WI up .6, really not sure why as I was within my limits but I did eat a bit of sugar. I am sure it will come back off tomorrow.
WO slacker again, and you know how consistent I was for so many months, could be just that it is so dark at 5am and raining just want to stay warm in bed even though I am awake.
Maybe I will try working out when I get home in afternoons and see if that works for me......yeah now that I think about it I will.
Kelli I know what you mean about meeting so many wonderful online people on here. Some come and go and when they return it is always wonderful.
Diana sorry your day was messed up yesterday and you are one busy lady

GrannyNancy congrats on the new low, no harm in making sure you’re not hurting yourself.
GettinFit I am pretty excited, too. Sounds great, I’m not worried about losing points because I eat a lot of the foods that are going zero like beans, mussels, chicken, etc. have fun on the cruise! That’s great you’re looking for a meeting

Good morning. A bit blue today. Daughter's visit to the hematologist was not as good as we hoped. It was a follow up from a preliminary mono diagnosis (Epstein Barr) but her abnormal cells (I think leukocytes) are not as reduced as they want to see and they want to follow up in a month. She had an enlarged spleen and they put her on steroids. So she goes back in another month and is requesting a copy of the blood results so we can do some research to come up with questions to ask. One of my questions will be is "are there tests insurance won't pay for now but could be helpful? If so lets do them". She is not freaking out but it has certainly got us worried. My father had lung, colon and skin cancer, his brother had Hodgkins, and his sister had multiple myeloma and my grandmother had colon. All of this ads to the level of concern as a bone marrow based cancer is a possibility. Her next doctor visit will be shortly before our family vacation in December and near her 35th birthday.
I was just diagnosed with osteopenia but don't have to take medicines. I have asked to get a copy of the report. Only 1% risk of fracture in next 10 years. But I am making sure my calcium is between 1200 and 1500 every day, also taking magnesium and making sure all minerals are in line as well as 2000 D3. Walking and need to do weight training I think but right now the yoga is a lot of core work. Mom had bad osteoporosis. Compared with my daughter it is a minor concern right now.
EDIT-sigh-I do love my husband of almost 37 years but sometimes...when I am sorting out things in my head he has to interrupt me to talk about some trivia or political thing not related to our daily life or things going on and I stress out because I have to stop what I am doing. I am visual, not verbal, and get very focused when I am either writing something or working at my job and the older I get the harder it is to recover focus when distracted.
Qtkitty - there is something that snaps in your head when you break through a barrier. Yay! Qt is an odd thing in a username. I think about the gas station chain QT when I see your name . There must be a story there.
Gettinfit - I have telecommuted since 2006 and love it. I work for the American Red Cross and they have been doing a ton of downsizing in recent years and a large number of staff who work in the background on a computer all day like me now work from home and are not occupying expensive real estate. We used to fly to meetings but now it is the odd meeting that justifies travel with webex and skype being available. Of course some times it can get lonely but I usually run into a neighbor or two when I go walking and we chat for a few minutes.
Nancy - yay for the exercise and figuring out how to incorporate it!
Kelijpa - NICE drop!

November 22
Psalm 147:1, 3
Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
It was more than a diet. For Gary, it was his sanity. He had been obsessed by his weight. He had lived the past three years in a deep and terrible depression. When he was at his lowest, God broke through to him. God turned Gary's life around. He finally began losing weight, and his state of mind improved dramatically. The light of God tore through his darkness with a beautiful healing warmth. Gary was healed of his physical affliction as well as the demon of depression that haunted him. God truly has the power to heal His children. No matter what the problem might be, take it to the Lord.
Today's thought: My diet affects more than just my body; it affects my heart and mind, as well!
grannynancy - I hope your daughter will be okay. Sending prayers your way! Hang in there.
All is good with me, have been tracking my Points and getting my workouts in. The scale didn't move yet but I'm okay with that because I know that eventually it will. I forgot my laptop last night so I had to come into the office to get in and now I'm about to leave and go do my walk before going home.
