The bike shop in Portsmouth says that if I bring the bike in on Monday and can leave it for 2 or 3 days, they will work it into their schedule. I should have the bike working by the end of next week!1

Lol, not only am I not in the 150's, but I also gained 1.1 pounds. I'm ok with that, it will get harder the closer I get. I did average 3300 steps per day last week. My clothes still fit and that is the important thing. I was on track, and I did plan every day. I will endeavor to do better next week.
That microwave from the camper burns every mini bag no matter the power setting. I had box with full size bags, and I tried that, I can use the popcorn setting and turn it off 1 minute before its done and I get 2 days' worth of popcorn. Not hot and fresh, but it will only be for a month. I need to go and buy more full size bags.1 -
Hi Team! Just a quick check-in because I am tired. I went into the office today and got that work done in time to meet my friend for lunch to celebrate her birthday. I took Joe to the urologist and he was scoped and then told that because his bladder is tired he might continue to have issues and the doctor didn’t want to send Joe home without the cath in because if he ran into a problem we would be back in the ER. Soooo Joe will continue to wear the cath until next Wednesday morning when they will take it out early and then bring him back for a bladder scan. OK! Joe asked me a little while ago what is happening and all I could say is that we take it one day at a time. That is all we can do.
I did have a good time yesterday doing an exercise in the Never Binge Again workbook where I had to write a series of small essays on what my life would look like one year from now as if I HAD followed my rules 100%. I wrote about my confidence, physical & mental health, energy level, relationships, clothes, finances, and physical fitness. It was a great exercise to do and really got me thinking about what my future could look like if I wasn’t constantly in a weight loss mentality.

@micaroo4 That's wonderful, glad to hear you're getting your bike back soon!
@trooworld What kind of sauce was on the Greek chicken bowls, it sounds really good and I eat a ton of chicken so if you have the chance I'd love the recipe if you have a link.
@FushiaKat Glad your clothes are still fitting, it does get harder closer to goal for sure.
@TeresaW1020 I'm so sorry to hear Joe is stuck with the catheter for now. I agree with taking it one day at a time, I'm sure you're both very overwhelmed. The Never Binge Again exercise sounds awesome, what a great thing to picture a year from now.
Hi everyone. I did my workout and got ready to go to the greenhouse and had a text from my brother that he was stuck on his floor in his bedroom from his back pain and could I come by with my unit (I told him he could try it on Easter but he was being stubborn). It's so hard to see him on the ground in pain, I guess I'm seeing what it's like for my family seeing me that way because I felt very helpless. I left him with a TENS Unit and water and a banana after being there for 2 hours keeping him company and taking the dog out. He's never had sciatica before and he kept saying how nice it was to talk to someone who understands, I guess my poor SIL is saying the wrong stuff. Planted two flats of lettuce at the greenhouse and watered everything then came home and have had a pretty mellow day. I finally got a good night's sleep and feel like my body's starting to come out of this flare. Have a great Wednesday!0 -

Good morning All!
Rejoice! We made the wake-up list!!
Busy day on tap for today but my hip hurts. I think I did too many sit ups on that machine in the gym. I did 100 straight for 3 days and now I feel it. I'll probably take a break this morning even though I'm dressed for it. I feel that hip today and I felt it yesterday.
We have an artist coming in for a talk this afternoon at the library and I'm looking forward to that. I have to help with set up and refreshments so I probably better rest up for that. I'll take something from over the counter.
I'm proud of the few pounds that I've been sheading. I don't want this hip to mess that up but I know I have to be careful.
Everybody have the most amazing day and let's go get it!!

@Glombog sorry to hear about your car, glad it's fixed.
@trooworld Thank you for the recipe, sounds awesome! I'll try it soon, need to get some of the ingredients.
@askewcr I'm sorry to hear your hip hurts, I hope it's feeling better. Sounds like a fun talk with the artists, have a blast! I hope your hip doesn't mess up your progress too, hopefully it will calm down fast.
Happy Thursday everyone! This is one of those mornings where it's hard to wait to eat until closer to noon to eat but I don't want to be hungry in the afternoon. I have my first board meeting with the charity tonight and need to do some brainstorming. Workout's done and watered at the greenhouse, it's raining today so I'll be in the house. I started a Dr. Hyman book and it seems pretty decent so far, someone was giving away a bunch of health books and I couldn't resist.0 -

@Katmary71 Ohhh I am sorry about your brother and his sciatica pain. I too know how awful that can be and I hope he is able to find some relief. Did the TENS help him? The NBA exercise about what I would be like a year from now if I kept on my plan was enlightening. Today as I was working, I had this thought about what would it look like if I stayed 100% on my plan for a month, a week, or even just for today? Looking at the big picture is great, but I also think it’s good to break it down into small bite-size pieces. I’m curious to see what my workbook might have to say about this idea.
I’ve listened to Dr. Hyman on podcasts. He is good.
@trooworld so sorry that you got a migraine. Your dinner with the Greek meatballs sounds great!
Hi Team! Joe had a better today than yesterday so that was good because I was able to go clean the church. We went to his ortho doctor yesterday and the doctor said his shoulder is doing well and he agreed that Joe doesn't need to add PT to all that is going on. We are very relieved about that! Tomorrow, he has his fourth, and hopefully last chemo treatment. I sooo want an end to this rollercoaster that we have been on. Today as I was cleaning the church, I listened to some interviews that the author of Never Binge Again has had with different people. It was super motivating and very helpful. If you are interested give one or more a listen and see what you think.https://www.neverbingeagain.com/general/WorkbookExamples.html

Bad news - gained a couple of pounds in the last 2 weeks ☹️
Good news - tax season is over and I can claim my life back!🙂
We are also heading to England for the first time in over 2 years for 2 weeks on Tuesday, so not sure if I will be able to weigh in and report until I get back.
Exciting times ahead, we get back on May 9 (assuming we don't test positive for Covid and get stuck in London), then my oldest son (who I have not seen for TWO and A HALF YEARS) flies in from Hong Kong on May 13 and our youngest son graduates from college on May 14!! I am beyond excited 😍

Good morning everyone!
It's a great beautiful day in GA!! My hip (and back) feel much better today. I went back to the gym but didn't get on that machine. The author talk was fantastic. This lady makes beautiful pieces using bits of yarn to create moments from her childhood. It is absolutely amazing!!
Have yourself the most amazing day and let's go get it!! 1 -

@TeresaW1020 I agree it's great to cut things down into bite-sized pieces. He's on steroids, he got the same treatment I get when I was going to the ER. I'm so glad Joe's shoulder is doing well, one less issue to worry about!
@gwamajtw91 How exciting going to England, I can't wait to hear about it! Have a great time! Sounds like a lot of fun coming up between that and seeing your sons next month.
@trooworld So are you having a wild party tonight? I'm kidding, funny how different we are when we're older, I got my hair done today and my big excitement this weekend is going to the farm and garden club open house tomorrow, woohoo! Enjoy the break!
@micaroo4 That's awesome, let the riding commence! Or are you going to wait for the tune-up?
@askewcr I'm so glad your hip and back are feeling better, that's wonderful!
Hi everyone! As I said to Chris I had my roots touched up, I wish my hairdresser wasn't married with a family so he could be my roommate and straighten my hair every week! Did my workout early then went to the greenhouse, everything is looking good there which is great since we've lost some stuff recently. I had my first board meeting with the charity last night and it was real exciting, she had asked us to come up with ideas and I contacted her afterward about possibly helping people who are disabled and/or elderly with grocery pickup and doctor's appointments. I could do the former but can't sit in an office for a long time, it would depend on how far it is but I think it would be great to reach people who are isolated like I was and make them feel part of our community. She started the charity after she'd been a single mom and her neighbors stepped in to help her and she wanted to give back which I love. That's it here, have a great one!3 -

@Katmary71 - not waiting for a tune up. The bike is fine to ride and the brakes are working. It only took him about 20 minutes to replace the cable. He used a better cable and he says that particular problem will never happen again. That first brake cable served me for 14 years, so I really can't complain.2 -

Hi Slims-
Not much going on here. Still working on my guest prep. They arrive next Sat. The plants we put in look healthy and are starting to grow. I did well with exercise this week. I have had sleep issues and have started prowling the house at night- which usually leads to some eating. Gotta nip that one in the bud right now.
Worked on some dementia stuff with my Dad yesterday. He has a good deal of denial going on. I'm trying very hard to help them avoid a crisis, but it may be beyond my control. Honestly, I have some denial myself. Thinking about my Mom in the later stages of this disease.... well.... my brain just won't let me go there right now. But I know they are going to need help and I'm trying to get my Dad to realize he needs to plan so he can get what he needs when he needs it.

@gwamajtw91 You have such exciting things happening with your trip to England, seeing your oldest after such a long time, and your youngest graduating from college. I can feel your excitement and I hope you have a wonderful time!
@trooworld That is great that you and your husband will have some time off together. Enjoy the zoo!
@askewcr so glad that you are feeling better and were able to get back to the gym. I’m loving our GA spring days. I just want the pollen to stop so I can get out and enjoy my screened-in porch.
@Katmary71 What a great idea you had to help the elderly and disabled get to such important places as grocery stores and doctor’s visits. I imagine you can find so many places that could use such a service. I’m thinking smaller churches where they don’t have enough help for their elderly members would be a nice place to reach out to.
@Cornanda I understand how hard it is to face that your mom is dealing with something so hard to accept. I feel for you and your dad! I’m so praying that what I see in my Joe is from the chemo and that once he is finally free of all those drugs I will see an improvement in his speech and memory. I sometimes feel like I’m communicating with a toddler that can’t remember what word he wants to use.
Good morning, Team! Well, yesterday was Joe’s last chemo treatment. We are super excited and really praying that he is now on the road to being declared cancer free. We have to wait a few weeks to get a scan done to know for sure. We had a call last night from his oldest son and he is going to come out for a few days in June to visit. And this morning we got a text from his youngest son that he and his family want to come out in June too! They will be on separate weeks so that will be good. We haven’t seen them in a few years and Joe is very excited. They need to see their dad and I’m happy they realize it. And now I have some extra motivation to get more weight off! I’m off now to start a new Beachbody program called Chalean Extreme. It’s an older program but looks fun and really focuses on building lean muscles. Have a great day!
