    Another see-saw week. This week I'm focusing on writing my feelings each morning instead of eating them. Just a couple of times per day I'm eating something from stress/boredom instead of thinking about why I'm eating. Just an extra 500 calories per day is a pound for the week. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

    @Firefly743 Great loss!

    @Katmary71 Thanks! I do not have any friends at the WW meetings but I just started going to them again after all this time so I haven't had a chance to make any. In the before times, I did have friends in the meetings. It was always nice to see them. During art day yesterday, my husband drew with pencils and I did a watercolor illustration of some lemons. That would be great to paint rocks with your friend! Playing music IS special...I would love to be able to play music, but I just don't have that gene. What instruments do you play?

    @Cornanda Yeah you are right...and sorry for your gain, HUGS to you for what you are going through!

    @TeresaW1020 I just used some watercolors and Micro pens to do an illustration of lemons and my hubby drew with a pencil. It was a lot of fun! Cleaning out cabinets can be very rewarding! Oh my gosh, what Dr. Cywes said, right on! I, too, need to find out why I gained. I *think* I know, but do I know? I will regain it all if I don't find out.

    @askewcr Have a great day!

    @caitlingfry WTG!

    @AustinRuadhain That does sound like a good day!

    @mlhopp93 That's a good idea to write your feelings. Have a great day!

    Hello all. The walk at the park yesterday was really nice. I got to say hi to dogs and people and get my day started off right.

    @Cornanda I'm sorry to hear about your mom. Sometimes you need a vacation from the vacation!

    @TeresaW1020 Congratulations on the new clothes and the new workout program! A challenge is good, think of when you first started and how far you've come with your workouts, you're doing amazing! The food bank is right around the corner (2 blocks maybe?) so it's not a big deal, the only thing that will be hard is after you start the watering systems you go to the end of the field and pull the watering hoses straight so the walking and squatting will be a challenge. I figure if I can't squat I can at least start it all and pull the worst ones, I may see if I can use a hoe to do it but overall it shouldn't be too bad and is about 15 minutes twice a day twice a week. I used a great stool when I prepped food for boxes yesterday so that's on my wish list now, I think it would be great for my dad too as he can't feel his feet either and is really unsteady so it may be his Father's Day gift.

    @askewcr Sounds like a good day overall! Sometimes things don't make sense as far as calories and logging but eventually it seems the body catches up one way or another. A waffle sounds amazing but I love them with strawberries and whipped cream!

    @AustinRuadhain I'd love to see your garden! I started with herbs, I'm adding in tea herbs this year then bought a lot of fun varieties of basil and mint as well. Lantanas are funny here, how big are yours supposed to be? My lantanas go over the fence by the end of summer, I've never seen them so big!

    @apple852hk What kind of tea do you like to drink? I like all kinds, I just made kombucha with Good Earth Sweet and Spicy (black tea with cinnamon) and it came out really good. At night I drink night herbal teas like Sleepytime or a lavender/chamomile blend I just bought plus I recently picked up Tension Tamer, I used to drink it in college because it was a beach town and it was always cold so I'd fill my thermos and take it to class, my friend used to always tease me about it but it's good for an inexpensive tea! I only have once "fancy" tea from a tea house I went to with my mom and aunts when we went to Washington but I rarely drink it even though it's really good, it's a spicy chai tea.

    @mlhopp93 I think writing is a great idea, it keeps you aware of what's really going on. I hope it helps!

    @trooworld I'd love to see your painting when you're done! I played the organ as a kid for about 5 years. When I moved I couldn't bring it but had a keyboard, only a few keys can be held down at once so it's not the best and I rarely played it. I let my nephew play it last year and he took it home and has been taking piano lessons, he now has a piano but he likes the keyboard in his room and I don't want to discourage him so I haven't asked for it back. I was learning my boyfriend's base but haven't tried it in awhile.

    Hi gang, nothing new, I have church in a bit then off to the food bank to water. I have to start building vertical support for some of my plants or there's going to be vines all over the yard, my zucchini is twice as big as the pot and it's only May! The tomatoes and peppers have support but not the cucumbers, beans, butternut squash, luffa, crookneck squash, or zucchini. That stupid zucchini I just stood there for 10 minutes yesterday giggling because it's making me nervous that's it's so big! The back lawn looks awful from not getting sun before the trees were cut, I'm tempted to dig a hole in the center and put the plant there but that wouldn't go over well. I channeled all my stress into the garden but it's so big now I get anxious, I need to do what I did when I was decluttering and just focus on one thing at once or I get overwhelmed. Especially now that they're talking water restrictions, between my garden and taking Epsom salt baths every day this is going to be rough. I think food plants should rate higher than grass but I don't own the house so it's not up to me. Have a great one gang!

    I just got back from church. We visited with family member's church and it was nice. I cooked breakfast for hubby and I before we went so we wouldn't get too hungry while there and want to eat a horse and a cow when we got back. I ate a reasonable amount of grits, about half of an egg, and two pieces of pre cooked bacon.

    Not sure what the rest of the day hold except I will get my nails done. (Self Love) Blessings to you all!

    Hi Team! This is a quick post so please forgive me for not replying to each of you. My sister called my mom yesterday and told her that her knees are so bad and she is in so much pain she can barely walk. She needs my mom to come down to Florida and help with the grandkids until my sister can get her doctor to do a double knee replacement. We thought this would be later in the year but nope I'm packing now and will leave tomorrow morning to drive mom down.

    I'm coming home late Wednesday, but it's hubby's b-day and then I have work the next morning, so I will be out until sometime Thursday. I have no doubt that our incredible motivators, @AustinRuadhain, @Katmary71, and @trooworld can hold take care of things. Take care and keep your eye on your goals. That is what I'm telling myself to do!! :)

    @Katmary71 My fingers tend to swell throughout the day, the ring felt ok at the time but still a little tight to risk swelling and getting it stuck lol. I am terrified of having to get it cut off too!
    I'm sorry you're having a tough time with the flare up, and that the nurse wasn't understanding of your situation. I'm sure she just wants what's best for you but you can only do what you can afford! The visits with your friends sound exciting though!

    @RYcare Great loss!

    @trooworld Thank you! I love my engagement ring, it's rose gold (though it looks kind of more yellow in the pictures) and it has a blue diamond and two regular diamonds. Hubby worked with the jeweller to design it himself, so it's really special to me :heart:
    Your art day sounds really fun and relaxing! I'd love to see your watercolour lemons.

    @Firefly743 Wow, great loss!

    @Cornanda Sorry about the blues - you're right though, time to get yourself back on track!

    @TeresaW1020 Thanks, I am about 80% better I think. Still struggling with the chest infection but it is slowly clearing.
    I like that you're motivating yourself with new clothes - not just the idea of buying new clothes, but actually having them there to remind you every day!
    And I really like the Dr. Cywes quote, it got me thinking. I think my issue really comes down to portion sizes and realising when I'm full or hungry. Which I think is partially a hormone thing as I am imbalanced there, but also partly how I was raised with big meals and the instruction to eat everything on my plate. I have recently been making headway in this area and I can feel the difference in how I think about food (as well as on the scale). Thanks for sharing this quote.
    Just read your latest post about your sister, I hope that all goes well.

    @caitlingfry Nice loss this week!

    @AustinRuadhain Wow, I'm loving all the green checks in your post, you're smashing it! The swim sounds lovely, as do the plants. It's funny, lantana is considered a noxious weed here (it's toxic to livestock)!

    @apple852hk Do you know, I don't think I've ever drank tea with a cup and saucer! It sounds so lovely and proper, I hope you enjoy it!
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    I am back on deck now, and back to work. Still not completely recovered, but much better than I was! I had enough energy yesterday to fold and put away 7 baskets of laundry (it had just built up in the laundry as I tend to wash in bulk on weekends), as well as deep clean the kitchen, pick up all the toddler's toys and vacuum the entire house! It needed doing, it was awful. I'm one of those people who is constantly losing hair so it is literally everywhere through the house. It feels much better now.

    I kind of surprised myself last week with how well I did on calories. There was only one day I wasn't in deficit, despite doing next to no exercise. I have been working a lot on reducing my portion sizes and this made a big difference for me. I didn't snack as much as I normally would when sitting at home either, though I did get into the chocolate a few times and that didn't end so well! Aside from the dregs of this cold/chest infection, I'm feeling quite good.

    This week, I plan to get back to some gentle exercise as I get myself back to full health. I have some steps to catch up on, and some meditation too as I've fallen behind my goals there. I might not get my step average up to where I wanted it but I will try, there's still a long time left this month!

    @19shmoo69 I had to Google bacon congee. Looks really yummy! What do you think about using cauliflower rice for us who count those pesky carbs? :grin:

    @AustinRuadhain That is a lot of yard work! We definitely need a pic of the finished masterpiece. :grin: Shhh don’t tell anyone but I gave up on that burpee challenge. I’m just NOT that young or in shape anymore. :D

    @trooworld Thanks for the curry-lime chicken salad recipe. We all like curry so I think this could be a real hit. :)

    @TwistedSassette I was thinking about you and glad you checked in with us. You just keep taking it easy and get yourself well. <3 How are your son and husband doing?

    @askewcr It is a beautiful day here in Georgia. Although this morning was cold enough that I had to wear a jacket but this afternoon the weather is perfect! Good idea to freeze the cake and cookies. Save them for something special and when you can share them with others. ;)

    @leonadixon I am sooo happy that your daughter graduated! I know you are a very proud mama! :)


    Hi Team! Today was a busy day. I had my staff meeting this morning and then I stayed and cleaned both buildings so that I don’t have to go in tomorrow. It was a lot and my body is aching but I’m glad that I did it. My eating was good day and I’m hoping for a decent loss tomorrow but will have to see what the scale has to say about it. :)

    50 Day Commitment: Day 13
    1) Track Food and hit my macros (carbs under 30 grams total): Tracked it all and nailed my macros!
    2) No snacking and no unplanned sugar indulgences: No sugar or snacks
    3) Workout 6 days a week: Lots and lots of cleaning!
    4) Fasting Hours (Goal is to 19+): 18 hrs. 33 min.

    🟢Food on plan (Dr F) & tracked
    🟢10 K steps
    🟢 NO unplanned dried fruit/nuts
    🟢45+ min cardio + martial arts
    🟢Post to group & Tracker
    BONUS: a little progress on the garden today, despite a huge thunderstorm

    @19shmoo69
    Hang in there! That number will sort itself next week by the next weigh-in. :sweat_smile:

    @TwistedSassette
    That IS funny about lantanas.
    Your ring story is beautiful. I had to go back and admire the picture again! :heart:

    @TeresaW1020
    I hope all goes well with your sister, and am wishing you safe travels. We will miss you and do our best to hold down the fort. :heart:

    @Katmary71
    My lantanas right now are small. It looks like these version grows to be a foot tall and two feet wide.
    I'll take a picture when I get things done!

    Looks like it's going to be another beautiful day. I'm renewing my commitment today to stay within my goals of eating and exercise. I have my niece's honor's day today and I'm excited about that. I also got a new bookshelf yesterday so I'll enjoy purging and rearranging things in my family room. Have a great day everyone!

    @Katmary71 Okay, I'll post a pic of it. :) I always wanted to be able to play the keyboard or piano. I just don't have that kind of ability I think lol. Base would be fun. For a very short time (2 weeks) when I was 21, these girls asked me to be in a band and stuck me with playing base. I had no idea how to play base but I did it to the best of my fooling around. It was fun! You are lucky to be able to have a garden. I just can't with a small walkway outside the condo. I might plant some stuff in containers, we'll see.

    @askewcr That was smart to do.

    @TeresaW1020 Be safe and I hope it works out!

    @TwistedSassette I thought that might be a blue diamond but I didn't want to assume (I work in the industry). I can see why it is special to you, it's lovely! Rose gold with the blue diamond must be really pretty in real life. I will post a pic of my lemons, thanks for your interest! I'm glad you are feeling better. I constantly lose hair, too. That is great that you did well on calories, many people when they get sick, they comfort eat!

    @AustinRuadhain Well done!

    Hi all. Some of you wanted to see my lemon painting so here it is. It's not the greatest, I am self-taught, and the light was bad when I took this picture, but it was fun!

    @trooworld I love your lemons, I can smell them! Lemons are so cheerful, it would be great on a kitchen wall. I container garden, it's great because you can move things with the sun and it's easier to control soil conditions.

    @TeresaW1020 Good luck with everything!

    I went out for the first time to eat since last March for my SIL's birthday, it was fun but it was last-minute and it's hard for me because I usually try to save myself for things like that and I'd already worked out and went to the farm so I was pretty tired and I met them at my brother's, we drove 30 minutes, went out to eat, back to my parent's house for a few hours, then back to my brother's house. I went to bed early, I was exhausted! Today I need to start cleaning the house but want to spend most of the day in bed reading. I have some things to do outside but I need an introvert day.

    @trooworld
    Wow, your lemon painting is lovely! I love the glow of the yellow, and I love o0ur different treatment of the edges of the pith inside the fruit and the more definite outer edge of the peel. Wow!

    @Katmary71
    Everything you do is container gardening? Very cool!
    I am not doing much in the way of food gardening this summer, but I am planting some herbs and greens. I live in a tough climate for summer gardening. June and July reliably feature lots of sun and little rain (little enough that we are asked not to water yards and wash cars, many years).
    I hope you are enjoying your introvert time today, after such a busy day yesterday!

    So far, so good on my day! I am about to go log my on-plan lunch!

    @trooworld I love your lemons! Thanks for sharing :smiley:

    @Katmary71 I totally hear you on needing an introvert day after a big day like that!
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    I had an ok day yesterday. I worked a long day (10 hours) which I'll be doing all week to make up enough hours so I can have this Friday off as scheduled. Normally we work an 80-hour fortnight, but work 9 days in the fortnight so it's usually 9 x 9-hour days (essentially we work an extra hour every day which gives us a day off). But because I was off sick last week, I haven't worked those extra hours so I'm making them up this week.

    So by the time I got home, I was absolutely wrecked. Then my mum came home from her job (she's staying with us while she works) and said that my brother-in-law was about to be flown out to a larger hospital. He suffers from depression and anxiety, and had a psychiatric appointment yesterday, at which they basically put him on suicide watch. We don't have any mental health facilities in our town, so they called for an air ambulance to take him to a larger hospital - though when he arrived they said they won't have a bed for him for a couple of days, so now he's stuck waiting in a bed in the emergency department, with a security guard by his side - I'm not sure how any of that is meant to be good for his mental health! So after he left my sister came to visit for dinner (she will drive up to be with him tomorrow) and so I didn't get a chance to exercise, and was extremely late to bed. Minor issues in comparison.

    Nevertheless, I finished the day under calories because I wasn't hungry for my afternoon snack that I'd planned. For once I listened to my body and didn't just eat regardless. Today I plan to at least do some yoga, I need to get myself back into a routine.

    Today was a good day and now I'm tired. We celebrated with my niece and they wore me out. We ate at Cracker Barrel and I had biscuits. They were so good and bad at the same time. I tutored today as well and it was a good session. Tomorrow will be a new day. Blessings!!

    @Katmary71 Thank you! It was fun to do. That's great about container gardening. It was weird eating out after so long, right? At least it was for me. I hope you enjoy your introvert day!

    @AustinRuadhain Thanks! I'm glad you are having a good day.

    @TwistedSassette Thank you! I love to take Fridays off. That stinks about your brother-in-law and them not having a bed for him for a couple of days. That's great that you listened to your body.

    Hi all. Well, @Katmary71 is having an introvert day and I guess I'm having an extravert day! My husband and I took the day off and we are going to go to a Japanese Garden and then to lunch at one of our favorite seafood restaurants. It should be good exercise at the garden.

    @TwistedSassette - your ring is lovely and I'm glad you'll be able to wear it again soon. Hugs to your sister and her husband.

    @trooworld --- Love, love, love your lemon painting!

    @katmary- how was introvert day?

    @AustinRuadhain - It's too bad the freeze ruined so much of your yard. Planting is fun though and I'm sure you'll enjoy the results!

    @TeresaW1020 - Congrats on the new clothes and work out plan. Great motivation. Sorry to hear about your sister- hope you got some sort of enjoyment on your surprise road trip.

    Not much new here. I'm taking some steps to get back on track and have been doing well the past 1.5 days. :)

    @19shmoo69 Congrats on being the top loser last week!

    @Jactop Woohoo - nice loss!

    @trooworld The Japanese garden sounds lovely, I hope you had a great time with hubby.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Yesterday wasn't too bad of a day. I am very tired this week, I need to get to bed earlier tonight. I managed a 15-minute walk yesterday which is better than nothing, but less than I'd hoped for! Working the extra hour each day at work is having more impact than I'd thought it would - at least today is the last day I need to do that, tomorrow I can work just a normal day and then I have three days off which will be lovely!

    I got the snackies yesterday, and ate too much chocolate. Not the end of the world, I only ended up like 40 calories over target for the day and still had a great deficit so I'm not worried about that. It's more the behaviour, I was tired and bored at work so I reached for the Kit Kats - I should have made a cup of tea instead!

    Today we have a morning tea for someone's birthday. I plan to NOT overindulge!!

    I'm having a good day today. Eating is better and I got that walk in at the mall again and that left knee didn't bother me as much. I'm not thinking about food like I've been the past few days so that's a plus. Finally completed my family room getting organized with my new bookshelf. Grateful and thankful today!!

    I just lost all my responses, prayers for your brother @TwistedSassette !

    I laid low today too, life gets busy again tomorrow with the food bank and a trip to the nurse then Thursday I'm meeting a childhood friend I haven't seen in a few years for lunch. I'm still working on getting my house clean for when my buddy comes over Memorial weekend.

    Yay, Slimpossibles! Great job everyone, getting the team on the leaderboard last week! And special congrats to @19shmoo69 @caitlingfry and @Firefly743 for being at the top of the list!

    @Katmary71
    Enjoy your housecleaning and that visit with your friend!

    @askewcr
    You are always so sunny! Glad you had a good day!

    @TwistedSassette
    Your goals are looking pretty good!

    @Cornanda
    You are so right about enjoying the chance to reset the flower beds. It is being a treat. A lot of work, but quite the treat!

    @Jactop
    Great weigh-in! You just keep it up. It is so impressive. I hope your numbers are staying where you want them, too!

    @trooworld
    I hope your trip to the Japanese Garden and then to lunch at one of your favorite seafood restaurants was as lovely as that sounds! How great to have such a special day with your husband!

    + + + +

    I stuck with my pre-planned good-for-me diet today, despite wanting treats.
    🟡 Food on plan (Dr F) & tracked - calories ok, but not best choices; back on plan tomorrow!
    🟢10 K steps -- over 12K!
    🟢 NO unplanned dried fruit/nuts
    🟢 45+ min cardio - yes! outdoor walking with a weighted backpack, platform stepping
    🟢Post to group & Tracker
    🟢BONUS note: 35% of the way towards my weekly FitRockr challenge goal, so I am ahead

    It has been raining cats and dogs for days, so I think I am also getting extra exercise cleaning up after dirty feet! No gardening today, though as it was way too wet. I will have extra work dealing with the ways that torrents of water reshaped some tuff in our yard, so extra shoveling tomorrow!

    Happy Tuesday to everyone! We have another beautiful day in Georgia! We finished all projects on our rental property and it looks pretty good. Hubby is proud and that makes me proud. I don't know what the rest of the day holds for me but it's brand new so the possibilities are endless! Let's go get it friends!! :)

    @Jactop Woo hoo on the loss!

    @19shmoo69 @caitlingfry @Firefly743 Congrats on getting on the leaderboard!!!

    @Cornanda Aw, thank you! That's great you are having successful days.

    @TwistedSassette It was a great time, very serene and beautiful. I hate working when I'm tired, it makes the days drag.

    @askewcr It sounds like a lot of NSVs, congrats!

    @Katmary71 I hope your busy day goes well.

    @AustinRuadhain It WAS lovely! I really enjoyed every minute of it. Yay for sticking with your plan!

    Hi all. I had a very enjoyable day yesterday. The gardens were beautiful and lunch was delicious. Here is a pic from where we sat for lunch and one of the gardens. I didn't make a healthy choice at lunch and we got a couple of cookies from a cookie shop, but I did just eat plain rice for dinner which hopefully will lessen the damage points-wise.

    50 Day Commitment: Day Two
    1) Track every day using WW app ✅
    2) Workout at least once a week (it's a start!) ✅
    3) No unplanned sugar X

    My phrase for the year: CHANGE HAPPENS

    Had an eventful weekend with lots of driving and eating out, so I’m not surprised the scale rebelled.

    @Katmary71 Thank you. I couldn't care less about my brother-in-law, to be honest, he's an awful person. But I feel a lot for my sister having to deal with all this. She's been through a lot and doesn't need this extra stress right now. All I can do is be there for her while she's there for him.

    @askewcr I love that you're proud of your hubby's pride! That's so lovely.

    @trooworld Beautiful pictures!!

    @GabiV125 @leonadixon Sending hugs to you both! My scale is also rebelling this week, despite being under on calories every day. Must be inflammation!
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Yesterday was a bit of a mixed bag! I didn't overindulge too much at the morning tea, but some of the items were much higher calorie than I'd first assumed. I was doing ok overall with a walk in the afternoon, but then after dinner I opened a block of chocolate and forgot about the rule where I should not eat from containers! Half of it gone in one sitting (and if I'm being honest, I only stopped because I had to hide it from the toddler...). I did go and ride my bike afterwards though and finished the day under calorie goal as a result. But my scale is creeping up this week and I just know it's from all the sugary junk I've been having. It seems I can handle a little sugar, but too much and I start retaining water. I gotta get better at resisting it!

    Today I am planning to take another walk, and do some strength training in the evening. I don't do enough strength work, so I'm trying to incorporate it more often.

    Quick check-in, and I will catch up properly in the morning.

    🟢 NO unplanned dried fruit/nuts
    🟢 45+ min cardio
