I'm in! Big GI doctor's appt in a few weeks. Want to be down five pounds by then. Lisa-I'll PM you tomorrow. I promise!

I know, I know, I disappeared for far too long. Things have been really busy lately. My grandmother spent Christmas night at our house. Wow, was that difficult! She has Alzheimer's and lives at a nursing home and really didn't understand that that day was Christmas. It was heartbreaking. There...

I haven’t. I’ve been really reluctant to try anything lately. I have a big meeting I am leading next week at work and I was hoping to wear some makeup that day. I’ve already decided to go out this weekend to search for makeup once I have the results of the testing. Thanks for the suggestions! :)...

Hello! I actually stayed up past midnight last night! I can't tell you the last time that happened. ;) I was at a friend's house and we one of those word association type games. I couldn't stop :lmao: It was a good way to wind down before going back to work tomorrow. I spent the night and got...

I have tried various different plans. I did WW for a while and I lost a lot. I've gained it all plus back. I've tried going back to WW, but I didn't like either of the 2 revisions to the program I tried. I am thinking about trying the newest WW program out beginning next week. This week revolves...

Good Morning! I have lots of ideas for 2013. I haven't decided which to make as my first goals. Right now, I'm working on increasing my steps to 10,000 per day, with a particular focus on Saturdays and Sundays. I get to 10,000 steps about 3x Monday-Friday, so I know this is a goal I can...

Love it Lisa! Exactly what I needed this morning! About a month ago, I bought myself a FitBit. I bought the $100 one that also tracks sleep. I really wanted it for that reason, but I am loving the pedometer features. It tracks the percentage of my day that I'm at varying active levels. I also...

Christmas Eve and Christmas day were okay-the usual drama. If my relatives were better about following my mother's and grandmother's directions, things would go so much more smoothly. My mom says I should expect that to happen, but I guess I think that will be part of the "magic." Oh well. My...

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, whenever/if you celebrate! Will try to check in tomorrow...I have no idea what I've been doing. LOL

The last 30 hours or so (I found out about the tragedy during my lunch break) have been exhausting. I am still at a loss for words. I saw a few friends today (at church) and we chatted a bit. They each work in a school in CT and I know Monday will be hard for them. I also have another friend who...

Thanks Lisa! I knew I could come here and share. Definitely been a rough day. The tragedy in my state has me at a loss for words. We talked about it a lot at work. My coworkers and I took the time to pause and reflect on how devastated so many parents must be right now. I know I appreciated...

Very busy-again! I had my blood work on Thursday and now have some of the results. My fasting glucose, glucose tolerance, and insulin levels are all normal. I am very excited about the my fasting glucose being normal. I had mixed feelings about not having hypoglycemia. I have definitely had some...

Hi Everyone! Finally getting to check in here. I don't know where the days have went lately. I've been really busy at work and we spent Saturday and Sunday at my grandparents' helping them with things. Not much is new. I need to have "some" blood work. I need a peanut/tree nut allergy...

We got power back sometime during the night. Very happy about that. Last year , we spent 10 days without power. I ended up going to my grandparents' after about day 5 of no power. I was very thankful for their invite. I was hoping to stay and chat, but my parents decided to throw an impromtu...

Doing well, but no power. It looks like the power companies in CT are not estimating when it will be restored, so I'm fearing the worst and hoping for the best. My sister has power and we are eating with her tonight. My BIL grilled some lean steaks. Hope everyone is doing well!

It's been wonderful being your coach for the past week or so. I love coaching and it was great to be able to find a week when I could commit to it this challenge. I missed it during the Summer Challenge. Hope you have a great week! Stay dry and :goodvibes and pixiedust: for electricity.

:hug: The leaves are so beautiful this time of the year! :) Hope you got some restful sleep! :goodvibes Funny you should mention soup! I've been eating it for lunch and it is so warming. :cool1: Thanks and you're welcome! :) I am excited to share that the coaching effect lives on...

Busy day here. My sister came over and we went shopping. She realized that she had some sale to catch at CVS so we also got flu shots while were there. I had a hunch her insurance covered it, but the APRN at the Minute Clinic there said mine does too! Sweet! :yay: My brother-in-law came later...

QOTD for Sat. 10/27 & Sun. 10/28: What is your favorite part about fall? I love pumpkin! The temperature right now is really comfortable too.

:goodvibes Raw chicken isn’t my thing either. :sick: Chicken on salad is always a winner in my book! :thumbsup2
