Good evening
TOPS Rally was good. The speaker was good with some good points. I’ll go over them when you have more time.0 -
Good evening,
TOPS this morning, I lost .4 pounds.0 -
Good Morning Everyone!
I am glad everything seems to be going so well for you. Our rally was on Saturday and I had a great time seeing everyone. I look forward to the tips you got from your rally.
Life has been crazy. Life has mainly consisted of eat, sleep, school and TOPS rally. Now it's just consisting of eat, sleep and school. I am doing really we in class so far. But will get a bit tougher soon. Made some new friends there as well. The intervention didn't go as planned as no one but myself and my friend where we were holding it was there. He did stay clean for a bit but then got back into it. Sunday was the day he got caught. I gave him an ultimatum to either give me the drugs or leave. He chose neither. So I am done trying to get through to him. I have more or less checked out of the relationship. But unfortunately have to stay there for the foreseeable future as I can't afford to be out on my own at this time and refuse to couch surf. He thinks everything is fine between us LoL. I have no problem letting him believe it as it keeps the peace in the house.

Good Morning Everyone!
Making a quick stop in to say Hi before class. Not getting home till late tonight as I am going to a night TOPS group since unable to be at my own group for now. I know several of the members and am looking forward to it even if I am a little nervous.0 -
Good evening
I had a .1 pound gain. That’s almost the same as turtle.
I saw the dr this morning. I’m going to start a new medication on Monday for my blood pressure. It’s been running a little high.1 -
Good Morning Everyone!
A .1 gain to me is a turtle. Hope you can get your blood pressure going in the right direction.
Sorry I missed checking in yesterday had to study for a quiz on the way to class.
Really enjoy the TOPS group I am visiting for several weeks. Was highest loser runner up which I was not expecting. I know several of the members from other events so it feels like I am part of the family already. I am carrying a 93 in class right now and very proud of that. Have a pretty busy schedule this weekend. But stayed up late last night hanging with friends.

Good evening
93 is a really good score! I forgot to mention last night that I hope things work out with your husband.
It’s been a quiet rainy day at home today. There was no rain this morning when I walked. I’m just over 3 miles now, close to what I was doing before my knee replacement. My knee isn’t quite 100% yet, but that takes 6-12 months for that. It’s been 3 months.1 -
Good Morning Everyone!
Unfortunately Hubby and I will not workout. He has chosen the drugs over me. Unfortunately I can't afford to just walk out and be on my own. He thinks we're still together and for the most part play the game to keep the peace.
Yesterday completed homework, and spent the afternoon and evening with friends. We have one friend that has shown me some interest. I enjoy the attention but not ready to go past that stage. Need to get myself figured out. A 14 year relationship that's been only done for a week is a lot to go through expecially since we still live together and he acts like we're still together.
Today went to Church and had a retired teacher review my math homework. This afternoon hanging with friends and the ex is going.

Checking in a little early this morning as I want to be able to study on the bus to school. This morning's quiz is about the 5 mother sauces. I know most of it but it never hurts to review till the last second. Forgot to mention I dyed my hair violet on Saturday morning. Getting lots of compliments so far. Can't wait to see what reaction I get in class today. Yesterday as I said was Church and yes I always find solace when I am there. Did dishes and laundry before heading out to hang with friends. Ended up staying longer than planned but that's ok I had a great time. Also got a couple ouchies from my friends 9 month old puppy who looks like a full grown dog. But it was a great workout none the less.

Good evening
Robert had his 2nd cataract surgery. His first one was a couple weeks ago and was a success. I have to remind him no lifting anything over 20 pounds for the next couple weeks.
Our church ladies are crocheting or knitting kids hats to be given away to anyone who needs one. So far I’ve finished 4 of them. I bought more yarn today.1 -
Good Morning Everyone!
Glad all is going well for you and Robert.
Quiz on pasta this morning and this afternoon is an exam for one of my certifications. It's the last week of in class. Next week we start in the kitchen. Trying not to get to nervous about it as it's just a kitchen. Anyways hung out at my friend's last night for a bit before going home to get ready for another day of school. Back again today after class as it's my way of limiting how much time I am at home. Need them to decompress after a mind numbing class.

Good evening
Quiet day mostly at home. I slept in this morning, so my early morning walk was later. This afternoon I made a quick trip to the grocery store. Tomorrow is TOPS. I think I’ll do well,1 -
Good Morning Everyone!
Good luck at TOPS!
For those that don't know I am taking a Cook Pre-apprenticeship program. 3 weeks in class which ends Friday with a final exam. 6 weeks in the kitchen which I start on Tuesday due to the Canadian Thanksgiving. Then I will have a placement for 12 weeks which I hopefully will gain a job from. As of last Friday my grade was a 93. The last 2 quizzes I took I got perfect! The big test I was supposed to take yesterday afternoon we got pushed to this morning. But I am feeling really confident about it. It's 60 questions of stuff I know.
Yesterday chilled at a friend's for a couple hours after class. Then went home to a hot apartment because the ex didn't turn on the air. Anyways after class today I have to come straight home and prep most of my salad fixings for the salads I am taking to class on Friday for our potluck. Don't have time to do it all on Thursday as I have TOPS after class.

Good evening,
I had a small gain (.4 pounds) at TOPS this morning. It was kind of nice not having to go to PT afterwards. I’m done with PT. Yeah! We have church tonight.1 -
Good Morning Everyone!
You'll be back to losing all the time soon. Congrats on graduating from PT.
I am confident I passed my test for a certification yesterday with flying colors. I wish I could share all my dishes with all of you. No we're not getting marked on our potluck dishes.
Yesterday went well as I wrote above. Today we have a quiz on sandwiches and then start studying for smart serve certification and reviewing for our exam for tomorrow. I also have TOPS tonight after class. Could be a late night as I have to finish up my potato salad and do my bean salad ready for school tomorrow. Just writing out what's happening between today and tomorrow makes my head hurt LoL. Also need to fit some studying in this afternoon and tomorrow morning.

Good evening,
Today, I took Mary to PT for her shoulder. It’s been about 3 weeks since her surgery. While she was getting PT, I exercised on the machines.
Tomorrow, she wants to go to Missoula for her monthly shopping. I’m not sure how that will work out.
I’m glad your doing well on your testing.1 -
Good Morning Everyone!
That's a great way to pass the time. Glad Mary is doing well.
Yesterday went well got perfect on my quiz but it was easy. Weigh-in at TOPS last night was not good with a gain. But it is what it is. Got my salads done for the potluck and went to bed at a decent time. Today is my final day of in class and am going into the exam with a 94. I haven't studied much but definitely confident I know more than I think I do. That's been proven the whole time. Will do some review on the bus and before class as a refresher. The teacher will see me doing that and say "It's not that big of a deal" as she always does. I know she is right but it helps to keep me calm before hand as it keeps my mind from freaking out. It's been raining here since yesterday afternoon but hope doesn't run much this afternoon as I have some errands to run before stopping by my friends.

Good evening,
Mary got really tired yesterday. But she got done what she wanted to do.
Today is the start of Indian Summer. I hope it last a long time. I love the nice warm sunny days.
My morning walks are just over 3 miles, like they were before surgery.1 -
Good evening
I walked early this morning likel I usually do. This afternoon, I took Mary to PT. While she was with the therapist, I worked out on the machines. Now I’m tired.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea you're doing great with your walks!
It's been crazy busy around here. Saturday was a friend's 69th birthday party. Drank more than I should have but still had a great time. It even opened up my ex's eyes that something was wrong between us. On Sunday I went to Church and then my brother's for Thanksgiving. On Monday the ex and I had a heart to heart about everything and he has asked me to give him a chance to change. I have agreed to that but we aren't back together officially yet as he has a lot to prove. Monday afternoon we went to my friends for Thanksgiving. Tuesday was the first day in the kitchen. It went well and had math class in the afternoon. Today was a full day in the kitchen. It's going well and we're definitely seeing who in the class bails for lunch before all the work gets done. Tomorrow back into the math class in the afternoon. My body handles the day fine until I get home and relax.

Good evening,
I’ve puttered mostly around home today after my walk. In about 45 minutes, I’ll go to a crochet/knitting group. We are making hats to be given to kids in December.1 -
I hope things work out with you and your hubby.1
-
Good evening,
Other than my morning walk and a quick trip to the grocery store, I’ve puttered around the house. Not much else.1 -
Good evening
As usual I walked early this morning. A little further than usual. Then Malia spent the morning with us. She’s come a long ways in the last 3 years, a much better person.1 -
Good afternoon
I’m in earlier than usual because I probably won’t have time later.
I walked early this morning as usual. Then we went to church. After church the kids we’re going to a pumpkin patch. They had lunch at the church before they left. I was asked to cook it. Everything was bought before hand. All I had to do was put everything in the oven.
It was a lunch of grease! Not something I would have chose, but it was easy. It was Dino Bites Chicken and Tatertots. Lots of FAT! I watched serving size and still ate within my calorie range, but I’m hungry. I have just a little over than an hour for supper. I CAN do it!1 -
Good evening
I walked early this morning. Then I took Mary to PT. I also got my blood test done. I saw the results. It looked mostly good. My potassium was at the very bottom of normal range. I haven’t heard from the doctor yet.1 -
Good evening
I took Mary to a doctor appointment this morning. I heard from my doctor. I double one of my medications. It’s what I figured she would do.1 -
Good evening
It’s been a busy day! First I walked early this morning. Then Tops. I was Loser of the Week, with .9 pound loss. Then we came to town and did our TOPS Walk, about 1.5 miles, for the TOPS anniversary.
I came home and puttered for awhile, then we had lunch. This afternoon, I took Mary to PT. Tonight we have church.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea you're doing great with your walks. We did our TOPS walk last Saturday. Their was only 3 of us as the rain scared people off. We were lucky no rain while we actually walked.
I am truly sorry for being MIA so much. I do feel bad that I have not been able to make it in as much as I normally do. Life has been busy with school and other responsibilities. My weight is definitely suffering due to it as well. I definitely need to find a better life balance. But so far has not happened. I find myself tired and not wanting to do anything during my rare down times. Today I planned on going for a walk but went to Church, made cabbage soup, did dishes, laundry and then slept most of the afternoon. On Friday I left class an hour early fir a hearing appointment and found out that I have traumatic hearing loss. Not sure what caused it as to my knowledge I have never experienced anything to cause that issue. Now my hearing will be monitored yearly. Also had a birthday party Friday night for my cousin and drank to much but did have fun. Saturday morning was rough from the night before but kept my commitment to my foster TOPS group and helped with their bazaar. Purchased a few things and also received something's as gifts. Tomorrow I will miss part of my class as I have a dentist appointment and couldn't make it work for after class.

Good evening
Do the best that you can! You have a lot on your plate.
We hat a table at the Rarly Christmas Bazaar on Saturday. Our chapter got some good exposure, a couple possible members, and made about $68. We’ll have another table at a bazaar in December. Our main goal is exposure. Below is a picture.
This week and next we have a bunch of doctor appointments.
