Good Morning

Congratulations to everyone that list this week!

@Katmary71 sorry you are still in pain. Glad that the farm manager is working with you so that you can still help out at the farm. Being able to do the things you love helps keep your spirits up.

@trooworld congrats on being able to lose each week. That us a great accomplishment.

@AmbersWay Still sending prayers your way. Sucks that the healing process can be so slow. Hang in there, better days are coming.

@tammymccrady6278 Congratulations on your loss!

@micaroo4 That is so cool about your husband's cousins.



This month I have 6 goals:
1.) WAKE UP HAPPY! This has not been a good week. I have this dark cloud hanging over my head.😢
2.) Get all my steps in every day. Did better this week.

3.) Only eat out once a week. We ended up eating out 3 times because we were not home to cook.🍔🍟🌮
4.) Stop the snacking after 7pm. Did snack around 9 pm but only had one snack 🍿not 3😂
5.) Log food and water intake. Did not log anything.
6.) Check in daily with my goals. Checking today

Well, this was a really long week. We has to come to the realization that hubby's dream car is going to be totaled. It has been really tough on him. We are still waiting on the investigation as to who's fault it is.

Then while Diesel and I were out walking Tues morning we had a dog come running at us Diesel's anxiety got so bad that he ended up taking it out on me.
I tried walking with him again on Fri but he was not having it. I am not sure if he is sensing my feelings or if he is having his on problems.

I hope everyone has a Blessed day!
GO OUT AND BE AMAZING TODAY!

I’ll take it. I was worried I’d go up. I think all the steps I’m getting is balancing things some.

@trooworld Wow that sounds like a great zoo visit, how fun! Artie the Aardvark is pretty adorable!

Congratulations team on being 3rd place down in pounds!

@19shmoo69 @DJill68 @sleepygirl79 Congratulations team winners!

@tammymccrady6278 I’m glad you still went and had fun at the ribfest. I agree with you about having treats every once and awhile being worth it. I know of a few rib festivals or celebrations around here, Tahoe has a big one with private invitations and the county above me has some sort of rib competition at the fairgrounds. My brother used to compete in BBQ comps with ribs but hasn’t in awhile.

Hi friends! I was at my parent’s for dinner last night then came home and had a tough time with heartburn last night, it’s from my Naprosyn so I ate something and it improved then would come back an hour later which pretty much was my night, I took a teaspoon of baking soda in water and probably fell asleep around 5AM this morning. I think I’m going to skip it tonight, my body’s off from steroids and being on antibiotics. Got a good workout in, I’m being more careful about protecting my neck now that I know what’s going on with it.
Have a great Tuesday!

This is a photo of Rich and his new-found first cousin Cynthia.

I see a lot of family resemblance. Unfortunately not just in their appearance: they both suffer from asthma and they both struggle with diabetes (although neither one fits the profile for diabetes)

We got a lot of information from Cindy's mom, and we should be able to find other first cousins. Both Cindy and Rich are delighted to have found each other.

@Katmary71 – I’m letting the animals free-roam, but my bedroom and craft room doors stay shut to give me a couple areas with less dander. What a mess with your doctors not all being on the same page. Beyond frustrating. Arguments over salsa?!? That’s so sad! Glad you got your zero gravity chair. It will be nice relaxing outside on it.
@maggybd – Are you ok with eating repeats? Some people (like my son-in-law) can eat the same thing over and over and not care. I couldn’t do it.
@trooworld – Don’t float away with all that water and nice job dropping a decade! Woot Woot! Happy (belated) Anniversary! What a cute aardvark Sorry about your husband sabotaging you. But you made a great choice for yourself and stuck to not getting take-out. Pat on the back for that cuz it would’ve been so easy to just get something delivered.
@Cornanda – Thank you for the prayers. And that quote. I needed the reminder.
@AmbersWay – I hear you about being mentally and physically exhausted. You’re in my prayers, too.
@micaroo4 – Six Degrees of Separation! How cool!
@txcritter69 – Ouch! Your poor leg
Things have been crazy busy for me. Highly stressful with the kids, but at least Hunter and Marcus are on good terms again after a yelling fight. It was kinda cute. Hunter texted Marcus and said, “Please tell Sophie I’m sorry I upset her.” And he replied, “Please tell Byron I’m sorry I upset him.” Roundabout way to apologize, but it still happened. Now I have the added stress of Sydney being at my house (I just wanted to be an empty-nester, is that so wrong?) She is understandably upset about being pregnant and leaving her boyfriend, but dang. There’s just so much negativity I can take. She doesn’t WANT to be happy. She WANTS to think she’s a burden. When I told her to come home, I had said for 2 or 3 months while she saves money and gets an apartment. I asked her last night what her timeline looked like and she said probably a month or so after baby is born. Y’all…that’s not until FEBRUARY. I’ll be working with my therapist to figure out a good way to lay down my “red line” of what I expect, which would be around October/November. If it’s not one kid, it’s another. Life is sucky right now. Trying to hold fast to my food choices as that is about all I have control over right now. Thanks for letting me vent.
No Zero Days August Goals

@Katmary71 I agree with you that Maintenace is scary because I don't want to screw it up and I'm still testing the limits of what I can eat and not gain weight. Seems like that should be a simple thing to figure out but it's not. I know that I gain 4lbs every day from morning till evening so if my weight is off by more than that when I go to bed, I adjust the next day by eating lighter and I keep doing that until I go back down to my normal levels. I weigh myself frequently, I don't trust myself to just say I don't "feel" like I've not gained weight. It's like always having to weigh and measure my food. Something must be wrong with my eyeballs because I never get that right.

I do hope you are feeling better I know it's been hard for you lately. My feed still is not fixed, and I sent more information this morning. It happens in a different browser too. I delete my cache and cookies throughout the day. So that's not the problem and I don't have any browser extensions installed. If they tell me, it's Spectrum, I will be highly annoyed.

Here's to another week in the green!!! 😊💕👍(❁´◡`❁)

A guy my husband knows gave him Yellow Fin Tuna and Blue Fin Tuna, I oil pouched the tuna yesterday and had it for lunch today. I do not like Blue Fin Tuna, but I loved the Yellow Fin and would eat that again.

@vegan4lyfe2012 Congrats on the loss! lol thank you! Yeah unfortunately, that crap happens all the time so I need to just do me. Yeah my norm is to just order the takeout so it was good that I found something to eat here. I'm glad your kids made up. Oh gosh, I feel your stress and I'm sorry, I hope Sydney gets an apt soon.

@Katmary71 Thank you. Unfortunately this kind of stuff happens more than I like. I'm glad I was able to pivot and make a healthy choice! LOL you are so funny but yes, I'll tell him lol. I'm glad you are listening to your body.

Hi all. I had a great day yesterday: I brought my own homemade salad dressing to work and I PRE-ORDERED a salad for lunch when I was full from breakfast so I wasn't tempted to order something else lol. My salad was pretty good. My husband had gotten off work early again yesterday so I took advantage and got off early myself to attend a water aerobics class. I made it there just in time and it was pretty good. But more importantly, I talked to a woman that went to a class that I was intimidated by and afraid to go to. She told me it wasn't too hard and I should come. So, I am going to try to go on Friday.

My phrase for the year: "Every choice is another chance to change my health for the better."

Jennifer this was on my post from yesterday and I lost your name cutting and pasting so here it is:

@vegan4lyfe2012 That’s a good idea on keeping the animals out of a few rooms, how is it going? Huge hug to you, you are far from an empty nester now, I remember you were thinking nervously of how to redefine yourself not having the kids around. I’m guessing looking back on this time you’re going to smile at being with everyone but in the moment I know it’s hard. I’m glad you’re doing well with food choices!

@trooworld That's wonderful to hear from another student that intimidating class is worth trying, I say you go for it and let us know how you do! I can see that being something that may be tough at first then after a few months you'll be one of the pros at it.

Hi team! Woke up not feeling well and did my workout, been napping a lot today. I met my friend for lunch at Panera's (got the yummy Mediterranean veggie sandwich as my favorite Autumn Harvest Soup isn't out yet). It was fun to see her so happy about where she was just hired versus being mad and upset, I hope it's a great fit for her. She wanted to hang out afterward but I'm worn out today, can't wait to get off these antibiotics. I'm leaning toward trying the scan but need to figure out the money part, the idea I have something digestive keeping me from absorbing all these stupid supplements I'm taking is pretty annoying since I don't have a lot of money so it would help solve that issue in the long run and I wouldn't be wasting money. I don't have my fall garden started yet so am going to get some seeds started tonight then get in the tub. My ex-boyfriend is back in the hospital, he's supposed to be having surgery on the tumor in his kidney soon but keeps getting blood clots, I'm real tempted to go there and help get him on track but he's so hopeful about getting back together I think it would get his hopes up.

Have a great Thursday team!

@vegan4lyfe2012 - I got you girl- My two left the nest and now they are both back for the time being. I had just grown to like the nest empty! We will get there. Thinking of you

@trooworld - Your superwoman powers now extend to refusing take out and trying hard exercise classes. Impressive!

@Katmary71 - So much going on with you. I hope that you will get some answers soon on all the different facets of your medical issues. Been thinking of you. That's too bad about your ex. I think focusing on your fall garden is just what you need right now. It will feed your soul.

@micaroo4 - that is very interesting! Keep us updated!

Well, my inspiring post about it being time to try a new approach has led to me stalled out and doing pretty much nothing this week. "I have to think about it, research it, blah, blah blah". It's really just me being frozen and having no ideas. It will be another gain. I don't really understand any of this. I did so well with maintenance for over a year and I don't feel I've changed much. I will get there, the question is when and how much will I have gained by that time. Yes, I am frustrated.

On a cheerier note- someone decided to have a romp in the sprinkler yesterday:

@trooworld Wait just a minute. Menopause can cause halt weight loss and possible weight gain? That's must be my problem. I'm in menopause. I don't know why I didn't think of that. So what happens now?

Hey y'all,

I didn't make it through the 7-day workout plan. Between my hip and my back, it just wasn't happening. I'm really hoping to go for a walk tomorrow, since it's not going to be in the mid 90's again, and I think it's time I cleaned up the spare room so I can get to my treadmill. Right now it's being used for storage.

I have decided to start "golo", I have been on WW for a very long time and it just isn't working for me anymore. On golo you eat 3 balanced meals and take 1 release pill with each meal. It helps to release the insulin resistant fat cells. I went back to skinnytaste.com and printed out a menu and shopping list and I have to finish updating my shopping list.

While I was looking for my "golo" paperwork this morning I found some old, journals/food trackers. In April of 2022 I was 142 lbs. That lit a fire under my butt. I want to get back to 142 and then 130.

That's really all I've got for now.
