Best day in a while. I did hit the candy again but logged it. I need to get back into exercise too but I get cleaning and the day gets away from me. Hope everyone is having a great day! TGIF!
@minstrelofsarcasm I am going to give that cold brew a try! Love the weigh in pic Lol!
@kandi3570 Wow! Just thinking about your knee hurts! I hope it is better soon! I hope you do not have Covid and if you do, I hope a mild case. I hope the same for your family members. Sending hugs!
@1theresamcvean I should have gotten fruit gummies to give out! What a great idea! We are a little spoiled with all the choices we have here. The brand I found is Boar’s head if you want to type in a search. They had chocolate and the pumpkin pie. I am in for the spin challenge! I need something to get me back to moving!
@podperson1 I find it a little easier to eat on track when there is food in the house so hopefully getting your grocery order will help you. I love your hygge ideas,especially the apple one! I am going to try that.
@ljdanny Nice loss!
@debbiewsharpe Those drops are something else aren’t they? I used to plan my whole day around my post op cataract patients. I hope you are through it soon and seeing better.
@4newrunner22 Welcome Don
@tryingagain5 Glad that you started PT. Good luck!
@mainebeachbum How nice to have the heat from the wood stove warming the bathroom floor. Love that your husband sits down there lol! I am like you, I wouldn’t like sitting down there either. I have an unfinished basement with our exercise equipment in it. It doesn’t have the best vibe for me but better than nothing I guess.
@Cafelelia It is so exciting that you are so close to your goal! You have a great attitude and you will be there before you know it! I love the hygge ideas that have been coming in. I hope you share your Christmas decorating. We still have to get through thanksgiving but I plan to decorate early myself. Thanks for posting the candy charts too.

Hi all,
Yay for Friday!
@debbiewsharpe - glad the surgery went ok, hope your eyes are feeling a bit better x
@kandi3570 - sounds like you're already bringing it back round
@4newrunner22 - Hi Don, welcome to the group everyone here is super supportive so am sure you'll fit right in
@tryingagain5 - glad your first PT session went well, and yup, we can totally do this)
@mainebeachbum - yay for unintentional bathroom underfloor heating! Sounds your hubby has his cozy little man cave going on lol!
@Cafelelia - woot, so close to goal!! You're doing amazing x
@sleepymom5 - I'm just the same with the exercise/cleaning lately but am sure there's calories being burned in there somewhere
So happy it's weekend. I'm actually feeling quite a bit more positive this week so rather than letting the weekend just pass me by, as the last few seem to have, am going to make sure I do some things I enjoy and take some 'me' time.
I am a little sad can't celebrate Halloween in any kind of big way as it's always been one of my favourite holidays, but am looking at doing a Twitch session with some friends and we're going to have some outfits, sing some themed songs, have a few drinks etc. so should still be fun. I actually don't have any candy in the house so hopefully I won't cave and get any before tomorrow lol! I live in a flat so don't really get guisers here, normally I would tend to go a friends house as she lives in a very family neighbour and we would give out sweets for a few hours. (Just realised most of you won't know what 'guisers' are lol - in Scotland guising is the equivalent of 'trick or treating' but the kids come to the door and do something to 'earn' their candy - so they might sing a song, do a little dance, tell a joke etc. It's a lot of fun.)5 -

Ive been slowly creeping back into bad habits. I really want to finish out this year on a positive note so I need to reset my thinking (and obviously my eating!!)5 -
@sleepymom5 thats awesome about your son. The last part I passed was auditing and the funny part is, I worked as an auditor for large companies for many years! Maybe he’s just saving the best for last!😀0

@sleepymom5
Aww, thanks for saying you would miss me.😊 I would miss you and the others too. I know I need to do this. Can't be going to my annual doctor's appointment in January at the weight I am now.😥
You're right, we (all of us) can do this!
I hope the doctors can figure out what's really going on with your knee and get you back to normal.

My physical therapy session yesterday was good. A little longer than it will be normally since it was an assessment visit and I had to fill out some paperwork.
We talked about what was going on and then he did some stretching for it. Basically I laid on the exam table while he moved my leg around and tried not to hurt me too much. He also did an ultrasound "massage", which felt really good when it didn't tickle. I'm very ticklish. At the end of the session he had me ride a recumbent bike for about 10 minutes. He gave me just one exercise to do at home before my next appointment.
We decided to do 2 days a week and it will be for 6 weeks. Hopefully this will help and I can get back to working hard in the gym. I'm still working with my trainer there but only upper body and will continue with upper body until the PT says it's ok to do more.
We've been working so hard at work and must have caught up some because all 3 shifts have this weekend off. I spent my morning sleeping and have been getting some laundry done.
Going to my sister's house later for dinner and will get to see my great niece, which will be 1 next week. Can't believe she's that old already! My other great niece, the 1 year olds cousin is 21 months, I think, I'm losing track.😊2 -

My apologies for being a bit absent this week, all of a sudden I'm working 12 hour shifts and weekends, got to take it while the taking is good! I do get a minute once in a while to try and catch up. I'll try to post an uplifting comment tomorrow, right now I'm just all pooped out! Can I say "Pooped" or will it turn into a "Kitten"?

Weigh Day
Username: 1theresamcvean
Weigh-in week: Week 4
Weigh-in day: Friday (one day late)
Previous weight: 146.3
Today's weight: 147.4
Loss to date: 30.0
This week I was quite ill with my ulcerative colitis coming out of remission, which has been a very rare occurrence in the past fifteen years. I will not get into specifics except for in the bracketed section below, which I am giving a trigger warning for.
Only today did I realize what I had done wrong. I started taking some serious probiotics two weeks ago. A terrible no-no. Just mild ones in yogurt or kimchi-type foods are all that will be tolerated.
This was a difficult, painful, and confusing lesson to learn.
The reasons I mention this are a) I wasn't really here much this week and b) I have significant inflammation so as a result, my weight is up.
(Trigger Warning: Possibly because I'm feeling so unwell, I will point out that ulcerative colitis is quite different from colitis or irritable bowel syndrome. It's a lifelong disease and when it's at its worst is dangerous. I have been very lucky to have good medical care with this, though thirty years ago it did require getting a second and third opinion. I became so sick at the time, I couldn't even walk up the stairs to our third-story bedroom without resting and had convulsions in the night (ahem) in the bathroom. Luckily, I was able to get an off-label treatment that works.)7 -

Back to work next week but will keep it up now had time to rest, spend time with family and reset. My mind and body feel so much better and ready for the next half term- keep going everyone- we can do this.5 -
@lennoncpa
You're definitely not alone on the bad habits creeping back in. Mine didn't "creep" back. They came back with a vengeance. You'd think I know better and, of course, I do. Definitely need a swift kick in the backside!😉
I know my trainer would love to "beat" me more but with my knee issue we are pretty limited in what we can do right now. I actually told him that I missed doing jumping jacks!🤣 and I meant it. I'm sure that when I'm able to there will be lots of jumping jacks in my sessions.
I know you'll get back on track and so will those of us who are having issues right now!3 -

Friday’s steps 1716 - didn’t work I was essentially a couch potato with my foot propped and of course I had some Halloween candy. 🤷♀️
I’m not surprised at my weight. I still have water retention in my leg. I didn’t do well this week with food or getting my steps in. I’m going to take it easy this weekend, but Monday I’m going at this hard. I wish it were nicer outside and I could walk outside as I loath the treadmill. Oh well it is what it is Monday we begin, again.

I'm still behind in posts but saw we have a few new folks. Welcome to all of you! I'd tag you but I would spend too much time trying to find the posts that have your usernames.😊
Just know this is a great supportive group!2 -

Good morning. Let's stay on track this weekend. Today is Halloween but since we haven't had any trick or treaters in a few years and our city has asked that we cancel it this year to stop the Covid I didn't get any candy that I would have to eat.
Welcome to all the newcomers, this is a very active group with lots of good advice so try to check in often.4 -
