Okay, I got ambitious and got this done: FOR ALL OF AUGUST! DECLUTTERING CHALLENGE! Why do a decluttering challenge in a weight-loss group? Research has shown that living in cluttered environments increases stress levels, which trigger hormonal imbalances. Hormonal imbalances can lead to overeating and weight gain. Clutter…

@TeresaW2024 LOL not the same (although your Balboa sounds amazing, too!): https://balboapark.org/ Yes, there is a lot to do. I love that park! Thank you! I think it was a good idea to order the hospital bed. I'm glad you didn't have to move your bed. I'm sure it's heavy! It sounds very stressful to have to worry so much.…

@fabgeekmom Yes , it's a nice feeling. I'm glad you had a good day. I love fall days so that would be perfect for me! Yummy dinner. @theslightedgeforever Don't look at it that way , for 10 years, you have been fighting the good fight, putting in the work. I'm sorry it feels like that, though.

@DrewsAnna @askewcr Congrats on the losses ! @askewcr , I hope you aren't getting sick. @vegan4lyfe2012 Good luck with your rabbit hole . Maybe you could make a smoothie and throw some silken tofu in for protein? And protein powder? I find that when I have protein with each meal, I am more full than when I don't. It also…

@fabgeekmom Thank you ! I hope you have a good time at the cottage. Dinner sounds good. Hi all. I am about 90% done with a big project at work that I've been working on for a couple of weeks and it feels good to be almost done. I'll be glad when it IS done! Yesterday, the worker's comp doctor set me free, I don't have to…

@TeresaW2024 I've never been to Balboa Island , but that sounds wonderful! I love salt-water taffy. Balboa Park is in San Diego, it has 18 museums! And the zoo. It's a great place to have fun, and a must-see if you come to San Diego. It's a huge park and is beautiful. I'm so glad, and relieved, to hear that the visit went…

@gemwolf110 Right ? It's gone fast. I am working on decluttering, too! I'm taking the Friday before labor day off and then I have labor day too, to work on my decluttering. Have you ever seen the YouTuber channel "Clutterbug"? She's pretty annoying but she has some good ideas. Congrats on your decluttering! I think it will…

@fabgeekmom That's good you do it anyway . I'm glad you went swimming. Good idea to freeze some fig preserves. I hope you enjoyed pizza night. Hi all. Not much going on here.

@TeresaW2024 It is , isn't it? SO healthy looking (for now lol)! Thank you. It must be a relief to know that the hospice nurse has so much experience and the hospice has a good reputation. I wish you strength in this process. I can only imagine how hard it is. @baodell17724 I think we can take a little out of each of those…
