First of all, thank you all so much for the positive response to my last video. That made my day. I was so nervous to post. I had tried so many times and ran away screaming. LOL It still doesn't feel real that this doc appointment went so well. It will take awhile to sink in. I'm used to getting the opposite news. LOL I'm very thankful and it gives me a lot of motivation to keep trucking along. You truly just never know where time will take you. It's been a really rough last few years and I never thought I would be where I'm at now. I'll just keep concentrating on what I can do today and go with it. If there is anything specific y'all would like me to talk about in future rambles, let me know. I won't guarantee I will if it is something I don't feel comfortable discussing, but I am open to suggestions as I know a lot of time has passed. I want to do a video just of the cats so y'all can see how they are getting on. I just have to figure out how to go about that. I will just tell you that they are even more spoiled. I spent the morning making them a cat tower out of big shipping boxes that I've been saving. Used 6 boxes! They are all in their own cubby at the moment. My day is already made. :) I hope y'all have a fabulous weekend!

Congrats on your appointment! My sister is on the same road. She's been dedicated to the gym and eating healthy. Shes got a ways to go but shes doing it! I'm so proud of you both! That's such a huge life change and not everyone is cut out for it. Great job girl!

Thanks so much! ❤❤❤ We do have an accent here for sure. (The best one to me tho I'm biased lol)

That is great news that you are getting off of the icky meds!!!🤗 That is so funny how you strategize what place to go to for your coffee...I think most of us probably get stressed out like that being out in traffic!😵 It is still funny to hear you actually talk about it!😹💕 Wouldn't it be awesome if we could all have a group chat during all time in traffic and talk each other through every move?!?😹 You made me want cabbage!!!😹 That cabbage pancake sounds GOOD!!!😋

Thank you! So far so good being off them for the first time this weekend. (I was too scared to start during the week lol). I really do overthink getting coffee and everything. Never met an issue I couldn't turn into a whole 100 page report if I could LOL. A chat would be great! They need to invent that! It would be much better than me just talking at myself 😂

P.S. I just remembered there's a carnivore/keto "bread" made with eggs & cheese that you can make in a waffle iron. I think there's a third ingredient (cream, maybe?) or somesuch. It's not the same as real bread, of course! I'm sure it's good, tho. Especially with bacon. Ha!

Oh I think I've seen those. Chaffles ir something like that? I need to add those to my recipes to try list. Thanks!

LED Lights kill my eyes! Something that helped was getting those "night driving glasses." They're yellow and fit over your regular glasses and are good even on a cloudy/rainy day when people have their headlights on. Walmart has them, but they're cheaper on Amazon--about $10-ish. NOTES: I read a thing about how handwriting notes vs. tippy-tapping on a computer is actually better for recalling information. I'm a compulsive note-taker. I can't NOT take notes! But that's also being a more visual person where you know where it is in the notebook or on a bulletin board. WHY: I learned from Cas at Clutterbug about Gretchen Rubin's 4 Tendencies. Take the quiz, but I'm betting you're a "Questioner." Questioners need to know why. It's part of our motivation as well as how we understand things. I would guess your former work boss was an "Upholder" who just wanted you to do the thing because it was the thing that needed to be done. Ha! CATS! We need to see your DIY cat tower!!! 🙂

Thanks for the tip about the driving lenses! I'm going to look those up bc it is brutal! I want to meet w who ever invented those LED headlights. I got words lol. And I am going to look up that quiz. How interesting! I always have to know why. Like I'll respect someone's orders but I have to know that it's just not busy work or that there is a purpose or something. Has gotten me in trouble a few times LOL. And I hope to show the cat box tower soon. I think I'm going to just do a house vlog the next time I'm the only one here. Not sure when that will be but I'll keeping a note. Hope to catch the indoors and the outdoors. Hopefully it will be daylight too. I'm over this getting dark at 5. lol Hope you're having a good weekend!

@@ItsJennAgain I'm totally with you on the busy work! And those glasses are magic--I had stopped driving at night, and now I can because of them. 🙂

I'm glad that your doctor's appointment went well! I can't drink black coffee especially with no sugar in it.It's to bitter.I drink mine with creamer.I'm one of those people who never drinks water.I only drink iced tea and pop.Can't drink water for breakfast on an empty stomach because it makes me feel like throwing up and to me water doesn't go well with a meal.I would like to see videos of your new orange cat.Do any of the old outdoor cats that you used to feed still come by?I would still like to see videos of you feeding them.Did your Dollar Tree increase the price to $1.25?What do you think about that?

Thank you! I have never been a sweets person. I like just bitter old black coffee lol. Another reason I was shocked when I found out I was in the diabetic range. I don't even really like sugar lol. I'm boring old water and black coffee 95% of the time. I hope to film the cats once I am home by myself so I can show them all. It's rare but I'm hoping very soon. Ollie is super fluffy and orange tok. He's a real cutie. We do still feed and look after the wilder cats outside. Most are the same. They are still around and staying healthy. Some are getting up in years too. It's great. Since we got them all fixed and vaccinated they have been thriving. We have a couple neighbors w their own little colonies as well. The whole neighborhood has embraced the cats. It's cool to see. I haven't been to dollar tree since the increase, but I bet it has! How crazy is that? Our dt closes super early bc staffing issues so they are always closed when I get out of work 😭 Hopefully someday I'll get to go back. They just opened a new one about 15 minutes from my work I want to go in. Hope you have a great weekend! ❤

That is GREAT about the kitties!!!😻💖 I am just like Elly May...I want to take care of every animal...especially the poor stray kitties...even though I have 14 of my own!!! (I share them with my hubby and kid!)😹💞

YT doesn't want me to be happy... I didn't get a notification. So I'm going to unsub and resub and see if that helps. I love coffee, too....So good. And yes, there is a connection between the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry. Both want us sick. I'm like you, I don't do anything fancy. Last summer, my herbalist prescribed me Paleo, gluten free, dairy free. I'm super lazy. And I never search paleo recipes anymore because it's like they all require weird ingredients, a food processor and they just sound gross. I just keep things really simple and it works well with my laziness. I do cheat a little and use a little peanut oil to cook with. Butter sneaks in there with stuff at restaurants, but it's not a big deal. I love eating like this. ❤ Bacon grease 😍 yes!!!

I totally agree on weird ingredient recipes. I skip so many bc I'm not paying 20 bucks for some weird ingredient to put in something that I'm making to be healthier lol. I did that w chicken noodle soup. finally found a recipe that just did cabbage cut in strips in stead of noodles. not some weird modified noodle expensive thing LOL. and bacon grease makes everything so much better and if you already cooking bacon, it's free

How did you lose 100lbs honey?

I hope to talk more in future videos but mainly changing my nutrition and how I eat gradually when I found out I was insulin resistant type 2. 95% of the exercise I did last year was just gentle walks on my breaks at my old job. Also a big part was just being really honest with myself and doing things that actually fit with my life and and provide what I need not just what some fitness guru says. Been a game changer. 😊

You look so thin!!!
