    @gemwolf110 I was glad to hear from you and sorry about your dog and busy schedule. It was good that you got to go on a trip with friends. @trooworld Too bad about the walking pad. I love chili, too, especially since the weather has become cooler. I tried the chili recipe in Skinnytaste Simple and it was good. Hi, all. I’m up a little earlier than usual so I’m going to start my exercise. I’ll do the bike again. This afternoon we are going to a brew pub to see our granddaughter perform with her group. We’ll eat dinner afterwards. Last night we ate at an Italian restaurant as DD and her family ate at the Mediterranean restaurant the previous night.

    @fabgeekmom Yeah I was disappointed. I love chili, too, it's one of my favorite foods. Good to know about the Skinnytaste recipe. I hope you enjoyed your granddaughter's performance.

    Hi all. We went Macy's Black Friday sale yesterday but I did not get anything: I didn't want to get stuff and then lose the weight and not be able to wear it. I could have gotten some things for after my surgery but chose not to as I don't have room in my side of the closet. We went to coffee afterward. I enjoyed the chili for dinner.

    Water yesterday: 25 oz

    Morning all, this weekend was crazy, but I survived. LOL. Had to fight baby girl to go to school today. It's now like her, so just hoping it's not a cold coming on again. I didn't do well yesterday, birthday party for one of baby girls school friends..cake, pizza, oh yum it was good, but set the stage. LOL. She had fun and so did they and that's all that really matters.

    @gemwolf110 so sorry about your pet. I think this time of year is crazy no matter what we normally have going on in our lives. LOL. glad to see you got away..good for you!

    @fabgeekmom LOL sounds like you have been eating out for a few days...but that is always a nice break from our routines. Good choice to get the exercise in since your up early. I was going to try, but didn't get in bed until midnight...then got up and just could't..LOL

    @trooworld Glad you had a quiet weekend. Probably good choice on the clothes. So sorry the walking pad fell through. but the right person will come along and you will be glad they can use it.

    @cbabie Birthday parties are hard to resist! Pizza and cake, yum! But now you can get back to your program. I hope baby girl is not sick.

    @trooworld It was good that you didn’t buy anything as you’ll be in a smaller size after surgery. Hi, all. Today was swim day. I went grocery shopping after lunch. Dinner was pork chops, wild rice and acorn squash. I followed a Skinnytaste recipe and brined the pork chops.

    @cbabie I'm glad you survived your weekend lol. Hopefully baby girl is not getting sick again. Kids and sickness, it never ends, does it? lol I'm glad she had fun at the party. Thank you. I needed a quiet weekend. I sort of got it. I hope someone buys that walking pad. I don't want to give it away. Where's your sister? Is she hiding out or still traveling?

    @fabgeekmom Yeah I agree. Good job with the swim! Yummy dinner.

    Hi all. I got my CPAP machine and set it up as best as I could based on a video. I wore it for about 3 or 4 hours last night while sleeping but I don't think I had it set up right and couldn't breathe really well so I took it off. I have a video visit with a consultant from the company on Friday so hopefully, we can get it figured out.

    Water yesterday: 70.5 oz

    @trooworld Hopefully the CPAP machine will work better after the consultation. Hi, all. The weather was warmer so I went for a walk after breakfast. I made Skinnytaste creamy mushroom soup for lunch to go with a sandwich. It was good and filling. Tonight I’m making Skinnytaste instant pot with spaghetti rings and beef. I’m making a few changes: I’m using turkey sausage and rotini. I got the idea from a FB group I follow.

    @fabgeekmom I hope so, too. I'm glad the weather was warm for your walk. Good idea about the spaghetti rings, I hope it turned out well.

    Hi all. I was so tired at work yesterday, I think the 5 or so years of poor sleep is catching up with me. I can't wait to see if the CPAP helps with my sleep. I need to get Thanksgiving groceries this weekend and I'm thinking I'll do grocery pickup from Walmart for part of them and go to Sam's Club for the rest. I really don't want to go into any of the stores but my husband is prioritizing his morning walking over getting groceries which is good for his health but bad for me. I can't bring the groceries in by myself so I have to do it when it is convenient for him, which means I'll probably end up going to both stores in the middle of the day on the weekend. I might get Walmart delivered.

    Water yesterday: 68.8 oz

    @trooworld That’s too bad about your grocery conflict. I hope things work out. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. Dinner is last night’s leftovers. Last night’s dinner was good and easy to prepare.

    @fabgeekmom Thank you. Good job with the swim. I'm glad you had an easy dinner.

    Hi all. Now my husband says we can go to Sam's Club and Walmart in the morning on Saturday, which is a big relief for me.

    Water yesterday: 84.2 oz

    @trooworld That’s good news about the shopping! Hi, all. It’s getting cold here but I think I can still go walking. DS bought the ingredients for omelets so that’s for breakfast. He also is making ATK chicken lemon orzo soup for lunch. I’m making chili for dinner.
