@TwistedSassette Thanks, the cold is getting better and for that I’m thankful. It is frustrating that getting the test results back takes so long. We have that issue here too.
@Katmary71 You poor thing! Hang in there as best you can.
@krea4 Your weight gain from vacation isn’t bad at all and you will get that off in no time. Have fun with the couch to 5k but be careful not to push too hard.
@trooworld I’m so glad that you had a great weekend!
@renagry Happy birthday to you!! As long as you keep moving forward your weight will catch up.
Hi Team! I’m thankful that I’m starting to feel better but still tired and blah. I took off today from working out but did my squat challenge, which was about all I had in me. I took my hubby to the doctor today too. He has been having a few issues with memory and dizziness. The doctor thinks there is a small chance that he has had a mini-stroke, so he is going for tests tomorrow and then maybe an MRI. I am refusing to think anything other than super positive thoughts. He is 78 years old, and I can accept that his issues are age-related. But that is it!! However, I would appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

@Katmary71 Audio Trip is a dancing game on my virtual reality headset. It's a lot of fun, and time passes quickly lol
Sorry to hear about the cracked windscreen - mine has about 4 chips in it from rocks kicked up by passing vehicles, I need to get it replaced but haven't gotten around to it. Hope your stomach settles down soon.
@krea4 Awesome plan with the C25K! Let us know how it goes when you start!
@bgame4 Nice loss
@renaegry Happy birthday!! I hope you have a wonderful day, filled with joyous celebration!
@TeresaW1020 Sending you all the positive thoughts and vibes as you wait to find out more about hubby's condition. I hope there is a simple explanation.
Not much to update here. Hubby is still waiting on his test results. Hopefully today. The trouble is that we live rurally where there isn't a lab, so they collect the samples and send them off for testing once a day. From what we can gather, they only get sent on weekdays, so any samples collected Friday afternoon through to Monday morning all get sent together. My BIL did his test on Friday around 11am, and just got his result this morning - we think that his sample was probably sent on Monday and my hubby's sample taken on Sunday morning was probably sent the same time. So hopefully it's just a matter of hours now as they work through the batch. He tried calling the hotline that you're supposed to call if it's been more than 72 hours, but it's so busy that you don't even get into a queue, it just tells you some other numbers to call for certain situations, and then hangs up! Frustrating, but hopefully the end of the wait is near!2 -

Hello- It's Wednesday!
@TeresaW1020 - glad you're feeling better. I just said some prayers for your hubby. Keep us updated.
@TwistedSassette - Hope you get the test result today and that it's negative. Seems likely it will be. You just reminded me that Just Dance on Wii is a fun way to burn some extra calories. Might have to work that into my evening routine.
@trooworld- you will definitely figure it out! I have faith in you!
Well, yesterday I baked some chocolate chip cookies for the kids to take with them. It's an annual first day of school tradition since Kindergarten. And even though they are young adults now, it's nice to have something familiar from home when you are settling into your new place. I threw a few cookies in the freezer to for hubby and me. The kids are taking the rest. BUT I did eat a good amount of cookie dough while baking them. So, I added a swim last night to help a bit. Tonight we will load up and tomorrow morning, my daughter and I will head out. She chose to move off campus this year, so her move might require a bit more time than a dorm move. Hubs and son will arrive Friday- he's living in the dorm again and we have that down to a science. Hopefully we will be on the road back home shortly after lunch at our favorite lunch place there. I'm excited to get them settled and then come home and REST!

@TwistedSassette Thank you for your good thoughts and vibes! I hope your husband hears back soon with his test results. Is your husband showing any symptoms?
@trooworld Thank you, I am sure hubby will be just fine! How are the boxing classes going? Do you still love it?
@Cornanda Thank you for your prayers. They are very appreciated! I wish you all the best in getting the kiddos off to their new homes for the school year. What plans do you have the hubby have once your empty nesters again? Besides eating those yummy cookies. 
Hi everyone! I decided to get back to my workout this morning and then did a bunch of housework and I think I overdid it because I am wiped out. Wednesday night church is starting back tonight but the kids are just having a game and pizza night, so I called and bailed on them, which is good because now I won’t be caving and eating pizza. Instead, I made hubby and my mom jambalaya rice with smoked sausage, and I had a bowl of scrambled eggs. Hubby had a test done this morning, but we haven’t heard anything and probably won’t until next week. He looks and feels good.

I had a pretty good day today. I volunteered at United Way organizing and such. There was a lot of walking and moving so I got lots of steps in. Then we visited my mother-in-law and she was feeling much better. Then we had bible study virtual and at was good. I am the miracle I've been looking for. I am encouraged! It was a good day.

@Krea4 Birthday is just a few months away, I'm the big 50 at the end of September, feels like a big deal but it really isn't, it's a good time limit for a goal for us though!
@Renaegry Happy birthday! Sounds like you're setting new goals, just think of where you could be next year and what you can do differently. I hope routine helps!
@TeresaW1020 Thoughts and prayers for your husband, I hope it's nothing too serious and whatever it is something that can be corrected or helped. I'm glad your husband is feeling good tonight and you two had a good night together.
@Cornanda How far away is the school your kids are at? Are they at the same one? It must be crazy having both in college at the same time! That happened with my brother and I because I slipped at work right out of high school and first avoided then needed back surgery and recovery so we ended up transferring to Universities at the same time. Definitely keeps you on your toes but then the house must seem real empty all the sudden too.
@TwistedSassette I hope your husband gets his results soon!
@trooworld Hope this weekend goes better for you! How's boxing going?
@askewcr You just gave me my most genuine smile of the day with you being the miracle you're looking for, you're right darnit! I've told you how much I love the spirit you bring to this group and your positive outlook, right?
Had a super busy day and tomorrow is busy too, I'm about to head to bed as I have to get up early for the food bank watering then have errands and an appointment in the afternoon for lab work. Of course I got to the lab 10 minutes after they closed today because my doctor's office is so slow, I actually stayed calm even though my blood pressure is going nuts again but I sprained my toe today so I'm limping and that's making my pain worse, the actual sprain just blends in with all the other stuff (sounds pathetic but it's true). I was asked to be on the HOA and said yes, I have an idea of what I have to do but I'm getting filled in tomorrow. I had my glasses repaired at Costco and he didn't charge me which was nice. My ex is still here, I'm hoping he'll be gone by the end of next month, at least his Jeep is almost done with repairs and he's starting to work again. I wish I could keep his cats! They adore him so I wouldn't, I'll just really miss them.1 -

Life continues to be very busy, in a very good way! I’ve had quite a bit of company from out of town and continue to spend tons of time with my grand kiddos. I know that once the grandkids are back in school/play school and fall rolls in with less visitors, I will have more time here:). I do find time once a week or so to read through posts and keep up that way.
I lost just over a pound again this week. Still doing a lot of eating out, potlucks and such, my strategy is to try to take half of what I normally would and concentrate on the proteins. This is definitely rough guesstimate at its finest LOL.

Hi Team! Well, I am sorry to report that I’m very sure that what I thought was cold has turned into Covid. I woke up this morning with no smell or taste and my head pounding. I have body aches as well, but no sore throat or cough. I should get my test results in the next 24 to 48 hours. So, I’m in quarantine with my family and praying that they don’t come down with it. Thankfully we are all vaccinated so if they do get it, hopefully, it would be mild like my case seems to be right now. I had to do my staff meeting on Zoom and tell them that I will not be organizing the potluck breakfast this Sunday. They will just have to figure it out. In other news, since I can’t taste anything, I’m not super motivated to eat, so hopefully my weigh-in tomorrow will be something to smile about.

@TeresaW1020 i am so sorry to hear that you have Covid!! So very grateful that you are vaccinated!! I’m hoping the head pounding leaves soon♥️0

@Cornanda Sounds like that rest will be well-deserved!! Best of luck with the move.
@TeresaW1020 It's so frustrating when you are ill and can't do the things you think you should be able to, isn't it?! Bailing on the church kids sounds like a good idea - not only avoiding the pizza but also making sure the kids don't catch your cold. Take it easy and let your body heal.
Ok now I just read your later post - and it's lucky that you did cancel on the church kids! So sorry that you may have covid. Wishing you a super speedy recovery, and hoping the best for your family and church community that nobody else has contracted it. Do you know where you may have picked it up?
@askewcr "I am the miracle I've been looking for" - I love it!
@Katmary71 Sending you a big, cozy virtual hug. Sounds like you have a whole lot going on at the moment, so it's great that you were able to stay calm in the face of adversity.
@trooworld I love hearing about the things you cook, the chicken sounds incredible!
@laurelfit Nice loss
Hubby finally got his result yesterday - negative, as we expected. I hadn't realised how much anxiety I was holding over that, so it was a real relief when he finally go the result.
Aside from that, not much to update here. Working from home has me eating more, so I need to stop that!1 -

I had a good day today. We practiced for the dance today which will be held Saturday. Praying for safety against COVID since it is a big to-do. My eating was better today so that's a blessing. Word for this season: "I am the miracle I've been looking for." I'm still chewing on that one. 1 -
@trooworld Those chicken breasts sound amazing!
@laurelfit57 Glad you're having fun with your company! Way to go on losing a pound!
@TeresaW1020 I'm so sorry to hear you may have COVID, prayers for a quick recovery, your plate just got real full!
@TwistedSassette So glad your hubby is negative!
@askewcr What kind of dance is it? Square dance? A dance sounds fun! I love your motto now!
I'm about to head to bed, I have Walmart pickup in the morning for cat stuff then meeting a friend for lunch. Things are tense at home because I'm waiting for my ex to move, we got into it tonight but he tried to "be friends", I just want him out to be honest. I'm going to take a lot of pictures of his kitties, I'll really miss them. Not much else going on, had some labs done and watered at the food bank twice, not feeling too hot so hoping for a full night's sleep. Take care everyone.0 -

@laurelfit57 Thank you! I’m grateful that I’m vaccinated too and that my symptoms are manageable.
@TwistedSassette Yeah, I’m happy that I canceled with the kids too and honestly mad at myself for not immediately going for a test, even though the first few days I didn’t have any of the typical Covid symptoms. I don’t know where I picked it up. There is a family in our church that got diagnosed on Monday and I was talking to the mother for just a moment on Sunday. But I don’t know. I’m so glad that your hubby is negative! I know it’s hard to not eat more when you are home all day. Maybe try pre-tracking your meals or at least your snacks and being strict with yourself about sticking to what you planned for.
@askewcr Thank you for the prayers. You did eat was much better! Keep it up.
@Katmary71 Thank you! I’m sorry things are so tense with your ex and I hope he does just leave peacefully and let you get on with your life. I know you will miss the kitties. Have you considered getting a new cat once he leaves? It’s a running joke with my friends that if my hubby dies, they are to bring me a kitten to help me with my grief. Hubby doesn’t like cats and I love them!
@trooworld Thanks, it sucks and I just want to be back to feeling normal. I am so happy that the boxing class is so welcoming to you. Having that kind of support is what will keep you going every week. Mmmm Funyuns are the devil, but they are a tasty one!
@renaegry You just need to get back into a normal routine that doesn’t involve having so much fun at the lake.
@Lulu_jo Wow great loss this week! I agree that getting in enough water is magic.
Hi Team! Well, I didn’t get my results back yet and that is annoying but it’s OK. I’m still pretty sure it will be positive. I feel ok other than being tired and having no smell and very limited tastebuds. It’s soooo weird but maybe a good thing because I really don’t care about what I eat as long as it takes care of my hunger. I made sloppy Joe’s tonight and had to have my hubby taste it to make sure it was seasoned correctly. I was happy to lose 2.2 lbs this week! I’ve really been working on keeping to my calories and macros. Of course, I haven’t worked out at all and I imagine that might be why my weight is dropping faster than normal. Once I’m back to lifting weights it will for sure slow backdown.

I probably won't be able to check in here more than once a week because school has started for teachers (students start on Tuesday). I am excited to see my students, and I still have a lot to do to prepare (including figuring out how to co-teach for only the first four days of school until I can get into my classroom). It's ok; it's worth it to make a difference.2
