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.

Lora, it sounds like Merlin is settling in nicely.  Awww, CC right in the middle of his pen. Maybe it's a good sign he's not hiding in the condo? I know! -- the back to school stuff is in extreme right now, yikes! Our DG has Halloween out now, time travels fast enough without the push from the stores. Thank you for asking... DS and BIL are recuperating in Skopje at an airbnb with my nieces... one is a nurse, so they are in good hands. They travel back and forth to the hospital for checkups now. When there isn't a worry about blood clots, and BIL's heart is well enough, they'll travel to the US for their full recovery process. So, they are on the mend. Janet, did you get to Atlantic City? It sounds like you have such adventurous experiences. How often does your hiking group get together? Jana, did you decide to take yesterday off? I am sure the R and R would be nice... and you have the contract on the house to celebrate. Hope your pops is enjoying his trip. Susie, we are there with you in spirit this weekend. ((((hugs)))) RobinMD, if I remember you are working this weekend... but relieved a little early? Hope all is going well. Again, thank you so much for your service. Happy Saturday! I LOVE Saturdays. It's my day with DH. We haven't gone to a restaurant together in a few weeks, so I look forward to it today. Last week we had something come up and the week before I was with DD. The scale is up a little this week, so I'll track again this week. That always seems to help. I have been emotional eating here and there. Thank goodness I am going to the pool and gym which is really helping keeping things in check. Yesterday seemed like a full day for me. In the morning I met with a friend/co-worker for coffee and we sat for 4 hours. Then DH and went out to buy a new mower. DH was partway through the mowing when the mower broke. He knew it was on its last leg, and we are surprised it lasted as long as it did. Then we of course went on our grocery run...ugh. I can't stand grocery shopping. The fridge was out in the store, so today we have to stop at a different store for yogurt, cottage cheese, and such. Waving hi to everyone! |

Hi Everyone,
Been really lazy this morning..not even dressed yet..After finishing my second cup of coffee I will.
Jill, I am assuming that the mower that broke was older and not a new one that broke. I'd be mad if it was one that was new that broke..
I am not really into going to Atlantic City so if she goes maybe she will go with this other friend that goes but he isnt one to get wet though. Knowing her she will stand at the water's edge not getting wet..if there is only 2 of us there needs to be someone watching our things and I honestly dont feel like being on the beach and not being able to get wet.. its not really clean either.
Our hiking group is a very small group really anymore which is okay with me because we are all getting older and dont do the strenous and long hikes we used to do when we were younger. We tend to do hikes that are flat or not too hilly. We also do other things besides hiking like going to a museum or a movie, etc.
It looks like my friend's brother will be going back to the rehab place for a few days at least. We are going swimming for a change and then we are planning to go to this chinese restaurant for dinner that is authentic if it is open. We once went before and what I got I liked so hope that will be on the menu again. I have to look it up and see if it is open. Some places have closed permanently.
Have a great day!

Good morning friends.
We're just back from the grocery store - so y'all know how much I dislike that particular chore. Anyway, we should be good to go for a week or more (maybe 2 if I plan well).
Jill - so good to hear that DS and BIL seem to be on the back side of the Covid experience. CC was closed into his pen - so he couldn't actually get to his fort...Lol. I did at one point put Merlin on his pillow with a "stay" command and let CC out of the pen to hop around and stretch his little legs. He stayed on the far side of the pen (putting the whole pen between himself and Merlin...Lol) and he hung out behind and under the sofa, loveseat and chairs...which also put himself well out of reach. At this point I think they'd be fine, but just better not to take any chances.
Janet - oh gosh, going to the beach and not getting in the water seems a waste of a trip - and especially if it's not clean. I don't think I'd enjoy that at all. I hope the Chinese restaurant is good.
Not much news from here. We're just spending a quite weekend at home I suppose. I hope everybody has a great Saturday. I'll try to BBL.

Hi again,
We didnt end up going to the authentic chinese restaurant because they were about to have some affair. So we ended up going back up past where I live to this other restaurant we like. We just ate there a few weeks ago for our club meeting..instead of getting the fried chicken wings I get I got red borscht ( a hot beat soup that has meat in it)
and one beef skirt kabob. We split the tandoori bread ( mmm!). I took 2 pieces home. We went to the pool earlier and I went to the gym before that. . 2 days in a row. If it isnt pouring tommorow I may go again.
I have some laundry in and probably will read the book I started yesterday.Cassie has joined my lap club. Tommorow the weather may not be swimming weather as they are saying storms according to my friend. Monday I am having lunch with some scout friends. Maybe later on in the afternion I will get to the pool.
She has been sitting in the back seat and its been better than it was but still can be annoying.
