    Hi all, happy Tuesday. We found the boxes we needed at the UPS store. Still contacting different home owner insurance companies, we will make our decision tomorrow. Tomorrow the appraiser comes.
    Started mailing out Christmas cards. That's it for me, have a great rest of the day.

    Hello everyone! I went to the Royal Ontario museum today on a field trip from the place that has the art classes and bingo games every week. I had a great time there. I went for a short run earlier this morning and I really enjoyed it. I did a lot of walking in the museum today. I'll be doing some dancing later on. Have a great night, everyone! Take care and stay safe.

    @Bookienj, I LOVE Red Robins. LOL!! Last time I got a burger with pineapple on it. OH WOW!! It was so good!! I ate half it and the other half at home for supper. YUMMY!! Who'd of THUNK a PINEAPPLE on a burger would be wildly good!
    @Kurtize, it's amazing how fast the move will happen!! WTG!! Nice to have it over and done with. Again CONGRATS!!
    @Cormierannie, Is it a senior center you belong to that does trips? I went on one last week for seniors, we had a GREAT TIME!! Lots of the ones I go on include shopping and of course, eating. LOL

    I have joined the Winter challenge after doing the 5% Fall Challenge with the "mission slimpossibles" group. Now, since I didn't join the IBC challenge because of time contraints, I can't seem to "keep in touch" with my team, as recommended to us to do. How is this done?

    @luv2dns2 - Your best option for keeping in touch with Mission Slimpossible members is to join the IBC. Everything is optional so if all you want to do is read and post in chat now and then, it's ok. If you want me to add you, just sign up in the IBC sign up on either the Fall or Winter Community team.

    Another option is to post on the Fall team, but honestly very few members visit there any more. I check it daily and would see and respond to any post. I will also post any major announcements there regarding upcoming Winter Challenge such as when invitations are sent out. So it depends on what you need - keeping informed, or finding support, where you look during the break.

    The final option is to post here as you have done. I'm not sure how many MS members follow Community chat, but I would see it and you'd have the support of community 5%-ers.

    Note that this will change with our next Challenge. Because winter is scheduled to run 10 weeks, there won't be enough time between challenges for the IBC as we've been doing them. Members will stay on their teams. Then it will be easy for you to stay connected even if taking a break from tracking and reporting exercise and weight.

    Good afternoon, everyone! It's a mild weather day here today. My daughter says hello to all. She's working at her part time jobs today. Both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! I went for a short run earlier this morning and I really enjoyed it. I went for a walk after lunch and I feel great? I'll be doing some dancing later on. I went to the Art drop in at my building this morning and I really enjoyed it. I played bingo a while ago and I won a game. Have a great day, everyone! Take care and stay safe.

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Worked Monday through Friday. Back to work on Monday. The ex has been up and down with his moods and that's fine as I am mainly only home when I have to be. My Son and I spent today out and about grabbing a few things for making Christmas cookies. I even grabbed a few cheap decorations because I felt weird not decorating at all. I even bought a felt tree with lights and felt decorations. Tomorrow I am going to Church twice then to my sister's as we're going to the cemetery to put a wreath on our parents grave.

    @Kurtize and @Dianedoessmiles1 Thank you so much

    Hi to everyone,

    Today is family Sunday and we spend time together at my parents house every week.

    Felling a little worried and concerned, We woke up to my baby doxie Bella shes 4 but still my baby lol. Not moving right. Shes moving not to fast and hurting somewhere in her back legs and hip. Shes done this before but got better as the day has been going on. This time around shes shaking, better go check it out unless she is majorly better. Bella is so hyper and runs around cra cra as my neice would tell ya, with her 6 month brother. I think shes just pulled it.

    Hope everyone is having a wonderful day, if you would send me a friends request so we can get to know each other better.

    @HeevenleeRose, How neat to have your family by so you can do what I loved growing up, being with family every Sunday. Only a few of us are left in the area out of 30. My 13 year old cats name is Isabella. My GD who was living with me wanted to call her "Bella" I wanted Izzy. LOL GD put up a FIT, but when I responded with "you are now 16 in a few years you'll likely be out or close to being out (if I let her live LOLOL Nah she's a great kid,,, I do not care how old she is!)so her name is Izzy." Usually I let her have a say not this time. I hope Bella will be okay. Hopefully it's a pulled muscle or similiar doxies are pretty long backed.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 Well my frist adult dog was namesd Lzzy 😆 this made laugh 😃 so hard. Need that tonight. Bella has hurt her legs even going up her stairs before and she was fine that evening. Both my doxies are Minnie's and super hyper. This is different. She's been on the side of me since we got home. She finally stopped shaken

    We love our family Sundays. I don't think if we didn't have them I would see my sister and my niece and nephew. When I was young we did the same with my grandparents until grandmother could not do anymore. My mom has kept the tradition alive and I am so glad she did.

    @macrat12 I love the motivation that you give, great way to start the day.Well done. You truly inspire me, love how you do your training days and write up.

    It went from high of 75 yesterday to 31today. Wish this weather would get somewhere and stay put, not here in Lousiana. I have never had just a couch that would not go away. I don't feel bad just couch all night and day long.

    Hubby is taking Bella, while I stay with Sparky. Don't think I need to be out today even though I want to be with her.

    Got to get started on my day, water in hand.

    Hi to the ones that come on after Im gone and back to check in

    Have an amazing Monday

    I have been making a list of all the things we have to change, voter registration, cars, our health provider insurance, and on and on. The last few days been a little over in eating. Scale is packed so there is no checking it for me. I have walked in fact I got 2 more post cards and planted 2 more trees.
    Today got a notice I finished the Dia de Los Muertos walk. Not going to order my medal until we move.
    Have a great rest of the day. Next week is our last week here, in fact we will be moving out on the 20th.
    So Tuesday no internet until we get it turned on in new place. The new place isn't officially ours until the 22nd. This one closes 21st. Well everyone have a great rest of the day and week. Hugs and blessings

    Hi everyone,

    Sorry no personals tonight. It's been a crazy 2 days and I am exhausted l.

    Bella has a pinch nerve in her back. They gave her a Lazer treatment and tons of medicine. I told her she gets lots of meds like Mommy lol. I am really concerned when they said back.we had a larger doxie before and never had back issues. I'm just hoping that this works. I feel so helpless since my health cp wise can't use one hand can't help her like most we make it work though.

    I had my doc apt today and it wasn't good. I was put on more meds 2 for a1c and weight loss.I just found out that it's not in-stock just my luck. I was put on Bydureon once a week and Jardiance.

    I think it's an early night for me. Stressed and exhausted haven't gott4n much sleep since thr Bella stuff started

    Hi all! Later than usual checking in. Today i had my thyroid ultrasound. very happy i don't have to go back for a year! My daughter had callbacks for the spring musical. She finds out this week what part she got.
    @HeevenleeRose -i hope your moxie is 100% soon! i have a chiweenie-part doxie part chihuahua. She likes to take long walks (like 3 miles) every day-but if it's just me she will try to just stop every house. When hubby comes, she bolts down stairs like "let's go!"

    @Kurtize, great job!! I'll very likely see you on the PS4L team, but please know we are pulling for you!! WOW! The move came up fast. WOOHOO CONGRATS!
    @HeevenleeRose, I am so sorry!! Stress is very hard to take. I used to think food was the answer, but it wasn't (though if hungry EAT!) I was so anxious about so many things. A friend couldn't use much of her left hand, there were things she just couldn't do. It was amazing though the things she could. Couragous comes to my mind right off the bat. I am sure you are also. Sure hope Bella will be okay and fast. AND THAT YOU SLEPT WELL!!
    @Bookienj, WOW Mary, I've missed you!! Nice to see ya!! Hey, Where's our @Tabatha_Cain today? TABATHAAAAAAaaa!!! 😁😁 Mary why did they do the ultrasound on your thyroid? I am in the end I HOPE as of tomorrow of being diagnosed with secondary hyperparathryoidism. Hopefully, they can help me. At first they thought it was hyperparathryodism, but it's secondary. So much to learn.
