Oh my goodness how I could snuggle that Chonk! We have one feral who looks that size but sadly she is long haired and badly matted because we are the Devil Incarnate and aren't allowed in her presence. She's still holding a grudge from her TNR ten or so years ago. I've always been terrible remembering numbers.
We don't have a trail cam but need one, we are having a new visitor to the feral's feeding station who is cleaning the food completely. I think it's a new racoon, we haven't seen any new ferals. Maybe it's a bear.
Hi! I've totally missed seeing what you've said about redoing the chairs at work. Are you re-doing the wood finish or re-upholstering the seats? My mom's dining room chairs really need to be redone but without Joann Fabrics now there isn't a place to buy the foam locally so I can feel the quality. If you're replacing cushions could you say where you got it?
It is a beautiful Fall day here with bright blue skies and crisp temps. So instead of working on putting the garden to sleep I'm going to sneak away to our nearest thrift store. The pair of pants I turned down now has possibilities in my mind so crossing fingers they're still there. I'm having fun upcycling garments.
QOTD: Nutritionix, a freebie that has been easy for this technophobe.
The scale still isn't moving. I'm projecting good thoughts and can just imagine stepping on it one morning and it will really move to make up for being sluggish now.
B: my protein/collagen shake. That is going to have to change soon because it makes me too cold.
L: not hungry
D: Hopefully the last serving of the beef cubelets and veggie 'soup'.
LS: The Problem Child. Maybe a cup of FF, SF Greek yogurt and a scoop of Fuzzy Navel again. That was really delicious yesterday and a good protein punch.
Have a great weekend, hope the weather is perfect for watching Mason's football.
That looks like my bear. Last night it was raccoons running through my yard, at least 2 possibly 3. Almost all of the intruders are animals.
I woke to my back aching so I sat in my recliner for a while with the heating pad. I got the job finished that I was working on, so I accomplished something.
QOTD- I used to use my Fitbit but I haven't tracked for a while. I need to get back into the habit.
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning y'all.
Not a lot happening today. My mom is just off her rocker the past few days. I am so stressed out it's not even funny. I don't even know what to do anymore. Anyways...
I hope to be able to be home for a bit today. I need to finish my closet.
QOTD: I use Lose It! The premium price is reasonable for features bigger names offer too. It's not perfect but for the price I love it. When I try others I always go back to it.
B: eggs, cheese and coffee + a damned raisin oatmeal cookie.
L: likely some ham and raw broccoli
D: ???
Good Friday Morning Gang. We had to take boiler 1 down late yesterday afternoon due to an external boiler tube leak. They made the repairs overnight and we are starting it back up now. I'll be working on the chairs again today only got a few done as I kept getting interrupted with things. Not much else going on that I'm aware of.
We might be going to watch Mason practice football tonight and possibly go watch his game tomorrow. Plans for the weekend are finishing the baby rabbits cage to move them from their mom's, break down some more of the garden, and of course watch some football on Sunday. The 49'ers and Rams was a good game last night.
QOTD: For those of you who track your meals, exercise, etc. what do you use? When I first had WLS I had a nice tracking booklet that I use for a good year. Then I moved to Myfitnesspal which I used for a while. Now when I do track (which is something I really need to back to doing) I use my Fitbit.
B: coffee and Protein shake
L: bok choy soup
D: eggplant rollups with ricotta cheese
No Y tonight. But I did hit the treadmill in the basement for 20 minutes this morning.
Have a great day and weekend everyone!!

My goodness! I am so so sorry to hear of your fall! I hope your recovery goes smoothly!
I'll second the recommendation to ask them about Contrave or the generic form which is Bupropion and Naltrexone. In the first 24 hours it was like a switch was flipped in my brain that shut off the food noise, improved my mood and my outlook on life to include feeling hope again after so many years living with regain. It does have a lot of unpleasant but temporary side effects, I gritted my teeth and am now down 51 pounds since May. This was the first time I really logged like you are doing and am counting macros.
Hope you'll get some help at the clinic to find something else to try that will work for you. Please come back and let us know what you decide to do.
Oh I'm so sorry to hear about your fall and the painful injuries. Glad you have a recliner to get some rest in without as much pain as the bed causes. Have you tried Arnica products before? The surgeon who did my sinus gave me the pill form, which I'd never heard of...just the gel. Amazon has both forms. First time I used it was for bruising after breast reduction surgery...the lipo that Dr. did made it feel and look like a baseball bat beating. Arnica gel really healed the bruises faster than he'd ever seen. Sure hope that is a product you aren't allergic to as it is considered a natural homeopathic remedy.
Hope whatever methods you can find comfort from will help the healing time pass quickly.
What kind of buttons are you looking for? I have all sorts of stuff in my office including a bag of assorted buttons. Some of them are unusual. If you want them I'll send them to you just pm me you're address.

Hi, Happy Thursday! Cool and overcast here. Forecast says we'll have a light frost by Sunday evening. That will bring on the rest of the Autumn colors. Yay! Hope your heatwave isn't too hot. I love pulling out all the cozy clothes for this time of year but now, they don't fit haha.
QOTD: I used to but now with losing weight again I'm cold almost all the time (except for hot flashes). Hubby's preference is to have the bedroom window open all year except snow season.
B: Splurge! 2 cups of coffee (1 was decaf) with 2 T half and half in each cup. It tasted so delicious!
L: FF, SF Greek Yogurt with 1 scoop of Syntrax 'Fuzzy Navel' protein mixed in. Also delicious!
D: I'll make myself eat a repeat of last night's dinner (the sorta-soup of roast beef bits w/veggies) and plan for the evening food noise which has come back.
Back to the sewing room to work at getting it all cleared to sew some new clothes.
