@Cornanda I’m sure my scale was mad for being dead for days. 😩😂
@Katmary71 well the scale was shocking. Woke up today and it’s looking so much better. So who knows what was going on.
What a year on the farm for you. You did so much and it was nice that you took us all with you.

Well I made an appt to get my ferritin checked. It seems it’s low again and I’ll be due for infusions. I hope to get it done fast. Im so tired and each day it feels worse. I wasn’t able to ride my bike due to my sleepiness but am ready to roll as soon as I get my energy level up.
Goals for this week. Continue to clean out cabinets/closets. Prep for New Years. It’s our 30th anniversary and it will be super chill. We had planned to travel but with hubby’s accident, we’ve postponed. So it will be an evening of snacks and family time. ❤️ 30 years is crazy!!! It feels like yesterday.
Have a great day all!

Well, I don’t know what’s going on with my scale but an hour later it was 3 lbs less. This morning down more.
@Katmary71 thanks for the ideas. I haven’t been logging well but have been getting back to my plan meals. That was almost 9 lbs in less than a week. We’ll see how the rest of the week goes. For that much of a gain I expect to have had some great meals and I haven’t 😩😂
@trooworld how nice that your husband got the decor up. That is a nice surprise.
@FushiaKat glad your appointment went well. I think we are all going to be waiting for you to open the gift. How exciting.
@gemwolf110 thinking of you and your family.

Nothing too exciting to report here. Trying to get charity things out of the house. Cleaning closets. Hoping to get back on my bike today. Started back on my feroglobin supplements, I think my ferritin may be getting low again. I am so sleepy and have some other symptoms. I think I’ll be going in this week to get checked and probably get an infusion.
I hope everyone is doing well and keeping happily busy.
Thank you 🥰

@ambersway- yes that scale said "I'll show her"!
@gemwolf110 - that looks super yummy!
@Katmary71 - Are you saying book clubs get to jump ahead of you on the hold list?!
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas- hope you find some moments of joy and peace whatever you may be doing this year.

@FushiaKat- How exciting to have a big box waiting for you to hope. Looking forward to seeing your Christmas room when your done.
@trooworld- I love me some Christmas candles. It's so nice to walk into the house that smells amazing and someone already has candles going. It makes me feel warm and cozy.
My boys are on winter break now and we are taking a small family trip up to Pigeon Forge for a night. I have to admit I'm very excited. I love looking at Christmas lights and everyone out and about.2 -
@katmary71 – So sorry! I forgot...or subconsciously I don’t want to look at the numbers steadily increasing…

@trooworld & @Katmary71 – Sounds like all 3 of us need to stay away from coffee makers! Hahaaha!
@badnoodle – I am so sorry. Hugs and prayers for your dad to heal quickly and peace for your family.
I’ve been slammed at work for year-end plus my surgery tomorrow. So let me apologize in advance if I happen to type something weird on here the next few days…it’s the fault of the pain killers!
Happy news – found out Hunter’s having a girl so that will give me 2 granddaughters and 2 grandsons. Babies are so freaking FUN! And I was right – my DIL did get Sophie and Byron matching Christmas outfits. Here are my cuties:
On a serious note, I am trying so hard not to beat myself up about this huge weight gain (about 15 pounds in 2 months). I just need to focus on nipping it in the bud NOW. I bought groceries yesterday and got a lot of veggies. The only faux meat I bought was some seitan-based chikn strips for my salad. Other than that, my home is now mainly filled with produce, grains, beans, tvp and tofu. I did pick up some pasta & sauce, but got the chickpea pasta for the added protein. Now I just have to make sure I eat all the goodness instead of grabbing fast food.
And on with my hectic day…TTYL, my sweet peeps!

@gemwolf110 Yum that casserole looks amazing, that will be nice to have ready to go in the freezer.
@AmbersWay Great I'm so glad to hear the scale's calmed down. Sounds like you need that infusion, that tiredness sounds like it's hard to get anything done. Happy anniversary!
@Cornanda I'm not sure if the book clubs get a jump or not but if you have a group they get books together for everyone. I'd imagine the book clubs read recent releases so I'm not sure how that's handled. @trooworld do you know?
@865jessica Have fun on your trip with the family!
@trooworld Thanks! Hahaha shame on husband making you think you need a hearing aid!
@vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you! Haha my coffee maker leaked today, I took the cover off the carafe so I'm not sure why this time. Good luck with surgery tomorrow, I'll be praying for you! My Dad's having surgery tomorrow too and you're both in my prayers. Sophie and Byron are too adorable, I love it! It's wonderful they're having their kids around the same time, I loved growing up with my cousins. Sounds like great prep for eating well, you did great!
Hi friends! I got the last seeding done for the year, I'm worn out today. I'm in the middle of making Armenian gatas waiting for the dough to chill for a few hours to bake, hopefully I won't be up too late. I'm getting my hair done tomorrow then running by the holistic pain group for a wire I need then headed to the charity president's house to learn something about yahoo groups, I'm looking forward to a mellow Saturday! Have an awesome Friday team! Oh and I'm going out of my way to eat healthier, had Trader Joe's harvest chili for lunch and apple harvest salad for dinner. I have to get back to making my good salads instead of buying them.
@Veta2018 @bethanie0825 @Cornanda @davors19 @trooworld Please remember to post your weigh-ins tomorrow, good luck!2 -
@trooworld- I had a hearing test a couple years ago and I did well on it. My family still doesn't believe the results, but I remind them when they give me a hard time.
@vegan4lyfe2012 - two girls and two boys- that's awesome! They are sooooo cute in the pic with their little bare feet! Wishing you well on the surgery.

Hello,
Hope y'all are doing well. I've been busy. Did some shopping yesterday. Today I need to finish wrapping presents. It's going to be three days of celebrating with family. Tomorrow, we go to Chicago.
It will be my oldest sons 28th birthday. We had a nice lunch together earlier this week. He will be celebrating with us for the first time in over 7 years. I'm prepping shish kabob's (chicken, beef, and pork with veggies), and baking cookies. Christmas Eve, we go to my in-laws. Then, I invited our 3 boys and FIL over for Christmas Day Brunch. I need to make sure I make time for my workouts to help with any extra calories I might consume. I'm only concerned about Christmas Eve, because I'm not sure what my MIL has planned yet. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas.
💪Mission Slimpossible Strong!💪

Surgery ended up being a bit more intense than anticipated, but I'm through it. And super sucks that I'll have to be non-weight-bearing for awhile. Scooterville here I come...
@Katmary71 I'm going to need to take a break from weighing in since I don't know how much this boot brace weighs yet2 -
@trooworld Thanks! I'm sure your husband has been super busy, beef stew will be a wonderful treat! You have me thinking of that beef and barley soup now!
@Veta2018 I'm so glad you'll be spending your oldest son's birthday with him, the meal sounds perfect. I hope your holidays go well and you're able to get the workouts in. Thank you, have a wonderful Christmas and safe travels.
@vegan4lyfe2012 I hope everything was able to be repaired during surgery, that's one big boot you posted on your feed! I hope you're not in too much pain, that boot will be tough to lug around.You're the first person to stop weighing for me, I sent a message out to see what to do but promise not to nag you for a weigh-in.
Hi team! Had my hair touched up, the curls already fell out but it still looks nice. I made the Nazook (gatas) and took some to a few neighbors, The charity president was sick so I didn't go over to learn the program which made time for baking. I got the mellow day today that I needed, maybe time for some reading tomorrow. I just finished Britney Spears's autobiography and started The Family Upstairs which I'm off to read now. Have a great night friends!
@littlebabekitty @bethanie0825 @Cornanda please post your weigh-ins, best of luck!

@trooworld That's great, sounds like a good filling meal would hit the spot especially with the chilly weather and busy husband. Thanks! It was an interesting read, she comes across a lot younger like when someone's been through hard trauma young and tends to stay that age emotionally. She never mentioned bipolar disorder in the book either but was on medication for it, not sure if she feels it was something to control her with or she believes she doesn't have it which would've been interesting to know if there's mental health instability for her to genuinely have had a conservatorship (her Dad really does sound like he took advantage whether there's a diagnosis or not). Her acting out happened when Kevin kept her from seeing her boys which would be understandable. Her description of what she's doing these days on Instagram dancing in sexy clothes is in her words wanting to simply be happy and bond with her fans while trying on new clothes so it sounds like it comes from an innocent place. Like at one point she says how she always thrashes her head around as long flyaway hair makes men think she's happy having fun like she's doing it to make others happy and not herself. Her Dad's dad put two of his wives in mental institutions so makes you wonder if it was a learned controlling thing her Dad was doing to her. I do feel sorry for her reading it and believe things are hard with her family, I've always wondered if she may need a conservatorship of someone looking out for her who is more neutral and less strict if she tends to break from reality. This got super long sorry! Interesting situation though but would be awful to go through.
@trooworld Oh a ricotta cheese kit for your husband would be an awesome gift! You could grow the herbs for the lasagna in your Aerogarden, that would be awesome! My most fun meals are from my garden or the food bank farm produce.
Thanks team for the weigh-ins! Don't forget to get your weigh-ins @littlebabekitty @bethanie0825 and @Digger61 don't forget your weigh-in tomorrow!
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone! I'll still be popping in but know we'll all be in and out the next few days, hope you have the most special time ever. Thank you for being like a family here, I feel very blessed to have all of you in my life.1 -

@Katmary71 - I have not read Britney's memoir, but I did watch her documentary. It's sad. I felt like the conservatorship was a little too much. However, it sounds like she's in denial that she has a bipolar disorder. She is very beautiful and talented and doesn't need to act out. I wish her happiness in whatever she decides to do with her life.
@vegan4lyfe2012 - I hope your recovery goes smoother than the procedure. Enjoy your temporary new wheels....lol. I love the picture of your grandbabies. They both look so precious.
@trooworld - I needed to go into Ross's for a last minute purchase. Stood in line for over and hour and ended up picking up 3 more items that I seen before I made it to the register...hehehe. I also need to remember not to wear my coat shopping. It gets way to hot in the stores. Enjoy the homemade lasagna. I made lasagna last year for Christmas.🎄Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas celebration!🎄💪Mission Slimpossible Strong! 💪

Lots better around here, and thank you to everyone for the care and support. Dad looks to be going home later this week, and that is a load off everyone's mind.
As a result of all the upheaval, Christmas itself is a little slapdash this year, but I really don't care too much about decorations or wrapping paper when the alternative was a funeral. I'm fully aware that there are lots of people who have lost loved ones at Christmas, so my empathy for those folks is really huge right now.
So I didn't make *any* of my December goals, but now that I'm cooking in my own kitchen again, I think I can at least finish the next week strong.

A Quick Note: It's so easy to be discouraged by the number on the scale this time of year, but remember that our bodies are doing everything they can to keep us alive. It takes in more water to process excess salt and sugars, needs time to grow new muscle, doesn't work as effectively when stressed or sick... grant yourself some grace, grant your body some grace, and know that a few bad decisions will not undo months and months and months of progress.
You're doing better than you think. Happy Holidays!

Hey guys!
I’m so sorry this week has been a blur! I forgot it was Sunday so I didn’t weigh this morning. I’ll do it first thing tomorrow.
Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating! I wish each of you peace and good health!2
