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 and Happy Friday!
My laptop is acting wonky this morning (more wonky than usual...Lol). I'm going to reboot and get Lily going on her morning and I'll be back in a bit to do some catching up.
BBL

Hi Everyone,
I dont have a whole lot on agenda today. I just was loading on more money onto the card for my transportation. I called them because I thought that the balance should have been higher after loading it. The person said it had been in the negative which I didnt understand how but after calling a second time I think that I forgot about my trip the other day to the gym and back. I think next week I might get the weekly transpass again because you dont have to worry about each trip. I didnt think I was going to use it that much this week so didnt purchase the weekly pass. With the weekly you get up to 56 rides. It seems like it costs more to buy in one way because you purchase it in advance but if you load money onto the travel wallet I think it ends up costing the same if not more to make sure you have enough to cover each trip.
Later will go over to my sister's for dinner. Maybe I will walk over to Aldi's. I need cucumber and salad stuff and wont have to use the bus to get there. Not sure if I will swim today. Other than that nothing is new.
I hope that Lily will eat today again..
bbl.

Good morning everyone.
It looks like I might be alone in the office this morning, maybe all day. I like those days. I can get so much more work done when I do not have any distractions.
I got the 2nd coat of paint on the upper cabinets last night and it looks great. I am going to start working on the doors tonight and hope to put the 2nd coat of paint on them tomorrow. I am not sure when I will start working on the lower cabinets - I am not really looking forward to those because I will need to take everything out of them because I KNOW my dogs will want to get into the stuff in them. If everything goes well, maybe I will start on them on Sunday. I was originally going to paint the bottom dark gray but now I am pondering doing it all white. I don't know if I have enough paint to go all white but I could go buy more paint - LOL we shall see.
RobinMD I have not painted any walls at my house. We need to have some of our drywall repaired and since I am definitely NOT brave enough to tackle that, the walls will probably be left up to a professional to do.
We got a phone call last night from DH's niece. 8 or 9 years ago we took her to a Jimmy Buffet concert with us. We had a blast. She won 4 VIP tickets to the Jimmy Buffet concert for Saturday and wanted to return the favor and take us with her. We actually had some plans Saturday night but were able to reschedule them so we could go to the concert with her. We are really looking forward to going. I felt bad about rescheduling plans with my DF but I am looking forward to the concert.
My mood continues to be good and positive. I am really enjoying it.
Lora hope you have a great day and Lillie eats for you again and with gusto.
Weather looks like it is going to be rainy today - and I am ok with that. I will be inside so no big deal. Might be meeting a friend for coffee this afternoon, haven't decided yet.
Waving to everyone. |

I decided to give it a shot and contact my friend again. She responded today. I debated about whether to or not but I figured I had nothing to lose by trying. Either she would continue to not respond like she has or might respond. She says she has been depressed but couldnt really explain why she was. I hope that by getting back to work the following week will help distract her from thinking so much about why she is sad. I think I knoe one reason but dont want to mention make her dwell on it if that is the reason maybe. Being that she is one to not iniate contact I probably would not heard back from her even if I was holding my breath so probably would have had to wait until I go back. I had initially thought of doing something before we go back to work but I think I wont at this time. Maybe when she is feeling less depressed although I wonder if a distraction might help. I am not sure.

Hi again!
Lily got up great and cleaned her plate this morning, so Yay! I debated making the grocery run today and getting it out of the way, but decided to wait until tomorrow when DH will go with me. (Honestly, mostly because I'm lazy and don't want to carry a whole week's worth of stuff into the house by myself...Haha!)
Anyway, I heard from DXSIL and she said that she'd spoken with DBIL this week and so now he'll be at dinner Sunday night too. I'm so glad that even though they're divorced they can still talk and still do things like this. It's certainly not the norm in this day and age. Although I know that several of the ROs are on good terms with Ex's - and it's refreshing to know that grown-ups can actually act like grown-ups sometimes. haha
Susie - oh the take on the UFO lecture sounds so interesting. I'm fascinated by all aspects of "paranormal". I love documentaries that look into UFO/Extraterristrial subjects, hauntings & the spirit world, and even Bigfoot, Lol. I don't know how fully I believe in any of that, but I certainly find it interesting to entertain the idea that things like this could possibly exist. I've had a couple of unexplainable experiences in my life that would fall more into the "spirit world" catagory, and my mom definitely believed in the capability of communicating with those who have left their earthly body - from several experiences she had in her life.
Jana - I think the white or the gray on the bottom will be great. Either is such a sharp & clean look. Oh girl! That concert sounds like great fun! I know you'll have a blast!
Janet - depression is a funny thing. Sometimes no matter how much you might want to be able to reach out to someone, or how much you would just love to shake it off and feel better, you can't. Be patient with your friend and just let her know you're there for her. Enjoy your dinner at your sister's house.

Well, I said everything last night so no need to repeat...got to the gym and tripped over my own feet during class but caught myself quickly and was OK...the instructor said that is why we do all of this...to keep from falling...hope it doesn't happen again though. Off to the TEA ROOM now - yippee, then back to finish packing for the weekend.
Jana - how nice of DH's niece! Enjoy working on the cabinets...glad your mood continues to be better.
Janet - glad you called DF - at least you know what is going on...
Lora - Sunday dinner sounds like so much fun... I agree...if you can't live together, it is good if you can still get along!
OK...off and running.
