I’ll take that minuscule loss! I went off plan 2-3 times this week and was expecting a gain, so I’ll take my 0.2 loss and run with it 😆

I might be retaining a little water as I had another active week and was good about nutrition, all except for last night when my youngest and I had a little celebration together over a school achievement.
I'm really looking forward to the weekend, hope everyone is keeping well!

I’m in Boston helping a family member transition through another phase of treatment for an eating disorder and depression. We started with 5 weeks of residential care, then moved to a partial hospitalization program (i.e., an intensive outpatient program 7 days per week with only one evening meal, one breakfast, and some day passes per week). This last ‘step down’ phase lasted about a month. So, I’ve been learning a lot over the past 9 weeks.
Now, there is a special program designed for mood and anxiety support three days per week, while the participants bridge back to a more typical daily routine with the help of a mentor. So, there is more independent decision making about how to spend time and there are also responsibilities that go along with the increased independence — like laundry, cooking, waking up on time, and catching public transportation to commute each day.
I also helped my mother with a bunch of household tasks and errands. I filed papers, paid bills, organized her tax documents, etc. My sister is a nurse and provides the most consistent care for our Mom, so I try to shop, maintain her car (which isn’t used much but is important to her), and coordinate with workers that need to be hired for general upkeep. My 3 siblings and I have unique roles, but I live the farthest away. Everyone else lives within a 30-minute car ride but I visit every month or two, and usually cover any longer-term care needs, like if Mom is recovering after surgery or something.
Today, I managed to carve out time from work, and ‘Mom care’ to visit my father-in-law, who has dementia and now needs 24-hour assistance at a memory care facility. We had a wonderful visit. He doesn’t remember much about his current life but we always have lots of fun talking about things he enjoyed— fishing, walking along the beach, Red Sox baseball! We seek moments of joy and there were many today (e.g., savoring a warm cup of coffee, remembering his favorite baseball player, Ted Williams, etc. We can learn so much by focusing on the moment like young children again.
Carpe Diem, Shape Shifters!

@KHill875 - What a beautiful puppy! — Two cuties sitting together. It looks as though they get along!
I’m sorry you didn’t feel well but I’m glad you have your dogs to comfort you!2 -

I attribute a lot of this week’s success from limiting snacking and actually cooking meals. My steroid shot in my knee has helped for the first week so I’ve felt like doing more. But my knee feels a bit worse today; I noticed I started limping before I left the grocery store. I’m hoping that is not a sign of things to come; I was so optimistic after last week’s improvement.5 -

I've been ill all week & have not been out of the house.I really couldn't be bothered to log my food,just wanted to sleep.My son has been "dieting" the last couple of weeks but did say that our scales (which are fairly new) were all over the place.So I'm hoping it's the scales or just that this is what happens when you don't move much 😔
Thankfully I seem to be getting over the infection so hope to get back to my usual routine & catch up with you all.

After two weeks running around the tri-state area and having to eat every meal out, this is a major win for me. End of story: we didn’t find a condo, but we decided to retire to Miami, an area we’ve always been in love with, and a short direct flight to LaGuardia to visit family. We’re very happy and excited!6 -
Sorry I've been MIA.... I'll try to do better in February.
@jessicakrall8 Betty is adorable! Please send me the link to donate!
@PatriceFitnessPal you do have so much on your plate, but you have such a compassionate personality. I know your family appreciates you. I hope they vocalize it!
@nancyinmo A condo in Miami sounds exciting! My cousin bought one there a few years ago and it makes a great escape from the Indiana winter.
My few weeks away were good and bad. On the good side, we had a wonderful weekend at IU with my son. IU BEAT Michigan State in basketball- always fun! and generally had a nice time. Back in Denver, we got to see my daughter try on her wedding dress and she looked amazing! So all well with the two legged children.
Unfortunately, we took Buddy to the vet at CSU in Ft. Collins, Colorado, to discuss the probable new sarcoma, and we opted to do a CT scan before surgery. This showed that his cancer has spread to his lungs and abdomen and possibly his spleen, so removing this new tumor is not going to change the outcome. We probably have a couple months, at best. But, so far, he's still comfortable.
We are going to discuss chemo with his doctor in Texas, but probably are going to opt against it as the treatment series recommended last about 6 months and he is unlikely to live that long.
Here he is enjoying his visit with my daughter. He got up on the couch by himself and is very proud!

Hey there...nice loss this week, but I think you hit the wrong chat thread...This is the Jan chat for Shape Shifters...I took a screenshot and sent to the MODS to investigate in our Captain's Chatroom to find your correct team. Great job this week and I'm making sure it gets to the right team for you. Take care and carry on!
