Wow! Miss a couple of days and miss a lot of posts!
Still stress eating and not getting in enough water and not doing at least upper body workouts like I could be doing.
I gir my ABI test yesterday, the one where they were trying to figure out why my feet have been cold lately. The test was normal so there is no reason why they should be cold. I talked with one if my nurse neighbors and she used the word "idiopathic" just a fancy word for "we don't know why". The doctors office did say if it continues to let them know. Several days they seemed normal so I don't know what's going on.
Last night at work I was on the line I would be in if I go to 1st shift. It went so much better. I was there for 2 different rotations, so a total of 5 hours. I remembered to breathe and didn't think about it so much and I think that helped a lot.
I haven't talked with my boss yet but I do need to. Need to find out what they are thinking for me.3 -
@minstrelofsarcasm i sure hope you feel better soon. What an awful thing to have to go through. I feel it lurking around every corner as I’m in health care for mental health and substance abuse and we see people every day for labs and meds.3

I'm trying to catch up on posts. I had my neck surgery yesterday morning. I should be getting out of hospital today. I came yesterday at 6am. I woke up from surgery around 12:15 and didn't go back to sleep until 1:30am. Then I was awake at 4. I was hoping with all the drugs they give you I would have a good sleep except for when they would wake me but that didn't happen. One of the nurses said you never be able to guess I just had surgery because i can get up pretty well to go to the bathroom. If they would let me take a walk around the hallway i would. I'm hoping to start walking a little next week. I will definitely be watching my food intake. My sons girlfriend made me a cupcake, she works in a bakery, and i didn't eat it. I only had one meal yesterday and it was healthy. They also send a paper on your tray telling you how many calories your meals are. I am going to order my breakfast soon, I can only eat soft foods so breakfast is easy.4

Today is Friday and it has been an uneventful week. Lots of walking to counterbalance too much eating. I enjoyed my comfort meal so much Wednesday that I had the leftovers for supper again last night. I have succeeded in reaching my strength goals this week and have done great on the water. Well maybe not great, probably just adequate! I think I will install the water app on my phone. Amazing how we listen to our phone and ignore our own mind! Below is a picture that I took while walking our farm paths this week. The weather has been super here in NC and I have enjoyed being outside. Wishing all of you a great weekend. KEEP ON KEEPING ON………………………………….
@tryingagain5 – Great to read that work went better for you and that the test on your feet were normal. I hope that the normal remains with you.
@minstrelofsarcasm – congrats on the weight loss. Great to read that the Covid symptoms have diminished and that you were able to have the cryotherapy. Sounds like the owner is a very compassionate soul. You are soooooo right, it is one day at a time for most of us, heck: I minute at a time some days. Prayers for a speedy and complete recovery.
@brown267 - good step totals
@pacsnc6 – congrats on the weight! Bojangles sounds good, I love the country ham biscuit there and now my mind is on that:):):) Also great to hear of family get togethers during Covid. Where there is a will there is a way.
@kiane50 – congrats on the weight, your diet sounds spot on! I am also trying to get more water, I may try one of those phone apps or have Alexia remind me about every hour or so. I seem to listen to her:):):)
@Podperson1 – freeze the cake in individual pieces or make your neighbors real happy!
@Cafelelia – Sounds like a good weekend planned for Thanksgiving. Wish y’all could get together but I guess with Zoom at least you will see each other. Enjoy your drinks with the friends, this pandemic has really made us realize how important friends are to us. So good to hear the school has made accommodations for your son’s education. I am a former educator and find that when there is a problem there is usually a solution. Getting a new teacher and a different class may be just what he needs for a new beginning for this school year.
@kandi3670 – a new day a new start a new you! Good attitude toward one day of eating the wrong things, you are determined and will succeed. I believe in you!
@GingerPwr - steady with the weight, congrats

To my Canadian friends: Happy Thanksgiving! The official day is Monday but I read that most families celebrate over the weekend. I hope that with Covid that you all find a way to celebrate.

@GingerPwr - Yep! Your new weigh day is Sunday.
@ljdanny - I hope you have a swift and successful recovery!
@tryingagain5 - Totally with you on the stress-eating. I need to get back on track, so I think I'm going to go back to my rules about snacks: 1.) First time I think about eating a snack, I drink 8 oz. of water, 2.) If I'm still hungry 20 minutes later, I eat something small (around 100 cals), 3.) If I'm hungry 20 minutes after that, I make a larger snack (250 cals or so) - I rarely, if ever, make it past the first snack2 -

@debbiewsharpe you’re such an inspiration. You’re always positive. And it’s looks beautiful there. It is getting cold here in Ohio. But the leaves changing is a beautiful site. I think we are in for a very cold winter.2

@ljdanny. I hope you are home and feeling better soon.
@minstrelofsarcasm glad you were able to get your treatment. I hope you are feeling better soon.2 -

Good news, especially about relaxing into the new line. I hope you can move shifts if that's what you want to do. So many health things are 'idiopathic.' At least it's in your file in case it comes back with more clues.0 -

Thanks, Debbie. Where I live, we are supposed to have Thanksgiving only with those that live within our house. But, since I live alone, I can associate with one other household. So, I'll be going to my son's. My daughter won't be able to join us. In addition, she is having another surgery for her cancer today. She has to do it all on her own. None of us can go into the hospital. I worry all the time but she has a wonderful boyfriend. I think I'll order Thanksgiving dinner to be delivered to them and have a Zoom dinner with the two households.3 -

A great relief. I lost the weight I gained last week due to stress eating. That was easy. I just logged and ate as normally as possible. I still had some treats. I'm back at my lowest weight so far and am 3 lbs away from goal.
Of course, it's Thanksgiving weekend now. The irony. Surprisingly, turkey and potatoes are quite healthy. On the other hand my stuffing and gravy recipe include butter and my daughter-in-law has learned very well how to make it my way.
A well, at least I have a new set point.4 -

I will take that maintain. It was a wonky week and I am experimenting eating a few more carbs, with a bit shorter IF. Well, I am so glad that I squeezed in all of those appointments because our city is shutting down again for a “modified phase 2”. This means no restaurants, bars etc. This is hot off the press, so I am still trying to understand what is open and what is not. Schools are remaining open as a priority and we are pleased about that. Just finished up putting away my grocery order. Such a strange & small Thanksgiving, but we will still make it fun for the kids in particular.
@ljdanny - So glad that your surgery went well and wishing you a speedy and painfree recovery!
@debbiewsharpe - Beautiful photo! It looks lovely there!
@tryingain5 - So happy that you get to move to day shift. Sounds like you are getting the hang of the new tasks and am sure that you will do great! I remember a time when the night shift was really not agreeing with you to the point that you considered looking for another job. So getting this day shift in the job that you know and like is really good news. Best of luck!
@kiane50 - Love your new profile photo!
@kiane50 and @kittengirl88 - I am a long time vegetarian, like over 30 years at this point. So happy to see some fellow veggies on the team!
@1theresamcvean - Yes, you are right that many of us were raised to not speak up for ourselves. He is a bit of an introvert, so I am extra proud of the fact that he could express his feelings and advocate for himself.2 -

I feel like I am back in the zones! Though it is only Friday - let's see if I manage to mess up my Mon-Fri effort with too much food and drink at the weekend. I did a big shop today, so hopefully there is enough good food to make healthy choices.
@1theresamcvean that must be so difficult not be able to be their for your daughter - hugs × And congrats on sorting the stress eating and setting a new low. Goal is so close!
@debbiewsharpe I initially found a water app that I liked (every drink you have waters a plant that then grows), but soon that started to lose its appeal and so not only was I ignoring my brain telling me to drink, but also my phone! Not sure why this drinking water is so hard when the body needs water to sustain itself! Seems so counter-intuitive. And love the photo.
@ljdanny wishing you a speedy recovery. Sounds like you are doing well.
