@AmbersWay – How is your husband doing? Is he using a bone stimulator? My mom broke her femur and was prescribed one. It was amazing seeing all the subsequent x-rays showing the bone rebuilding so fast. Is he keeping his spirits up? I hope so. Praying for you both.
@trooworld – How is the job going? And is it Violet being violent? If so, is it because she’s still a puppy? I’ve only had one dog my entire life (back when I was in school) and she was the bee’s knees. So I don’t know much about dog behavior. Snickers was a beagle/schnauzer mix and the best ever…I could never have another dog because I’d constantly compare. Nice burn at your Aqua Zumba class! I’ll bet that was so relaxing to just sit and look at the sky. We all should take moments like that more often and just appreciate our surroundings.
@19shmoo69 – I wonder if you replied to something here previously in a British accent and that’s why I ASSumed you were British? Hahahaha
@Katmary71 – I hope you had fun at the peach festival! So did the zero gravity chair help you? I hope all the doctors and surgeons can get on the same page quickly and your insurance covers everything. It’s absolutely ridiculous how long you’ve had to deal with their red tape.
@txcritter69 – If it’s not too late for me to chime in on the sweetener question, I use Stevia (baking/cooking), Agave (replace honey/sauces), German Rock Sugar (tea) or maple syrup (desserts/breakfast foods)…depending on what it’s being used for.
@maggybd – Sounds like I need to hire your cleaning services! I hate ALL housework!
Sorry I’ve been MIA…Hunter is doing a lot better. They will be going back to their home tomorrow…a few days sooner than anticipated because my middle child is leaving her boyfriend in Texas and driving up here (Michigan) this week. He and his family (sister and mother) are all gaslighters and completely overstep (as in the mom contacted Syd’s ex-husband to say she’s not eating). She said she thinks they are trying to make her look unfit so they can take the baby when she has it. I wouldn’t put it past them. Anyway, I told her she could stay with me for a couple months until she gets her own place. She just needed to be out of that horrible situation. I’ll love having her back here, but she’s bringing her dog and 2 cats and I’m allergic. I have been doing some serious stress eating and I’m so sorry to disappoint the team with my weigh in. Yesterday I was back on track…ate under calories AND took a 30 minute walk. I think I need to cut soda out again. I’ve been getting headaches a lot. Adding that to my August mini goals. I hope everyone has a good day. Hugs to everyone!

Congratulations top losers @SatanLuciferJones, @UTMom81 @trooworld !
@DrewsAnna You’re doing great setting yourself up for success!

@AmbersWay Hey if it’s the first gain to post you’re doing really good, congrats, that’s amazing!

@Cornanda Thank you, gentle hugs back!

@trooworld Wow that’s a great burn for your workout! Wonderful day!

@txcritter69 Thank you! You go be amazing as well.

@DebJB30 It IS hard to stay on track with everything when working from home, I have lists all over the place and stay on a pretty strict schedule and still struggle.

@vegan4lyfe2012 I didn’t get to go to the peach festival darnit! I’m comfortable in the zero gravity chair, my old one broke so I’ve been waiting for the end-of-summer sales and just ordered a new one that hasn’t been delivered yet. I’m so glad Hunter is doing better! Oh no, that sounds terrible with your middle child, having her stay with you is smart but the animals are going to be a tough one. Could she keep them somewhere else or at least in a confined room? Definitely understandable on the stress eating, glad to hear yesterday was a good day for you.

@19shmoo69 I think you should change your name to SkittishShmoo, it has a fun ring to it!

Hi friends. Had the pain clinic earlier, I was supposed to have a referral to see a surgeon go through after 2 months because the spinal cord stimulator isn’t a good option with all the stenosis in my spine as there’s nowhere for the wires to go. Today’s doctor I’d never seen before and he said the surgeon wrote back he’d see me after my stimulator was put in but the other pain doc had already told me not to do it so it makes no sense. I’m guessing he read it too fast and if he did then I sure don’t want him operating on my spine! The doctor today said he was confused since the surgeon sounds like he’s go over the pain doctor’s decision to not do it. SO a referral to a different doctor is going out and I’ll see this new guy again in a month if nothing happens sooner. We’re stuck on some symptoms being “go to the ER now” or not like the headache being from high BP or my neck. I did like this doctor because he actually voiced disagreements with others instead of covering, my pain meds are going to be upped for now which I’m not happy about but it is what it is. Not doing the best with any of my goals right now except maybe water.

Have a great Tuesday!
