    Question of the Week:

    Spring is upon us, what are you super excited to get outside an do now that it's warming up (this is wishful thinking as we just got snow yesterday...it's like spring is here, April fools...)?

    Hoping to get back to swimming and maybe walking a little bit at a time of I can bear it

    @Fyreside we changed some spark plugs and coil packs, but still having issues.

    Hmm, well I'm taking a long distance guess here. But with new plugs and coils, if you still don't have strong spark, check your earth wires. They will be chunky wires or braids that earth your engine to the chassis. There are probably several of them and can corrode or break in older vehicles. lack of a good earth will cause it to run rough. My other suggestion is (if your vehicle has an OBD2 port) https://www.amazon.com/SODIAL-Version-Bluetooth-Diagnostic-Windows/dp/B00BNO1GYG/ref=pd_sbs_107_13?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00BNO1GYG&pd_rd_r=4CJG260Z3PF4EQ8SGN97&pd_rd_w=WZrAo&pd_rd_wg=uURMY&psc=1&refRID=4CJG260Z3PF4EQ8SGN97

    I run one of those and get it to talk to my android phone. They are just a cheapy but good for getting error codes from your car's computer, which you might be able to look up online and find solutions to.

    Your spring is my Autumn and it's my favorite time of the year. It brings with it pleasant temps and the promise of slightly cooler months ahead. Being subtropical, we don't really have 4 distinct seasons, just nice weather most of the year with 2 really hot months and 2 chilly to cold months. that being said, I can't wait to break out of town and spend some weeks in the forest.

    @tinak33 I am definitely going to use that :)

    @mexiconona Welcome back. That ship looks really nice.

    And a general warning to all, I'm stuck here for a few days. Will try to not spam the chat too badly. :*

    Track- No

    Water intake- Does wine count?

    Hi everyone! Hope you had a great spring weekend! I started to track yesterday and did really well until late at night. Then I still probably stayed under my calories for the day due to my exercise but I'm learning to just let go and not worry sometimes. I think it's a good thing. :) Definately going to try and track the rest of the week though!

    Can anyone recommend a good detox? I tried modere and it was pointless. Maybe I don’t have a lot of toxins in me? Who knows. But I’ve plateaued AGAIN and it’s ticking me off. I’m beginning to think my scale is broken. Just reads 190.0 constantly.

    Weekly question.

    I cannot wait to start my gardens. I love gardening. Then afterwards, it’s pool season and beach volleyball. Cannot wait

    Spring...I love this time of year! I love seeing the snow disappear and count down the days to flip flop weather....soon! I don’t even mind cleaning the up (we have two dogs!). I love taking the dogs out and not worrying about them tracking mud or snow through the house. Everything just gets a little easier...no winter coats, no cleaning off the cars, no shovelling etc. And not that I am counting, but there are only about 11.5 weeks til summer vacation!

    I can’t wait to get back in the kayak. It’s so tranquil, it’s good for the spirit and the soul.

    Question of the week
    Would love to go swimming and hiking

    Track yes
    Calories no over
    Exercise no

    Tired of eating well below my calories with even light exercise and not losing so eat my fill today I know this is going to set me back. But I’m just sick and tired of not eating what I want.
    Every night I go to bed “ tomorrow I’m going to start eating better” and sometime in the night the fat girl in me conveniently makes me forget. By the time I remember I’ve eaten something I shouldn’t have. And think well I already messed up as long as I stay below my count I can always start tomorrow
    Something need to change

    You're right.. Eating less than you want day after day and not getting your reward is super frustrating. But you have to give yourself a bit of credit too.. You are here and you are losing, even if it's not the pace you would like. Take heart in the fact that you're moving in the right direction and see about dialing in your process to improve the rate.
    You've got this.
