Happy Saturday Slims!
Well, the 7 went back in my weight for a day or two this week. I liked your post about habits @trooworld . I feel a bit out of control, but I see now that some of it is due to the reasons in the article. My exercise routine has been terribly disrupted and I've been eating "just because" But every day is a new day to start again and keep trying to do my best.
Still not sure about the job- doing a lot of training and getting up to speed right now. Will not really know what it all entails until August at earliest. I think it will be a good fit for me, but not sure yet. I don't see my routine being settled until Aug either.
I've been keeping up with your posts and think of you often!

HI everyone, doing a quick check-in, super sleepy right now. The concert last night was fun, I'm not feeling very social so that part of it was tough plus I didn't feel great but it was good to get out. Volunteered at the farm this morning and picked cherry tomatoes with my favorite volunteer and a new man who was one year sober as of today and doing community service, the three of us would've gotten into some trouble together if we'd grown up around each other back in the day. I've been watching Stranger Things all day, just finished season 2 and I'm headed to bed to read and hopefully fall asleep early. Have a great Sunday! I'm going to my brother's for dinner so will try to come on afterward, he invited my parents over as well, I was going to stay away for a bit but since he invited all of us I'll go.0

Happy Sunday Slims!
Walked 4 miles yesterday. It sure felt good. Missed too many walks in the past few weeks. Eating was OK, but still being a bit rebellious on the snacking. My daughter will be home for a visit the next few days- looking forward to that.
@digger61 - My sympathy to you and your family. That's a tough one.
@Katmary71 - sounds like you had a fun Saturday. Enjoy your family dinner!
Lisa1 -
@Cornanda I'm glad you liked it. Yes, every day is a new day and we can make better choices than the day before. Great job with the walk! Enjoy the time with your daughter. Good to hear from you.
@digger61 I'm so very sorry for your loss, how tragic.
@Katmary71 I'm glad you had fun at the concert. I hope you got a good night's sleep. Have fun with your family.
Hi all. I'm going to have a busy day doing meal prep as well as preparing the condo for a visit from my best friend. She's coming on Friday and staying with us so I want the house in top shape. Plus, we have to put this pain in the @zz cabinet together for the bathroom. My husband is definitely no handyman and I'm not much better so wish us luck lol.

@trooworld thank you so much for the encouraging feed back I need to get back to my exercise routine in the morning that is what I am going to do. I have been 7 months smoke free and it is hard to go camping with people who smoke in your face and have no consideration it makes me feel blah and sometimes makes me want to have one but I just keep thinking of all the health benefits it has given me!

@Katmary71 I love gardening it is honestly one of the best feelings and when I pick the food I know it is healthy and tastes so good I love cleaning, cooking and baking as well I also do crafts and make wreaths!!

Wow! You have a beautiful piece of property! I love gardening too. I clean a lot (can't say I love it...)but I do enjoy decorating my home just by moving stuff around until it looks right and bringing in flowers from the garden.1 -
@DanielleHeitzenrater - your garden is amazing! Wow!1

@bgame4 @infamouscandi @TeresaW1020 congrats on making it onto the leaderboard! Woot woot!
@vegan4lyfe2012 Congrats on the loss and congrats to your family on the wedding!
@DanielleHeitzenrater 7 months smoke-free is fabulous, congrats on that! That would be very hard to be around. I'm sorry that is the situation. Keep thinking of those health benefits! Wow, I love your garden! I'm jealous, I do NOT have a green thumb. In the beginning of spring, I planted begonias and they are all dried out and barely alive now lol. Your kitty is so cute, so is the turtle!
And can I say I LOVE your porch? I have a thing for porches and sitting outside. Yours is awesome!
@infamouscandi Wow, great loss, congrats!
Hi all. Not much to report, I do have a migraine I got while cooking in a hot kitchen last night so that's no fun.

Enjoy reading about everyone.. That garden gave me fash backs to earlier in my life. I never could grow cabbage. My husband of 51 years died and my lifestyle became numb and covid didn't help. My eldest daughter moved in with me and my puppies 🐶. It's been a year and I have started live a life again. My weight and health are my start. T4 -

I brushed my teeth with minty toothpaste everytime I wanted a smoke. Said thanks prayer at night. Been 30+ years free from 3 packs a day.1 -
@micaroo4 you are welcome for sharing the pics!!
@trooworld I love my porch to sit on at night it is so nice, quiet and relaxing I love hearing the crickets and looking at the stars!! there is a hot tub in the back but my fav part of the house is the wrap around porch we just bought the house last year and I really love it here.. the neighbors are all wonderful and very supportive!! this is the first year I have been able to grow my flowers and most of them have come through so it is nice to see! my Azaela bush is not doing that well but maybe next year it will perk up I just planted it this year!! it takes so much time to garden all of the stuff because I have so many gardens!!!
@Cornanda thank you it has been a lot of work but very happy when I cook fresh vegetables and meals from the garden and my kids actually eat most of it too I love to bake and cook!!!
@RaquelFit2 thank you I love gardening and I didn't want a lot of land but my husband did but it worked out for us both!!!1 -
@Cornanda Thank you! Have fun with your daughter.
@digger61 I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your grandson.
@trooworld Good luck getting the condo ready, I'm sure it will be awesome to have your best friend there.
@DanielleHeitzenrater I agree with you, there's something about cooking and feeding people with food you've grown that is so satisfying. Wow you sound like you have a lot of talent! I'd love to see your craft and wreaths some time. Beautiful cabbage! You have a huge veggie area, that's amazing and it all looks so healthy! Your yard is just beautiful. I'm glad you showed us everything, love seeing it and I love your enthusiasm, I'm a semi-new gardener and still get excited about it all! I started with herbs about 10-15 years ago and my dad was going to toss a tomato plant and I felt bad for it and took it even though at that point I wasn't really into tomatoes until I grew and tasted my own. I was wondering if that was a pet turtle, how neat to have it in your yard. Beautiful kitty too, I wish mine could go in the yard but there's coyotes around here, Jasper loves smelling everything when I come in though. Your porch is perfect to read on after a long day in the yard!
@infamouscandi @bgame4 @TeresaW1020 Way to go team, great losses!
@lindaprofota Hi Linda, I'm happy to hear you're starting to live again, sounds like you're headed in the right direction. I'm sure your daughter and your puppies bring you a lot of joy too.
Hi everyone, had my last day of physical therapy today, I'm going to miss it and I loved my therapist but she's going to a new job next week so no reason to stick around plus she's given me a lot to do on my own and when I go back to the gym. Did my cardio before it and she worked me out for an extra 15 minutes so I came home pretty beat. Dinner last night was nice, no issues aside of leaving my phone there and having to go back. I'm doing the rainbow challenge still on my feed with some people, a new recipe a week, then a dance challenge so I'm definitely maxed out on them! I'll go peek at the challenge going on now in here and see if it's something I can do. Have a great Tuesday everyone, tomorrow's the food bank farm where I'm going to bring home the seedlings so I don't have to go there W-F and just take care of them here plus volunteer hours.1 -
Hey team, I've been down and out with an ear and throat infection since July 4th. I did weigh myself on Wednesday July 6th as I was supposed to, it would appear I neglected to post it 🙄. It's been a pretty tough week, but I think I'm on the mend. I'd love to be able to say I've been reading all your posts, however I'd be lying, now that I'm able to be upright I'm hoping to start catching up.
I hope everyone had a good week!!

@lindaprofota - that's great that you are starting to live again. That is a really hard life change to go through.
@teshea69 - glad you are feeling better and able to be upright.
@trooworld - hope your migraine is gone now
@Katmary71 - Glad therapy went well and you are ready for the gym. What are you talking about that you're semi new to gardening? You seem like a master to me!
NSV for Monday:
Tried to get up early to get a walk in, but I seem to be challenged setting my phone alarm lately- Fail.
Did walk after work and did a short cardio workout
Figured out that I could sneak in a weight workout at lunch since I can eat at my desk after my break- will try that later this week.
Have a good Tuesday!

@vegan4lyfe2012 Congratulations to the Newlyweds!! Beautiful couple. Maybe things will be less hectic for you now.0 -
@teshea69 Oh no, I hope you feel better, take good care of yourself! Don't worry about catching up, just jump back in when you're up for it, glad you're able to be upright, that's headed in the right direction.
@Cornanda How is the job going? Sounds like you're getting in your exercise, way to go!
@vegan4lyfe2012 How did the dance go? Congratulations to them, they look so happy!
Hi everyone! Had a real busy day, got up and did my cardio then helped at the food bank farm. I bunched basil, cleaned onions, packed lettuce, then brought home 6 trays of seedlings and started more corn. He was going to get rid of basil seedlings, so I have 40 more basil plants stuck around my yard, he started laughing when I said he can't kill them because I did that with all the onion seedlings too though they aren't doing too well. I rushed to the farmer's market then had a telehealth call, took a nap, then read and spent time in the garden this evening. I'm watching Stranger Things so time to sign off, have a great Wednesday!1 -
@lindaprofota Welcome to the team. I'm very sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what that must have been like for you. You've got this.
@DanielleHeitzenrater Oh that sounds heavenly! I'm so glad you have such a peaceful place to come home to. And with great neighbors? Lucky you! Gardening is great exercise though!
@Katmary71 It's all ready thanks! I'm very excited for my friend to come. We will have so much fun! Congrats on your graduation from PT. Sounds like you had a super busy day yesterday.
@teshea69 Oh no! I'm sorry you've been sick. I'm glad you are on the mend.
@Cornanda Thanks, it is gone but there is still a headache there, has been there all week. Yay for walking after work and the cardio workout!
@vegan4lyfe2012 What a beautiful couple! They radiate happiness. So good to see. Thanks for sharing.
@FushiaKat Congrats on the loss!
Hi all. Yesterday, our internet was down in the morning so that is why you didn't hear from me. We are all ready for my friend's visit. My migraine is gone but now I have had this headache all week, less than a migraine but annoying. I haven't been tracking, it sort of slipped through the cracks. I will probably start tracking again today.

@digger61 I’m so very sorry for the loss of your grandson. ((((hugs))))
@vegan4lyfe2012 Congrats on a beautiful wedding!! The newlyweds look amazing and so happy!
@Katmary71 I can imagine you saving all those baby plants and giving them a good home. But what will do with all that basil!
@trooworld I hope you have a great visit with your best friend and that your headaches will disappear. My sister and I put hung a cabinet in the bathroom the other day and it was a struggle so I feel your pain!
Good morning! Where has the time gone! Work has been super busy with lots of different things. Home life is good. Joe has felt well these last few weeks, so I’m super thankful for that. My sister is fitting in very well. We started a 3000-piece puzzle and have been working on it in the afternoons. My diet has been going OK but not great. I really need to work on fasting longer and eating less. I do plan to get in a workout this morning before my crazy day gets started. Have a good day!
