@TeresaW1020 so sorry to hear the news about your husband, hopefully they can do the test quickly.
Just a quick check in, Vannie started getting sick i.e. the runs last night again at just shortly after midnight, so not a lot of sleep to be had. We went to the vet today and he said to just put her back on a solid bland diet and give her some medication. By the time we got home, she started throwing up a bit, when I phoned The vet he said to not feed her anything the rest of the day, and try the bland diet and medication tomorrow. So there wasn’t much sleep to be had by either of us last night, hoping for a good night sleep tonight. I’m afraid I didn’t get a chance to eat much before we left for the rat at noon, by the time we got home later in the afternoon, I was starving and started stress eating. I ate the whole bag I was smart popcorn that I got for my grandkids for tomorrow night. I really wanted to eat the pizza I got them for tomorrow night, but resistant, mainly because I thought it would be horribly cruel to eat something so delicious smelling where my dog is not allowed to eat😫.
Hoping for a good nights sleep tonight2 -

@TeresaW1020 - Praying for you and your husband!
@Katmary71 - I actually LOL 'ed when you wrote that about your big bladder. Yay you for gaining strength, losing weight and handing out the eviction notice! Enjoy your new phone! I get you about technology, but after a couple days you will be all good.
@laurelfit57 - goodness, what does the vet think is wrong with Vannie? I hope you get some sleep.
@trooworld - how was your appointment?

@Katmary71 Thank you, I appreciate your prayers. That is great news that the doctor didn’t find anything other than a huge bladder. I think I must have a tiny bladder as much as I’m always running to the bathroom.
Ugghh that ex of yours needs to leave!! I hope he will and you will have peace. Yayy on the scale going down. And yes, enjoy Thanksgiving and both meals!
@laurelfit57 Thank you! I hope Vannie will start to feel better soon. My Maggie has had an upset tummy and runny poop, so we are cutting the treats. She isn’t very happy with us. Stress eating happens. I did that myself yesterday and paid for it today on the scale.
@trooworld, Thank you! I hope your appointment gave you some answers or solutions for your migraines. Stay out of those cookies and chocolates!! Think about how great you are doing and how Wednesday will be here before you know it. 
@Cornanda Thank you for your prayers! Yayyy for your great loss this week!!! Keep it up!
Hi team! Yesterday when I did my church cleaning I somehow managed to hurt my lower back. It was very painful most of the night, so I took today off from working out and used my heated massager several times. I’m much better, which is good because in the morning I have to run to Sam’s and Publix and then go up to the church to set up for our potluck on Sunday. I’m planning for 100 people, but I don’t think we will have that many, but we might!
Hubby got a call and has the PET scan scheduled for next Wednesday and he will be getting a call next week for the biopsy. I appreciate all your prayers and kind thoughts and I’ll keep you updated as we learn more.

Today I have made a new goal weight.
62kg by 21.1.22
I'm hoping that this will re-energise my commitment.
On Thursday I tried on pair of jeans that I bought a year ago but were too small. I wore them comfortably for the whole day

I'm not sure what I did right yesterday because yesterday morning I was 279. Today I start a new diet and workout strategy.
@vegan4lyfe2012 I've had the same problem. The navigation is off in my opinion.3 -
@trooworld Keeping a log of your migraines is a very good idea and hopefully you will still get the answers you need. Girl, I forgot I was logging NSV’s! I don’t have any to report on except that I’m determined to get back on track…at some point this year! I had to brave Walmart and Sams yesterday afternoon. NOT fun!! I hope you enjoy every moment of that yummy brunch!
Good morning team! I thought I better write this morning because I won’t have time the rest of the day. Yesterday, I got our church fellowship room ready for the potluck dinner that is happening this evening. I also cooked my turkey last evening and it’s the best one I’ve ever made. I cooked it upside down until the last hour. Wow, what a difference it made! Have a great day!

It's Here! The Week 4 Challenge - Veggies Veggies Everywhere
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10849472/november-week-4-challenge-veg-out#latest0 -
@trooworld - congrats for making it onto the leaderboard! I've started my NSV journal, but I don't find one every single day. It will be good to have a record though.
Here we are at Thanksgiving week. Going to try to get my exercise in and eat lots of veggies this week. Right now, I am wasting time instead of getting my work and work outs done. This is a bad habit I need to work on. I'm going to go try a Get Fit with Rick video. Thank you to whoever recommended him!

Hi Team! Doing a quick check-in because it’s been a long day and I’m ready to sit down and watch some TV where I don’t have to think. I got my grocery shopping done early and then hubby and I went and bought a new mattress. Hopefully, it will be here in a week or so. Then I’ve been doing a bunch of computer work for the church. Tomorrow I have a hair appointment and I’m planning on starting a new Beachbody program called 645. I’m excited to see how I will like it.

@laurelfit57 I'm so sorry to hear about Vannie, I hope the bland diet helps.
@TeresaW1020 I'm so glad your husband is getting in fast. I hope your back continues to improve! What is your new Beachbody program like? I have a Facebook friend who is a Beachbody coach, he was in a CRPS group I was in and they yelled at him for marketing but I kinda liked him so when they kicked him out I stayed friends with him. He's been posting and tagging me in a free Beachbody workout program but I'm kind of ignoring it since I can't do all the legwork.
@krea4 Yay, rock those Jeans! Shake it, don't break it, took your mama 9 months to make it! I'll shut up but I'm so happy for you!
@trooworld I hope the doctor has some good ideas during your appointment, let us know how it goes! I can't do the size of Walmart plus stand in line there, they have the world's slowest cashiers or at least mine does. I did pickup today there but they subbed the cat food and one in the pack all four of the cats hate (beef with gravy). I have to look up a pupusa, I have no clue what you're talking about! They look good, let us know how it goes! A cheesy bread dish sounds amazing! I saw Teresa comment on tracking your migraines, is there anything specific the doctor is thinking? It could be from so many things, hormones, weather, food, exercise, I know it gets annoying with so many variables.
@19shmoo69 Hey, it sounds like you're on the right track, keep it up and ride the wave!
@trooworld @Cornanda @bgame4 Way to go on rocking the week, you're all doing so amazing!
@Cornanda Are they walking workouts? I just searched and it came up on YouTube, you know how curious I am about stuff!
Hi gang! I've been helping my brother with some of his work the last couple days which is great, I need the distraction. I'm still doing really good on my diet and workouts. I'm pretty stressed that my ex-boyfriend is still here, this is going to be a long couple weeks. It's a pretty toxic situation, I can't wait to finally be free of him and block him on everything and change the locks.
So how is everyone handling Thanksgiving, small servings, hog wild, cut back before, or what? I'm cutting back a little bit this week then I know as long as I'm not too strict I won't go too crazy, I decided tonight because I'm having two celebrations. As usual I'm put in charge of salad for the bigger celebration. Usually I'm super strict then eat so much my stomach hurts and that's really not healthy coping. I have to say having my pain condition relapse and not being able to work out hard has made me do all the mental stuff, you can't work out for three hours in pain so I've really had to learn balance and healthy behaviors.

@trooworld my wife reminded me of a book we have, 17 day diet. I think it's the breakthrough edition. I combined workouts and do them early in the morning.1
-
@TeresaW1020 - yes, tell us how Beach body is. I hope your mattress arrives soon, maybe it will help your back? Are you cooking for Thanksgiving?
@Katmary71 - Yes, they are walking workouts. Someone on here recommended him. They are pretty short, and he makes it fun. The one I did was quite simple and it's easy to add or subtract some things to make it your own. I decided to make it a bit more "dancy" and it was fun! My plan for Thanksgiving- see below....
@trooworld- I'm cooking for Thanksgiving and it's just the 4 of us, maybe daughter's boyfriend, not sure yet. Even the typical dinner is a huge amount of food for 4 people. I don't have any diet bombing relatives to show up with other dishes. Are you cooking? For a crowd or a few?
Yes, everyone, share your Thanksgiving plans if you have time.
My plan is to eat well before and after Thanksgiving and have what I want for Thanksgiving dinner. I do try not to eat until I am stuffed and uncomfortable. Then the problem becomes the leftovers..... which I love and will continue to eat during the weekend. My family loves the leftovers too so they get gone pretty quickly. I'll have to be careful there. I will not skip any exercise and will make sure I do a bunch of it on Thanksgiving morning.
On Friday, I make this apple recipe:
https://www.food.com/recipe/microwave-scalloped-apples-76504
That helps me to stop eating the pie!
Kids will be home this afternoon!
Yesterday, I had some chili for lunch. I looked at it and thought "that's too big of a portion size". Then, this evil little voice inside my head said "well, you're not going to lose any weight this week because of Thanksgiving, so it doesn't matter". I told my brain to shut the heck up- Thinking like that will get you a week long binge instead of one meal.

@trooworld- I missed the part about you not feeling well. I hope that you don't have Covid and that you will feel well enough to have a gathering tomorrow. The dishes I'm making are not light at all, but I will be very careful regarding leftovers. I agree with you that Thanksgiving should not be a day for light dishes. My Grandmother was a genius with yeast dough. She could make unbelievable bread without measuring anything. My sister and I often went to her house to bake with her, but nothing rubbed off. One time, I brought her some bread I made- I knew it wasn't right, but wasn't sure why. She took one bite and told me exactly what I did wrong. I have tried many times and my results have ranged from quite bad to acceptable, with way more on the bad side. I have officially resigned from yeast baking. I wish you well with your rolls. Let me know how they turn out.
We have having real Thanksgiving weather here in FL. High in the 50s. Took a walk this am and did a sweaty step workout. Now I am baking my pies. The house smells great!
@trooworld @lose4me71 Congrats on the losses!

@Katmary71 The new BOD program I’m doing is called 645 and it’s a 13-week program with trainer Amoila Cesar, who I love! The program is focused on weights, cardio, and mobility/stability movements. He does a great job of really keeping you focused on the correct form. I’m probably going fairly hog wild for Thanksgiving. A friend of ours made my hubby a caramel pecan apple pie and we are going to get into that this evening with some vanilla ice cream We will finish it tomorrow evening. That and the wine tomorrow will be the biggest indulgences, and I’m looking forward to it! I am trying to be good for the majority of my meals. Girl, I am going to do the happy dance in your honor when that ex of yours is out of your house!!
@trooworld Yayy on your one pound loss this week! And I am really hoping that you feel better soon and that your test is negative. I know that you want to be with your family for Thanksgiving.
@Cornanda, see my post to Katmary about my Beach Body workout. I love BOD!! Yes, I’m cooking for us three tomorrow. It will be a relaxed day and I’m looking forward to that! I totally agree that the leftovers are always an issue for me too. For me, Thanksgiving is really tomorrow and Friday because we will eat the same food for two days in a row. And then I diet on Saturday!
Hi Team! Well, my hair appointment got canceled because my hairstylist had a family emergency. I told her not to worry about me and let me know when she can get me in. So, yesterday I went and cleaned the church, and today, I didn’t go into the office to train, since my financial secretary wanted to go home early. So, I stayed home and deep cleaned things like my blinds and kitchen cabinets. Hubby had his PET scan today, but we don’t know anything yet. He has his lung biopsy on Dec. 6th, so hopefully, after that, we will get a true diagnosis and take it from there. We are staying positive and prayed up!
Day 63 of the 100-day Challenge Commitments:
1. Workout or do church cleaning 5 to 6 days a week Day two of 645 and lots of cleaning
2. Eat mostly high protein, low carb, moderate fat Mostly on plan but I do have a small piece of apple pie and some ice cream on the menu for later this evening.
3. Restart Data Driven Fasting and work it like a boss! I’m still in the baselining portion of this challenge and will stay there until Friday.
4. NO unplanned sugar!

The eating didn’t even start and my scale jumped in with suggestions 🤨
I’ve been a little blah lately and yesterday I went and cut 4-5in out of my hair, to try to shake it off some. So far no light bulb or anything, just surprised how round are my cheeks and how dependent on scrunches I let myself be.
Later today we are going to dinner at our friends house and my contributions are homemade bread, smoked salmon (my husband’s latest hobby) and an enormous tiramisu from Restaurant Depot.
After your nice resolutions, here I am throwing chips in the air and at the next weight in, I’ll let you know how they landed.
Happy Thanksgiving!0 -
