This thread is for anyone that has been away from WWs, had a gain, and is recommitting to the program. We touch base daily for accountability and to encourage one another. We love to use first names here, so tell us yours when you post.
We all struggle to get the weight off and keep it off. Sometimes it is harder to keep it off and even if we fail, we keep trying, which is the key. Regardless of our situation or where we are in reaching our goal, I count on talking to you guys each day and I am blessed to count you as friends! We welcome old and new friends, please come and join us.

Good Morning ROs...up and planning my day: gym soon for DH and myself, then maybe back for yoga? Maybe attending a lecture about a Civil War battle at the same place I take tap dancing and Spanish... quick stop at a grocery store, and trying to find some gift ideas for my DC and DGC.
I did not do as well eating yesterday, but then I had a party at Spanish class (oh yum, many made or bought special Spanish treats). I started to take a can of cashews upstairs to bed and DH warned against taking the entire can or it could have been much worse - ha!
Bracing ourselves for the cold temps that are supposed to arrive tonight and hoping there is no sleet or anything that could keep DH from getting to PT tomorrow!

Good morning Susie and ATF -
I keep thinking how great it will be that you've been in Spanish classes this whole time when you go visit DD!
I had a rough night y'all. Went home from work and planned to basically finish the last of my "Christmas tasks" - wrapping gifts and such AND loading the dishwasher and such... Well I got out some chicken that I bought Saturday (the kind where each chicken breast is individually wrapped) and was planning to bake a couple for dinner... opened a couple breasts and they just smelled off. I don't mess with off-smelling meat! So I threw it out which felt like such a waste - I was disappointed. Had some tuna instead... Then I was wrapping gifts and got a headache - it quickly turned into a migraine. I haven't had migraines often over the past 8 months but this was rough. I laid down after taking my prescription a little before 9. Didn't fall asleep right away or anything - kept hearing thuds above me.
Woke up feeling better - but in that post-migraine fog where I still have a little ache in the back of my head. Also weird about this migraine is that usually the pain is focused in the back right part of my head - this was back left. I guess I should be happy that both sides of my brain want to torment me! Hoping for a better day today!

Hi all RO's. DH had his shoulder surgery yesterday. He is fine, but today is in a lot of pain. His tear was much worse than they thought, so it was more extensive, and they had to remove scar tissue from older surgery and some bone spurs that are what caused the tear to begin with. I spoke to the nurse and they are trying to get pain killers that will work. I am thinking that one he gets home and has his ice machine that he bought for a previous surgery going, he will feel better, but maybe that's wishful thinking. I can't even compare this to what Susie's DH went through, but still not looking forward to it.

Amanda - over the years I think I have had every kind of migraine presentation possible. Sometimes mine are on one side, sometimes the other, sometimes I have numbness, sometimes not, etc. My DSister will occasionally call me if she thinks she is having migraine to ask if her symptoms sound normal. Sorry about the chicken... I know what you mean because I hate to waste food.
Robin - sure hope DH feels better soon - it will be easier on you and him if the pain meds and/or ice machine works!

Good evening everyone.
I am in a poor me mood - or I guess I am not really feeling pitiful - I am mad at myself. I have lost all motivation. I started the week with plans to go to the gym and did food prep etc. I have no energy. I have no will power. I let the smallest excuse stop me from eating healthy or exercising. I packed my gym bag Sunday night and put it in my car. Monday afternoon I had to run an errand by the mall - and then came straight home and put my gym bag on the couch where it is still sitting.
Last night I got home after working out to town and ended up working 2 hours more. We are working on budget stuff at work and this is the first year I have ever really had to deal with it. After working for 2 hours last night - I was tired and just didn't want to deal with dinner so we ordered pizza.
Tomorrow is a team meeting with MORE budget stuff and I will be driving 2 hours in each direction for the meeting and will probably end up working late again just to get everything done that I need to get done.
Susie I am hoping for no freezing rain tomorrow too - especially since my meeting is west because I will be driving into it. Also we are supposed to be going to NC on Saturday early in the morning and so I have my fingers crossed that there is not freezing rain on Saturday either.
Robin I hope your DH is not in to much pain when he gets home and hope he is able to manage it well.
Amanda sorry about the migraine but glad you are feeling better today.
Waving to everyone else.
Hopefully I can shake this laziness soon.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry Amanda, that you weren't feeling well. I once got this chicken from my work . I think I shouldn't have used it and thrown it out. It had an off smell. It had been frozen and never thawed out of the fridge. I used it. I didn't get sick but had doubts about it so I think it was good that you threw it out. You don't need food poisoning.
I didn't go to the gym tonight either. I had a dry night to make if and I had my bathing suit and stuff but I don't think I would have made it for the class anyway because I still had another 20 minutes to drive there and I didn't have my suit on. If I had time to put it on before leaving I might have tried but I had extended care this afternoon. Ugh. One more day. Friday the kids leave early at 12:00. We are having our holiday party. Oh well, it depends on this weekend. I heard something about snow but not sure how much. Which means probably my friend will postpone her event again if it means we have to walk in snow or possible ice. Ok, good night .
