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 ROs. Another wacky sleep night for me. Passed out at 9, up at one, half an Ambien to get back to sleep, slept until 6, woke up with a headache and feeling groggy and still feel that way. I did go to my trainer, have 3 sessions left so I guess I'll be done next week. And I have no major plans today so that is good.
I am going car shopping this afternoon, to the Subaru dealer, looking for a used Cross Trek. I'm going to take my Impreza in to have it washed inside and out since it's gotten disgusting and I know they'll want to look at it to price a trade in. Hope the line at the car wash isn't too bad - it's generally a problem on Saturdays. Every time I plan to get it washed we're due for rain so I put it off. I think it's supposed to rain all next week but at some point you just have to do it, right? The inside bugs me more than the outside!
The family meeting last night went fine, I think. We've agreed that at least we will not hold onto secrets. DSIL wanted affirmation from ex's wife that DD is "difficult," which unfortunately she gave him. I got pretty annoyed, although DD is indeed not easy going, for sure. But still, a little loyalty??? Sheesh. The rest of the conversation was fine and we'll support DD as best we can when she needs it. I still have to tell her that her DF actually knows what's going on because her DH made that call. Takes the pressure off me at least. Ugh, don't like family drama but this one will go on for awhile, regardless of the ultimate outcome. And I'm going out there in 2 weeks for a quick trip - made a hotel reservation because staying with them at the moment is not feasible. Between Corona and marriage tensions, I am not so much looking forward to the trip.
I'll check back in later. Hope everyone's having a good weekend.

Good Morning ... This is the first morning in while that I awakened WITHOUT a headache...yippee. DH had a men's breakfast and I stayed in bed for awhile (in between starting laundry, etc). Went to DD's and took a walk with her, hung out with DGDs for awhile, and am back home. Talked with DD about trying to eliminate sugar, cholesterol levels, etc. The cleaning lady is coming at 1:00 so DH and I will head to Costco or someplace to get out of the house. The only other thing planned for today is church this evening.
Andi- sounds like the conversation last night went fairly well. I would be upset that ex's wife said DD is difficult also, but at least she admitted that they discussed it, so the agreement of "no secrets" is a good idea. Good idea to stay in a hotel when you go out I think. Sorry that you are having one more thing to be concerned about...hang in there.

Hey...how do you get onto this site...is it just go into wwmessageboard.freeforums.net/ or do you have to have a WW address or something? I was talking to Rosemary Cassidy Logan today....and I told her to just go to this site. It is OK if I invite her to join our private FB group ...right? |

Hi Everyone,
Ended up running around and being out longer than I planned today. Now plan to sit and relax for a while. I finished the book The Only Woman in the Room this morning. I was going to stop into the podiatrist's office to talk to them about this bill I received but should have called to check that they were open. They weren't it turned out. I think they alternate their hours on Saturdays. I will have to wait I guess to the weekday.
Got to the gym today because tommorow I will be shopping earlier so I can go downtown after for dinner with members from my club. Stopped at the library to pick up The Good Wives which my sister says is part of the Little Women series. Since I borrowed that one from the Interlibrary loan system I am going to read that first even tho I have another book from the series that I haven't yet started but have a little more time to read and may be able to renew easier since it is from our library system. Other than that need to some decluttering and cleaning in between reading.
I decided that I am not going to take that boy outside. Everytime it is time to come back in that is where we have problems especially. If it means that the others dont go out than so be it. He is impossible for me to get him to get him to come back in and I am not going to put a new temp person in charge of trying to get him when I can't even do it. Our director had to call to have him get picked up on Thursday due to his behavior.
Andi, sorry your daughter is going thru difficult time with her marriage. The visit out there may be uncomfortable so staying at a hotel may be a good choice.
My cousin is now in a hospice center. It is just a matter of time now but when it comes we won't be there for a funeral. It will be private amongst the most immediate family. His wish is to be cremated.
I hope everyone is having a good day.

Good evening, all. I bought a car!!! A 2018 Impreza hatchback in a dark blue color with only 15,000 miles on it. I test drove it and loved it - it's the same as my current car but with all kinds of bells and whistles and updates that weren't available in 2014. I will have car payments again, darn it, but "only" 4 years this time and not too expensive. I'm so happy, should be able to pick it up next weekend. They also have a tech guy there who will make sure I have all the electronic stuff working. So, definitely a productive day and fun to think about something completely outside of mergers and family marriages. I needed a break.
Thanks for everyone's kind words about DD. It's just hard, no two ways about it. And so sad.
Janet, sorry about your cousin in hospice. Hopefully they're managing his pain and he is comfortable. This is sad too.
Susie, I had your headache today but so glad you woke up without one. It took me 2 sets of Advil to get rid of mine. I have been drinking a little regular coffee again and it just messes with my head. Plus of course there's the sleep issue and stress about DD. Glad you have a day with some down time in it - what were DD's thoughts on eliminating sugar?
I'm going to watch some TV with DN, the series on ice skating called Spinning Out, or something like that. Again I appreciate distraction these days.
Have a good evening all.

Congratulations Andi on your new car!! Hurray! I will send some virtual change into it when you actually are in possession of it for good luck.
It turns out that the book that I ordered from the Interlending library is really part of the Little Women book that I already read. My oldest sister told me that the book called The Good Wives was a sequel to the Little Women book but I see that it isn't true. It was already in the book that I borrowed from my other sister. Oh wel!. Now I won't have to renew and can return it and start the other book about the school that Jo creates.
