This is strange. This thread for last week shows as the latest one until you actually open up the S&S group of posts. Seems like MFP has lots of hiccups lately.

Kelly, you've been hit with a lot this year with the kids health issues and other concerns, your Mom's and MIL's health, buying the cabin, your own eye issues, etc. No wonder you feel off the beam. All we can do is try to get back up there. I'm not sure how my radiation treatment will affect my ability to be active for…

Happy Friday, all. And yes, Kelly, Teddy is the kitty that is losing weight. The vet called yesterday and said that since his thyroid levels are fine and his blood sugar levels are fine, we have to consider a cancer, which of course, is worrying me. He is truly part of my heart. I called the vet this morning and they're…

Sheesh, I'd gladly share the soup recipe, but I don't use a recipe. I just fly by the seat of my pants. When I get a few minutes, I'll think myself through a batch and try to come up with a reasonable guide. I'm sure that you and I both use "cooking intuition" after all these years of cooking. And I'm glad that your tests…

Goodness. I posted earlier, actually saw the post, but came back, and it's nowhere to be found!! I logged on to let you know that I heard from the surgeon's office late yesterday. The results were not as good as I hoped, but not as bad as they could be. I have what is known as an encapsalated papillary cancer state zero.…

Lois, I'm glad your toe procedure is over. And yes, shots in a toe are something else. :# Years ago, when I was still running for exercise, I had a toe bothering me and a podiatrist put a shot of cortisone or something in the toe joint. I told him I didn't need any numbing ahead of the shot (how dumb is that?), and I did…

First, a big birthday hug to Kelly. <3 I hope you have a wonderful day, and I'm sure your family and friends will make sure that you do. Lois, I thought that I have the dustiest house in the world! LOL I can dust one day and write my name on things the next. Wish we didn't have to do it every now and then, but cleaning…

Got up today with a little more soreness than yesterday, but my friend who has been through this told me to expect that. Apparently the soreness will increase over the first few days and then start getting less. I walked for a half hour at a snail's pace on the TM last night and did fine. It felt so odd to be walking that…

Hello, all. Well the surgery went fine and I was home by 11:30 a.m. So I was at the hospital 5 hours, including some time beforehand when I was waiting, then prep, the operation, and recovery. I actually woke up feeling pretty good. The meds are wearing off now, so I'm little uncomfortable, but not enough to take one of…

Happy Monday back at your Lois, and thanks for the prayers. I'll take all I can get. I'm actually beginning to feel a little low-level anxiety. I guess that's normal. Tomorrow morning I go to class and then down to the hospital for blood tests and an EKG. I feel your pain with weather making it hard to walk. I can't walk…

First, happy, happy birthday, Sheesh. I know your friends and family will make sure this is a delightful day for you. <3 And Lois, oh my gosh! So much going on for you, but I'm proud of you for recognizing that among the trying things of life, there are still enjoyable times. I try to remember that myself when it feels…

LW: 127.8 TW: 129.4 Hi, all. Oddly, as I typed my weight, I didn't feel the least bit disappointed. There was something just "off" about last week's weight. Now that I think about it, I am actually relieved to be below 130 today. This past week, my swing has been more dramatic in a not good way, and I was up to 131 point…
-
As I expected, my weight on weigh-in day would not persist, and in fact, I bounced right up 130 point something within a couple of days. It was 130.2 this morning. I have to keep reminding myself that my weight bounces around based sometimes on how much salt or sugar I've consumed, and sometimes for no reason at all that I…

Hi, all. Although I appreciate the "atta girls," when I weighed this morning as I usually do, the scale was back up to 129.4. I expected that even though it was nice to see that lower number for one day. Kelly, I'm glad to hear that things are moving in a good direction with your son and that some help is available with…

Reading back, I just realized that it's Shawn's Mom. Sorry that I referred to her as your Mom, Kelly, but I know that no matter which side of the family, it's still really rough and I hope that things are going better today.
-
Oh my goodness, Kelly. I can't believe something else has been added to your plate. And I so wish I lived where I could come over and give you hand, or bring over dinner, or just do something to lighten the load. I am so glad you can get to the cabin to rest, read, walk with the dog, etc. You so need it. And I know you're…

LW: 129.8 TW: 129.4 Hi, all. Sorry to be late logging in late today. I had a derm appointment this morning, and then hubby and I drove up to Frederick to take my rings to be resized and do some shopping up there where the crowds are less intense and the people are a little friendlier. Got home and got a message from a…
-
And Kelly, I forgot to say "good for you" for your walking and jogging plan. I can't imagine being disciplined enough to do that before 5 am!!

As I read posts just now, I realized how life happens to everyone, and I'm grateful that most of what we are all dealing with now are not super huge, life changing things. Of course, with the exception of Ella's knee, which is changing her life for a season. But it's great that she has such a good attitude and perhaps…
-
LW: 128.4 TW: 130.6 So this trip and change of lifestyle did cause a considerable move in the wrong direction! Honestly, I think it was more diet than lack of movement. Although it was a little tough to do, I did manage to walk most days. In the hotel, there was a treadmill and at my sister's, I took advantage of a nice…
-
LW: 129.2 TW: 128.4 Hi, all. I did weigh on Wednesday morning before we left but did not have a chance to post. Hubby packed my laptop too fast. The diverticulitis did kick up so I've had to change my diet and take the meds. Who knows what I will weigh this week. We will be getting home Wednesday afternoon, so this week I…

It never ends. Now I'm having some tenderness in my low belly on the left side--just where I had discomfort when I had diverticulitis in September 2021. It may be nothing since it's not really pain, but just to be safe, I called my doc to get the two medicines she gave me back then (cipro and metronidazole) along with…

Wow. Look at those fish! Lots of good dinners to come. Hi, all. Thought I'd check in today in case I don't make it online tomorrow. We are leaving for NC mid-morning tomorrow. My weight today was low, i.e., 128.0, but that's probably a temporary dip because I really didn't eat much yesterday. Just didn't feel like it.…
-
Hey, Kelly. Glad the shoulder is improving. And about eyes, this time, mine got better as the day went on. I suspect there's an allergic component to mine, too. I almost said "because it tends to happen late summer or early fall." But then you mentioned elidel cream, and I remembered that I, too, was prescribed that, but…
-
Lois, I'm still ignoring some cosmetic things that haven't been fixed after our pipes debacle. Sometimes it's best to wait until you'll sure everything is going to stay as is. And I'm glad the PT is going well. Kelly, I thought I'd let you know that I woke up with one eye swollen this morning. Seems like I've had this…
-
LW: 129.4 TW: 129.2 Sort of keeping steady, but I'm okay with that. :) I am actually surprised that I was still in the 129's this morning because we had pizza for dinner last night, and that usually pushes me up a pound or two for at least a day because of the salt and carbs. But we were tired last night, and hubby really…

Happy Friday, everyone. Sheesh, the remnants of Hurricane Debbie rolled through here yesterday, so the baseball game was delayed twice due to rain. Then our guys fell apart in the 10th inning. Yep, tied at the end of that soggy day with two rain delays, and then we lost in an extra inning! But it does help to know that at…
-
Happy Monday all! Sheesh, we do play the Giants this week, and lord knows, with our young rebuilding team, they will probably squash us! But we're still loving watching these youngsters. Our day will come again. :smile: I'm finally able to move a bit more comfortably and so I'm going to enjoy my time between now and…
-
Same here. For several days, I have had to manually enter exercise to get have any "calories burned" showing in my food diary. It is becoming very discouraging.
-
What a treat to log in and see posts from all three of you! Kelly, thank you for sharing about the kids' mom. It does help somehow to know that someone else has dealt with the same thing. I will listen carefully to what the surgeon recommends. And I'm glad to hear that you're taking time to enjoy the lake and not get…
