It's cold 🥶 and windy here today. Bundled up and went for a walk in the sunshine 🌞. Sun was not at all warming, but good for the soul to be outdoors and active.

It was cold and windy here too. Yuck. Spring cannot come fast enough.
I'm actually eating healthy and for the most part not going over the 1500 calories I allow myself to eat. (More if I exercise.) I lifted weights today for about 15 minutes.
Slow, light and steady.
Hope everyone is having a good day!5 -
Where to start. It’s been awhile since I posted. My treatment for C. difficile failed. I ended up at emerg last night with some scary symptoms. Luckily the er doctor was able to find my test results even though I had not heard from my family doctor yet.
I was able to start a new prescription of a different type of antibiotic. Allegedly this one has fewer side effects. Fingers crossed.
Exercise: I went to work 3.5 days this week. I was mobile. I got 10,000 steps most days just doing that.
Food: oat milk. Applesauce. The odd banana. Some rice. Definitely not a healthy diet. Still waiting on that.
Hope you have a good weekend!6 -
@megnolia82- So sorry to hear of the treatment issues. Good luck with this new prescription!2

Best of luck @megnolia82.
@JenAWhite I’m up in Canada and we have had extreme cold warnings for over the last week (think -40 windchill). Might actually get over freezing this week! Hopefully it comes your way too. 🤞4 -
LOL I joked about someone else leaving an empty space after my name and I did it last night with @Cornanda hugs my friend I'm sorry!
@DrewsAnna I'm glad you spent time with your friend and got some walking in. Sounds with the rain like it's a good time to get the treadmill fired up for sure.
@shaunarlr83 Shoot I hope you find a rink! I'm so glad you had the chance to see your aunt before tomorrow, sending prayers and love to you all. You need to march in that gym and grunt and throw things around like the boys! I'm teasing, the first gym I went to as a teen it was like that and I was scared to go in the weight room unless I went in the middle of the night.
@trooworld Chinese food and sodium aren't our friends when it comes to the scale, bet it tasted amazing though! That salad sounds and looks amazing!
@lrjogger1 Woot woot, weekend without homework then? You're doing amazing, great zero wins too!
@sleepygirl79 Yummy fruit, I'm sorry to hear you were stuck with yogurt again! It drives me crazy when I repeat something forgetful.
@micaroo4 Good for you for getting out in the sun and getting some exercise in!
@Brigid42 You did great today!
@megnolia82 Oh no, I hope this new antibiotic takes the infection down, sounds like you had a frightening night. Are you doing any of the pre/probiotic stuff yet or do you have to wait until after the antibiotic works? The healthy diet will come and hopefully get you back to feeling healthier fast, frustrating the first antibiotic didn't work.
Hi team! I spent the morning at the food bank farm greenhouse at the high school and we got a lot done, it's fun to see all the seedlings coming in. I did a short cardio and abs workout then did seeds and came home and worked in my yard for awhile. It's raining and I'm having hormone issues so pain's way up, I just got out of the tub and am off to lay down. Have a great Saturday friends!
No Zeros
healthy food and under calories
did some cardio and abs and decided to skip leg day since I don't feel good and got in starting seeds and getting things done in the yard.
Good water
bath/relaxing music

@Katmary71
I’m taking a probiotic now. I couldn’t tolerate it when I was on my last antibiotic so I started after that round of meds was done. I hope i can keep taking it now. So far so good!
Your volunteer (?) work sounds amazing! What a great idea, i know our high schools have greenhouses, I wonder if they do something similar.1 -

Another random post in case anyone feels like writing Shakespeare over it....
@19shmoo69 - I can definitely see the word whilst inspiring that. Still smiling about it.
@trooworld - I agree- the salad is beautiful. Sorry about the gain. Keep on keeping on!
@Katmary71 - hugs back at ya- I didn't mind a bit
@megnolia82 -- Sending {{healthy vibes}}} I really hope you start feeling better soon, this has to be the pits.
@sleepygirl79 - Lol- sending you {{spoon vibes}}
@JenAWhite - I live in FL now, but I am originally from WI. Grew up near Milwaukee, then lived in Appleton for a good while. I do not miss that weather!
Sitting here- just finished COFFEE. Gus is curled up with me. He's been a really good boy- it's been fun! Have made many notes of things I am doing well and things I am not doing well. Have been avoiding analyzing this list and setting goals.......

Drinking warm coffee and snuggling with a pet is probably the best thing in life.

I'm such a stress eater. The unique thing is since I've been meat only my stress level has been low. That is until yesterday. It came on me hard. I made a box of chickpea noodles with a package of sausage and cheese sauce. Ate the whole thing. Ugh!!!
If I can produce a not can I skip scale day tomorrow?
I just know I've gain ten pounds again. I am my own worst enemy.2 -
Wow! Don't go a few days with out checking in here 😲
🎊Congrats to all that have lost with this week's check in🎉
@tooworld sodium is not my friend neither. I feel so bloated the next day that I have to drink a lot of water to get rid of it.
@shaunair83 🎉🎊CONGRATS ON YOUR LOSS🎊🎉
You look awesome lady!
@sleepygirl79 Snacking ar night is my down fall too. I had to make the decision to not by anymore junk food. The snack drawer is really empty now😣 but I have not had any chocolate (which is my biggest problem) this week😊
@JenAWhite (Forest Gump style)😂 welcome to the group
@micaroo4 Sorry to hear about Rich's friend. Glad you made it through this week at work.
@Katmary71 Hope thing work out soon for you on the spinal cord stimulator. Back injuries are the worst. My husband suffers from it as well.
@megnolia82 Hope the new prescription work for you
@Irjogger1 Prescott is so adorable! 😍 My Sansa use to do the same when I would workout in the rec room.
@cornanda I love my morning coffee time to with Diesel. He is learning what snuggles are all about🤣
This past week has been crazy 😜 Monday's shopping was great. Hubby too my to lunch after at McAllister. Did a choose 2 eat half and took the rest home for dinner that evening.
Our SIL called just as we were finishing up and said he was sitting on the side of road, engine was over heating. We picked up radiator fluid and drove out to him. He was back on road. Long story short we had to go back to the house and pick up trailer and unload groceries. We drove out loaded SUV then back to the house. Gave him my car so he could get home. Oh forgot to mention this was all done while the weather conditions were getting bad and everything was icing up🌨
The rest of the week we were trapped indoors (have you ever been trapped indoors with a 2 yr old Blue Heeler😂🤣😜).
Didn't do much Tues or Wed just little project around the house. Started painting the kitchen, doing some decluttering and organizations.
Thurs the ice started melting and we made a trip to town, with a quick stop at the Dollar Tree to pick up some storage baskets and craft supplies.
Yesterday was dust and vacuum day. It is crazy how much a cat and dog shed during winter 😲
Today I am chilling and crafting.

@megnolia82 That's great I'm glad you can take a probiotic now, get that good bacteria back in your body. Thank you, the food bank farm is new and the school greenhouse said we could have some space in there. What I really like is there's now a head volunteer who focuses on the food bank farm and food bank and he donated some grow lights to the kids at the school so hopefully since we're willing to help them they'll keep having us back. I grew up in San Jose and we didn't have anything like this, they have a great 4H and agriculture area here as it was a farm town before.
@Cornanda I wouldn't be surprised if you're doing better than you think! Gus sounds like a sweetie, I'm so glad you added him to your family.
@Brigit42 It wasn't to me but I 100% agree about coffee and pet snuggling! One of my cats wants cuddles every morning so he leans against my chest and I hug him to me while he purrs his heart out for a bit and relax. I read somewhere cats sit on chests to heal people which would be really sad but sweet too if he's trying to make me feel better.
@trooworld That stage of getting a new phone ready is the pits, hope you love it now that it's good to go!
@19shmoo69 I didn't realize you were doing meat only, aside of the one time how long did you go? I've listened to lectures about carnivore only diets and how they can help many health issues, it's pretty fascinating but I used to not eat much meat so I think it would be pretty hard.
@txcritter69 I hope your husband is hanging in there with his back. Sounds like you've had a lot going on, the weather sounds like a pain! Haha I was just wondering if there was more cat hair than normal, don't they need all that hair for their winter coats, what the heck?
@Jessicakrall8 I'll be there! Gang this is a fun challenge, Jessica gave us a list to choose 5 things to work on for the next week that you can modify to your particular situation if you need to, I hope you give it a go!
Hi everyone! I had a busy day but it was really fun, started off picking up the last Valentine's box in a business then went to the Farm and Garden meeting where the head of the food bank farm talked. I sat in on a talk last year but couldn't swing the application fee to join but joined today. It's really fun, they had lots of free seeds, a woman gave away plants, there's a book lending area, and a raffle plus extra produce then an awesome lecture. The next meeting is going to be about succulents which I have a lot of so I'm crazy excited to share cuttings with everyone! The vice president of the charity I'm with is heavily involved in it and we both had the card proofreading to rush to after it for the Cards for Seniors. My neighbor went again, so happy she's getting out more. I didn't do too hot with cookies and pastries everywhere though, I'm over today and trying not to eat anything else as I'm not feeling too hot from the rain. Just did a small workout, I'm off to take a bath then get in bed and read. Have a wonderful Sunday team!7 -
@Katmary71 I've been meat only going on 2 months. During church potblessed meals I indulge a little bit. Years ago I had problem with sugar. It caused physical pain and instant hardness just below my sternum. It seems it has returned minus the hardness. But the pain is excruciating. I look at it as a bonus. Eating no sugar is healthy. Now I have a physical reason to say no to sweets. Uniquely I've learned it is difficult to feel full from carbs until it's too late. But then I feel like I'm starving shortly afterwards.
I used to joke about the struggle being real but the more educated I get about myself the more the joke is less a joke and more a reality.6 -

At least I'm consistent ?
I'm due for a follow up with my GP and I'm going to request a referral to an endocrinologist. I have PCOS and hypothyroidism; my weight just stays the same regardless.
Anyone have any experience with an endo and what blood tests they run?6 -

Free seeds! That's awesome. Looking forward to seeing your plant pictures again. I think your food bank is so amazing. Sounds like you're constantly eating fresh food. (They are lucky you volunteer so much time there.)
~Love to hear cats purr, very soothing~ Animals do seem to know when we're down.

@FushiaKat - I forgot to say that your cactus garden (and the view from your home) is just gorgeous
@vegan4lyfe2012 - THANK YOU! for the lovely card! Ya'll- she makes the most beautiful cards! You should PM her!
@trooworld - glad the phone is set up. It's fun to get a new one, but not fun until you get everything the way you want it. Sorry to hear that you choked, but today is a new day, so go get it! Did you take your photos?
@19shmoo69- stress eating sucks. And it's a habit that's so hard to break. Try not to let it throw off your momentum- you've been doing well with your diet for two months. Just overlook it and move on. Don't beat yourself up.
@Katmary71 - coffee and cats sounds nice too. I think it's awesome if your cat is trying to heal you. Garden club sounds like heaven for you!
@bethanie0825 - hope the endo can help you. That's frustrating.
@txcritter69 - Trapped in the house with an energetic dog sounds challenging, as does driving around in that weather. Hope for good weather for you this week!

Happy Sunday Everyone!
I'm just sitting here reflecting on life and thinking on how blessed it is to see a brand new day. There are issues in my life that I'd like to be different but when I put them up against other possible scenarios, I'm blessed! My goal today is to make good choices and be intentional. (Note to self: I will log my food in my fitbit app today.)
I love this quote from @Katmary71:
My phrase for the year: "Every choice is another chance to change my health for the better."

Well, not a big loss but a loss. I was 207.4 last Tuesday and 206.8 on Thursday, but today the scale was not my friend. I accept it and will review my diary to see what was different from previous weeks and keep on moving. 😊

@Katmary71 Yes my cat seems to be shedding more then normal but I think it might be due to us really not having a winter. Last week we were in the 20's and 30's and this week we are back up to the morning lows around 40's and the high of almost 70's. So Feb winter is over.😂
The garden and farm thing sound like fun. We don't have anything like that around here.
@trooworld The last 2 yrs were Crazy. This year's winter is a normal one for us. We are in for a lot of rain this month, but we will just have to see. We have a saying here in Tx. "If you don't like the weather here, wait five minutes". I am looking forward to the nicer days with a lot of sunshine.
@Cornanda Yes, he is very energetic. He love to play fetch so he will bring his toys (one at a time) to you until you toss one. I don't know how many time I had to puck up his toys and put the back in his toy box.
Yesterday Brittney(daughter) and Kevin(SIL) came over and while the guy were in the garage Brittney and I went through the stuff that I have been decluttering. We also went through 2 of my 3 closets of clothes and she took all of my size small to medium. I decided it was time to let go of all the wishful thinking that some day I will fit in them. I am going to live in the now. When I do lose my weight, new clothes will be my reward.
Today they are coming over to finish up working on their SUV and she and I will continue to clean out my main closet. I have a lot of make up and nail stuff to pass on to her.
This afternoon we are then going to see Stephen(son) and Tiffany(DIL). My hubby's mom and 2 of our nieces are coming along.
I definitely going to be a busy day.
