I've done really well with the 5% challenge- and my lean protein and veggies. This week, I took a break and ate normally. I didn't over do it, but my weight crept up a bit before Thanksgiving, and then of course another jump after. I feel like one week has messed up 6 weeks of work. Ugh. Not sure what to do next, but what I will NOT do is wallow and eat lousy. And I need to stay out of the leftovers and the pie!

Thanksgiving was nice- turkey came out good and had a nice visit with my son. Yesterday, I put up a good amount of Christmas decorations. I need to finish that today, do some cleaning and shopping and a few other things.

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving!

@19shmoo69 - what the heck is turquoise Friday?! I hope your son is doing better. I miss you too.

I had a great day yesterday. My nieces, whom I call "The Sweet Potatoes," (9 and 11) spent the day with us and we put the Christmas tree up and cleaned downstairs. I let them do 98% of it so they were able to say "they" put the tree up. They were super excited and so was I. They said it was the best day ever and that blessed me tremendously. They cooked their own lunch, we watched "Is It Cake?"on Netflix, and we played some card games. I ate the rest of my plate that I brought home from my husband's family's Thanksgiving gathering and it was good. I feel good today and I pray everyone else has a wonderful day. It's cold here but so beautiful. Blessings!!

ICE BREAKER QUESTION OF THE WEEK: In the grocery store, do you go to the self-check or to a cashier?
I've always thought people want to get out of the grocery store as quickly as possible, so it's a mystery to me to see a line of customers waiting for an available self-check register. While at the very same time, there's a perfectly good cashier - with a bagger - and no line. Why would anyone want to scan and bag their own groceries? The store isn't paying the customers $15/hour to go through self-check. The only time I'm in the self check is if there's one available right now, there's a line at the regular cashier, and I've only got a handful of items (like 5).

Hi 👋 I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, mine was great, we had a big gathering like we haven't had in years. It was wonderful. Lol.... now for the bad side, I gained 2 lbs for Thanksgiving and it was still there this morning. Grrrr.... but I knew it would happen.

The wegovy side effects have been a lot better. I did my injection Tuesday instead of Wednesday and I felt great on Thanksgiving day.

Tomorrow, I'm going to see Cindy Lauper in concert over in Seattle. I'm excited, I used to dance around all over the place to her songs. "Girls just wanna have fun" is my ringtone for my sister. This will be fun. My sister will be disappointed because I have been for warned that drinking and Wegovy don't mix, so there'll be no drinking for me.

I think that's about all I have for right now, if I think of anything else, I'll just have to come back, lol.... 😉😋

Y'all have a great day 😀

Hello my lovelies. I seem to get all involved in a project and don't check in here. So here is my quick update.
Winter has arrived with a vengeance! It is so cold outside that I actually have to put jackets and boots on my pups just to take them out for a quick pee.
I have Been busy with dogs, grandkids, my mother and cleaning out the basement. My basement is 75% cleaned out. I actually went and bought paint for my ceiling today. I am afraid that I haven't been to the gym much, between agility and my basement I am just keeping my head above water.
I will try to check in again tomorrow, and really try to catch up on some of your posts.

This chat is now closed. Please head over to December.
