  • Happy Thursday, everyone! We had a very pretty sunrise over work this morning. So happy for the longer days. Since we come in at 6am, I have been tired of arriving and leaving in the dark! Day 4 of staying on track. Day 3 of being back to doing my Get Fit with Rick workouts. I bit the bullet and joined his paid membership…
  • Happy Tuesday, all! Day 2 of being back on track with my walking workout. Really wanted pizza today - kinda happy I prep all of my and hubby's lunches for the week. He was like....no.....treat day is Friday....so I ate my bacon burger in a low carb wrap and my celery with avocado mash. :p Cold and windy here today - we…
  • Happy, happy birthday, Rita! I hope it's wonderful and relaxing and everything you deserve :) Lynn in NC
  • Good morning, all! What a week last week was.... While the loss of our Libby was still fresh to us, I ended up with Covid on Monday - which is why I haven't posted since then. I have been down and out until basically yesterday. I didn't want to move. I don't know if it was all Covid, but I was so wrung out, so tired. I…

  • Good morning all! First - thank you all for the kind words about our Libby. She was such a huge part of our lives. Neither my hubby or I ever thought her loss would hit us this hard. 14 years was a long time and we are both struggling. We cleaned out the house this weekend of all her stuff - toys went to my son and his…
  • Good afternoon all - just popping in real quick, and will catch up on all the posts tomorrow morning. Not a good day in the Buck house - we took Libby to help her to the rainbow bridge this morning. She woke me up at 3 to let her out, and then had an episode where she couldn't use her left legs. It was time. She had a…
  • Mo - Exactly! I love bananas, but if I can only have a small amount, it's not worth it. I've been trying to stay around 100g of carbs a day. That seems to be my happy place to lose. I have had a couple of really low bs levels in the morning the past few days. Yesterday was 67 and was not feeling well. I usually eat 3 hard…
  • Lisa - thank you! It's really hard - she is our 4th boxer. She'll be the last for a while. Maybe I'll get a cat eventually, but it would be hard to get another dog. Okie - thank you! Are you from Oklahoma? I'm from Tulsa, transplanted to NC.
  • Thank you - I appreciate it!
  • This is my Libby - she is 14 years young. She is my empty nest baby B) I have a 34yo son and a 32yo daughter, both are out of the house and it's just me and hubby. This may seem silly, but I ask for prayers for her. We know that she is nearing the end when we will need to make the decision to help her to the rainbow…
  • Thank you! Yes, I am eating. This all stems apparently from my blood pressure meds (currently on 3). I have been on the same ones for over 14 years. No, not on lasix - this is from Triamterene. I can't eat bananas due to being diabetic - they spike my blood sugar too badly and I am on 3 meds for that also. I am currently…
  • thank you! totally forgot to add that to the bottom of my post - everyone can just call me Lynn :)
  • Hi all! I am new here, but hope that I can join in - My name is Lynn and I am 53 and live in central North Carolina. We are having a beautiful snowy day today. My hubby and I have started on a new year of getting ourselves back in shape and healthy. We are on week 7, but I am struggling. I am losing motivation and just…
