Shark week.

@trooworld Way to go on less emotional eating! Hey I made Rootitoot's recipe for a turkey breast and mashed potatoes (and gravy) in the Instant Pot, everyone was amazed at how good it turned out so you'll have to try that sometime. I'd bought the turkey breast for myself and my SIL talked about getting together so I brougnt it and a bag of potatoes to their house and we invited my folks over.

@Cornanda I'm so glad you posted so we know how YOU are doing. I'm glad you lost some and are finding a way that works best for you. It's so hard this time of year, seems every time you think you're able to get back on track an invite to dinner pops up. Your Thanksgiving sounds wonderful and I'd love to try your pie!

@tammymccrady6278 Sounds like you're having a wonderful visit with the family, you'll get back on track soon enjoy your time with them.

Congratulations on coming in second by percentage and pounds this last week!

@vegan4lyfe2012 @veta2018 @19shmoo69 Way to go on an awesome week of leading the pack!

@micaroo4 LOL the meme jokes are awesome!

Hi friends! My SIL and nephew went to the farm yesterday and she'd mentioned having an early celebration as they're going to her parent's house in Oregon. I'd just bought a turkey breast and potatoes so I brought them over and my folks came and Mom taught my nephews how to make suberage (Armenian dish with philo dough and cheese). I used an Instant Pot recipe for it and it came out great, it freed up the oven aside of it going in the broiler for a short time so I could see doing that again. I got what was left of my tomatoes, zucchini, and squash out in the yard and did my two rounds of PT stretches and exercises. Good day but I've been eating way too much having two turkey dinners in the last week! I was mindful with lunch but not with dinner. Have a great Monday friends!

Hey bbs!

Isn’t it crazy how a couple pounds up feels like a hundred pounds on your body? Must be bloating from crappy eating because I felt so svelte and smooth a couple weeks ago and now I feel lumpy and stuffed into the same clothes I felt great in.

My goal this week is to get online with you every day. I can’t do this when I stray from accountability. Life is a little crazy at the moment, just super busy. So I need to make time for my health 100%

Have a good week all!

@trooworld- I hope your dog's surgery goes smoothly. I'm sorry about the vertigo. I've had it a few times and what a trippy feeling.
@megnolia82- I totally agree with you feeling bloated can change the way you feel about yourself and how your clothes fit. I never really paid enough attention to it before but now it is a stark contrast.
@Katmary71- Way to go getting in your PT exercises. I hope you had a great time with your family.

This week is busy with my boys school, son's therapy and holiday fun. We went to my sister's house yesterday to celebrate with her family and our mom. I was mindful of portion size and focused on slowing down eating and stopping when 80%ish full. It helped me not fill yucky like previous years during holiday dinners. I hope everyone has a great week.

I have to admit I'm not up on the abbreviations and anagrams. What is bbs?

My Info:

Life's still chaotic. Daughter finished high school, went to formal (aus version of prom), and had awards assemblies for both girls.

Ended up getting sick from general stress and not sleeping as much as needed, which has turned into bronchitis.

Now trying to get caught up on work for taking so many days off. Needless to say health has taken a back seat. Was pleansantly suprised to jump on the scale this morning for the first time since last week, and see the same number. Will try and be back soon and catch up!

@865jessica Thank you and thank you about the vertigo, too. It is a trippy feeling and is so scary. You are inspiring me to "behave" on Thanksgiving! Way to go, you did awesome!

@Katmary71 Not really, if I turn my head to the left too far or bend it down to get something, there goes the dizziness. But as long as I avoid those things, I'm okay! Yes, although it will be nice to have the day off today. I have things to do unfortunately. But I do plan on reading part of the day! Thank you. That sucks about the Starbucks/Amazon card. I'm sorry. I hope PT goes well and you enjoy your reading!

@steffibabiie Sorry about the bronchitis. I hope you are feeling better now!

@DebJB30 I'm glad your mom is home from the hospital now.

Hi all. My BIL is either home from the hospital now or coming home today, not sure which (I haven't talked to my MIL). So, we will have a nice Thanksgiving. I have a lot to do today. Mostly running around but some stuff around the house. I was going to make some of the sides for Thanksgiving and freeze them but I don't feel like it and don't see the sense in freezing it for one day.

GOALS FOR THE MINDFULNESS CHALLENGE:
Ask myself if I am really hungry before I start eating, and stop when I am comfortably full.

SCORE FOR YESTERDAY: 6 (1-10, 10 is the best)

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

@steffibabiie Congratulations on daughter's graduation! Both girls received awards? That's wonderful! Ugh hope the bronchitis is getting better, that's great you managed to keep your weight down during it.

@DebJB30 I'm glad your mom is no longer in the hospital.

@trooworld Oh no be careful of the dizziness! That's frustrating as you think you're doing better then move a certain way and get a reminder you aren't. Thanks hopefully tonight will be the end of the book, I'm bored of reading it! I'm so glad your BIL is home or will be home today, that will definitely give you all something extra to be thankful for on Thanksgiving.

@FushiaKat Congratulations on the loss, sometimes with a challenge like that (eating no nuts) it's a mixed deal on being happy because now you know not eating them helps. Sounds like it could be allergies, I normally don't have them too bad this time of year but lately I've been taking allergy medication twice a day. Yum fresh green beans sound awesome! Happy Thanksgiving! On other healthy sides what about roasted root veggies or winter squash?

Hey friends, I'm waiting for my brother's cat to be dropped off so this is a little fast. Did PT and walking then went shopping with a friend, next up is a charity “who we are” online chat at 6PM that I'll be helping with. I'd offered to pick her up but forgot she's too heavy for me to lift. I've been using the pedometer on my phone to count my steps but I don't tend to walk around with it at home, I'll have to look into a cheap tracker. Anyone recommend one? I didn't have good luck with Fitbit so I don't want another one of those. Have a great Wednesday!

Sorry! I teach in a French school and we sometimes use bébé as a term of endearment (with friends not with the kids) so in my head it was like (hey babes!)
Seeing it now I’m like… uh… what was I thinking?

Anyway not new slang or an acronym, just me being a little ridiculous.
