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 Lora and all to follow. I think we're posting at the same time. My trainer canceled my session this morning since she has a headache, so I was up early and unfortunately this is one day when the alarm woke me from a sound sleep. Of course. I'm feeling better this morning, still sad but not the overwhelming grief of yesterday. I've had my first cup of coffee and I even meditated with an app called Headspace that I got free for a month with my WW membership. I actually enjoyed it, felt very centering and relaxing.
I have a conference call at 8 I'll do from home but now I'd better go get ready and pack my lunch so I can leave when it's over. Have a great day all.

Good morning friends.
Well no sleeping in for me today, but not a 3am wake up either, so I guess I just need to be happy about that.
We spent yesterday evening putting together a 9 cube bookshelf/storage thingy that Mark ordered for his office - one of those where you can use the baskets in the cubes. It's made from particle board and laminated, you know the stuff. It's pretty heavy and about 5ftx5ft. It was a BEAR to get together. Thankfully all of the pieces and all of the hardware were included. In the past we've bought stuff like that and ended up with missing pieces or hardware and having to wait weeks with it spread out all over a room before the missing parts were sent and we got it all together. Anyway, I'm so glad we got it out of the way, it was a nightmare getting it all together.
We also finally got that big storm they've been talking about all week. Thunder, lightening, and heavy rain for at least 4 hours last night. It was still going when I fell asleep, so I'm not really sure how long it actually lasted.
Not much on the agenda today. I do need to make a quick run by my little local pharmacy to see if they have the over-the-counter fish oil supplement that I take. I'm not sure how I managed to run out, but I surely did.
Andi - I'm sorry to hear about your PR man. Such a sad and scary situation, of course it would be distressing for you. He's very young and healthy otherwise, so hopefully that will help with his recovery. Is there anyone else that can manage his staff in the interim? You already seem to have an awful lot on your plate.
RobinMD - I'll be sending my best thoughts and mojo for you and Cyrus for Sept. 19th. Also, let me just say that I think your neighbor is a complete nut job. If she was so distressed and traumatized by the incident, she wouldn't continue to walk right up against your property, right? Or at least if that were my situation, I wouldn't. So that's my official dx.....Complete Nut Job!
Okay, time for another coffee and then I need to do a couple of things around here. I hope everybody has a good Wednesday!

Andi - sorry for your trainer cancellation. How long will you be in Colorado? Maybe some time with the little ones and away from the stresses of work is actually just what you need to brighten your mood and give you a mental/emotional boost.

Hi Everyone,
Andi, sorry about your coworker's health and I hope that he will recover from this.
Today another long day it seems. I was worried this morning that my partner threw something out from a parent. I found it tho thank goodness. I really didnt want the parent to have redo it.
There are some other things that I need to find out where she put them as they were things that were there when I left and I dont see them.
I have a parent coming today to fill out paperwork for the new year so at least that will break the day up. The kids are being really loud today. I dont have them today but its annoying because even with my door being closed I can still hear them.
Thats really it. I am looking forward to the end of the day. Sigh!
Have a productive day!

Janet - I hope you locate all of the missing items for your class. It must be frustrating for someone else to set up your room, and then when you get back you can't find your stuff. I hope the kids settled some and were less loud for you.
Well, my run to the drug store was a big bust. They didn't have a single variety of fish oil that even came close to the one that I've been taking, without having to take about 8 capsules a day. I guess I'll either have to wait for grocery shopping day or make a special run into town to pick it up. DH ordered me a new laptop that should deliver this week. The one I'm currently using is just awful. The batter is totally shot and not replaceable, so I have to leave it plugged in all the time. Literally, the second it's unplugged it shuts down immediately. It also freezes up and I have to force a reboot several times a day. It's been getting worse every day, so I'll be excited to get the new one up and running.

Good Afternoon...DD and DGDs got back from their 2+ weeks out west last night after midnight, so I stopped over this morning to take a breakfast snack (since I knew they would have nothing in the house to eat)...fortunately, her cleaning ladies came yesterday so she was able to walk into a nice clean house. Anyway, we took her doggie for a walk, and then I went straight to the gym where DH was working on his aqua exercises...rode the bike for awhile, then got home and it was time to rush into the shower and head to mah jongg. Back home now and going to try to read for a bit before playing charades this evening.
Lora - glad you don't have to worry about car tags for another year. I haven't gone to the "Stitch Therapy" too often as it conflicts with tap dancing, but I think since "stitch" is only once a month that I will just skip tap on that day from now on. I bought a new crochet hook and I am going to try to make a prayer pocket square with a cross in the middle. So cool, that the soldiers in WWII used to carry these in their pockets. Anyway, as I parked the car and headed into the store to buy it, I saw a tree with various NICE rocks around it and I thought...wow, these look like they would be good rocks to paint...lol! Yippee for a new laptop!
Andi - so sorry for your dear colleague, the emotional day, and all the issues you are having to deal with at work. I never had any desire to be the boss...hang in there. Keep us apprised as to how he is doing. Glad you are feeling a little better this morning.
Janet - sorry about the things that are missing...sure hope you find them. Oh man, it has got to be tough heading back to work after your lovely break...sending positive vibes for a good year!

Hi ROs,
Andi, so sorry for what you and everyone are going through WITH your coworker.... some good news is that this condition is not too uncommon, and does have a pretty low mortality rate. The biggest risk is if it bleeds into the brain or spinal cord, so finding it before that happens is a good thing. It is generally something that one is born with. The treatment is always surgery and radiation will help shrink remaining blood vessels. I understand the devastating diagnosis feeling overwhelming, but there is a very good chance of a very good outcome. I have had several patients over the years that have had this. Hang in there...I agree that maybe the trip to Colorado will help you shake the down feelings that you have been feeling.
Lora, I totally agree with your diagnosis...I used the term "whack-biscuit"...HA! You're right though, I am trying to get a video of her walking by without a care in the world...there is NO way that she has any fear! That new computer is going to be awesome. You will be so happy with it. Have you tried looking on line for your fish oil? By the way, how do you like the sound of the rain on the roof? You said you fell asleep before it stopped, so I'm thinking it is soothing!
Janet, I feel aggravated FOR you! I would have a hard time with someone else taking things that aren't theirs and misplacing and/or throwing them away. Its not like you weren't coming back. I hope "gabby" isn't going to leave you hanging all the time. You may end up having to have a chat with her! Good luck, and I hope those kids quieted down.
Susie, I bet you were happy to see those kids again! I had to laugh at you seeing those rocks...I happened to see one the other day, and thought the same thing!
I had a much better day today, than on Monday. It was busy, but not stressful. Don't know why. The doc and I were trying to figure out today just what made it so horrible. No clear answer there! I am just going to a little Thai food that I brought home from a work lunch today, and probably read in bed until my eyes get heavy. I am down another pound, so that is good. I just wish it wasn't because I NEVER feel like eating anything. Getting my gut straightened out is a process, I guess. I'm hopeful. I hope everyone has a good evening, and I'll be back tomorrow. I'm waving to all that I am missing,
RobinMD

For any of you who may have heard about the police shooting in Philadelphia, just wanted to assure you I am fine. Although it wasnt that far from where I work it was still far enough that I wasnt affected.
