    @Beautyofdreams thank you. I am really glad it will be done and I will be in recovery mode before Christmas and the new year.
    @lindamtuck2018 I will make sure to keep you posted better than I did with the last hospitalization. I know I will have 2 days of being in the hospital since I will be opened instead of laproscopic surgery.

    Mid December is still far enough away that I am having to focus on my family and the holidays. Thanksgiving is being a bigger deal than before. I am even getting everything for Christmas done. Even my decorating is happening now. I am usually an after Thanksgiving kind of girl. I am planning on giving everyone their Christmas ornaments on Thanksgiving. I am keeping busy because I know if I don't I will binge just worrying about my surgery. So crazy busy it is.

    Thank you @rwood566 and @lindamtuck2018 for sharing your experiences and kind words.

    Today it was 51 degrees with a light wind so put up the outside Christmas decorations and took leaves to the brush dump. Was up almost 1 pound today. Think it’s just water weight. When I lift weights, I usually carry 2 pounds water weight that would disappear on the weekends when didn’t lift weights.
    Reached out to another cousin that am concerned about. Her brother was murdered this year and she has been through the funeral, visitation and two trials for. the murderers. She has had to stay away from her family as her younger sister has mental health issues and blows up when she is around the family. Just worried for her and want to make sure that she is doing well. Let her know that others are thinking of her.

    @lindamtuck2018 no mention of a liver biopsy by the dr, I've only had the ultrasound and blood test.

    Well what a day, I finally made myself get out of bed and go to archery for the first time in months. It's so beautiful when I get there. It's called field archery because instead of just standing in front of the same target the whole time, you walk around a course which is all up and down several acres of bushland.

    A great workout for my arms and legs. My fitness must be getting better because I used to huff and puff the whole way around the course but today I barely broke a sweat.😁

    No FitOn class today but I did wash all 4 furkids and trust me no zumba class can compete with the level of strength, choreography and stamina you need to wrestle 4 x 30kg+ wet bulldogs 🤣

    Then finished the day walking everyone up and down the driveway.

    I keep forgetting your thanksgiving is this week. Keeping busy is a good way to prevent worry. Do you make the ornaments?

    Makes sense you are retaining water just getting back into weights. Putting up decorations sounds like a great way to burn calories. That is nice of you to be there for family members.

    Thanks for clarifying. Archery sounds so cool. You must of burn a ton of calories. It’s something I always wanted to try. The pictures are beautiful!

    I always bloat and gain after popcorn. Did you have any at the theatre? The first ghostbusters was the best. Now I am going to have the theme song stuck in my head all day.

    Steps ✅
    Close Rings ✅

    I am not posting my calories in my goals for now. It’s having the opposite effect. Instead of helping stay in calories it is making me worry I am not going to be able to check it off which makes me want to binge more. Yesterday, I hit a new move record goal on my Apple Watch. I am after the quadruple move goal badge. I was so close yesterday. I want to get it before the end of the month. With that being said, it won’t be happening today. I was up playing games with the grandkids until 2 am and I am very tired and sore today. If I go to the pool it will be a gentle movement/stretching day.

    Enjoy your Sunday!
