My Spring Challenge commitment is:
1) Read for 30 minutes a day or use my Scroll Saw - I'm reading The Stranger by Stephen King.
2) Move at least 30 minutes a day or walk 3000 steps - ???? steps so far today. I don't know I left my Fitbit on the charger again.
3) Weigh everyday - 167.8
I didn't post my spring challenge yesterday, this sleep thing has me out of sorts. I went back to going to bed at 11:30 and whatever happens, happens. I did take a 2-hour nap today and it was refreshing. I'm hoping to get our taxes finished tomorrow and sent to the tax accountant on Monday, that would be a huge relief to be done with that. Since my mind is not clear all the time due to brain fog, I'm forced to doing it when I can think clearly.
@laurelfit57 Your fridge looks ready for a week of healthy eating.
@micaroo4 I love that picture and the peacefulness it represents.
@vegan4lyfe2012 I'm so sorry for the loss of your sister. It's a terrible tragedy to die that young from pneumonia. I have some insurance not much for my husband and myself, but we did pay for our cremation services in advance so that is something I don't need to worry about.0 -

I stopped the Spring Challenge posting. Sorry, my schedule got super busy with teaching responsibilities and classwork. I'll keep doing what I can, but eating and exercising have not been great with all the stress.
Phrase of the year: OWN IT!3 -
@TeresaW1020 I'll definitely have to check that show out! I hope your back is feeling better. Glad Joe is having a better day. I read about your app Todolist and was thinking it sounded like a Lord of The Rings character (Frodo) then tried reading it slower and it made more sense, geez! Hope it helps, I may copy you on that!
@trooworld I'm so sorry to hear work's been that stressful, how frustrating. I'm glad the walk helped!
@askewcr Have fun with the souvenir books, I'm sure they'll make a lot of people happy. I'm sorry to hear your ankle and heel are feeling worse. We should do a Zoom since so many of us are recovering from injuries right now!
@laurelfit57 That's exactly what I was thinking with the machines, I'm strong enough to lift heavier but whenever I go up to 20lbs my back goes out which is about every 2 months these days. Sounds like you have all kinds of tasty food ready to go, I wish you lived by me! Did you try the Giant Parmesan Meatball yet? It is just a meatloaf @TeresaW1020 but sounds fun being a gigantic meatball!
@Cornanda Congratulations on the loss, woohoo! I do think sometimes surprising our bodies makes us drop weight, I haven't been losing at all then I went to Texas Roadhouse and got a loaded sweet potato with my salmon then had cake and ice cream, I felt like I'd been hit by a truck the next day but the next time I weighed I was down a few pounds finally so who knows. I'm sorry to hear your son doesn't want to be in his graduation (I was the same way). Definitely do it for you as a birthday gift, you'll be so proud of yourself when the day comes that it will be worth it.
@vegan4lyfe2012 I'm so sorry to hear about your sister, I hope the arrangements aren't too complicated or stressful for you, what a sad situation.
@micaroo4 What a beautiful photo, great place to hike!
@Glombog Welcome back!
@FushiaKat I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with your sleep. I know the time change throws it off but is it also related to medication? I know there's times I need more sleep like right now when I'm injured, I think sometimes we just need a little more but it's frustrating when we aren't getting enough or are feeling run down then of course pain is way worse.
Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been around much, Thursday and today I spent resting and reading and yesterday was my hair appointment then I went out with my parents for lunch (Thai food, they have a great mixed veggie stir fry). I'm doing light workouts but am still recovering so doing my best to lay around, it sprinkled today and was cold so I stayed in and started a good Susan Mallery that I'll probably go finish tonight. Tomorrow's the food bank farm greenhouse then another mellow workout, hopefully I'll sleep good and do some serious healing tonight! I'm off to see if the Bingo challenge is something I can do, finish my batch of kombucha, then back to my book. Have an amazing Sunday!0 -

@TeresaW1020 How funny, I am making meatloaf today, too! I hope your meatloaf came out well. Actually, it wasn't that hard to just have 2 pieces, I ate the salad first and it organically happened! Oh the pollen...I hope your allergies don't get too bad. Good idea to cover up the furniture.
@Cornanda Definitely! Thanks. Enjoy your day!
@Katmary71 Thanks! Thai food is my favorite kind of food. I hope you enjoyed it. Have a relaxing and great Sunday!
Good morning everyone. I had a late night, I stayed up until 2am painting. Unfortunately, no matter how late I stay up, my body says it's time to get up at about 6am.
I am so tired but will probably take a nap later. At 9:30am, my husband and I are going to get a foot massage. They don't just do your feet, they do most of your body and it only costs $30 plus a generous tip. I hope I don't fall asleep during it.
My Spring Challenge commitment is:
1) Exercise 3 days a week - Yes
2) Drink 50 oz of water a day - 50 oz drank
My phrase for the year: "Something needs to change…so I will take no crap and eat no crap!"0 -
Not our best week as a whole, but there were still some great losses this past week, and an overall gain sets us up to get an even better loss next week!
Take a look at last week's results in the links below:
Here's a sneak peek into how your team did...

I’m so sorry I’m not sure what happened there I accidentally put it twice because I thought it hadn’t worked and I was at the park with my boys and didn’t change the previous weight and then accidentally deleted the 8 from the previous weight and thought I’d deleted a 6!! Next time I will make sure they aren’t talking to me when I am updating 🙈!! I’m really sorry 😕1 -

@vegan4lyfe2012 I am so sorry to hear about your sister! My thoughts and prayers are with you♥️
@cornanda that scale can be a very funny thing! Sometimes I am positive I am going to have a big loss and I stay the same, the next time I might think I am going to stay the same and have a loss. Sometimes your body is just going to do what it’s gonna do🥴. I’m glad that you have a good relationship with your son and he can tell you what he’s going through. So glad that you are focussed on that dress, you deserve it! Your weekend sounds like it was very productive!
@teresaw1020 The giant meatball is like a meatloaf except it is in a circle :-). I am right there with you, there is nothing better than a meatloaf sandwich the next day!! I have cut mine up into 4 ounce servings and frozen them, when I want to meatloaf sandwich I can just take one of the servings out of the freezer in the morning and make it for lunch! Or I can put marinara sauce on it and have more of an Italian type meal. Glad you didn’t have to do quite as much lifting with Jo yesterday. I have the Todo list app on my phone, I love it! I also use it for my grocery lists. Hope your leg workout went well!
@micaroo4 it really does look like you went for a hike through the enchanted forest, how beautiful!
I always fine it hard to get on here on Friday and Saturday, my grandkids come Friday afternoon and stay until Saturday afternoon, then by the time they leave, I’m pooped lol. I find myself always catching up on Sunday!
It was a good weekend here, today was a good day to get a bunch of things caught up. Hopefully we had the last winter storm here, much of our province was in white out conditions! Gave me an excuse to get a bunch of things done around here. They are saying tomorrow is supposed to be up to about 50°! Can’t wait :-) :-)2 -

@amioc, @Cornanda , @Glombog , @trooworld Congratulations for being on the Team MissionSlimpossible Leader Board for this week! You are an inspiration to all of us.
I took another 2-hour nap today, I'm starting to feel more rested. Haha, I did wake up at 3am and eat pickles. MFP say's I should start losing only a pound a week now, I'm good with any loss. Actually, if I stayed the same for a few weeks I wouldn't mind that either right now. I have more emotional garbage to get rid of before I can be successful from this point forward, and it's going to take a lot of heart felt forgiveness on my part. It's been many years since those tragic events happened. But they are etched in my brain like it was only yesterday. I need to tell myself that I am worthy, that my weight had nothing to do with it, and that it was not me but them that caused them to act that way. We have no control over how other people act out. I see a lot of self-talk in my future if I'm going to let go. Hopefully I will have it figured out by next weekend. I think I'm ready to let go of the past and look forward.0 -

So happy with this weeks loss!!
Felt uneasy the days in the army when I couldn’t eat or work out as I use to. I need my scedules and routines😅.
Told I am to quit my second job after easter.
My wife was done studying last summer, so income is good enough, and sold my apartement last week, so less expenses.
Felt good, and really looking forward do some weekends off with my family😊3 -

@Katmary71 The app didn’t really help me much unless I want to pay $35 a year for all the features. I’m utilizing Google task in my calendar and back to those good ole yellow sticky notes.
@trooworld That must have been some good painting to keep you up so late! A foot massage sounds nice. When I was 17, I worked at Burger King and I dated a young man who was studying to be a chiropractor. He would give me the best foot massages after work. I dated him much longer than I should have just for those foot massages. 
@laurelfit57 that is a very good idea to portion out for meatloaf sandwiches. I swear I could eat one every day but never thought of just making a big meatloaf just for sandwiches. I wasn’t loving the Todolist but maybe I just didn’t give it enough time. Hmm? Spring is almost there for you! 
Hi Team! Today is a beautiful spring day. Mom and I went grocery shopping early and then Joe and I went to drop off our paperwork so we can get our taxes done. Afterward, I took Joe home and went to the car wash and got my girl shiny both inside and out. True that the stupid yellow pollen will make her all gross in the next few weeks, but I don’t care. My car has never been that dirty which just proves how busy my life has been lately. I also did some church work on the computer. I have to go into the office in the morning but leave early so I can get my hair cut and colored. These grey hairs are getting out of control!
My eating has been pretty good. Yesterday, I made my first loaf of protein sparing bread. It's bread that is made from whipped egg whites, egg white powder, cream of tartar, and a little allulose. I didn’t cook it long enough and it was a little Styrofoamy in flavor but edible. And it didn’t deflate at all, which is a thing that often happens! I toasted it and used it to make my yummy meatloaf sandwich for a lovely carb-free meal.
Here is a picture of it. It was HUGE!!!

@katmary71 alignment is so key when lifting weights, I hope using the machines will work for you! I did the try the giant Parmesan loaf it was delicious! I cut it up and froze it, already to make a few meals out of :-) :-). You have such a busy life!
@trooworld That foot massage sounds heavenly and what a deal if it turns into a full body massage!
@fushiakat dealing with emotional traumas are challenging, but so rewarding when you come out the other side. Hugs to you
@Glombog congrats on the loss, I hear you on the schedules and routines! It will be so nice for you to be able to relax more on the weekends with your family!
@teresaw2020 congrats on the loss! Tough to do with all the stress you have been under. It sounds like you had an absolutely lovely day, there is nothing like spring! I just realized my app is not called todolist it is just called To Do:). What did your protein bread taste like? It looked delicious!
Hi team! It was a great day today! No more winter storm, the sun was out and I was able to get out with Vannie for a long walk with no spikes on my boots, I can’t even begin to tell you what a freeing experience that is! I did a spin class this morning, got Vannie out for a really good walk just after lunch and then we went to agility class! I am so glad that I have all my proteins already cooked up and in the freezer, I took a packet of chicken breast out this morning and did a super quick stirfry after getting back from agility, it was delicious. Now I am pooped and will try to stay awake until 9🤣0 -
@amioc @Cornanda @Glombog @trooworld Way to go team!
Haha, we're just a bunch of meatloaf-eating people! Too funny we're all going through meatloaf stages, now that the weather is getting better time to bust out salads and meals with lots of fresh veggies and herbs!
@TeresaW1020 Impressive loaf! I bought gluten free flour but haven't made anything with it yet. That pollen is a pain. My allergies are so bad today! Sounds like a very productive day!
Hi everyone! Not much new, still not lifting weights, have the food bank farm in the morning, I think it's warm enough that I'll be okay as far as cold making my pain worse so I'm going to help plant seedlings. Basically did the same in my yard today, I have a turkey watching me over the fence, it has to be the same one as last year that was in my yard for a week. Going to make some overnight oats then go read my book, have a great Tuesday! Oh, there's a new BINGO challenge that's pretty doable, check it out!1 -
@Cornanda @amioc @Glombog Congrats on making it onto the leaderboard! Woot woot!
@amioc @laurelfit57 @fatfifties Nice losses!
@laurelfit57 I'm sure weekends go by quickly. Just check in whenever you can, no worries! There are no requirements for posting. Enjoy the warmer weather. Yes, the foot massage was so relaxing and it's amazing that they do the whole body! I'm glad you got out with Vannie. Yay for better weather! That's great that your food you prepped helped you.
@FushiaKat Great job with the goals.
@Glombog Great loss! I do better with routines, too. Congrats on selling your apartment. That's good you can quit your 2nd job without suffering too much.
@TeresaW1020 Congrats on the scale going down! That painting I was working on, I really like it. It's got glow-in-the-dark paint on it and is a lot of fun. The massage was nice. LOL about the young man you dated! I would have done the same. That bread looks interesting. I'm glad it came out well for you.
@Katmary71 Yes we are lol. Yes, I do love a good salad! I hope you enjoyed your book.
Hi all. I am shaking things up a bit and trying Intermittent Fasting (again). This time, I am easing into it. Last time, I just went straight into it and I think that is part of why I failed at it. It also helps that my officemate isn't in on the days I am because she eats a lot of crap that tempts me lol.
My Spring Challenge commitment is:
1) Exercise 3 days a week - No
2) Drink 50 oz of water a day - 12 oz drank

Good morning everyone!
Happy Tuesday! Happy to report the heel and ankle are so much better. I plan to go back to the gym tomorrow morning. The ability to walk with no pain is such a blessing and you don't know the extent of it until you have lost that ability. I am grateful!
I spent the afternoon yesterday with my great nieces.
It was a total delight. I haven't seen them in about three weeks and we had so much fun...made memories. We went to eat at their favorite restaurant, Cracker barrel. We went to their favorite store, Dollar General. We went to the library. We played "Head Bands" which is their new found favorite game as of yesterday. Finally, they tried this new thing we bought at Dollar Tree called ankle skipping. At first it was a huge challenge. Then the oldest one "got it" and then it was on. The youngest one is still trying to get it but she made progress in learning how to hoola-hoop. They made this aunt's day in a mighty way!!
Have a wonderful day everyone and let's go get it!

I lost a 1/2 lb. last week. 😁 I've been pigging out on Fresh Strawberries 🍓🍓🍓 400 grams a day. The first box I bought was like Strawberry Sugar Bombs. The one's I got today are not as sweet, but they do have good strawberry flavor. I better like them I bought 3 boxes at Sam's Club today along with a bag of Cara-Cara Oranges.
I've been working on that forgiveness thing I need to do; I've almost got it. Lol, I talked to myself in the car on the way to the market and back. I need more self-chats. They work really well. Thursday I will also chat with my Talk Therapist. So, the gist is, if something is making me unhappy for whatever reason I just need to let that go. Tame the Nemesis 🤐 When I got sick, I learned how to give up things, it did not mean that I wouldn't miss them but that I would no longer be angry and wanting about those things I cannot do anymore.
Lol, my illness does not define me, it just defines what I can and cannot do.0 -
@katmary71 that food bank keeps you really busy, they are so lucky to have you! Overnight oats sound yummy, I’m going to have to try that sometime.
@trooworld good luck on the intermittent fasting! I’m not sure how you guys do that, I have to be fed on a regular basis otherwise things don’t go well for me, or those around me 🤣. So hard to eat right when other people have really tempting food around you🤪.
@askewcr so glad that your heel and ankle are so much better! I’m sure it will be great to be back in the gym again. Your day with your great nieces sounds like it was super fun!
@19shmoo69 🤣🤣🤣
@fushiakat yay on the loss!! Sounds like you have terrific insight♥️
Can I just say…
I WENT FOR A WALK IN MY RUNNERS TODAY!!🥳👏🏻🌈💥
it was such a terrific day today! I must admit, my feet did get a little damp, there were a few puddles that I couldn’t quite jump all the way over LOL. I also fit into a pair of jeans that I bought quite a while ago, as well as a puffer vest that has been hanging in my closet for years! Walking in the sunshine in running shoes, new jeans and a new puffer vest, life is good!
This picture pretty much encapsulates life in Alberta today. These are my two little Grandkiddos enjoying the weather

@19shmoo69 LOL! Thanks for the laugh this morning.
@FushiaKat Congrats on the loss! I wish you luck with the forgiveness, that can be hard sometimes.
@laurelfit57 LOL...yeah we'll see how it goes, I get pretty grumpy when I don't eat! Yes, it's very hard to eat when people are eating junk around you. Yay for better weather! Congrats on the NSV of fitting into the clothes! Your grandbabies are precious! I would be freezing lol...I'm such a wimp now that I've lived in CA for so long.
