Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers, I really am so happy. When I tried to leave in August I didn’t stick with it bc I felt I had no support. Not from y’all, I wasn’t being 100% transparent, but I had reached out to a couple of womens help places just because I needed advice and felt they weren’t very helpful or supportive. This time I feel so much love and support and even without it I know I’m happy and I can do this no matter what!

About 6 months ago my daughter had applied for some income based apartments and yesterday my mom and I got to take her to put the deposit down on her very own first place. It’s here in the town we are all staying back in (my home town) and she lives across the street from my oldest niece and only 4 blocks from my brother! It feels so great to be back close to family again. My mom and i drove my aunt and uncle to the city so he could get an eye surgery taken care of and then picked up some groceries. I helped her make a taco pizza recipe she has been wanting to try and my little brother came out to eat dinner with us and my son!!! I let myself have more carbs than I really wanted but it was the first real meal I’ve eaten in 3 days. I still stayed under calories so all is good. We talked about his gym in town and he said he hasn’t been going bc his key wasn’t working and that I had reminded him he needed to text the guy so I told him to tell him his sister wanted to sign up too. I ended up getting myself and both my kids a membership and we went ahead and knocked out a quick workout. After Fridays huge workout day I was super sore from those side bends so I’ve just been doing them weightless as more of a stretching exercise but last night I bumped up the weight to a 20lber. with a row! When things settle in and I have more of a schedule I will check out their classes that they offer sometime.

Looking forward to more family time and getting some things taken care of then I start job hunting. I’m really excited to work. I wasn’t allowed to have a job these past 13 years.

@FushiaKat Oh green chili chicken stew souns amazing! Congratulations on first place for the Halloween contest! I was thinking about you today in the yard, glad to hear you're doing well. The Advent calendar sounds really fun!

@DrewsAnna Congrats on the new laptop! Sounds like you aced the day!

@Cornanda The Dollar Store is pretty fun!

@trooworld great job on the water, stay nourished and get well!

@shaunarlr83 I'm so glad you're feeling supported right now, that will help so much especially being surrounded by family. You're doing some killer workouts! Classes are pretty fun, try everything you can there! I was real intimidated by the stair treadmill and it was my favorite thing to do when I was in remission. I like classes too, I hope you find some favorites.

Hey hey gang! Had a great workout this morning then went on an adventure to get my Mom an air fryer at Target and dummy me didn't look up reviews until I got home. I stopped at Trader Joe's for some things and luckily an employee passing out samples asked me if I wanted one right when I realized I'd waited too long to eat and my blood sugar was low so I said yes and that got me through the register and home, don't try to beat low blood sugar like me (my vision was off and I was anxious and skipped breakfast, it's pretty obvious looking back but I'd checked to see if one of my lens was missing because it was so hard to see). I put a granola bar in my purse but I won't be leaving the house again without eating in the morning. I have a lot to do in the yard and can't finish work as one website's been down for a week so did what I could there. Not much else going on, have a great Thursday! It's been a month since I saw Bill so I'm excited for him to get here tomorrow night!

Hey y'all! I got off to a very low start today but, after a short nap I was able to get moving. I got in a workout and a full body strength afterwards. I'm curious if any of you like Leslie Sansone "Walk at Home" videos? I really like them a lot. They get the sweat flowing.

I'm sorry I have be out of pocket. My new role at work is kicking my rear!

I hope everyone is having a nice November. I am trying not to let stress get the best of me, but as you can see by the numbers, stress is winning

@DrewsAnna I still have Leslie VHS routines! I loved them and all the ones on YouTube when I was in remission, hope to do them again one day! I still have some on a Playlist, she has a mellow enough personality that I love her.

Hi team! Got my workout in and my hair's done, Bill will be here soon and I have stuff for a stir fry ready but I had the meat on defrost for too long and it's almost cooked, hopefully it won't be gross! Not sure how much I'll be around this weekend since I haven't seen Bill on a month, only thing planned so far is Costco. Have a great weekend and slay those goals!
