  • @melaniedscott Great job! Keep it up! Hope you got all your cabinetry sorted and were able to hike with your friend.
  • @sleepymom5 Great job! Keep it up! It is easier when we write things down and plan. Seems like it shouldn't be an issue to just do it. I know I do much better when I do it. I'm resistant to it sometimes too. I think for me it's because I want to just be able to eat and not think about it. I know people who don't have an…
  • Tuesday 11/10 check in Food: good Water: 32 oz Exercise: PT exercises I had a doctor's appointment early this afternoon so I had to get up early to go to that. Just a normal regular yearly well woman appointment. Monday night was the first time I was back to work in 4 days so I wondered how my knee would handle it. I was…
  • @sleepymom5 Glad you got an answer at the orthopedic appointment. Even though it doesn't fix the problem, just knowing what it is seems to help. Glad he was able to say he can get you through your 50's without surgery. That's the last thing I would want. I would let your PT know about the pain with some of the exercises,…
  • They look great! However, I'd probably eat the whole bag in one sitting!😊
  • @goingape It was close to 70 degrees here again today but will be down to the mid 40's again tomorrow. Some of us were talking and some remembered that last year at this time we had snow on the ground. Have fun with your craft project. I don't have a creative bone in my body!🤣 You're right, we can do it! Keep on keeping on!
  • @pacsnc6 Thanks! We all think she's pretty adorable! Never thought about showing her that picture in 10 years, that's a good idea!
  • My great niece eating (wearing) her birthday cake.🥰
  • @cafelelia Glad you were able to work through the stress without stress eating. Great job! The weather here has been pretty nice the last few days and will continue until tomorrow. According to the news. The weather is going to get colder again on Wednesday. I'm enjoying working with my trainer too. Yes, he is supportive…
  • After my trainer told me I needed to start keeping track again, I did that for the rest of Thursday and the weekend. Friday and Saturday went well but Sunday was the birthday party for my great niece. I got a little carried away there and ate too much, even though my plan was not to do that. Need to do better the rest of…
  • @sleepymom5 Hope the orthopedic appointment goes well! I think a lot of us are doing the "I"ll get back on track tomorrow" thing and of course we all know "tomorrow" never comes. Glad you've got a plan set up for this week. Yes, I do have the crockpot recipes from the cooking classes I took. I also have plenty of cookbooks…
  • @debbiewsharpe Hope you and your husband both heal soon!
  • @GingerPwr I'm with you on the slump. Have been eating everything in sight for quite some time, mostly takeout for breakfast and dinner, which isn't good for my wallet or waistline. Combine that with my knee issue from preventing any high intensity workouts and sometimes stops me from low intensity as well. I know what I'm…
  • I hope you enjoy your weekend away. I also hope you get some answers at your appointment on Monday. Glad it's feeling better than it was. Hopefully you can get back to normal soon! Thanks! I do too! It seems like it's been getting worse not better. I did ask the therapist about it. It's possible that it's going to get…
  • Check in for the week Haven't been doing well with food or exercise. My knee has been bothering me quite a bit so that's making it difficult to exercise. I've been going to the physical therapy office twice a week and doing my "homework" twice a day. So that's been my exercise for most of the week. I did work with my…
  • @mxlaw90 @pacsnc6 Thanks! I agree!
  • Thanks! I think so too! I don't get to see them very much so I'm glad their parents post pics on Facebook!
  • Here are my great nieces in their Halloween costumes. Harper is a deer and her cousin Josie is a lion. I'm probably a little biased but I think they're pretty cute!🥰
  • I'm Linda, 51 and live in Michigan. I don't have kids but have 3 grown nephews who are married. I've been on this team since October 2019. Thank you to all who have encouraged me! It has been helpful. I'm officially on the cheer squad for November. I don't have many specific goals for the month other than trying to get…
  • I didn't work Friday night so I was able to sleep at night.😴 I think I slept around 7 hours, which is a lot for me.😊 but I also woke up around 4:30 am. Go figure, I can sleep longer and my body says, no. Anyway, I decided to just get up, did a load of laundry, went to the store to find a birthday present for my great…
  • @sleepymom5 Halloween candy is always a problem! Good thing I live in a condo complex and have never gotten any trick or treaters since I've lived here. Not that it will help this year but my suggestion would be to buy things you don't like to hand out. Happy cleaning! Yes, the therapist said he would give me more…
  • @lennoncpa You're welcome! I like the term you used. "Making peace with food" Like you said it's possible that something is bothering you and then you turn to food or possibly not. For me, I find that I just like to eat and most times it's unhealthy foods. I don't know why that is. I know I can lose weight since I've done…
  • I'm still behind in posts but saw we have a few new folks. Welcome to all of you! I'd tag you but I would spend too much time trying to find the posts that have your usernames.😊 Just know this is a great supportive group!
  • @1theresamcvean Sorry you haven't been feeling well. Hugs!
  • @lennoncpa You're definitely not alone on the bad habits creeping back in. Mine didn't "creep" back. They came back with a vengeance. You'd think I know better and, of course, I do. Definitely need a swift kick in the backside!😉 I know my trainer would love to "beat" me more but with my knee issue we are pretty limited in…
  • My physical therapy session yesterday was good. A little longer than it will be normally since it was an assessment visit and I had to fill out some paperwork. We talked about what was going on and then he did some stretching for it. Basically I laid on the exam table while he moved my leg around and tried not to hurt me…
  • @sleepymom5 Aww, thanks for saying you would miss me.😊 I would miss you and the others too. I know I need to do this. Can't be going to my annual doctor's appointment in January at the weight I am now.😥 You're right, we (all of us) can do this! I hope the doctors can figure out what's really going on with your knee and get…
  • First PT session went well. Going into work now so will post more about it tomorrow when I have time. Will also read through the posts I've missed. Have a good night all!
  • @podperson1 Yes, I also think sticking with someone in the medical field you've already dealt with is a good idea. They already know a bit about you and that makes it a little easier. I'm glad my insurance allows me to choose where I can go for my procedures Thanks, I know that posting regularly did help me so I definitely…
  • @goingape I do have a good relationship with the PT at the clinic. It's a small one, which probably makes that easier. Thanks, I'm sure that it will help. Glad you were able to do your classes. Sorry you didn't sleep well. Hopefully it will be better today.
