@vegan4lyfe2012 I love that expression, daughter-in-love! What a great picture of the two of them! I can relate to KISS! I think the older I get, the simpler I need things LOL
@Cornanda I am so glad to hear your puppy is doing well! That’s amazing that the medication‘s worked so quickly! Good luck trying to keep him quiet when he’s feeling so well LOL sounds like he has perked right up!
@TeresaW1020 I just have my light box on the kitchen table and turn it on for half an hour when I’m at breakfast in the morning. They said that you can also do a quick touchup in the afternoon, so if I am having lunch at home I will turn it on for maybe 10 minutes. Sounds like you had a more relaxed day yesterday, you probably needed it after the busy pace you have had!
@krea4 congratulations on the loss!
@Katmary71 it was the dog food! So crazy after being on it for over a year:/. Sorry things are tense at your place, good for you for getting in a work out and hopefully releasing some of that stress!
@trooworld congrats on the loss! Those magnets you made are beautiful! Did you paint them?
It was a really good day yesterday, I got in another spin class, I will never again do two spin classes two days consecutively, my aching keister LOLLOL! Also got to go out to a hockey game with my son last night, the hockey game wasn’t that great, the visit was! When your kids are grown and gone from home, those times seem especially precious :-).
It is insane here again today with the rain. We never have rain November-February and we had pouring rain once again this morning! Most of us now wear spikes on our boots, it is just so dangerous to walk on all the ice. It was so crazy with the pouring rain, I had my winter coat on and rain poncho over top of it😜.
I am including a picture of our walk this morning and the new fashion apparel 50% of us are wearing to keep from breaking our bones

@Katmary71 Praying for you!
@trooworld Yayy on your loss this week! Those magnets are sooo pretty!! Pink is my favorite color so of course, I love them!
@laurelfit57 Yikes! I can’t imagine having to walk on all that ice. Good idea to have those spiked boots on. And look at Vannie’s shoes! Do they have little spikes too?
Hi Team! Not much going on today. I went to work and came home at noon. I wasn’t going to do a workout today but then I felt guilty and remembered that I don’t sleep well on days when I don’t work out. So, I went and did a cardio program. My eating has been good today as I’m trying to stay mindful that if I don’t watch it my gain this Friday will be epic!

Today after 2 years I went to the gym, the work gym. I played on the treadmill a little and when I couldn’t breathe I went in the weight room to cool off. In there was my former military coworker who challenged me to do team-squats and as a dummy I said “tell me more”. Now hours later my legs are still shaky and I fear the coming down the stairs in the morning.2

@TeresaW1020 - my dog is a mini poodle mix. We got him from a rescue, so we don't know what he is mixed with. He weighs 11 pounds and he's mostly black with some apricot patches. Curly fur. Yay you for doing a workout when you didn't feel like it and being mindful with your eating. Been praying for your hubby.
@Katmary71 - I've been praying for you too. I suppose the get out date is coming pretty close now which is going to jack up the tension.
@trooworld - Great loss this week! Hooray for losing during a stressful time! Your magnets are beautiful!
@laurelfit57 - wow two days of spin in a row. Go you! That is crazy about boot spikes and icy streets. We are leaving for Wisconsin today. Supposed to be a nice blizzard while we are there..... will feel extra cold to our Floridian blood. After being here for 11 years, we are no longer acclimated to the cold.
@GabiV125 - ooooh boy! How are your legs today?
@broncobuddee - going to miss my weigh in tomorrow as we will be out of town.
Well, all packed, leaving in a couple hours. Doggo was stiff and had some pain yesterday, but he rested and then perked up again. I just hope nothing flairs up while we are gone. I trust my petsitter, so I will hope for the best. Bon Voyage!
Lisa

This pound gotta be water from sudden exercise 😁
Sore but not super bad, because yesterday night I took a turmeric and an aspirin pill for it.@GabiV125 - ooooh boy! How are your legs today?
At the holiday lunch last week, I saw people I didn’t see since COVID started (different buildings or different shifts) and true many had always been fit, but so many others got fit in this period. Especially from the over 50yo group, so it got me thinking.
I’m not shooting for ultra anything, just to get some strength and endurance (back).

WW posted this on Instagram yesterday. I really liked it so I thought I would share it here.

@laurelfit57 Thank you! No, I cut out pretty paper and glued it to the back of the glass dome. It was really easy to do. Two spin classes in a row??? Wow! I'm glad you enjoyed your time with your son. It is supposed to rain here today. That is interesting about the spikes on your boots. I can see why that is necessary. I'm glad you have boots on your pup. They get cold, too!
@TeresaW1020 Thank you! Good for you for doing the cardio.
@GabiV125 Oh gosh! I love squats but they are killer. Most of my coworkers gained weight during COVID.
@Cornanda Thank you! I hope you have a great time on your trip and your doggo doesn't experience any pain.

Hi all! My name is Leona. I am 48 living in New Mexico. I've struggled with my weight all my life. I am just trying to get to a manageable place with my weight so I can be more active with my grandkids and maybe enjoy a vacation! I work full time, suffer from chronic migraine, and both my knees are in pretty bad shape. I am also trying to lose enough weight so that when I do need knee replacements, it will be a better recovery.
Good luck this month!2 -
@TeresaW1020 I wish I could find boots with spikes for Vannie, she is so late she can’t get any traction and keeps tripping and falling and all of the little dips and valleys🤣. Sounds like you had a win-win day! Good for you for getting that workout in even though you didn’t feel like it, I am the same if I don’t work out, I definitely don’t sleep!
@Cornanda just keep telling yourself tomorrow that your legs hurt so good! I can’t imagine leaving Florida and going to a cold state! I am sure though that all the visiting will warm you up! I am sure that you’re pup will be fine while you’re gone, just so glad that the medication is working for him. Have a great trip!
@GabiV125 I am with you, I don’t want to be ultra anything either! Strength and endurance goes along way!!
@trooworld I love that graph that you put up, it is so true! When I look at my graph over a period of years, I think it looks like mountains🤣.
@leonadixon congrats on the loss this week! Being able to keep up with those Grandkiddos is huge! I know you’ve got this!
It was a great day today! I got to go to a spin class first thing this morning, I thought it was going to be a pretty relaxed day doing some cleaning and picking up a couple of presents. I wanted to get a bowtie for my little grandson, he loves bowties! Well… Apparently bowties are not in right now I walked all over the place trying to find a bowtie for my grandson, four hours and 17,000+ steps later, I finally got him a bowtie!🤣

@laurelfit57 I do, too. It's encouraging and it surprised me when I first heard that is typical a few years ago. I thought that those that lose successfully always lose lol. How cute that your grandson loves bowties! Wow, great step count!
Hi all. I went to my neurology appt yesterday for my migraines. They said things look normal so they want to put me on a different medication but first, they want to do some scans to make sure nothing else is going on. So, I wait for that call. Other than that, things are going pretty well.

@tammymccrady6278 Sorry about the loss of your mother. I lost my mom in 2016 and it was also a wake-up call to me. She was 69, and a lot of her health issues were due to her weight. It is really hard, but you got this and I think 27lbs in 6 months is great. Kudos to you.
@laurelfit57 Congratulations on your NSV...so motivating...love it.
Just wanted to say, I love this group. I'm gonna try to comment more.2 -
@GabiV125 Ohhh I feel your pain with the squats. That is great that so many of your co-workers had gotten fit. That isn’t always the case in these Covid times we live in.
@trooworld that weight loss journey graph is totally my graph!! Thanks for posting it. And I’m praying that the new medication will help your headaches.
@laurelfit57 Yayyy on getting in all those steps and finding a bowtie! I’m sure he will look adorable in it.
@Cornanda Your dog sounds super cute. My Maggie Mae is a poodle and King Charles Caviler mix. Here is a pic. Thank you for your prayers for hubby. We are truly thankful for all those who are praying for him. Have a great trip!!
Hi Team! Today has been fun. Hubby decided that for Christmas he wanted to upgrade my wedding rings. So, after trying on dozens, I fell in love and now they are on order and hopefully will be here before Christmas. We traded in my original set and got much more money than we had expected, so that was a nice surprise. We had lunch at one of my favorite places, Taqueria Tsunami and went to TJ Maxx to do a little Christmas shopping for a couple of my friends. This evening we are going to my staff Christmas party, which is always a blast. Especially since it’s NOT at my house this year!!

@lose3me71 Yay! We would love to hear more from you (and other lurkers!).
@TeresaW1020 Mine too! Thank you, we have to clear the scans before I get the new medication. I really hope it helps. Maggie Mae! Always good to see her, she's such a cutie pie! What is your new ring like? What shape is your center stone? Is it a diamond or a colored stone? I have a ruby as a center stone. It's really beautiful. I'm glad you got more money than expected for your old rings. I hope you had fun at the party. Have you heard anything about your hubby's biopsy yet?

@trooworld I love those magnets! I definitely agree with the weight loss projection, it's all over the place!
@laurelfit57 Holy cow, your butt and legs must me killing you! Be careful in all that rain. That's so cool your grandson likes bowties, you have to take a lot of pictures for when he's older. That would be fun if he still loves them as an adult!
@TeresaW1020 I've noticed that too on days I take a day off I don't sleep as well. Glad you knocked it out!
@GabiV125 You are so funny, I respond like that too, I love being challenged but I can get a little crazy. Sounds like you would choose a Jillian Michaels drill sarg personality too!
@Cornanda Have a safe trip!
@leonadixon Thank you, good luck to you this month too!
@renaegry Glad to see you!
Hey gang! I went to a nearby farm for a barn sale, I got some delicious white chocolate peppermint tea but of course I didn't go for me! I did get a couple gifts so it wasn't a bust. Yesterday I spent some time at the food bank farm which was fun, things are pretty slow right now since we're in fall but I harvested lettuce and broccoli. Hope you all are having a great Saturday!2 -

@Tammymccrady6278 @Firefly743 Congrats on the losses!
@Katmary71 Thanks, I hope my coworkers will love them too! Yeah, that projection is spot on. The barn sale sounds fun.
Hi all. I was too busy to get into trouble yesterday, we took in a foster pup. Her name is Daisy and she is about 6 years old. She's a pug, which is my favorite breed. She's adorable and I predict a foster fail!

@renaegry Sometimes we really do need a little time off, but I’m glad you are back now.
@trooworld I’m so happy that you decided to foster Daisy and yes, I also predict a foster fail. I hope she adjusts to her new home and gives you much joy. My rings are gorgeous! The engagement ring has a round diamond that is very clear and sparkly. It has three graduated diamonds on each side. The band is an eternity band with round and marquis diamonds. It’s borderline dainty and very pretty. I will also wear my pave diamond band that my husband gave me for our 6th month anniversary. I love that all three rings are distinct yet go so well together. Hopefully, I will get them before Christmas!
@Katmary71 Yum that tea sounds wonderful! Is it broccoli season? I bought some last week and it was the best I’ve seen all year. I love steamed broccoli with blue cheese dressing drizzled over it.
Hi Team! Yesterday, I decided to basically do nothing for a change. I did a workout and a little housework and then I just took the day off from work, projects, and even social media. I watched a lot of coverage about the tornados and all those poor people. My heart just breaks for them!
And when that got too much, I watch holiday baking shows. Tomorrow is hubby’s doctor’s appointment where we find out the results of his lung biopsy. We are both ready to find out what is going on and get it fixed.
