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 friend & Happy Friday!
Planning a quiet day here. Mostly spending it on the laptop, knocking out some stupid "health modules" for Mark's health insurance to get us some more incentive monies. Deadline tomorrow. Grrrrrrrr! But...if we get them all completed, it's worth $1200.00, so that's nothing to sneeze at. Although I did tell him that next year he notifies me of all of this crap Day 1 that's it's available or he's just SOL.
We're waiting for the grocery shop until tomorrow morning. We have to get out to make a run to the recycle center to drop all of our glass, card board and such that we've been saving up. And that trip takes us right past WM, Publix and Aldi. So no sense in making that trip twice in 2 days and burning the gas unnecessarily. So...I'm just doing these stupid modules and binge watching my newly discovered detective series from BBC Canada on Hulu, that I've been enjoying this week.
Jana's update from about a half hour ago:
No real update this morning. Mom is hanging on. Her breathing is slow and she continues to sleep.

Good Morning Lora and ATF...the winery trip with my neighbors was really fun... I laughed so much (and DH got to enjoy the Abe Lincoln lecture while I was gone). I got home about 5:30 and was really hungry so we ran out to get a quick bite to eat. This morning I was up early and made it to my gym class - I bet I will be sore tomorrow after not getting there this week until today.
Today is DGS's 6th birthday and his party is a Uptown Alley (a rather new bowling place with games, two levels, etc) this evening so that should be fun.
Nothing else going on today except a run to the bank and grocery store.
Lora - oh man...nothing like Mark waiting til the last minute to let you know, but definitely worth the effort for the savings.
Thanks for keeping us up-to-date on Jana.

Good evening all. Had such a nice day off today, went to personal training and then picked up some freshly ground coffee at my local place - I got 2 lbs as a housewarming gift for my DF that I'm going to visit tomorrow and I got a 1/4 lb of a flavored decaf for me called Hawaiian Coconut. This could either be tasty or dreadful, may have a cup this evening to test it out. I got Colombian regular coffee for DF and a decaf blend, but nothing wild. Then I ran a bunch of errands, had lunch, hung out at home and then went to Kohl's with a DF's 30% coupon and got 2 pairs of sweat pants for $17, nice fleecy ones too. And then I cooked Kalua Pig in the Instant Pot but miscalculated how long it will take (90 minutes!) so had to make something else for dinner. Oh well. I had bought this meat months ago from one of those organic butchers and it weighs almost 6 lbs. Don't know how I'll ever get through it even with putting a lot of it in the freezer. I can't buy from those places because the packages are too big and they arrive frozen so you can't cut them. At least I now have room in my freezer again.
Lora, I got .99 cent avocados yesterday at the regular supermarket. Hope you score even better at Aldi. Is your weather finally cooling off some? Thanks for the update from Jana.
Susie, wow, DGS is 6??? I remember when he was born! I'm sure the party will be fun but chaotic and loud, right? Glad you had fun at the winery.
I'll be going to bed early tonight - yet another night of terrible sleep plus having to take Ambien. I got a little scared when I lay down to sleep (before taking the Ambien) because I felt kind of short of breath. I'm not feeling anxious but being short of breath made me anxious! It finally passed but I of course worried I was having a heart attack. I've been fine today. Have I mentioned that I hate getting old? Yep, I have.
Have a good evening all.

New update from Jana:
Hospice nurse told us today that she was surprised mom was still with us. Her body is showing signs of shutting down but her spirit is strong. We do everything every day to make sure she is comfortable. I talk to her every day and tell her how much I love her. She will go when she is ready.
