Hi Team! Not too much going on. My brother and his wife stopped by yesterday on their way to Florida for a visit. I hadn’t seen him in years, so it was fun to catch up. Today, I went to work and did the bookkeeping and cleaning. Tonight, I have a meeting with our newly elected event committee to talk about the pastor’s…

Hey everyone! Just doing a quick check-in so you know I'm still around. :grin: Mom got a call yesterday that my brother and his wife will be coming for a visit today. My brother and I parted ways years ago and I haven't even spoken to him in probably 12 years or more. So a little weird but whatever! They recently moved…

Wahoooo on being in first place!! Way to go Slimpossibles!! B) :star: :yum: Today was a sad one for us at church. After the service, we had a business meeting and my pastor told the congregation that he was going to step down at the end of the month due to his health issues. He broke down a couple of times and so did the…

@trooworld Congrats on your loss! :grin: Yeah, I hate it for my Pastor and I also hate it for his wife. You just never know when the life you are living will be turned upside down. :/ @Cornanda thank you, sweet friend! <3 @Katmary71 Thank you so very much for your kind words! Hearing about being strong from someone like…

@trooworld Great job on getting in your workouts. Your coach Natalie looks like she can kick some butt! :grin: I see that you have also been doing well with getting in your water! @cbabie Whoa that is a lot of books!! :o How many of those are unread? Thank you for the prayers and offer of support. Even though we have never…

@vegan4lyfe2012 Ohhhh dear that is a very hard situation with your future daughter-in-law. I know firsthand from my previous marriage how damaging passive-aggressive behavior can be to a marriage and to the family. I will pray that she grows up and has a change in heart with her behavior. And I will add Sydney and Nick to…

@trooworld What are your favorite workouts on the Tonal? I can imagine how hard it will be to have to go back to work 5 days a week after not having to for such a long time. Before Covid, I worked at the church 4 days a week and now I go into the office for about two hours once a week. I can do so much now from home and I…

@Cornanda Congrats on accepting the new job offer and you are right that if you haven’t done full time for a while it will be an adjustment. You will get that 25 lbs. off but maybe don’t put too much pressure on hitting it by a certain date. I don’t know why but whenever I try to target a date to hit my weight by, I almost…

Hello! My name is Teresa! I live in Athens, GA with my sweet husband, my mom, and our fur baby Maggie Mae. I have a wonderful job working for my small church as their ministry assistant and financial secretary. I even do the cleaning! :grin: The last six months have been hard as my husband, who is 23 years older than me,…

@cbabie How fun to do stretches with Baby Girl. :grin: I hope you get some rest. @trooworld Poor Daisy! I hope her eye will heal quickly and she will feel better. A trip to Mexico City sounds wonderful and super relaxing! You now have some real motivation to drop some pounds and buy some cute vacation clothes! :grin:…

@Cornanda Yayyy on your loss this week!! I’m so sorry about your mom’s breast cancer diagnosis, but hopefully like you said it won’t be aggressive and can be managed easily. You have my prayers that she and your dad can find a place to move to where she will end up being safe and taken care of. I know this is a hard time…

@trooworld Pollen is the worst! My mom, who doesn’t even go outside has been suffering so badly from allergies that she didn’t even go to church or the potluck last Sunday. I hope you get some relief soon. :/ @cbabie Sorry that your chest/back hurt. Could it be the way you are sleeping? I’ve had a major pain happening in…

Welcome to all our new members! I hope you all find this group very supportive and welcoming. :) @Cornanda Congrats on nailing the job interview? Can you tell us what it is for? :) @LeahIsALoser that is wonderful to have your best friend joining you as well! With that kind of support, you are for sure going to make your…

@cbabie that is sad that you missed saying goodbye to your neighbor. Sounds like it was time for her to not be on her own anymore. One of my sweet friends from church just sold her home and moved up north to live with her daughter. We will all miss her so much, but it was best for her. Ohhh I hear you about just wanting to…

@laurelfit57 You and Vannie are soooo cute and you look great! <3 The taco sliders were super easy! I just made up some taco meat, grated some cheese, and put them on those yummy Hawaiian rolls. Once all assembled, I melted a stick of butter and added a good bit of garlic powder, and brushed the tops of the rolls with all…

Hi Team! Things are going OK at the moment so I’m thankful for that! Yesterday, Joe and I went to see the new Downton Abbey movie. It was soooooo good!! If you’re a fan go, see it! :grin: Tonight, we are having a Mexican Fiesta church potluck. I’m making Taco Sliders, which should be very tasty and a big hit. I put Joe…

@theslightedgeforever I like that you revised your green dot for exercise. Doing 45 minutes should totally count but also not using it as an excuse to not get the calorie burn is smart. We do have a way of justifying our actions if we don’t set clear rules, don’t we? I let my Pig shriek too much yesterday and today I’m…

@Cornanda I hope you start to feel better and won’t come down with the dreaded Covid. That is great that your son has turned a corner on his teenage angst and that you are able to enjoy his company more. :) @vegan4lyfe2012 That is great that Hunter is ready to move out on her own. Yes, it will be a huge adjustment for you…

@theslightedgeforever I’ve been trying to learn and keep up with the NBA program but of course, it’s been hard with this latest issue with DH. I have a coach that I check in with every day through email where I answer a list of questions about how my day went and if the Pig left its cage. I have rewritten my Big Why and…

Good morning Team! As you all know, I have been dealing with a lot of stuff now that I'm learning how to be my husband's caregiver for all his ongoing health issues. I don't see an end to the new life I am trying to learn and accept. And that is OK! I'm strong and have a really big God that is going to help me adjust to…

@laurelfit57 Thank you and believe me collapsing and doing nothing is what I would love to do, But I have to try to keep as much order in my life as possible or I will go crazy. Yayyy for your winning hockey team and for losing a little weight this week. Enjoy the time outdoors. :) @trooworld I have got to go buy some…

@trooworld I think it’s great that you are ok with not getting a blue dot because you didn’t eat things you shouldn’t have. That beet salad was healthy and sometimes that needs to matter just as much as a blue dot. And as far as your gain, it was a stressful week and those happen, don’t they? ;) We just keep moving…

Hi Team! Joe and I came home from the hospital yesterday evening. The doctor had told us that we could go home at 8 am and we didn’t walk out until almost 6 pm. Ugghhhh!! :s Joe got a good night’s sleep and feels better today but is still very weak. We are learning how to do self-catheterization, which is an experience,…

Hello! I know it's been a while and I'm sorry that I can't do replies tonight. I'm just too worn out. I had to call an ambulance for Joe this morning because he has been sick all week and this morning he passed out. He has a very bad UTI, probably due to the catheter. Plus some other infections and his sodium were low…

Hi Team! This is a quick check-in so you don't think I've gone MIA. I had to call an ambulance for Joe this morning because he was feeling very sick and passed out. He has a very bad UTI and some other infection plus his sodium was low again. We try so hard to keep his sodium up and this just keeps happening. I left him a…

@laurelfit57 That is wonderful that you had such a wonderful Mother’s Day with your family. :) I think trying to hit a certain number on the scale and planning to stay there is unrealistic and will only make you frustrated when the scale fluctuates as it will do. So, I totally think having a range is the best plan and that…
