    @Cornanda Congratulations on the big drop! I'm a little resistant to journaling too, I hope you find yourself in the mood to do it soon.

    @trooworld So glad you're feeling better, enjoy your walk!

    @GabiV125 I hope your coughing starts to clear up and you get some energy, then it's on right?!

    @tammymccrady6278 So happy you're back on track, sounds like you got a lot done!

    @TeresaW1020 You'll have to share the picture of your amaryllis when it blooms! I'm glad your husband was able to take a shower, one more step back to feeling normal. Hope you're able to work out soon!

    @FushiaKat Glad you liked the yogurt! A baked potato sounds awesome, yum! I just ran into my insurance no longer delivering prescriptions, I haven't started making nasty calls yet though. All my Christmas stuff is still up and my parents are coming over tomorrow, I guess I should take it down, hm.

    Hi gang! Still can't work out but I did make it to Macy's and bought two pairs of workout pants and skincare so I used up my store credit. I took my walker so I could take breaks if I needed to. My upper back is still wonky, I stupidly did laundry and carrying it from the hamper to the washing machine made it worse so taking it from the washer to the dryer ought to be fun, one sock at a time right?! I didn't make it to the plant sale, there were issues checking out so after waiting half an hour I just wanted to go home. I stopped at the farmer's market for lettuce and ten people were in line so I just left. The pants I wanted were out of my size so it was either go up one or down one, medium didn't look too small so I got them, they'll be better after I lose 5lbs. I went to my brother's to teach my SIL to make kombucha and my brother installed the stereo he got me for Christmas, of course I was trying to figure out how to use it the whole way home but I'm excited, it's really cool! Tomorrow is Walmart pickup then my parents are coming by in the afternoon. Have an amazing Sunday!

    At work, I joined a wellness challenge (CatchLife30), and one of my first "assignments" is to choose a motivational word for the challenge. I have been pondering a word or phrase of the year since it was part of a challenge on here a couple of weeks ago. It doesn't feel quite right yet, but this is what I have: OWN IT
    The idea is that I am the one responsible for my health and wellness choices.

    Crazy day yesterday with stressful situation and I'm so sorry I forgot to log my weight. Praying for a turn around today. I'm trying to find a norm for daily routines again. I'm joining the gym again and plan to go back this week. Have a great day!!

    Wahoooo Team Mission Slimpossibles for making second place on the leaderboard! Keep up the great work and maybe next week we can be NUMBER ONE!! :star:B):)

    froqbtim9xzc.png

    @Katmary71 I will for sure share a pic once the Amaryllis blooms! It’s been fascinating to watch. :grin: And now with your new workout pants, you have some added motivation to lose that 5 lbs. I have never tried kombucha but have wanted to. How nice to have a new stereo!

    @trooworld HaHa, I look at tracking as punishment and you look at it as something good. I will try to see it your way. I do love my veggies! :grin:

    @askewcr Great weight loss this week! I hope some peace in your stressful situation. Going to the gym is great! :)

    @bgame4 Own It is a great phrase for the New Year! I hope you find this wellness challenge just the thing you need to keep you mindful and motivated. :)


    Hi Team! Today has been a pretty good day. Hubby and I got some much-needed sleep last night and his pain is somewhat better today. We watched church on live stream and hated having to miss being there in person. We have had so many wonderful people reaching out wanting to bring us food. But I have declined because cooking is easy for me, and I don’t want to derail my new eating plan. The scale was down a little this morning and I managed to get back into my workout room for a good lower body workout, which felt great! B)

    Hello Everyone!

    Today has been a much better day. E-Church this morning and then cooked steamed cabbage, roast with peppers in crock pot, potato salad, and muffins. I only ate cabbage and roast and it was good. Working on staying away from fast food.

    Hubby and I played on the WII tonight. I beat him in table tennis and he beat me at bowling. We also played the water board game. It was so much fun and I burned a few extra calories.

    Blessed day!!! Let's go get our victories!! B)

    Congrats on being on the letter board this week team!!!!
    Well today is my day off and I should be cleaning the bathroom the house really. What am I doing? Binge watching How to get away with Murder lol. I just don’t have the energy to do anything today so I choose not to. It can all wait till tomorrow. I have been working so much this last month what with people off sick that I’m zonked both mentally and physically. And to top it all off Sean and I decided to cancel out Cuba trip. We had already changed the date due to this omicron variant and not it just seems to be getting worse and we don’t want to be in a position that the Canadian borders close while we r away. So next year maybe. Good news is I’m still on track with my food and did some exercise this morning too.

    Have a good rest of your day guys.

    Well I tracked all of my food again today. This is the second day and it feels pretty good. I plan to go back to the gym tomorrow morning. It takes 21 days to form a habit. Well, 2 days down and 19 more to go. I've been staying on top of keeping the house tidy so that's a plus. It was a good day! Let's go get it! B)

    @Cornanda The only thing I could think of was the "real" sugar from the Frosted Animal Cookies, plus the fact that cookies are my nemesis. I had a long chat with myself last night, and I have decided to manage having a little bit of "real" sugar in my life. I need to start now, so I can learn what works and what doesn't. It won't be every night, but I can plan for it, and then enjoy that I was still true to the process and what works. And I don't need to feel guilty. I think the guilt feeling was eating at me and making me a bit grumpy. It's the same with Salt for me, I crave it now and them but normally I don't use it. It makes me dizzy, and I have been overindulging in salt as well. So, if my weight is up tomorrow it is the salt and nothing more than that. But my choices need to be conscious decisions that I hold myself accountable for. This was a huge test for me. I think I passed being able to work it out.

    I was struggling, I didn't overindulge it just felt like I did. But last night I decided not to eat the cookies, KNOWING that I could eat them another night without guilt. It does not have to be "all or nothing".

    It's hard for me, when life got difficult, I ate to feel better. I don't want to do that anymore. Today was day 150 for me on MFP.

    My phrase for the year: I got this! Me, myself and I!

    Lol I play an online game and we have building contests, today I was #1 out of 125 places! I'm super excited about that. The title of my room was "The Spirit of Christmas!" I have been playing this game for 13 years. I've been building the last 4 years and we have 4 building contests a year, I usually place first just not at the top spot. It is a very desired place to be, and this is only my second time there. My friend said that I was "Queen of the Kingdom"

    @Cornanda Hugs to you my friend as you navigate growing children and learning how to live a new normal. And of course, he loves his mama! Be careful when you start back to strength training. I was off my workouts for almost two weeks and the last two days of strength training have me so sore! Now hubby and I are both hobbling around in pain. :D

    Hi Team! Not much going on today. Still watching my hubby like a hawk as he moves around in pain and dizziness. Tomorrow, I have to go to work, and I hate the idea of leaving him to his own devices, but I have to go in and work with our financial secretary and learn how to do the end of year stuff so I can do it next year my own. I will take the dog to daycare, so DH doesn’t have to deal with her nonsense. My eating has been good. The macro challenge has me tracking every bite, which is a pain but I’m doing it! :grin:

    I'll take it. It was a rough week last week; I will stop eating salt. I did enjoy it for a couple of days. After having that nice long chat with myself I am feeling a lot happier and more in control of my life. It's like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. It's really hard to put into words.

    It was a good day today. I tracked food and did some exercise today. I also tutored two of my nieces in math and writing tonight. I'm still getting back to my goals. Let's go get it! B)

    Away for a few days and there is so much good news on here! Congratulations on all the losses!!

    @TeresaW1020 good for you doing all the tracking and with the weight training! With all the stress that you are under, I don’t know if I could have said no to those church lady casseroles! Yummm!!!!

    @trooworld so glad you are feeling better! I was thinking about you this morning when I was listening to our local talk radio station. They were doing a piece about weather changes and migraine headaches, apparently it is not that uncommon!

    @Cornanda Even though we know it is part of the process, it doesn’t make it hurt any less. My kids are all in their 30s and at times I still feel the same way. Although I must say having grandchildren helps a lot🥰

    The weather has finally turned here🥳. We are sticking right around the 0° mark, after being in the -30s and -40° for the last few weeks we are all outside. Some people are even walking outside in their shorts🤣. This is actually quite typical here, as soon as it gets around zero people put on their shorts LOL!
    I have been getting out with Vannie for lots of walks, also getting to the gym. The new classes that I have started, power barbells and interval training are absolute killer classes. I did the power barbells for the second time today, I had to soak in a hot tub with Epson salts LOL! @TeresaW1020 I am hobbling right along with you and your dear hubby:)!

    Hi everybody!
    Today was a really good day. I saw the Urologist and I don't have to go back for another year. Feels strange to have my first 2023 appointment set already. I bring my Kindle and read while I'm waiting, I'm enjoying my book (read 1 book a month goal). I found my next recipe to try, it was shared on the This or That Recipe Challenge by @bumpbreakcar I will make it soon. It's the Mushroom Cauliflower "Rice" Skillet Recipe (try 1 new recipe a month goal). The Squash Soup also looked tasty to me. I'm working on my goals and when I'm not working on them, I'm thinking about them.

    Both of my knees are currently hurting like you know what, I have them wrapped and doctored up with pain gel. Hopefully they will get better soon. But the ache is so bad I just want to cry about it.

    This is my contest room. I added 3780 items to the room.

    Hi everyone, I'm a few days behind so I'm just going to catch up real fast and drop a meme that reminds me of when I did earth energy meditation (spring can't come fast enough, it's not THAT cold compared to other people but too cold for bare feet on grass!) The psychic I went to with my friend saw me doing that and said to let the negative out of the roots and suck up what you need so maybe that will help someone else, who knows. I helped with a charity event last night and today decorating boxes to drop off at businesses to collect Valentine's for seniors in homes, we decorated last night and I dropped off a few boxes today, good thing Dairy Queen wasn't open or I may have talked myself into a Blizzard! I had some gardening to do but couldn't finish it, hopefully tomorrow. I was hoping to overwinter some of my tomatoes but none survived December. That's about it here, still recovering so I'm laying low. Have a great Wednesday! qbr6jp0m6l67.jpg

    @Katmary71 I’m in awe of all the volunteer work you do. With all of your pain and health issues you still find time to help others.

    @tammymccrady6278 sorry you had to cancel your trip to Cuba but it was probably for the best. My sister went on a cruise and tested positive on her way home so can’t leave San Juan for 10 days which doesn’t sound terrible except that they’re in a hotel room with no balcony and they can’t leave their room. No choice of hotels, it’s $400 a day plus food expenses. And if her husband tests positive after their quarantine they have to stay another 10 days. This was a rescheduled pre-Covid trip they had to use or lose.

    @FutureTrophyWife Reversing diabetes is a great goal. I hope you’re able to reach it by your next doctors appointment.

    @Cornanda I know what you mean about “different” when the kids leave. Our son just moved out and it feels weird without him here, not good or bad just different. I like having my kids home but I’m happy for them as they move forward with their lives.

    I’ve decided I need to go back to square one and focus on my sleep again.

    I didn’t overindulge though the holidays and have been eating healthy since. I’ve been doing IF a few days per week and this is day 12 of No Added Sugar. My workouts aren’t always spectacular but I’ve been doing them consistently and the scale won’t budge except for up after a bad nights sleep. Very frustrating. I’m hoping sleep will be the key ingredient I need to get things moving in the right direction again

    @Jactop wow that’s horrible for them. I’m glad we canceled.

    @Cornanda things do get better and you will find that empty nest feeling eases up. I remember going through that with my boys. As much as I can close my eyes and still see them a babies and it just seems like yesterday for me the letting go and seeing them stand strong on their own two feet and start to make their mark on the world is really rewarding.

    @TeresaW1020 I’d be concerned with the dizziness is it all the time or intermittent. Have they said what it is. It’s good you took the pup to daycare. Saves the hubby definitely.

    Hi all. So I was a good girl and did all the housework I had planned to do on Monday but didn’t lol yesterday. I’m back to work today and feel well rested. I am tracking daily and feel good with the meal choices I have made lately. Today is my stepdaughter birthday and I will have to be strong cuz I love birthday cake. Lol especially chocolate like she wants. Well hope everyone has a great day.
