Coworkers are at Buffalo Wild Wings tonight watching basketball and getting $h!t faced. Again, I stayed in the hotel tonight. I Door Dashed dinner, but it wasn’t healthy. I had a craving and gave into it. The first day of our review went well. Tomorrow is day two/last day. Then, I’ll be scrambling to revise our…

Exhausted! 2am wake up in Eastern time zone. Currently, 8pm Central time zone. I had my breakfast foods doordashed. I think I’ll avoid lunches. Ordered a Chipotle bowl for dinner, but ate less than half. My coworkers are down at the hotel restaurant and bar already drinking. When they asked me if I would join them, I just…

Good morning all! About to head to the airport. Congrats, @WestCoastGirl_1, on your November stats! Only 4 A days! Wow! As of yesterday, I’m at 120 total. I don’t know if I’ll go AF for all of December, but we’ll see.

@globalhiker it’s a typo… I meant to say 4 months/120 days.

Tomorrow I leave for the week, and I think I’m ready. I’ll be working from the airport and on the plane as much as possible because once we land and get to the office I won’t have the chance to work on what I need to do. I am a little nervous about this trip because of the drinking at dinner or after work; but I’m going to…

BFF’s family is still here. Today, we lounged and played games with the kids. It was a lot of fun, a lot of laughs, and not a drop of alcohol in sight. We have had a slight problem though. The husband brought in some wood in preparation to start a fire, and we ended up with termites all over our living room! Fortunately,…

Yesterday was a good day. Everything turned out delicious and there are plenty of leftovers for the week while I’m in Houston. In full transparency… The alcohol was flowing yesterday, and I did have a tiny sip of a mixed drink my BFF made herself because she said it tasted like Christmas. But, I did not have a drink. It…

Hello everyone! Spent today preparing for tomorrow. I have a few items that have to be cooked same day, but everything else is just waiting for its turn in the oven tomorrow. We will have a total of 13 to feed, but I probably cooked for 40 like I always do. 🤣🤣 I wore my sneakers, and I can already tell that my feet, knees,…

Today and tomorrow are review presentation dry runs. Then, off for Thanksgiving. Then, traveling next week. The husband is pulling some real winner moves lately.🙄 He admitted to being an *kitten* and apologized, but he’s not necessarily doing any better. Been working on my afghan. I think I figured out what I’m going to do…

@Bemybestby60 thoughts and prayers for you and your father.

I did not go for a walk or clean today. I decided to do abso-f’ing-lutely NOTHING. I cooked breakfast and dinner because I wanted them, but that was it. I’m about to head to bed. A-0 AF-22

Finally got the stupid review slides done! Oh my goodness what an exercise in torture. I weighed in this morning and had a loss! YAY!! I’m less than 1.5 lbs to my November goal of making it into the 170s again. Praying water retention stays at bay. This weekend will be filled with walking, some light cleaning, and some…

I was seriously about to lose it this past week with this crazy flux in my weight. I…

@Womona “Adventures with MIL” sounds like a warning to me! That woman drives me bonkers. I’ve promised God instead of thinking mean thoughts about her when she walks in the room I will pray a Hail Mary. God forgive me, but I don’t think I ever stop praying! I thought she needed the oxygen too, but apparently she’s trying…

@WestCoastGirl_1 ok, a moment of weakness. It happens to all of us. It’s done. Shake it off, and build a 19 day streak! Maybe your version of moderation for now is only having a pint after you’ve increased your last streak by 1 day. Just don’t get stuck in that pint today! The dog is fine… just wanted attention. @itladyee…

My fingers swelled back up after dinner tonight after they had gone down enough to put on my wedding ring. So maybe I just can’t eat anymore.🙄 We went to a social at our church tonight, and the guest speaker was the county sheriff. The oldest boy child is one of his investigators. It was good to hear him speak. I am tired…

Beyond pissed with my body! Weighed in with a small gain on Friday. Food log, walked, cleaned, etc. weighed in again today and up another two damn pounds!!!! How!? 😡😡😡😡 Determined I will fast today and tomorrow only eating a very light dinner each night to see if that makes a difference Friday morning. Already noticing the…

@itladyee I’m so sorry they did that to you and your sister! That’s *kitten*!!! @globalhiker what is Cholesterol Pro (Citrus Bergamot)? Do you know if it’s safe to take if you’re already taking a statin? My cholesterol is perpetually high, even when I was at my goal weight and running 6 miles a day. @Walela617 and…

@Womona I get this! I am nervous about my trip to HQ in a couple weeks because the drinks flow so easily with my coworkers, and I don’t want to get caught up in it and lose all my forward momentum with my AF streak and weight-loss. Im going to have to be incredibly disciplined, and I’m not sure I can pull it off especially…

Thanks @nbruns83! I’m very happy to report I won’t have to take the day off to purge the girl child’s room. As of this evening, she has gotten everything done! We even took the time to hang her wood art (some carvings she made on the machine in digital art class… I think they were learning to use a laser engraver or…

@itladyee we didn’t do the “family bed” thing either. We kind of co-slept when I was nursing the babies. They started in their cribs, woke up for feeding, the husband would get up to change the diapers and hand them off to me, I would nurse until we both fell asleep. Lol… so kinda co-sleeping. They were in their own rooms…

@WestCoastGirl_1 This is my 4th teenager, 3rd with ADHD (1 on the Autism spectrum), and 2nd daughter. She is also the baby. I allow her more freedom to make decisions and negotiate than I did the others, for sure. But, I also have not changed my rules or chores that the children are supposed to do. She just tends to not…

A big ditto to @globalhiker’s congrats to all the positive news and fun things going on. I was a bit miffed this morning. I weighed in and was up 0.8 lbs. I know it’s not much, but it’s the up and down that’s driving me crazy. I can feel the water weight, too, which is not something I’m used to. My joints swell and feel…

Thanks @WestCoastGirl_1! I’m glad you knew where that’s from. It’s one of two tv series I can never get enough of. My son looks and behaves just like Sheldon, too, which makes me love it even more! If I’m being honest, @WestCoastGirl_1 and @globalhiker, I wanted to have a sip of that whiskey on Monday. But, (my big butt)…

Well, this review is killing me. I hate doing all this crap! Oh well, I guess this is what I get paid for. Finished the cross stitch last night, and tonight I made a little pillow for my new chair from an old t-shirt. I need to pick up my order from Michael’s so I can start the last cross stitch pattern in the book. And,…

You’re doing awesome, @WestCoastGirl_1! I’m tired. Going to be shortly. A-0 AF-11

@WestCoastGirl_1 you’ll be happy to know I was able to refrain! I have maintained my 100 day streak!
