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 -
@shaunarlr83 @GabiV125 @laurelfit57 Congrats on making it onto the leaderboard! Way to go!
@megnolia82 Congrats on the loss!
@Tamevv That sounds wonderful. I hope you enjoy the day!
@Katmary71 Yeah she said it was "entertaining" so that may be a mixed review lol. She is willing to watch it again, so that says something as well. The cranberry were the crisps: pumpkin cranberry rosemary crisps and they were fabulous with the creamy Toscano cheese (that's not the whole title of the cheese but that's what I remember lol) that was dusted with cinnamon. That was the first time I tried the unexpected cheddar but it won't be the last! I had to look up a Feliway diffuser, I hadn't heard of that. I'm glad that worked. I hope today is a better day for you.
Hi all. I didn't do much of anything yesterday, I did go for a walk in the morning with the dog and the husband but it was short, our dog doesn't like to walk far and we end up carrying her the rest of the way home if we go too far lol.

@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.

@Jactop Congrats on the loss!
@shaunarlr83 Oh interesting. I've been resisting the idea of going to physical therapy because it costs $40 per session but maybe I will try finding some physical therapists' videos on YouTube and try that. Oh, I have a one-eyed pirate Pug! I love little Chihuahuas, they are so cute and tiny! Yeah, our pug is a little chubby (she weighs 20 lbs), so we hate when she can't walk any further because she's sort of hard to carry. I've thought about getting her a stroller and I may do that. Oh gosh, I'm so sorry about the train tracks incident! That is terrible. Does insurance cover stuff like that? I'm glad you guys are okay.
@megnolia82 I wish you the best month!
@Ftofit Yay! What a nice NSV!
@bethanie0825 Oh gosh that is a lot of damage. I hope you guys get reimbursed for the lion's share of it.
@Cornanda How are you?
Hi all. I met my goals yesterday which I am happy about. I am pretracked for the day except for breakfast. Breakfast will be a lowfat cheesestick and yogurt with maybe some clementines. We made one of my favorite semi-healthy meals last night, Low-Carb Roasted Italian Sausage and Sweet Mini Peppers Sheet Pan Meal: https://kalynskitchen.com/roasted-peppers-onions-with-italian-sausage/ I usually use turkey Italian sausage but couldn't find it for last night.

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 -

Hey y'all! Just letting everyone know that I'm still here! I went and got my flu shot & covid booster last week and those made me fell really tired and I sort felt kind of blah. The weather warmed up and brought more wildfire smoke which really messed up my breathing. So, I've been having a rough time.
Happy October, the birthday shenanigans have begun!! There's about 13 or 14 birthdays this month in my family. Saturday is mine and I have a lot of plans.
I'm going to be busy but, I will try and check in more often3 -
@bethanie0825 Oh no, I hope the damage will be covered by insurance. Hugs my friend.
@trooworld I took a screenshot of your Trader Joe's review, thank you! When I tried Unexpected Cheddar I was kicking myself for not trying it before, it's so good! Cheddar with parmesan, of COURSE it is! They have it in a spread now that's getting good reviews. I saw that about the YouTube PTs, Bob and Brad are pretty good as far as physical therapists, I've watched a lot of theirs. Ask DoctorJo is another of people's favorites on there.
@TeresaW1020 Doctors are funny how they react to weight loss. Mine walked in and asked where I went because I used to be such a big girl and said "big girl" 3xs. She's bigger than I used to be so who is she calling big, geez. It's definitely nice not to be in the obese category! Good luck to you and Joe with all the appointments!
@happysquidmuffin Prayers for you and your family, hope things calm down soon. Cortisol LOVES to hold on to weight unfortunately.
@FushiaKat I have to toot the horn for you, Kat's lost over 100lbs now! That's so amazing, congratulations! I was going to reach out to you about my kitties for advice but they've calmed down with the diffuser, thank goodness. Congratulations on 33 years with your husband!
@DrewsAnna Glad to see you, I'm sorry you've been feeling run down from the injections. Boy you have a lot of Scorpios and Sagittarius's in your life! How do you do the parties in October, you would have to group them with that many. My SIL, youngest nephew, and Mother's Day are within two weeks and my SIL has this thing about her birthday being shared with Mother's Day and hating it growing up then she goes and has a baby 6 days before her birthday, I say she did THAT one to herself, getting together three times during the 8th-14th is a lot so we usually have to do two on one weekend and one the other weekend. Sorry I just rambled on you, just can't imagine that many in a row!
Hi gang, think I missed some, I couldn't make it on last night. The pain clinic made changes a week ago and have been resting but kept going downhill and got really bad yesterday, the pain clinic closed at 4 and at 5 the recording for my medical clinic told me all the operators are gone after being on hold for 40 minutes. I couldn't get to the urgent care covered by my insurance 12 miles away as I could barely move my feet, ankles, or knees so I got to the ER a few miles away as fast as I could while I could still lift my feet to drive. I've never frozen up that fast before. I haven't had to go to the ER since I started the pain clinic so I felt like a wuss but the doctor told me I'm the exact patient that makes his day and is easy to help because I'm doing everything right and not coming for pain drugs and did try all the right channels before coming just need something to get inflammation down (steroids). He was saying how broken the medical system is now, there were 42 people in the ER last night and since it took me a year to get in a pain clinic during COVID fighting like a madwoman I fully get it plus going there a lot a couple years ago I saw what the doctors and patients went through in the ERs during COVID and it got pretty crazy. I was there for 3 hours, got my prescription at closing (snuck Ben and Jerry's in too), then came home. Bill's coming Thursday night and we'd planned an Apple Hill trip to check out apple farms and eat apple goodies but that's not happening unless I have a miraculous recovery. Anyhow, looking forward to feeling better soon! Let's have an awesome Wednesday!

@TeresaW1020 Nice to "see" you! I hope Joe is doing well. If it were only that simple to lose weight lol. Yes, straightforward!
@happysquidmuffin I'm so sorry for the dark stuff. I send my best thoughts your way. Hugs.
@FushiaKat Congrats on the loss! Getting close, aren't you? I'm sorry you had side effects from your shots. Good luck with your Halloween room!
@DrewsAnna Sorry for the side effects and the tough breathing. I hope both things get better soon. Happy birthday a bit early! That sounds fun to have so many birthdays in October.
@Katmary71 Yes! I don't know why it took me so long to try it, too lol. Thank you for the YouTube recommendations, I will check them out. I'm sorry you were in so much pain. I'm glad you went to the ER and got help. I think the Ben & Jerry's was well deserved. Hugs.
Hi all. I did well with water yesterday: 70 oz. I also tracked everything. I've got a bit of a headache today, most likely because of weather changes. Hopefully it goes away.

@megnolia82 - I hope we all have a great rest of the month too! It’s flying by so quick. The holiday season always seem to go so fast but here lately life is just flying by in general! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Is thanksgiving in Canada the same as here, just a lot of food??? 😂
@Ftofit - when pictures show progress that is the real win!!!
@bethanie0825 - That is awesome that progress is already being made! I bet that is a ton of work! Still hate this had to happen!
@trooworld - now that you’ve said it directly to me I do remember you talking about your pug!!! 😍 We had several people walk or jog or take their dogs for a walk by us down in Houston and a guy had his old lab in a stroller, she looked so happy to still get to go on walks!!! 🥰 Yes the company insurance will cover the cost of everything, it has been a lot of stress and headache for the hubs and his boss, for me I’ve just been bored and going stir crazy from being stuck in crappy area. I do hope your headache is gone!
@TeresaW1020 - those appointments have to be draining on you both! Hugs! Great job not being obese anymore!!! 😂 I hope to not be obese one day!!!
@happysquidmuffin - I had the same sort of week, I was so proud of my food choices and no loss 😤 maybe next week will be a great shocker for us both!!! Prayers for your fam and I have to say again how cute your hair is!!! 😍
@FushiaKat - it can be hard to keep up, if you just miss a day or two you feel lost and it takes awhile to catch back up but I’m glad you updated. Hate that your week was all no fun health related business and you felt bad. I hope it gets better everyday and take that loss as a win!! You did something right!!! 😉 33 years is a huge feat!!! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!! Your husband is a lucky guy!
@GabiV125 - you did really well this block!!!
@DrewsAnna - I hope you all enjoy your special days. I think all families have a cluster month of birthdays, my families is March but I’m not one of them 😂 hope you’re back to feeling 100% I hope those fires stop and you can enjoy the outdoor activities!
@Katmary71 - I am so sorry you had such a rough time! Hugs my friend. I’m also very sad I didn’t make it far enough North to send you a virtual wave as we passed by. I was really looking forward to it! 💔
@Cornanda - great update! I love to see someone just plugging away!! ☺️☺️☺️
We are getting ready to leave this hotel!!! I’m ready. Let myself get a bit depressed and was eating every crappy thing in walking distance for two days but today I snapped out of it and got in two workouts!!! Made a trip to the grocery store and stocked up on good snacks for the trip home!!2 -
Thanks you guys ❤️ I’m hanging in there. It’s hard. I’m sorry I’m more take than give at the moment. I wish I had time to read everyone else’s updates more closely. I’ll get there again eventually. I hope you all are doing well.3
-
@Cornanda I'm glad you are having a good week. I'm having an okay week. Thank you!
@shaunarlr83 Awww, that's so cute about the old lab! I'm glad insurance will cover everything, I'm sure that's a relief. Sorry you are stuck in a crappy area. I hope you can get out of there soon! My headache is still here ugh.
Hi all. I went to urgent care yesterday for my knee pain as it was pretty bad but it's just a sprain that I made worse by walking on it. So, no walks, no kneeling, no bending for a while yet. My headache is still there ugh.

That's a huge gain and I'm feeling a bit depressed over it. There's been a lot going on and I think the last time I cooked an actual meal.
This weekend is going to be a busy one because Saturday is my birthday and the family is having a big birthday party for all the October birthdays.
Friday night we're going out to dinner with some friends one of who is literally one day older than me. Thankfully, the restaurant is a seafood restaurant.
Sunday hubby and I are going to see Elton John in Tacoma.
It's gonna be a fun weekend and I hope I can have some self control.
Monday, I'm going to try and start getting myself back on track.
I'll try and check in as much as I can. Y'all have a great weekend!!

@Katmary71 Ohh my what a terrible ordeal you had but it sounds like you had a very good ER doctor. I am lifting you up in prayer for that miraculous recovery!
@shaunarlr83 Good for you for snapping out of your depressed mood and getting in two workouts and buying some healthy snacks. That’s the way to turn things around for sure!
@trooworld I’m so sorry you are in such pain from your sprained knee! I know that must hurt like the dickens. And to have a headache on top of it all. (((hugs)))
Hi Team! It’s a beautiful fall day here and I’m loving this cool weather. I can’t wait to be on vacation next week and see all the colorful leaves in the mountains. Today I went and washed my car, got myself an iced coffee from Starbucks, and had a nice visit with a girlfriend who loaned me a suitcase to use for my pillow and fan. I can handle any hotel room as long as I have the two most important items to help me sleep. Well, I will also need a lot of melatonin and some wine too.
I didn’t manage a workout today but plan to get a good one in tomorrow.

Just dropping in to say hi and have a great weekend! Bill's coming tonight so I probably won't be around much, all of our weekend plans are canceled but he still wanted to come despite my not doing well. Guess this will be the true test if he can handle bad times, right? I'm doing some light stretching as I'm real tight from not working out and sitting a lot but not doing the best with food. I'll do my better this weekend and hopefully the steroids will kick in soon so I can get back on track. Thank you for the well wishes.4

Hi all - super stoked with a loss - the first week of my trip I was really good but the last 3 days I let it go a bit and was kind of dreading the scale. Saved by the consistent exercise which I really enjoyed. Also will admit I did my workout *before* weighing this morning so maybe that gave me a few bonus grams 😊.3 -
