This thread is for anyone that has been away from healthy eating, had a gain and is recommitting. We accept all forms of healthy eating here, whatever that means to you. We touch base daily for accountability and to encourage one another. This is a judgment free zone.
We all struggle to get the weight off and keep it off. Sometimes this is a challenge, but we never give up and that is the key. Regardless of our situation or where we are in reaching our goal, we count on talking to each other every day and are blessed to have one another as friends.
Our motto is persistence, not perfection.

Good morning, ROs. Thinking of Lora today and hoping all goes well at the closing and we can have a real celebration, or at least a cyber celebration, here tomorrow.
Don't have much to say after my long post last night but wanted to start us off. I've already been to personal training and meditated, eating breakfast now. Headed to the DMV shortly and unless it takes a long time, I'll head down to our main office for the rest of the day. No plans tonight - I had already told DS I wouldn't be coming tonight and he and DDIL made plans to go out so it's all good.
So happy it's almost the weekend! And even better that I have no special plans except a concert tomorrow night, yoga Sunday morning, and in between some food shopping.
Have a great Friday all.

Good morning everyone.
Lora thinking of you today! I hope everything goes well with your closing!
It appears as if DH will be getting a job offer. Right now it looks like he is just waiting to see what the $ looks like. He likes the people at the company and he likes the project manager work. This is a bit of a smaller company than he works for now, so they do not offer many benefits - no health insurance and no matching 401K. He will only get 2 weeks of vacation. Right now he has a company car and company cell phone. They will give him a phone but not a car. Supposedly they make up for the lack of benefits by offering a larger salary - we shall see. They are working on a package/offer now and told DH he would have it in a few days. Not sure what that means...........
Not a lot on the agenda for the weekend - grocery shopping, some car maintenance. I would love to plant some flowers but not 100% sure about that. I need to go find some that I like.
Waving to all. |

Hello Everyone,
I am home from the colonoscopy. Feeling ok. The stuff always makes me sick a bit tho. The doctor said he removed three small polyps so I need to go back in three years. Ugh. I need a pill,no liquid stuff I told him. Susie, didnt you say you didnt have to drink special stuff?
Lora, hope everything going smoothly with the closing.
Today is nasty damp and rainy so get to spend another day with Cassie sweetie devil. Lol! Too funny so I cant get mad with her for the most part. When I come in from bringing back my laundry from downstairs she runs out in the hallway and lays down on floor. I try to block her by pushing my basket or my foot but she still manages to get out. She still jumps on the counter but there is no food of hers anymore. The rubberbands seem to be working well from keeping her out of the cabinets.
Have a great day!

Jana, that is going to be a tough decision for your DH, if he has to give up assorted benefits, he will need number crunching to figure out what that will mean. Do you get health insurance through your company so you can add him?
Andi, thanks for starting. I am also wishing Lora a great closing. I know it will be a load off their minds not to have the 2 houses.
Janet, I was the one who talked about the other kind of prep. You mix a whole bottle of Miralax with 1/2 gallon of Gatorade, and drink that within a 1 hour period maybe? Don't remember the exact instructions, and you also take 2 of the pills that are like Correctol. Sorry you had the polyps.
Still having dreary weather here, not really raining, but a strong enough mist that my coat was wet when I came in from walking the dog.

Hi ROs...yep...fingers crossed for Lora !!
Went to my regular gym class this morning...took it easy and tried not to do much with my left hand. Then went to a WWII lecture and then went BACK to the gym with DH and rode the bike and read my book while he worked with a personal trainer in the pool. Believe it or not, I am in my jammies now and relaxing until we go to our clubhouse for a HH later.
Andi - glad you are taking an evening off from the trip to DS's house AND a more relaxing weekend.
Jana - lots of excitement - hope DH is offered a fabulous package.
Janet and Robin - the first time I had a colonoscopy... I was supposed to drink a gallon of what tasted like salt water...nothing made it better...now that was about 15 years ago.. I could NOT drink it all...then I got a migraine on top of it... I was a mess... I told the Dr the next morning and thought if they can't do it, they can't do it. I swore I would never do that again. I had heard of easier methods (and I got one of them the next time). I was surprised though when you said you drank orange jello...I was told NO red or orange. Anyway, glad it is done...sorry about the polyps, but at least they got them!

Hi again,
Rested some, worked on some observations, and completed part of some online trainings, and made a phone call to my health insurance company for an updated plastic card. I printed out a paper card about two weeks ago but I'd rather have a plastic card. I wouldnt normally have time to do that at work.
My directions said no red or purple coloring in the foods.
I still dont know if I really want to go up to camp tommorow. I did find the phone number of the other lady who is a friend of mine. I might just say I dont feel so well from the colonoscopy. Its not like I really do anything but talk anyway and being that the person I was going up there to see wont be there what is the point?
Lora,hope everything went great. Yeah for only one mortgage!
Jana, I hope that whatever they offer your husband will be a great offer moneywise if he isnt getting the other benefits. If he does take it, I hope you can put him on your plan otherwise it maybe hard to get health insurance for a reasonable price unless he is the age he can get medicare.
Have a great night!
