@Alatariel75

Hope your okay. Sening hugs 🫂 xxx

@cleaneater80 nice job getting into the 150s!!

@strong_fit_ells wow how exciting! I'm sure you'll have a great visit. I can't imagine what it's like going so long without seeing my sisters. Enjoy the reunion!

@Alatariel75 I wish I could send you a hug, here's a virtual one 🫂 hopefully life settles down for you soon.

Well I caught my son's cold and my daughter has it too 😞 honestly I'm surprised we made it this long without an illness so I can't be too upset. For some reason my son has been waking up earlier over the last few weeks, and daylight savings isn't helping. Today he woke me up at 6:23am, over an hour before my alarm 😭

Yesterday my lunch caused my glucose to spike a bit which was somewhat surprising, I had a low carb/high protein beef stew and half a Greek yogurt cup. This is not the first time I've spiked after the yogurt though so I think I need to go back to plain Greek yogurt and add fruit to it instead of the flavored stuff that has added sugar.

I walked around the yard some yesterday before work, and then marched around the house until I met my step goal after work. It felt good to get that movement in. I want to try today too, but it's hard to be motivsted when I'm sick and tired. Who knows, I might convince myself to take a walk regardless.

Off to work now. I hope everyone has a good day.

Thank you everyone, at least it looks like she was honest with her insurer and has taken responsibility, they're going to let me know where to take my car to be assessed.

Unfortunately for me, I've still let it derail me, too much wine, pizza again. I'm just a mess at the moment, the little hiccups throw me right off course. I'm still getting a lot of steps, though, so I guess that's one victory. I started reading Quit Like a Woman because I think I actually do just need to give up alcohol. It's not ruining my life or anything, but it's becoming a habit and I don't like that for me.

@ Gidgitgoescrzy I feel you so much on the binging, I have really been in the weeds with it lately. It's not at all good, but my control is out the window.

@ jguldi11 I hope you feel better soon!! Lots of germs about :(

@ strong_fit_ells that's so exciting!! Have an amazing time!!

I'm not even going to let that get me down.

I had a good day yesterday, I fasted all day, and did my strength training, a 15 min walk, cleaned the house and played with the dogs alot. Had to do something to keep my mind off food, although I find that after about 18 hours the hunger really diminishes, so this morning I feel great. I have signed up to work with a holistic/functional Dr, my 1st appointment is this evening. So I am pretty excited about that. I am off work tomorrow, I have like 4 days of leave I need to use before the end of the year, aside from hubbys surgery, and I have to do it between my boss and a co-worker I cover for, who takes the holidays off, which really annoys me, cause that means I never get to take anything off, and she misses 2 month ends in a row, so I have to close her part too.

Anyway, so my plan for this evening is to have soup for dinner, and then my dr meeting is at 6. Tomorrow, I am going to convince hubby to get up early, go on a hike, then we can go pick up my car, and go to Kirklands to pick up my funny christmas tree for the kitchen. When we get home, he will get to put in a new range vent the one I originally bought wasn't enough CFMs and I knew this, but it was cheap. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, it was a big deal. Lesson learned, it's cheaper to get the right thing 1st. I will put away the Halloween decor, I don't really do fall decor, although I really really love my pumpkins in the kitchen, so they will stay until after Thanksgiving. Hopefully, I can find some cute fall stuff at Kirklands on clearance. 😁

Okay that is my update, I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
