My vegetable garden. Grow big and strong little plants

@nstephenson01 wow what an amazing garden! it is spectacular!!!
@shirin_k my goodness girl you are on a roll! Look at you sliding down that 150's scale. Good job!
@Cafelelia so glad you are pain free and what a relief that things worked out for your son's friend!
@carlsoda you are on a roll! Doesn't that feel so good vs being a stuck slug?
@pacsnc6 thanks for the book recommendations.
@sleepymom5 so glad MK is there to help you out. As always I am so envious of your lovely life. Biking, walking, kayaking, family and friends...good food and prosecco. You live such a lovely life especially love the shore home!
Hey team...loving all the book ideas. thinking about books that I have read in the past that I loved:
Rebecca an old time classic by Daphne Du Maurier, House of sand and fog by Vadim Perelman, Drowning Ruth by Christina Schwarz. One of my all time favorites for a great summer read Sufficient Grace by Darnell Arnoult...this is the writer I would love to be.4 -
I just had it in my head that I wanted to think again about doing the Appalachian trail. it would be a 6-7 months commitment. I am currently following someone that is 65 female hiking it alone. I love her photos and stories. She has been struggling with weight issues. Now she has traveled all the way to Virginia. It is sad to me that she has lost so much weight on this journey and gained tons of muscle but still laments that she has a "belly". Oh how sad and how relatable.
I changed my mind and instead Molly and I have a 5 year plan. In 5 years we will retire, buy an RV and hit a map of all the best vegan restaurants across the united States! A long the way we plan to also explore bike trails, places to swim, paths for me to run and the best hiking trails! And I don't have to worry about being caught in rain storms and attacked by bears! There are advantages to getting older and wiser.5 -
That's more like it!!
@pacsnc6 I think I need to start making a list of books to read, those sound great!
@nstephenson01 I absolutely agree the way we talk to ourselves is so important! I am glad that you have a good attitude about the slight gain, you have been doing so well so it will eventually catch up on the scale. Your gardens are beautiful! Good luck on the hog today...guess that is a tractor??/
@Shirin_K Nice loss! You are doing fabulous!
@carlsoda Another awesome day!! Keep it going!!
@ljdanny Do you think it could be from the weight training? I know when I start out I usually have a small gain and then it evens out. I know it is frustrating but you are doing awesome. Don't let this small gain derail you.
@Cafelelia I love that you are pain free now. I know that when you started in this group you worked very hard at PT and getting to where you are now.
@Mrsbell8well My brother is on the Appalachian trail right now! He already did from Haper's Ferry to Maine last year but didn't finish. He had about 200 more miles to go in Maine but had to go to the ER with stomach issues that didn't resolve for months. Yes, he did have a water purifier and did all the things he was supposed to but he still got sick. He is an avid hiker and camper. In his younger years he climbed Mt Rainer. He also got a bad case of plantar fascitis even with several hiking shoe changes. He is currently going south from Haper's ferry, he is just walking until his feet start hurting again. I think he is in Shenandoah National Park right now. I like to hike but I don't think I would enjoy doing it all day every day. He just loves it!5 -

All weights for the week need to be posted on our thread by 11:59 pm EST or it is considered a NWI. Sorry, this is the FTF rules, not Cyndie's and mine. Sunday morning is too late.1 -
@sleepymom5 how exciting about your brother. Wow he is one dedicated dude. We live in the Shenandoah Valley. Such a pretty part of the country.0

One bucket list item we're crossing off this summer is going to "big sky country." We leave July 8 for a week of hiking, fishing, kayaking and photography in Montana.
Hubs and I are also privately renewing our vows probably on a mountain somewhere.
NSV today: went through my closet and got rid of a bunch of clothes that were too big, and tried on a bunch I had held on to in the hope I'd fit back into them and they FIT!9 -
@gingerpwr I’m so very happy for you and hubs! Sounds like a new beginning with a new you. What a great feeling to get rid of big clothes and fit into our favorite small ones. And your vacation sounds wonderful! Looking forward to the pics.

Daily check in Thursday
Logged started but no.
Exercise ran at the gym a fast pace 30 minutes. Yoga 26
Steps 13,395
Mom and I went shopping last night. I needed a new bra and a few white t shirts. Ended up skipping dinner since I had a late lunch. Went to bed hungry.
I’m still wearing a 38DD. Geez I’ve lost so much weight but I swear my breasts are growing. I don’t ever remember being this big and never a DD. Oh well. Mom bought me a beautiful white linen dress.
I’m pretty much done with my summer wardrobe. I can’t wait to sort out my closet. My color palette is ivory, taupe, black, white and pink. With a bit of periwinkle for summer.
Big day today at work. Hopefully off early. Frisbee golf tonight with my sweetheart.
TGIF!!!
Happy SUMMER everyone!!! Bikini time.
Anything fun this weekend? My work team is volunteering with an adventure race tomorrow for wounded warriors. 6:45 till 2pm. Then a waterfall hike on Sunday with Molly. I’m planning a gourmet picnic with blackberry hand pies.4 -
Daily check in Honeymoon
Food did ok
Water not enough
Exercise lots of activity
Steps tons!
well i am back from my honeymoon. got back yesterday about 6:30 p.m, Mack was happy to see us. it was a great trip. we went to a quite a few different breweries, the Frederick Meijer Gardens, the gerald ford museum, silver lake and the sand dunes. i am glad to be home. it has been a whirlwind of a week. and just so you know, nobodies coffee is as good as the coffee you make at home. i will post some pics later. just have so much to do right now to catch up with you all. but i do want to let you all know that i have come back recharged and refocused. i am not sure what the new job will entail time wise. i know i will be way busier than i am currently at my job. i will adjust to the change as it happens. still not sure of the time line for the transfer, i will know more when i get back to work tuesday. i am excited as i read thru everyones posts. you are all really learning to change the way you think about life and food. as for my summer plans.... i am going to be busy readjusting to a new job. there will be a lot of mind set changes that come along with that. i cannot wait. i have to get my name changed on all my stuff as well.
i wanted you all to know that i have been reading along while i was gone. i am not going to go back and comment on each and every one of your posts. but know that i have been reading.
Now team business....
challenge ahead!!
it is the weekend team mates! what is your exercise plan for the weekend? many times we are good during the week and slack off on the weekend, our mind frame is i have been good all week. i deserve a break. that is diet mentality. there is no break. this is a life style. so lets treat the weekend like it's a week day. include fun and relaxation but also, good healthy food and exercise and activity.
My exercise commitment for the weekend:
Saturday: yoga outside
Sunday: treadmill

Check in for Thursday
Food-logged but overate and didn't log
Water-a lot, lost count
Exercise and steps- Bike 30 min and walk 20 min Steps around 7800
I am losing my mind on this computer Lol! I posted my weight and it isn't there now. Then I refreshed the page and lost the entire post I was writing...Ugh!! Oh well...Weight I did lose .4 which is actually good since I did go up in weight after the weekend. I was looking back on my week and it was pretty good but could be better. I am over eating on "healthy" things but that still is an awful habit AND those calories add up. I am going to get a notebook and journal when I want to do this. I usually journal on my computer but for these type of things I need a notebook. I also am going to look at my journal and what I am eating. I need to start going down again. Danny's wedding is in November and I would like to be a little smaller. I hated the way I looked at Nicole's wedding. I was so self conscious. I have a lot to think about over the weekend and set up for the week ahead. I also have to call and set up an appointment for this MRI. The only way I can function is taking high does of ibuprofen which is hard on the liver. I do my PT exercises, ice 3 times a day, watch my walking (that seems to bother it the most), and take the ibuprofen every 8 hours. I am back to doing everything I usually do but the walking. I am done with 2 floors with my "spring" cleaning here. I am at the top floor but will probably just get the kitchen done today. I have a lot of other things to do. The rest will have to wait until next week.
This weekends exercise plan-Bike 30 min (need to get out early, it is busy out here), walk with Daisy and hopefully kayak. It is supposed to be a nice weekend.
Have an awesome day everyone!
@GingerPwr What a beautiful setting to renew your vows! What an awesome feeling to get rid of all those big clothes and fit into the smaller ones! Your hard work has paid off!
@Mrsbell8well Sounds like you have a fun Friday evening and weekend planned! Enjoy!
@cyndiesstuff Welcome back!! I am glad to hear you had an awesome Honeymoon! I loved all the pics! The one by the waterfall is beautiful! I agree with you about the coffee statement! Unless there is a coffee shop called Nobodies...Lol! Lots of positive changes are happening for you! I know that there are a lot of unknowns with this new job but anything is going to be better than where you are now. Glad you are back, we missed you!!
@Julie8468 It is not bad maintaining, especially if you didn't have the greatest week. No worries just get right back on track. We look forward to you checking in more however we also understand that life gets busy and sometimes you can't. Just know we are here if you need us!4 -

Good morning everyone, I hope you all have a great day! This week has been good for me I have not done another 24 hour plan but I also have not overindulged. I have been going to classes at the gym, which are so much fun! I will be going again today and tomorrow, I'm so excited about it. Some of the classes don't feel like a workout until a day later when the soreness of my muscle catch up with my body. Enjoy your weekend everyone!7

I will take that little loss. Went for a nice continuous run yesterday which was just amazing. Only 3 km but tried to push on speed as advised by my physio. This weekend, we will have a bday sleepover for my son, so a bunch of 12 & 13 year olds will be here. I have to make about a million pancakes for their breakfast. Wish me luck!
@nstephenson01 - what a nice garden!!
@sleepymom5 - I really hope that you resolve your hip issue soon. I know that the ibuprofen is not great for your liver, but you need to function in your daily life. I recommend having water with a lot of lemon juice daily as that can help your liver.
@cyndiesstuff - you look so lovely & happy on your honeymoon! Best of luck in the new job!!4 -
Omg!!!! i forgot to log my weigh in on Sunday! i am so sorry!
sorry i’ve been missing in action,
i am in full swing of my busiest time at work - summer festivals & events so i’m working 15 hour days and basically just coming home, sleeping, waking up and heading back to work! Even weekends!
i DID weigh in, i just forgot to come record, i was 126.6lbs, which was exactly the same as the week before.
I have not been going to the gym, but i have managed to keep up with food prep for the most part, but I’ve found myself working straight through lunch the last few days - i look up from my computer and suddenly it’s 6pm and I haven’t eaten since breakfast. ugh.
sorry again, and i will not miss this Sunday’s weigh in!4 -

Thursday Check in.
It was a perfect day..beyond perfect! Did not over eat on my 24 hour plan, drank a ton of water and walked 14,000 steps and a little yoga too!
Today's 24 hour plan is done and I'm making enough supper for possible left overs during the weekend. Our niece is getting married tomorrow so no clue on food and I'm not worried about it. I will have a piece of cake - they ordered cakes galore from Costco and they are pretty darn yummy. But...I will have only 1 piece and eat it slowly and enjoy every bite! I plan to get steps if we go to the dance after the reception. Haven't decided if we'll go or just get home for some sleep as Sunday we have family from out east in and want to spend the day with them.
@cyndiesstuff - cute pics!! Where did you go? I figure it was somewhere in Michigan
I do love the sand dunes around Lake Michigan up north of where you live.
Have a great day and weekend everyone!!4 -
Daily Check In: Thursday
Food: Pre-logged, ate as planned
Water: Good
Exercise & Steps: 2 dog walks; 10,444 steps
Happy First Day of Summer!! Its 43 degrees and there is fresh snow on the mountain behind the house.
Rained most of the day yesterday so didn't get to my outside chores as planned. Spent some time reading and finally finished Dr. Greger's "How not to Die". The first half was a slog to get through... a wee bit too draconian for my taste but the title should have tipped me off LOL. Downloaded his daily dozen app and will give it a try. The book did give me some things to keep in mind. Cleaned the house which it needed and took the dogs for a quick after dinner walk to get my steps over 10,000. Today's food is pre-logged. This afternoon I'm putting a tri tip on the smoker. Not exactly summer bbq weather but oh well.
Dog walk, yoga class then grocery shopping is today's plan... gotta get moving. Tomorrow is Farmer's Market day. Meals are planned so I am set up for a good weekend. Just need a little sunshine
Great pictures @cyndiesstuff. What a fun way to spend your honeymoon!!
Wishing everyone a great weekend!!3 -

@lenka1 You look amazing and happy! Glad you had a great vacation!
Friday Check in
Logged all my food today and it's amazing how quickly you can convince yourself that you're not eating that much when you stop logging. Holy cow. No wonder the scale isn't moving.
Breakfast: poached egg on toast with a smear of guacamole
Lunch: a ready-made chef salad from Aldi
Dinner (planned): grilled tuna steak, roasted asparagus, and linguine with garlic white wine sauce
Exercise: push-ups & sit-ups; might do a little yoga before bed
Water: about 40 oz so far
Definitely my healthiest choices in a while. No snacking today. No chips, no fried food.4 -
