Daily Thread, Friday, August 29 - Check In and Let Us Know You're OK

[ssssbar]

Good Morning, Buddies!!!

My ankle is getting better. I'm taking the crutches back today. Not staying off of it much, but what's a Mom to do. :eek: :D

How is everyone doing?? Check in today and let us know. I miss y'all. At least I had a good excuse for not posting. :rolleyes:

I'm down another pound this week. You'd think that the ankle would make me gain weight, but apparently not. Not quite the way I'd recommend losing weight, though. :D

I hope everyone has a great day! graemlins/wave.gif

Hi Susan! graemlins/wave.gif

I've broken my ankle 3...yes, 3 times so I know exactly how you feel! graemlins/sobbing.gif All 3 times were back in my B.C. days when I had a problem with drinking and stairs, same ankle each time too. I have to be real careful of it now because it's so weak. Can you get a walking cast? It's better than crutches. I remember my armpits were so sore from those things, ow! It's amazing how many colors your skins can turn in a matter of days too! Hope you feel better soon!

They are re-paving our street today so I had to get up at 5:30 to park my truck around the corner or I'll be stuck here until 6 tonight. Noone else has moved their cars so I'm wondering why I'm the only one. I have alot of "duh" moments where I do the dumbest things without realizing it so I'm hoping I read the notice right! I took our oldest dog with me and when we came home he slipped on the tile and started crying holding his leg up. I'm going to have to take him back to the vet and see if there is some kind of arthritis pill he can take. I hate to see my baby get old! graemlins/ugh.gif We've had him since he was 4 weeks old and it kills me to think he may not be around.

WI is tomorrow but I "feel" fat! I'm afraid to see the scale. I've stayed within my points except for a couple of days that I didn't feel good, those days I was under. On a good note, we start the Flex plan tomorrow. Hopefully that will fix me right up! graemlins/thumbup.gif

Have a blessed day Buddies!
Chris

Good morning all, just got DH off to work & am thinking about laying back down ... my eye's are so heavy I can hardly keep them open. graemlins/sleep.gif Thought I'd try a cup of tea & maybe have a slim fast bar[2pts] ... see if that would perk me up but if not I guess it wouldn't hurt for me to sleep a little longer this morning.
Wow, broken ankles ... sounds very painful Chris! Susan, did you break yours too or just sprain it? I hear some times a sprained ankle can be just as bad as a break?
Well, yesterday I could have made better food choices ... I think I ate all the wrong kinds of foods from the moment I got up until I went to bed. It wasn't intentional, just seemed to be a bad day for picking healthy choices. I've been trying to eat 3 healthy balanced meals a day, I'm starting off with a cup of HOT tea this morning to get my body readjusted. (OH, don't get me wrong, I did stay within point range ... yesterday.) Just that I ate more starchy, fatty foods then normal. :rolleyes:
For those that don't post on 100+ I should tell you that I started program on the 23rd of July again this year. Up to date I've lost 16.6lbs at my 1st weigh in [I'm weighing myself monthly this time] which is less stressful for me. I guess with having said that I should tell you that I had gained all my weight back that I had lost two years ago graemlins/crazy.gif [plus 12lbs] :mad: grrrrr but God has touched me again & I'm back in the battle. And believe it or not but: "the same missionary lady is working with me again", only this time she is setting up 5 dollar rewards for every 5lbs I lose. She offered other choices, but I wanted to do the home program.(Meetings seem a waste of money when I get more help from BCB then I do them); plus, I don't have to take her money this way even though she offers. She also told me that the Lord asked her to help me again and so she still believed in me even after I stopped believing in myself. graemlins/ugh.gif Let's just say that jump started my motor again! Oh & I left out the part where she said God asked her to stick with me for the rest of my life, to always be here for me, never to give up on me as long as we have breath ... isn't that awesome? Well, I hope I didn't leave anything out ... I did write a book graemlins/clown.gif hope it's understandable! graemlins/crazy.gif Maybe once I get down a little more I'll start posting my weight again, for now I'm to embarrassed. odear.gif

Whoops, sorry Susan ... just saw your thread for broken ankle!

[Glorybess]

Hi Susan,
I'm new and just weighed in this morning – lost 4.4 lb. and can't believe it! i suffered by only eating three times a day for three months and didn't lose that much weight! Thank god for this program.

Sorry to hear about your foot. I'm plagued by a rotator cuff operation that isn't healing as I'd like but at least I don't have to walk on it!

I'm not certain how to to this stuff on the net. Thought I'd start off with your thread.

God bless you good today,

Lorraine

Hi Everyone,
I am back on track also after gaining all but 5lbs of what I had lost back. :eek: I am going to TOPS with my SIL just for accountability but following the WW diet.Susan sorry to see that you broke your ankle.

[basketnurse]

Hi all, sorry to hear about your ankle!! My sister tore the cartilage and had to have surgery a few years ago. She still has swelling and limps, hopefully you will not have that. We will pray for healing.

I was a little depressed with my weigh in yesterday. I had gained 0.2#. I know it was lack of exercise, and lack of water. I did stay within my points range. Flex points was introduced yesterday, so I had that to look forward to and was not dwelling on the gain. I hope this will be my kick in the pants I need.

Susan so glad your ankle is getting better, I have been lifting you up in prayer. Along, with all the other pound prayer partners.

We have had a very busy few days, with getting back into the school schedule, and starting football practice and games. I will be so glad when football is over!! (it just started) We had our first game on Friday nite, and this DD school 1st year with a senior class, it is a new school, and they started out with just freshman an sophmore and added a grade each year. They won their 1st varsity game!!

Hope everyone is doing well.
