WOW $1200 is a HUGE thing for your HSA!!! That would be awesome to have in your arsenal for the up coming year! To bad they don't give out that kind of scratch for losing weight on your pay check!

My knees have become so "bony" that it is now too uncomfortable to have my legs on top of each other while I sleep on my side. Makes the knee on top feel like it's resting on a wooden table.
One of the reasons I sleep with a pillow between my knees! Congrats to your boney self!

Yes, it is strange. Two flavors is not much of a variety! Doesn't bother me much, 'cuz I LOVE the Snicker-ish one!

I get mine at my local BJ's club. It is weird, though; each of the clubs we visit (we sit midway between three, so which one we hit depends on other errands, etc.) carries different varieties at different times. Strange.

I wish LOL, but the HSA benefit will be nice too incase anything happens!

You are all great for the support you give in this forum. I learn something with reading the forum everyday. Have been busy at work the last 5 days so have not been able to get on until tonight. Thanks all for the support.

My coach says my HSA will pay for my IP food. I haven't tried it yet but plan to.

Reading, reading, and reading! I'm recovering from some flu/virus & haven't been out due to it & the super cold. Glad to be out of bed! Hoping today I can get to the store to start IP! I haven't been eating much since being so sick, mostly soup, water, a few nuts, few veggies. I so hope to get out of house today!

I'm grateful to this forum and all of you ! Amazing !

Happy Friday fellow IPeeps! Boy, it this week has felt VERY long. Maybe that is because it is the first full week I have worked in a while due to the holidays.

Anyway, I woke up this morning feeling like maybe I have "turned the corner" on the cold I have been fighting. I hope everyone else who has been ill begins to feel better soon.

Happy Friday Everyone ! I feel pretty tired this week which is normal on week 1 but I am trying to push through. I am reading as many posts as possible to help me stay on the positive side.

Seriously! On Tuesday, I thought it was Wednesday. Then on Wednesday I was convinced it was Thursday. Let's just say, I'm SO happy it's Friday!

EMS - I went through the same thing. This is my long weekend - I have Monday off. I work an adjusted schedule so I work extra hour every day and get every other Monday off. Boy am I ready!!! Have a good weekend.

Chinookgirl - you can do it! It is hard the first week or two with the energy/fatigue factor, but it does get better. Make sure you eat your salt, drink your wanter, and if you need to eat some lettuce between meals or break you meals up. Sometimes that helps. Most days I eat 1/2 my protein at lunch so that I have the energy (and brain power to get through the afternoon).

Happy Friday to those of you with regular ppl jobs!
I'm sitting here enjoying a little bit of piece and quiet, just me and the snugglebulls. Working on a 24oz glass of water, I anticipate a busy work day so I want to be ahead of the game. I've noticed that my busier days I tend to be short on my water. Hopefully this will help.

Going to throw a pork tenderloin in the crockpot for shredded pork, and that should get Honey and through the weekend. It's finally warming up a bit around here but we may see some ran today. Oh well! Rainey days mean busier casino

Hope everyone has a good one!

ColoradoCarol, I wish! A couple of my friends in the oil field work like that but I'm a design intern so I work when my boss works.

Nolasmurf...I hear ya on this warmer weather. I thought Lafayette was going to shut down because it can't handle the 20 degree temps. But this fog...whoa! Could barely see this am!
