@laurelfit57 We posted at the same time lol. Congrats on the loss!

@gemwolf110 How's your pup doing?

@Cornanda It was fun! I'm going back on Friday night for dinner with my BFF. That's good if you can tolerate the protein veg stuff during the week and have something different on the weekends.

@digger61 Congrats on the loss!

@morenin Good, I'm glad you are going. Just feel better soon!

@bethanie0825 That's great you are back in the 240s, congrats!

@19shmoo69 Totally understandable. Big hugs to you and your family. Please let us know how things are going when you can.

@Katmary71 I'm not sure if I ever posted it, but it's from Sally's Baking Recipes (which are always solid recipes). Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup - https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/lightened-creamy-chicken-noodle-soup/ I'm glad you scheduled some downtime. I hope you enjoyed the reading!

@DrewsAnna Oh no, I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you feel better today.

@TeresaW2024 That's a great picture of you two! What a pretty background. Thanks for sharing it with us! I'm glad my knee feels better as well. I hate figuring out what to eat, too lol. It's working out better since I shifted half of the meal planning to my husband (since he cooks half the time).

Hi all. My DH assured me that the bus we took (we didn't want to hassle with parking) would take us close enough to the festival but it was not close enough: it took us 20 minutes to walk from the bus stop to Little Italy and at that point, I had to sit down. My knee wasn't quite bothering me but my hips were. We had an appetizer and a drink at a restaurant and then continued on to the festival. It was nice but the artists hadn't finished any of the pieces, they were in progress. That would have been fine but all the walking around got to me and we left after we walked around a bit. We went to North Park, our favorite neighborhood, and got a beer and read a book. I woke up with my back really stiff and sore. I think it's because I brought a bunch of groceries in by myself and made it in one trip.

Hi!

Pup is doing okay. Tolerating the shots and eye drops better.

Love the pictures!

@19shmoo69 - Glad to hear that your son is home. No more ambulance; that will be a hard promise to keep if he's having another seizure. Prayers for you and your family.

Hey all,

I’m sorry for missing last week. I need to take a break. I would like to join back in for November please.

@gemwolf110 The things we do for our fur babies!

@Cornada HaHa! You lie!

@trooworld The festival looked fun and a beautiful day to be out and about. It's a bummer you had to walk so much before you could even enjoy the festival. I hope your back gets better.

@Katmary71 It’s time to get out those fall recipes! Let us know how the butternut squash turns out. I love those ingredients!

@19shmoo69 I’m glad your son is home. That is good that you will have an emergency med to use the next time he has a seizure. I just can’t imagine how stressful this is on you and your wife.


Happy Monday! Today, I will do a leg workout and get some housework done. I have a Walmart order arriving in a few hours. This week, I plan to really watch my eating so that my new pants will fit on Saturday for the ladies' tea. I don’t have a back-up plan!

@19shmoo69 I have certainly been thinking about you and your family sending many hugs and good wishes across the miles. I'm so glad your son is back home. I know it is difficult to see someone go through seizures and feel like you are doing nothing. What you are truly doing is making him feel safe and secure so when he truly comes around, it is the ones that love him that are surrounding him and not strangers. It can be very disorienting.

@TeresaW2024 love the picture of you and Joe! I am with you on figuring out what to eat every day. I just made up a big sheet of root vegetables for the week, hopefully that will take care of a few meals lol. I find the motivation of getting into some new clothes is always a good thing for me. You've got this!

@cornanda I am always so surprised when people are talking about outdoor plants at this time of year! I am sure you had a great time with your son.

@trooworld it sounds like it would have been wonderful to go to that festival, it looks like a ton of fun! Those artists are so talented! I am so sorry that the bus did not go closer for you. I'm sorry that your back is still causing you pain.

@katmary71 care to share the recipes for the chicken taco meat and the butternut squash almond feta recipe, they sound delicious! I get bored with my regular rotations

Hello my friends, it was a super busy weekend. Both of my grandkids ended up coming over on Friday night for a sleepover. They were not happy with each other, so it was a very long evening and Saturday morning. Siblings 🤣
Saturday evening we went and watched my bonus daughter's hoop performance. I am absolutely amazed at how strong those performers have to be. This was at a dance studio run by all younger people(under 30). There is not any seating so 99% of the people sit around crosslegged on the floor watching the performers. They understand that there are a few of us who can't do that, so they were very kind and put out some benches for us to sit on. They were hard wooden benches, no backs and right at the front so we had to look directly up to see the performances for 4 hours. My neck and butt are still recovering🤣. But truly, I would do it again in a heartbeat to see those amazing performers! I didn't get home until about 12:30 AM and of course by the time I got the dogs out and played with them for a bit, it was about 1:30 in the morning. Sunday I was sooooo tired, but it was my grandson's first hockey game at 9 AM! They were so cute, six and under. Second half of the game, I think they spent more time on their butts than they did on their skates, they were all very tired🥰. I went to his first practice and they all learned how to fall, so they were prepared for that second half of the game. I brought my mom to the game and she wanted to do some shopping after, so I got home about 1 o'clock. Of course by the time I got home my dogs needed some exercise, at 3 o'clock I plunked myself down on the couch and didn't move again until the last potty of the evening🤣.
I did so so on my eating and tracking for the weekend, it's not like I went really crazy any day. It was just so busy or I was so tired that I missed a few things, like adequate water or fruit. I made up a huge crockpot of turkey chilli on the weekend, which is probably 70% vegetables and then I did a sheet pan of root vegetables tonight. Cold weather is starting to set in so it feels like comfort food is in store :-). Hope everybody had a great Monday!
As I am trying to catch up here, Vannie is cuddled up in her cosy bed and Ty is sprawled across me🤣

I can't believe this is actually working

Love this you're doing awesome!

@TeresaW2024 It was. It was a bit hot but it was a pretty day. Thank you! I hope this week goes as you planned and you can fit in your pants.

@vegan4lyfe2012 @bobboyardee Congrats on the losses!

@laurelfit57 Congrats on the loss! The festival was nice, it was crowded though. They are very talented! Thank you! Oh gosh, what awful seating for the hoop performance! It sounds like your weekend was packed but fun. That's great food for cold nights. Aww, that's a cute picture!

@DrewsAnna I can only take one Metformin a day, it gives me diahrrea. I'm glad you are feeling better.

Hi all. My back is still very painful. I left work early yesterday at 10:30 because of it. I came home and rested and that felt better while I was resting. I have to go in to work today, I can't keep burning through my vacation and sick time, I'll just have to persevere.

DISCUSSION QUESTION: How do you feel about your current weight and body image?
I'm very unhappy with my current weight (and health situation). I feel unattractive and I don't like most of my body. Sometimes, when I am walking by this glass wall at work, I catch a reflection of my body in the glass. I like that my legs are shapely. I know I need to work on body image and self-love. But every technique I look up feels false to me. I don't know how to work on it.

I don't seem my progress lately, especially since I gained a few pounds back. I just see a blob. And I gained 8 pounds in two weeks. I am pretty sick and haven't been eating well or moving much, but there's no way I ate THAT many calories. It's frustrating. My scale has become the enemy. I can't figure out how to stop bloating, unless it's a real 8 pounds, in which case I need to cry.
