    Jenn @metaphysicalstudio hope the family drama calms down but it's great to acknowledge it and not let it derail you!

    I've been feeling hungry a lot today so I'm filling the void with water as much as possible instead of with food. Hoping it helps and my body adjusts to the calorie reduction and this goes away soon.

    @evangsimmons170 I'm on an android phone and I don't know if iPhone is the same but as long as I bookmarked the group chat, when I tap on my profile photo in the top right corner, it shows me notifications (the bell shape) whenever anyone has posted in the group chat. Whenever I tap on any of them, it brings me to the group. I hate trying to find the group without that feature.

    Good work on setting your office upstairs! Your dedication is inspiring.

    Thanks! I'll give my Android another try. It's time to get a new one anyway.

    Keep well everyone - and send any extra energy you have to @micki48 - I sure wish we could all descend on you and help! Can you imagine the hilarity, energy, and (of course) the effective completion of all tasks in record time? It would be wild.

    Oh thank you for that @jugar. If only that were possible. It would be a blast. And so much easier. I am truly spent. It was a LOT easier 11 years ago when we came down here.

    I can hardly keep track of what day it is. Tomorrow is weigh in already. We’ll see. I had a loss when I stepped on earlier this week.

    Falling asleep, so I better head to bed.

    I was about to ask if *that* was how you keep your OH in line? :smiley:

    The groundhog died right before Feb 2nd. Must be a sign! I'm glad you have snowshoes down there in MA. Borrow a charger for your Fitbit, perhaps (or get a replacement to keep in the car). :smiley:
    @PlaneMonkey My daughter and I have IBS and have a new book called, "The beginner's guide to LOW-FODMAP" by Sarah Mirkin, RDN. It's been really helpful to gain insights to which foods are the real culprits and which can be swapped out for better choices. I'll mail it to you if you can't find a copy. Good luck with the covid testing.
    @micki48 the national guard should have some group they can deploy to get your stuff in order. My niece is in the Canadian Guard and proved extremely helpful the day of our wedding in 2017. Everyone was about to leave the 2 of us alone with packing up the tables, chairs, and tent (with rain in the forecast). She saved the day by telling the small band of guys exactly what to do and how. Poof! The truck was packed in 10 minutes flat. I wish that for you in the near future! Best of luck.
    @metaphysicalstudio One of the phrases I started to use may be helpful to you, too. "I used to be an emotional eater and now I'm choosing to pause (or whatever)." It's taken me some time to work out that when energies around me ramp up, I can step back and own only what is mine and leave the rest for the others to claim. Use the word D.E.T.A.C.H. as an acronym for "don't even think about changing her/him!"
    If I can do it, you'll be able to, too!

    PW 234.0
    CW 237.4

    Well it's that time of the month so I will just have to live with it. Hopefully next week I'll be below 234.0 and back to weight loss. My increase in fiber has been going well but didn't help much with constipation. I also started taking a prebiotic/prebiotic from a company called Seed. Oh my goodness! This has helped so much with constipation. In fact I would say I feel normal in that department now. I try to eat some fermented foods during the week too. Usually I go for sourdough bread or kombucha. Still not getting much exercise in. Calories are good and I know that matters most.

    I know someone mentioned dry skin awhile ago...maybe it was @Kali225. I have that problem with our cold dry winters. I LOVE the whipped body scrubs from a company called Farmhouse Fresh. My favorite is the triple shot carmel latte. It doesn't leave your skin greasy and is mostly all natural. It also supports an animal rescue. I love a lot of their products.

    @kdblpn He is so cute! Congrats 👏 I think when you are around sad things at work coming home to adorable things is a must! I have definitely spent more time doing play dough with the kids and playing with my pets!

    @ashleycarole86 Congrats on all your hard work lately! I'm getting my masters in Instructional Design. I basically already design all of my Instruction currently since all of my students have special needs and I customize specifically to them. I will need to learn all of the educational theories. Many of the philosophers that influence education theories also influence occupational theories. That will help since I won't be totally lost. This degree will just help me move to the top of the pay scale since I have topped out after this year. I won't change jobs, still going to spend my days playing with kids and toys and begrudgingly doing some paper work too.

    Happy Friday!

    The weather is ugly, so it is an indoors day most likely - plenty of housework to do, and I got a really good exercise session in this morning before my dad and stepmom got up. I skipped yesterday, and it felt great to get going today. I'll do another one later! More mobility work needed after all this sitting...

    @kdblpn that puppy is adorable, and you have picked the most perfect name possible! I love the word gizmo. Here is a fun factoid for you. On a flute, there is actually a key called the gizmo. It closes the lowest key on the flute to facilitate playing some of the very highest notes! We love our gizmos :smiley:

    PW (I can't remember!).

    I've been up and down in weight this week and in mood, so I hope it gets better!

    It's been nice to read everyone's posts!! I hope the start of February has been going well for everyone!

    My name is Bonnie. I live in Toronto, Canada and @kellie_erin is my twin sister. I am currently at a 6-month mark at a new job and trying to finish a PhD (still). I have always struggled with my weight but I definitely struggle more when I am stressed and these last few years have been stressful!
