    Barbie My DH is a serial health gadgetist. He buys all kinds of healing technology, uses them a few times and leaves them wherever he last used them. I could open a healing center lol!
    Michele thanks, I like the pool idea. I did some yoga this morning. My back felt better but it hurt my neck hahaha.
    KarenOntario Welcome and wondering Canada?
    Lanette I love Rhodos! Mine are small and sad.
    DanaLove the quote and thank you!
    Becca you rock girl!

    So my daughter and I are making mushroom risotto for the first time. Hopefully it turns out. I think I am a little high on the wine fumes lol!

    Windy and rainy AGAIN. Will be doing a sun dance shortly.

    Have a great evening!

    Katla Awe thankyou for the foodie compliment! I love the layering of textures, and tastes. Tonights salad will be the pumpkin seeds, cranberries and diced strawberries with spinach, iceburg lettuce, and turkey slices on the side. I recd some poppy seed dressing from one of the food banks and I'm loving it!

    June Accountability
    Progress - Monday, June 5th

    ✔1. Carbs 50-75g (limit 25g/meal)
    (B23, L0, D7, AS6, BBS25 = 61)
    ✔️2. Fiber 30g (32g)
    ✔3. Track/complete entry daily
    ✔️4. Vegetables - big salad daily
    5. Exercise - log 30 Fitbit minutes
    6. No eating after 9pm.
    7. In bed by 12am
    ✔8. Zone work - 15 minutes daily
    ✔9. Monthly tasks bingo (24 tasks)
    ✔10. Art Challenge: Daily ICAD

    • Exercise. I really need to get moving. I'll do my 30 minutes today. I need to just do it. I'll probably do the Leslie Sansone Walk at Home videos. Those get my heart rate up.

    • No eating after 9pm. Thought about changing this goal to "12 hour overnight fast". Sometimes if I'm busy - I'm late to eat and late to bed. But... I DO want to stop eating by 9pm AND get to bed at a decent hour - which for me is midnight. I'm retired. I'm often up late with my sweet Mama (90). So... it's not always possible to get to bed earlier. I'm okay with that as long as I make the effort to wind down (helps Mom wind down too) and get to bed earlier.

    I'm getting my zone work done. This week is Zone 2: Kitchen. Monday - I cleaned out a cabinet, wiped cabinet door fronts and cleaned to pantry door.

    Also worked on my Bingo tasks... projects. Some of these tasks are slow going... inch by inch - depending on actions from other people.

    Hi, I'm just starting back on MFP. I never really got started before so I'm feeling my way around. Nice to see an over 50 group. Do you still have room for another member?

    Liz-Anna

    :) Welcome, we are glad you joined us. There is definitely room for you. Please tell us more about yourself and join in the conversation. We share ideas and encouragement with each other. Each of us remembers how it felt to be starting on the journey. Many of us have been on the road for a long time and others are newer.

    I'm currently reading the book The Blue Zones Solution by Dan Buettner. Saw him on The Today Show all last week and was intrigued. It's about eating and living like the world's healthiest people. Has anyone else read this?

    evening ladies~
    now I sorta know i might be stretching it, but my intuition makes me think not.. I cant get to the lawyer quick enough.
    so awhile back I told you he bought Mary Chapin Carpenter tickets for up in Maine, it is dinner and the show.. on August 5th.... soooo he texts me to say oh I think im going to go to Watkins Glen this summer, well gee its the same weekend as the concert, and he sold his watkins glen tickets last year.. soooo I am guessing that he might be taking his lady friend up to Maine for the weekend and I will think he is in Watkins Glen.. he thinks he is pretty slick..(NOT) came home and didnt say a word to him, and he asked if everything was ok >:)

    Been there, girl. It is not fun. They think they are so clever. Hugs.

    Well didn't really feel like making a salad, so I just ate everything separately!

    Wrapped the lettuce around my turkey, with the cranberries and pumpkin seeds tucked inside with a dot of dressing. It was a fun meal!

    Pip, You Rock!

    Allie, Hugs friend. Know you are stronger than you can even imagine. Know that this process will leave you feeling empowered. Some things I have noticed since you and I became friends: You sound stronger within your self when your life isn't inter mingled with Tom. He limits your potential. You, my friend are stronger than him. Throughout this process, you will prevail, and he will become more disillusioned. These are just observations but know we all care bout' YOU!!
    Luv ya!

    A pic of our old RV, that was parked across the street, ( before the bank took it). Found this on my manager's Facebook page so I saved it! Elk seem to like the RV!

    LizAnna: We always make room for a new friend. Welcome to a great group. Tell us a bit about yourself. :flowerforyou:

    It has been a good day. I have my car back, we got DH's car washed but it still needs some attention, and we had a lovely evening on the deck. I had a conversation with DD on the phone and she'd like us to visit her in Illinois in September. That might be just right for us. I hope we can make it work. We're planning on a road trip. We want to visit friends in Montana and see natonal parks along our way. Mount Rushmore is on our list.
