    Happy New Year everyone!!!
    I'm new to this challenge on MyFitnessPal. I'm not new to this type of challenge, I used to be on SparkPeople. I hope I remember how to do this!!! Please be patient with me.

    I live in Florida and today was a lovely 74 degrees and sunny. We're expecting rain tomorrow and maybe Sunday.

    I'm ready to get started on this new challenge, I have an April 11th goal and fingers crossed, will make it with everyone's help.
    Thanks,
    Carol

    Hi all

    We are finally back in our house and getting set up. Trying to get back in the swing of things. Doc said it was a very nasty flair up from my gi stuff that caused me to get very ill. You should see me on here regularly and getting back and ready for the challenge.

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Thanks for all the support and suggestions.

    My ex isn't the father of my Son but has been in his life for most of it. I can understand my ex's feelings some what. He hasn't lived with us for many years and the ex has gotten stuck in his ways but I don't consider that a great excuse.

    Anyways this week has been a long one. But so glad to have three days off. Wednesday was the most stressful of them all. I even cried at work. The ex has been sick and has done nothing around the house even when he has been feeling well. Today I went out and got some new bras that were way overdue. So much more comfortable. I am one step closer to freedom as this week I was finally taken off the ex's check. Next step is to figure out my finances so I can cover my expenses and still save money for the move. I can and will do this.

    @Tabatha_Cain ,, WOOHOO on the sales Tabatha!! WTG!! Hope you can find the transport for the client! ENJOY the weekend!! I also walk inside my place. IT's super small and I DO MEAN IT'S SUPER SMALL!! But that builds my legs UP!! Nicer, stronger muscles from the small turns.
    @chansen_2000 ,, Awwww Carol WB!! I remember you easily!! We were both on the Dawggie team for quite awhile! In the time you've not been with us, I'm down to 174!! WOW!! AND WALKING!!! When the Spring Challenge comes if you'd like to be with a team that has half the members from the Dawggie team (through the years) we are Positively Strong 4 Life, if you would like back, I'll warn ya, as it was on Sparks we are team who fills up super fast! Usually in 24 hours. Depending on which team you end up on you'll likely know members from Sparks!! If you are on Shape Shifters if you knew Gouldsgrante (Janey) is now the Captain (was CL) I think you knew Ceri some she's on Gr8ters. So many of us around!! HEY WB!! I STILL get just as Excited as always for SNOW!! Sunday FINALLY we'll have some. We've gone 300 days WITHOUT SNOW in the Greater Portland Maine area!! YO!!
    @Kurtize , NOW I WANT SOME!! We are supposed to get 6 to 10"s we'll see, but WOOHOO FINALLY some coming on SUNDAY is a FUNDAY!! LOL Even more so!! AND the Pats are playing the Jets!! LOL IN DA SNOW!! We laugh so hard at the games as we are WARM!!
    @HeevenleeRose, OH NO!! SO very very sorry!!! WOW!! How fast things can change!! Please let your Captain know if you need any extra considerations. Slowly pick up on exercise and NEVER OH PLEASE ***ALL MEMBERS*** NEVER exercise to the point of pain. Please never put yourself at risk.
    @CSEGUIN2 , YOu are a very strong woman!! If you are at any physical/emotional/etc risk please reachout to the local domestic violence program. They know of fundings to help the victim to secure a safe place. Which can include housing. They are also a great resourse for support and more. We are here with you, but have seen through the years how strong you really are. Resilience is a word I'd use for you if I could choose only one word.

    "The Ketogenic Mediterranean Diet" by Robert Santos-Prowse, MS, RD
    This book explains the validity and success of this combination. I highly recommend it. Let me know what you think.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Saturday. We are quite busy today. We will be taking one of my dogs to the vet, Joe has bloodwork to get done today, and we are going to be starting to pack up my son's things. He is now living with his boyfriend and although they don't have room for all of my son's things my son ok'd me packing his stuff up and storing it in his old bedroom. Which he still stays in on ocassion when I am away and he is here with the dogs. I am also going to try and get some decent exercise in today.

    @macrat12 - So then those are stretching and stuff days? How many miles have you walked just since the 1st of the month?
    @chansen_2000 - Welcome. I am sure you will reach your goal by April. I too have been with these challenges since SparkPeople.
    @Kurtize - I think we are suppose to get some snow this weekend, but also a major storm Tuesday and Wednesday this coming week. Love the photos.
    @HeevenleeRose - I am so glad you are doing better. My husband has gut issues also.
    @CSEGUIN2 - So glad you are getting things taken care of. It will definitely help with the sanity of the situation.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - I was able to find transportation for the client. They are going to take an uber. There just is no transportation from the airport to the hotel where they need to go.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday.

    Tabatha

    @vexedangel678 What do you do for work? I am officially retired now. WOW! Those years went by SUPER FAST!! My favorite times at the store was before a blizzard (I live in Maine) or any storm we might lose electricity (LOL In the 90s I could not believe how many would RUSH in to rent videos!! Hehehehe no electricity LOLOL) or at holiday time.

    I can't wait to retire! :) I have about 10-ish more years. I work in schools, which is a good gig, I'm glad and lucky to have it. I'm a music therapist, so I work with students with disabilities using music to reach [non-musical] IEP goals.

    Hi VIP's! We are your cheerleaders!📣🏅
    06nvv3xgeqiy.png
    Last night hubby and I went for photos for the church directory. It said to bring pets so we took our 2 dogs. There were so excited it was hard to get them calmed down for a picture. Then I passed them to a friend to watch so we could have pictures without them.

    We had bacon and eggs this morning. I looked at the calories on the package and realized that is for the raw weight. I have always limited my serving to 2 slices based on that. This morning I splurged and had 3.

    I walked my dog Rebel this morning. I am cleaning house and will do a YouTube exercise later. I live on the coast in the Pacific Northwest area. It a sunny 43F/6C today. I will start yard work soon.

    I this month. It's nice to have more free time and without a long to do list.

    I made a playlist on Alexa with lively music for kitchen dancing when I am cooking. Do you have suggestions for some to add?

    @mlkdud Congratulations on your weight loss. I wish you continued success! What diet is working for you? Where did you set up your treadmill?

    @Tabatha_Cain I hope you MIL is nicer to you in 2024. How does white noise affect you? I think I tried but it didn't help.

    @macrat12 I give it a listen later. I googled it.

    @cormierannie You are starting the New Year in a good way.

    @Kurtize it sounds like you are successfully moved in and have great new neighbors.

    @chansen_2000 @vexedangel678 & @NoelAnnne zf8lovm65sr6.png
    @bookieNJ I hope all goes well with the band.

    @HeevenleeRose Good to hear things are going well now.

    @CSEGUIN2 I wish you and your family all the best. Big hug.

    @lavalily Sounds like an interesting diet.

    @hicim705 Nice to see you here!

    @lavalily, TY TY TY for the suggestion!
    @Tabatha_Cain , how did the packing for S go? Are you going to repupose the room? NICE job on helping the client, they can also use Uber for the airport to the hotel. I find Uber is quite a bit cheaper than a taxi. GREAT JOB Tabatha!! ENJOY the weekend!
    @Macrat12, NICE JOB!
    @vexedangel678 , Oh what a COOL JOB!! That's so neat!! I had been a foster grandmother in Portland ME, it turned out and I DID LAUGH SO HARD, I was assigned to the same school I had attended as a kid!! LOL One day (I worked with a 2nd grade classroom it had 19 kids, 16 boys! LOL SO FUNNY!!) I told the kids "Grandma (They called me that, it was my postion with them) used to come to school over 50 years ago!! (Their little eyes were so huge it got me to giggling!) and I used to tie my dinosaur right over there on that tree!! It was smaller at that time." LOL I forgot to tell them otherwise. LOLOL!! Mrs M (Teacher) and I got along so well!! She just turned her back to laugh she enjoyed all of my stories as much as the kids did, maybe MORE! I'd take them down to music and stay with them since we had a few students who did not speak English (they did though quickly pick it up! I loved that!). It was so much fun watching the kids who loved music really come alive who may not in the classroom. TY TY TY For doing such an important job!! Music helps people "speak" when they have trouble expressing themselves.
    @chansen_2000 , Awww you are with @Hicim705 HEIDI!! You will be so well taken care of!! HI HEIDI!!
    @Kaliswalker, hey Lynn hope you enjoy the weekend. WE HAVE SNOW coming! I LOVE SNOW as you know.

    Well, here it is the first day of the challenge and I am about preparted as a ?????, I haven't even thought really about my approach to the challenge. Guess I had better get my mind wrapped around something beside the house. As some of you know we have torn out the old carpet and am putting wood flooring down in our dining room, so everything that was in there is now thru out the house, and it is driving me crazy. I don't like a messy house, and everythings hellter-skelter and then this darn gunk I have had and I am about ready to crawl out of my skin, and poor hubby has had to put up with my grumpiness. Got the flooring all sitting in the corner, just waiting for son 2 to come and lay it. That is one thing about cheat help is that you have to wait for just the right time. In the next couple days I will spent sometime deciding what the next 10 week will bring, So Gals, and Guys, lets make this first week a success. Linda

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this very early morning. Today is Sunday and Joe and I have church today. We will be driving to church. To say I need church today is an understatement. I got nothing done yesterday other than grocery shopping. I ended up getting my ultrasound results back from the radiologist. My doctor has not read them yet. The hospital released them to me first. I was having some female issues a while back and they found some issues they wanted to recheck in 3 months and well my 3 months came and here is what they found this time:

    The left ovary measures 5.4 x 3.8 x 5 cm. The hypoechoic structures within the left ovary are better visualized on today's exam. These have the sonographic appearance of several closely adjacent simple cystic structures with the 2 largest measuring 4.5 cm and 2.6 cm in greatest diameter. The larger suspected ovarian cyst has a small daughter follicle within measuring 1.8 cm. If this patient has no risk factors for ovarian cancer, it would be acceptable to these suspected left ovarian cyst in 6-12 months with pelvic ultrasound. If this patient has risk factors for ovarian cancer, further characterization with MRI pelvis would be recommended.

    I am totally freaking out at this point. It is way worse than they thought it was. I have already had precancer cells on my cervix when I was 22. So this really scares me. Then I just think about my husband. We just got married in June and he already had to bury one wife. How can I expect to make him go through this with me. It isn't fair to him. I feel angry that this is even happening when I am finally happy and so ready to conquer the world with the man of my dreams. I know it isn't a definitive diagnosis yet, but I feel like they wouldn't say that if it wasn't serious.

    @kaliswalker - That is awesome getting photos with your dogs. I don't think I could get mind to sit still long enough to get a picture. I love the song "Happy". The last name of the guy who sings it is Williams. I cannot remember his first name. Something like Pherrel. The white noise or more specifically the fan blowing helps me sleep more sound. I have an old house that likes to make a lot of noise and when the fan or white noise is going I don't hear all that extra stuff and I can sleep. Otherwise I lay awake listening to everything and my anxiety goes through the roof. I hope my MIL is nicer this year too.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - I was able to score 4 boxes to pack some of my son's things in. I did not even get started yet. I will be getting more boxes today I think. I am going to repurpose the porch. Not sure how yet. I am thinking a treadmill. My son took over the porch for his gaming room and well it is a hot mess. It will probably take me a couple of days to box everything up. I am leaving his room alone for now as he does stay here when Joe and I go to Joe's parents. My son watches the animals while we are gone so he does need a place to sleep.
    @imustloseit1 - That must be frustrating to have the house all in an upheaval. I am sure you will get it straightened out soon though. I hope you are feeling better from that crud you had.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.

    Exercise - I combined my walking today with moving all the pictures I have had stored since I had the walls in the house were painted. Now that I know we are going to move later this year, I pulled all these pictures out and sorted them. This required carrying them from where I had them stored to another room where I would sort them. It increased my walking time by probably 20 minutes versus what I would have just done walking...A double win!!!

    Decluttering
    - There are some pictures I know I don't want to spend the money to move so they have been put in the give away pile. A couple were broken and thrown away. Some I know I am going to keep...but I have a 4th pile that I need to think about because I am not sure what I want to do with them.
    Many of the undecided are the pictures of my grandchildren I have been given over the years...I am thinking I might take them out of their frames and put all the pictures for each grandchild in one frame showing their chronological aging. Maybe this is one way to move from 10 to 15 pictures to just one.

    Anyone have any other suggestions?


    Weight Loss - now that I am back on IF 18:6 and eating healthy Keto...not only has my hunger dropped significantly...I am have lost 3.5 of the 6 pounds that I gained over New Years weekend. I really don't want to experience this weight gain again. I need to get to a healthy weight and then I need to learn how to stay there consistently.

    Let's ROCK this winter challenge

    @imustloseit1 WELCOME to the Winter 5%! Sounds like you've been sick, ewwwww it's always so hard when we are! Hopefully soon you'll be on the upswing. I also do not like a house not in order. But when we want to improve/update it happens. WOOHOO Son 2 can help you with that! Nice savings!!! Have you looked at the Pre Assignments? @hicim705 (Heidi) did an excellent job. Please take a look to go over them. They'll help you to wrap around a plan that is solid. @Kaliswalker puts a lot of thought into the LTGL's (Living The Good Life for any newer members AKA Healthy Habits) when we take the time to read them through they also help us greatly. Doing these will assist you. I do them slowly, but that's me, it just helps me more as I put something in different then I had before. It's only a suggestion. BUT! A good one.
    @Tabatha_Cain, I've been where you are at. IT IS SCARY for sure!!! All of the tests they did on me presurgery pointed clearly to ovarian cancer. When I woke up after the sugery I was in the best room they had (a corner room) on the cancer floor they had told me to be ready to hear the treatment plan. My cyst was as big as a soft ball they said, I do not see how that was possible, but that's what they said. I could see maybe a ping pong ball so I did ask later on (weeks later) when my stitches were being take out. Well I am sure not sure it was that big it seems impossible. Either way I DID NOT have cancer. I am very high risk (Mom breast cancer which is different) but I am also a a DES baby. Did your Mom have a hard time carrying you? Was she given Diethylstilbestrol (DES) to help since her body was having a very hard time carrying me (her breast cancer was a result of that med and estrogen). It's scary and I WAS SCARED!! I put all of my ducks in a row, and like you, I was horribly upset. In the end I didn't need to be. DEEP BREATHING Tabatha, because it's no help to your mind or soul to jump to the worse case senario though so normal. I kept reminding myself "sometimes they are WRONG!" "SOMETIMES THEY ARE WRONG!" I'd PUSH SO HARD for the MRI immediately though. I sure would. When I had to get a clarifying brain MRI for an aneurysm it was off a bit. I called the hospital to ask if they had any cancellations. I asked the woman how she was,, I wished her well, as we talked I let her see how kind I am, and scared. She was so sweet and I did get moved way up! Hint Hint this works all the time for medical stuff (and more hon). We are here with you. BREATHE DEEPLY please, even if it is, we are here with you.
    @130StrongerEachYear , HI!! So good to see you here!! WOW lots of work, but you did it!! WTG!! I have so many pics of the kids, LOLOLOL A LOT!! What I did (I used to move quite a bit because it was entertaining, honestly it was! But, now I have a place i totally love right on the harbor in the Greater Portland ME area) was to use my phone camera (I could of my regular camera also) and took pictures of the pictures. EASY PEASEY!! They are always available if I wish, I use google photos and can organize them (I do not do that though LOLOL BUT, I COULD!). Its a nice option of not having to lug things as I was moving, and more so now I am older, I wanted to declutter. AND weekly sometimes a few times a week I get more pics, but thankfully we all agree to send them on messengar or we grab them off each other from FB and we all put them into a digital form. I am not sure if you'd enjoy that. But, its such an easy option. LET'S ROCK THIS!!!

    WOOHOO WE FINALLY got some snow!! YO!! It's so strange we tied the record for 2nd place on the longest time into the season for snow. It's MAINE!! Though Southern Coastal Maine, but STILL!! I've lived here 99% of my life within 5 miles of where I was born and it used to be crazy snowy. I ADORE SNOW!

    Good Afternoon Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this afternoon. Look a rare occurrence. I am posting twice in one day. Usually I am so busy I don't get a chance to do this. I am really happy that I get to relax today. I went to church this morning and it was so helpful. I really feel like I got a good message out of the service today.

    @130StrongerEachYear - Thank you so very much. Church today definitely out things in perspective. I know I have a lot to pray for.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - Thank you. I really appreciate it. I have PCOS so cysts are nothing new for me. What really scares me is that it went from 2 cysts to several cysts and a daughter follicle in 3 months. The fibroids in my uterus are also increased. There are a lot more of them as well, and now they are saying possible cancer. I don't think my mom had issues carrying me. I am definitely getting testing done though.

    Well I hope you all have a great Sunday.

    Hi all happy and blessed Sunday. Sending hugs and prayers, Diane and Tabatha. It is in the 40's with prediction of snow coming this week. We shall see. I finished the computer room so everything is now unpacked and in place. On my Jesus walk with the Conqueror Challenge I unlocked a local attraction.

    I'm still learning MFP, how do I respond to a particular person's message?

    Thanks!

    @chansen_2000 - If you are replying to someone in a chat, just use the @name - for instance, if you want to address me, just use the @hicim705. BUT the trick is knowing that someone has tagged you. Look at your screen (if you are on a PC/laptop and look toward the top right. You will see a little 'bell' with a number in a red circle. That will tell you that you have messages. You can click on that and a menu will drop-down and you will be able to scan to see which message(s) are for you. Hope that I explained this well enough!

    Chansen 2000, I agree with you, I am still trying to find my way around in here.

    Had a better day today, and got some cleaning done, and did get some catnip planted for the Kits.
    Quite a lenghty process, but followed the direstions, so hope they grow. Along with some grasses I planted for them to munch on. Those 2 are so spoiled, and I can't blame anyone but myself. lol Linda

    Good Evening Everyone!

    I am in no physical danger. For emotional I deal with it by keeping to myself, working, and hanging at my friends when ever possible. I do know how to connect with the group that deals with female abuse victims as I have been through the process before.

    Planned on checking in last night but didn't get it done. So glad to see how active our chat is. We got a bit of snow overnight but is all melted. But more is on the way. Really was hoping for some decent snow so I could make some extra cash with my side job. Yesterday was spent sleeping doing dishes and visiting with my friend. My new routine seems to include sleeping most of Saturday. Today I went to Church, did some laundry, read, crafted and made dinner for myself. I made quesadillas using chicken I brought home from work earlier in the week. Actually got my MFP account to work properly on my phone with the website so was able to track my food tonight. Other than the ex being lazy when it comes to getting chores done his attitude today was not bad. I am learning to worry about myself when it comes to meals and let him fend for himself. We have eaten meals together for so long I have to learn to not stress about eating by myself.

    @Tabatha_Cain ,No doubt you'll talk to your Dr today When I think of how many times I got really scared (Breast cancer keeps popping up as it may be. Keeping in mind my Mom died from it and I am as said a DES baby) but it never turned out to be worse case scenario, well other than the brain anuerysm. Now that I survived that LOL I feel like a CAT with MANY lives! Many times we over worry. So yes, I am hoping you'll talk to your Dr or nurse today ONE DAY at a time if it is.
    @Kurtize, that's so exciting!! I'd love to walk the places Jesus did, but with the wars that's a NO GO! Plus, LOL I've not travelled in so long. We are hoping to travel to NY outside of the city this spring it's a 4.5 hour drive, we'll make it a 6 or 7. LOL The people I hang with DO NOT like fast food or bringing their own for travel. I DO!
    @Imustloseit1, LOLOL Many of us can relate to spoiling our furbabies. I have Izzy and Oscar! Izzy is 14 and Oscar is 1. She was NOT Impressed.

    @Cseguin2, Happy to hear you are physically safe. WOOHOO on the snow you got though it wasn't much. Mine was over about a foot. WOOHOO on tracking!! GREAT JOB figuring it out!!! I hope you can do your side job. Around here daily when there's a storm on Nextdoor (most towns/cities have Nextdoor for their area) people ask if anyone can help them shovel etc. If you were here, you'd clean up! If I am recalling you offer to help others while being able to count it as exercise. SMART THINKING!! Plus you help out many who need it so badly, great service! kzi7ji2qzk6q.jpg

    Hi everyone. I look forward to getting to know all of you this winter.

    @imustloseit1 Linda good to see you again. Sound like you are exercising your patience.

    @Tabatha_Cain I hope you can talk with your doctor right away! That's a lot to think about. My dogs were just chaos running around but we finally got them posed. It was a little risky taking off their leashes.

    I will add Happy to the play list and Bruno Mars. Keep the suggestions coming.

    @130StrongerEachYear I like the idea of arranging the grandkids pics chronological aging. Let's be our best this month and get launched for the year!

    @chansen_2000 add the @ before the name it gets flagged for them.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 I have never been good with storing pictures. I need to learn some how. Wow that is a snowy picture!

    @Kurtize The pictures are amazing! Thanks for sharing. I really loved the ones from Peru too.

    @CSEGUIN2 Sorry that you are going through this. I hope better days come soon.

    Last night we went to a multicultural party at our church. We had invited 5 guest and we all had so much fun. The kids with us won door prizes and bingo prizes. There was quite an assortment of ethnic foods from all over. Hubby made a French Canadian casserole and I brought a couple of cherry pies. Tonight we had our family over for dinner.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and we are back to work. I am going to be calling the OB this morning and scheduling an appointment with him. That way we can discuss my options and see where we go from here. I am going to push for the MRI. If he won't do it then I will go to my regular doctor and push for it, as I already saw my regular doc in December and she said if the OB I chose won't do what I want they will find one that will because it is my health we are dealing with. So I know I have someone in my corner.

    @imustloseit1 - I should probably get some catnip and grass growing for my cats. They try on occasion to eat my son's plants. So they may be needing something.
    @CSEGUIN2 - That is one of the hard things. Learning to do it all alone. That caused me many panic attacks when I left my son's father. I was so use to doing it together and not being alone I started having panic attacks when I did new stuff alone. I am glad you are in no physical danger. We got a dusting of snow also that was gone by lunch time yesterday.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - Thank you. I am calling the doc this morning when they open. I am going to push for getting the MRI so we can see what we are dealing with. Church really helped me this morning. I am giving it to God and going one day at a time. Wow a foot of snow. That is a lot. It will be some nice shoveling.
    @kaliswalker - This is awesome. I might think about photos in my backyard, but 2 of my dogs will take off chasing a leaf being blown by the wind. No way I am taking them off the leash in anywhere other than my back yard. I like the multicultural party at church. Sounds like fun and lots of food to try.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

    Tabatha
