    Hi all - happy Monday. I started a 29 day Holiday challenge with Better 5. It started yesterday. I started a couple of years ago making my own weight chart. The first of every month (starting Jan 1), I weigh and record. I found this helps and encourages me because the wt. loss is more visible. Weekly weights are good and daily but they verify much and can at times be disappointing. Since Jan 1, I have lost 9 lbs. Just thought I would mention that. Tomorrow we go to the specialist. We leave at 5:30 am (the clinic is in Oklahoma City.). More than likely I won't be checking in tomorrow. Hugs all.

    I’m taking a stand for me and so I’ve decided not to go totally silly BUT from now until the New Year, I’m not tracking food nor exercise and on January first the timetable I’m sorting out for myself in the meantime (barring unscheduled hospital visits) is my go to.
    Too many fiddly things to fit in between now and then

    Good Morning VIP friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and I have the day off work. I have to work Saturday this week so they gave me Wednesday off. I am really excited about that. It is really exciting to have a whole day off in the middle of the week. I am so grateful for that. I am going to be able to get some things done here at home that I have not been able to do since I have been working long hours.

    @Kurtize - I hope you new challenge is going well. I also know yesterday you saw the specialist so I hope that went well also.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - Hope you are doing well.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday

    @nansbones7708 , Nan enjoy not tracking. That helps to see our progress if we've been doing this for awhile. You have been. We'll be soon on the winter challenge!
    @Tabatha_Cain, woohoo on today OFF! What did you do? Thanks for asking. It's a busy time for all of the OALs behind the scenes. Plus I'm going in a local mini vacation it's a very brief one! I'll try to pop in as I can.
    @Patti241, we might get a dab of snow tonight into tomorrow, but along the coast maybe we won't. Inland thru will but it's only a clipper.

    Good evening all, happy mid week. Yesterday was a very long day. We left at 5:30 am, it was so dark we missed the highway we were supposed to take and took the road before, had to go all around and finally go on S27 highway. We got to the hospital at 9:45 and didn't leave until around 3. We got home at 6:15pm, picked up Kayla. They took chest x-ray, blood work, urine sample. The dr. told us Don would need more surgery because their was an very invasive tumor and so far hadn't reached the lymph nodes so surgery was needed. He will have surgery on the 19th of Dec. We will go back to Oklahoma on the 18th and it all goes well he will be released on the 20th. The surgery will be around 2 - 3 hours. The day care center for Kayla gives a report card and she got a good one. They sent a picture of her outside playing

    Wishing you all a great rest of the day.

    HI ALL!! I've gone over to the 2025 Winter 5% Challenge for chat. I do check other feeds here, but for chatting it's just easier on one feed.
