Happy Friday! It’s chilly here and we have some rain moving in later. Partly sunny skies this morning though so I’m trying to enjoy it while it lasts. I find that blue skies and sunshine can really make or break my mood—seeing sunshine can be a real pick-me-up! I’m loving all the photos of flowers you’re posting. I can’t…

Joan, I think we have been hushing our emotions with food for so long that it’s just something we do on autopilot! I do the same thing—especially at night! At least you realized it and are realizing it didn’t make you feel any better! That’s a great step in the right direction. We are on a journey to better health, and I…

@Bex953172 Congrats on the size Medium! That’s awesome! 🥳👏🙌 @mytime6630 I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been sick for such a long time. And I’m very sorry to hear about your neighbor! That has to be incredibly difficult for her family also, coming out of the blue like that. We cannot predict the future, that’s for sure. But we…

Good morning! I hope everyone’s having a great weekend! @littleblackskirt Your meal sounds delicious! I’d be annoyed at the dog for eating the turkey too though! I had a black lab who stole a nice tenderloin steak off my plate when I turned my back once and I was SO pissed…. 🤯😬 @Bex953172 Your stories about your dog crack…

It’s a cool cloudy day in Wisconsin. Boo…. I’m definitely getting cabin fever. I just feel like getting my hands in the dirt, feeling the sunshine and planting flowers. Hopefully soon! Didn’t get much done yesterday, so the goal is to be a bit more productive today. 😊😬 I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!…

Went to the doctor yesterday. I’ve had pain in my right leg making it difficult to walk for the past few months. Doctor thinks it’s suspicious for SI joint or sacroiliac issue so I’ll be going to PT. I’m frustrated because I need to start walking and build my strength back up but my leg isn’t letting me. One day at a…

Good morning! I’ve been trying to get caught up reading past posts but then iit ends up too late to post my own goals, so I’m jumping on with a few goals for today, and I’ll catch up as I can. I can only read for a short period of time before I get a migraine-type aura since finishing chemo so it’s really cutting into…

#6 & #7 are SO TRUE!!!! Add getting and staying healthy in general (disease free) and those are my Why's! :) I haven't caught up reading posts yet, but I hope your husband's CT scan results were good. I didn't realize he has an aneurysm?! xxoo

Thank you!!!

@Bex953172 I missed your birthday!!! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! I hope it was a wonderful day!

Thank you!!! :smiley:

Thank you so much, Joan! I love you like a wonderful friend I've not met also. We've been through much through the years supporting each other on here. I know I'll be fighting this disease for the rest of my life now, but Lord willing that will be for many, many more years! Every morning, my Power Thought is "Today, I am…

Happy Saturday! I didn’t do so great with my food and water goals yesterday, but it’s ok. It’s going to take some time to bounce back. Every day is a brand new start. 😁 JFT, Saturday, March 16th* 64 oz water before 7:00 p.m. * Log food and close Food Diary at end of the day. * Close at least one activity ring on my watch *…

Thank you! It’s very encouraging for sure! I thought you might like to hear it…😁😉💞 Love you too, my friend! Have a great weekend!

I’m glad you’re going to see an Osteopath! This has been an issue for you for awhile! You will be happy you didn’t wait any longer when the weather gets nicer. :flowerforyou:

Good morning! Hoping you’re all having a great day! I’m still very fatigued so I’m keeping goals small to ease back into things. JFT, Friday, March 15th* 64 oz water before 7:00 p.m. * Level up to unprocessed whole food choices >80% of the day * Close at least one activity ring on my watch * Journal / prayer and devotional…

It's late to post goals here for today so I'll just give an update on the chemotherapy/cancer treatment for now and I'll hop on with goals tomorrow. On Monday, I had my first follow-up scans to see if the chemo & immunotherapy treatments have been working. On Tuesday morning, I saw the Oncologist for results prior to what…

Hi everyone! I just spent the past couple of days catching up. I was SO FAR behind! I had so many replies and comments typed up but deleted them when I realized how outdated they all were. I have a few things that I remember though... @Bex953172 HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO CASEY! I cannot believe it's been 6 years already!…

Joan! These are so awesome! The tshirt quilt is amazing...those are tough to get right. And the football blocks you mad...wow! So clever! I love these and so will your grandson! Nicely done! 😍💖💥

@cschmitz110515 Have a wonderful time at Jesus Christ Superstar! I would love to see that!

Oh my goodness! I have to go back to page 9 to catch up. I’m sorry, friends, for going MIA again. I’ve not been feeling well on chemo. And my port wasn’t working correcting for the infusions so I had to go in for a port exchange in my chest a few days after my last chemo so that knocked me down a little harder too.…

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…
