Sorry I got quiet. 4th of July weekend took a LOT out of me and then returning to work on Monday left me a ton of work. Ugh! So I've been swamped. But I'm still hanging on. I'll try to read thru all the other posts from this week later today or tomorrow. It's just been crazy busy.

Linda 41 years old 7/1 - 240 lbs 🌈What have you accomplished so far this year? What are you still hoping to acheive? And where would you like to see yourself in another six months? I haven't accomplished anything health-wise this year. In fact, I've gone backwards. March of 2023 I hit my lowest ever adult weight at 195...…

@planktonbye that sounds interesting. I'll add it to my ever growing to-be-read. I love using Hoopla & Libby or my library's website for audiobooks and ebooks. I also have Kindle Unlimited for a lot of ebooks. Add in that I have about 700 to 800 books at home and am on the first name basis with our favorite librarian.....…

@girlinkaz744 We made a bunch of shakes and smoothies this weekend. I used the food processor part for shredding up lettuce and cheese for tacos. Then I used the blender for homemade salsa too. :D I really am like a kid with a new toy at Christmas. @planktonbye I love your motto. I know I'm really bad about eating because…

We got a new Vitamix yesterday!!!! Our Ninja finally went up and my husband decided that I need a really good blender since I enjoy cooking. So any good recipes where you blend anything let me know. 🤣 I'm already planning to buy my gyro ingredients now that I can puree the onion, garlic, and herbs again. We make protein…

Good morning!!!! I haven't checked in with the group since January, so I'm trying to be back. Especially with the news feed no longer there. :'( I am starting to log on Lose It instead of here since I can use the bar code scanner. I miss hearing all your updates and having a place to check in. For those who don't know me,…

Hey all!!!! I hope you all have an amazing Thanksgiving weekend!

@kiteflyer105 I don't really plan to do any tracking for Thanksgiving. I plan to enjoy that one day and then go back to what I normally do the following day. I go to see my doctor this afternoon. I know my weight is up but my A1C was decent last week when I had the labs run. So I hope it goes fairly smoothly. I'm in charge…

Good morning all!!!! My friend came from Thursday thru Sunday. We ate all the things.... breakfast at a mom & pop place, Indian food, pizza, over the top ice cream sundaes, Mexican food, we hit up the Mexican bakery too, chips, dip, candy.... However, during his visit he also mentioned that he had joined the YMCA back home…

Why is it that cold pizza is always so good the next morning? :D

Good morning!!!! Today is my Friday as I took a vacation day for tomorrow. Our friend from home (Maryland) is coming to visit us for the weekend (in South Carolina). He's driving down right now and we're hoping to see him in another 9 to 10 hours. Woot!!!! I'm so crazy excited for us to see our friend. My daughter even…

Good morning!!!!! I got my newest recipe up on my blog for Slow Cooker Adobe Chicken and Rice. https://www.healthyeatingwithlinda.com/post/slow-cooker-adobo-seasoned-chicken-rice-with-a-hidden-vegetable I need to text my neighbor/accountability partner about maybe going to the gym tonight. I know if I'm left to my own…

I had sooo much food at movie night on Saturday and then ate so many leftovers yesterday. I still have quite a few leftovers to eat but I'm back to moderation after a weekend of having whatever I wanted of what was around. In good news (or bad depending on how you look at it) I'm out of mashed potatoes. Since that's my…

I went to Zumba last night. I've only been a couple times over the past 4 months when I used to go 3 to 5 times a week. I always forget how much fun I have until I'm there. Like I just DON'T want to go to the gym but then I have a great time once I'm there. It helped that the teacher was actually my daughter's room mom a…

Linda 5'7" & 40 years old SW: 300 lbs Prev Low: 191 lbs Oct 30: 216 lbs 🍁What do you hope to accomplish this month or before the year is out? I'm hoping to lose at least 5 lbs this month. It's not a huge amount and it feels realistic. Given I hit my low weight earlier this year and then put 27 lbs back on almost…

No candy yet today but we did have a pumpkin shaped pizza from Papa John's.

@justanotherjen13 I hope you feel better quickly! Pain after shots is so unpleasant. I get allergy shots every few weeks and sometimes it causes a large painful bump on each arm (I don't know why some months isn't too bad and others are horrible). Sleeping afterwards is a joke.

Hey all! I'm trying to keep on track and so far today I'm doing well. Yesterday I did a trunk or treat and took caramel corn flavored rice cakes topped with peanut butter and chocolate chips, spicy pickle flavored popcorn, an apple, and pistachios with me so I wouldn't be tempted by candy or the food truck. Then a friend…

I didn't make it to the YMCA because one of my daughter's favorite trunk or treat events plus small festival was last night. I had completely forgotten. However, I only ate 2 pieces of candy while trailing her so I'm going to count that as a win after all. I also finally started writing my recipe blogs again. I was every 2…

Checking in..... finally free of emergencies, home repairs, and all the other chaos. Of course, now the house is full of candy from Trunk or Treat events and all that fun. I really need to be 100% back on track. I checked my fasting blood sugar this morning after having some goodies at my neighborhood book club last night.…

I made this commitment on Tuesday morning. By Tuesday afternoon I had a scratchy throat and wasn't feeling 100%. By yesterday morning my over the counter test was positive for C. So...... I'll try restarting my commitments again next week when I can leave the house and don't feel so miserable.

When it rains it pours.... I posted yesterday I had gotten back to Zumba and that I was ready to tackle being back on track.... then I had a scratchy throat yesterday afternoon and tested positive for Covid this morning when I woke up feeling miserable.

Hey all! I'm back. I essentially had a lot of excuses followed by legit emergencies all throughout this summer and I disappeared from the boards entirely. So.... I'm back and trying to get my butt in gear again. Starting simple with my goals as it's been a while since I really made any. JFT: 👸Log food all day 👸No coffee…

Hey all! I know I've been pretty silent for the past 2 months or so. A lot has been going on but if I don't get my butt in gear, it's going to be bad. I hit my lowest weight ever this past spring. Now I've put 25 lbs back on already. So many excuses followed by so many legit emergencies..... it just hasn't been pretty. I…

Linda 40 years old, 5’7” SW: 300 lbs Prev Low: 191 lbs GW: 180 lbs CW: 215-ish (I need to do a real weigh in again) 🎃What are your plans for October? Are you trying to accomplish anything (big or small) in the last three months of 2023? I just want to get back on track. I keep either making excuses or having real…

I haven't been checking in. I wanted to just jump in quickly and let you all know why and what's been happening. At the end of August i had severe pain and then an emergency root canal. Once I could finally eat again, I went on a family reunion vacation with my husband's family. Now that I've been back for about a week and…

I'll get around to actually catching up and reading everything later this week. Today I'm trying to catch up on work that I skated around some last week and all the other things I had to let slide. Pain-wise I'm much better. It's still uncomfortable like a deep bruise. However, no more stabbing throbbing pain. I can't…

New tooth pain update. I went yesterday for my endodontist consult. He decided, even though I had only been on the antibiotic for 24 hours, to squeeze me in to do the actual root canal. I've been told that between the infection and the procedure that I should expect to be sore for a few days, possibly thru the weekend. He…

Quick update on where I've been this week.... On Sunday I started having tooth pain. On Monday my dentist was out of the office. On Tuesday I was told I need to see an endodontist because they are fairly sure I need a root canal. Today I have a consult with the endodontist. I'm not eating healthy but a lot of that is I…
