    Good morning all. Hope your weigh in went well. I am happy lost a few ounces. Did the wash this morning. Put on compression stocking. It is one thigh high. This is the last day, thank goodness. I do get a good workout getting it on. Welcome back @Dianedoessmiles1, we missed you but very glad you had a good time off. Have a great day. Hugs and blessings.

    @Schnootie WELCOME TO MFP and the 5% Challenge!! So happy you are here with us!! Very soon NO DOUBT @Ceriusly1 will get you onto a team! On the 5% Which team were you on? Just curious! And was this your Screen name? If you'd like to get in contact with your former team members, and they kept the same name, it's pretty easy to help one. Many have found their way back to the team they were on if that team is still together. We have 8 teams instead of 12, but many of those who were on the 4 other teams have rejoined their former team members on one of the 8 teams. LOVED reading how you've been doing!! On MFP you can change around some of the macros we track also. If you are a paying member you get more choices.

    @Patti241, that's great!! for SUNDAY is a FUN DAY anything you got up your sleeve? Often I find lately LOL I include in the word FUN for SUNDAY is a FUN DAY It includes some relaxing, while also getting in my exercise.
    @Kurtize, awww Joyce THANKS!! LOL that was WILD going to NY from Maine touring that day (our ticket said 3 hours, but we had also a private tour (Thanks to someone we know who arranged it for us, we didn't mind at ALL having others join us! It was fun watching their faces as well!) so it was 4 hours. I THINK I may of sat down maybe a total of 45 mins. OH MY FOOT, but so WORTH IT!! We had to go slow for myself and a friend who has asthama. LOL We shared a room, I SERIOUSLY thought when she was NOT MOVING for HOURS as she slept "maybe she died!" LOL DO NOT we HATE those foolish thoughts that can come into our heads??? She's my friend who is a 5 time cancer survivor (waiting to see if it's back again, we totally cheirshed having her with us!). I'm happy to see you are doing better Joyce! Your surgery was only last week!
    @Tabatha_Cain maybe she's away this weekend? Tabathaaaaaaaa

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Sunday. Yesterday I spent the entire day spending time with my husband. It was pretty amazing. I love spending time with him. It has been a while since we have actually spent time together we have been running door dash or spark for a few months now. We are doing well though and getting debt paid down. It is working well.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 - No I am not away for the weekend. I totally missed you, but I am glad you had an amazing time out. Quick trips are definitely fun filled and packed. I have never thought of acupuncture. It sounds kinda scary. It is pretty cool that they gave me 4 days a month, but I have to use my PTO of at least 40 hours of it.
    @Schnootie - That is great that you are able to monitor the macros you want to monitor. Steps are really good as well.
    @Kurtize - Glad you are on your last day of the compression sock. Do you think it helped? I started my wash this morning. Definitely needed to get it finished.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.

    @Schnootie Welcome to 5% challenge. @Dianedoessmiles1 and @Tabatha_Cain yes this Wednesday will be 2 weeks since surgery. I see the dr. Tuesday. I think it did help, my leg isn't as swollen as it was.
    Not much new here. A little overcast but nice. Kayla and I went for a walk early today. Today is our Son's birthday, he is 61. Well that's it for now, hugs and blessings.

    @Tabatha_Cain. So GOOD to see ya!! I've done acupuncture not only for pain, but GI stuff, SLEEP (helped!) migraines it's an amazing experience!! It helped so much, I was able to get off morphine (This was around 2018) and never looked back. Now it's not 100% Cured it'll never be. But now stretches will help me to reduce the pain down to 1 or at the most 2. If you can find a MD who does it, and s/he is willing to bill your insurance (many larger places do this now) WOOHOO!!! I do highly recommend it. You'll very quickly get used to the needles. They did not hurt me. So cool you and Joe got to spend time together yesterday! Awesome that you have (or will have) the PTO to use.
    @Patti241, sometimes an unplanned day turns out to be the BEST! Hope you enjoyed.
    @Kurtize, so happy it helped!! NICE!! Not bad at all on your recovery time either!! Thurs it'll be a month since mine. My scar is healing nicely. I did have some issues with swallowing this morning. I am not sure if that is normal. My lympt nodes get pretty swollen, but they were before the surgery too. Hopefully, all of us will be KICKING THE SAND this summer!! Or Rocks for those who do not live near the ocean or a lake.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and it is going to be a great day. My co worker should be back in the office today. I am hoping that her husband is home from the hospital and doing decently. I know he has a lot of health issues and it is not going to ever get fixed but a little better than he was is all I am asking for.

    @Kurtize - Happy Birthday to your son. It is nice that the surgery seems to be working.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - It is nice that I will have the PTO to use as well. I will have to look into the acupuncture. My doctor recommended it as well. I am glad it helped your migraines. That is huge.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Tuesday and it is going to be a great day. I am feeling a bit tired today, and I am just wanting to sleep this morning. Not sure why, but I am super tired. I did get 7 hours of sleep so who knows. Today I have a meeting with my boss because I am not meeting my numbers. I think it is wrong and I know I am not meeting my numbers but I am trying and I am the only one providing proof that I am trying.

    @Kurtize - Wow your almost finished. Have you thought of your next virtual walk? I hope you are able to get a decision on the cataract surgery.
    @bookieNJ - No problem. We have hard water also so I thought I would share.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - My co worker did pretty well yesterday. Her husband in home from the hospital, but he is now on oxygen 24/7. She called the electric company yesterday to notify them that he is on oxygen now and they have it in the home. I am thinking about it and checking my insurance.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday.
