Happy Hump Day! It's cloudy and a little chilly at 65 degrees (no sun and the breeze makes it feel a bit colder to me) and there is a chance of showers. I want to get out and take a short walk around the neighborhood soon in case it does. It actually kind of smells like rain, if you know what I mean. Oncology appointment…

Nice relaxed weekend. Hung out at youngest son's on Sunday afternoon and grilled out for dinner. Was a nice visit and good to get some sunshine. Yesterday we took a drive to a little fishing town on Lake Michigan that we really like. The lake was so calm, the water was like glass. That's unusual for the big lake. We walked…

@pridesabtch You have a lot on your plate, for sure. I'm so sorry to hear of the health issues your FIL, MIL and mom are having. I hope you are able to find solutions that help everyone involved soon. I have dealt with panic attacks most of my adult life, so I know how horrible those feel. I hope you are able to enjoy this…

Today's goals are: 24 Hr Plan & Assess Log my food. Close food diary at end of day. Get calcium in and pay attention to how much processed crap I'm grabbing mindlessly.

LOL! I don't miss my then boyfriend either! :) I rented an apartment near there also-that was back when I first moved to town. Zeppelin's had really good gyros too! 😁

Hi friends! It's finally decent weather in Wisconsin. It's a little cool today but I have the patio door open letting in the fresh air anyway. We have so much family drama going on lately and it's really draining. I know that's not healthy, especially since I eat my emotions, and let's just say I don't exactly grab for…

@mytime6630 Happy Anniversary! Congratulations on the weight loss! I would like to know whose YouTube channel you are watching. It sounds very similar to the No BS Women (previously known as PNP or Phit 'n Phat) program. Eat what you want but only when hungry and stop at enough... I'm adding you and your husband to my…

Hey @Bex953172 I am just seeing this. I went to the link to donate, but it is a different currency and I'm not sure how to do that! I think this is a wonderful cause! 💞💝

Hey there JFT peeps! Happy Monday! We have some potentially severe weather forecasted for today and tonight, so I guess Spring has finally arrived to Wisconsin. I guess I'm happy it's not a snow storm… he @cschmitz110515 Love the pictures from the NFL Draft activities. Congrats on the 5k! That sounds fun. Do you know, I've…

Just catching up, as I missed yesterday. Busy group! I had a stress test this morning so was gone most of the morning and have been a slug on the couch this afternoon. I couldn’t drink coffee or have any caffeine yesterday or this morning until after the test, and if I ever wondered if I was addicted to my morning…

Happy Friday! Rainy day here in Wisconsin, so I'm thinking it is a good day to make a big pot of soup and maybe bake a cake. I'm feeling kind of sad that I'm not having the family over for Easter this year, but I'm guessing since nobody reached out and asked about plans, they probably have other plans anyway. Just feels…

Hey JFT friends! Happy Thursday! I've missed a few days again. I had my long infusion appointment on Tuesday, which I have every 3 months. The shorter ones don't make me anxious anymore…it's just an injection every 3 weeks for those. But the infusion into my port every 3 months always makes me a little anxious and when I'm…

Hello JFT friends. It’s very windy here today. My wind chimes are playing all kinds of tunes. 😁☀️ Tomorrow, I have an appointment at oncology and it’s my longer appointment because I will get labs drawn, an injection and an infusion through my port of a bone strengthener. I also see the Dr for a touch base. I’m already…

@more_freggies76 I’m so sorry to hear about your friend with Parkinson’s. What a lousy hand to be dealt. 🫂🥺 it’s nice you were able to do something normal to distract him for a bit. I know when I’m dealing with chemo or anything scary like that, I appreciate the people who talk to me about normal everyday stuff. ❤️…

Happy Sunday, JFT friends! Hope you are having a nice weekend! My day started out kind of ho-hum but then I decided I felt well enough to go to church in person instead of watching online, and I’m so glad I went! It was a really good sermon, beautiful music, wonderful fellowship and I left feeling so much better. I’ve had…

@HappyDonkey75 Sorry to hear about your knee! Ouch! I hope it isn't anything serious and it heals quickly for you. thanks for the info about the scale. I have a Renpho scale with all those metrics and I have no idea what they mean, except that I am very out of shape and my metabolic age is years older than I actually am.…

Yesterday was nice. Got to go to grandson's last basketball game, and was surprised to see his 18yo brother came to watch it too. Two grands in one shot…very happy grandma here. I ate too much for dinner…I am struggling to stop eating when I've had enough lately and I know it's because I'm just telling myself "but it…

Happy Monday! It's cloudy and cold again…welcome to spring in Wisconsin, I guess. Yeterday we did some outside work in the yard and took a ride to a couple of the wildlife refuges in the area. Was a nice day. I think it was in the 50's? Today we have the last basketball game of the season for one of our grandsons. He is in…

Happy Sunday! Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. 😎 Yesterday, I spent quite a bit of time downstairs in my sewing room. It felt good to be down there with the fireplace and Netflix on. It's just an electric fireplace but it still adds to the ambience. Today the sun is shining and hubby and dog are out back raking up…

@pridesabtch your story was really interesting! Thanks for sharing your story and your insights. I think you’re definitely going in the right direction, making good sustainable changes! 😎

You’ve got this! I have done many of the same yo-yo’ing in my weight and am on a health journey too. I have until June to get my cholesterol levels down by making lifestyle changes (food choices and exercise) or Cardiologist will put me on a statin drug. I think making small sustainable changes is the best way (for me…

Good morning! The sun is out and we have blue skies this morning, so that was nice to wake up to. We’ve got snow coming tomorrow night I think, so I’ll just be present in the day and enjoy it while we have it. ☀️☕️🌷 Weather dude said 51° for a high, so I think I might take my dog for a walk later. 😎 Not a great day for…

Hi JFT friends! Have a great Friday! 🪷 @cschmitz110515 We must’ve just passed each other at Woodman’s. We got there just before 1:00.

Posting goals (in post above) for tomorrow now since I just got caught up reading posts back to March 13th. I just can’t get used to the new format, or lack of formatting tools that we used to have. I hope MFP stops making changes that are not for the better, in my opinion. I really miss the Quote option. We have been sick…

Oh boy. I don’t see my normal formatting options and after catching up on your posts, I see they did another “upgrade”. Ugh. Another learning curve. I wish they’d just leave it be. I still haven’t gotten over the demise of our Newsfeed! 😬🤦🏻‍♀️ I know it’s late in the day, but I had goals in mind and want to be accountable.…
