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 here.

Good morning and happy Friday.
I will be working this weekend trying to catch up from being off last week and being off at the beginning of this week with my Dad. I didn't realize I didn't post yesterday. I came by and read the posts and thought I posted but I guess I had a squirrel moment and didn't.
I had to change the bandages on my Dad's arm last night. When he fell he busted it up pretty good. His whole arm is black and swollen now. From his shoulder all the way down to his wrist. He is swelling so much that his skin is starting to crack. It looks so awful.
I had put up a humming bird feeder in my yard, near my patio and I saw my first one the other day, I was so excited. My mom loved her hummingbird feeder and I had been wanting to put one outside of the new house.
Lora your pictures of your walk yesterday looked beautiful.
Susie glad you enjoyed your exercise inside. I THINK the state is getting ready to open back up. Our weather has been so strange this week and it is so chilly this morning. Bocce sounds like fun.
Janet I saw your pictures and that is so nice that they did that for you.
Waving to everyone else! I hope you all have an amazing Friday and weekend. My DS is going home tomorrow. She has been getting up with Dad in the middle of the night, making sure he gets his pain meds. I am going to miss her when she is gone.

Hi Everyone, Jana, is there anything that the doctor could recommend to help with the swelling? I am guessing not unless just maybe an ice pack since I am assuming with the alcohol he has taken he probably couldnt take anything internal.
Need to make some calls today since we aren't allowed to use our cell phone at work even to text,scroll except when we have a break. I do use it for instruction tho as when I try to share the screen during the zoom they say they can't hear it. Once I get dressed I plan to go to the gym for a bit, then maybe will do some food shopping today. Cassie is enjoying my company at the moment. Other than that I will maybe do some decluttering and taking care of any upcoming bills.

Hello everyone and Happy Friday! Mark is working at the office today and meeting the patio posse after work so today is my "alone day". I have no plans at all really, just kind of hanging out and taking it easy today. I think we're making a Costco run either Saturday or Sunday. Not positive which day yet. Jana - I'm sorry your sister couldn't stay longer. I'm sure it was really helpful having her there. Janet - enjoy your day off. It sounds like they did a nice set up for teacher appreciation yesterday. Susie - Love that your exercise classes are starting to get back to some semblance of "normal". Well, I started this post before lunch time, but didn't actually post it. So now I'm back with a little update. With all of the recent rain, the yard was really looking rough. So instead of having to do it this weekend, I went ahead and took care of what I normally do and most of what Mark usually does. The only part I couldn't do was part of the front ditch, it's just too steep and the push more really manhandles me on that part. Lol. But it's fine, you can't even really tell that wasn't done. The rest looks great. The weed whacker and push mower part have my arms feeling like wet noodles. haha. Hopefully I won't be sore tomorrow - fingers crossed. I think I'm going to make myself something for an early supper, change into p.j.s and call it a day. Oh! And I just checked my activity tracker and it's showing 8.7 miles for the day, so yeah...I'm DONE.

Hi Everyone...went to outdoor ex class this morning, then went to DD's for our walk, then played Hand and Foot, then picked DGD up from school - oh man, the poor thing- it was pouring down rain and she was drenched. Next we are off to HH at the clubhouse. Tomorrow morning I will be helping with our monthly "coffee" at the clubhouse; people are so glad to be starting to get back out. They can sit out around the pool if they are not comfortable inside, so it should be good for everyone.
Today is my baby sister's BD - well she is actually my only sibling, so we are pretty close.
Jana- sure hope Pops is recovering - even if it is slowly. Like Lora, I wish your DS could stay longer!
Lora - yippee for the 9 hours of sleep.
Janet - enjoy the day and the long weekend this gives you.
Jill - sorry about the lack of sleep -hope that is better tonight.
RobinMD - hope all is going fine...can't remember if you will be working this weekend or not.

Hi Everyone,
Got to the gym, then went to Giant nearby and bought some of my groceries there. I still want to get to my normal store for some other things.
When I was over at my sister's I picked up some more books from the series of books with the former cook who ends up in solving crimes. My sister's friend gave her a whole bunch of them.
Before going to the gym I called to reschedule my dentist and mammogram. They had an appointment for the mammogram for tommorow afternoon so. I took it. My gyn said I could schedule 4-6 weeks after the vaccine. I may have put it for next weekend which would have made it 6 weeks but I made plans with a friend for lunch that day. Its smack in the middle of the number of weeks.
Other than that came home, had lunch and hung out with Cassie on my lap until it was almost time to go to my sister's. She has settled down again as I am writing this..the lap lover.
Lora, glad you got most of yard work done today. Hope you wont be too sore.
Susie, glad you got your exercise in.[
Jill, did they do anything special for you? Kids or staff? None of my parents did anything tho with the exception of one parent that brought in coffee and donuts for everyone. The one parent tho did bring us flowers a few weeks ago tho. I have learned not to get my expectations up. If a parent brings a gift I appreciate it but dont expect to receive one. Then I am not disappointed. And some of the cards that I have received mean more than the gift itself. Last year I got such a nice acknowledgement from the parent of a child who I taught for two years.
Waving to Jana,both Robin's and anyone else I may have missed.
Does anybody hear from Amanda or Andi anymore?
