@trooworld I love Daisy so much!!! Someone needs to write a series of books about her or make a movie or something.2

@trooworld – congrats on your newest addition! Daisy is so adorable
@TeresaW1020 – Thank you for the prayers. I am so sorry to hear about your pastor. Throwing prayers right back at you. So sad. But hopefully you’ll like your new hair stylist and the ‘do
@infamouscandi – Nice job getting on the treadmill already! I have Major Depressive Disorder and I know exercising definitely gets me in a better frame of mind. It also helps me to make better food choices.
Visiting with Sydney yesterday was good. She needed a distraction, so for dinner we went to Red Robin (she actually works there) where the booth seats are a bit wider. Instead of sitting across from each other, we sat beside each other and played a decorating game on her phone. THE ENTIRE TIME. When she’s stressed, she stops eating. She’s gone from a size 12 to a 4 quite quickly. But I’m happy that she ate her entire sandwich and fries. When the waitress came to clear the table, she looked at Syd and told her she was so happy to see her eating. I enjoyed my Impossible burger and fries. Stayed within my “bites”, too, and was totally stuffed. Didn’t even need to snack later. It was a really good mother/daughter time that was sorely needed. Side note...her husband's sister is going to try to find out what the *f* is going on in his head and why does he want a divorce. We'll see how that goes...
In regards to Marcus’ fiancée, we talked last night and we’re good. Now I just need my stubborn son to start talking to me again. He’s basically pouting. I’m not stressing out any more, though.
Had a good day at work today. My coworker/friend that works at the Courthouse (4 blocks from my building, which is County Administration) messaged me and asked if I wanted to walk with her on our lunch break. So we ended up walking just over half an hour and that made my Fit Bit happy
Ok…made me happy, too. Now I won’t feel guilty enjoying a snack pack of Takis tonight. Hahahaha those are addictive!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday night! Mine will be filled with card making!
NO ZERO DAYS!

Weigh everyday - Done
Track all my meals and stay under 1200 calories. - 1199 Done
I've been really tired lately, like grumpy cranky type of tired and I have a very low tolerance level for doing anything above my normal stuff. I found out today that I have been slightly anemic for the past several months and they just decided to test my iron and ferritin levels today. Of course, the phlebotomist did not know what she was doing, stuck me in both hands and went fishing while she was in there. She had to get somebody else to do it and they did it in one stick. I have a nice purple bruise on the back of both hands. Life goes on......
I did order 2 new skirts, 2 blouses and 1 dress last night. They should be here tomorrow I can't wait to try them on. I still have 20 pounds to go, and I know I will need to buy more clothes then. My extra-large clothes are too big, and some of my large clothes are too big now too. Some of my newer large clothes are snug so they will fit nicely later on. I lost an inch off my backside. OK it's really strange to be smaller, I look at myself and don't know who I am at times. It feels like I just got smaller overnight, and I know that is not the case.
@Trooworld – Daisy is so adorable I'm glad she found such a loving home to be adopted in to.
@TeresaW1020 I am sorry to hear about your pastor. I hope you find one you like. I hate there are so many changes all at once for you to deal with. How did your hair turn out?0 -

Started going to a gym this past week. My knees were hurting so much barely able to walk for 3 days. I rested them and I'm better. Going back to gym tomorrow and try again.1 -
@trooworld congratulations on the adoption!
@micaroo4 I'm glad you had the chance to talk to your brother but sorry to hear of the relationship issues.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Well now I'm intrigued to hear about your daughter's husband's secrets too! I'm glad you had a good time with her and hope your son comes around soon, they're lucky to have you.
@LeahIsALoser @DanielleHeitzenrater @Cornanda @judiasverdes @davors19 @davidji82 some amazing losses!
@TeresaW1020 I'm so sorry to hear about your pastor needing to leave, keeping him in my prayers. You've been through so much I hope you realize how amazing it is how strong you've been this last year.
@infamouscandi Way to go in already breaking in the treadmill, it may as well know now who the boss is in that relationship right?!
@FushiaKat Your game looks awesome! I love your advice when this fiery side of you comes out, I bet you're one of those fun people who makes funny little comments under her breath that makes everyone laugh at dinners, I want to sit by you! Congratulations on the new clothes. It does take awhile to sink in that you're smaller, it's a weird thing. I know when I was going through clothes I didn't feel like I ever fit in the 3xs but was sure the size above what I was would be too tight and it was too big. I didn't recognize myself in the mirror too, some punk at Walmart was walking straight toward me one day and wouldn't move and it was my reflection in the mirror.
@chdh4ever I'm glad your knees are feeling better, good luck tomorrow.
Hi gang, just came home from my brother's, he's doing decompression therapy but it's not working yet so he's still in pretty bad shape. Worked out, watered twice at the food bank farm, went to my pain clinic appointment, then to my brother's for dinner and actually didn't go over eating pizza and drinking a beer surprisingly. I actually waited 20 minutes after eating before going back for seconds and didn't want it so it worked! The charity meeting last night was fun. Some HOA drama going on I need to look into after this so I'm off for the night, have a great Saturday gang!2 -

@judiasverdes Congrats on the loss! If you lost .4 every week for a year, you would be down nearly 21 lbs, which would be fantastic! Focus on your NSVs and try not to pay too much attention to the scale. The scale is not reliable but NSVs are.
@DanielleHeitzenrater Thank you!
@TeresaW1020 Thank you! Yes, she gobbled it right up lol. That's such a shame about your pastor. He's so young.
I'm so sorry. Hugs.
@micaroo4 I'm glad you got to videochat with your brother. I hope it clears up there. Great weigh-in.
@infamouscandi I'm doing great! How about you? Congrats on the new treadmill, that's exciting! Yay for improved mental health!!!
@RaquelFit2 Thank you! She is around 6 years old.
@LeahIsALoser I agree! I love me some pugs, this is my 4th pug!
@vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you! I'm glad you got some good mother-daughter time with Sydney. I'm glad you had a productive talk with the fiancee. Yay for a walk with a friend! Enjoy your weekend.
@FushiaKat Great job on your goals! Oh gosh about the blood draw. You are doing so well, such an inspiration! Thank you, we do love her to pieces!
@Chdh4ever Congrats on starting the gym! I'm sorry about your knees. I'm glad you were able to rest them.
@Katmary71 Thank you! Your poor brother. That's a great NSV with dinner.
@MOUNTAINMERMAIDCO Good luck to you, I'm sorry you are leaving.

@vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you I'm sorry to hear of the condition you suffer with but very happy to know of the positive impact exercise has on you and the choices that you make
@Katmary71 Thank you. Exactly this! Lol
@trooworld Thank you. That's great to hear. I'm good thank you, feeling very positive and motivated (for now anyway lol). Let's hope it stays this way 1 -
@trooworld Congrats on your loss!
Yeah, I hate it for my Pastor and I also hate it for his wife. You just never know when the life you are living will be turned upside down. 
@Cornanda thank you, sweet friend!
@Katmary71 Thank you so very much for your kind words! Hearing about being strong from someone like you, who inspires me all the time really means a lot! I pray your brother will get some relief from his pain soon. Good for you for waiting before going back for seconds. That is a great strategy to use. You want to talk about some HOA drama. The lady across the street painted her garage door a terrible fuchsia color. I just can’t think that is an approved color. Ohh and you look great in your new profile pic. 
@FushiaKat Ouch on getting stuck in both hands! My husband was told at his last oncologist visit that he is anemic too and almost borderline needing a transfusion. I’ve been trying to feed him more foods with iron like beef and spinach. That is great that you have some new clothes coming! My hair turned out great and I’m happy to have the grey covered and to have a style that is easy to fix.
Hi Team! Today has been a good day. Joe and I went to see the new Top Gun movie. As a 56-year-old woman, I must say that I’m liking this new 59-year-old Tom Cruise more than the boy in the original Top Gun that we watched the other night. Something about those crinkles around the eyes! I ended up eating way too much popcorn but it was worth it and I did do an intense workout this morning and will do another one tomorrow. I have one week before Joe's youngest son and his family come for a visit and while I probably won't lose any real weight I can at least work on not looking bloated.

@ROSEMAKE It is indeed a struggle but take it one meal, one bite, at a time and you'll make progress. Balance.
@infamouscandi That's great but remember motivation comes and goes, it's commitment that will keep you in the game. Let's do this!
@TeresaW1020 Thank you! That is true about life. Let's be grateful when it is good for us. I'm glad you enjoyed Top Gun and had a good time. Woo hoo to the workout!
Hi all. I had a great NSV moment yesterday: I had an old gift card to Cold Stone Creamery that I've been avoiding using. Well, DH wanted to go yesterday so I looked up the points before we went and found that even just the ice cream by itself would be more points than I get in a day and I know myself: I would want the fancy ice cream in the waffle bowl with toppings. So I decided it wouldn't be worth it and told DH he could have the card and get his ice cream. I went into the grocery store and got an easy meal to cook because I didn't feel like cooking. I had worked out on the Tonal and was tired.
I plan on meal prepping today. I hope that happens.

Ugh, I am not really sure what happened this week, but it probably involved drinking...not enough water, too much alcohol...which leads to late night snacking....
The 30 day challenge went out the window with the 64oz of water and not eating after 7:30, but at least I managed the 10000 steps all week.
I'm trying not to beat myself up about gaining almost 10 pounds back since October, but I am totally frustrated with myself.
I know exactly what I need to do (as I have done it before) and yet I can't get the motivation to do it again somehow 😪
Anyway enough of the pity party, it's so good to read about all your successes. Keep it up! And I will eventually get my head straight and join you in the green, not the red!!3 -

30-Day Summer Challenge goals.
Update for June 4th.
Walk 3000 steps - only 2944 pretty close.
Sleep 7 hours - 7 hrs. 58 min, I got up at 4am and ate a snack and went back to sleep at 4:30am I don't think I ate enough yesterday. The snack was only 40 calories.
Weigh everyday - Done
Track all my meals and stay under 1200 calories. - 1199 Done and actually I only ate one fruit bowl yesterday that I had made the day before and didn't eat, so probably less than that.
My iron levels and B12 levels are normal but my Ferritin level is 100 points above the high end of the range. I think that has to do with the inflammation from the RA and nothing else. My Rheumatologist said I'm slightly anemic, but I don't think that can be helped. The medication for the RA is causing it and I don't want to change because it's working so well. I have low red blood count and low hemoglobulin levels, but normal iron levels. I eat eggs, ground beef and shrimp which all have iron. The RA gives me fatigue. It is what it is.
I loved all of my new clothes and they all fit, the blouses could be a bit smaller, but I don't think I can wear a medium yet. I should order a medium and try it out. I bought another dress today.
Congratulations to Team Mission SlimPossibles for being #1 and to all my teammates on the leader board.0 -

Wahoooo on being in first place!! Way to go Slimpossibles!!
Today was a sad one for us at church. After the service, we had a business meeting and my pastor told the congregation that he was going to step down at the end of the month due to his health issues. He broke down a couple of times and so did the rest of us. I just hate losing him as my pastor and boss so much. But it's happening and I've got to accept it. I started planning a luncheon that we will have for him and his sweet wife on his last Sunday this month. It can be a retirement party because those are usually happy and this isn't happy. So, I'm going to get everyone to think of it as an appreciation party for them. I didn't eat my feelings today so that is a good thing. 2 -
@TeresaW1020 Thank you so much! LOL, that garage door must be horrendous! I'm so glad you and Joe enjoyed the movie, I'm thinking of going by myself this week. I'm so sorry your Sunday was so tough, I think it's wonderful you're doing a luncheon for your pastor and his wife. I hope they'll still be active in church activities even with him stepping down. Way to go on not eating your feelings, hugs my friend.
@trooworld That's a great NSV passing on the ice cream, I'm sure it wasn't easy but passing on it is amazing!
@gwamajtw91 You can do this my friend! Start small with little changes so you get some wins under your belt to start a good streak with. I'm the same with drinking, I don't eat a lot of carbs but if I have a drink or two I'm into the saltines or making popcorn.
Go Slimpossibles! @LeahIsALoser @infamouscandi @DanielleHeitzenrater Way to go gang!
@FushiaKat So glad to hear the clothes fit, that's awesome!
Hi everyone, hope your weekend was great! I worked out this morning then met my parents for lunch, it was good to see them but the restaurant was real packed so it was hard to hear. I have $10 off at Old Navy so I'll probably go get a pair of shorts tomorrow since most my pants/shorts don't fit. I'll work out and work first, my oral surgery is Thursday so I need to start thinking of what's easier to eat after that since it's two places with stitches. Have my last round of stretching and my summer challenge is done. Have a great Monday everyone!1 -
