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.
Feel free to jump in and join us. All are welcome here.
Our motto is persistence, not perfection.

Good morning all & Happy Saturday!
I've been up for several hours already. Just not a good sleeping night here, but it's ok. They don't come as frequently as they used to, and it just reminds me to be grateful for the good nights. Haha. I actually don't feel bad and I'm about to start a 2nd cup of coffee, so there are good points too.
Susie - you'll have to let us know when you get that tree done. I hope DGS was able to get that first ornament up to get it going.
Jana - there have been a few times in the past that for whatever reason we didn't put up a tree. For me, it just didn't seem like the holidays without one. Maybe you could just get a little tabletop tree, or one of those light-up ceramic ones like our grandma's used to have. Just kind of a nod to a tree, if you are missing having one this year.
Robin - Oh wow! I didn't realize you were in Augusta that recently (it's a little scary when 24 years ago feels recent....Lol). Have a safe (and hopefully dry) shift.
Oh, it turns out I didn't do anything with the beef shanks. DH met a friend after work and they had dinner out, so I had a cheese and salami plate on my own. Maybe I'll make a mushroom run today. Haha.
I think I'm completely finished with holiday shopping. DD and DSIL got their fancy air fryer sent directly to them with and Amazon-Black Friday sale and are already enjoying it. And the only other person I really needed to shop for was DH and I think I have him covered. I'm pretty sure he hasn't even thought about doing any shopping or considered any gifts. So I thought I'd help him out and I'm actually making an "wish list" on Amazon. He can get whatever he pleases from that list. That makes it easy for him, and I don't end up with a weird neck/shoulder massager that actually caused intense pain (my gift of 2 years ago).

Hi Everyone,
I have to do my errands mainly this morning because I have to work on an online training later at my sister's for work. I tried getting on my phone last night but I wasnt able to open up the symbol they said to open the training. I am hoping it is just because I am using my phone. I think/ hope that it will open once I get on my sister's computer that it will work.
Yesterday we had our staff bowling party. They assigned people to the alleys but they werent our own coworkers. I never did bowl with the other people because I just didnt feel like bowling with people I didnt know. Later tho some of our own staff were bowling so they were telling me to bowl. I got a strike one time. They had pizza, wings and hoagies. They rented out the whole bowling alley. My friend earned staff recognition for doing her book sale at our center. She has actually been doing it for a few years already tho.
Susie, the appointment with my neurologis/ opthamalogist was fine. It is a teaching hospital so at times they have a resident come in first to interview and then they present their findings to the doctor. That is probably why it takes a bit longer. The doctor apologized for being late. I told him it was okay as I wasnt in any rush to return to my kids especially the hard ones. Lol! When I got back which was right in time for lunch the kids got all excited and greeted me tho. Such angels! Lol!
Tonight my friend and her brother and I are planning to go to a games night at a synogogue that one of the guys we know runs. He says he is bringing cheese and wine. I like my moscato and might consider bringing the extra bottle I ended up taking home from Thanksgiving. If he has brought that kind I will not open and save for lunch next weekend with my friends.
I got a call from the library yesterday that the book that I requested from the interlibrary loan is available for me to to pick up. Yeah! It means that I dont have to do it on my phone. It is called A Texan's Honor which I couldnt find in a book form except an ebook. I am going to finish the current book which I probably will finish up by the weekend but looking forward to start the new book.
Have a great day!

Good morning all. Lora, I had a terrible sleep night too, although I have them frequently still, unfortunately. This time I went to sleep fine around 10, was up at 1:30 wide awake and thinking it was morning because I felt so good. I lay awake, listening to podcasts until 4 at which time I took half an Ambien. And slept until 8. So, right now feeling pretty good but I know this is really messed up. I see my doctor Monday and this is item #1 on my agenda. Not that he's been all that helpful with this other than giving me the Ambien prescription. I will ask about Belsomra which RobinMD suggested and I just read online about a natural product I might try as well. When I retire I really think I won't care so much about my sleep because I'll have flexibility to nap if I need it. But right now, I really need to be on the top of my game and 3 hours of sleep pretty much guarantees I won't be at my best. I had to lol at DH's present a couple of years ago - it makes so much sense to do a wish list, Lora!
Janet, what's A Texan's Honor about? Have fun at the event tonight.
I am blissfully without plans today. Gym with DN at noon. Supermarket at some point over the weekend. And we may watch a movie together tonight. I so need the down time!!! This past week was crushing.
Another gray day here but at least not raining at the moment. Looks like we have a chance of rain all day and otherwise cloudy and in the 40's. Blech.
Have a great day, all.

Good Afternoon....was off and running early to get to the church where I volunteered to register donors for a blood drive. Fortunately, I was able to donate also and DH manned the registration table for me. I had NO problem at all with my iron level this time---probably due to ALL the food I've been eating - ha! Since then, I have been wrapping gifts and just now finished my morning coffee and got something to eat....maybe I should wrap gifts more often - lol.
Lora - I have already talked to DS and he is bringing DGS either before or after church this evening to put that ornament on the tree! I really don't care since it is artificial has lights on it... it looks pretty just like that, but I always enjoy looking at the ornaments year and year and remembering what each means to me. I love the idea of the wish list on Amazon...nothing to return that way.
Janet - bummer that you couldn't do the online training last night, but hopefully you will get it done today. Game night at a the synagogue should be a lot of fun. Yippee for the strike at bowling. How sweet for the kids to be excited to see you...every little perk helps!
Andi - sorry about the bad night...you have had a tough week. Hopefully, you can totally relax this weekend (well, after the gym at least - lol).
OH, the sun just now popped out - wow - cold, but at least sunny - DH said yesterday that he was tired of the rain.
OK.. I am off to read or wrap more gifts

I give up on this online training class. Its not working right. I think because if I could use Google Chrome on my sister's computer I would but she doesnt want me to and even tho I can use it on my phone I dont see all the things I would if I was using a computer and the chrome I am guessing. I have spent way too much time trying to do it. The class will be finished as of tonight. I am supposed to complete it before the new year if I am already employed as a teacher and not new. I dont want to bug my friend and I am not even sure how it would work on her computer and I have plans so that is too bad. She is in a different program so I dont think she is required to take it at least maybe not now.
A Texan's Honor from what I remember reading in the excerpt at the end of her other book has to do with a train robbery by a gang of bandits. It is fiction. I finished my other book this morning so can dive into it immediately when I am ready.
It is raining and yucky here but not pouring heavy. I really dont even like to drive in less rain at night.
Tommorow my usual shopping. My knee is feeling better than before so may plan on going to the gym in the morning. I ate too much yesterday at the bowling party and really didnt bowl that much. Another staff member kept taking some of my turns too. Oh well!
Robin Md, if I wanted to see someone concerning the hernia, what type of doctor specializes in that?
Have a great rest of the day!
