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.
All are welcome!

Good morning! Susie, your coffee social sounds nice. There are complainers everywhere in life, and that's too bad. Wish they could look at the bright side. But, thankfully there are the others that continually look for the good, and they were at the coffee too. You probably gave some people a moment with others that they've been needing for months and months. That is a wonderful thing. I love your picture.  Is that with coffee?? I am using my RO Fall mug this morning, so I am a bit late to your coffee social. Lora, I love RobinMD's response. Maybe that was related to your back pain? The timing seems right. OMG, your pizza sounds perfect. I told my DH about it yesterday, and yes, we will be having it within a couple of weeks. I have been craving pizza lately, but have been mentally just pushing it aside. DH though, had it last week. He's on a different eating plan than I am. I was hoping to watch a few more AWAY episodes yesterday, but we finished The Mandolorian with our son yesterday. Then we watched about 10,000 episodes of House Hunters. RobinMD, this is so great that you are getting some R and R time. I hope you have another great day today. My downfall used to be eating snacks and a second helping of dinner in the evening after 7 or 8. So closing that window has made a huge difference to me. Janet, how are you doing? I do hope you are able to rest and relax this weekend. Take care! Jana, I bet you are working on your house this weekend. I hope you do find a moment to rest too. Yesterday's online meeting was about two hours, it took 45 minutes for everyone to check in. The president of our auxiliary called me afterwards and that was fun to debrief. We have our first in person meeting since the pandemic this Monday night, and I am an officer now (secretary), so it's kind of exciting. I am going to run the tech for the at-home people. So, I hope that works. I am such a dork, but I just enjoy the group so much. They really made me feel welcome when I moved here last year. My DH and I ended up going to our favorite Mexican Restaurant, and I think I did pretty well. Better than I would have 6 months ago. Then we went to a State Park for a walk which wasn't too far from the restaurant. That's another thing we are enjoying. We look wherever we are at for nature trails... I just love it. Yesterday's trail had a huge sink hole, the size of a big office building with steps leading down into it. But unfortunately, the steps were closed. So we have that to look forward to down the road. We also went clothes shopping at Kohls and Burlington. I have a good problem right now, my clothes are hanging on me, and I'd like to look a bit more professional at work. So, I bought two short skirts, navy and black; dress pants (size 12!!!-- so happy); and two floral blouses. Kohls didn't have much, it's almost like they didn't buy much in there for the season, kind of strange feeling. Since I couldn't try them on, I was nervous going down to the sizes I picked, but I was so elated that they fit. Today we have our parking lot communion then grading and lesson planning. I might get my "chili" made today for the week, even though I have a few more servings left. But, not sure when I'd be able to do it during the week. Waving Hi to all. |

Hello everyone,
It is a beautiful morning, but rain will come after about 4pm today. I am going to head up to the pool, take the solar cover off, vacuum it, and add my winter chemicals so they can circulate for a day or two. Then the winter cover goes on. I also have a plan to clear some things out of the kitchen. Yesterday I went on a wall washing spree. I cleaned walls and baseboards and it sure looks good. I even took down the exhaust fan cover in the bathroom ceiling and cleaned that...things I see that need to be done, but I don't get around to them quickly! I also took the dogs for a long walk around the field. I am so grateful that I can do that, because I remember in the spring and early summer, I was barely able to walk up to the pool. I enjoy the walks so much.
Susie, sorry your coffee event brought out some complainers....it sounds like such a nice time. I hope you feel perkier today and enjoy some sunshine.
Jill, the Mexican food sounds delicious. I love it.
Lora, hope you are still symptom free!
Well, more coffee and a little more relaxing, and I'm heading outside. It is actually a little cool this morning. I hope everyone is having a nice morning!
RobinMD

Good morning everyone! I hope everybody is having a good Sunday.
Susie - thanks for starting us off. Enjoy your outside time. I wish the humidity would drop some here. It's just been too miserable here to be outside any more than necessary - or maybe I'm just being a bigger baby about it than I used to be. Haha! DH doesn't seem to mind it it the mornings and at night.
Jill - sounds like you had a really good day yesterday. We love Mexican food too! I hope the grading and planning isn't too taxing today.
RobinMD - WOW! Wall washing? That's an endeavor! Hope it didn't make you sore.
As for me, I'm still symptom free as far as the UTI/Stone issues go. I'm knocking wood on the UTI/Stone concerns, as it came on so fast Friday night, I hate to think that there's another lurking somewhere that hit me out of nowhere. I still have one area of my back that has muscle soreness. The back muscle thing is better than the day I tweaked it, and I know it just takes time to fully resolve.
We never got the rain that was predicted for yesterday, but they're calling for it again today so we'll see how it shakes out, I suppose.

Well, instead of sitting outside for awhile, I went for a walk, then watched the online church service. Since then, all I have done is goof off...ha...maybe that is what I need today. I know that I have to go get gas in the car so maybe I will go do that and stop at Fresh Mkt to order a meal for a neighbor who just had surgery. Oh, the pic is of me before COVID when a group of ladies in the neighborhood used to visit tea houses - that was so much fun.

Susie - some days a body, mind and soul needs a little "goof off" time. Kind of fits well with the thought of the day, right? Ha!

Hello again,
I did get some things done today to prepare the pool for covering. My girls came by and we actually hung out up by the pool because it was such a nice day, and we just enjoyed chatting and letting all our dogs play and do zoomies in the field! It was nice. The rain has not moved through yet and it is at least 2 hours after the time they said it would be here. Ok with me!
Lora, glad you are still feeling well! That humidity can sure make it tough to enjoy outside time. It won't be bad too much longer, and then you'll have those beautiful fall colors. Lots of pretty walks by the lake!
Susie, I have had moments of guilt when I'm not being busy and productive, but then I think that if I can't sneak in a nap on the couch while I'm on vacation, when in the heck can I? I hope you enjoy all of your goof-off time!
I think I'll go make a little salad for dinner, and then do some more cross-stitching. I don't have any plans yet, for my day off tomorrow. It is my last day before I go back to work. I know there will be a pile of things waiting for me, but I don't care. I needed this time. I hope everyone has had a nice weekend and some good weather. I will be back tomorrow. Take care, everone,
RobinMD

Hi Everyone,
Been very busy today doing work stuff, a zoom with my siblings minus one. Had to do my usual food shopping and really came in and had to leave her in a hurry but will go back tommorow after dinner to sit with her and take care of some bills that need to be sent out. I wanted to use my sister's computer and she said she was leaving around 4 so didnt really have time so much to go home and put my things away.
I ran out of my general foods international coffee yesterday and didnt feel like stopping last night on my way home at Target so had tea this morning but coffee wakes me up more than tea. After shopping at the usual store I made a quick stop at Target.
We did go to the beach yesterday but I didnt get wet at all. It was chilly and windy. We were supposed to be meeting the other member who lives down there but the directions were not right and we ended up someplace no really near where she was. She wanted to get take out and sit in some park. We said sorry that we werent meeting her and on our way home we stopped at this mexican restaurant we like. We sat outside also but it was a bit more like a patio and had some cover.
Lora, glad that uti is staying away and hope it continues.
Jill, glad you found clothes you liked.We have a Kohl's but it isnt that close and the idea of having to take them home to try them doesnt appeal to me.
Robin Md, glad that you enjoyed your time off.
Waving to Susie, Jana and anyone else I may have missed.

Heading to bed... It has actually been an enjoyable and relaxing day.Tomorrow DH will be off to neuro-fit and I will go to the gym exercise by the lake. I am supposed to play "Scattergories" outside at the clubhouse around the pool and hope to persuade DH to go also...we'll see.
RobinMD - glad you got to enjoy some time around the pool with DDs...won't be long now.
Janet - chilly and windy at the beach, huh...Fall is on the way... I like Fall, just not what follows so much - lol
Good night everyone

Is that with coffee?? I am using my RO Fall mug this morning, so I am a bit late to your coffee social.
