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 friends!
Grey and gloomy day here, but not really cold. It's currently 68 outside. I currently have no hard and fast plans other than coffee, and a few light household chores. Maybe I'll watch a movie today. Who knows...
Susie - thanks for starting us off this morning. Enjoy your return to tap! I guess your knee is feeling better?
Jana - Girl! You are a ROCK! You are strong and please have faith that you're making all of the right decisions. You know what your mom would have wanted. I was in kind of the same situation when my mom passed. My dad just basically said, "You decide, I can't." I questioned myself as well, but then thought screw it! All I can do is what I believe she would have wanted. If there were no formally spelled out wishes, then just know that what you're doing is the absolute right thing. You can't carry around the burden of questioning your decisions on top of everything else. All that being said, please find a few minutes out of each day for a little self care - whatever that means to you. While taking care of everybody else, you have to take care of yourself as well. Love you!
Janet - I hope today is a good one with the kiddos.

Good evening all. I'm heading out shortly for chorus rehearsal, had another lovely day off. It will definitely be hard to return to work tomorrow. I took a long walk with a DF along the Hudson River and it couldn't have been a more spectacular day, weather-wise. I had to spend a couple of hours in Panera this morning because my cleaning lady came today and my house is so small that it's hard to be here when she's trying to clean. I took my laptop, bought a cup of mint tea, and enjoyed the uninterrupted time. I took a nap this afternoon so sleep will be a problem tonight, I'm sure, as it generally is after rehearsals even when I don't nap. But I feel well rested now and it is the best feeling in the world.
I've really been enjoying the Kalua Pig recipe from Nomnompaleo, had it with the cooked cabbage as she suggests and I made it in my Instant Pot. I crisp up the pork I am eating and it is really delicious. Which is lucky since I have like 3 more lbs of it in the freezer...
I have a long day tomorrow, starting with personal training and then ending with dinner with a friend down near work. I also have a meeting with our directors to prep for their meeting with the executive committee of my board next week. This sure is a nail biter but hopefully by the end of this month I will know if we're going ahead with the merger or not. It's been 2 years and I'm so done with all the deliberations about this. Whatever they decide at this point is fine.
Jana, I second everything Lora said. Sending you lots of love.
Susie, we're having beautiful weather here too. Glad you made it to the gym.
Have a great evening everyone.

I had planned on going back to work tomorrow but after talking to my boss I will be taking the rest of the week off from work. I may not tell my DF that I will be off the rest of the week. I need a break. That sounds horrible but I have been with him or my mom pretty much 24/7 for the last 3 weeks. I know my DF is grieving but I am too and some times it is hard to listen to how pitiful he is. Top that off with drinking non-stop and being hateful mixed with pitiful and it is almost more than I can bare.
I will only work 3 days next week and then I am off for New Orleans and my cruise.
Tomorrow I will be dropping the Urn off at the Funeral home along with pictures and song requests for the video tribute for my mother. There is a possibility my mother's remains will not be back by the time we have her service on Saturday and if that is the case, the Urn will be displayed and no one will know the difference except myself and DH.
I also have an appointment to get my hair cut and colored. This is the 4th appointment that I have had - I had to keep rescheduling them.
Lora are you enjoying the cooler weather? What did you decide to do today??
Susie enjoy your tap class.
It is supposed to be raining here all day tomorrow

Hi Everyone,
Today wasnt too too bad. My little person did start running around the room at rest time and after dealing with him some our director came in and assisted.
Jana, thinking about all that has been going on with your family. Will your father move in with you after your trip or will he stay where he was? Probably for your own sanity maybe he should stay where he has been but that would continue to be an extra expense.
Andi, did you go visit your friend in Pa?
Its only Tuesday but tommorow is hum day and already looking forward to the weekend. If the weather is nice we are going to Hawk Mountain on Saturday. We havent been there in a while so its very pretty if the weather cooperates.
Susie, hope you enjoyed your tap class. I used to take jazz classes for several years. I liked certain aspects but always felt a bit shy about having to dance across the floor myself. With zumba I dont feel put on the spot to perform. I have to try that again and see if my foot can manage. Its been some time since I have tried it. The plantar fascitis has been feeling better with the new sneakers I bought a while ago.
Have a great night.

Just got home from Charades and a meeting afterward. I will be out early for my exercise class. I am done and need to go to bed, but still have a couple more things to do.
I lost a filling this evening...that has never happened to me before, so I guess I will be calling the dentist tomorrow... I have an appt to get my teeth cleaned in 2 weeks anyway.
Lora - my knee survived this morning...actually pretty good...totally agree with the lovely things you said to Jana
Andi - sounds like you had a great day. Enjoy rehearsal tonight
Janet - I really enjoy my tap class and I have missed the last 2 or 3 weeks, so I really needed to go. Hope the weather cooperates with you this weekend.
Jana - I have never had to plan a funeral and do not even want to think about doing so....I know you are just drained and I am guessing that your boss told you to take the rest of the week off...you surely need it. I hope your DF can deal with the stress a little more on his own, because I don't thing you can handle your loss and his too. So glad that your cruise is right around the corner... I hope you can leave some worried behind and really relax. Just know that your DM is a peace.
Off to bed soon
