    @Katmary71 oh my gosh 🥰 I love you for even putting in the effort to google it!!! 😂 I’ll have to check out the Carrie Underwood song, I didn’t know that! I’m so glad you didn’t fall completely!

    @vegan4lyfe2012 congrats lady!!! How exciting! I hope all goes well and you get to be there for many of the brightest moments!!! Also my one brother lives next door to my mom, my sister lives on the other side of her, and my little brother lived with her until 2 weeks ago and he only moved 3 miles away. I’m a 45 minute drive from them all when I’m home so ….. 😒 😂

    @Divya365 oh wow that sounds horrible. My best friend in high school really hurt herself by spilling a much too hot bowl of ramen noodles on her stomach. I still remember how awful the blister was so I can only imagine what your injury was like. My heart goes out to you!

    @leti126 Love those steps!!! I’m looking forward to celebrating a birthday for my son this week, been craving cake for a while now 😂

    @TeresaW1020 and @leonadixon great losses!!! 🥳
    My mom had her right knee replaced June 20th and will have her left knee replacement August 22nd! I’m so excited for her to be pain free soon!!!

    Thank you all for the encouragement. I’ve been a bit busy!

    Wednesday I made a last minute decision to get the heck outta there!! 😂 I drove to Dallas/Ft. Worth airport and flew to Vegas to hop in the truck with my hubs. We were only there for a few minutes before we drove to Phoenix to load the next day but after putting in all the work to detach they realized the piece of equipment we were picking up was actually in Tucson and they would close before we got there so we picked it up yesterday instead. We will be taking it to Denver and will head home before my sons birthday and I’ll stay home through my moms surgery. I figured out a way to do it all!!! 🤩

    To explain a bit bc I will probably talk about it often. My husband is an over the road heavy hauler. He drives a semi and pulls a low flat trailer and moves big construction equipment and oversized loads! His trailer comes apart in two pieces and everything he loads takes at least 4 (BIG) chains and 4 ratchet binders to secure the load. Any opportunity I get I jump out and get everything pulled out and ready while he is getting his trailer apart. I log this as a workout bc those chains and binders are heavy and it’s really quite a bit of work to chain down.

    A few years ago in my best shape ever I could pull, carry, sling, and throw those chains with little effort. After gaining weight through Covid and not going with him very much my sons senior year, I could barely pick up one chain. I’m really building my strength back up and can throw a chain across the trailer again!!! 😍 Not the most exciting thing to read about I know but now you don’t have to wonder what I’m talking about!!! 😂

    The best part is getting to hike new places and I’m holding out hope I get to hike this weekend since we aren’t too far from delivery and they won’t take it before Monday!! I hope you all have a great weekend and I hope I get to check in more frequently.

    @trooworld Your comment about the massage made me laugh, I went to a sports masseuse after I first fell and hurt my back and that wasn't what you think of a massage, you feel like you've been beat up after she spends an hour crushing Tiger Balm into every knot!

    @shaunarlr83 Your time with your husband sounds like hard work but it would be fun to be together and go hiking in new places. A friend of mine who was a book keeper decided when her son was old enough to get her trucking license to go with her husband, he'd passed away by the time I met her but their time together meant the world to her. Congratulations on seeing a difference in your strength, that's amazing! It's exciting to go up on weights but when you see practical uses for your newfound strength like being able to do something you were struggling with it means so much more.

    @bethanie0825 No worries, happens to all of us!

    Hi team! I'm struggling with being up in the middle of the night then sleep in later than I'm used to, still working on getting my anti-depressants for pain and sleeping figured out. I worked out fast then went to the food bank farm, went and picked up my new walker (she's the kindest person), went to the farmer's market, then came home and rested and read. Been having trouble with being hypoglycemic today for some reason, the farm wasn't very physical so not sure why but I'm keeping an eye on it. Have a wonderful Sunday gang!

    @trooworld - OMG! love the necklace!

    I'm rested up and looking forward to a better week at work. Not sure it will happen, but going in expecting that it will.

    Happy Monday Slims!

    I am able to slip in a quick spin class this morning (my company is having a quiet morning). Standing in line quickly trying to catchup.

    DAISY IS TOO CUTE in her necklace!!!

    I didn’t track all weekend, getting back on track this morning.

    Just busy really enjoying family, but I must say it is nice to be at the gym, it seems VERY quiet😆

    @trooworld Thank you, I'm fine now. "The devil I know" comment made me laugh. I hope you get to know who will replace your manager this week. Your dog is so cute. The pearl necklace looks good on her.

    @TeresaW1020 OMG I'm sorry to hear that. It must have been painful. By the way great loss this week. Congrats on being on the leaderboard !!

    @vegan4lyfe2012 Thanks, Jennifer. I was really glad that my baby was nowhere near me when the accident happened. Thanks for sharing the chickpea taco recipes. I love chickpea and will definitely try that.

    @Cornanda Thanks Lisa, It healed up pretty good. Happy Monday to you too. A new project in a new job is quite a challenge, Hope it gets better for you this week.

    @GabiV125 Nice Loss !!

    @Katmary71 Yes, It hurt quite a bit. I had to take 3-4 Tylenol tablets a day to help with the pain. It's all healed up now just working on fading the scar. Hope you were able to get good sleep. My father-in-law is diabetic and sometimes deals with hypoglycemia, we keep some cookies/ fruits near his bed so that he can snack on them whenever his blood sugar levels are low.

    @happysquidmuffin Greal loss and Congratulations on being on the leaderboard !!

    @leti126 Wow those step counts are amazing !! Hope you had a nice time at the birthday party :)

    @leonadixon That's a nice loss !! Glad to know that your surgery went well and it's healing well.

    @shaunarlr83 Yes, the blisters were scary. Looking at the blisters I was worried that it would leave a bad scar but it's not that bad some of it has already faded. Sorry to hear about your friend. I'm glad you could find a way to be there for both of them How nice that you could spend time with your husband and explore new places. Thanks for explaining. It's awesome that you can throw those chains across the trailer. That's definitely a good workout.

    @bgame4 Greal loss and Congratulations on being on the leaderboard !!


    Happy Monday Everyone.

    The weekend had been fun with family and friends. I walked a bit last week but didn't reach my 10K goal. This week I'm hoping to increase my step count. I'm planning to go for a walk after dropping our son off at school. I have a sendoff party this week for one of my colleagues, hopefully, I don't overindulge. I intend to log in my calories, so I can get back on track.

    Thanks to those who requested me I figured out the issue! In the last update my page went into dark mode and it over shadows the friend icon 😂 it’s still right where it always went as just have to look really hard to see it!!! When I went in to accept I could barely see the check mark yo accept so that’s what made me realize I need to go back and look for the add friend symbols! 🤦🏻‍♀️ So I’ll be adding y’all, just deny the request if you don’t have any new friends!!! 🙋🏻‍♀️

    @Happysquidmuffin @TeresaW1020 @bgame4 way to go gang!

    @laurelfit57 Congratulations on reaching and staying in your goal range! Enjoy your company!

    @trooworld Daisy looks like a perfect lady, love it!

    @shaunarlr83 I said this in the friend request message but I'm on my laptop and clicked on your name then on your profile and there's the option to add for those that are interested, I have trouble adding people too so I'm glad I figured it out!

    @Divya365 You got this with the step goal this week!

    @happysquidmuffin Congratulations on staying under your calories at your parent's house, that isn't easy! It's always a little amazing compared to how things used to be when you manage to do it, I used to go hog wild when I was at people's houses so I know it's a hard mindset to break.

    Hi team, happy Monday! Did my workout and some shopping then stuff around the house. Not much else going on, finished The Golden Couple earlier, was entertaining but a little far-fetched in trying to surprise the reader. Did vegetarian Monday today but didn't do anything too exciting, just a scramble for dinner and a tostada and protein drink and Greek pasta salad for lunch and snack. I'll have to plan better next time but had just defrosted 2lbs of turkey so I didn't want to make anything that would take a few days to finish up. Have a great Tuesday!

    @shaunarlr83 How awesome that you get to join your husband on his hauls and good for you for getting your strength back with those heavy chains. You’re a bada**! :grin: Ohhh and I added you as a friend. ;)

    @trooworld Ohhh Daisy is so cute with her pearls! <3

    @Cornanda Hoping you have a wonderful week and that the stress is minimal. :)


    Good morning Team! The dog dragged in a dead leaf from the yard. You know what that means right? Fall is coming!! I even bought some Pumpkin Spice-flavored coffee at the store to celebrate. :D Tonight is my TOPS meeting and I’m crossing my fingers for a good loss this week since last week’s loss was barely a loss at all. That barre program I started last week on Beachbody keeps freezing up and I can’t figure out what is up. So, this morning I’m returning to an oldy but goody and doing 80 Day Obsession. The program is amazing but the workouts are almost an hour long, which means I’m going to have to figure out how to make it fit into my life. Fingers crossed!! :)

    @Katmary71 – Yes, I’d ace Meatless Mondays hahaha! Was your scramble tofu or egg? I had leftover potato salad for lunch and my Angel Hair Fettucine for dinner. I saw your post on my timeline about The Black Phone just today. I need to figure out how to get notifications. Sorry about that! Yes, I saw it at the theater on opening day. Loved it! Not what I was expecting. I'd call it more crime thriller with a spot of supernatural. I'd love a prequel showing The Grabber's life leading up to those events.
    @leonadixon – So glad to hear you’re feeling better and healing! You’ll be sprinting around in no time!
    @shaunarlr83 – That’s hilarious how close your siblings live to your mom. Hope her surgery goes well and that you maintain your sanity. Sounds like a whirlwind few days last week! And my arms are aching just thinking about those chains! I’d love to hear more about your trucking adventures!
    @trooworld – Pearls! Hahahahahahahaha Daisy is ridiculously adorable!
    After work on Thursday, Hunter and I picked up groceries and instead of picking up pizza (the place raised the price on us and it was $34 for one pizza...not including the tip), we picked up vegan Italian sausages and fries from another local joint. That only set me back $24. Prices of plant based options around here are getting out of hand. Just another reason to get back to cooking my own meals. Rant over. So we settled in for the night with Anaconda and Anacondas (fun schlock). The next morning we played mini-golf (I won by 2 strokes) and then made the potato quesadillas. They were delicious once we figured out the right spices to add and the timing with the air fryer. She went home later that afternoon and I spent the evening rubber-stamping…so those of you that requested cards should be getting one soon (mailed them yesterday).
    Had a potluck at church and it’s so fun having another vegan family that started attending recently. Hunter made potato salad, I made chickpea avocado salad, and the other family brought taters, gravy and plant based “meat” balls, macaroni salad and peanut butter cookies. Yum! I kept it under control, tho, and had just a spoonful of each thing. Pretty proud of myself, actually. So not typical of me, but hopefully that will become my "norm".
    This evening is my stamping club that I run (down to just 3 ladies, but it’s still fun). So another busy day…I’ll go to that right after work and won’t get home until around 9-ish. I’m always hoping to check in here more often, but the days are going by so fast!
    Time for a cup of tea!

    Not too bad, I’ll take it! Went for an early run and walk this morning. It is so nice to watch the world wake up! Saw some swallows swooping (say that 5 times fast) over the canal. Emptied the last of the dishes from the sink. Got huckleberries and peaches into my freeze dryer. The huckleberries aren’t mine, but I get to keep a bunch as my fee for for freeze drying them. Mmm.

    Little Johnny went to Sunday school
    The teacher taught about his Grid took a rib out of Adam to make a wife first him. For the next couple of weeks Little Johnny is moping around. Finally his mom asks him what's wrong little Johnny? Little Johnny grabs his side and says I think my wife hurts.

    Hi All,
    It's a quiet Wednesday, I'm still sitting up my new computer, just the files left to transfer I think I got all the software I use all the time. I'm trying to build a Sandcastle contest room that has to be done by next week while I wait for the files to transfer to the USB drive. Life is pretty quiet for the most part. Hotter than you know what here. My electric bill will be $600 and that's keeping the temp set to 75 degrees. Nothing much else to report, I'm tracking and doing what I've learned how to do over the last year on MFP. Saturday was my 1-year anniversary. Less than 8 pounds to go, but even if I didn't lose those 8 pounds I would still be happy.

    @FushiaKat Happy one year anniversary Kat! That's amazing how well you've done in a year, almost done!

    @Jactop Great stepping!

    Slow night around here, hope everyone is doing well! Did my workout, picked up my sleeping pill and ran by my brother's, then have been doing things around the house and catching up with friends. Tomorrow's some work then cleaning and have a board meeting so I'll be home most of the day. I'm reading The Fifty Names of Rain, want to wrap it up tonight as it's been really good. Have a great Thursday!
