Good evening! I've taken quite a long hiatus from participating in TBL challenge! I am looking to turn that around as I've let things slide around me!
I'm Christine for those of you I haven't met yet! I just turned 30, live in Connecticut, and am married with two cats and two dogs.
I'm looking forward to being back!

Yes!! Excited to see you back!!
I myself have allowed myself to self wallow last month and my weight is reflecting that. Here is to a fresh start!2 -
Hello TBBT.... I am hoping November can be a turn around of this climb I am on. The last quarter of every year is always busy with tons of celebrating and I always seem to lose my focus. Add in those pesky midlife hormones and some stresses (not normal life stresses) and this girl is fighting a mental game that I can't afford to lose because that translates to gains and a downward spiral of my achievements. Why is -2 so hard to achieve but a +5 is an easy overnight (non) achievement?
Overall I have had highs and lows as my journey started last October but Nov 1 was first day of conscious awareness of what went in my mouth. So in that regard, I am and have kept 16 lbs off in this year.. but can't let myself celebrate because at some point over this year I WAS down 33 lbs.
All I can do is refocus (again 😔) and strive to build upon my achievements and not let my mental game mess me up.
New month weigh in...

Yes ma'am, for the last month and a half I have been miserable. Back hurting all the time. Went to see the surgeon that did my surgery and he told me it was just the arthritis and gave me a steroid shot in my knee. That did not do anything, so I scheduled with a new doctor to get a second opinion.2 -

I’m Jenn. I’m a single Mom of 3 incredible kids (23, 12, 7). Please be patient with me. I sustained a horrific fall about 2 months ago and am recovering from several bodily fractures. I also endured a traumatic brain injury affecting multiple processing centers.
Sometimes Lisa, my Home Care Aide posts about how I am doing. She also edited this intro (from an old one) for me. She calls me Jennifer because I get a little confused and it helps me understand the professional dynamic of our relationship. We are working to restore my independence but it will be awhile yet. My TBI can make social interactions or life in general a little challenging. Sometimes I don’t say the right things and it can be difficult to understand me. If you can’t follow it’s okay to ask, I have to do that alot. Lisa tries to let me be me but she is always here to help translate. I have good days, really bad ones and some in-between.
Weight loss is not a focus while on the path to healing. That’s what my oldest daughter says and she is the boss right now (she posts sometimes too). That hasn’t been an easy change for anybody! I was in this group before my accident. I stay because these ladies are very special to me. I don’t have much outside of them to keep me grounded. I feel blessed to have crossed each and every one of their paths. I can’t wait to get back to kicking toosh again. Go TBBT!4 -

I was able to get away from my desk yesterday for two short 10 minutes walks. Burned just enough to keep me under. Woot! I almost see the light at the end of my work tunnel, but it's partially blocked by the oncoming holidays. 😧
Have not caught up with MUAC, I apologize. It's on my list for this weekend. 🤞 It's going to be 75 here so no guarantees that I will stay inside. 😉
The October results are up also. I will try and copy the links later, but you should be able to see them on the main BL page.
Happy Friday!! 💕1 -
@sandkp Hang in there! You've done great! So you gained a few pounds back, no big deal. You are still down from where you started and that's great! Plus, spending time with your boys this summer and finally getting to go on that fabulous vacation was more important. All of those sayings like "How many women on the Titanic passed up dessert?" May be trite but they're true. We can't stop enjoying life and the foods we love just because we are trying to lose weight.
As for the hormones I feel you there! If you are a reader check out "Excuse Me While I Disappear" by Laurie Notaro. I laughed out loud so many times my husband came to check on me. 😂 Plus I learned a few things about being a woman of a certain age. Like losing your eyebrows is totally normal. I just recently realized they were gone! I was like WTF? 🤷♀️
Anyway, I digress 😁 Long way to say start from today and move forward. You're doing great. 🥰1 -
@JbeanR0212 Hi Jenn! Great to see you! So happy you are getting use of your arms back, that's great news. Don't apologize for anything, we're just glad that you are improving and stopped by to say hello. Now I have to go rifle through my music 🎵 to find a happy dance. 🥰1

I swore I was never going to see a 2 before my weight again! I have to get out of my head and remember weight loss starts in the kitchen and not all on the exercise I can not do. I promise to be a better member of our team 😒2 -
