@Dianedoessmiles1 -we live in a single family house so yes we have our own machines (washer and dryer). I hang dry our clothes on an inside clothes pole (it was there when we moved here) so I am limited to how much I can do before “the line” is full. We have plenty of clothes so I just try to keep up with it. Lol yup housework never done. I do enjoy the wash because I usually have a podcast/audio book going. Aw sorry you have to go to another floor to do the wash.
@kaliswalker -I do miss spark people. For trivia and games lol. I for some reason was on their pre diabetic plan but I wasn’t diabetic2 -
@aalley5 Good to hear your new meds are working!
@CSEGUIN2 Good to hear your Fitbit is motivating you. Note to self don't ignore reminder to move.
@Dianedoessmiles1 I couldn't bring myself to order shoes online. If all the things you need to try on... but I did it. I had to send back the first pair, my size but snug. 1/2 size larger was good.
@EjoyEvelyn Thanks for being such a supportive teammate. Your date night sounds like fun!
@HealthyBarb1 Are you doing anything special this spring?
@lavalily I can understand why you wouldn't want to leave Hawaii. I've been once and quite loved it. You are quite a prolific writer. I followed your links to https://lavalily.com/ Your new book sounds interesting.
@macrat12 I love this one - Fitness quote for today: Less Sugar, More Fruit. Less Soda, More Water. Less Driving, More Walking. Less Worry, More Sleep. Less Words, More Action.
@marg750me Girl you are crazy busy! I had to google scrapple, sounds interesting. How do you like PeopleOne? I haven't spend time there, but I did join.
@RevivingRachel Great job on the cake!
I will get ready for the gym. It's hard to get back at it, but I have to do it.4 -
@bookieNJ The SP diets were based on the choices you set up.
@cormierannie Hi you are a regular exerciser with your walk and dance.
@Kateljm haha - Growing older is an adventure. Yep!
@Lessennan What is a green gym?
@Mango1960 Thanks for the info about Wordling. I am downloading the app. How are you liking WW?
@marg750me What kind of work do you do that keeps you so BUSY??? Wow you are on the go all the time.
Change of plan, have to help DD install her new washing machine.

@kaliswalker - Thanks for the link to the wordle archives - although it's a rabbit hole I should avoid! I got a bit lost in the quordle practice hole the other day and I really should try to do something beside word games!1
-
@kaliswalker -yup I did start on it! Not perfectly but that’s life…
I hope you made it to the gym! I go usually not wanting to-I usually don’t regret it!
Yup I think I set it up and then years later wondering why? Like I was sporadic with it til last couple years1 -
I'm sorry if this is a repeat question, but can someone tell me the date that we're starting the Spring Challenge? When I clicked on the link for team info, I simply got a screen telling me to sign into Google. I use Google Chrome as my browser, but I do not have to sign in to do that. Therefore, I don't have a sign in. Sorry, it just threw me a bit when I got the sign in question. Just need to know the starting date. Thank you!

We’ve not got a start date yet0 -
@kaliswalker a green gym around here is a set of strength gym equipment but set in the park powered by the user and free and available to all1

Afternoon everyone, thought I would share some more signs of spring here in the lowermainland of BC - This is from the little park across the street from where I live - the city crews will be a round soon to do the gardening. It is a rainy day so you will see raindrops on the flowers or leaves, love to see those.
Please do not ask me the names of the flowers/plants, I kinda dont' know LOL
@kaliswalker I wonder if there is a NB store closer to where you live rather then coming all the way down on Robson - I do like how they measure and then give options. I tend to buy the same shoe - a men's 8 width 6e only because they don' tdo that width in women's guess we are suppose to have wide feet ... and I did inherit my mother's barge style feet - but they get me where i go !
@Dianedoessmiles1 enjoy this evening eh !!

Good Evening Everyone!
Thank you so much for the picture of my saying. I downloaded it to my phone for future use.
For getting your 250+ steps on Fitbit I sometimes just March in place a few minutes at a time or walk up and down my sidewalk.
In my studies I have learned that there are multiple kinds of fat and some are more harmful than others. Also that if you just diet without exercise you will lose muscle more than fat and think your just losing fat when you weigh. Mean while you are actually gaining fat around your inner organs.
🌧️. Not a fan of the cold temperatures today. Bring back the warmth. Rest, weigh and TOPS Day. Down 5.5 lbs! Such a wonderful surprise. Today has been a little crazy as I had to get my tooth fixed this afternoon which of course threw off my day. Tomorrow will start a little crazy as son has another orthodontics appointment for scans and photos of his mouth. Of course it's at 9 am.1 -
Hi Everyone,
Day was here there everywhere, 4th Lenten series, DISTURBING call to Rose after church which lasted almost an hour. Time for sleep. Night2 -
Good morning everyone.
Diane: It got up to 70 degrees yesterday.2 -
Good morning everyone!! It is going to be a great day here. It is already above Zero.
@kaliswalker I checked out he link you sent for the archived
wordle game. Wow a rabbit hole I could go down and not come back up. Going to have to limit myself.

Hello! I'm so excited for Spring and for a fresh start!! I took a little time off since last challenge. I've had so many health challenges and a few health scares since the start of this year, but looking forward to moving past them! While I'm excited for the new challenge to start, I've already started! Any day and every day can be a new beginning!! This is the best challenge team!! I'm so appreciative to our leaders that this has continued from Sparkpeople to MFP!! ♥️♥️
Have a great day!4 -
have a great day, everyone! it is a cool, cloudy and mostly rainy day here today. take care and stay safe.1

@LindieMaeP - I was hoping that you new the name of the little white flower (second picture) as I have some in my little garden along the side of the house and have never know what they were. Maybe someone else with a green thumb knows? I am so NOT a gardener!
@majork29 - Yup I fell down that rabbit hole too! Between that and the quordle practice, I could spend WAY too much time exercising my brain instead of my body - which is what I need to go do RIGHT now. I slept in a bit this morning so have yet to get that much needed body exercise done. My brain's already well ahead! 😀2 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 For most of my life I lived near some body of water - ocean, lake, river - and I was born next to the Mississippi River! Only for the years when I lived in Arizona did I feel land-locked, and I was! I've even spent over 30 years living on an island, which I love! Kodiak, Alaska, Guam, and now on the Big Island of Hawaii. (Would Rhode Island count?? LOL) I can always see the ocean and a short walk away is one of our boat harbors. When the surf is really up, it can actually wake me up in the middle of the night, but I hear it all the time. I lived on my 37' sailboat for about 5 years and I loved it - my own private island, I guess 2

I posted this on my team, but I have friends on the other teams who might be interested in this, too.
My self-help book is out! It has been up as an e-book for a few years but most of my clients wanted something they could hold and write in. It's a "self-help" for personal growth, something we all seem to want - and the fables are fun to read. This link takes you to a picture of the book, but it's also available on Barnes & Noble or Amazon, although they don't have an image of the cover yet.

@Retired_Sue I think of Wordle as an exercise for the mind. It's popularity really took off.
@bookieNJ How do you motivate yourself to go to the gym? I tell myself nobody will know but me... and I am the one who will benefit the most. I am worth it.
Yesterday became get the washing machine installed day. But tada it's working!
@ThursLins Start date to be determined.
@cormierannie Cheep cheep to you too. I just saw the Netflix movie Rescued by Ruby... a wonderful dog story.
@Lessennan Thanks for the info. Where I lived before we had a green gym but nothing here... but MANY places to walk/hike.
@LindieMaeP I did NB 4 blocks away.
@CSEGUIN2 5.5 pounds in one week? Wow!!! Congratulations.
This morning I walked Rebel to the Watershed Park 790 steps away. She is a couch potato and has to be dragged out the door - really! When we got to the park and as far as the garbage can, and she was pulling so hard to leave the park. I am thinking of taking her breakfast along and feeding her at the bottom of the park. That should motivate her.
Here is a link to pictures of the park. When you follow a link it will take you out of MFP, but if you right click on the link you still have MFP open. https://bit.ly/3JzAmwA

Good Evening Everyone!
Today is cold and rainy. Son had his orthodontics appointment @ 9 am. The day has been off ever since we left. Calories are sooooo off. Tomorrow will be way better. Got my minimal exercise done. Tomorrow will be better. I WILL NOT SABOTAGE MYSELF! The rest of the week will be better as I have no appointments to throw a wrench in my plans. Still waiting the results of my 3rd exam. Hopefully this weekend.2 -
@Retired_Sue those white flowers look like Hyacinthus orientalis albulus.
Really nice to feel the buzz of excitement building here. It's our early Autumn in New Zealand so your spring fever will keep a spring in my step.3 -
HI ALL!! I had company over today, one of them hasn't been out since Covid, she's a cancer survivor of so many treatments I've lost track!! But, her laughter is infectious which is the GOOD kind of infection! Years ago all of my friends totally agreed with what my Mom had said when I was a teen "Diane, you HAD marry RICH because you can't cook and you HATE to clean!" LOL Those have been true right up til Covid!! Well I've been sick with a few things since that time. So I've been learning to cook. Today I made burgers in the air fryer,, the same as I would for meatloaf, (to be healthier you can use half turkey or chicken and half beef) since the air fryer puts the fat away from the meat, I use 80% Since it tastes better and is more moisture to it) bread crumbs, an egg, mustard (I am low salt so all of my choices are loso options, but of course you can use what you wish including sugar free on many things) ketchup, garlic powder (if you are also lowso ,,, that needs to be tripled checked they did not add sodium etc) onion powder,, here are the 2 ingredients I add which kick it up! BBQ Sauce (mine loso ,,,and I can also make it with barely any sodium) and Italian Herbs! Those 2 things really kick it up! YUMMY!! I very low cal this AM and will again soon tonight, and no snacks. So it was a very fun time we had, they were here for 4 hours. LOL I had thought 90 mins to 2 hours. Nah, we had to much fun. I hope your day was also fun, or bearable and if not, it can become as such, even briefly.
@sunrisedancer1 ,, Awww THANKS!! It's not at all easy when the feet are hard to fit!! My right foot is a size 5, the left foot an 8.5. This is the first time in an eon of time I've worn the same size shoes,,,, I really prefer to have them different sizes, but now a days most places make me buy TWO PAIRS of shoes, and well these are not cheap and it just makes me so angry I REFUSE to buy 2!! YO!! They used to just charge a restocking fee, I was fine with that. My foot Dr had ordered and I got a piece I put in the left side so my foot doesn't slide up. I'm so sorry you go through a rough time finding shoes! Once I find a company that the sizing is true to size, I am okay with that!
@Marg750me ,,,, So sorry Rose sounds draining? So glad you are here with us.
@Patti241,, OH YO!! 70???!!! YO YO YO!! Today we hit 49! LOL hmmm Monday it'll be 30! Tomorrow RAIN ALL day on and off, I do need to go out for a Dr appointment and 2 errands. Fri I do NOT plan on going out at ALL!! Saturday is taken ,, I'll be busy all day and so tired, but I'll do what I can. BUT NEXT WEEK WOOHOO VACATION for a few days!! YEAH!! Thankfully I have a KITTY SITTER!!
@Majork29,, LOL I GO OFTEN down the rabbit hole!! Maybe we'll see each other down there! I LOVE Wordle!!
@Sunrisedancer1,,,,
@ForeverFitNHealthy ,, WELCOME BACK!!! You are so correct any day is a new start for us. I sure hope you were able to get the help you need(ed) with your health issues. YW from the leaders, you all make it worth ALL of our effort ,, it's fun to be a leader if any of you are even considering this, please let @Ceriusly1 know.
@Lavalily ,, SO COOL!! The water is so soothing. I am sitting here watching the planes fly into Portland, since first go over the water before landing (Well on this flight pattern and usually more so as it goes past 4 AM. So glad you get to also enjoy it.
@Kaliswalker,, Awww Rebel is so very very cute though!! LOL each animal is as different than we are. Did feeding her at the bottom of the park help? Izzy will do almost anything for a snack. When I see it's going to rain most of the day or part of the day, the day before I write down what it is I want to clean and get all shiny etc. etc. That in itself is quite the motivation for me. I also do a checklist and make it very reasonable to have the sink and toilet done in 20 mins (they're always clean ,, before being ill maybe 5 mins to shine them up, now about 12, but I put down 20 just cause it's a GREAT feeling to get it done quicker (LOL) the list is as long as I can handle it. Some days I can do a lot, other days not much. But I LOVE that CHECKING THINGS OFF!
@Cseguin2,,, Sure hope all went well for S with his. Can you bring a snack or meal with you on days of multiple appointments? If S still wants fast food, are there any parks near by you can both enjoy? Or even in the car? Weirdly I enjoy eating in the car now. Well, I always ha ve. WTG on not allowing a day to take away all the upcoming days!! LOVE that attitude!
@Suefromri,, HI Sue!! Hey MISS YA Kiddo!! I have a small load,,, sneaking it into Sue's since she has so many what are a few more?
@hayds342 ,,, Sure hope you all get some rain, snow, but not to much as the Fall springs upon you!! We are still pretty cold out in Maine, and can still get a blizzard. This time of year it'll melt fast, and yes I LOVE SNOW!!1 -
@marg750me hope you had a good sleep.
@Patti241 50F with a light rain today
@macrat12 How did you develop your exercise plan?
@majork29 When I get into Wordle or something, I think what should I be doing with this time... I can justify it haha.
@ForeverFitNHealthy you are so right... Day 1 can be any day your choose to get started.1 -
Hi Everyone,

@Retired_Sue those white flowers look like Hyacinthus orientalis albulus.
Really nice to feel the buzz of excitement building here. It's our early Autumn in New Zealand so your spring fever will keep a spring in my step.
Thanks so much. They are such a pretty flower - a bit early yet for mine to appear but they're one of the first to be show up in the spring.1 -
A new day to reach your goals for this day.
@CSEGUIN2
I can so appreciate the renewed excitement that comes with a new Fitbit.
I have had a Samsung Gear 2 watch since 2015. I loved it! I have learned how to recharge it daily during some my down time (Boggle, Wordle, reading or TV). Little did I realize, the loss of 3G would be it's demise. On Monday, I had my phone shop prep my new Samsung Watch 4 that just arrived to my home. So thrilled! And yet still learning. Best news? I've rejuvenated a desire to hit my daily target steps again. Happy, happy!
Today, i found myself somewhat power walking in a rather large space senior center space with just a few of us remaining, when Dan asked, "Where's your watch?" (Oops?!$? - left on the home charger). Shucks! I guess I need a 14-day period to instill a healthy, working habit. Also looking to find a setting that checks my pulse during workouts and hourly (not every 10 minutes). New batteries are such a blessing!
Imagine my best friend's shock when I answered her call on my watch saying, "Let me find out where my phone is at." I love the added features, a bit like good insurance in case I need to text or call someone when I'm without my phone.
Hug, hug!

Appointments are always a nuisance. I’ve one with mum today Thursday at 130 pm. Question is will it be on time? How long will it take. Middle of the day means you can’t do anything much before or after it. But if the outcome is an improvement that will be a great help1 -
kaliswalker: We had rain off and on all day with thunder and lightning.1
