Happy Tuesday!
Yesterday was a good day. I finished up putting the new file folders in the cabinets at work and I got caught up on the filing, now that the invoices had a place to go! To finish up completely, I just need to make more permanent labels for the drawers themselves and the boxes full of 2022 files. Right now Post-it notes are doing the job.
I was hungry yesterday, so I ended up eating all of my calories. Makes sense, as I had been leaving some on the table each night. Even though it was an absolutely gorgeous November day (around 55F/13C and sunny), I did not get for a walk. My legs absolutely ache when I have been at work, standing for three hours or more.
I saw a new low number on the scales this morning (new since early summer) and now I am only two pounds from my first goal, Onederland!2 -

Love reading the updates please keep posting praying that your aches subside @HASWLRS2 -
@murdog3t Thanks, Tami! My slightly torn meniscus, my lack of physical fitness at the moment, my weight and the fact that the floors under the tile would be cement as it is a fertilizer plant, all conspire to make my legs ache after a prolonged time in the office. I wear good running shoes and stand on an anti-fatigue mat when I can but it is never enough. I try to keep my shifts short, but when setting up the new year, more time is required. My first physio appointment is on December 5th and my consult with the surgeon is on June 4th. I hope to not need surgery, thus the physio!
You seem to be on a roll...most days are all green check marks! I would say that retirement agrees with you!1 -
@HASWLRS your consult is June 4th? Is that a typo? That's 8 months away!0

No typo. Welcome to free public health care!0 -
Good Wednesday morning to you all! Hope it's a great day!
@HASWLRS Good grief! Hopefully the physiotherapy works in the interim. 😔 Although admittedly it's not much better here sometimes and we pay dearly.1 -
Morning, all!
Have to take my dad to his eye injection appt today. One hour to his place, half an hour to the appt, lunch at Tim Horton's, half an hour back to his place, one hour home. At least it is going to be a beautiful day and the drive to the actual appt is along the Grand River for a majority of it.
Wednesday Weigh-in
8th: 204.8
15th: 201.2 (Not sure about this number, the scale seemed fickle this morning. Maybe new batteries are in order?)3 -

Praying that physical therapy works . I had a torn meniscus in 2013 and a torn ACL. It’s no joke that’s a long time till surgery2 -
Yesterday did not go to plan overall. Dad was not doing well when I got there, so I cancelled his eye appointment. That meant not going out to Tim's for lunch. Dad had his lunch brought to his room and I told him I would grab something on the way home, that I had had breakfast and I would be fine. Well I sat with him while he ate and I was getting a huge headache. I have not had a headache because I was tired or hungry for a very long time. I decided I was going to grab lunch at Tim's and bring it back to his room to eat. Because of the headache I wanted caffeine. I am not really a fan of their coffee, (and I do realize by saying this they might revoke my Canada card!) So I had a French Vanilla (cappuccino) which I do like, but it was 330 calories! I fit it into my day, but that many liquid calories does not make one feel satiated!
Today I need to try again to reach dad's respirologist. If things go according to how I want them to go, I will be on the road again today.2 -
@HASWLRS hope today goes better for you and Dad.1

Good morning all, no weigh in today as I made a quick unscheduled trip to VA and don't have a scale.
Heading to NYC tomorrow for a quick trip. Bus ride up, 6 hours in the city, bus ride back. But lots of steps in the middle. 🙂
@murdog3t Tami I love your daily goals. 🙂
Have a great weekend everyone and I'll catch up with you in a couple of days.1 -

Hello, everyone! I’m back from our trip to visit family. I forgot to at least check in on Wednesday and ask to have my weight from last week rolled over.
I forgot to weigh this morning, but I ate well about 75% of the 6 days.1 -
Tom’s mom along with Tom and our sons; my sister is in the other pics ❤️1 -
@Tomsgal1985 Wow, you got to see both sides of the family; that's cool!
@DaffyGirl88 Have fun in the Big Apple! Never been...it is on the bucket list, though!
@murdog3t Great weigh-in, Tami!
So, I have been with my dad in the hospital for the past two days. He is still in the ER because there is no bed for him in the ward, but he does have his own room. He is on the high flow O2 so his levels are now acceptable, and he is on antibiotics because they are assuming he is fighting another pneumonia infection. His spirits are pretty good, and he feels good, but he is confined to his bed with all the monitor hook ups. I have not eaten very much the past couple of days, so I am now in Onederland. However, it is also affecting my sleep as I have been awake since three. I live an hour and a half from his hospital, so I am not going today but my sister is. My husband and I will go back on Sunday. I just had some soup and I might try going back to bed now.3 -

Happy Hump 🐫 day
So many things to be thankful for 🍂🍁🧡🦃1 -
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 everyone! The last week has been a whirlwind and when I get a chance I'll fill you in. It's all good. ☺️
@brandi_84 it was great! Very quick visit. We were there for 7 hours and I got 16,000 steps. 😯
@Tomsgal1985 great week and glad you got to see family AND foliage 🍁🍂. The colors were pretty in PA when we drove through last month.
@HASWLRS been thinking about you 💕
@murdog3t keep up the great work!
Y'all take care and I'll talk to you soon.2 -
Happy 🦃 day, Friends! I hope you all have a great day!
I got the green light from my coach to indulge on carbs including pie. We talked about doing so mindfully.3 -
