Onward teammates!

@bethanie0825 Oh no, I hope the damage will be covered by insurance. Hugs my friend.

@trooworld I took a screenshot of your Trader Joe's review, thank you! When I tried Unexpected Cheddar I was kicking myself for not trying it before, it's so good! Cheddar with parmesan, of COURSE it is! They have it in a spread now that's getting good reviews. I saw that about the YouTube PTs, Bob and Brad are pretty good as far as physical therapists, I've watched a lot of theirs. Ask DoctorJo is another of people's favorites on there.

@TeresaW1020 Doctors are funny how they react to weight loss. Mine walked in and asked where I went because I used to be such a big girl and said "big girl" 3xs. She's bigger than I used to be so who is she calling big, geez. It's definitely nice not to be in the obese category! Good luck to you and Joe with all the appointments!

@happysquidmuffin Prayers for you and your family, hope things calm down soon. Cortisol LOVES to hold on to weight unfortunately.

@FushiaKat I have to toot the horn for you, Kat's lost over 100lbs now! That's so amazing, congratulations! I was going to reach out to you about my kitties for advice but they've calmed down with the diffuser, thank goodness. Congratulations on 33 years with your husband!

@DrewsAnna Glad to see you, I'm sorry you've been feeling run down from the injections. Boy you have a lot of Scorpios and Sagittarius's in your life! How do you do the parties in October, you would have to group them with that many. My SIL, youngest nephew, and Mother's Day are within two weeks and my SIL has this thing about her birthday being shared with Mother's Day and hating it growing up then she goes and has a baby 6 days before her birthday, I say she did THAT one to herself, getting together three times during the 8th-14th is a lot so we usually have to do two on one weekend and one the other weekend. Sorry I just rambled on you, just can't imagine that many in a row!

Hi gang, think I missed some, I couldn't make it on last night. The pain clinic made changes a week ago and have been resting but kept going downhill and got really bad yesterday, the pain clinic closed at 4 and at 5 the recording for my medical clinic told me all the operators are gone after being on hold for 40 minutes. I couldn't get to the urgent care covered by my insurance 12 miles away as I could barely move my feet, ankles, or knees so I got to the ER a few miles away as fast as I could while I could still lift my feet to drive. I've never frozen up that fast before. I haven't had to go to the ER since I started the pain clinic so I felt like a wuss but the doctor told me I'm the exact patient that makes his day and is easy to help because I'm doing everything right and not coming for pain drugs and did try all the right channels before coming just need something to get inflammation down (steroids). He was saying how broken the medical system is now, there were 42 people in the ER last night and since it took me a year to get in a pain clinic during COVID fighting like a madwoman I fully get it plus going there a lot a couple years ago I saw what the doctors and patients went through in the ERs during COVID and it got pretty crazy. I was there for 3 hours, got my prescription at closing (snuck Ben and Jerry's in too), then came home. Bill's coming Thursday night and we'd planned an Apple Hill trip to check out apple farms and eat apple goodies but that's not happening unless I have a miraculous recovery. Anyhow, looking forward to feeling better soon! Let's have an awesome Wednesday!

Thanks you guys ❤️ I’m hanging in there. It’s hard. I’m sorry I’m more take than give at the moment. I wish I had time to read everyone else’s updates more closely. I’ll get there again eventually. I hope you all are doing well.

@Katmary71 Ohh my what a terrible ordeal you had but it sounds like you had a very good ER doctor. I am lifting you up in prayer for that miraculous recovery!

@shaunarlr83 Good for you for snapping out of your depressed mood and getting in two workouts and buying some healthy snacks. That’s the way to turn things around for sure!

@trooworld I’m so sorry you are in such pain from your sprained knee! I know that must hurt like the dickens. And to have a headache on top of it all. (((hugs)))


Hi Team! It’s a beautiful fall day here and I’m loving this cool weather. I can’t wait to be on vacation next week and see all the colorful leaves in the mountains. Today I went and washed my car, got myself an iced coffee from Starbucks, and had a nice visit with a girlfriend who loaned me a suitcase to use for my pillow and fan. I can handle any hotel room as long as I have the two most important items to help me sleep. Well, I will also need a lot of melatonin and some wine too. I didn’t manage a workout today but plan to get a good one in tomorrow.

Hi all - super stoked with a loss - the first week of my trip I was really good but the last 3 days I let it go a bit and was kind of dreading the scale. Saved by the consistent exercise which I really enjoyed. Also will admit I did my workout *before* weighing this morning so maybe that gave me a few bonus grams 😊.

Glad to see that 6 back!

@DrewsAnna – Happy Birthday!
@TeresaW1020 – Enjoy your vacation and share some photos. I love the mountains but rarely get to see them!
@Katmary71 – Yes, this will be the true test. Hope he’s a keeper!
@Trooworld – I’m sorry about the way your husband spoke to you. Very disheartening and I know I would be embarrassed as well. Hugs.
Hey, peeps. Sorry I’ve been so quiet lately. I was ready to quit as some of you know. Life is hard. And it’s tough being happy for my son and his wife giving me my first grandbaby (due April 20) when Hunter (my 22 year old Bipolar daughter for those of you that don’t know) just told me SHE is pregnant, too (due June 6). How can I be happy for one child but not the other? Please don’t think less of me. I’m just so concerned because Hunter can turn into a rampaging toddler herself. She told her siblings and my son called me to tell me he is concerned that I will be the one to end up caring for Hunter’s baby full time. Please pray for Hunter to have a smooth pregnancy (her psychiatrist said she can continue with one of her meds, but not the other after the 2nd trimester) and that she and her fiancé are able to handle this new path. She is very impulsive. They had a wedding planned for May next year, but last night she filled out the marriage license application and said they are going to get married on the 28th. As in 2 weeks from now. Please, Lord, let this be a step towards maturing!
Let’s end on a funny note. My mother wanted me to take her on a foliage drive, so I took Monday afternoon off work and we headed up the coast of Lake Michigan, from St. Joseph to Saugatuck. I had asked some vegan friends for recommendations of where to have dinner in Saugatuck and decided on a brewery. Now, mind you, I haven’t had a drink in 17 years (I quit drinking because I was going to quit smoking…which I did) but my mom said she wanted a hard cider. So get this…they wouldn’t serve my 79 year old mother because she didn’t have ID with her! Can you believe it?!? So, of course, I didn’t get any alcohol, either. Guess that was God reiterating to me not to drink! Side note, I did talk to one of the owners and she explained their new liquor license required it and there’s a County Commissioner that has a bee in his bonnet and will do everything to get them shut down. She felt so bad. The other co-owner contacted me later and insisted on sending me a gift card to come back because all the employees told her how kind we were about the entire situation and that we just kept chuckling about it. Well, I chuckled. My mom pouted.
And on that note, my friends, if you’ve made it this far into my ramblings, I thank you deeply for listening to me. I appreciate each and every one of you.

Sending hugs to @DrewsAnna @trooworld @Katmary71 and @vegan4lyfe2012

If I had time to write out a novel explaining in detail how I can 100% relate to what each of you are going through, I would. My newest personal growth step is however, trying my best NOT to play the victim and I would most definitely go TOO into details so yes….hugs hugs and more hugs!

We got home tonight! From the time we pulled into the nearest big town to our house, things started to get off kilter, by the time we turned into our drive, things were pretty bad and got worse. The only reason anything is calm right now is bc I’m the only one awake. Sending lots of prayers up that tomorrow will be better. I had big plans once I got home but we are scheduled to leave again Monday morning if not Sunday night and once again, I just don’t want to leave. I doubt I get to do anything on my to do list, especially if the next two days are anything like tonight. Here’s my check in and I wanted to say, hang in there to those who had a gain this week and Congrats to those with awesome losses!!!

Count Down to Halloween
Commitment...

1). 10,000 steps every single day ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m actually doing the dang thang!!! 🤗

2). Hike at least 5 times this month
💔 Still no hiking! 😫😫😫

3). Stay consistent with the 4 BB workouts each week
🌗 I only got 2 in of my LIIFT 4 program, had every intention of doing one as soon as I got home tonight but that didn’t happen. I did do a cardio workout one day so I technically got 3 in. Not the worst week exercise wise but it was definitely a struggle!


Hopefully I can check back in tomorrow with a better outlook! Happy Weekend Everyone!!!

Lost 1.3lbs and getting back on track.i got sick and visited doctor .she conducted several tests .By god's grace everything is normal but i have to take medicines for a month.

@trooworld and @Cornanda It’s both. Another thing I have committed to doing is NOT speaking negatively about my husband so let’s just say…. He’s working his butt off today to get the truck 100% ready for our next trip. Thank God his boss came to help so I can focus on other things that need to be taken care of!!
I hate when you head to the store and can’t leave with what you want, glad it was ready to go today! I have said for years when our dogs leave this world I never want another one. I’ll probably change my mind but they can be just like having kids and I have always been the only one to take care of our animals. So I feel I would enjoy a break. I 100% know what you mean by how we can trick ourselves!!! When guesstimating calories I always guess much much too low and allow myself to eat more, when I don’t log I hinder my progress so much!



So far today has been better. Lots of hustle and bustle and I’m about to slow it down a bit and do leg day 😉

@shaunarlr1983 - Hope things are better today and I also hope that you don't have to get back on the road right away today. You've made a lot of resolutions this year- about your health and avoiding negative speak. What a great job you are doing sticking to them. How was the leg workout?

@Katmary71 - I don't think I've seen you down this long- EVER. Hope you woke up feeling good today and prayers and hugs are on their way to you.
