@micaroo4 I’m sorry you are sick!
@trooworld Congrats on finally getting your surgery date!
It is very nice of MIL to offer to let you stay with her, and it is good for you to take her up on the offer. You will appreciate having someone wait on you as you recover. How long will you have to stay in the hospital?
Good morning! Other than the usual, there is not much going on today. My pastor wants an invite card that our members can use to invite people to church. My problem is that I’m using Etsy for inspiration and my Canva Pro, which has a million choices. I'm making myself crazy!
Now, I need to get Joe up and start this day. Have a good one!

@TeresaW2024 There IS a downfall to so many choices, I hope you're able to narrow one down for the invite.
@laurelfit57 Big hugs to you, hope today is less stressful
@micaroo4 Shoot I hope you don't have a sinus infection, smart to go soon if it doesn't go away though. I tend to get those fairly easy too.
@trooworld I can understand some people not wanting pics shown I think 2025 WILL be your year I'm so excited for you! Congrats on the surgery date, woohoo! That's very kind of your MIL to offer to take care of you, I''m sure it will be helpful to be with her. You'll have to get all your Christmas shopping too.
Hi team! Had a slow morning I got to the pharmacy and next up is a meeting for Let It Snow followed by the Let It Snow Committee meeting tonight. I'm either going to eat at home or take something with me. It's chilly today I spent the morning in bed napping instead of going to the farm so I can get over this cold. Have a great night and awesome Thursday!1 -

I had a really good day, yesterday. I ate great and went for a walk, me and Chipper. It was a great walk until I fell down. I was admiring how beautiful the trees are in their fall colors. So, I was trying to reach my phone out of my back pocket, with my head in the tree's and I accidently stepped right off the road onto the side of the rock packed trail. It hurt, but I was able to make it home. My knees are a little skinned up. All I could think is, Lol... I'm getting to old for this falling down s💩💩t. Sorry, for the language...4

@DrewsAnna - so sorry you fell! Hope by morning you are feeling better.
I'm going to the clinic this morning to hopefully get some treatment for my sinus pain. I made the mistake of taking 12-hour sudafed last night, and my heart has been racing all night. No sleep.

@trooworld - Congrats on getting your surgery scheduled. I had the same questions as @TeresaW2024. It will be good for you the have some help after so you can get back on your feet quicker!
@TeresaW2024 - It's so hard to decide!
@Katmary71 - You have a cold? Yuck!
@DrewsAnna - Is life at this age about keeping us humble? 2 weeks ago, I wasn't paying attention and opened a car door into my face- cut my cheek open........ Hugs.
@micaroo4 - hope the clinic can help you feel better
I wish it was Friday!

Happy Halloween! 🍬🎃

@TeresaW2024 Thank you! Yes, it is nice of my MIL. I will be in the hospital 1-2 nights. I know you will do a great job with the invite card. I'm jealous of your Canva Pro!
@Lislisa123 Congrats on the loss! Thanks for the Halloween greeting!
@Katmary71 Yeah me too. Thank you! Yes indeed. I hope you feel better soon.
@DrewsAnna I'm sorry you fell, it sounds like it was something that could happen to us all. I hope you feel better today!
@micaroo4 I hope they can give you something for the sinus pain. Take care.
@Cornanda Thank you! 1-2 nights! I wish it were Friday, too.
Hi all. Happy Halloween! I woke up with a terrible migraine. I usually get nauseous from the medication I take but not the migraine but today, I am nauseous from the migraine. I took some meds and hopefully, it works but it WILL make the nausea worse. I am going to go to work with the hope that it goes away. I was going to dress up for Halloween but I am not in the mood so I am going to wear a Halloween sweater instead.

@Cornanda It is sooooo hard!!!
@trooworld, I am so sorry that you woke up with a migraine. I hope it passes so you can enjoy your day.
Canva Pro is the best, and it just keeps getting better!!
Happy Halloween!! This morning, Joe has his 4-month CT scan, and then I will drag him to the church so I can do payroll and grab the contributions so I can do end-of-month stuff. Tonight, I will hand out candy to any kiddos who knock on the door.

Nothing for pain; antibiotics for 7 days. She said take ibuprofen for pain. Doesn't seem to be working very well.

@micaroo4 Hopefully those antibiotics kick in fast!
@TeresaW2024 Happy Halloween! I've been thinking of getting Canva Pro, maybe I'll try to talk the practitioner into getting it so we can share.
@trooworld Thanks! Happy Halloween! Oh no I'm so sorry about the migraine, doesn't seem fair the meds will make it worse. Hope it lets you enjoy the day a bit but I know they take time to recover from.
@lisalisa123 Love the meme!
@Cornanda It's almost Friday, one more day!
Hi gang! I'm waiting for my chicken pumpkin chili to finish in the Instant Pot, I hope it does before my class tonight! Last night went well for the Let It Snow committee and the afternoon meeting went well too, we had some new people come out which is awesome. We have an issue with our treasurer that's a big deal, I'm hoping he pulls through as I like him a lot but he's behind on filing a bunch of paperwork that's affecting everything we do. I had my surgeon follow-up and my back's fused well, it was worth the surgery for the back pain alone just wish the nerves had improved some with the fusions. My rheumatology appointment is finally scheduled at the end of Dec. Had a good greenhouse morning and am about to try a new recipe with some Futsu winter squash I freezed last year, hoping it's good as it just finished cooking. Have a great Friday!3 -

Hi all
Glad to scroll posts and see all the weight loss. Congrats!
@trooworld congratulations on getting your appointment
I am just popping in quick to scroll and roll. 😂
@micaroo4 get well soon. 💐
@Katmary71 the chili sounds great! I am ready to start making batches of soups/stews and freezing portions. It’s the season.
I have been up and down on my diary logging. I am doing better. I am on day 3 of no bready carbs. I went to texas roadhouse (my favorite lunch deal for protein) and skipped the buns. The aroma was calling out to me. 😂
Happy November! I can’t believe this year has passed so fast.

@TeresaW2024 Thank you! I love Canva, I use it for stuff here and other things. I hope the scan went well. How many kiddos did you get? Did you dress up?
@micaroo4 I'm sorry about that. Hopefully, the antibiotics will kick in quickly and the pain will reduce.
@askewcr Great job, you got this!
@Katmary71 I know, right? I did enjoy my day despite not feeling well. I hope your chili came out well. I'm glad your follow-up was good. Yay for the rheumatology appt getting scheduled!
@AmbersWay Thank you! I hope you are doing well. Yes, the year has flown by!
Hi all. I stayed all day at work even though I felt bad. Actually, I left 15 mins early but that was because there was a fire down in the area where I live and I knew the traffic would be bad so the earlier I left, the better. It took me 2 1/2 hours to get home! It normally takes 1 hr 20 mins to 1 hr 40 mins.

Finally over being sick, but I must have vastly underestimated my calories. In the 3 weeks I was sick, I jumped 9 lb.! Some of that is birthday cake season at my house, but the numbers just aren't adding up, so I must be underestimating somehow. I'm up a shirt size and a pant size. It's not a great feeling. The scale is currently my enemy.6

Good morning Slims,
Normally I have Fridays off, but it's the first day of the month, and that means inventory. I went in at 4, and worked 5 hours. Now I'm home to rest for a bit. I don't know if the antibiotics are working yet; my face hurts. My upper left jaw hurts. The roof of my mouth hurts. I have a headache, and I can't remember if I've already taken ibuprofen. I set the timer for 20 minutes; if everything still hurts just as much when the timer goes off, it means I probably didn't take it yet.

Yesterday, was a good day, I didn't exercise, but I got a lot accomplished. I call that a win. My food choices have been on point and I'm glad. Lol... I have been eating the candy.
It's time I started logging in my diary again. It really helps because, if you don't want to log it, don't eat it.
Y'all have a great day 😀

Apparently eating Thai food before weigh day was a bad idea last week lol. I thought the gain was weird but it was the salt.5 -

@Bethanie0825 Yikes I'm glad it really was the salt I know those gains really stink after eating out.
@DrewsAnna Sounds like you've been doing well despite the candy. I agree start logging again!
@micaroo4 Sending hugs and prayers you're feeling better soon that doesn't sound fun.
@morenin I'm glad you aren't sick now! Like @DrewsAnna just said time to log again so you can look at it in black and white for possible issues. I usually gain when I'm sick from all the sodium from crackers and soup. I hear ya on the scale as enemy!
?
@trooworld Do you have the paid version of Canva too? I'm glad you had a good day. Not sure if you saw but that butternut squash feta soup was really good. Thanks! You're a very dedicated worker leaving only 15 minutes early, that commute sounds extra bad and frustrating.
@AmbersWay Thanks! Do share what you're making so we can all swap recipes, I've discovered so many great ones from this group. Way to go on going to Texas Roadhouse and not eating bread! It's always so tempting.
Hi friends! We've had rain off and on and it's on it's way again, forgot how tough the cold and rain is on me. I was up and down most the night and was snappy with a friend of mine but I explained what was going on and stopped being a grump before it hurt our friendship. Made it to the greenhouse, checked on my garden bed, cleaned, and did a little shopping. A friend is supposed to come by tonight to pick up her bike but I'm going to take a bath and put my pjs on if she doesn't call soon and crawl into bed and read. Have a great Saturday!2 -
Day 1 of the Down Dog November challenge down! I only am able to do 15 minutes of chair yoga so far, but I definitely felt some glute and hip flexor action happening!1

Antibiotics are working; my sinus pain is mostly gone and I don't need ibuprofen. I'm still not back to exercising, but I'm going to try to catch up with the house work.

I have been introduced to Power Project. It's a program for people who are pre-diabetic or all the way in a diabetic. I'm all the way in. I heard about it from my sister in love. Since joining, I have been more conscious of my numbers, the foods I eat and moving better. There is a coach available all the time and I am on a team. There are so many tools available. I feel encouraged. I'm proud of my numbers and am encouraged!
On another note, I will be having knee surgery a week from Monday. I have been struggling with these knees over five years and am tired of hurting. I will get the left one done first. I'm ready for it to be over and the healing process to begin. They say it's pain like you've never imagined. I figure, if others have made it through, then I can too.3
