Hey everyone! Sorry I went MIA, but I had chemo last week Tuesday and have been feeling kinda punky. Not able to eat much. Today I had a dental appointment for cleaning and check up and that went well so I'm pretty happy about that. My mouth and gums have been tender (another lovely chemo side effect) so I was afraid it…

Good morning! I had 3rd chemo treatment yesterday so am making goals but if I don’t succeed with some of them, it’s ok. I still want to be accountable…more for healthy habits than weightloss at this point…of course I still want to lose more weight because it contributes to my health, but it’s not priority right now. I did…

I was thinking same thing, @Snowflake1968 ! I thought that was a really fast year too! 😂 @pridesabtch hope your evaluation went well, sorry about your mom issues. I understand them well. I have a friend whose mother is very narcissistic also and she nicknamed her “momrrhoid”. It makes me chuckle to think of that nickname…

I’m so happy to see you, my friend! Really happy also that you had such a nice visit with your grandson! Sounds like a wonderful time building memories. I would’ve totally gained 7;lbs too! Lol. Nothing like feasting on fast food tho…. I’ve been craving it lately. My taste buds are off and have a metallic taste in my mouth…

Late in the day, but I want to keep myself accountable. Hope everyone is having a nice Friday. I’m struggling with scary thoughts about my upcoming chemo treatment next week, as well as scary thoughts about what the future holds. So yesterday I had an emotional day and ate off plan mindlessly. Finally, I just let myself…

Yesterday my toxicity check & labs following my 2nd chemo treatment went well. Managing side effects better, so it’s been tolerable, and my white count bounced back nicely with the additional med they gave me this time. Pretty happy! Was so nervous I’d end up in hospital again. Feeling grateful! Hope everyone is doing…

Good day everyone! I rode with my husband to drop off Christmas serving dishes at my son’s today. They are hosting the family gathering this year since I can’t be around a lot of people. I’m happy they’re all pulling together and still getting together for Christmas but I must admit I’m feeling left out and kind of sad…

I ended up in the hospital for 8 days after my first chemo treatment. Was inpatient with sepsis and about 7 other things that crashed from my white cells crashing. Was pretty scary. I got out last week Wednesday. Two days ago, Tuesday, was my 2nd treatment. They decreased the amount of chemo by 25% and held one of the…

Hi all, just caught up a bit. @cschmitz110515 so glad your mom’s surgery went well! Sorry about your wall oven but I’m sure your parents will understand and appreciate the stollen even more next month! @pridesabtch I’m glad you’re feeling better. I hope you got the best possible results on Tim’s bone scan! Glad you didn’t…

Thank you for your prayers. I’m sorry to hear all you’re going through and will add you and your loved ones to my prayer list. 🙏🏼

@cschmitz110515 Have fun at the Packers v Chiefs game!! What a fun surprise!

Happy Saturday JFTers! Hope you all have a great weekend! We might put up a Christmas tree today. We have always bought real trees in the past, but this year we might put up an artificial tree because of it being easier to take care of and my not feeling good enough to go looking for "the perfect tree" this year. Picking…

Hi JFTers. I'm 12 pages behind again, back to October 17th. I apologize for going MIA again, but I have had some more medical stuff come up. I found out a few days after my last post that my breast cancer has come back and has metastasized to my spine. I had my first chemotherapy treatment yesterday and I will be on some…

Good day, JFT friends! Happy Monday! I am starting to feel human again, so that’s awesome. It’s nice to be able to breathe through my nose again…just sayin’. 😊 I weighed myself on Sunday, and I was only down 0.2 lbs, but I was actually quite pleased the number went down rather than up. I’m finally out of the 180’s for the…

Just read back a few pages and caught up a bit. It's too late to post goals today, so I thought I'd just post a quick reply to some of you and tomorrow I can hop on and list some goals. @pridesabtch I missed your 50th birthday! Happy belated birthday! Hope your 90-day proficiency review went well. @beachwalker99 I'm so…

Hi everyone. Went to the doctor today and he put me on antibiotics for sinuses. I think the Covid is clearing up but infection settled in my sinuses apparently. Hopefully these meds kick in quickly and I can get off my butt and have a life again. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤧😁 Hope everyone is having a nice day! I’m hoping to go back and catch…

I hope you feel better soon, @Bex953172 ! I’m over 2 weeks now with this crud. Finally went to doctor today and they gave me antibiotics for sinus infection that I now have on top of the crud! Ugh. 😷🤧🤒😮‍💨🤢

Good morning! Happy Monday! My husband and I are just getting over Covid. 3 weeks of sitting and sleeping and coughing and feeling like *kitten*! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Time to get back to work on healthy habits! Just for Today: * Make my 24 h plan * Make weekly plan * October monthly plan * Assess last month & week’s progress * Grocery…

I totally understand having the adult children and feeling unsettled by stuff going on in their lives. I struggle between wanting to know and wanting to help and not wanting to know anything except the happy things! I tend to go down the rabbit hole of wanting to control and fix everything and it brings a boatload of…

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. I'm not feeling great today, so lying low today. My only real goals are to drink all the water and go to bed on time, but I want to keep accountability going so here I am. @Snowflake1968 I am SO sorry. Gentle hugs to you and your family, my friend. :heart: @pamperedlinny When you…

Happy Hump Day everyone! Today, I will focus on drinking 64 oz. of water before 7 PM. I don't know why I struggle to drink enough water. I tell myself that I don't like the taste, but water doesn't really HAVE a taste, so that's just an excuse. Just for Today (Wednesday 8/9) * Make 24H Plan and Assess yesterday's * Drink…
