Good morning!
Just checking in.
Been a tough week with work and my parents. No real relief in sight.
So challenges this week is to be prepared. Have lunches planned and packed for work. Going to try to make a couple of meals so my parents and my family will have some good options over the next couple of days.
Victories or Celebrations?
Meet up with a dear friend I met over 7 years ago on this board. So good to have someone in the same place on this journey!
Struggling with maintenance but we would not change a thing. Our tool still works when we work our tools. So for you newbies out there, really take advantage of the honeymoon period!
Trying not to let the scale get to me, maintaining, which is good but would love to get back into the 130's, but trying not get discouraged!
Beautiful day today! Going to watch my granddaughter play soccer and hopefully get a walk in too!
Have an amazing day!

I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!
Good Morning LW's!!!!! I ended up going to the ER to get help getting my food down. They gave me something to drink to relax my throat muscles and apparently that worked because when they went in to remove the meat it was gone. My stomach muscles are super sore this morning and I feel like I did a ton of crunches but that is definitely not the case...
(me and exercise don't get along)!! After one day of not eating the scales are down to 118 which is the bottom of my 3 point range and I haven't seen that for awhile. That's only a pound or two under my usual weight (which will be back tomorrow morning) but it looks good for a few minutes....
I'm not sure what my eats are going to be today. I'm going stick with liquids and soft foods for today.

I'm super sore today but my scales are at 118 this morning and I haven't seen that number for a long time. I bounce from 119-120 on an every day basis.

I spent of the day at the hospital getting unstuck. What a miserable feeling that is!! I'm at home now sipping on tea to calm down my throat.
Sounds Good Gina!

Good Morning LW's!!!!! I got food stuck again last night at Dinner. Suffered all night and even my liquids came back up. It seems to be easing up some and I just got my Protein drink down. I'm going to stick with liquids today.

Good Morning LW's!!!!! WOW this week went fast!!! All day yesterday I kept thinking it was Wednesday and now I have to jump to Friday....LOL. I had to have my pap smear done over yesterday and boy did that hurt!! She made sure she took enough samples this time around and I'm still cramping from it. I loved the scale when I got my weigh-in at her office and this morning I loved it even more!! DH keeps telling me my scale is off but it matches the Drs. perfectly.
