@GabiV125 - literally all I watch is Netflix, I find myself watching the same show or old movies on repeat, every once in a while I’ll dive into a great documentary or a series that everyone is talking about but I usually just binge watch and then that’s over 😂 Great weigh in!!
@Katmary71 - we just got out of Texas probably won’t be getting up there until Sunday night in the middle of the night before we need to unload. I don’t often get to get out and do much in California. Finding places we can go in this huge truck isn’t always easy. If it looks like we will be staying put and I’ll have some down time I’ll see what there is to do in the vicinity. I’ll ask today exactly where. I’m sure it’s another town entirely, he just said “North of Sac” not how far 😂 I’m definitely needing to do something with my hair!! Hope your hair appointment was good and those stronger meds let you get some sleep!
@Cornanda - great job throwing away food!
@trooworld - I’m very familiar with much of your state, been going there for 14 years!!! My honeymoon was a road trip down hwy 1 🥰 My first instinct was to ask how you haven’t explored your own state but I have lived in Oklahoma my whole life and still hear of towns I’ve never heard of and have no clue where they are 😂 I’m so happy your NOT working today, great job hitting those goals amidst the stress, and I hate that the scale didn’t reward you for all of your efforts!!
@DrewsAnna - Great weigh in!!! I saw you working hard!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 My watch will tell me stuff like that too but I never figured out how to set it up correctly! I bet your dr. will give you a great report and tell you to keep at it!
@Tamevv - when I was really into jogging I had a legit fear of tripping and then one day I did!!!! 😣☹️ Luckily it didn’t stop me at that point but I do think it causes some lasting damage. Great job walking in the rain. It’s rainy here and I’m thinking about get out in it. I often wonder why people let rain stop them from doing so much. I’ve watched my kids play sports in the rain, and everyone always talks about dancing in the rain! Some days it can be quite enjoyable if you just get out there. Of course it isn’t always ideal and we would rather stay dry but you can’t just let it keep you trapped inside!!
@laurelfit57 - I’m so happy for you that you was able to get back to your classes!! I usually eat back my calories but try to stay under, some days I don’t and I feel like I’ve really accomplished something 😂
@TeresaW1020 - Great weigh in! I hope things slow down for you!
@Ftofit - I’m glad you enjoyed yourself at the festivals, I’m sure that will flush out quickly with plenty of water! Don’t give up your still doing great!!
I had a pretty stressful day yesterday, didn’t do my Beachbody workout or daily challenge but got a lot of movement in to hit my goals. I actually took a nap, just to ease my mind from worry and we drove most of the night. I laid down about an hour before he stopped driving and woke up in New Mexico, down on the border. I think he plans on staying here most of the day and we will do laundry. There is a really cool looking old war plane museum up the road I might go check out later. We stopped and ate BBQ again!! 😂 It’s definitely my favorite and something I never turn down no matter how great my diet is going, 3 days of potato salad and bread has my joints inflamed! I’m sticking to my fasting hours remarkably well and staying near goal on calories. Still, I will be much more mindful of my food choices over the weekend and have another good weigh in!
For those who are curious yea most days we sleep in the truck. We do get out and get a room every few days to stretch out and relax a bit more. It’s a twin size bed so not the most comfortable sleep but he got a brand new mattress a few months back and it’s better than my bed at home 😂 The front is a regular truck the back has cabinets and cubbies to store all the stuff I bring from home and we have a small fridge and microwave so it’s kinda like RV living just much more confined and we work and make money wherever we go! It has always felt like a mini vacation for me to go with him but I do wish scheduling and access to more things to do were easier to come by.
I hope everyone has a lovely weekend!! Thank you all for being such great support!4 -
@trooworld yay yay yay! So glad you were able to take the day off! Day off with no plans is a fantastic day! Ugh so sorry about the gain, sometimes our bodies just do whatever they do. Or we can have a scale that is acting up that week LOL!
@shaunarir83 it has got to be challenging on the road with food! You really are doing so well. It sounds like the two of you are very cosy :-).
Super challenging day today. I believe I overdid it yesterday, I was walking like Hop Along Cassidy today:/, my hip is certainly giving me grief. Honestly the gym workouts aren’t typically hard on me if I am doing OK, it is the walking that can be challenging as I believe it is more jarring. The weather has just been so beautiful here, in the 70s! It is never like this in October so I really want to take it vantage of every moment. I didn’t do too much today though, but I did eat a lot of unexpected cookies! I have a cousin who makes cabbage rolls and I went out to her place to pick some up for Thanksgiving dinner. Unfortunately she is in the beginning stages of dementia and is having problems with her memory and emotions. She kept giving me these cookies that she has been making the last few years (they are not my favorite, peanut butter bacon). She would forget she had already offered me a cookie and I had eaten it and would offer once again, if I said anything she would become quite upset. Well I ate about a dozen of those cookies before I was able to leave. My stomach is pretty topsie turvy tonight.
I think I will cancel out of my gym classes tomorrow morning and just do house work and get some cooking started for Thanksgiving dinner on Monday :-).2 -
@trooworld Thank you for the bread recipes, they sound so good. I had a beer bread mix in my Christmas stocking and that's what started me making the different breads, so good! Hey did you see on Prime video My Best Friend's Exorcism came out? I think you recommended that one to me but am not 100% on it, I may watch it tonight.
@Cornanda Thank you! The work celebration sounds fun, it feels weird being around people again afte the last few years still but I'm glad you all were able to get together.
@DrewsAnna Have a great walk today, I'm sure your best buddy will appreciate it! I hope the Fitbit is incorrect about irregular heart rhythms.
@Tamevv That's so tough when there's things going on trying get decent sleep around it especially if you already have sleep issues. I hope you get some decent sleep tonight.
@Laurelfit57 That's the funniest thing I've pictured all day imagining Vannie on your head when you're in pigeon pose! I saw a video of a woman planking and a dog ran under her and his head popped out the neck of her oversized tee shirt that was hanging down, too funny. Wow you had a seriously great day! I used to have my Fitbit synced here but it overestimated everything and I went through two in a year so it could also be that they were faulty but I gained weight eating as it said.
@TeresaW1020 Great to see you!
@GabiV125 sounds like a long shower for both you and the dog, it's hard not to get soaked washing them!
@trooworld I woke up this morning and after not being on last night I was wondering if you were off today! So glad you were able to take it off. Hope you had fun at Tjs and scored some goodies! I honestly think sometimes things DON'T make sense, weight loss is pretty frustrrating sometimes.
@Ftofit you may go down a little the few days after the festivals, the extra food and sodium can cause temporary weight gain. Hope you had fun!
@shaunarlr83 Hopefully if you're outside of Sacramento you won't get in Aftershock traffic, it's a 4 day rock/metal festival going on Th-Sun but it's actually IN Sacramento. The truck would definitely cause some issues, if you'd been toward Placerville I was going to suggest Apple Hill but parking would probably be a pain. You're coming at a good time, upper 80s so it's not unbearable right now. Yum the food sounds awesome but like you I feel it when I eat out. I remember telling you about my friend who was a bookkeeper and decided she missed her husband too much when he traveled so when her son was an adult she got her license and they drove together. When I met her we moderated a pain group together and her husband had died but she always talked about how much fun they had together before he passed away. I'm probably viewing things with you through rose-colored glasses from her stories!
Think I'm all caught up, I love our group! I had my hair done yesterday and skipped the cut so I could leave earlier then didn't go to the charity meeting. I mostly stayed around the house resting today, not sure if I'll make it to the food bank farm tomorrow but if I do I'll just do basil so I don't have to move much. I started working out this morning but am too flared up so I did some light stretching and finished my book instead. Have a great Saturday everyone!

Hey everyone… sorry for a crappy week on my end. I’ve been in bed for 4 days with some bad flu or cold or maybe covid. Really hoping to start feeling better soon.
I’ll try to catch up on posts and I’ll be back for weigh in tomorrow.3 -
@DrewsAnna - Hope you get the pacemaker thing figured out. A spiderman star blanket is SO creative!
@Tamevv - those star blankets are gorgeous! Never seen that pattern. I'm kinda with @laurelfit57 - I like the simple ones- if I have to concentrate too much, I quit working on them. When my kids were little I switched to making baby blankets because they got done quicker and that was good motivation for me.
@laurelfit57 - My job is going pretty well and I really like my coworkers. Hope your hip feels better quickly- sounds painful. Happy Thanksgiving!
@TeresaW1020 - taking time to work on your health goals is very important. We'll be ready to hear your news when you have a min. Nice loss this week!
@GabiV125 - hope the "unmustification" of your dog was successful!
@trooworld - hugs on your gain.... now you get right back to your healthy habits and put it behind you. Glad you got your day off- sounds nice!
@shaunarlr1983 - sounds like being on the road is fun for both food and fun places to work out. You are being very intentional in working your plan- you impress me!
@Katmary71 - you keep resting up until that dang flare goes away.
Here are my fall challenge goals: (I always have to think about these things so long and now 1/4 of the challenge time is over with!) I'm going to run my challenge through Thanksgiving because I want to be in a good place when the holiday season begins.
1. work my food plan- especially! Follow the food plan even when no one is looking. And don't let "weekend eating" stretch into multiple days.
2. Work my exercise plan- especially! Get moving in the morning so I have time to get my plan completed.
I'm going to make myself a pretty chart and keep track of my progress.
Happy Saturday!
Lisa

Yesterday there was a 5k, 10k, half marathon and a full marathon in my town. I walked a few houses down and watched all the runners come by I did my best to clamp and encourage them.
Some of you may know I used to run. That how I started my weight loss journey. While I was encouraged them it stirred me up. My plan is to run in the marathon next year. I'm excited.4 -

Hi everyone. Super quick check in to say hello 😁👋. My busiest days are done and the sun is shining but I decided to skip my workout this morning and relax. I’ll take a walk later but for now am enjoying coffee and sun and bird noises. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.2

@trooworld I'm glad to hear your friend liked My Best Friend's Exorcism, it had mixed reviews so I hadn't seen it yet but I will soon hearing this. Unexpected cheddar is the best, I just tried it a few months ago. Let me know how the cranberry one is!
@megnolia82 I hope you feel better soon, take care my friend.
@Cornanda Great goals and I love the memes!
@19shmoo69 I'm glad you went out and cheered on the runners, so next year you'll be in the mix too, yay! This goal may be just what you need Darren!
@shaunarlr83 @GabiV125 @laurelfit57 Congratulations!
@Tamevv Sounds like a perfect morning to relax and enjoy and be in the moment.
Hi awesome teammates! I was grumpy yesterday so I didn't want to check in and spent most of the day on the couch or in bed watching TV (Midnight Club and Worst Roommate Ever) and reading an urban fantasy book. I'm a little better at least mentally today, I did a short chair cardio/weights/stretching workout then made the HOA meeting sign and took it to the mailbox, typed up charity board minutes, and got a few other things done and caught up on email. My feet are still really bad so walking is tough. Bill's coming to visit on Thursday so need to straighten up the house, I've let it go the last couple weeks so I have my work cut out for me. I remember mentioning about the Jasper/Asher issues, I got a Feliway diffuser and Jasper hasn't been mean to Asher since, just the usual chasing each other and play fighting thank goodness. That thing is like a miracle worker, I'm so grateful! Time for a new week, have a great Monday!1 -

@19shmoo69 - Way to get that scale moving back the way you want it to go!!! Great loss! I’m glad you’ve got a stirring again!!! Great goal!!!
@trooworld - my uncle started having knee pain a few months back. He really didn’t want surgery so he tried a Dr. that does non surgical knee repair of some sort anyways he told him his insurance would t allow him to do anything unless he went to physical therapy first, that 2 weeks of physical therapy somehow healed his knee pain altogether. I think I’m gonna have him show me what they had him do. My knees are starting to hurt from sitting so many hours on the road. I’m sure you’ve said before but maybe before I was here or I missed it. What kind of dog do you have!? I have a 4 lb Chihuahua she does good walking but she’s so little I just carry her lol I actually took her on a hike back in August, in a carrying bag. She loved it and it was easier than I imagined it would be.
@tamevv - Hi Tam!!! I wish I was enjoying a morning like yours!!
@Katmary71 - I was in a mood yesterday also. No rhyme or reason for it lol I ate some Chinese takeout and went back to bed. Woke up better 😉
@Jactop - nice loss!!
Can’t ever make plans! 😰😰😰 2 hours from our delivery we got hung up on some train tracks. No huge train versus truck disaster or anything like that but there was some damage to the truck we was hauling and the trailer is probably totaled. Nothing happened to us or our truck but we are kinda left in limbo on what we will do now. I was sure hoping I would be hiking right now. There are trails right next to where we were supposed to be unloading. ☹️ I’ve been awake since 5:45pm when I woke up from my nap. That was also the last time I ate. Might get some sleep and do my weigh in somewhere when I get back up. Incident occurred at 3 am and we are just now at the wrecker yard (7:15am now) We can leave here soon and go find a place to rest and figure out what happens now.

Good morning! Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians
I don’t think I ever made a proper introductory post since October has been a real washout of a month so far. Hopefully back to work tomorrow after being home sick for a week.
I’ve always been overweight but I carried it well and kept fit and active. The last 30 pounds of so I just can’t hide it. I’m sluggish and unfit. I physically don’t fit into activities I love.
It’s time to turn around! Here’s to an amazing month for all of us.

**edited to add that Cherry Grove Pier is in the first picture. The beach is totally different then when were there a couple months ago.
The first photo is the house that sits on an inlet in Cherry Grove. The floors are stripped and the drywall is cut down; the insurance adjustor finally got to that house today. The second photo is progress that's been made at the house that's further inland. My bro-in-law decided to go ahead and do the work on it and see what the insurance will reimburse. They were moving in furniture today; I had to go on home since I'm working this evening. Darn, missed all of the heavy lifting.

Good morning Team! Just a quick check-in to let you know I'm still around. I'm reading your posts but have no time to reply right now. Hubby has doctor appointments every day this week and right now I'm on my way to work before taking him to another appointment. We saw our primary yesterday and while there I asked her for a goal weight slip to give to TOPS. She told me that I wasn't obese and just overweight and to stop eating so much and that I would reach my goal. Such a straightforward woman!

I've been eating like a pig I don't know how I lost any weight. Last week was very trying for me. Last Wednesday I got a Flu and Pneumonia Vaccine in my left arm, my arm was really sore, then on Friday CVS pharmacy text me that I was eligible for the next Covid Booster, so I went and got that in my Right arm. I had my eyes checked and I'm getting 2 pair of new glasses, Driver / Reading and Computer / Reading. I'm looking for to the new computer glasses. He told me I need to wear my distance glasses when watching TV at night to ease the eye strain. I've been feeling pretty crummy but getting better day by day. My arm is no longer sore, but I have Covid Booster brain. I'm forgetting things all the time.
Its Halloween on my game and I'm trying to build a contest room but it's so difficult. I have started over 4 times already.
I changed my Health Insurance October 1st, so I'm dealing with a new referral to a sleep doctor. He was the only doctor I had to change. I'm sad about that. I just called the doctor's office, and I can just pay cash for my annual follow-up visits as an option. I would be happier doing that.
I need to find a gift for my husband for our 33rd wedding anniversary on Dec 10th. Every year I give him $100 for each year we've been married, he loves it! One year I gave him all $2.00 bills, ha-ha. I got a new box to put the money in too. I need an anniversary card too. I guess I will be doing some shopping.
I don't know why I'm not more motivated to post here more often, I don't really have a lot of changes to my day-to-day life. I need to sign my husband up for Medicare effective at the beginning of the year.
Take care and I'll talk to you next week.4
