I was checking my weight at home throughout the week and as staying pretty steady, we can go with that or I can update Wednesday when I get home…someone let me know!

Sunday & Monday just sucked as far as exercise and eating goes. But today is a new day, and I ran 2.5 miles this morning. I am going to be a supermom bad*kitten* today and be awesome at life! I am not going to give up on my goals and will see 136 on the scale before the end of the month! Or I will earn the title of cotton-headed ninny-muggins!4 -
@Katmary71 – I think this year for my 31 Nights of Halloween movie list I’ll have a list of 31 movies I want to watch, but not designate specific days to watch. Last year, sometimes I just wasn’t in the mood for the genre I had for a particular night. This way, I can look at the list and see what speaks to me. Did you ever watch X? The prequel, Pearl, is going to be at my theater this Friday. I hate going to anything alone, but I think I will just to see it.
@trooworld – Hugs about the doctor visit. I know one of Hunters BPDII meds keeps her from losing weight…not sure if it’s the Caplyta or Risperdal. Anyway, I’ve pinned your Chile recipe for later – definitely looks like a yummy winner!
@askewcr – Happy Belated Birthday!
@leti126 – I like @Tamevv ‘s idea of rice cakes…I like to add 1/2 T of peanut butter on mine to help keep me satiated. I love the crunch from the rice cakes and the salty PB hits the spot.
It’s been super busy for me since last week Friday, so sorry I don’t have responses for each of you. I know you’ll forgive me! Today is my son’s 27th Birthday. He’s my oldest. His new wife called me yesterday to ask what she should do to celebrate. She comes from a family that goes all out and my family is more low-key…so I told her to get his favorite yummies and that would make him happy. Today she sent me this photo of him with fried chicken, sushi, cheese & crackers, cheesecake and ice cream. His shipmate/roommate picked out the unicorn decorations because sailors are funny that way
(Oh…and he’s still in his jammies because he had ship duty overnight and took a nap at 7am when he got home.)
Have an awesome day everyone! Make good choices, hydrate, and love yourselves for who you are NOW…not just who you want to be!
50x50 & NO ZERO DAYS!

Hello Peeps. I'm loving the new computer. The blood pressure medication that I'm taking for esophageal spasms is starting to work really well, so much easier to eat now. I'm getting an abdominal CT Scan on Thursday, I might have a hernia above my belly button. I didn't notice it when I was bigger so no telling how long its been there but it can't be longer than 3 years because it was not there when they did the Umbilical Hernia repair. I'm wondering if I hurt myself when I had the Stomach Flu, it was so bad I went to the hospital because I could not stop throwing up and I had the worst stomach pain. It took a year to get fully over the stomach flu.
There was a huge fire in the next city over from ours, it was terrible, ash was raining down and making it hard to breathe. My car just got washed two days before and now its a mess again.
I'm still on track to hopefully reach goal weight by the end of the year. I have not been as strict in weighing my food if it's .2 ounces I go ahead and eat it. But not over my calorie budget. I added radishes to my salad's now, a super low calorie food.4 -
@trooworld - I told you I can’t make plans. Thought I would be home all week and most of the month for my moms surgery and my drs appt on the 20th, my appt was moved to the 7th so that’s taken care of and I ended up running to Iowa with the hubs really fast on Saturday, was back at my moms by 10 Sunday night. Now I’m sure we will more than likely head back out before the end of the week and I didn’t get anything done at home! 😂 I’m glad you got to save some money for the time being. So sorry you tripped and got hurt and that’s some bummer news from the doctors visit! ☹️ I’m glad the scale is moving for you!!!
@19shmoo69 - sorry your having it rough, I’m a eat a cheat meal and it turns into cheat days or weeks person also. I really have to look ahead to something I’m wanting to do and see myself doing it at smaller size, then I can mentally set my mind to making goals and keep pushing. My birthday and Anniversary are usually great goal dates, may and October! I set smaller dials along the way. Do you have a good scale!? I make sure mine is clean and the area under it clean everytime before I step on it, once there was a tiny gravel piece under one peg and it threw might weight way off 😂😂😂 I was also once told to keep it in the same place so I’m pretty good at that at home but not when I have to travel. I was asking bc my moms weight is all over the place and she has huge gains and losses, I tried her scale and it was way off from my own so I think she has a crappy scale. Mine is always pretty consistent. 🤷🏻♀️
@Katmary71 - I have not watched Cobra Kai yet but I was surprised to see how many seasons it has now so I might have to jump in. I begged my doctor for my hysterectomy!! I had so many procedures I was just done with it all!!! I feel for ya!!! Hope it helps or you get it taken care of and you start feeling better soon!
@barbylucedistelle - I’m sorry I’m missed wishing you a Happy Birthday!!! My Birthday is always a splurge day, I hope you at least enjoy the day! The hotel spa sounds so amazing! Sorry that you feel so bad, you are right you haven’t lost it all. Also happy late birthday this week to @askewcr!!!
@bethanie0825 - I’ve always thought that would the most interesting job but it seems super hard! Kudos for working so hard at two places to be debt free!
@happysquidmuffin - that’s exactly the way I am….especially when I was doing keto if I went a little over my carbs I just made it a carb load day which usually turned into at least 3 days. 😑😒😣 At least you got out and ran!!! Reading everything you ate made me so hungry for all of it 😂😂😂 Great job starting today off strong!!! You’ve got this!!
@leti126 - I was hoping someone had a good answer for you, and I like all of the suggestions…I needed to hear it too! I try to get in more protein and all I can think is my trail mix but it’s so not low in calories! I’ve been addicted to red apples with Almond Butter and cinnamon sprinkled here lately now that I don’t count carbs anymore but still gets high in calories just like the nuts! I’m the same as Kathy, I usually eat my protein in meals, sometimes in a protein shake but snacks are a hard area. I got very burned out on protein bars early on when I tried keto so I just don’t waste my money anymore. Let me know if you find something else good!!!
@tamevv - I sometimes eat back my calories. I usually only do it as an excuse lol like I can eat more I burned quite a bit today!!! 🤦🏽♀️ Fortunately for me though I’m not as hungry on really active days! 3 days a week sounds like the perfect balance! Glad this week is going better for you!!
@megnolia82 - congrats on first and logging another loss this week is awesome!!! Keep at it!
@laurelfit57 - so sorry you’ve been dealing with that back injury and not getting rest. My mom doesn’t sleep hardly any at all and staying with her I understand how hard that must be. I hope you are indeed on the road to recovery!
@vegan4lyfe2012 - why was it so easy to fall so far behind so quickly this week!? 😂😂😂 I’m glad I wasn’t the only one!! I’ve been trying for two days to catch up! Happy Birthday to your son!
@FushiaKat - I’ve always thought I would be terrified to see ash falling 😩😩😩 I’m happy you’re enjoying your new computer and your meds are working!!! You’re doing so well staying on track!
Great weigh ins to all y’all who had losses!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼1 -
Ugh. I was at a training today, and one of the organizers got a photo of me that ended up on twitter. I can’t believe how big I look. I was at a point I feel pretty good leaving the house in the morning, but I honestly look horrendous in the picture. I’m mortified
I know I have a long way to go, but it really solidifies just how far that is. 2 -
@trooworld I hate missing the posts so I'm making a conscious effort to make time for this group.
@Katmary71 lol I'm trying to get back to those days. I loved that when I came back that the step challenge was still active. I like competition.
@shaunarlr83 I always tell people it's the most interesting monotonous job ever. The callers change but the stories are usually similar. We do not take EMS or Fire calls at my agency, those get transferred to the larger center so it's a lot less work than I did at my first center. My trainee is doing well and I'm super pleased.

Hi everyone, I finally caved to the cravings and had a run-in with the pantry last night. It wasn’t devastating but means I’m a day behind on my usual low calorie days so might struggle to meet my 3 per week goal 😔. I’m disappointed about that, but the week is not over yet and if I can stay strong it’s doable, just means I will need to be strict on my day off when I usually allow myself to enjoy a little extra while I’m on my own in my peaceful place.
Anyway, hope everyone has a good day 👋4 -

@trooworld YAY good for you walking in the heat! The month of August we had a heat wave here (most days between 90 to 100°), I don’t know how you do it!
@vegan4lyfe2012 how lovely that your son’s new wife called to ask for your advice! Sounds like you must have a good relationship with her❤️. That birthday spread looks delicious LOL!
@Fushiakat good for you for being on track to hit goal by the end of the year! The thought of starting out a new year goal is very exciting🎉
@shaunarir83 thanks so much, I am a chronic non sleeper but sometimes I can get in a good space where I can get 5.5-6 hrs/night and I am on cloud 9! Unfortunately, this is not one of those times. It will get better though, it always does eventually :-) :-)
@megnolia82 that can be so frustrating when we see pictures like that, most times is worse because it’s taken at a bad angle. Just remember how far you have come, and what an amazing job that you have done!
@Tamevv The call of the pantry… Sometimes it is very loud! You’ve got this, just stay strong to finish out your week strong :-).
I am back to basics this week, just taking everything one day at a time. Yesterday was a good day staying on track, today I stayed within my limits as well. I am trying to get back to very planned and intentional eating. I got the go ahead from my Physio yesterday to go to my barbell class today, which was very exciting! I wasn’t allowed to use any weights, just go through all the motions to see if anything hurt. I felt a little silly, but many of the exercises included doing squats or lunges, where I just did kind of baby squats and baby lunges, but it’s a start!
Feels good to be getting back on track again, which includes not only reading the posts, but actually posting. It’s amazing what a little bit of sleep can do for a person4 -
***This didn't post yesterday, not sure why but since I replied to everyone I wanted to post it again (or for the first time, totally confused now)
@barbylucedistelle I get feeling defeated, that was a lot of challenges in a row but it's the long-term that matters, I think this is where we've all thrown in the towel before once we feel defeated instead of brushing the dust off and getting back to it as fast as possible. It was one week, you've got this! Once you get another good day behind you it's easier too.
@trooworld That's so frustrating about the medication, did you try the company for possible discounts or Goodrx? I had a friend tell me about Good RX when I was having trouble getting Lyrica covered by my insurance and it would be $400 through CVS or with the coupon going through Costco about $30. I was surprised at the difference in that, it's pretty crazy. I want to see dog photo shoot pictures!
@Tamevv Way to go on coming in under! It's amazing how hard it can be sometimes but it always helps to have these days behind us to show us we've done it before.
@laurelfit57 I'm happy you're getting a little better sleep, it goes a long way into hurting less and staying more positive. I'm glad you can still do spin and glad you're on the way to recovery, that's great!
Hi team, happy Monday! Today was Meatless Monday, I made Pioneer Woman's Grilled Vegetable Enchiladas and my tortillas were too small and there weren't enough so I dumped everything over the top of the loaded tortillas and baked it (over half the filling was leftover) and called it deconstructed enchiladas. It was still good but looked pretty weird! Did my workout and planted all my fall veggies and did some work. Have a great Tuesday! I'm going to try to go to the farm tomorrow, I'll decide for sure in the morning.3 -
@shaunarlr83 I do have a good scale. It tells me everything, weight, BMI, body fat %, water weight, bone weight, muscle weight and I think something else but I cannot remember. I also use it in the same exact place.2
-
@shaunarlr83 Prayers your Mom's knee replacement goes well and she's in as little pain as possible!
@trooworld Way to go on walking, getting back in the groove!
@happysquidmuffin Love your post, you're starting Tuesday off on fire with that run, get it girl and be awesome! There just HAS to be a cotton-headed ninny-muggins in every group, right?! Hope it's not you!
@vegan4lyfe2012 I don't think I have seen X, I'll have to check it out. Enjoy the movie! I hope you share your list again, I need to copy it to check them out, I'd saved it last year and watched a few.
Happy birthday to your son! He looks happy in the picture! I'm sure you helping his wife make his day special meant a lot to her to be able to ask for your help and to him if he knows about it.
@FushiaKat I'm so glad the blood pressure medication is working out. Good luck with the CT scan. Do you like jicama? That's a tasty good vegetable (I'm pretty sure it's a veggie!) if you haven't tried it yet. I love radishes, one of my newer discoveries when I started eating healthier as I didn't eat them before.
@shaunarlr83 If you liked Karate Kid you'll love Cobra Kai. Thank you, I'm glad to hear your hysterectomy went well, that's how I feel now, I really fantasize about smashing my ovaries with a sledgehammer! Doing a little better today thank goodness, thank you.
@megnolia82 Oh no, I hate unflattering pictures, huge hug!
@bethanie0825 I'm glad the step competition is still going for you too, you're doing great!
@Tamevv Just do your best, you got this!
@laurelfit57 Woot woot, glad you're back in the barbell class! It may not be what you were doing a few weeks ago but it's more than you've been able to do and you're back on the attack!
You're going to get slammed with two days of posts from me, it must've just saved instead of posted yesterday. I made it to the farm this morning, it was just what I needed. The basil went crazy in the heat wave, I only got one row done and have another full one to do on Saturday. I did my weights when I got home and stretching then had leftover vegetable enchiladas for lunch then made the Caprese skillet from Skinnytaste for dinner that I made a few weeks ago when Bill was here, that's a great summer recipe and I have a lot of basil to use up so it made a dent in it. Have a great Wednesday team!3 -
Hi! I'm back!
MIL did not have as much junk as she usually does. However, both sets of parents are getting older and they cook less, so ate out many more times than we usually do. A lot of rain meant we only got one walk in. The scale was not as bad as I thought it would be today. Tomorrow my daughter arrives for more partying.

Good morning Team! I’m not even going to try to post to you all, but I did go back and read the last several pages to catch up. Life has been busy and I just haven’t had much energy to do anything other than keep my head above water. But I’m also working on prioritizing what is important and what is not and this group is important to me. Soooo I honestly plan to do my best to stay connected much more frequently. I’m also really working hard to get back on track with my dieting. I am leading a challenge at TOPS so hopefully, it will keep me mindful and I can stop maintaining my weight when I’m NOT at all where I want to be. My sister has lost 20 lbs. to my 2 lbs. I’m super proud of her, but I also want to be proud of myself! OK, I’m off to workout and I promise to do personals tomorrow!

@megnolia82 - I think many of us feel that way when our picture is taken by someone else. For years I wouldn’t let my husband post pictures of me unless they’re cropped and edited and pre approved 😂 One thing I have been working on is not being ashamed bc I realized that is how everyone sees me with their eyes anyways. People see us and accept us for who we are so we need to be a bit more accepting of ourselves. We can want to change what they see and yes it’s hard and seems like it will take forever, just make the most of your journey! We’re all on one!
@bethanie0825 - I’m glad she is doing well!! I can see it being that way! My daughter is in admittance for the county hospital ER. She doesn’t act like it’s as exciting as I would have imagined it could be 😂😂😂
@Cornanda - Welcome back!!!
Thanks for the caring thoughts for my mom. On the first knee she had zero knee pain but felt pain in her leg where the tourniquet was, this time all pain is in the actual knee. She is doing well with recovery though, she’s a bit impatient with the nurses and doing things without them. We will get to leave here in the next 2-3 hours, it’s an hour drive back to her house. I’m getting a migraine and all I want to do is swap my daughter back vehicles (mom couldn’t get down into my low car) and go home and sleep but she’s already asking me to do some things before I leave her. I am glad I’m able to be helping and thankful I still have my mom and we are as close as we are but she has 3 other kids!!!! 😳 Not one of them even bothered to come see her at the last 3 surgeries she has had, they all live within 3 miles of her, one right next door and I live 45 miles away. Still I’m the one she gives a guilt trip too when I have other things to do. It’s frustrating. Sorry needed to vent lol!
On my daily goals I’ve kept up with my watch rings, almost halfway through my perfect month, so I’ve been getting in my exercise, burning calories and moving!!! I’ve also kept up with my water goals 14 cups a day!!! This has been my saving grace helping me flush out when I eat like crap or overeat! I’ve done 6 Beachbody workouts, 6 outdoor walks, 2 treadmill walks, and one hike this month so far. I was also keeping up with my daily challenges from my BBCoach until this week, either tonight or tomorrow I will combine all the days I missed (just two or three moves each day and fairly low reps) into one full workout to catch back up. I did stop doing my standing push ups/squats challenge when I remembered her daily challenge bc I was getting tons of squats in doing other things. I really like the Start Losing with Jen Widerstrom program. I think I will redo the first 4 sweat days this week before I move onto her sculpting work! I made some tracking calendars for keeping up with all of this and my steps so I’ll get my laptop going and post those here before the end of the month!
I still have tons of work to do at home so hoping to jump back into that full force tomorrow and see how much I can get done before we leave again since we are having to wait on a mechanic to fix some things before we go!!
I ordered some new hiking boots last night, I’m so excited to get them and try them out. I’m also thinking of buying a pair of hiking shoes for easy trails!
4 -
@laurelfit57 – Yes, his wife and I have a good relationship. I actually introduced them We chatted for over 2 hours the other night talking about everything and anything. So glad you’re able to ease back into your exercises!
@megnolia82 – Hugs. I had the same thing happen to me. I just happened upon a photo on facebook that a coworker posted (because a mutual friend was tagged). I couldn’t believe how big I was in it. Devastating. I give myself 5 minutes to be disgusted/sad/embarrassed but then I turn those feelings into determination to change.
@Katmary71 – LOL on the deconstructed enchiladas. I do that all the time when I make my stuffed poblanos Instead of worry about stuffing them, I cut them up and mix it all together. I’ll start working on my movie list and I’ll be sure to share it with you
@TeresaW1020 – Hugs Hugs and more Hugs!
@shaunarlr83 – I feel your frustration with your siblings. My sister lives about 45 minutes from our mother, but I’m still the one that does everything. Literally. Like my sister only comes down to visit my mom a couple times a year and calls maybe once a month. And that’s just a word-vomit of everything going on in HER life…not asking about my mom or anyone else in the family. My mom also has a really bad habit of saying *kitten* things about me in front of other people because she thinks she’ll get a laugh from them. I called her out on it this past Sunday when we went to dinner with 8 other people from church. I asked her why she has to say such mean things about me, IN FRONT OF ME, to people. One of the other ladies (my age) mouthed to me that her mom treats her the same way. What is it with people in their late 70s? It’s just mean. I told my mom if she kept it up, I was going to leave and let her deal with my sister instead. Then she tries to get tears in her eyes like I hurt HER feelings. Such a manipulator. Sorry…rant over. Just feeling your pain…
Well, things are starting to quiet down. I’m going to work on my 31 Nights of Halloween horror movie list. I try to do a good mix of my faves with new ones. I am thinking of doing a themed list this year – each movie would be a different genre. Like one slasher, one alien, one body horror, etc. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know.
Feeling positive today. Think I’ll go for a walk. So glad it’s cooling off here now.
50x50 & NO ZERO DAYS!

@vegan4lyfe2012 What do you watch movies on!? I’ll try to think of some random good ones later tonight, I like scary movies and I’ve seen a ton, just horrible at remembering them all!2
-
@shaunarlr83 - I have over 1800 physical movies plus I use streaming (the free ones plus Netflix, Prime & Hulu). I worked hard on my list all day and this is what I have, although I'll still take all recommendations because I watch horror movies all year long Side note - the ones that say "me" are ones I own (most I haven't watched yet) but a lot are also available on streaming sites.
Tagging @Katmary71 and @trooworld since you two like horror, too!
5 -
@Cornanda Welcome back Lisa! Glad the scale wasn't too bad, have fun with the daughter!
@trooworld I hope the Metformin works! I was on a low dose for diabetes and can't really say if it helped or not. I hope it works for you! It seems like it did for my Dad. Yay on no zero days!
@TeresaW1020 What challenge are you leading at TOPS if you're ok to say? I think that's great you're taking charge of a challenge! I'm proud of your sister too but don't knock yourself for losing, I know it's hard not to compare but you're still headed the right way.
@shaunarlr83 I'm glad your Mom seems to be doing well, sounds frustrating with your siblings. Having been the one recovering having a helper means so much even if you don't always show it. Way to go on getting those rings and staying hydrated! Beach Body sounds like a lot of fun, I think you're doing great with all you have going on and helping your Mom, keep up the great work!
@vegan4lyfe2012 Mother/daughter relationships are so hard, I was shaking my head at your experience with your Mom. Mine can be pretty hurtful too, I try to keep my feelings out of our relationship but it's pretty hard sometimes. Luckily I'm close with everyone else in my family. Can't wait to see the horror movie list! Speaking of did I see a new Conjouring coming out or was that my imagination? Let's see, out of Stephen King The Shining, Misery, and Cujo were all pretty good. The newer IT part one and two is so much better than the horrible TV mini-series of it. Of older movies Amityville creeped me out. Poltergeist was good, haven't seen that in ages. I liked the Conjouring movies for sure. I'm actually surprised none of Brian Lumley's have made it to movies as far as I know, he's a really good writer and the Necroscope series would be good turned into movies. I'm sure you've seen The Entity, that one I had nightmares from and I never have nightmares from movies! Thank you for the list, I saved it to Pinterest and I'll check it out after I post this!
Hi gang! Did my workout this morning, legs are always a tough day but I'm managing to keep it up, I just never look forward to making them hurt more though having more strength is important to me. Not much else going on, did some work, read, and spent some time in the yard. Have an awesome Thursday!3 -
@vegan4lyfe2012 I actually haven't seen most of those, I'm excited!

@katmary71 I had the same problem of one of my posts not posting day before yesterday🤪
Where on earth do you live that you can plant veggies in the fall?
I did feel a little silly in barbell class using absolutely no weights, but it’s a start lol! your Caprese skillet sounds delicious!
@Cornanda sounds like you are having some absolutely wonderful family time!
@Trooworld yay for you and no zero days! you should be so proud of yourself getting walks in, in the heat! I bow down to you!
@TeresaW1020 sounds like you have been super super busy, maintaining is not a bad thing under those circumstances!
@Shaunarlr my brother had both of his knees replaced and I remember on one of his knees he said it was extremely painful. Many good wishes for your mom❤️. Sounds like you may be like me, we are called the sandwich generation. Helping to look after our parents and being supportive of our kids (mine are very adult kids lol), we are right in the middle. Sounds like you are doing great with keeping up on your water, exercise and food! Good for you.
@vegan4lyfe glad things are starting to quiet down for you. That 31 nights of Halloween horror movie list sounds like fun!
It was a good day today, I was able to stay on track again. Sometimes, for me, one day at a time is the best way to go! I am pretty stiff from class yesterday, but will go tomorrow and try again, still not using any weights, then next week, slowly I will get back into weights.
I went to agility class with Vannie tonight and my instructor couldn’t believe how much better I was moving. Vannie moves so dang fast, I have had to teach her to work ahead of me, there is no way I can keep up🤣2 -
Hi everyone, feels like I’ve missed heaps and I’m sorry but not going to be able to respond to everyone, but it is awesome to see so many people plugging away here.
A quick skim read tells me someone mentioned radishes which I’d forgotten how much I enjoy so they are now on the shopping list. I also bought some Turkey slices and wrapped them in lettuce leaves for lunch today, so thanks for that tip also.
And I did notice @trooworld you’re doing well with both water and meditation- fantastic work 👍
I’ve been hungry today so probably won’t meet calorie goal but I’ve had good, healthy, nutritious stuff (except two squares of dark chocolate which I am really relishing and does leave me satisfied which I find surprising but there you go).
Weigh in for me tomorrow. Sleep tight everyone.3 -
Radishes- my SIL told me she like radish sandwiches- bread/butter/radish. Not sure if that sounds good.
@laurelfit57 - glad to see you back here!
@TeresaW1020 - did I miss Joe's biopsy results? Hope that came out OK.
I've been realizing that when I find work a bit stressful or boring I wander around looking for something to eat. Gonna have to work on that one. I'm happy I haven't gained this year, but I need to make some progress on losing before the year is over. We took a family pic while on vacation and I didn't like how I looked either.

@shaunarlr83 I hope your mom has a quick recovery. You are a good daughter and shame on your siblings for not helping you and her! I am sure that it’s frustrating and hurtful. Great job on your goal to have a perfect month. So do we now share the same BB coach?
@vegan4lyfe2012 Thanks for those hugs, girlfriend! You and your horror movies! I admire your list and wow 1800 movies is incredible! Looking over that list of yours and I don’t think I would want to watch any of them. I hate being scared because it causes me too much stress for these poor people! 
@Katmary71 I’m really not comparing myself to my sister because she came having quite a bit more weight to lose than I had. I really admire her dedication and need to follow her example. Plus, I don’t want her to pass me by! The challenge is called Fall into Health and it will focus on losing weight, physical activity, keeping a food diary, and staying for the meeting. I made this cute posterboard with a big tree with empty branches and I got all these cute shiny fall leaves, pumpkins, and acorns (it’s actually tabletop confetti) For each completed item, the person will get to put a decoration on our tree. The goal is to let the weight FALL from our bodies while together we create a beautiful fall tree. We are a very corny group so they loved it!
@laurelfit57 I’m just getting back to my workouts after a back injury, which I’m still nursing along but determined to exercise. We just have to take it easy and moderate when needed. Yeah, I bet you can’t keep up with Vannie!
@Tamevv Hey, it’s great to see you here! I love radishes too. Have you ever tried roasting them? They are so good and a great sub for roasted potatoes.
@Cornanda OK ewww on the radish sandwich! Yeah, I have the same wandering issue when I get stressed. We just gotta find other outlets for our stress than tasty food! I will update about Joe below. Thanks for asking.
Good morning! I decided to get on here first thing before my day gets busy. My sister and I are going out today to try to find her some clothes since she has lost almost 30 lbs since moving here. And of course, if I see anything cute for myself, it just might end up in my cart!
We also have to run to Sam's for the church. We are having another potluck on Sunday and need supplies. I was asked about hubby’s bone marrow biopsy results, and unfortunately, we didn’t get any. The oncologist, who is the best in his field is stumped as to what is causing the anemia. The biopsy results were inclusive and they may have to repeat it. First, he took a bunch more blood and is running new tests. We will go back next Tuesday. I admit that I’m worried that it’s something scary and just really praying it’s not. Mostly we just want some answers! 
OK, I need to go do a quick workout and then get my retail therapy on! Have a great day.
