    @Katmary71 – I enjoyed that video of flavored salts. Now I’m not sure if I want to do that for Christmas, or vanilla sugar. My vanilla Mother jar is about 3 years old, so it’s ready. So many choices! I hope everything with the charity works out.

    @trooworld – I’m really sorry your husband let you down. Hopefully when the time gets closer he’ll have a change of heart.

    @TeresaW2024 – Jack McFlurry is hilarious and all your decorations are lovely!

    @baodell17724 – Sorry you’ve been sick.

    @DrewsAnna – What gorgeous mountains! Where are they?

    @morenin – Hugs.

    We found out yesterday that baby Amelia’s heart issue isn’t as dire as we thought. She has aortic stenosis. She’ll still need surgery when she’s a few days old, but it should just be the one surgery…not the 3 we thought. There’s a possibility that she may need a replacement valve in the future, but I have a cousin that is almost 60 years old that has had several since birth, so we know it’s not a death sentence. Thank you for your continued prayers!

    I’ve been trying to stay on track since I’ve been back from vacation. Doing better than usual, but not as good as I’d like. I decided to forego the potluck at church this past Sunday since there’s rarely anything vegan unless I make it and bring it. When I got to church, one of the ladies told me that the pie she made was vegan. I thanked her, but told her we weren’t staying. Lord knows I don’t need pie. Anyway, we’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving on the Saturday after because all of my children and grandchildren will be available 😊 Very happy for that!

    @TeresaW2024 Oh it is good! I'm sure I'll get the CPAP machine figured out once I have the consultation. I really hope it helps. LOL yeah well I lucked out and we can get them in the morning! I will probably do pickup for Walmart and go into Sam's Club since we have a plus membership and can go in early. Thank you! So, you think the pain in your feet was from not rebounding? That's very interesting! I'm glad you got it figured out and your feet are better.

    @lislisa123 @DrewsAnna Well done!

    @vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you. He's supportive overall, it's just on this point, he will not budge. :( I'm glad there are going to be fewer surgeries for baby Amelia. I bet that's a relief! <3 Good job with how you handled the potluck and the vegan pie. I hope you enjoy Thanksgiving!

    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.

    I am on vacation up in the Smokey Mountains and will not be back until late Friday night. Can I weigh Saturday morning? Not sure what it will be because hubby an I have enjoyed ourselves. I have to renew my commitment. B)

    @vegan4lyfe2012 That is good news about Amelia’s heart. It's still very scary, and I will be praying that the surgery she will have will go smoothly and that she won’t require another one. <3

    @trooworld I think rebounding definitely helps the swelling in my feet, which is probably a massive contributor to the pain. All the swelling is gone this morning, and I have no foot pain. :) That is a relief for you that you will at least go to the stores early and beat those crowds!


    Good morning! We had a staff meeting last night, and they decided that our homeschool group should hand out candy and a double-sided card inviting people to church and the Christmas Eve service. Of course, this card has to be created and ordered today! I got up at 6 a.m. and made something they will hopefully approve soon so I can get it ordered! In a perfect world, my church people would stop doing big things at the last minute. It makes my head explode!! :#

    Good morning Slimpossibles!

    It's not going to be much of an exercise day today. We are finally getting some rain. Hopefully it will be enough to alleviate the drought, but there's a lot of leaf litter on the ground, and that's going to absorb a LOT of water before the water can get to the soil. But even if it only soaks the leaf litter, at least the fire danger will be mitigated.

    Normally I would work at getting some indoor workouts today, but I'm just not feeling that great today. I think I will take a rest day.

    Sure Saturday will be fine, thanks for the head's up! Just realized I didn't make it on last night and was coming on to do the weigh in update. Have a great time!

    @micaroo4 Have a great rest day! I love how close Rich is getting with Cathy it's always pretty fascinating from a nature vs. nurture perspective how much siblings that didn't grow up together are alike. Some of the twins separated at birth who live identical lives fascinate me!

    @TeresaW2024 Oh no hope your card is approved and ordered soon! Hahaha I hate last minute stuff too and it seems like you go through the trouble to make it all then someone wants a tiny detail changed that takes forever. Wishing you luck and patience! I had to laugh at you saying how puffy you are after the pies, I can't believe how bloated I get from one night of a “normal” dinner it's pretty depressing. That's awesome the rebounding is helping your feet so much! I'm in PT now for my feet and can already tell the way I was walking was making things worse as I wasn't using my big toes. I'd think rebounding would get all the muscles moving and would help strengthen the feet a lot. You all are going to get me to save for one!

    @trooworld Good question I remember the chili being more green than photos of Chili Colorado, I'll ask her about it. I hope the consultant video helps. Any chance that machine is on YouTube? Maybe you can get some tips but then your appt is tomorrow so not too far. That chili looks delicious!

    @vegan4lyfe2012 Oh you have to fill me in on how you do vanilla with a mother, is it like kombucha? I'm fascinated now! I remember talking about it before with you but blanking on how you do it. Thank goodness Amelia's heart issue isn't as bad still sending lots of prayers to all of you. I'm happy you'll be celebrating with everyone on Saturday, you have a lot of little ones to be thankful for right now!

    HOW DO YOU BALANCE ENJOYING HOLIDAY TREATS WITH STAYING ON TRACK TOWARD YOUR FITNESS GOALS? I'm not super balanced and tend to gain weight in December. I try to avoid stuff I can have any time like Hershey kisses and enjoy some of the Christmas cookies or things we only have once a year. Fitness goals aren't a problem it's the diet that is, I'm good at staying on track with exercise.

    @morenin Are you on diabetes medication? You may need to reduce it or top. I had that problem for awhile too when I was still on medication but was back in “normal” mode again.

    @FushiaKat I hope you're happily riding around when you read this! That IS frustrating you've been so excited. Oh my folks go to Sam's Club I'm going to ask them to grab some ApplePears! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Kat. :)

    @lisalisa123 You're doing awesome keep up the great work!

    Hi friends! I thought I got on to post the weigh in update last night but forgot I got a call as soon as I started. Have a lot of stressful stuff going on and trying to figure out how to get through it. I may have found a roommate depending on how meeting each other goes, I need to get the house clean the next few days. The farm did a spotlight on volunteers and I ended up being the only main volunteer left out and I wasn't asked. I told my neighbor who volunteers there too (I got her going) and she mentioned to the manager I was never asked (I told her not to say anything about my feelings being hurt) and today the marketing team went to the greenhouse (I stayed home as the storm is causing bad pain and I didn't want to be emotional when I'm mad). I didn't want attention because someone said something I would prefer not to be invisible and not be left out of the volunteers that matter to the farm. I don't do it for a pat on the back but being left out and everyone ELSE being recognized in the group but me sucks. So the greenhouse volunteers raved about me this morning from what I heard and now the marketing person reached out and I feel like a dork, I hate being on camera and I know the gang this morning is trying to make up for it so I'm hoping we can just do a non-filmed interview. Charity I've decided I'm going to have to resign soon, my co-captain is planning on resigning too. Praying the president surprises us with an interest in cleaning up her sloppy business practices but she's too busy dreaming of new events. I'm real close with her mom but I think I'm going to lose multiple friends over this. Food is so-so right now but having great workouts! Have a great Friday team.
