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. I didn't sleep that well last night, weirdly warm and stormy and humid here plus I was so far off the rails with my food that I was super uncomfortable all night. And I discovered that the 3 night shirts I wear are all in the laundry so managed last night with just a T shirt but not very comfortable or familiar. I already started a laundry this morning, didn't realize how far behind I got!
I have a hair appointment at 11:15 and will either go out to breakfast with DN or to the gym. The gym would be a far better idea, plus I want to eat breakfast really late this morning so I can eat lunch late because I'm going to ex DH's for the Seder tonight and I'm sure we won't get to eat until late. And I don't want a repeat of yesterday/last night...
I just don't know what to do with myself and my craziness. I don't seem to be able to fix this, either by myself or with the help I've found so far. I'm going to be 68 shortly so I'd say the prognosis on changing decades of behavior is not good. I really like how I look now and don't want to regain these last almost 20 lbs that I took off so I need to turn this baby around. Again. Sigh. I'm going to try to find my sense of humor and perspective today.
Lora, OMG I have so much sympathy for back pain!!! What started mine was reaching down to pick up a little plastic toy ball when I was at DS's house. I so hope you're feeling better today. I tried a muscle relaxer once because the ibuprofen and naproxen did squat for the pain. It knocked me out for almost 24 hours and aside from being able to sleep, I'm not sure what it did for me. Hope you find something that works. I know the heat felt really good. Sounds like you will have a quiet weekend at home - hope you're able to do the cooking you've planned. Glad the Easter dinner issue is resolved.
I will bbl. Have a great Saturday everyone.

Hi Everyone,
Last night was nice with the seder. The new lady that came recently moved here from I believe Los Angeles. She has a background in teaching music and had some interesting experiences with working with some celebrities such as Juliette Anderson and some others.
Yesterday felt like I was jinxed in a way. After the tv not working then later on I decided to print out the pictures for the portfolio and discovered I didnt take the camera with me. I had initially put it my bookbag but must have taken it out again and I must have put it back in the closet. I certainly hope that I did. I know I came straight home after work so its not like someone opened my trunk and took it. It just meant I couldnt do what I planned to do without the camera. Then I decided to open my laptop to just check something and that wasnt coming on. Well, I decided to put it where I normally plug it in and it came on so I guess that particular plug outlet wasnt working. So that was how my day felt like with not feeling like I got anything accomplished. The ironic thing is that sometime after I went to bed on Thursday night my friend sent one of those chain type messages which I ignore that said if you didnt send back so maybe I was jinxed for real this time although I did send it back just to her. The tv was old and my forgetting was a human error of course but it just felt like I was.
Once I get dressed I plan to go to the library and try to work a bit on a part of the portfolio that I can. I dont really know how much I can really get done in an hour at the library. My friend and I planned to work on it together tommorow but just not sure how much I can do there either with not having been able to see which pictures I have and not printing them out. Oh well.. it turns out I wont have extended care on Monday so I will be able to work on it at work. After going to the library I said I'd shop for my friend. I need a few things. I probably wont keep Passover at work except for Monday since I can bring my owm lunch. It would be hard the other days when the kids are there because I wouldnt be able to prepare or eat anything until my break which is sometimes not much of a break at all.
Lora, I hope that your back is feeling better today. And if is, please express mail some of those country ribs to me? Lol!
Have a great day!!

Good morning everyone and let me just say....Brrrrrrr!
We slept later than normal and when I climbed out from under the covers squealed, "Cripes it's cold!" It was down to 52 inside the house (again, I shut the heat off awhile back). Outside is 40 degrees, feels like 36. Just heard through my phone weather app that the town 15 miles north of here (where we go to Home Depot) has a few snow flurries. haha! This has been the craziest winter and spring EVER!
Anyway, my back is still quite sore, but MUCH improved from yesterday. Not as good as the day before when it was just sore from mowing though. I was able to walk and make coffee without pain though this morning. Last night I couldn't lift my hand/arm high enough to get the mug out of the cabinet without my back muscles having that grabbing/seizing pain. This morning I was cautious and nervous but it was ok. Just normal soreness pain and none of the seizing pain. So I guess that's progress.
Right now I'm chilling in my chair with a pillow and heating pad behind me while I enjoy my coffee and visit with you girls. Later will be the grocery run. I think I'll be fine for that as long as DH does all the lifting and I'm careful not to twist. Walking doesn't seem to bother me. Other than that there are no real plans for the day since it's wet and rainy here. I'll probably go ahead and make the deviled eggs for tomorrow as they're one of those foods that's always better the next day. I'm also providing a dessert, so if I can I'll probably go ahead and make that too.
Andi- oh goodness! I'm so sorry for your bumpy day yesterday. Do you know what triggered it? There's that old saying that's comes to mind, "Just because you chipped one saucer, doesn't mean you need to break every plate in the cupboard." So take today to relax your mind, enjoy your trip to the hair salon and any other self-care that appeals to you, and get yourself back on track. You've got this!!
Janet - Oh gosh, it does sound like you had a bad day yesterday. I hope you find your camera. I NEVER respond to those crazy "if you don't forward this" kind of emails. They always feel like bullying to me. I just refuse to play their silly game. In fact, there have been times when I've actually asked those people to stop sending those to me, I used to tell them that it was a waste of their time because my In Box is where chain emails go to die. Haha!
Okay - I hope you girls have a good day and enjoy whichever activities you have planned or decide to get yourself into. I'm sure I'll pop back in later.

Good morning, it was a little bumpy with the traveling, but once we got here things were great. DD and I got mani-pedis while DH rested in the hotel, then we went out for delicious dinner. We slept in and also slept really well. After I catch up here, I am going to the gym and then we are going out to lunch with DD, her BF and his parents (meeting them for the first time). Then we will go back to her place for awhile and then back here to the hotel and have dinner here tonight. Can I just tell you how wonderful it is to be here sitting in this king size bed typing away with no place to run and no crazy schedule...
Sounds like all my RO friends are having a terrible time - Andi with food, Lora with her back, Janet with her camera..... Glad I can tell Jana YIPPEE with that great loss.
Somewhat difficult typing on my iPad (but bette than my phone) so I will cut this short. Thinking of you all...and waving to Amanda and Robin too
