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.
I just had a salesman stop by unexpectedly. I really don't like that. They need to talk to the techs and not me. The techs know what we have and the items we need. When the sales guy says well this is what you did last year - I am always like - Umm ok if you say so - LOL
Robin - thanks for the info about the bulbs. I am not going to dig them up. I have 2 flowerpots I put the bulbs in and then my flowerbed by my front steps. I am just going to let them marinate and let them do their thing. Congrats on the WL - that is great. Good luck with your interview.
It is raining here this morning but is supposed to clear up later. I really, really need to spray some weed killer at home but I need a few dry days to do it, so it doesn't run off into my grass or flowers.
Why does work always seem like feast or famine? I am trying to catch up from being gone last week, which is taking a little bit. We have a team meeting tomorrow, so I won't get much done then either. It will get done, just may take me a bit longer than I expect.
I am a little bit frustrated with work. I just found out someone else in my same position is being promoted after only being here 2 years. However, he is in NY and there are more opportunities where he is at. I have had 5 different managers and I just feel like I keep getting overlooked because my management is always changing. OR maybe I just don't do my job as well as I think I do. I want to find time to talk to my current manager and see if he has any suggestions as to career advancements. I can't move - so it will have to be something that doesn't require me to relocate, and I just don't know there will be that many opportunities. I didn't start here 10 years ago to remain in this position, and at the time we were part of another company in the local area - but they sold off the part of the company that I am with. I just feel burned out and stuck and I don't know what to do with it. I am always hearing that management is telling new people to aspire to be like - so and so - but I don't know what they do that is so spectacular that I don't do. Anywho - enough whining.
I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Good morning and happy Wednesday!
Jana - thanks for starting us. Job progression certainly can be frustrating and confusing. I once had a manager tell me that he didn't recommend me for advancement because I was really good at what I was currently doing and he didn't want to lose me and have to start over with someone else. <insert enormous eyeroll> That being said, I hadn't actually applied for that position he was referring to, but he was saying that he was glad I hadn't. But still...right? Also, some managers are just not the best or skillful and really just think of themselves and their own job and aren't in the mindset that having the people under them be successful, also makes them successful - I've had some of those too. People! Right?
Overcast here today, but it's not supposed to rain. I think I'll get myself ready and head on over to the gym. I've been away too long and I need to make myself get back into the swing.
Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone! I'll BBL

Hi again.
I did it!! I got myself into the gym for my first weights session in a while. Thank goodness. I've been saying I'm going to go, but then keep opting to walk instead. For whatever reason my anxiety kept getting the best of me. So glad to have that initial visit under my belt. The next one will now be easier to tackle. Also on the bright side of the topic, I didn't seem to lose any strength, but I did lose a little bit of stamina. I couldn't do as many reps as previously, but I was able to the same amount of weight. I was thinking I might have to back my weights down and work my way back up, but that didn't seem to be an issue.
I think we're going to have bunless mushroom swiss burgers for supper. Well, mine likely won't have cheese so I guess a mushroom burger for me. Ha!
Robin - how wonderful that you were able to enjoy those mushrooms from your very own property! I randomly ran across a FB page for my area that maps out where everyone had spotted morels growing. I think we're at the very end of the season here though. But, I had no idea such groups existed. Lol. But at this point, it shouldn't surprise me. I would guess there is a group for pretty much everything at this point.

Hi Everyone,
Just came home from the dentist. My mouth is still numb. I am hungry and plan on trying to have some soup that is warm. I saved that from the leftovers that my sister gave me the other night.
I didn't want to park across the street again so I decided after last time when my mirror was taken that I would try parking on this street nearby which is residential and my mirror was still on my car thankfully. I didn't know if these two older ladies might say something about me parking there but it is a public street so they really can't tell me I can't. They were about ready to sit down so at least could keep an eye on it.
Robin, I hope that interview works out. It sounds hopeful especially since you worked with the other doctor? Employee?. I forget which. Sorry!
Friday we leave early after the kids leave for a professional development training. We are doing it at home. I just have to make sure that my laptop is fully charged.
Ever since that tech worked on the laptop he got the other issue fixed but now the laptop doesn't shut down all the way. He came back to our school ond day and showed me something but he did it so quickly I really didn't even see what he did. One of these days I'll either call him up and either go to the main office not too far or maybe he can stop by.
Going to try to eat some soup.

Hello All - busy day...gym, walk with DD, BIble study, lunch with DH, helped 2 ladies in my neighborhood get registered for our new HOA management company, then went to the clubhouse to get ACH debit changed to the new management company...whew! I was worn out. I came home and rested for a bit and then went back to the clubhouse for BUNCO. Tomorrow is my light day...all I have is my other book club tomorrow night.
Jana - sorry about the work issues and promotion frustrations!
Lora - yeah for getting to the gym... it is so easy to put it off to another day when you have missed a few days.
Robin - the next interview sounds very promising...good luck!
Janet - glad you found a safe place to park your car and that you get to do your training at home on Friday. Getting to bring leftovers home from you sister's is great...glad you had a good celebration.
Waving to Jill
