@trooworld I'm thinking positive thoughts for you and I'm excited that you finally got to go back to work full time. Are you full time in person? How does it feel being away from the house again? I took one look at my schedule today and just groaned. I've got back-to-back-to-back meetings from 8am-4:30pm with one 1/2 hour…

@theslightedgeforever Sorry to hear you've been struggling with balance. Is there anything in particular that seems to be throwing it off? @trooworld I'd definitely recommend the Sims 4 if you need a distraction, it's even more addicting now if you can believe it. And please don't beat yourself up over the post holiday…

@trooworld I don't think a runny nose is COVID related so hopefully it's just a cold. Either way getting sick is never fun. I'm so sorry you aren't feeling well and hope you feel better soon. @cbabie I bet it was super cute to watch her dance around to the music! So sorry you didn't get to see your Grandson, but I'm so…

@theslightedgeforever You are speaking my language with the cost/reward thought process! I am definitely a squirreler instead of a spender, I think through almost every purchase that I make because I'm all about spending for experiences instead of spending for stuff. Luckily my SO is a squirreler too so he's on board! I…

@trooworld Sounds like you've got a busy day of cooking ahead! And congrats on the loss, that is a fantastic incentive @TeresaW1020 I hope you enjoy every last bite of that stuffing and sip of wine. I think it's a great idea to take an average weight since today is a holiday and the weigh in after won't be accurate or…

@cbabie I'm so sorry to hear about your rough week but I'm glad you're back. I got a good laugh out of your black sheep comment! I have definitely fallen into that category before. I hope everything goes well and that you all stay healthy @TeresaW1020 I bet those red placemats will look amazing at the table! Do you have…

@TeresaW1020 I'm just cooking for my husband, and then one friend who would otherwise be alone for Thanksgiving. We're keeping it very isolated because the numbers around here are BANANAS! Smart idea running to Aldi's before the crowds. I LOVE their Thanksgiving deals, I swear it makes it one of the cheapest meals of the…

@theslightedgeforever I'm excited you still get to see the parade even if it is virtual. This year is going to be really tough around the holidays not seeing everyone, we are fully expecting to get some of the holiday sads. And I can tell you live in a warm climate suggesting taking lunch outside lol. Most days through the…

@cbabie Thank you for your kind words. 2020 has definitely been a test in managing emotions. I'm so sorry to hear about your binge. I hope you're able to get out for a walk today and that you don't beat yourself up too much. Is it still family stress? @trooworld Alcohol definitely helps lol. I hope you have fun at the…

@trooworld I'm so excited for you! I feel like your house/bathroom has been under construction for way too long! Great idea about the self check-in. I'm definitely keeping as much crap as I can out of the house! @cbabie lol I may have to invest in handcuffs then! I think I am going to set up my office downstairs this time…

@theslightedgeforever There's no way I'd be able to last more than a week on it either! I had a hard time finding recipes that were very exciting. I'm glad your internet got fixed, especially in the days of corona it's a necessity! @cbabie I'm so sorry to hear about all the tension in your house but I'm glad you were able…

@RetiredandLovingIt that makes a lot of sense to wait a bit more before making concrete plans. You're absolutely right that a lot could change in that time! I'm so glad your family stayed healthy and had no symptoms. We're also going 100% remote due to the increased cases. I think it makes a lot of sense but I definitely…

@theslightedgeforever I totally get that. Some days it seems like the plan gets entirely lit on fire! What were some habits that used to really help you? @TeresaW1020 I LOVE holiday decorations and can't wait to see yours. And I've never been a pork rinds fan so luckily I'm safe there, it's just keeping the sugar free…

@trooworld You're lucky you live in a warm area, otherwise I'd be running for the hills with 3 hours of no electricity! I'm glad work made you feel better, it really does help to see other people and get some interaction in (outside of our SOs). I love that you have your dream job. @theslightedgeforever curry chicken on…

@cbabie Three times outside? Way to go! And I'm glad your GS is okay, I feel like cases are getting closer and closer to home lately. @TeresaW1020 Sorry to hear you've got a carb hangover, the day after we indulge is always rough, but it sounds like a really fun day! @trooworld I agree with you there. I was so stressed and…

@TeresaW1020 I hope so too, but with being required to go in person to work I figure it's only a matter of time. And dog holiday shopping is always my favorite! Sorry to hear your garland didn't work, is there somewhere else in the house it would hang well? @trooworld I hope you can get your hours back, but I totally get…

@theslightedgeforever We probably will have to look at a new normal. With the rising numbers, I'll be shocked if we don't have a lockdown/stay in place order coming up. And you're a strong lady to move all those planters, that is hard work! @cbabie Sorry you had a rough weekend with food too, although .2lbs isn't bad at…

@TeresaW1020 That tree is beautiful, what a fun idea for the holidays. And I absolutely LOVE your new photo, you look so cute! @trooworld You were super busy! How did the cheesecake come out? And I'm impressed by your sewing skills, I can barely sew on a button. So you know all my good plans to do well on Saturday? We…

Whelp, I ended up eating my stress and feelings yesterday afternoon. I've had a lot of big emotions this week and with all the election stress and quarantine stress I think I just broke. This week I'm going to cook healthy options get the junk out of the house so I can refocus on my goals. @trooworld Glad you enjoyed them!…

@TeresaW1020 I'm so happy that that family seems to be doing well. I can't even imagine losing a child and I am so excited for them that their new baby seems to be healthy! And my Mom reminded me that I've got many, many years to make it to all the countries I want to go to so if it's delayed it's no big deal. Travel is…

@theslightedgeforever It looks like you killed it on your goals, way to go! And I did get a workout in. It was a lighter one but it still felt good to get my body moving @RetiredandLovingIt I had to laugh at your comment about 60 degrees, it really does feel like a heatwave after all the snow we've been getting! It sounds…

Morning all. I am struggling today, definitely too much junk and booze last night. I did get 4 hours of dissertation work in and took the dogs for a long walk so I'm being somewhat productive, but bleh. I'm sure this is everyone right now, but everything about the last 24 hours just makes me really sad and there's no…

Way to go @Stephtra49! @trooworld Oh no! You cannot catch a break with the bed! Is it fixable or do you have to order another one? Being up at 4am is awful @theslightedgeforever Sorry to hear it was a rough day for your goals. I hope today goes better! Happy Tuesday All! While I'm not super thrilled to be back in…

@stephtra49 Congrats on the loss, way to go! @cbabie Bummer on your fitbit breaking, but congrats on the loss. That's awesome! @TeresaW1020 Congrats on the loss! It sounds like you and your husband had a blast at the car show, what fun! And it sounds like you definitely made use of the extra time with daylight savings, I…

@theslightedgeforever Congrats about the additional loss, it sounds like it's right on track to your goal! @trooworld I've been wondering about that movie, was it worth a watch?! I'm so glad you have the bedframe back (and that your hubby took over the project so you didn't have to do it!). Your appetizer spread sounded…

@cbabie way to get in your walk. Sorry to hear you ate your feelings though :( What happened? @TeresaW1020 Sounds like the holidays are a busy time for you at work! And my dogs aren't huge fans of wearing clothes but they are resigned to their fate and don't put up a fight when I put them on. Congratulations to your Mom on…

@cbabie It's about a mile each way so not too crazy. And I think tracking is the most important part, way to go! And if it's a zoom meeting no need to shower lol @trooworld I'm glad you liked the photos! I'm so glad the frame is coming soon for your sanity! And new managers are always a cause for anxiety, I hope she is a…

By popular request: here are the photos of my kids in their Halloween costumes. @trooworld It seems that you are in the battle of the bedtimes! How soon before the new frame comes. And I typically walk the dogs until it hits 20 degrees and then it's too cold for them, but I walk to work year round, which includes -20…

@cbabie You are definitely not failing with 1lb lost, way to go!!! @trooworld It sounds like you made the best of a bad situation. I hope you don't beat yourself up too much for it! And I did go back and re-track out of curiosity. I was WAY over Saturday, but only about 300 calories over Sunday so I'm calling it a win.…

Whelp...I did not check in this weekend...and I didn't eat the greatest. Friday we did pizza and wine on the floor. I tracked everything and was really proud of myself! Saturday I mostly stuck within my goals, but ended up drinking when I didn't plan on it and felt pretty yucky the next day. I did do a long dog walk and…
