Happy Monday, folks! Missed a few days again, but I'm getting better at remembering to hop on. I think for me it is a matter of preferring to update on my laptop, but now that I'm retired, I don't use my laptop much. I need to make it a priority because I miss it when I don't do it…and I miss you guys too! @beachwalker99…

Happy Hump Day! I have no appointments or “have to’s” today, so YAY for quiet days. My husband is up north for a few hours working n the hunting land, so I have the house to myself (well, me and my dog 🥰). I plan to fold and put away my whites in the dryer, clean the fridge, wash & chop produce for a mini salad bar, bake a…

today was a cluster of a day…. So much drama with my mother and SIL. I am about to have a bowl of ice cream which was in my plan today, but I will measure it out to make sure I don’t eat half the carton out of fatigue. I had an oncology treatment today, so that usually makes me tired anyway, plus the situation at my mom’s…

@pridesabtch oh my gosh, you have so much going on, and none of it an easy fix! Does your mom remember taking her neighbor’s boots or trying to take someone’s dog? Seems like she shouldn’t even be going out of the house alone at night, but you certainly can’t be there to guard her doors 24/7. Do you have siblings? Do they…

Good morning JFTers! It’s another hot & humid day in Wisconsin. I love summer, but i think I’d rather deal with winter than this humidity. (Did I just say that out loud? Ooops!) Today we need to do some grocery shopping 🛒 which is definitely NOT my happy place. Hoping t9 get it done early this morning so I can get on with…

Happy Sunday! It's the start of a brand new week. And I plan on working toward healthier habits. @HappyDonkey75 Congrats on selling the truck! What a nice surprise! I didn't know dealers could see when you enter info on KBB. I'll have to remember that. I have not used carvana either. I am hoping our Honda Pilot lasts a few…

Hey JFT Friends! I’m back from vacationing at my dad’s on the lake. Was really nice to see him. Very relaxing to sit by the water, listen to the loons, frogs, waves and silence. We fished some, and boy were they ever biting! Had a fish on with every cast. So fun. Was great to see my dad and stepmom. His health is going…

happy Saturday! Boy, am I ever behind! I read the last few pages just to catch up a bit and will read the rest over the next few days. @beachwalker99 sending you hugs, and said a prayer for you and your family members who are struggling with health issues. @pridesabtch Good luck with getting your mom to an activity at the…

Hi JFTers! Had 3 pages to read to catch up. Good to see you, @TerriRichardson112 ! I've been thinking about you! @HappyDonkey75 Congrats on both doing well at the horseshow and having fun! Sorry you're not feeling well though. Hopefully it is a 24-hour bug. @cschmitz110515 I'm sorry about the loss of your SIL. It's never…

Hey JFT friends! Happy Monday. I hope you all have a nice week, with as little stress as possible. Yesterday was grandson J's 25th birthday party. It was supposed to be a surprise, but he figured it out the night before. Still had a nice time, although it was outdoors at his mom's house and it was raining buckets in…

Good morning! Happy Saturday JFT friends! 😎🔆🌤️ I have a ton of things in my head that I want to get done today, which means I will probably feel totally overwhelmed and do none of them. Tomorrow is a surprise 25th birthday party for our grandson J, so I need to make a crockpot of cheesy potatoes to bring. I need to run to…

I love the "no criticizing the grandkids" rule. I think I could handle my mother's comments better if they were only about me. When she criticizes my children or grandchildren, that cuts like a knife. Can I ask how your sister enforces that rule? Does she leave or does she just remind your mom of the rule and that's enough?

@Kizzy_Ann Welcome! Congratulations on your loss since May! That’s a fantastic start. 🥳👏😁 @beachwalker99 How did your husband’s postop appointments go? Hope you’re feeling better! @more_freggies76. How was your hiking vacation? I’ll bet it was wonderful. Do you camp when you hike or day hike with a hotel at night? I cannot…

I agree! I miss them too! Hoping all is well. I wonder if the changes to MFP formatting may have made it too time-consuming to update and post new goals?

Happy Friday! Yesterday was a bust for tracking my food. I totally went off the rails at buffet yesterday and ate all the things fried and salty. Tasted so good but was NOT in line with my goals or the fact I have upcoming cholesterol labs. I rarely eat fried foods, although I love them, so once I started it was like a…

Happy Thursday! Popping on quick before we run to meet my mother and cousin (here from Seattle) for lunch. Mom wants to go to Golden Corral because she lost all her teeth from radiation to her neck and heck for throat cancer and it is very hard to find things she can eat at most restaurants. GC has a lot of options from…

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. Drink 60 oz water before 7 pm Close exercise rings. Walk. Wall push-ups per PT. Lymphedema massage. Self Care time Early to bed. I've been not sleeping…

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…
