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 friends. I hope everyone is having a good day. We had very hard rain all night. Normally that would have made for good sleep for me, but the constant thunder that came with it made sleep difficult. It looks like the worst of it has moved out and we have off and on sprinkles this morning that will stop by afternoon - and after that we're supposed to have really nice weather at least through the middle of next week with lows in the lower 60s and highs in the upper 70s - basically perfect. Today is DDs birthday. OMG! How in the heck and I old enough to be the mom of a 34 year old?!?! Haha. Not a whole lot planned for the day. I hope everyone has a good day. I'll check back later.

Good morning everyone. Took Pop to the eye dr. yesterday so they could check on the retina repair they did a couple of months ago. That repair looks good but there is a tear in the retina in his other eye. He is legally blind in that eye - right now they just want to watch it so that means appointments once a month for awhile. I also talked to his primary Dr. yesterday and he does NOT have cancer. I can't remember if I told you all he was convinced he had cancer from something the primary Dr. said at his appointment last Friday. He has lost some weight but they feel like it is because he is not getting the calories from alcohol that he got in the past. He is definitely eating better. Anyway - it has been SIX months since Pop had a drink. I can never express how thankful I am for that. Lora - Happy Birthday to DD. I think our weather is like what you are experiencing. Sunny one might and pouring the next minute. Our weather is supposed to be like this through Saturday. I hope you and CC find something to do today Jill I hope the sub worked out well for you yesterday and the staff meeting went well. Susie hope your chicken marsala turned out well. So far we are still on for the fridge repair tomorrow. We have been making grocery lists as we lost a lot of food that we had in the fridge. IF the repair goes as planned I will probably leave work a bit early tomorrow so I can get to the grocery store. My DS and BIL are coming for the weekend and we really do not have much in the house at all. Waving to all - I hope you all have a great Thursday.

Hello Everyone - not much planned today. I did have to get to the hospital to have a drive-thru covid test (required for my endoscopy/colonoscopy on Monday). At least it was pretty painless - unlike the colonoscopy PREP will be on Sunday...aaaaaggggghhhhh.
Lora - sorry the thunder kept you up...darn, and the rain would have been so peaceful! Supposedly, we should have had plenty of rain and really we have had almost none. Activities have been cancelled due to the forecast of rain however...lol! I walked with DD this morning and it was in the 60s.
Jana - I am going to wait until they actually show up and FIX the fridge before I jump up and down and celebrate for you, but I sure hope it happens. Glad Pops was wrong about having cancer, but oh dear, the blindness in one eye is scary. DH has glaucoma and is partially blind in one eye. How odd that he has lost weight from NOT drinking...usually people who drink lose weight. Take that man out for some more Mexican rice and beans - lol! How wonderful for his 6 months sober though - YIPPEE!!!

Wow, seeing news reports this morning is so sad and scary. So far 4 deaths are being attributed to all of the rain and flooding that we've had over the last few days. All were people in vehicles that were swept away by flood waters. It's crazy. The sun is fully out now and the sky is nothing but blue, so hopefully the drying out process can begin. No flooding on our property, but a lot of lower lying areas are in rough shape. My back yard is like walking on a sponge right now, it's just so saturated.
Jana - Oh goodness, I hope your dad's eye is able to heal without another surgical intervention. Glad to know that cancer isn't a concern. How did he get that so wrong? Sometimes I think people hear one or two words and just get so focused on those, that they just don't hear the rest of what's being said. Anyway, glad oyou were able to speak with his Dr. and get that part cleared up. I'm saying a special appliance prayer for your fridge. Lol
Susie - I know you're not looking forward to Monday, except for getting it over and done with. So sorry your activities got cancelled, but hopefully you weather won't get as bad as they think it could.
Anybody have any plans for the weekend? I'm hoping to work in a hike either Sat or Sun morning. Not sure which yet, but our footbal game isn't until Saturday evening so we don't have that to work around. I guess we'll just wait and see how we're feeling come the weekend.

Hi Everyone, Today was a very stressful day all around. I really felt like walking out. Part of the reason I felt upset is that my partner was thinking of only herself when she asked this maintenance man to come cover her so she could go to the bathroom and let him go. I hadnt gone to the bathroom since the morning at around 10:00..that is a long time to have to wait. Then on top of it she was at the computer while I was trying to deal with all the kids myself. Not right! The only reason why I feel better is because she said she finished the assesments on all the kids including the ones I was going to finish tonight. It means I didnt have to work on it tonight. Last night I worked on it until 10 pm. I have plans on Monday that I need to confirm with the other friend for lunch. I have an eye appointment on Saturday morning for a annual but I am overdue tho. Maybe I will get to the gym as I havent been for a while. Jana, I hope the refrigerator gets fixed. My phone needs charging so will say goodnight.
