@vegan4lyfe2012 - Thank you, THANK YOU for the lovely avacado toast card! It is so cute. I love how I can make the toast pop up! It's on my desk and will bring me lots of smiles.

I ate terrible all week. By terrible I mean I ate what I wanted when I wanted zero restrictions except for gluten. I hardly exercised like I should. Somehow I lost three pounds.

It doesn't make sense to me.

@megnolia82 I can't speak for Michigan but I looked at Walmart app for my area and it's available over the counter. Hope that helps

I appreciate this! So guess what… I drove to the States today to get my Bonine. The first pharmacy didn’t have it but the pharmacist directed me to Dramamine with meclizine. So I picked up one package. But I wanted some actual Bonine just to be safe since I know it worked. I stopped at a Walmart pharmacy and found it! Picked up 3 packs. It says “new, faster acting” but it was the only type they had so I didn’t think anything of it.

I got it home and realized the Bonine is diphenhydramine - aka BENADRYL which I can buy at any corner store around here! I feel so stupid! I would have usually checked on my phone if the “faster acting” bonine was the same as the old one but I didn’t have roaming on, and I was so happy to have found it, it never occurred to me it would be a different formula.

So now I have 3 packs of something I don’t need and 1 absolutely precious pack of the thing I didn’t think I needed which is what I actually wanted!

Anyway… the drama! Lol.

On the plus side we had a wonderful lunch at Chili’s (not available in Canada) and I found an amazing salad with around 500cal and no dairy or corn or beans which wouldn’t agree with me at the moment.

Just have to laugh about it now.

@megnolia82 glad you were at least able to get one pack! Is it something that you can order and have posted to you, or will customs confiscate it? And the cruise is such a great motivator! Where are you going?

@trooworld I'm currently sitting here in yoga pants and a t-shirt. It's pretty much my daily uniform until it hits summer and it's too hot for anything but light dresses. 😅 But it does feel good to get dressed up!

@19shmoo69 congrats on the loss! it's interesting how that happens sometimes.


Anyone else struggle with weekends?
I'm good all week, then the weekend comes and something happens that messes up my plans. I think one of the problems is that I don't meal prep for my weekends. Which means if I don't prep a meal and there's other (unhealthy) options that are more convenient, I'm likely to go for that. Especially if it's something I'm making for the rest of the family. So I'm going to give prepping twice a week a go, so I have breakfast and lunch ready to go for all 7 days of the week. I plan out dinners pretty well, so they're not so much an issue. It's more breakfast or lunch that will end up being messy. Hopefully this helps keep the weekends a bit more on track.

@megnolia82 according to the app the bonine in my store is the meclizine not benadryl. Sorry it want the same up there

Sorry I am late was out of town yesterday

@steffibabiie You're doing awesome! I'm sure the plateaus will happen but hopefully not for awhile yet.

@trooworld So glad the headache is gone for you! Hey do you have any good stuffed butternut squash recipes you love? I've been saving them on Pinterest and thought you might have one you love.

Hi friends! I worked out this morning then went to Walmart and returned a pair of jeans and did some grocery shopping then worked and have one project left in the yard to do. The pain clinic still can't fax my info to the surgeon, I've called about 5 times now so I may just have to do drive it over in person but if you can't either send or receive a fax properly you shouldn't have an office job, just sayin. It's absolute BS all this time is being wasted. Good no junk day even though I have a migraine and want all the chocolate ice cream in town.

Congratulations to everyone having a loss this week 🎉🎉🎉🎉


@steffibabiie congratulations 🎊 you’ve hit onederland! Into the 100’s and doing great. I’ve been watching and you’re killing it. Plateaus are inevitable but just keep at it and it will come off.

@trooworld bird watching 👀 at my house is a thing this week. Since returning we found a jungle. No gardening over the summer and the birds seem to love it. We have so many new little birdies of different types. Typically it’s pigeons and some little birds that hang out in my window shades but now it’s a whole new world.

@Katmary71 I am so sorry that your dr office hasn’t taken care of your paperwork. Back in the day I worked in an imaging clinic and we suffered from this constantly. I’d call and call for reports, sometimes Id threaten to drive over and get them myself. I hope they get your settled soon.

@megnolia82 i’m glad you managed to get a box of what you needed. I hope you are feeling better soon and won’t need it.

@19shmoo69 congrats on the loss. Sometimes a change in eating does that.

Well I woke up to a loss today, sadly WI was yesterday. My luck 😂

The little one is doing better today. Her temperature has finally broke and nose has slowed down. Cough still hanging on. Improvements and I’ll take it. I was able to sleep for 6 hours!

Hubby is able to move his arm out a bit more. It’s very weak but more range. Hopefully he can start therapy soon and get to moving better. He really broke himself to pieces. People enjoy sports but be careful! His wild days are over! Glad he agrees now. When I entered that trauma unit he was calling for me. His only words that night to me were, “I’m sorry and I will listen to you for now on” and you know I’m getting them engraved in stone!

As for myself, I’m really hoping yo get to my own cycling today or a weights workout. Something!

Have a great day 💐

@DrewsAnna Yay congratulations!

@AmbersWay Thank you it finally made it, now the doctor has to see it and they'll make an appointment. One step closer! Haha sounds like you need a keychain with your husband's words from that night made for him so he doesn't forget once he's feeling a bit better. Hope you get in a workout today!

@megnolia82 100 day goals for the win, I'm excited for you!

@trooworld All three of those recipes look awesome, thank you! Hey have you tried the Korean Chicken in Rootitoot's cookbook? I was thinking of making it when my neighbor comes to dinner Thursday and haven't tried it yet, sounds real good though. Sprouts has their organic winter squash on sale so I may have to go get a bunch now. Darn headache I hope you're feeling better when you read this!

Hi friends! Slow night hope everyone is doing well! I slept in a bit and got up, worked out, then finished off the garlic at the farm today. Did a little too much yesterday in the yard and am worn out but I made Skinnytaste's Giant Parmesan Turkey Meatball for lunch meals for the rest of the week. I'm going for an 85 cent Blizzard at DQ tomorrow for “dinner” then my neighbor's coming here Thursday. So not “junk” but I'm classifying my popcorn as junk since it's not healthy but it's in my calories. Have a great Wednesday friends! Another week flying by.

Ok I woke up at 192.8 today. My lowest since I started with you all. Why couldn’t this be on WI DAY??? 😂😂😂

I am going lunch (Italian) with the gals on Saturday so that will likely kill my next weigh in. Ugh 😩

@trooworld the recipes look amazing, especially the cordon bleu. Yum yum! I hope the migraine passes quickly. Hugs!

A keychain? I am thinking a tattoo on his forehead at this point! We found out that he broke some right side ribs too, which explains some of his pains there. This man needs a tracker, bubble and voice recorder on repeat that I will listen to my wife!

@Katmary71 I am so glad they got that fax done. How frustrating. That’s how I ended up with 12 hour days, I wouldn’t leave patients like that. It wasn’t necessarily my job but I’d make sure it was done. I miss that job. It was a small town in Florida and I was newly married. Good old days. I hope you’re feeling good today.

@megnolia82 enjoy the cruise 🚢

@megnolia82- I'm happy you are feeling so good and that's awesome your plantar fasciitis is doing better.

Doing better this week. I walked 1.8 miles in my neighborhood which is the first time I went out to walk normally I do it at home on the treadmill. I've also been trying out different dance workouts to get in cardio and make it fun. I've notice muscle developing on my arms and I'm so happy. Even in high school when I was average size I didn't have this muscle tone. It's awesome to see the changes in my body. Its small changes but still it means what I'm doing is working.

Got answers from GI doctor biopsies, MRI and bloodwork were good. No cancer or infection. Yay! He gave me two meds to take to get my digestive system working and I'm to continue on my healthy eating and exercise. Looking to repair my liver and prevent development of autoimmune disease which my bloodwork and family history shows I'm at high risk of developing. But still good news I can reverse and improve my health.

Hope you all have a great day.

@vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you for the birthday and breakfast cards, I love them!

@AmbersWay Congratulations on the great weigh-in! Thank you, sounds like you were a great help to your patients, I wish you'd trained the people I'm dealing with! That Italian lunch sounds like fun, I hope you have a great time.

@megnolia82 I love your posts! I'm loving reading your wins, those are great NSVs! Keep being awesome!

@965jessica I'm so happy you're seeing results, you earned those muscles! Yay on the results, that's great news! If you needed confirmation you're doing the right things for your health you definitely got it between all the medical and physical feedback, keep it up! Do you have a favorite dance instructor? I have a bunch saved if you ever want a playlist of mostly one-song dances just let me know.

@trooworld Hey yes you DO need to make the Giant Parmesan Turkey Meatball! I'll let you know on the chicken, I'm making it tomorrow with rice and long beans. OMG that's so scary about Violet getting away, thank goodness she followed you. She scared the headache right out of you! It's terrifying when that happens, when Jasper got away from me the last time I took him out I was so traumatized I refuse to try again.

@Neon_Ninja Happy birthday to your Mom, that should be a fun celebration! Lifting hay bales is a serious workout, wtg!

Hi friends. Had a mellow day, I cleaned the house, worked out, caught up on work, and just got back from having a Blizzard with a friend. Dairy Queen has metal picnic tables which means I can't sit there long but my friend's not in the best mood so I don't feel bad for leaving after an hour. I'm having my neighbor over tomorrow then my best friend and her boyfriend are coming weekend after next so I'm trying to get the house as clean as I can now. Bow Wow Days is this weekend, it's an event thrown by the charity raising money and food for animal shelters. I'd told my oldest nephew about it in case he wanted to come help out to get volunteer hours for school and he just may do it which would be a lot of fun, I think he'd have a great time. I had a Blizzard so I had junk but otherwise it was a good day. Have a great Thursday!

@Katmary71- I don't have a favorite dance instructor just trying out different things to see what feels best for me. I would love to check out your playlist. Thanks
