ICE BREAKER QUESTION: Are you in love?
My husband and I met when we were 18 and were placed on the same bowling team by mutual friends. That means we have known each other for 38 years, married for 33 of those. And Yes! We are in love!

@trooworld - I tried Voltaren. I wasn't using it 3-4 times a day, because it's really yucky to apply. And I didn't feel like I got any relief with it. I do get relief taking Curamed, which is a curcumin supplement. Good luck with the Voltaren, but if it doesn't help, maybe ask your doctor about Curucmin. Just be aware that not all curcumin supplements are the same. The first one I tried was Life Extension Curcumin Elite, and it worked great, but it gave me runaway diarrhea. But Rich was able to take what was left in the bottle, so not everyone has the same reaction.

@trooworld I hope the Voltaren works for you and that you can get the injections in your knee. Congrats on 25 years of marriage. You are right that it’s not easy but with the right person it is so worth it.
@Cornanda Such a sweet story of how you met your husband. Was it love at first sight?
Good morning! Today is our annual chili cook-off at the church. Pastor and I didn’t even think when we set this date that it was Super Bowl weekend.
But we have eight chili entries, so I guess most of our people don’t care about football. We will start at 5 pm, and I told Joe I would have him home before kick-off. I am not making chili and just plan to show up and award the winners, eat a little bit (NO dessert table for me!), and take my old man home.

ICE BREAKER QUESTION: Are you in love?
This is a unique question, very personal. Imagine if someone said no and their partner stumbled across the post.
With that said I am in love. Haven’t always been. Truth be told , I didn’t know or understood what love was or meant. Living in the south it is common to hear phrases such as “my old man” or “my old lady” my wife told me from day one she will never be my “old lady”. In fact when people ask about my old lady I let them know i don’t have an old lady I have a wife.
There are many names and titles that people use instead of wife. I have to admit I don’t always use wife. Sometimes I say she’s my bride or she’s my beloved. In addition we do have nicknames for each other. I call her my lil punkybear and she calls me her sugarboog.
Yes, I am in LOVE.1 -

@Cornanda 38 year relationship. Wow, that's awesome!
@micaroo4 Interesting. I will keep the curcumin in mind. Thank you for this information and sharing your experience.
@TeresaW2024 Thank you, me too! Oh, we've been married 20 years but have been together for 25. The right person is totally worth it! The chili cook-off sounds fun, I hope it goes well and that people show up despite it being Superbowl.
@19shmoo69 I think it's sweet that you call your wife your beloved or bride sometimes and that you have nicknames for each other.
Hi all. DH and I ended up going for coffee in the afternoon. We went in our favorite neighborhood. There was a vegan food festival going on so we walked through it. The food smelled good. In the park there (which is all concrete so why is it called a park? LOL), they had a rollerskating party going on retro style. No rollerblades in that party! It was fun to watch. Yes, the weather was pretty good yesterday. We went a few more places while we were out. I made Cottage Cheese Keto Cloud Bread Pizza for dinner. It makes about 8 small slices but I could only eat one. It was really good.

Way to go team, 2nd place by pounds and 3rd place by percentage! A special shout-out goes to @lislisa123 for pulling in 2nd place by pounds and to @vegan4lyfe2012 @laurelfit57 for making it onto the leaderboard!
@laurelfit57 @sleepygirl79 Congrats on the losses!
Hi all. Yesterday didn't go as planned: I was supposed to go meet my old boss for coffee and then go to a museum with her but when I got up to leave to meet her, I felt very nauseous and a bit off-kilter. I decided to still go because she was already on her way down to the coffee shop. I only ended up staying for coffee for about 30 minutes and we skipped the museum. I went back to my car to leave and I threw up right there by the car like 3 times. I sat there for a while and then drove home and threw up about 3 more times. I got in bed and slept for 3 hours and woke up and felt a little better. Today, I feel okay so far. I think this nausea incident was, like I said due to vertigo, or I haven't been drinking enough water and it's related to my weight loss surgery. I seem to remember them telling me not drinking enough water can cause nausea. It's a learning experience. When I woke up, we watched some of the Puppy Bowl. We aren't into football, but we do enjoy the Puppy Bowl.

@trooworld Retro rollerskating is so fun! I wonder if I could even skate after all these years. I was fairly good at it and spent many weekends at the local roller-rink skating and flirting with the boys! Yikes, so sorry you got sick and glad you feel better. I saw some puppy bowl clips this morning. They are all so cute!
Good morning! The chili cook-off was fun last night, and I only ate one small bowl of chicken chili and didn’t touch the dessert table other than to get Joe something. This has been a hard week with all the stress about the house, so I’m not feeling great about tomorrow’s weigh-in. I’m not sure what today will bring with the house loan, but I’m praying it doesn’t cause me any more hassles and that we can just move forward. My niece sent me a picture of her bathroom window and its mold issues. No matter how much she cleans it the mold comes back. No wonder they are all always sick in that place. I can’t wait for them to leave and be in a clean home!

Beautiful baby Amelia Kay joined us last Wednesday the 5th weighing 7 lbs 4 oz, which the doctors say is good. The bigger, the better for surgery. They are able to go in through her side to fix the coarctation of her aorta instead of open heart, so that is a huge praise! Please keep your prayers coming for tomorrow's surgery at 7am. Here she is -
I did some stress eating the past week, but didn't go overboard. Happy to see a 1 pound loss today. I did a lot of prepping the past couple days - roasted chickpeas, prepped my huge salad container, 2 blocks of tofu marinated (air fried the Sweet Asian one yesterday and will air fry the Balsamic one today), cooked a batch of millet and took 2 containers of beans out of the freezer. Found a great podcast I've been enjoying - Power on Plants.
Oliver turned 1 yesterday and Hunter turns 25 tomorrow. We're planning to celebrate their Birthdays in a week or so since everyone has been preoccupied with Amelia. Here's Ollipop's picture from yesterday -
How did I get so lucky with such adorable grands?!? Oh - and someone asked to see Kismet. Thinking maybe it was you, @Katmary71 ? Here's a selfie I took last night when I settled down for some petting and tea.
I hope everyone has a great week!
2025 is MY year!

Oh - one more thing. I decided to create an Instagram account where I'll post pictures of my meals...hopefully daily. Thought it would be a good way to keep accountable with healthy food choices while I get rid of these 60 extra pounds. You're welcome to follow me, if you want.

Yes! I actually lost 5 pounds but only because I was super sick and eating soup and drinking water all week! The universe works in mysterious ways???1 -
WEIGH IN UPDATE
WEIGH INS DUE NOW: @littlebabekitty @jellytree @AprilRaineyBattle @AnAbsoluteDiva
Reminder To WEigh In Tomorrow To @TeresaW2024 @FushiaKat
@vegan4lyfe2012 I just followed you on Instagram, think mine is KathyAva (same pic as here). Praying for the beautiful Amelia Kay! Kismet is beautiful.
@bobboyardee Oh no hope you're feeling better soon! Silver lining losing weight while sick I guess but not a fun way to do it.
@trooworld The rollerskating looks so fun! Oh no I'm sorry to hear about being sick. I wish I lived by you (for many reasons) I love puppy bowl and the kitty version over football!
@TeresaW2024 I'm glad your niece will be away from those mold issues! Awesome job on the chili cookoff you have willpower of steel!
@micaroo4 Thank you the nausea/fever is coming and going, I'm taking everything I can to get over this! I appreciate the good wishes!
Hi team! My cold/whatever is geting worse with nausea and a fever, I wanted to check in since I haven't been around much this week. Tomorrow I finally see a family practice doctor to get her to order the tests the rheumatologist wants me to have, so ridiculous she can't order her own tests/ I made the Panera Autumn Harvest soup dupe for dinner but am staying in my room now that my roommate is home as I don't want to get her sick. Going to freeze some since she's making chili verde tomorrow for dinner. Have a great Tuesday!0 -
I don't know how time goes so fast, I thought it was just a couple of days since I was on here.
@trooworld I use the extra strength Voltaren, usually it's pretty good. Your day out at that park looked lovely!!!! I honestly can't even imagine that right now, it is -42°C here🥶. I am so sorry that you were sick! What is a puppy bowl?
@TeresaW2024 lucky you with the chilli cook off, one of my favourite foods! Good for you staying away from the dessert table!! I can only imagine the stress that you are under right now, trying to do such a great thing and being held up in the process.
@Vegan4lyfe2012 your granddaughter is absolutely beautiful! She will definitely be in my thoughts tomorrow. You absolutely do have adorable grandchildren and bunnies🥰.
@katmary71 I am so sorry that you are feeling so sick. I'm glad that you are seeing your GP tomorrow, sometimes the medical system is so complicated!
I honestly thought it had just been a couple of days since I checked in here, the older I get the faster time goes! My biggest time waster is trying to keep my dogs entertained as we are all housebound. We don't have any classes from Friday to Monday and when it is too cold to get the dogs out, I spend a lot of time trying to work their brains and do silly things. If I throw a soccer ball exactly right, Ty can bop it with her nose and keep it in the air for three bops😂.
It has been in the high -30°C here since last week, today was the worst at -42°. We are going to Cabo to an all inclusive for a week and leaving on Saturday, I can't wait! While we are gone the weather is supposed to be -30°+C. I am really hoping it is going to warm up by the time we get back.
I have been on track with my food, tracking every day and just doing exercise exercises at home, trying to get in shape to do lots of walking in Mexico lol.
@katmary71 we are leaving very early Saturday morning, so I think I will do my way in this week on Friday morning, and then not again until Monday (it will be 10 days). We get back late on Saturday night, I swell up on an airplane and if I weigh on Sunday morning it won't be my true weight, so I will wait until Monday if that's OK0 -

I am up a whole pound this week. I know I have not been over on the calories so I can only guess it's the workouts. I am sore today! I am working my way thru 21 Day Fix Extreme along with the step classes I teach and attend plus some other stuff here and there.
I am behind on everyone's news
@Katmary71 - sorry you are under the weather, hope you feel better soon.
@laurelfit57 - I hope you enjoy your trip and get a break from the cold! We are planning a trip to Mexico this year also (this summer).
@vegan4lyfe2012 - beautiful babies and bunny! Prayers going up for Amelia Kay.
