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 slept a couple of hours yesterday evening, went up to bed and slept until 6 this morning so for once I am feeling rested and full of energy. It helps that I had a good food day yesterday as well, trying WW Freestyle together with calorie counting on iTrackBites, which of course defeats the purpose of "Free" in Freestyle but I went crazy with that program without the accountability. Anyway, feeling good this morning.
Not much in the way of plans today, which makes me very happy. I invited DN for dinner tomorrow night before we go out to California Dreamin' so I suppose I should start thinking about what I want to make and buy whatever I'm missing. Maybe the gym today although it's gorgeous outside and if I'd had my act together I would have found a hike to do today. Oh well. There's a movie playing locally with Emma Thompson, can't remember the name of it, so might go to that as well.
Hope everyone is feeling well this morning and I wish you all a great day. I will bbl.

Hi Everyone!
Once as usual get dressed and moving I have errands to do. Today I am definitely planning to get over to the gym.
I got the settlement money for the car but for now I am putting it into one of my investment accounts and then plan to add my refund and save a bit more to make bigger downpayment. So it means it will be longer that I wont have my car but if it means possibly lower car payments or maybe none I think I will manage somehow. I know that I have done it before and at that point I had double what I have now as a settlement income.
I think it was Jana who asked about my new partner for the coming year. I dont really know yet what I feel about her. I know that she hasnt made much iniative to come talk to me when she could have. I asked her for her input on a list of supplies and she came upstairs with two other staff members ( one the former non partner from this past year and another coworker. In a way I wished I had just gone ahead and kept the list the way it was but I was trying to include her. The end result tho is that we will get more supplies than I ordered so not necesarily a bad outcome but I didnt really like her bringing up the other staff members. It was between the two of us to decide.
There still may be possible changes so I will wait and see.
Last night I decided to walk home from my sisters'place as it was a really nice temperature. It wasnt quite as far as the walk I did the the other day. If I go to gym I may end up doing the long walk again but maybe not.
I made my appointment with the cardiologist during the weeks I am off. For those who may have missed it as I wrote it later Thursday night, my doctor said she heard a murmer when she was listening to my heart. She said it might not be anything to be concerned about but she'd rather me get it checked than not do anything about it. I will probably have an ultrasound but that doctor will order it I guess although I dont know why she didnt order it herself.
Have a great day!

Good morning.
Susie all I can figure is because I was actually tracking my food I wasn't eating as much as I have been without tracking.
Waiting on DH so we can join DFs for breakfast this morning. Lora I'll let you know how my order goes this morning.
Andi so glad you feel rested. Enjoy your day today.

Happy Saturday, ROs,
I have lots planned, to get done today, so we will see what I actually manage to achieve! It is a gorgeous day outside, and most of my plans involve being out there, so that will be good.
Andi, glad you are rested. What a difference that can make, in everything we do in the day.
Jana, I hope you are feeling a little less "funky" today! Enjoy the breakfast. I love eating breakfast out!
Janet, I think you are very wise for setting that money aside. Especially if you are able to use other transportation during the better weather months. I sure hope things are going to work out with that new partner.
Well, I am going to quit before I lose this post. I will be back later. I sure hope everyone is enjoying their day!
RobinMD

Good Morning ROs... My goal for today is to drink my water and eat only until satisfied (no overeating). Not sure what to get into, but I think I will walk to the grocery store at some point, AND we have an activity at the clubhouse this evening. Since DS and family are out of town, we will skip church tonight and perhaps go tomorrow instead.
Andi - yeah for being well rested and full of energy!
Janet - oh you will be soooo happy if you end up having no car payments at all! Glad you made the apt with the cardiologist...I think many people have heart murmurs that they have had for years and didn't even realize...most are not serious, but good to get it checked
Jana - I too love breakfast out...sometimes when we go places for lunch, I get breakfast items if the restaurant offers them.
Robinmd - It is beautiful outside here too, so I think I will sit out back for a bit and read. Sounds like you have a busy day...hope you get everything accomplished outside!
Lora - funny not seeing you here yet...maybe you took a walk and are busy getting a goat out of the fence - lol!!!!!

Susie, I'm laughing about your comment to Lora. Lora, I also wonder if goat rescues were part of the game plan today, hahaha. Susie, I also love breakfast anytime of the day, especially for dinner.
Janet, I'm so glad you can manage with public transportation for awhile, plus some additional walking. Probably good for your health as well unless it gets too hot. Also, hope all is well when you see the cardiologist. Susie's right, most of those heart murmurs aren't a problem so I hope that will be the case for you. Good to check on it though.
RobinMD, what do you have planned outdoors today? Yard chores? How's the pool? I'm in agreement that our next get-together should be poolside if you will have us.
Jana, have fun at breakfast. What order this morning are you referring to?
I'm back from the gym and got my 6000 steps in. Had lunch, now going to head for the sofa again and maybe a snooze. DN and I are definitely going to the movie tonight.

Hi again,
I am done for today. Due to the bus schedules being so far apart I didnt feel like waiting all that time did a walk to the gym which is a bit past where my doctors' office is, stopped at the Giant food market in the same area, walked back across the 6 lane boulevard ,caught the bus for a very quick stop at the bank for change, recrossed the boukevard to go to the dollar tree and to drop off a library book. Stopped to get a iced coffee at DD and to use their facilties. I had missed the prior bus and I still had some time to wait. While I was waiting a friend from my club activities drove by and saw me and gave me a lift home. Yeah for friends!! I sound a bit like Susie. Lol!
The rest of my afternoon I want to start reading a book I got from the library a few weeks ago and just preparing to send the settlement money to my investment company. This is not my retirement plan tho as I know I cant really withdraw from that. Technically, age wise I could, but I am not touching that.
As far as the heart murmur goes, I see my doctor about 3 times per year so I know that if she had heard it before she would have said something before. She doesnt rush appointments despite how the people who run these types of corporate practices would like to see them be run. That is why even tho there are certain things I dont like about this practice I still like her and have that relationship since college. I know it will end but for now I will continue to see her.

Hi everyone!
Sorry I'm just getting here, it's been a busy day. We slept a little bit late and then made a run out to the dam to walk and find some rocks for painting. By the time we got home we were starving so I just made cheese omelets that we ate as kind of a brunch...it was around 11:30. After that we were going to get the yard knocked out and of course, it started raining. It only lasted for a few minutes, so as soon as the clouds cleared we got started. I used the rider while Mark used the push mower and weed eater. It kept looking rain was about to bust out again any minute so we were going as fast as we could to try to get it done. We finally finished and were hot, sweaty and tired. Anyway we came in and cooled down and got cleaned up and decide to make the trek into Huntsville and eat at Jim-N-Nicks BBQ (Jana, Susie & Andi, you know that place). Mark called his parents and asked if they'd like to meet us since we missed Father's Day being here with the roofers last week. We had a good dinner and visit with them. So then as we were about to head back home the sky got crazy looking. Very dramatic clouds! I posted a few pics on FB. Anyway about half way home it finally started raining. Boy was it coming down. It finally stopped as we turned to head up the mountain, and then the bottom fell out again just as we were pulling into the driveway. All is quiet now. It's been a good day, but I'm so happy that we finally got the yard handled. It's really been bothering me that it's been looking so terrible.
Anyway, I hope everybody had a good day. I'll try to be a better RO and check in with personals tomorrow. Have a good sleep everyone.
