fasted just shy of 16hrs yesterday and just barely under my water goal. Today is a little bit busier work day so I'll be glued to my computer and therefore my water bottle at my desk. Hopefully I can also fast a little longer but time will tell if BF makes breakfast for just him or for us both. I have a sinking feeling he'll make biscuits and gravy for us both and that's my weakness. I'll at least be close, if not at, 16hrs by the time that happens which is good. Could be worse!
11/25 - A little drop down. I noticed last night, even after eating dinner, that my stomach looked quite a bit less bloated. I almost looked like I had dropped several pounds off me the difference was so huge. Was hoping the scale would reflect what the mirror did, but I'm good with any drop! Ended up fasting 17.5hrs yesterday, woo! I was planning on eating around the 16hr mark but realized I wasn't horribly hungry, I just wanted food for the taste of it. So I showered and ran errands over my lunch period first (I got the eggs for Deviled Eggs!) Then I had a small lunch as I couldn't put together much without being late to my meeting. Held off eating again until dinner - glad I didn't snack, dinner was delicious and I could enjoy a bit more. Water was really good, too. Didn't quite measure (my cup is 32oz so its that or less), but I'm pretty sure I surpassed my target water goal. Today I'll be making my apple crisp for tomorrow and probably knock out the pecan pie cheesecake for Friday's Friendsgiving potluck (all planned around COVID restrictions - its the friends whose kids all go to school/daycare and play together. We'd all end up sharing sickness from kiddos anyway. Still taking precautions among the adults, 2-4 year olds don't always listen well). May even knock out the pecan pie for Friday, as well. Cheesecake was a request, pecan pie is for me, but I suppose I'll share for the sake of my waistband
11/26 - Power went out and woke me up. Couldn't weigh but wanted water so chugged some before power came back on. Woke up with bleeding lip due to lips being so dry and cracked. Not sure why, drank like 90oz yesterday and day before! Hopefully today I can keep up on it. Busy busy day. All I have left to make is deviled eggs, though I already have the eggs boiled. Happy Thanksgiving to all my US friends here!
11/27 - Likely a lack of water (cooking and hard to drink and go pee as much when you're trapped in the kitchen!) and food. I didn't eat too awful much, but still more than I normally would in one sitting. I had to try all the dishes, of course. Luckily we ate at about 3pm and I started fasting earlier than normal. Already almost at my 16hrs for today. Hoping to fast as long as possible today and tomorrow to offset 2 thanksgiving dinners a bit. Especially since I only got about 13.5 hrs yesterday. FamHub attempted to make Scotch eggs and oh my were they delicious. I only had one, but it was earlier than I'd normally eat (still warm and fresh - plus I had to get one before everyone else ate them all!) Friendsgiving today means more food, but I'll probably tone it down and stick with simple stuff since the majority of it will be similar to yesterday's food. Plan is to eat at 3 or so again so maybe I can start fasting early like yesterday. If not, it's fine. One day of indulgence and a second day of slightly less indulgence won't kill me. I got my pecan pie fix yesterday, FamHub's mom made it. Today I'll taste a small bit of my pecan pie cheesecake so I can learn and improve on it but no other desserts. Thankfully too much sweet stuff makes me feel sick to my stomach these days so its easier to stay away from it. Not sure when that change happened as I used to love sweets so much, but I'm sure glad it did. I'm blaming BF, he hates sweets and so I stopped eating them as frequently. Now things that used to be normal to me taste overly sweet.

Okay, back on track today after a little food tantrum yesterday over not losing in R132 despite fewer calories & more exercise. 😁 Hitting the good protein, veggies, fats now through Wed., enjoying TG, then back on track. It’s cold today and there’s still snow on the ground from yesterday, but I’ll get out this afternoon for a couple of miles. I’m thinking of making a pot of minestrone. Mmmmmmm. Comfort soup!
11/24 - 183 - 1311 - 5.5 miles
Aww, come on. Very discouraging. My average calories have been below maintenance for two weeks, macros P20, F40, C40 (mostly veggies, legumes, & whole grains), exercise increased, and I’m not snacking like I was. I even reset my scale in case it was stuck in some sort of loop. I don’t believe in very restrictive, unsustainable diets but I’m thinking of going back to the elimination diet I was prescribed for inflammation a couple years ago. It melted 20 pounds off in no time (but I gained it back plus more in the next 18 months). No walk today — sleet and wind — but I’ll try to do something. Maybe clean the house? Nah!
11/25 - 182.8 - 1591
I had a long think last night about my “struggle” and I’ve decided to take a different approach. Rather than worrying about timed weight-loss goals and calories cutting, I’m going to aim to keep my calorie average about 100 below my estimated maintenance level based on SailRabbit TDEE, MFP’s maintenance number, and my own experience (which I plan to chart in detail today or tomorrow). I’m aiming for more protein, esp. fish, few to no refined carbs, and healthy fats, and only occasional, planned snacking — say, pumpkin pie tomorrow night! I’m also aiming for more movement, including walks and starting to jog, but realistically I’m not likely to do a lot of that in the northern Indiana winter and I’m going nowhere near the gym, so I’ll do what I can. I really might have to do more housework! But as I said yesterday, nah! Ok, tmi as usual. American friends, be safe this holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving!
11/27 - 183.4 - 1916
No surprise there. Leftovers today, and I’m just going to enjoy them, though I’m subbing steamed broccoli for stuffing and having a small piece of pumpkin pie instead of the “healthy” (meaning “not so much”!) piece of pecan pie I had yesterday. My 3.5 mile walk didn’t burn that baby up! I have half the round left to balance things with non-holiday fare. I’m going to try for a walk today, but it’s cold and damp out and I’ve become a serious weather weenie after living on the southern coast of NC for 10 years! We’ll see. I hope those of you who celebrate TG had a lovely day yesterday. Be safe, everyone.
11/28 - 183.4 - 1926
Yep, leftovers. But I started this morning with a high-protein breakfast and have the rest of the day planned for “regular” calories, lots of water, and a walk, even if short. All good. Happy Saturday!

I haven't been able to get into the "Community" since the 24th! Started to read everyone's posts - but 7 pages was too much. Hope everyone is well. I'll get caught up!
