It is what it is.

@fushiakat Your hair sounds really pretty, kind of funky!

@Cornanda if you are anything like me, you will totally get lost in your pictures. It’s so much fun, but never ending LOL.
Well… At least it was only a bit of a binge and not fall on!
I feel bad for your pup, such a worry.♥️

@trooworld I don’t watch the Super Bowl, I never knew there was such a thing as a puppy bowl LOL, sounds like fun! Sushi sounds like it was a good choice.

@fatfifties huge congratulations on the 50 pounds down!!

@TeresaW1020 so glad to hear that things are OK right now. It sounds like you have been on such a roller coaster! Please do take good care of yourself and Joe♥️

@tammymccrady6278 good for you with being consistent with your steps!! Do you work out online or belong to a gym? I signed up at a gym in November and really just tried a lot of classes, now I do my favourite classes, doesn’t seem like work at all! It’s a lot of fun :-).

Mondays are a super busy day for me activity wise. I have spin class in the morning and then Vannie‘s agility class in the afternoon. I am very glad that I am doing spin class now, so I can keep up with her🤣. My word she moves fast! It was a good day today, able to stay on track with my eating, I was able to do spin class this morning all the way through, that felt like an accomplishment. I think I am finally healed up from Covid 😮‍💨

@FushiaKat Im so happy that you were able to find something to enjoy for your bday. I actually added those exact same ones to my cart when I went searching for alternatives for you! I had one tonight and I personally love them! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did 🤗

And thank you! I haven’t seen the leaderboards yet but that makes me feel like all my effort is working. Lol.

@TeresaW1020 Just wanted to reach out and let you know that I have read your update and I will be praying for you and your husband. 🙏❤️

Stupid TOM is about to visit...blaming him for this one!

@trooworld – Love your idea of an NSV notebook. Hunter just bought me a fun one with dragonflies (my fave), so I think I’ll dedicate it to happy NSVs OMGoodness is Daisy not the cutest?!? Wow…100% home made lasagna? Yeah…he’s a keeper
@Cornanda – Thank you for your Feb 8 graphics. I needed them! Congrats on dropping into the next decade! And hugs on all that worry. I do the same thing…when one thing goes wrong, my hateful self really gets going on demeaning me for everything. We just need to keep working at our self love.
@FushiaKat – Awesome job on the losses – both current and over time. Over 71# is amazing! What fantastic advice for @amioc that I needed to be reminded of, too. We definitely need to have our “why” and everyone’s “why” is different. But with counting calories and staying below, we can all achieve our end goals.
@laurelfit57 – Cracking up at where you found your tablecloth! I’d do that normally without any help from covid!
@Katmary71 – Hugs to you and prayers for your nephew. It was tough getting Hunter to go to school. Hers was mainly separation anxiety, which is part of her bipolar. Oh man, I dreaded those days. And here she is, 22 years old now, and will still sometimes have issues going to work if I’m at home. And good for you for being able to tell people NO. I remember my BFF telling me so many years ago that she wished she could tell people NO the way I did – with no hesitation. I told her that, being a single mom of 3 kids, kept me in check. If I can do something for someone and want to, I will. If not, then I say no and they’ll find someone else to help. It all works out.
@TeresaW1020 – Continued prayers for Joe and you.
@fatfifties – congrats on losing over 50 pounds!

Well, my peeps, I think the wave of depression is starting to flow back out to sea. I’m feeling a bit better and hope to be on here more. Definitely need the accountability. We celebrated Hunter’s Birthday this past weekend (overnight in Grand Rapids) and the girl sure can find all the vegan restaurants. Lots of yummy food, but definitely not the healthiest. I tried making some educated guesses. Between that and TOM about to arrive, I knew I’d be up a bit so I wasn’t surprised. My focus right now is to try and wean myself off soda (AGAIN). I always feel better when I’m not drinking any fizzies, but dang that caffeine gets me! I did get my hair cut a week ago and that has helped with making me feel better. Cut off about 6” to 8”. Feels so super short now! Weird not feeling it all the way down my back when I get out of the shower…anyway, my stylist has been a lifelong friend (we were besties in elementary) so it was great catching up with her. Now if only I could get the hang of curling it like she did! Off to Hunter’s follow up appt with the kidney specialist (today it will be determined if the heavy metal poisoning did any permanent damage). Prayers going up and fingers crossed! Have a lovely day, my peeps!

@trooworld Sorry about the gain this week, but you just need keep moving in the direction you know works for you. I’m in the same boat, by the way!

@laurelfit57 Glad that you were able to enjoy a few days of good weather before another deep freeze hits.

@vegan4lyfe2012 How wonderful that your depression is improving and I hope you continue to feel better. I pray that you get good news from Hunter’s doctor!

@Cornanda I am super sorry that you are struggling right now! Believe me, I understand how hard it is to get back on track when worries are consuming us. Just don’t give up on yourself and you will find your way again.


Good morning Team! I’m jumping on while I have a few quiet moments to focus on something other than home and work life. Joe got his port inserted yesterday and did really well. He is in a little pain and feels weak this morning. We go see a counselor this afternoon to talk about his first chemo appointment that begins tomorrow morning. I’m praying big-time that he can handle it. We are going out to a nice lunch today since he might not feel like eating after tomorrow. My diet has been on and off depending on my moods. This cold is still kicking my butt and I haven’t worked out in well over a week and I miss it. Hopefully, I will get back to it by this weekend.

@TeresaW1020 I'm so glad to hear Joe is doing better since the hospital, you both are in my prayers. Take good care of yourself.

@Cornanda Hugs my friend, I hope you're able to reevaluate and figure this out.

I'm behind but wanted to at least drop in. I had my youngest nephew's band concert yesterday so I went to that and got home late then my older nephew had a setback and didn't go to school and was having a panic attack so I rushed over, I was 10 minutes into a workout and pulled my jeans over my workout clothes and headed out. My Mom took over for noontime. I told the holistic pain group I'd be by to drop off something they left in my car moving and bought my curcumin supplement and brought home the wrong one so I had to go back. I took the two that just moved in together a pot of herbs too so I had to get that together. SO I finished my workout and talked to a friend and now I'm in bed with my computer totally exhausted. I'm still having hormone issues switching back to the pill, you'd think after 16 days my body would realize what's going on, if it keeps up I'll have to go back and just get Depo again I guess. It was too cold for me (legs seize up when I'm cold) to have ice cream with everyone last night so aside of the Superbowl I've done great this month, of course I haven't lost anything though!

Oh, the German gardening technique is Huglekulture, you do it in raised beds and put wood at the bottom, then leaves, then grass and potting soil or dirt then your plants. I can't do raised beds so I'm just doing a huglekulture compost pile on a flat area on the hill but I can't be in this much pain to do it because I can barely feel my feet and trip easily. Happy Thursday you amazing awesome people, have a great one!

@FushiaKat - not sure exactly when it is, but Happy Birthday!

@TeresaW1020 - Glad to hear Joe feels better. Hope the port goes well. Still praying for you both.

I'm in a bad place today people. Letting worries affect my food behavior. Another binge yesterday. My weight is up 5 pounds this week! Sometimes when I'm feeling down, I will also pile on other things I'm doing "wrong". I realized that I've never fully gotten back on track after the holidays. Partially but not fully. Been making excuses for myself. So, today, I will try to get my head in a better place and get this train back on the right track. A long walk, a bit of rest and some journaling is the plan.

I’m sorry your in a bad place @Cornanda 🙁. I’ve been feeling the exact same way since December 😢. It’s ever so hard to pull yourself out of it. If you ever want a chat feel free to message me.
Like you I haven’t got back on track with eating since December 🙁 if you figure a way out of this
please let me know

Like many, I too dropped the ball at holidays, followed by my January pity-party for missing to improve in a year, and THEN I decided to act like an adult😁. So, from February 1st I’ve been doing something physical 6 days a week (easy stuff but anything beats the zero from before) … and my scale shot up about 4lb. I also decided to do this for 3 months, regardless of the scale readings.
This week I dropped some water weight, no biggie, my eyes are on May 1st. Date has no meaning but I have to untangle myself from instant results expectations and 3 months sounded reasonable.
Biggest improvement so far, it seems that I’m grumbling less when I start exercising. Really- my next decision might be about the inner toddler 😁.

I'm stuck an it's depressing

@FushiaKat If I remember correctly if it's under 10 calories they can say zero calories but I may be wrong.

@amioc Is there anything we can do to help you? Maybe some kind of group activity would help everyone if you have any ideas? @Cornanda ?

@trooworld You sound busy with work, hang in there my friend! Hope you were able to loosen up a bit, waking up stinks!

@GabiV125 Sounds like a good plan with 3 months, are you starting to like exercise? It's the best part of my day to be honest, wouldn't have thought I'd be saying that a few years ago.

@leonadixon Let us know how the hula hoop goes, I was checking those out a few years ago! Is your knee feeling better now? I hope so!

@laurelfit57 Way to go on staying on track, sweet dreams!

Hey gang! My nephew made it to school but I woke up and worked out early in case he didn't, was pretty worn out so I've had a real mellow day. Everything I order from Amazon has been screwy as far as clothes so I've made two returns in two days which is annoying. Workout was good, ate well, have Asher curled up purring next to me, life is good. I'm off to finish my cozy mystery, night everyone have an amazing Friday!
