    It was a rough week for me as well. Feel free to send me a friend request and we can link up in Threads or Bluesky.

    As far as the holidays, do what you feel’s best for you. I’ve had some years where I could barely decorate so I totally get it. Last year my son and his partner came home for thanksgiving but not Christmas, so I cooked, but minimally decorated. This year they will miss thanksgiving but be here for Christmas so I am planning to go out to eat for thanksgiving and then plan a more elaborate Christmas.

    And give yourself permission to change your mind! You may be feeling better or find a perfect decoration and it might really improve your mood. Just be flexible!

    @cre804 I'm on Threads as @jessicakrall so please send me a friend request...I'm so new on there...still finding my way around! LOL Same name on Facebook.
    Jessica

    Just gave you a follow on Threads!

    @cre804 Does your name show as cre804 on Threads as well? I see a lady with a picture similar to yours, but want to make sure it's you before accepting...thanks!

    I appreciate and love a vast vocabulary - this is likely my father's doing. Thanks Dad <3
    With that, I like to check out the Merriam-Webster word of the day.

    Word of the Day : November 16, 2024
    steadfastplay

    What It Means
    Someone described as steadfast is very devoted or loyal to a person, belief, or cause. Steadfast is also used to describe something, such as support, that remains unchanging.

    I encourage you all to be steadfast with your healthy lifestyles habits.

    Is there a goal or habit you'd like to share with the group?
    Something you are sticking with? Maybe nutrition goals or movement goals?

    @jessicakrall8 – Seeing and acknowledging those little snippets of kindness is so incredibly valuable. You really sound hopeful despite this tough time, and I hope that brings even more kindness and healing your way.

    I really admire your mindset, especially the reminder that every pound lost takes 7 lbs of pressure off your joints. It’s such an important perspective! And honoring your body by easing back into the 10k steps shows incredible patience and self-awareness. Your strength and perseverance are inspiring. You're doing an amazing job—keep it up! 💪

    Yesterday I worked the high school bowling fundraiser, checking in people for registration and payment to bowl 9 pin tap at the bowling alley - my husband coaches the Saturday youth league and high school varsity - at least enough funds were made to cover costs for the upcoming season!

    Good morning Shape Shifters. We got a lot of rain on Sunday and it was never dry long enough to go for a walk. I did a 40 minute workout at home instead. Next week it is looking really rainy but I hope I can still get some walks in. My kitchen scale has been very annoying. When I turn it on, and nothing is on it, the number goes up or down. When I put something on, it also keeps changing. I tried new batteries, but that didn't work either. I need to weigh stuff like 8 times a day, so I ordered a new one. If it is on time, it will be here later today.
    I did a lot of laundry and got some groceries. My mom is sleeping over again next week so I need a bunch of extra stuff. I saw they had a new vegan product at the grocery store; stroopwafels! I usually buy a package of stroopwafels for my mom and her partner, so they will get to test them. If there is a vegan alternative, I will always buy that one instead. Once I am out of baklava, I will also give them a try since they are pretty high in calories and I can't have both. I had a great spotted woodpecker in the garden for a little bit and I managed to take some pictures which was neat. Happy Monday everyone <3

    Checking in! Woke up early this morning and made some food for my dad and I since yesterday was kinda hectic and I didn't meal prep. It's a bit more effort because we're both on different diets (omni vs vegan) but I figured that having food made for both of us would decrease the takeout temptation this afternoon. I also sliced up an apple for a snack, so that should help as well. I'm not sure if I'm walking today because we're estimated to have thunderstorms all afternoon, but I'm aiming to do some low-key yoga later on today if I get a chance :)

    @DaffyGirl88 Holy cow, you all got a lot done! Thanks for sharing all the pictures, I love it. I think the table runner is my favourite. The colors are so beautiful.
