Good morning
Hugs go out to all three of you - Sara, Runa and Lana. I hope all of you have better days ahead!
Sara - LOVE the name of the of the aroma therapy!
Lana - HATE vertigo. Hopefully it goes away soon. Massage the areas from behind your ears to your throat. The drainage tubes from your ears are in there. Maybe they just need to drain a bit?
Runa - I too hope you are safe.
Friday and 71 here. Wow!
Have the best day you are able!

Happy Friday!
I am taking the weekend off of MFP. It is my birthday tomorrow and I think that I would like to just be in a mindful place for the weekend. It’s my own New Year.
What are my goals? How far have I come?
Lots to think about.
Wishing everyone a lovely weekend with purposeful good decisions.
Positivity for you all.3 -
Melichalupa - Have a great day tomorrow!

Lynn - Thank you for the tip-- I did not know this!

Good evening,
I will hit 7k before bedtime which is nice. Counter balances some of the extra calories (cough,cough).
Snowing and raining in the CA mountains brings me great joy. Relief for some of these fires.
Lynn - Lana posted the aroma therapy it is from a company in SF and works very well. Keeps the urge to strangle someone verbally at a minimum.
I work tomorrow and I may be able to work day after Thanksgiving (so less time off used and more $$ to throw at my credit card.
Speaking of which - amazon shopping cart time.
Wishing all a good night.2 -

Good morning everyone~~
The vertigo is still here. Yesterday it improved as the day wore on. I do lay down in bed for many hours before I actually go to sleep, but it didn't come back until the middle of the night. How strange.
The last time I had this, it did resolve on its own after a few days.....hope it does that again.
I must try to get going walking again in spite of it. I'm getting no exercise, and I need to counteract the comfort-food consumption.
Sara - have a good day at work!
Lana0 -
good afternoon,
Lana I hope your vertigo goes away, I am hearing a lot of people are "coming down" with it. Must be because we can communicate faster by social media - not like its a virus etc.
My shopping list is done for the weekend. I now can wear my wrist watch again, have chicken for salads and warm sweat pants - it had RAINED overnight and I went out to my car and was very pleasantly surprised - November usually is our last month for fire hazards so this is a great relief.
Just got done working - hit my boss' production standard - that coughing sound is me gagging in sarcasm.
Wishing all a good night.0 -

Happy Sunday everyone~~
Hey Sara - How is your aunt doing? (you posted recently that she had covid, but they sent her home from the hospital so early)
I think I might go on a diet this week! (OMG)

Good morning,
Slept in so it will be a shorter day.....
Lana, as far as I know my Aunt is doing okay. I am in contact with her eldest son and will send cards.
DIET is a four letter word. You know better. You might improve your health. Keep walking and that is a great start.
Wave to all who follow. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
Sara - I could use a shake-up. That's why I said "go on a diet".
For many months now, I have not been following any eating plan. The only thing I've been doing is journalling my food, without counting calories or points or anything. It is time for me to get back into it.
I did manage to cook two of my meals from scratch/fresh today - that helps to keep the sodium down.
....then I finished the ice cream.....
Tomorrow is another day!
Lana1 -
Good morning.
You are up bright and early Melichalupa!
Today is a beautiful day!
Last day of 70's in WI. Can almost guarantee that will be it until at least April. Great weekend - did lots of stuff outside - sprucing up yard a bit.
Lana - I am with you on the diet thing. I know Sara - it is about health. Seems I must not care about my health much
I will try and talk myself into caring about my health a bit more.
My DH was diagnosed with fatty liver. We go to GI Specialist Thursday. That WILL mean diet, major lifestyle changes. Reduction in carbs/sugar is what it sounds like. Maybe that will be better for me as well. It is interesting, like I said guy doesn't drink. He probably has an extra 30 lbs on him. Didn't expect his liver to be suffering....
Hope all are well - Runa...hope you are doing ok. Marueen, Dawn? Tracey, Kathryn, Have a great day!
Lynn

Waving to Melichalupa - thanks for getting us started today 👍🏻
Lynn - let us know how that doctor visit goes on Thursday. I am curious to know the answer to the mystery.
I hope we hear from Dawn and Kathryn. I worry about Dawn, and Kathryn had that trans-echo procedure recently.
Maybe today Tracy and Runa and Missy and Bordeaux Bee can check in 🤞🏻

I can't believe I've been gone for more than one month. Time really flies these days. I did a lot of calling for the election, have been working hard, and have enjoyed our gorgeous fall weather lately. Stuck in a rut with eating habits and not losing. Not gaining either, so at least I have that.
Please give me a little update on YOU when you log in. I probably won't get around to reading all that I've missed.
My mom's dementia is getting worse and we are talking about having her move in with my older sister, a Family Practice Nurse Practitioner. It would be best. Hoping to get through Xmas first. My daughter may also live with my sister to help with Grandma and to do a nails specialty course at the tech college near by. Daughter really wants to skip winter in WI this year.
I hope you and yours are all doing well.1 -
Hi all! Just stopping in briefly.
Things continue to shift and change. I have been staying at a friend’s place while she was out of town. Heard today she is coming back a day early, at least.
Might have a place through Craigslist to wait out another apartment. It’s not the best situation, but it’s not sleeping in my car and it doesn’t break the bank.
Weight is coming back down a bit after all the emotional eating. If nothing else, my body itself is losing inches. My usual house clothes/pjs are falling off my hips and shoulders.
Stay well and be kind to yourselves!

Hi All! Happy Monday!!!! Well I received the results of the job I had applied and interviewed for and unfortunately I didn’t get the job. Kinda stinks because it was going to be the reset I needed. Just means i have to keep looking and try harder. I also need to get my butt in gear and get healthy again. I’m almost back to my highest weight again. Hope everyone is having a great Monday and it’s not too manic for everyone.

Sorry to hear that Missy. I have also been looking for a job. And am definitely sending you well wishes on your search. It’s a cutthroat market out here.
I worked out today for the first time in 2 months and was feeling great- but I slept wrong and I have a crink in my neck that stopped me from doing my full potential. Hopefully better tomorrow.
Family life can be life-sucking sometimes. It’s so much easier to care for others and ignore ourselves. I am working on being more purposeful with my days-I want to give my best to my loved ones but would like to balance that with positive self care.
Wishing everyone a good night,

Good evening,
Wow I missed the chat!! Hey there Missy and Runa - Keep at the job search and housing. It is waiting for you.
Maureen thank you for all your election work. It was a close and tough fight for both sides.
It is COLD here considering we were balmy a couple of weeks ago, so those sweat pants are earning their keep right now.
I am doing well enough at work to keep my trainer happy and my boss QUIET, which is a real change. Earplugs and music on.
Desserts all over the place in my house, so my 6k steps by days end comes in handy. Too cold to wear my summer ish pants which is good because the larger pair is so big that the top I wore was shorter than usual and potential mid section showing was hopefully not seen.......
Okay if we dont eat in health, how about walking/exercise in health or get enough sleep?
Melissa started our day and ended our day - I appreciate that.1 -

It’s a tough market out there! Good luck with your search too! I’m beginning to think that a masters degree level is required to get ahead but scared to take on student loans especially in this climate.0 -

Hi there! Definitely will be keeping up the search! Thankful that I do have employment now and will keep me afloat until I find better.
Idk you must have been taking the cold away from my area. RI has been in the 60’s and 70’s the last few days which is hot for November but we had snow on Halloween so idk the weather is keeping up with 2020.0 -
whew! 68 posts to catch up on!
Well, had the TEE procedure last week. While I was coming out of anesthesia, the doctor told DD that everything looked good, that there was a tiny hole in the wall of my heart but that its actually a common thing and nothing to worry about. Then the dr office called next day and set me up an appointment with an open heart surgeon!
That will be in Dec. Not sure what is going on. Will find out when I see the surgeon, I guess.
Also last week/weekend spent in mountains in KY. Last Jeep trip of the season. Had a really good time. No cell service or internet in the area.
With all the travel and stress, I have not eaten well and can feel it! Am swollen and achy. Trying to get back into the swing of things. I am in the office this week which feels weird after teleworking past couple of weeks.
Hope everyone is staying safe and staying healthy!

Good evening,
Cheeseburger casserole simmering in skillet for a couple of minutes.
Kathryn- how do you go from a little hole to surgery??? Comfort yourself how you can. Gee whiz. Keep us posted please.
Yeah I am at work now too. Get a lot more steps in but I have to deal with monster. Luckily between meeting and interviews (for 3 jobs) she doesnt come out much.
Runa and Missy keep plugging away - trying is frustrating but it is better than not trying.
Melissa welcome and post when you can. This is an open board.
Yes, Thursday is bday I have now a dinner with coworker on Thursday. More salt means more steps. Yikes. Her mothers birthday was 11/8 so she remembers mine as well.
Have to stop the smoke alarm from going off.

Good morning.
Kathryn - I would consider a 2nd opinion. Your body is yours - you are entitled.
Sara- good morning and good afternoon, I am sure you are working away trying to please the unpleasable.
Good Morning Lana! I am patiently waiting for Jean Luc - I would love a good fruity hot tea
Welcome Melissa!
Missy - the right job is out there for you! Schooling is a tough decision. I can't give you guidance there - but I hear you about those loans. Crazy how much school costs.
Runa - keep on keeping on. I am so glad you are looking out for your health during all this!
Have a great Wednesday!

Good morning.
Half way done with week. I will take that.
Knitted a lot last night as I was online buying stones for my place. I kept under budget stones are not as expensive as jewelry.
Food has been okay but not real exciting. I will work on that for next week.
Lana safe travels. Eat what you need to and walk it off when you get home.
Wave to all who follow. Stay safe and sane out there.
Hi! I love crystals and collect them as well! I make jewelry too. What crystals did you buy for your place? Hope you are well! I found a crystal mask at hot topic that I can’t wait to buy lol.0 -
