Morning everyone
Sabotage is everywhere
. I got in yestersay and someone loving left me a kit kat on my desk ( some others got them as well). I sighed and put it my desk drawer out of sight but it was still on my mind. Then someone bought in cake as a celebration and I held on my cup of tea as hard as I could. BUT I managed both items - go me!
@theslightedgeforever _ thanks for your support. I am glad the tooth is out and is no longer a bother even though there was no pain
@trooworld - How did the first day back go? Did it derail you? I hope not. BTW - why the name Trooworld?
@cbabie - Have you spoken to your Dr about "finding a reason to be here on earth" to get some support? I am not sure if you are on medication, if not you may need to consider some or if you are already then your DR needs to review it. Does the church have a counsellor you can speak to? I can only send you cyber hugs from Aussie
I have to go to a users group today and at the end of the meeting - there is a networking function - Please let me be strong and just stick to water and (hopefully fruit if it is there)

morning: Running late, Thank you so much for all the encouragement. I have never seen a Dr and most likely will not. LOL I did however, make myself spend the money to join the gym today. I just got back from my workout and love the feel of moving again. One step forward.
I will catch up on personals later, I have an appointment I have to get ready for.

Morning everyone
@trooworld - I am glad the plan you set for yourself this week is working for you. Positives is youmade a pland anf followed through.
@cbabie - It does feels great whenyou are able to move again. Does the gym have a treadmill? Glad you are moving foward
@theslightedgeforever - Hope allis well withy ou
My news is I got a call from my MIL yesterday arvo but cold not take as I was in a conferance. When I was able to take the call which was in the taxi on the way back to work. I found a VM that told that FIL had fallen over in the backyard and they could ot get it up. I rang back but a neighbour helped her get him to his bed. Ambos was called but he refused to go with them and so they let him stay on the condition that he goes to his drs today. By he time I got there, he was walking and eating his dinner and saying nothing is wrong. I stayed there for a few hours until he went to bed then came home via takeaway. He is an old reprobat so I am working from home until lunch and then taking him to the DR as he refused to let his wife (MIL) go with him. MIL thinks I will be able to walk into the appointment to make sure that he tells the DR everything - it is going to be a diifcult battle. He is 83 and generally not well. MIL is 87
Catch you all later

Afternoon, I went to the gym again and I felt good about going. I had a 2 hour meeting and came home and took a nap. It is so windy here today, now I have a headache...but all is good, Thank you all for all of the support you give here. It really means a lot. I also know there are some choices we just have to make on our own.
@trooworld I think you sent us your weather/barometric pressure..LOL Well great job on "maintaining" You go girl. I saw a picture of myself and I look like one of those old lady grandmas...Yuck..hence me joining the gym
@TrishasTime I am so sorry about your FIL, sounds like my dad. I hope everything goes well at the Dr. office.
Cbabie0 -
Morning everyone
@cbabie - glad you are happy with your gym and feel good coming out of it
@trooworld - congratulations on maintaining - I am actually looking forward to WI tomorrow - but we will see how it goes. Sorry you had such a bad headache.
@theslightedgeforever - Hope you had fun when you went out of town
Well my FIL was compliant with me as everyone expected. He had to do a 20 point check they do over here for "unknown" falls. Unknown being he did not trip or slip. He is blaming his knee, so the Dr organised an xray of that making it now the 21 point check. BP, Heart rate, blood going to head all good. Just waiting on blood test, urine tests to come in as well as the result from the xray. He is getting more and more unstable on his feet every week. BTW so even though I was not a work yesterday I still worked 5.5 hours in themorning before I went to pick FIL up and another 3 when I came home. I seem to get alot more done when I work fromhome
Today is Friday and I am glad that the weekend is tomorrow
Take care everyone

Morning all!
I haven't made it to the gym yet, but I have been in my room listening to my favorite worship music and just enjoying this time. It brings such a peace to my spirit.
@trooworld Well if it like here, sometimes it will rain across the street and not on my side..LOL The company I worked for originally Walsh Bros was real big on St Patricks day, we have a parade, we used to have a float and green beer...that was years ago. We always had fun as a company, the owner was a true family man. It was a family business and I am grateful I got to work for them.
@TrishasTime I agree when I worked at home, I always got more done. I am praying that the test results come back with answers. I agree with Trooworld....[[SKINNY VIBES]].
@theslightedgeforever where did you go?
Cbabie0 -
Morning everyone
Thankyou for your (((skinny vibes))). I was granted a loss of 3 pounds - woohoo. Now not to bugger it up next week.
@trooworld - Enjoy you walk. The only thing they celebrate here for St Patricks seem to be a the pubs. I have a 4km walk on Mothers day in May where it will be very pink
@cbabie - Music does do alot for the soul, it can bring such joy FIL test are slowly coming back and today there does not seem to have alot amiss except an infection. All the test will be by Wednesday, so will know then.
@theslightedgeforever - Hope where ever you are - you are enjoying yourself
Today, I am heading out in 30 min to take Grand daughter to the shops for a top that she simply must have. Her money I guess. So Jess the wonder dog and I will drop her off and go through McDonalds for a coffee and then go and back park and wait for her. She has a driving lesson at 11.20am so she can not be any longer than an hour. I need to go food shopping (YUK!) and then we have a local event to go to this afternoon . After that we are heading out to see a long time friend sing in a band. We have known this friend for over 40 years. He suffered a heart attack at 20 and then another 10 years ago. Three years ago he had lap band surgery and lost over 100kg and had successfully kept it off
Hope you all are hving an interesting day and I hope it does not rain for you @trooworld

Morning everyone
Lovely day here. My plans. DH has gone with the younger dog to go fog trial training. Son is coming over to install anew security camera for the front door. GD is driving up to see her mother (40 min away). We are using my car as she struggles with doing everything at once in a manual (changing gears, whilst breaking, whilst being observant) .
In my day you only had a choice of a manual. I off to see my bestie for a cup of tea on the way back from dropping GD off. But my best news is yesterday was WI day and for the first time in a very long time, my mentality did not go down the path of "I can eat anything I like today and work hard for the next 6. I was just over (35 cal) my goal today - so super pleased with myself.
@trooworld - How did your walk go, did your knees give your grief? Did it rain? Most importantly did you have fun?? Yes pink is the breast cancer walk. We had fun watching - only stayed for a couple of hours. but it brought back memories of yesteryear.
Catch you
Trish0 -
Trishastime What is fog trial training. Yaaay on your mental breakthrough. I’ve had similar weigh in thoughts. Problem is that strategy can work but I think it doesn’t go towards building good habits. My mother died of breast cancer so hooray to all those that will walk. woohoo on 3 lbs.
Trooworld you are right a maintain is better than a gain. Now do it right this week. How was your walk. Did it keep raining.
Cbabie. Good for you for joining the gym and going. Joining is the easy part. I find it hard to get there each day.
Ok I’ve had a headache for two days and I’m just tired Did you pass the barometric thing to me. Plus weekends are hard for me to get in here. I’m such a routine person. I need to schedule my MFP time differently so I can be consistent.

Good morning everyone
It is Monday and therefore back to work. I have a dentist appointment after work for a possible root canal and I think dinner will be a non event for me. I am having a mini beef roast, so I can just put it in before I go to the dentist and being it out when I get home. DH can then deal with it.
@theslightedgeforever - I meant to say dog not fog trial. Dog trial is where the dog has to herd sheep around a set track with the owner using whistles or calls to get them to do it in the quickest time without breaking any rules. I hear you when you say routine. If I do not log on here as I eat my brekkie, I have lost the chance for the rest of the day.
@trooworld - Glad you enjoyed yourself. Great meal planning for the week. Is there a computer tech at work, or your work goes to if your work has computer issues, that may be able to help. Not sure what went wrong with your computer, but if the hard disk is okay - you can add the hard disk as an extra drive on your computer and still have access to the files.

@trooworld - sorry to hear about your headache. It certainly sounds very bad to have have all those pain killers. SSD drives are nice. I did not end up having a root canal - it was an old silver filling he replaced but because I am having pressure pain - I now need 2 crowns. The first appointment is 90 min. I thought I would bring my phone and earplugs in so I can listen to my music. He wants it done before Easter0
-
Trooworld. Sounds like you have the menus planned for the week. Your walk sounded fun. I love you asking outside. I need to figure out how to transfer over my music to my new phone. It used to be so easy. I’m sure I would walk more than I do now. Hope your headache is better. Have you been staying within your points this week?
Trishastime. I understand dog better. Lol. I had pictured your dogs roaming out in the thick fog trying to find something and they were timed. Yikes on the tooth. What good choices did you make?
For me I did not have 2 Hershey’s kisses that I was planning. I added spinach to my cheese and flatbread I thought about making a new program for exercise. Talked it over with my son while he was exercising (at least I’m thinking about it)
Cbabie. Did you go to the gym1 -
morning everyone
@trooworld - sorry to hear the tablets did not fix your headache. Have you checked your eyes, if your work in an office, can you out up a monitor filter to reduce the glare?
@theslightedgeforever - Glad you made healthy choices, thinking about exercise is just one step from doing it. It is 5am here and it is like the middle of the night - you just want to stay in bed.
I have delayed my crowns to after Easter because I do not want anything to go wrong over the break when everything is closed. My heathy choice every morning is that I have 2 poached eggs on a muffin. Very high in protein, less carbs. It keeps me going until 11am when I have fruit.
Hope you both have a great day
Trish0 -
Evening all,
Okay this is the third time that I've tried typing this... I've typed 2 long post and lost them both. I have to run out the door to church, but I wanted to touch base and let you know.... yes I've been going to the gym. I met with a personal trainer yesterday and he thinks it's my rotator cuff maybe that's giving me issues with my shoulder and not my bed... after doing exercises and stretches it does feel a little better so maybe he's right we'll just wait and see..
Cbabie0 -
Trooworld. I have a iPhone. It was easier before iTunes changed their format If it’s not broke...... okay back to tracking each bite. I don’t know why it’s such an easy habit to fall out of. I did my first full day of tracking today. I have been sporadic too after months and months of tracking. Can you figure out what triggers your migraines?
Trishastime. So when you say muffin is that what we Americans call an English muffin? Our regular muffins are like cupcake shaped. I know we use different words sometimes. I have just been introduced to poached eggs and I love them. My dad always fried our eggs.
Cbabie. Rotator cuff That sounds like your dad I hope your trainer can give you exercises to strengthen the area around it plus some stretches for it Good for you for going to the gym
Today was a good day for me. Tracked all my food and was under I exercised 15 min with Leslie Sansone video drank 7 glasses of water.
I also have preplanned my exercise for tomorrow. I found this website called Freetrainer.com it will do a program for you I’m going out with friends for breakfast so my goal is to exercise before I go to make sure it gets done0 -
Morning all,
I am VERY slowly getting back to a lifestyle of my choices for good health. I have always loved to workout, always felt better when I did. I have never been one to sit around. My DH loves to just sit and watch the tube at night...yuck. I know we are getting older, but I saw what inactive did to my parents. I don't have the money for the gym, but I don't have the money to be sick. LOL So gym fees vs hospital and Dr's...yes easy choice. I am trying to get back to my healthy eating as well. My problem is I want to do everything all at once and do it perfectly. Talk about self sabotage.
@trooworld My DH comes home from work with those same headaches. Have you tried peppermint oil to your temples? Sometime the peppermint is too strong for people and they need a carrier oil first. Even just smelling it sometimes helps me. Sounds like you are on a plan to get you momentum going again, good for you!
@theslightedgeforever good for you for tracking every bite...send your thoughts over here to me..LOL I am tying, but yes it is a hard thing to get back to. I have figured out one thing...when my DH gets home at 2:45, my life seems to stop...any thing that I had wanted to get done does not happen after that. If I am not sitting in the same room with him he thinks something is wrong...so trying to get a plan..you know it's only been 7 months since I got let go, you would think I would have figured this out already.
@TrishasTime I have never had a poached egg..I love eggs, but I will have to look up how to make one. I am not even sure of that. LOL
Cbabie0 -
Hey, everyone. My name is Myranda and I did WW for a while and always felt pretty deprived, so I'm trying to get healthy with MFP now. Feel free to add me because I don't really have people to talk to on my feed!!0
-
Trooworld. Well you can’t change the weather can you. My ds is in MD and covered with snow. I bet he threw away his gloves in January when he left Iowa to head to TX saying I’m not going to need these again. Lol He probably thought springtime in MD was springtime. He didn’t have to go into work yesterday because of a snow day. Isn’t it funny how I love my iPhone for the same reason you hated it. I have to figure out how to download all my music in the cloud at once vs song by song. It used to be plug in click done Guess I’ll go ask Siri. Did you pretrack your food. I should have done that as my last meal made me go over I did get in another full day of tracking
Cbabie. I have the same thing with my mil each night. I have to sit there for two and a half hours So on my Trello board I have cards that have a pink label which is all the stuff I can do while I’m sitting there. I have same problem on weekends. It’s hard to get stuff done because of DH but I’m trying to train myself to balance my need for getting things done vs his need to have me present with him. It’s still a choice though. While I dont want to make him mad I need to put on my own oxygen mask first. So aim for balance
@thelistenlady Welcome to the group. Finding the right meal plan is hard I think. I was doing well for 4 months then BAM started gaining again. I’m one that doesn’t like to be deprived either. I’m sure some childhood thing. So I eat what I want but I’m working on portion control and frequency. While trying to add in good things for me slowly. This week it’s salad in a jar. It’s ready to grab when lunchtime rolls around
So I did my weights before I went to breakfast. Usually I would have said I’ll do better tomorrow But I did better today Go me!
Tomorrow walking outside is planned
Oh yearly blood tests came back normal except for my hemoglobin. A little low and I can’t decide if I should take iron pills or not My sugar levels got a “watch it”. But no meds prescribed so I’m good with that. My goal is to have lowered that number by next year. I still didn’t get my EKG results yet.0 -
@trooworld I don't really have anything working for me yet! lol0

My comment was a lot longer but seemed to have been cut off.0

Afternoon all:
Wow my day just got away from me. I went to the gym, was there an hour and a half. So yes this is good for me.
I am trying to get into the good eating habits I have done for years, but last year just was not a good year. So one thing at a time and I will get and keep my health.
@thelistenlady Welcome!! Glad to have you on this board. I think we have all done WW at one time in our life..Some of us have been at this for years, some not...you will find the one thing that works for you.
@theslightedgeforever I can tell you are really upset about his gloves...LOL I know you care, I also know you believe adult children (per say) should be adultish. I am still trying...:) I miss my Iphone!!!
@trooworld Hope your day was without a headache...and you tell that thought in your head to go pick on someone else...you have a plan and it should leave you alone..LOL That's what I try to tell my head when the PB calls my name.
Cbabie0 -
Trooworld so did you eat lunch? Trying to figure out why you were so hungry. So now we know you need a Plan B for snacks So next time you are hungry and don’t like the snacks you brought
A. Is it you don’t like it or wasn’t in the mood for them. B keep extra snacks of something you do like in your desk C keep extra snacks of something you do like in your friend’s desk D. Add a solution. For the ravenous problem could you keep a protein bar or something similar in your purse/car for on the way home
thelistenlady. I have found if I use an emoji from my phone then everything else after that gets cut off. MFP wants you to use theirs. So tell me about the kind of things you like to eat for breakfast
Cbabie good for you for going to the gym. Exercise is a great stress reliever plus endorphin booster to help fight depression Adult children......yeah
So I fully tracked another day. Stayed within my calories and walked outside for 30 min. Another successful day Tomorrow will be my rest day0 -
Morning all!
I have a Mary Kay Conference starting this afternoon and until Saturday evening, so not sure what I am doing about food yet. Plus no gym time, but it's one weekend. LOL My shoulder really hurt yesterday, but I think it's because I benched pressed and need to just stay away from that for a bit. I got my hair cut and my DGD did my make up and it was fun and I looked younger she said..LOL
@trooworld I am glad to see you still so positive. You are an awesome lady. So glad you didn't have a headache.
@theslightedgeforever great job on getting back on track and staying on your plan. Might as well walk outside when you can, the kind of winter we have had here in AZ makes me wonder what kind of Summer we will have...LOL
Cbabie0 -
Morning all
Very busy time at work for me. I am on leave next week, but will also dial in to get some testing done.
Glad everyone is back on board and having fun.
@cbabie - Glad you like your Gym
@theslightedgeforever - glad you got back on track again
@trooworld - Glad you were able to enjoy something at work
@thelistenlady - Hello - welcome. Which part of the world are you from.
Off now - need to buy some carpet for when our tenant moves out
Take care
Trish0 -
Trooworld. Did you check out low point WW snacks on instagram? They have such good ideas on there. I like your haircut. Seems like life is getting back to normal for you. I see weight loss in your future
Cbabie Enjoy the conference and make good food choices. You can always walk outdoors even for 10 min when there is a break in the action
Trishastime what color of carpet did you buy? Do you have your meals and exercise all planned out during this busy time?
Fully tracked today and Friday. Under cals today but over on Friday.
No Exercise today. Rest day was Friday.
Hormones got the better of me today and could not motivate myself to get up and move0 -
Morning everyone
@theslightedgeforever - Congrats on your weightloss - well done.
@trooworld - Love love love your hair!! It does indeed make you look younger
The carpet we bought is brown - it is supposed to a party arpet where it is hard wearing and resist stains (apparently good for tenanted properties). I have planned my meals, not sure about exercise yet but I can tell you we are having ratatouille tonight. Did gardening yesterday. Put some new plants at front and transferred on to the side garden (DH) thinks the side garden is here and threaten to pull them out.
Hope everyone is okay
Trish

@trooworld - It seems it is mainly you and me at the moment. Party carpet is built to resist stains etc. It is more a flat carpet hard wearing.
I am pff to the dentist again today - wish me luck0 -
Trooworld. We have to do more than try Talking to all of us here. I was listening to a Health First podcast this week It’s a Dr from Houston and he said Trying is for losers. You have to take determined action. So what action will you be taking tomorrow. For me it will be exercise. So when will be your next appt with him. That will give you a timeframe to set a goal and wow the socks off of him. How is the makeup habit? I’m working hard on my daily habits as I know they are connected to my weight loss. I guess because I feel successful in other areas
Trishastime the carpet sounds nice Light carpets always leaves a pathway. Good for you for planning your meals out Now onto tackling your exercise. How about something simple as a walk outside
So I fully tracked today. Went over calories and no exercise

Morning all!
I am sorry if it seems that I abandoned you. This weekend was exhausting, I was in conferences Friday, all day Saturday, church which when I sing I am gone and busy for many hours...came home exhausted, ( had someone in the house with toothache and up all night Sat & Sun...all day yesterday at church moving chairs, laying "fake" grass, it will be like this all week. We are getting ready for our Easter Carnival...I just got home from the gym..first time since Friday.
@trooworld I love your new hair!!! you look beautiful. Good for you for getting into a routine of health for your face. I was so tired, I fell asleep in my chair and didn't take my make up off...Do you know that sleeping with your makeup on is not really good....(Even though the movies the women wake up beautiful) LOL Maybe you are creating a NEW normal!!
@theslightedgeforever good for you for tracking, even if you went over...better than I am doing. I keep trying to get it back together each day...Yes I heard you...trying is for losers..LOL
@TrishasTime Sorry I haven't been here, thank you and Trooworld for holding down the fort...Yea new carpet..I love the smell of new. Hope your dentist apt went well.
Okay guys gotta hit the shower.
