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 Fantastic Friday to all of you.
I am work from home today and hoping I can sneak out a little early. We have a couple of days of no rain and I want to spray the weeds. We have another busy weekend ahead with DGK activities. Also, the neighbor officially got her pool open yesterday and it is supposed to be 82 on Sunday. I want to get EVERYTHING done so we can sit by the pool. We obviously won't get in it because the water will still be fridged, but we have some of the most interesting convos and giggles around the pool.
Lora, I am glad you got the gutter situation sorted out. Sorry to hear about the in-laws, and really hope they will do what they need to do to get better. I know it is worrisome. Daddy's current cold is all in his chest and he is coughing a LOT. He is taking Robitussin cough syrup at night and then tablets during the day every 12 hours. If he starts to run a fever or get other symptoms, I will haul him off to see his PCP. Sorry the siding is going to take so long - everything takes SO long anymore.
Susie, I had to LOL at Janet's energizer bunny comment. You do have so much energy and I think that is great. Haven't heard you mention roller skating at any of the games lately - have you done that lately? I believe that was just basketball games, right? Also how is DH feeling? You had mentioned he had not been feeling well.
Janet those fire drills are worrisome and frustrating, but I suppose they need to test them at all times of the day to make sure everyone is prepared and ready in the case of an actual emergency. The last 2 hotels I stayed at had fire drills. The first one was at 2 am - and I was NOT happy about that, especially since I felt like the hotel was a bit sketchy to begin with and I had to go outside at 2 am
Robin how did your interview go? How are you doing this week?
Jill thinking of you and hoping you are feeling better. Sending you positive healing vibes.
Waving to everyone!

Good morning and happy FRIDAY!! We stayed up a little later than normal watching the first round of the NFL draft and as a result I slept a little later than normal. but I feel like I slept well. First thing this morning I replaced DHs headlight bulbs that both went out. IDK why his car is so hard on those, but glad it's done. I bought a different brand this time, so hopefully these will be better. Not really sure what the rest of the day looks like. I'm holding off on the gym b/c I think DH wants to go to the track when he finishes up with work, so I'll do my thing then. The sun is out and it looks to be a nice day here. I hope everybody else has favorable weather as well. I'm getting excited thinking about the new siding and gutters and how the colors will totally change the look of the house  Janet - I suppose those kinds of drills are probably best done at the worst possible time (nap time) to ensure that your group can make it out under difficult circumstances. I'm sure it's annoying and throws a wrench into your whole day though. I'm guessing there was zero chance of getting the kids to settle back down afterwards. Lol. Not much news from here at the moment. MIL messaged me that they are "so sick!" but to be honest, they are very dramatic about every little thing, and you never really know at this point whether they're really in bad shape or being overdramatic. I hate to say that, but so many times they have acted like they were just in the worse shape ever and I've offered to bring them meals or run to the store for them or whatever and they're like...No, we'll just go get takeout. Ummm...okay. Anyway, we'll see I guess. Waving to everyone and hoping you all have a wonder Friday to kick off a fabulout weekend. |

Lora I had to LOL at the over dramatic. Daddy told me this morning "I'd have to die to feel better" <eyeroll> so I feel your pain on that one.
Today is his 3 year sober anniversary. We are taking him out to Texas Roadhouse for dinner - just about his favorite place to eat ever.
Day has been super busy but productive.
I probably will not check in over the weekend but I will be thinking of you all.

Jana - Texas Roadhouse sounds like just the spot for his celebratory dinner. Enjoy!
Mark keeps asking me what I want to do tomorrow, but I'm just not sure. I don't want to let it slip by me without doing a little something special, but I just can't think of anything special that I want to do. Maybe I'll come up with something between now and tomorrow.

We planning a trip to Michigan in mid-May. I just booked our hotel, have reached out to the vet to set up boarding for CC and DH is working on the rental car situation. We've been wanting to go, but stuff keeps coming up, so we decided to just go ahead and book it and make it happen. Especially since it looks like we may be tied up with the house stuff coming up So,something else to be looking forward to for us. Yay! |

Hello All - after my gym class, I met my DS at a local mall (Short Pump Towne Center - Jana will know). We then had lunch at a place DD had suggested (Buttermilk and Honey) and I got a GF fried chicken salad....wow...GF fried chicken... I was in heaven. I stopped at Kroger on the way home to pick up some doggie treats for the "birthday celebration" we are going to for the doggie that lives in the house behing us - lol!
Jana - DH is feeling better - he got the cold that I had, but it was not as bad for him. He had an eye appt and is losing more vision in his right eye (Glacoma), but so far the left eye is still good. As far as the roller skating goes...someone from the school where I taught used to give me a "heads up" about the basketball game (students vs faculty), but I haven't heard anything for the last year or two so I haven't gone with my skates and my sign (GO FACULTY). I actually laughed out loud when I read about Pops saying he would have to die to feel better!
Lora - I can feel your excitement about the new house colors!
Waving to everyone....

Hi Everyone,
Actually my kids did ok. Most students least rested quietly if not actual sleeping. We gave them a few extra minutes to rest. The other class didn't go back to sleep though.
We had a short meeting before leaving and being that I am the farthest from the center I got home late and then even though I forwarded the email to my regular email address I couldn't find it even by searching. So started at first on my phone. I remembered then that I forwarded it from our director's name and found it and was able to get in on my laptop. We ended by 3 pm. Yeah! Of course despite several reminders only one parent was early coming to pick up their child.
Well, we are going back to the same place we went to last year for a trip and if they aren't there by 8:30 the bus is leaving by 9. They can meet us there if they want though. It's about 45 minute drive though.
I am not sure if I mentioned it but maybe I did. The boy who is Autistic will be staying at our center for the remainder of the year. He was originally accepted to a different program but his mother wants him to stay with us as he has made a lot of progress since he started last year and the transition back and forth between two programs during the day may be too much. The other program is only half day plus his mother works all day so this fits her needs as well.
Ok, have a good rest of the day. May bbl later.
P.S.- At the meeting I asked our director if we were going to know about any changes in staff before we go on our break. She said no. We would find out when we got back. There are are of course pro's and cons. My partner not knowing went ballistic. She said she will quit ( as per usual even though she is in severe debt). She doesn't want to be put in a certain class with a certain teacher. She mentioned also that they were going to have 2 toddler classes. I hope they are getting new staff for them. I don't think any of us want to do that. Ugh!!

Hello everyone, I got on and wrote a long post this week, and then poof! it was gone. I had to just let it go for the moment  Jana, have fun by the pool this weekend! I hope DF feels better soon, but I'm glad he is home with you for the moment. 3 years is a phenomenal accomplishment! I love Texas Roadhouse, too. Janet, it does sound like the autistic child will be better off with you all. I hope you have a good weekend ahead. Susie, GF Fried Chicken sounds fantastic! Glad you had a nice lunch. Lora, the colors sound great. I am still enjoying all the new changes I've been making here. I couldn't believe how excited I was about getting the painting done! I'll bet the draft was really fun for DD and her DH. I watched some of it, too. Yesterday morning I had my virtual interview with a Hematology/Oncology office and it went really well. The job was right up my alley, because I would be starting IVs for cancer treatments and different medication infusions, as well as running patients for a doctor, and it sounds like the office is really nice. Then this morning I went into Frederick for an in-person interview with several office managers from a practice through the hospital. Well, it turns out that one of the managers is the one I want to work with, with my friend that I used to work with! It was a great meeting, and I am going in next week to shadow around and get the lay of the land, so to speak. I am going to accept this job. It is also Hematology/Oncology and infusions, but some different teamwork things. The first job reached out to me today to ask if I could come meet in person next week and look around the office...I told her that I was going to accept an offer at a different office, but I hated to do that. I am also happy to say that I will be making WAY more money at this job, than I was making at my old one! I will be working more hours, but I am looking at it as just making more money. I'm pretty excited. Then I found out today that a Nurse Practitioner that I worked with at my old job has an interview next week at the same office! Small world. Tomorrow I am taking my mom's silver and some collectibles to an auction house for them to sell. I feel terrible about this...I have to remember that if I hang on to these things, when I am gone, my DDs will sell it all in a heartbeat. It is painful to know how hard it was for my mom to collect these things over the years, and how much they all meant to her, so I have been dragging my feet. I know that whoever buys them at auction really wants them and will treasure them, too. I'm going to get off of here and get something for dinner. I didn't sleep great last night, but maybe tonight I will, especially knowing that I have found my job. Have a great evening everyone! I'll be back, RobinMD |
