I got all my shots, the covid arm was sore for a couple days but that was it. I should be good for the flu season now, it said to get the flu shot before Halloween. It's Halloween building contest time again, I'm thinking about what to build but have not started yet. They are coming out with a new ride today I might use since it's a ride contest, I usually do the ride first.
OMG the end of the year is coming fast, and I have no idea of what to get my husband for Christmas. Maybe I should focus on Thanksgiving first.
I was up sick in the night so I'm taking it easy today, I think it might have been the Strawberries I ate for my snack yesterday I threw them out this morning. I've been eating a mini bag of frosted animal cookies with my popcorn snack in the evenings, lol there are only 6 small cookies in a bag. I loved the declutter list, I'll read that again.3 -

Hello everyone! My name is Jennifer and I’m a single 50 year old. I have an American Blue rabbit (her name is Kismet). I have 3 children in their 20s and they have all blessed me…I went from zero to 4 grandchildren in the past 17 months and #5 is due in February! Son Marcus and DIL Ashley have Sophie (17 mo) and are due February 15th (girl). Daughter Sydney has Oliver (8 mo). Daughter Hunter and SIL Michael have Byron (15 mo) and Brayden (3 mo).
I love to rubber stamp (I’m a Stampin’ Up demo) and make cards. I'm an active member of my church, and also love horror movies. I have worked in Community Development at my County for over 19 years.
I have always been a yo-yo dieter, but mainly up. When I lose weight, I can never seem to keep it off for longer than a year. I have 58 pounds to lose (goal is 150). I prefer to track using the old-fashioned 2010 WW points program. I am using a 10 week weight loss planner and absolutely love it, but it still isn’t keeping me 100% motivated. I am using a full-length picture of myself I found recently after I had lost a lot of weight about 12 years ago and printed it up to keep in my wallet. That way, if I open my wallet to get vending machine money, I’ll see it and be deterred. Worked pretty good as I only hit the vending machine twice in the past few weeks.4 -
Excited to be part of the team!

What motivates you to stay committed to your weight loss and fitness goals, even when you face setbacks or challenges?
What helps me is being able to physically talk to someone about the issues I face with fitness and weight loss.5 -
Some of y’all may remember the health scare I had in March. Well yesterday I had a similar event happen. Chatting with the ER doctor and him agreeing nothing is wrong with my brain (my wife would disagree) or my heart he asked about what was happening. After sharing from March to now he let me know it wasn’t a stroke or a heart attack but a type of vertigo. He also informed me there are treatments to make it better. To me it is an awesome praise report!5

I thought I’d share. Those ears though….

WEIGH IN UPDATE
PLEASE WEIGH IN NOW: WOOHOO we're all weighed in!
Reminder To Weigh In Tomorrow To The Following: @DrewsAnna @LisaLisa1230

@19shmoo69 Those pup's ears are incredible wow! Vertigo sucks what kind of treatment are you planning on trying?
@bobboyardee We're happy you're here too!
@vegan4lyfe2012 I love your photo by your money that's a great idea!
@DrewsAnna Yum that soup recipe looks and sounds delicious! Thank you for sharing the photo with us too I'll need to try it.
QUESTION: I'm not really motivated it's more I don't want to be as sick as I was when my liver and diabetes were severe I quite like not projectile vomiting randomly throughout the day. Like being strong enough to do my own shopping too!
@trooworld She IS a lot of work! Yikes that sounds uncomfortable I'm always getting my micro current machine wires stuck in stuff and getting the pads torn off my back. Be careful of door handles and seatbelts! I hope the scan goes well. Do you get skinnytaste emails when new recipes come out? She just posted a roasted butternut squash soup with feta that sounds pretty tasty.
@TeresaW2024 Haha how funny playing the slot machine! Now you just push a button so definitely not as cool. I love your reasons you don't give up those are great ones. My neighbor's not quite crazy she's depressed and in pain and real emotional. She IS a lot of work I'm always on time and if I tell you I'll do something I won't back out unless I'm hospitalized so we're very different on respecting other's time. I hope the frustration with the software passes soon, very empathetic of you to think of everyone in Helene.
@baodell17724 Think of something to swap for the Swiss Colony order, maybe some seasonal teas of coffees? I can vouch for Trader Joe's Harvest blend tea, Candy Cane Lake at Christmas, and Yogi's holiday teas are good. I bought stuff to make healthy pumpkin spice creamer but if you're fasting you can't have that then.
@morenin I was going to say you need to keep changing weigh in days but since I'd have to report them I'm not recommending it! If you know you aren't gaining and it's body fluctuations you can always weigh a few days in a row and do the mean of them.
@AmbersWay You're down as a no-weigh-in for last week, it won't be a problem unless it happens two times in a row.
@FushiaKat There she is! Oh definitely check out what the new ride is in case you want to use it. Good call to take it easy between being sick and shots.
Hi team! Spent the morning at the greenhouse then grocery shopping. I got the grant application delivered with all pertinent information so fingers crossed we get it! Tomorrow night we're having a meeting with a few board members to plan Let It Snow, I'm one of the leaders for it and we need to start planning the “wheels” and helmets (qualifying children come and get to shop toys and get a “wheel” and helmet which is my charity's responsibility). My house is a huge mess from being on the go so much lately so I have some major cleaning to do tonight and tomorrow! I'm making those chicken enchiladas for us then one for a friend who's son just got out of the hospital.
Have a great Wednesday!2 -

That's a good idea. I'll see what happens this coming weigh in day, maybe it will be better this week. If not, the mean might be the best option for a more accurate view.0 -
@katmary71 wow you had a jam packed birthday!! Sounds like fun except for the flakey neighbour. Why is it there is always one in the neighborhood??
@Drewsanna that soup looks delicious!! Thank you for sharing the recipe, I think I will try to make a batch of that :-).
@trooworld You are such an organized person! My little ADHD brain has no organization going on🤣. Would you by any chance have a recipe hack for the Costco cilantro lime sauce that they use in their chicken taco kits? I love that and honestly buy the taco kits just for that, of course I eat the rest :-). I had to wear that heart monitor a few years ago, pain in the Butuzke! I was so glad to get those electrodes off and have a shower!
@TeresaW2024 I am a person who has to keep my blood sugar pretty constant, otherwise I definitely get dizzy. So many people say that before they go for a work out they either don't eat or eat very little, I tried that once, I felt dizzy and the next thing I knew I was on the floor 😣. My trainer at the time felt horrible because he was the one who told me I shouldn't be eating breakfast before I came. I agree with you, I don't know what happened to not only September but the whole summer!! hopefully things will get up with your software soon! I have a friend who is house in treasure Island Florida. Over the years they took such care to really make the house what they wanted. They had very cool things like a real jukebox from the 1960s, There were so many things that were irreplaceable. She said that she was grateful, their house is still standing, but the water line was 4 feet. The pictures were unbelievable, nothing was salvageable in their house and it was all full of muck, even a few dead fish.
@19shmoo69 that has to be such a relief to find out that it is vertigo and there is treatment! Those ears are everything! Do they always stay up or is it just the way she/he is sitting? Soooooo cute!!
I thought I was going to have a super chill day today and try to get some things done around the house. The things I had planned for out of the house took me three times as long as I anticipated, so I got nothing done around the house 🤣. Took both of the dogs to agility training tonight, Ty is actually really coming along. She will start doing as I ask and suddenly puppy brain will take over. Off she goes to the other side of the arena, but she does come back and she didn't used to do that 🤣.
I was able to stay on track today and tracked all my food :-).2 -
For the most part the puppy’s ears are always elevated.3
-
@19shmoo69 I’m sorry you have been diagnosed with vertigo but what great news that it’s not a stroke or heart attack. Getting treatment for vertigo is good news. AND…those ears!!!!
@Katmary71 I hope you get the grant that you applied for! How long do you have to wait to find out? What are the “wheels” you are discussing with the charity event you are putting together? Nice of you to provide a meal for your friend.
@laurelfit57 Yeah, if you have blood sugar issues, you need to watch it so you don’t end up on the floor. I’m so sorry your friend has suffered so much damage in their home. I’ve been watching many videos of the storm that people have posted. Just horrifying! How old is Ty? She is such a character.
@Cornanda, I hope everything went well with your parents.
Good morning! I was thrilled that my church program was up and running when I went into the office yesterday. I was stressed for nothing! Today, I’m going to take Joe out, and we are going to go to lunch and Hobby Lobby. I want to look for some fall decorations for our front porch and, of course, check out the Christmas stuff. I also want to run to Lowes and buy a mum. I think the weather here is finally done with summer. It's time to dig out the sweatshirts!!

@TeresaW2024 ty is 10 months old, I can't believe how to fast time has flown. So glad to hear that your church program was up and running again! It sounds like you are going to have a lovely time with Joe! You really get a Headstart on Christmas lol
@trooworld it's hard not to have a cluttered house with dogs lol. The sauce from Costco is a creamy sauce to put on the tacos. I have tried a few different recipes, but none of them really stand up. what is wrong with your monitor L O L?? I hope your doctors appointment wasn't too late, that's hard when you haven't had any fluids.
No idea what is up with me today I am just exhausted for some reason. I was supposed to do an agility class both with Vannie and Ty separately, I just did. Ty's as her was first,I bailed on Vannie I can't hardly keep my eyes open. This is just a quick check in, I'm going to put my feet up and try to stay awake until 9 PM1 -

@19shmoo69 I love your doggo and those cute ears ❤️❤️
Lol... what is this about a declutter list, I feel like I missed something.
It was a pleasant surprise to see a loss, I really didn't think I would. Tonight for dinner I had some chicken parmesan cracked pepper sausages (Aidells) and Spinach & cheese ravioli. I was quite surprised to see that hey we're made with all clean ingredients. Annnnd, it tasted so good.
Today was a really good day. I got a clean bill of health from my Thyrhoid Dr. So, I decided to walk home, I made it half a mile, lol... in my defense it was all up hill. Oh well, I tried...

WEIGH IN UPDATE
PLEASE WEIGH IN NOW: @DrewsAnna
Reminder To Weigh In Tomorrow To The Following: @askewcr
@TeresaW2024 Wheels: skateboards, bikes, scooters, roller skates, roller blades (then helmets), we've done bikes or scooters the last couple years and figure this would give those kids another option if they're stlil good with their bike from last year.

@Katmary71 Thanks and yes, I now remember that you have done this charity in the past. Such a nice thing to do for kiddos.
@trooworld I hope all goes well with the test. You need a restful weekend for sure!
Good morning! Yesterday, Joe and I had a very nice time. He did great and didn’t get dizzy once. We ate at our favorite BBQ place, Jim ‘n Nicks, and then went to Hobby Lobby. I didn’t buy anything for the fall, but I did buy a Christmas tree collar and some LED candles that I will put in the fireplace. Today, I will work out and get some housework done. Have a great day!

Thursday Ice Breaker Question
What type of exercise gear do you workout in?
I know with my walking/ running my wife makes sure I have good shoes. I lean towards Sauconey and Brooks (when they’re on sale). I used to buy the fancy name brand gym clothes hoping it would motivate me. Now it’s just shorts and a shirt. Heck they don’t even have to match. Lol2 -
What type of exercise gear do you workout in?
Nothing special. My workouts are at home, and usually just shorts and t-shirt. In the winter, I might workout in my long underwear. My shoes are vital - I have Brooks and Kuru. I rotate through 3 or 4 pairs at a time.

Send me prayers and good vibes, please. Hunter is on my last nerve. For those that are newer, Hunter is my youngest daughter. She's 24. She and her 2 babies (4 months and 16 months) have been living with me since April when she and her husband separated. They have been back together, but are having a hard time finding an apartment because their credit sucks. I won't allow him to live with us, too, as then they REALLY wouldn't motivate to get a place. Anyway, they drive me insane. Messes everywhere, rearranging my kitchen, acting like I don't help with anything (when I seriously do)...basically just pissing me off beyond all levels of pissivity. Sorry for being so foul. I tell them all the time they need to get out. They have until December 1st. I just want to pull my hair and scream. Instead, I'm constantly reaching for the worst foods possible with my feelings of being so out of control with so many aspects of my life.
On a lighter note, Oliver touched grass for the first time yesterday...Grammy had to save him!

Do they/y'all live in a state-county-city which provides housing assistance for families with young children. In NJ, where I once lived, they do. Though they do have a waiting list. If your daughter is being ungrateful (I'm guessing she's not working, and contributing to YOUR expenses), maybe she needs a dose of tough love, as many states do have shelters for mothers (only) and their children. Dads usually must go to a men's shelter to sleep, unfortunately.
Sending you a truck full of stamina to get through all this angst!!!

@DrewsAnna Your weight wasn't up when I responded, for some reason it hadn't posted the night before and I reposted it in the morning (had absolutely no time to see if anyone posted before I woke up as I was running out the door) so I missed @micaroo4 's meme too. Forgive me for it not reposting on time.
WEIGH IN UPDATE

Reminder To Weigh In Tomorrow: @Cornanda @bethanie0825 @davors19 @nz20000 -
@Cornanda Welcome back!
@TeresaW2024 Grant I think it was mid November. If we'd been more organized (I've been trying to get the treasurer to meet for grant writing prep and he hasn't made time yet) we could've asked for more but I did my best with the short time we had. That's great news on the program being up! There's some beautiful lush mums at Costco and Trader Joe's right now, I tend to get them for my birthday and didn't this year but have three from the last few years. Sounds like you and Joe had a great day sounds like the perfect fall things to do.
@trooworld I got everything for the butternut squash soup recipe but probably won't get around to it until next week, it does sound amazing! Feta is one of my favorite cheeses and I love butternut squash. Weirdly Trader Joe's only had pumpkin seeds with shells on or pumpkin spice-flavored no plain raw ones to sprinkle on the top of the soup so now I'm on a search for them. Those electrodes are so annoying, between purses, door handles, and seatbelts they're real hard to get around with! The woman I'm working with gave me a holder that I can put on my pocket and that helps. I'm glad you're done with it!
@laurelfit57 Sounds like you really needed the rest I'm glad you chose to take it easy. I'm doing that tonight I'm totally worn out and having margaritas has my pain worse today so I think I'm going to sleep in tomorrow.
@DrewsAnna @micaroo4 Did an awesome cleaning/decluttering challenge for the last week of September, definitely scroll back through the September thread. I need to do that and save them she did an amazing job! Congratulations on the loss! I love Aidells sausages. Great news on the thyroid yay!
@micaroo4 Send me one of those Ironmen I need one!
ICE BREAKER QUESTION Shorts and sports bra if I'm at home (leggings when it's not so hot) then for the farm leggings and a tee and these days a flannel as it's a little colder. The gym I always wore leggings and a tee, I didn't realize I loved fun leggings since I always just wore black to fade into the woodwork.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Sending prayers up for all of you! Hugs I'm sorry things are so stressful right now, you have definitely been a huge help to Hunter and the kids. Poor Oliver that prickly green stuff is the WORST! I just want to give him the biggest hug! I wish I could come pick you up and treat you to see that new Smile horror movie and get your mind off things!
Hi everyone! Our meeting last night went well planning things out, I was up late and couldn't sleep well after margaritas and have been exhausted all day. Greenhouse this morning went by fast, I'm happy all the garden club greenhouse stuff will be out for the sale soon, we're moving it tomorrow afternoon to the building our sale is in. My Dad visited for a bit and helped with some things that needed repairs here. I think I forgot to say I rented a garden bed at a community garden, after we get the plant sale behind us I can get dirt there and bring the tray I have in the greenhouse for winter. Sucks as I wanted to put money into garden beds at home but until I get the deer to stay out I'm cutting back on my garden. I got my x-ray done for my surgeon appointment (almost a year since the fusion revision/another fusion) and took my friend a big meal, turns out Covid is going through the family so I added teas, soups, and noodles. Still trying to get my head back to eating better, I was doing well until my medication issue too. Anyhow have a great Friday!1
