Late getting on here today. It's been a busy morning. I started feeling better yesterday afternoon, so I decided to go to trivia after all. As is typical our team was in first going into the last question and then missed the final. It was good though. Kim brought Tim cupcakes for his birthday. His birthday is tomorrow, but…

Another cold day here, not as cold as some, but not comfortable either. 5F when I left for work this morning. Hubby suggested I stay home today because I still feel and sound awful, but there is a 1:00 meeting I need to attend. It's about raises for my people and if I'm not there money could be reallocated and screw my…

Still feeling like poo... Many, many meetings today. Can't wait to go home and nap. No goals.

Didn't post for a few days. No real reason, just not much to report. I'm a bit under the weather today, looks like I finally caught hubby's cold. Fever, sore throat & cough, oh my! Still not bad enough to stay home from work, just bad enough to be annoying and make me tired. V needs me to help with her resume later which…

Did well during the day yesterday, but self destructed at trivia. It started with ordering a calzone instead of a salad, and ended up with 4 drinks instead of 2. I also forgot to go to my mom's. So now I have to do that today. So not in the mood for her to complain about being lonely. It would be different if she were…

Kind of late checking in today, been a busy morning/afternoon. Yesterday was good, and after a week or so of mostly good days, my jeans are buttoning more easily. YAY! JFT Wednesday - Up with pup :smiley: - Meeting at 7:30 :smiley: - Take older dog to vet :smiley: - Back to work :smiley: - Meetings - Go pick up pooch -…

I broke down and logged my food for the first time in a looong time. I was pleasantly surprised.

Roads here were really bad yesterday, but made it safely to and from work. Hubby has been sick so he stayed home. Just had leftovers for dinner. He made soup beans Saturday evening, which I like ok, but they just didn't cut it last night. I heated them up added some cornbread ate like 2-3 bites and tossed it. Ended up…

Lazy weekend for me. Hubby came down with a nasty cold so we had to cancel game night at our place Saturday, but it was nice because we'd already cleaned the house for it. Did a few things with mom Saturday during the day, but finished up by noon. Didn't get any dedicated exercise in, but ate well and in good portions. I…

A recumbent exercise bike might also feel good.

1200 is on the low end. If you put in to lose 2 pounds a week, this often happens. Make sure you put your stats in correctly. Height, weight & age. If you are still truly hungry maybe lower your loss goal to 1 pound per month and see how you feel. Or just raise your calories to 1300 and see how that feels. It's also…

Been thinking a lot about my weight loss journey. So went back and looked at pictures through the years. What I discovered is that I was thin much longer than I was big, yet there was never a point in my life that I was comfortable with my body. I was told by my grandmother when I was about 7 or 8 (some where around the…

Thanks for the Kohls cash reminder! I have $80 to spend...

Hit and miss yesterday. Forgot that I needed to go to my mom's after work and to the store. Did end up going to trivia, but I had a salad instead of parmesan truffle fries, and only drank 2 beers. I guess I'll need to exercise today to "pay" for that since I didn't have time yesterday. I need a gym day, but I'm so…

Didn't get to bed as early as I'd planned, but I did take a long nap in the early evening so that worked out fine. Pooch slept in until 6:30am. It was actually a good time for me to get up. I laid down with him for about 15 minutes, then he got rambunctious and I had to kennel him so that I could get ready for work. All in…

Happy New Year! Welcome to the new folks, welcome back to those who took a break, and to the faithful posters thank you for your sport over the years. I think I’m starting simple. No drinking unless I exercise at least 30 minutes that day. Probably means early morning which is tough for me or possibly after work. Or I just…

I too am glad you are starting a new thread for 2025. I need a fresh start, these last to years I have seen steady weight gain as well as diminished health. Need to let the past be the past and get my tush in gear with diet and exercise. I may actually start with a renewed commitment to fitness. When I'm exercising, I…

Hope y’all had an amazing Christmas!

Yesterday was a fun day. Work was a drag, but I was able to leave early and pick Tim up from a Christmas Party. He wasn't drunk, but had a few too many to drive. Then we went shopping at Kohl's for our secret Santa girl. Spent more than planned, but got her some really nice things. Went home wrapped gifts and then went out…

Delivered some more cookies last night before trivia. Neither person we planned to visit was home, but I got nice thank you notes from them. One gentleman said my pecan balls reminded him of the ones his late wife used to make, and one of my trivia folks said the fudge was just like her mom's. That is a huge honor for me.…

Well, yesterday kind of got away from me. Mom called and guilted me into getting her bird seed. Ordered online to skip the pre-Christmas crazy. Then delivered it and visited which took forever. Then when I finally leave and need to pick up the dog she calls again to say she needs toilet paper. I so didn't want to go to the…

I went to the grocery which was CRAZY. Didn't get the sugar cookies done, but made orange cookies and another batch of pecan balls. Need to get the sugar cookies tonight so we can deliver soon. Sugar cookies are my least favorite to make. They take forever. When the kids helped it was fun, but solo it's just tedious. Food…

Finally starting to feel a little more Christmas-y. Hubby made a list of 17 folks/families for our annual cookie/fudge distribution. Did some baking over the weekend. There are Chocolate Chip Cookies, reduced sugar CC Cookies, My Grandma's Russian Tea Balls, Great Grandma's Sugar cookies (dough is in the fridge), Mamaw's…

Depression compounds so many other things making them so…

Been a little down lately. Not sure why. Tim is also very distant. Usually only one of us is in a funk at a time, and we can pull the other up. I think both our parents are weighing on our minds. His mom is declining and has bouts of paranoia and delusions. My mom's mental capacity is just less and less. I'm getting closer…

JFT Thursday - Work by 7:45 :smiley: - Meetings 8:00 - 3:00 solid :smiley: - Salad for lunch :smiley: - 30 minutes for coffee then last meeting of the day :smiley: - Final meeting of the day - Home - Dinner - Christmas movies and hot chocolate - Shower - Bed

It sounds like something metabolic is going on. Or you have too high a deficit. Id see a medical doctor to make sure your endocrine system, hormones and thyroid are in line. Good luck.

Work holiday luncheon was a huge success. Tons of food and lots of conversation. Deciding instead of going straight home after work that I would go get a mani/pedi. It was nice. Picked up dinner on the way home. Got home ate, spent some time with pups, then decorated the tree with hubby and watched Christmas movies. Pretty…

Well, hubby cooked and I watched the dogs for a bit, then I joined a friend for trivia. When I came home Tim and I finished watching the football game. Got up at 4:00 with the pup as usual, then put him back in the kennel. He cried again at 5:00 so I took him out, then again at 6:00. This time I laid down on the couch and…

Hope y'all had a nice holiday (US) or weekend. We had a great Thanksgiving and weekend. We ate, played games, ate some more, got a tree and visited with family. I worked Wednesday, and we were going to be tight on time Friday, so Tim, Sierra and Chase went to the tree farm. Chase had never cut a tree down before or been to…
