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 all. I went to sleep at 9:30 last night and made it until 3:30, but then was able to fall back asleep until after 5, so well rested person here for once. Just in time to enjoy the weekend. Nothing much planned today - food shopping and a concert tonight. Maybe a little meal prep if I feel motivated. Have to get to my fancy gym today to cancel. I still have PF and now paying for personal training so it's truly overkill. Turns out you don't get fit by having a lot of memberships...
Cold here this morning and supposedly we'll get a little snow before temps in the 40's this afternoon and sunshine. I ordered some magnifier sun glasses from Amazon which should be here tomorrow and I have the yellow tinted ones for night time glare. I should probably also get a pair for when it's not night and I also don't need sun glasses. More opportunities to lose things. At least they're all cheap at this point, no prescription needed. Failing the DMV eye test was a sobering moment.
Jana, hope the salary being offered to DH offsets all the perks he has in his current job, which are considerable. And only two weeks vacation??? That seems so meager. Hope it all works out.
Have a great Saturday, ROs. Welcome home Lora.

Good morning Andi and ATF,
Happy Saturday! Yesterday was a long day, starting at 4:30am when I got up. Anxious feelings, strange & vivid dreams, and frequent wake ups left me exhausted). Anyway, we were out of the house at 5:30, made it to DDs house in 4 hours flat - which is a personal best - so 10:30 Eastern time. Dropped Lily at her house and got her settled in. DD was as work, so while I was settling Lily, DH took her dog out for a potty break. By that time it was 11am so we went to get a bite of lunch at our favorite BBQ spot - which is conveniently located halfway between DDs house and the Lawyers office. We had a relaxing and quiet lunch and then got to the office. The buyers were a delightful couple. She was SO excited about the house. It seems she'd gotten her heart broken over a previous house when they when they got into a bidding war and lost out when the other bidders offered over the asking price. That seems to be happening more and more in that area recently. Anyway, she just kept going on about how much she loved the house and thanking us for all that we'd done as far as the mechanical updates....windows, HVAC, water heater, etc... Apparently that and the new deck are what sold her husband. Anyway, they have 2 boys, 17 and 8 who she said had already picked out rooms and were excited to be moving as well. All in all it was a great experience. We still remember when we bought that house and the husband seller was a total ASS to us. Apparently he was bitter or angry and had some regret over pricing it too low to start with. Ummmm....dude, that was your decision, and you didn't have to accept our offer. But whatever...(It was an outstanding bargain when we bought it back in 1998).
Anyway, when we finished up there we headed back to DDs to pick up the pup. She made a pot of coffee and sent us off with disposable travel cups and delicious caffeine...Lol. Love that kid! We had a little more traffic on the way back getting through ATL and it ended up being a longer trip home. But we made it fine, got here and had supper and went to bed early. I slept really good and I'm looking forward to the rest of the weekend. No solid plans at this point, so we'll just see where the weekend takes us.
Thanks for all the kind words. Yesterday was milestone day for us. It's kind of like we've been in limbo for a while, we can finally set aside all the worries and "what ifs" regarding the other house. It's a very good feeling.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! I'll check back later.

Hi Everyone,
Lora, glad that everything went so smoothly. Now you will be done with running back and forth and have time to yourself.
I am not going up to camp. I texted my friend's friend. I told her that my cat is sick which is true. She threw up again. I am trying to see if I can get an appointment with the vet. I left a message. Other than throwing up, she is eating, playing,etc. This time I will keep the appointment tho even if I have to wait until Wednesday. I cant take any more time off work due to no time left and an upcoming inspection at the school. I still may be able to later in the day tho. There have been days where I only have had only a bathroom break and I am supposed to have a half hour break so if necessary I will say that.
Have a great day!

Hi ROs...got up and went to WW (just to WI..was up a little, but still free). DS called to see if I wanted to go to the Southern Women's Show (just lots of vendors, etc). I went since I had nothing planned today until this evening and a free ticket- lol.
Lora - yippee --everything is done and you can RELAX (but knowing you...the next project is forming in your mind - ha).
Andi - yeah for the good night...had to laugh at your comment about not getting fit just because you have gym memberships - ha
Janet - glad you decided not to go to camp. Hope Cassie is OK
Alright..off to read or to call DD and see how she is doing since her DBF left for California this week.

I didnt get out until kind of late. Just did my usual errands. I wasnt able to get an appointment for Cassie until Wednesday night after work.
The friend of my friend asked me if I was available to help on another weekend but my friend isnt available that weekend so I finally told her that I mainly go up to camp to hang with my friend. I didnt want to really say that so much but it is the truth and rather than being evasive or beating around the bush I told her.
That is about it. Have a great night.
