Good Evening Everyone!
Today was another busy day! My back is still really sore. Went to Mom's apartment to finish the cleaning and removing of the last little bit (mostly cleaning supplies and the rest of what was in the freezer. Had my Son with me to help do the things my back wouldn't allow me to do as well as bring back everything. That was fun on the bus even with 2 carts. Also ran end of month errands. Also got some light exercise done as well. Almost done chapter 4 of studying already as it is a small chapter and is about body composition. I decided to take a short break after that chapter is complete. Everything that I wanted moved to storage was done yesterday with space to spare.0 -
Good evening,
It's been a very quiet day at home. The only time I was even out of the house was to get the mail. I got the new TOPS news magazine. There is quite a bit on "fat shaming". It might be something to go through for the next few meetings.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea - still haven't gotten my new magazine yet but that sounds like a great program. I am doing 2 1 in March and 1 in April. Maybe I will do that as one..
Today was sunny🌞and in the 40s F and a bit windy. Son and I went for a walk to get some groceries. Wanted to get a new yellow highlighter but that didn't happen as that store wasn't open yet. Went for a great walk at the river this evening. No where near what I was doing before it got to cold but it felt great. My back is still sore on and off but feels a lot better than it did. Tomorrow going to meet my brother to give him the keys at Mom's building so that he can do the walkthrough and turn them over to management. That will be another step in the process done of getting all Mom's stuff taken care of. I am glad it will be done but will definitely miss the routine of going there. Made chilli and cornbread for dinner.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a good day. Back hurts less. Mom's keys were turned over. Did some exercise and started a puzzle. Tomorrow is weigh, rest and TOPS day. Not sure how the scale will react. I just pray that I stayed the same or lost. We will see.0 -
Good evening,
I took Mary to PT this afternoon. She's doing it once a week. That's easier to manage thane 2 times a week. Both of us were tired of the 2 times a week. We'll see if it's helping with just once a week.
Tomorrow I have an appointment with an endocrinologist. I think it's not needed but my primary doctor thinks it is.
This coming weekend, we're going to see our kids again. 2 of our grandkids are having birthdays in March. We're celebrating early because they will be gone when their birthdays are.
I need to make some fudge. One of my daughter in law missed getting some of my fudge. So I promised to make her some.1 -
Good evening!
I had my appointment with the endocrinologist. I like this doctor. It's the first time I've seen him. I've seen other doctors in the same office, but they've all gone somewhere else. He said I'm stabilized with the aldosterone. And I'm also taking lower dose of the drug that control it and that's good. My BP is really good and has been good. So all is well. I told him that my primary doctor isn't comfortable with treating it so she keeps sending me to the endocrinologist. I also told I'm comfortable with the treatment of it. So all is good.
Tomorrow I have TOPS. We'll see how that goes.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Glad you had some great news from your appointment. I am glad that your doctor sends you to a specialist when they don't feel comfortable treating something. Some would just treat it or worse ignore it.
Today was rest, weigh and TOPS day. 🔻2.75 lbs! I was top loser! Woohoo! Got my Son's and my life insurance taken care of today. Feel so much better having that done. She also talked to me about some other things as well that I need to figure out. It was great to talk to someone who has known my family for years and has experience in multiple things. Back is feeling better today but still a little sore. Glad it's a rest day.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a very busy day! I even went for my first official walk of the year. Hadn't planned to do the whole distance but felt so good. I have been planning a challenge that I am doing in a group. I am surprised how much work is going into it. How inspired I feel when I read over what I have written. I am so excited about leading it but extremely nervous as well. This is giving me good practice in positive self talk.

Good evening!
You look great! I can't seem to post pictures here. That's a bummer!
I have church tonight, so I'm here a little earlier than usual. Today has been mostly a quiet day at home.
I went to TOPS this morning. I had a small gain. Our lesson was on the first couple articles in the "fat shaming" series. It was good. Very positive! We'll be continuing in the series until we're done with them.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
A small gain is nothing to stress about. You've got this! I am thinking of doing them for my days doing program. I think it will be beneficial to our group.
Today was cold but sunny. Had a productive day! Studied, went for a short walk as it was just to cold, got my dishes almost caught up, and some laundry done. Also worked on the challenge a bit and played cards with Hubby.0 -
Good afternoon
We're on the to our son's house. Last night, we were at a dinner. I was really concerned about this dinner. I knew it was catered (28 people) and I was afraid the main course was spaghetti or lasagna or something else high caloric. It was actually something really nice.... Grilled steak, shrimp and/or ribs. I had some steak and a few shrimp. The shrimp was wrapped in bacon. I'm not a bacon fan, so I took the bacon off and gave it to my husband. I took a small helping of scalloped potatoes. There was also green beans. I also took a small piece of cheese cake. I still managed to stay in the calorie range.
I'll stay with in my range today, but not sure about tomorrow an Sunday.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Great job Bea! I knew you could stay in range. Have a great visit with your family.
Today has been a busy productive day. The sun was out but freezing till almost noon. Got my walks in this afternoon between walking to my clients and the grocery store. My winter challenge was hard for me. Ended with weighing more than my starting weight. Oh well guess I could call this maintenance. With everything that has happened during the challenge I am happy with how I did and that it wasn't worse. Almost ready to write my 3rd exam. The second one has not been graded yet but that's ok. Have my Son till Tuesday afternoon so it will be interesting.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a great day! Finished studying and wrote my last exam for this section. Now to wait for my next set of books. My son and I went for a walk this afternoon while it was still sunny and a decent temperature. Visited my friend and got an update on her husband. He has improved but is still not out of the woods yet. Has along way to go just to be on the mend. Also exercised and am playing Windsoropoly. Last night made fish tacos. Never cook fish that has not come from a box but it was awesome LoL 🤣.

Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a good day. Some movement and chores. Also played Windsoropoly and Mario Kart. I was able to work on getting my challenge ready for the 15th as I am on a study break till my books come in. Tonight's dinner is a repeat of Friday as it was a hit with all of us and is easy. Hubby wanted BLT's but no bacon.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a good day but also a sad day. Exercised, worked on some of my challenge, played game with Son and hubby, read and took a nap. Got my mark for my second exam. 96% should have been 💯% but made a silly mistake. My new study material has been shipped and is on the way! Now for the sad part of my day. My friend that has been in the hospital fighting for his life passed away today at 3 pm. He will be deeply missed by many.0 -
Good evening
We're home! And I'm tired.
Great picture!
Congratulations on a high score on your test. It's still a high score even with your mistake.
Sorry for your loss.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea - So glad you made it home safely.
Today was rest, weigh and TOPS Day. Down 0.75 lbs! YES I CAN! Today was a cold day with a few flurries but mostly sun. I have decided to write about my journey so far as a program for TOPS. I think it will help others and myself. Played cards with Hubby and Son went home.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been an off day. Hubby asked me to lay down with him this morning so everything is be hind schedule and chores took a bit of a back seat. Played some Mario Galaxy on the Wii. Not much movement with that game but my brain got a good workout LoL. Got most of my challenges planned and my TOPS program for the next couple weeks is ready to go. No can concentrate on week 2 of our teams in-between challenge and my studies when my books arrive.0 -
Good evening!
I had TOPS this morning. Another gain! Grrr
The rest of today, I just puttered around the house catching up on things. Last night, I was supposed to be at a meeting but the snow (yes, snow) was really coming down so I called off on it. Yesterday it snowed off and on all day. Today it's been sunny.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea you'll lose that gain in no time. Just do your best. We're getting snow tomorrow.
Today has been a good day so far. Very productive. Exercise, laundry, dishes, and almost completed the challenge I am working on. Also played a little Mario Galaxy and cards with Hubby. Might try working on the afghan that I am trying to do for my cousin's baby. Would like to have it done by Easter for when they visit but we'll see since it's barely started.0 -
Good afternoon!
Friday already! Yesterday we had the oil on our car changed and rear brakes replaced. While waiting for that to be done, we walked around the car lot and looked what is available. There was a couple we were interested in but decided against both. One almost as old as the car we have. The other was newer but a whole lot more mileage. Maybe another day.
I was supposed to take Mary to Missoula today for her monthly shopping. But her grandson is still sick. That's another story. So it's a quiet day at home today.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea sounds like fun. You'll find the vehicle that's ment for you when the time is right.
Today was snowy but most has already melted. Today was a very productive day. Exercises, dishes, laundry, started writing about myself, cleaned for client, ran some errands after work and played Mario Galaxy for about half hour. To ight will be reading and crafting. My next lesson for my course came today so will start that tomorrow probably. Also going to my sister's to sort through Mom's jewelry, and visit with my friend tomorrow.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been an off day. But that's ok. Got some studying done, went to my sister's to go through Mom's jewelry, and some exercise. Also visited with my friend who lost her husband. She invited us over for his birthday to celebrate him which is on Wednesday. She is also working on a celebration of life for him as he didn't want a funeral. Tomorrow will be a more normal day hopefully.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Snowed quite a bit today but is already mostly gone. But it's freezing out. Today was a very productive day! Lots of exercise, chores, phone calls, multiple other tasks, and played cards with Hubby. Trying to stay busy so I don't eat when not hungry. Found out that my Labor Day weekend is a go! Woohoo Harrow Fair here I come!0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a busy day but at least there has been sun and not so cold. Exercise, chores, studying, and challenge work. Also played cards with Hubby, played a little Mario Galaxy and visited a couple of friends. Tomorrow is my rest, weigh and TOPS Day. A little nervous about the scale but it will be what it will be.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was rest, weigh, and TOPS day. Gained 5#. Oh well all I can do is keep trying. Today has been crazy busy and still have a meeting tonight so making this quick.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
So yesterday was a crazy stressful day. But I had some good moments as well. Hopefully my Son's life insurance won't have any more issues.
Today is my friends birthday and we were supposed to be celebrating but haven't heard anything from his wife. Oh well maybe she changed her mind. I didn't get to bed till after midnight. Got up at usual time and my brain was a little foggy so gave up studying and cuddled with hubby and slept for about an hour. Felt better but still tired all day. Didn't get much done today but that's ok.0 -
Good afternoon
Time sue flew this week! It's Thursday already! It's been rainy here. Today is the first sunny day is a couple weeks.
I had a half pound gain at TOPS yesterday. We walked outside at TOPS for the first time in a couple months. No ice or rain. That was nice!
I took Mary to PT on Tuesday and stopped in for a little bit to see Bernie. If she doesn't straighten up, she'll be permanently in the nursing home. She was in bed watching TV. I told her she needs to be at least sitting in her chair. Her excuse was she had diarrhea. I'm going to have to give her another lecture!1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea another gain. Time to refocus and find what needs to be adjusted.
I am on my second lesson in my studies. I am studying Nutrition and Fitness. Slept better last night.
🌞. 68°F WOOHOO! Today was a beautiful great day. Found the pot of gold today. Well sort of. It helps relieve some stress and create new stress. But the new stress is manageable and will be gone by tomorrow. Bought some new clothes for the warm weather. Got some exercise. Also found out that not only did I lose a filling, I also broke a piece of my tooth. My coverage doesn't cover it till November so I now have an unexpected expense. Night snacking has been a little better. I hope that that's a good sign.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Sorry I missed posting yesterday. I spent the first half of the day studying and exercising. After lunch went to clean for client for about an hour, hung with friends for a bit then went to the mall with Hubby and Son. Bought myself a Fitbit as I have been wanting one for a long time. By the time we got home it was about 8 pm. Worked on setting up Fitbit and tracking for the day. Then there was a fire near us in a vacant home so stood in the cold rain watching it till I was to cold and wet. Got to bed about 1 am to be up at 6 am.
Today was off due to being tired. But got some dishes and laundry done. Caught up on some posting that didn't get done last night. Went grocery shopping and bought way to much lol. Played game of life with Son and Hubby. Also got some exercise done but not all of it as I didn't want to over do it with only about 4 hrs of sleep. I am learning lots in my studies. But most of what I am actually learning is either very technical or seems to contradict stuff I have already learned. The rest is like a refresher course of MFP, Sparks, and TOPS. I know the good stuff is coming sooner or later.0
