I’m on day what….12 now of this freakin head cold 🥴 a week ago a migraine was added and I suffered through it for 40 hours, I’ve had a slight headache ever since but nothing that stops me from doing anything. Tuesday could quite possibly have been a zero day, although EVERYTHING I did that day was to better myself and try to feel better. Hated that I already had to clock out of work an hour early that morning and called in that night, it gave me several days off and I didn’t manage to do much of anything those days aside from spending my first paycheck 😜 and hiking 3 miles on St. Pattys Day!
Work has been so busy but I like when it’s busy. Agreed to an extra shift Friday which means no weekend fun but that will even out my next paycheck after calling in.
After this 12 hour shift I’m going hiking with my hiking friend and then have to be back at 7pm for another 12 hour shift. I’ll have 2.5 days off before 5 in row.
This weekend our plans for the races again were cancelled when cold weather moved back in, it’s been crazy windy ever since, I took my kids and brother out to eat and then to the movies! @vegan4lyfe2012, we also watched 65!!!
Drama between my mom and sister ruined my sisters 30th birthday on Sunday so I’ve spent quite a bit of time staying at my daughters and my son has been with his friends since Thursday night. I miss our early morning chats on the ride home. His car is at the mechanic, I got $1000 assistance for vehicle maintenance and decided to put it towards his car that was broke down rather than the truck I’m using, wouldn’t you know it the truck is messing up now. Ugh…Life!
Also on Sunday I leaped and gave a guy I’ve liked forever my number….I immediately regretted it. I was so nervous and awkward and just felt like it was a huge mistake. I don’t think I will hear from him. I don’t plan on chasing just whoever, there was just something about him, but I’m going to focus on getting back on track with exercise. I still have huge plans of looking my best by my birthday and that is quickly approaching. The days just fly by at rapid pace since I’ve started working. Realizing now all the time I had on my hands before that I never utilized! 🤦🏼♀️
My new motivation is making these size small scrub pants fit comfortably, I started in my daughters larges that swallowed me, went to a medium and they were still loose, tried a small and was shocked they fit but they don’t flatter me much at all. That’s my goal! Be in all size small pants by my birthday and look good in them!!! 🤩
I’m glad people are feeling better, sorry for major upsets, happy for new pets and opportunities, and the season that makes everything feel new and wonderful again!!!

OMG people- I skip one day and come back to 34 posts! Love it!
Love the pet and make up pix, esp @19shmoo69 ......
@vegan4lyfe2012 - THANK YOU for the gorgeous card!
Was pretty busy last week- daughter was home for spring break week and did lots of stuff with her. Did pretty well eating small portions of the "home cooking" she likes and lots of veggies. During the week, I found out that my high school bestie, who has fought breast cancer 3 times was actively dying. I knew she had routine tests and then very little communication- so that's what I feared was happening. I found out she was in hospice a few hours before she passed. A death is always shocking even if you think you are ready for it. After all that fighting, it only took a couple of weeks for everything to unravel. She was 54. I was planning to go see my Mom in April, so I pushed up the trip and am now going this week so I can attend the funeral. My Mom has Alzheimers and it sounds like she has slipped a lot since I last saw her. I might need a vacation when I get home from this one.
@broncobuddee - I will have to skip my weigh in this week.
Hug your friends and family and tell them how much you love them.

@AustinRuadhain Congrats on the loss and way to go with your no zeros! That's great you skipped the off-plan foods. Not easy at a party! Violet is wonderful! More below.
@vegan4lyfe2012 I do, I love it, you are so talented! Wow, you are a fast reader. I've read The Whisper Man, I was so-so about it but then again, I'm not into crime thrillers/thrillers so that may have been why. That's good that the birthday celebration went well. Enjoy the movies!
@Katmary71 Thanks! More below on Violet. We have made pizza in our cast iron skillet and I love the way it turns out. Great job with your no zeros, especially knowing your limit!
@DrewsAnna I saw that IP baked ziti recipe, it sounds really good. Let us know how you like it! Great job with the exercising!
@shaunarlr83 Oh gosh, that sounds miserable! Wow, 3 miles on St Patty's day AND still sick? You are fierce! That's too bad about the drama and your truck starting to cr@p out. Why do you think it was a mistake giving that guy your number? Are you not ready?
@Cornanda I'm so sorry about your friend. Hugs.
Hi all. It's been the Pug Olympics here lol. We picked up Violet last night and the dogs warmed up pretty quickly to each other. They started chasing each other around the condo like mad dogs. It's been fun so far. I think Violet is a little over a year old. I will insert a pic. I had a pretty good day yesterday. I was tempted to get a frozen pizza for dinner but did not, we got a salad pack and some chicken breasts from the store instead.

🎉Congratulations to those who made the leaderboard this week 🎉
@txcritter69, I love the bread but now that I see how much better I feel I am not craving it. I never would have thought how the cravings would pass. I hope you get your remodeling done, so you can get back to your gym. 🏋🏻 Diesel is adorable.
@DrewsAnna love the selfie. You look great 😊 well done on the workout.
@19shmoo69 great selfie, your makeup is so natural 😜
@Katmary71 Armenian pastries, yum! What were they? I need details hehehe. Oh I need pizza in my cast iron. That should make a crispy crust. 🤤
@sleepygirl79 the beast is a cutie.
@trooworld glad you managed lasagna night. That would have done me in. Perfect comfort food. Violet is a cutie patootie!
@AustinRuadhain well done on skipping the things off plan. You’re doing amazing! I’ll have to check out blankenshipsMA. Lethargic lizard 🦎 was a good mental pic for you all. 😂! I’m getting my steps in so you have all the chance to knock me out of first in your evenings. Hehehe! I may slow down tomorrow though. You all may pass me by 👏🏻
@vegan4lyfe happy belated bday to your daughter.
@shaunarlr83 keep up those hikes. Im cheering for you to reach your bday goal!
@Cornanda I know I am so behind on posts. Group has been busy.
So sorry about your bestie 💐 Its nice that you’ll be able to make the funeral.

Since everyone is sharing their furry friends. This is Queenie (GS) and Princess. 2 of our 3 rescues.
Hope the picture loads. My first try 😬2 -
Ok got the picture up. Somehow I shared a screenshot of an Amazon order too 😂 so happy there’s an edit option.
Well, my husband woke up sick yesterday. I scrambled to get the troops ready, the frontlines organized and quarantine ready. We do not want to share the 🦠.
It was great for getting 12k steps in. Thankfully he’s better today.
Today I bought some knee disc cushions for exercising, some foam blocks and a new Adidas top as a reward for sticking with it. My new Nike arrived and they are so cushy. That will great for my walks. I’m prepping for summer break. Wohoo!
I woke up with a bit more of a loss today, hope it sticks.
I’m off to do my cycling and strength training. I feel odd saying this but I’m kinda happy to do it.
Ok this phone tried to put donut instead of do it. Hmmm! Subconscious???
Have a great day!

Good Morning!
@micaroo4 Thank you!
@DrewsAnna Love the picture, you look awesome! Sorry your dinner was cancelled, but great job on get in some exercises.
@JenAWhite I wish I had your strength to resist the temptation. If it is front of me it has no chance 😂
@19shmoo69 👍Looking good👌
@Katmary71 Thank you! Cold front passed so will be trying to put all my plants back outside later today when the sun peaks out.
@AmbersWay Great job on the WI! Your crybabies are Adorable
@sleepygirl79 your beast is SO CUTE. CONGRATULATIONS for being on the leaderboard!
@trooworld I am so happy that Daisy and Violet hit it off. She is a CUTIE
@AustinRuadhain Thank you! CONGRATULATIONS on your loss!
Everyone needs to take a break sometimes. I took it easy on Sunday to, which I am glad I did. Had no idea that yesterday was going to be the day I ripped out the flooring in bathroom (last minute decision). Glad I did it. Only 2 more areas to go😪
@vegan4lyfe2012 I am the same way with books that pull me in. Nothing is getting done. 🎊Happy Birthday 🎊 to your daughter! Enjoy the John Wick re-watch.
@shaunair83 Sorry you are still suffering from cold. What a great day St.Pattys Day.
@Cornanda I am so sorry to see your friend passed. Spend as much time as you can with your mom. Time lost can never be found.
Well, me sleep routine is not going as planed. I have been trying to get more 7 to 8 hrs. BUT When I wake up I am tired. Don't feel like do anything. Sunday night I about 5 1/2 hrs and was like let's do this (ripped out flooring) where did I muster up the energy, to knock it out. Today I am soar but i feel good about myself. Last night I only managed 6 hrs of sleep.
Today's plan is to move all my plants back outside now that the cold front has moved out. Just waiting for temp to warm up to around 60 so I can get outdoors. It is drizzling right now so will wait a bit.
Have a good day everyone!
☕Today is
like COFFEE
It will be
As Good As
YOU MAKE IT☕

@shaunarlr83 Keep your hopes up! Way to go on giving the guy your number. That takes guts. Wish I could have done that when I was younger.
Loving the doggy pics!
Thanks to everyone on the congrats.
Today I’m in a bigger city (2.5hr drive) for a doc appointment. I plan to make it worth it with some shopping. Will try my best not to go too gluttony at lunch. Kinda craving a Starbucks, but those are loaded with calories. Proud for navigating the streets of the big city…so far. Siri is great at navigating.2 -

The most important thing to remember is to stay hydrated at all times. Lol, I dream about a big fluffy biscuit with butter and honey, but I have the taste of it to remembered so it's not so bad, I can resist the craving. I'm very proud of myself for maintaining so far, but I'm still experimenting with how much I can eat. Yesterday I cheated but only by about 200 calories.
Go Team! Mission Slimpossibles, 2nd place this week! @megnolia82 @sleepygirl79 @AustinRuadhain Congratulations to the winners!3 -
@DrewsAnna – That IP baked ziti sounds fabulous! Share the recipe if you can!
@shaunarlr83 – So glad you loved your card and you received it right on the dot! I really enjoyed 65…brainless fun
Good luck with those scrubs! You can do it!
@Cornanda – I am so sorry about your friend. She was so young. Prayers for her family and friends and for your trip to see your mom. It’s heartbreaking when the people we love don’t remember us. Hugs.
@trooworld – Did you mention The Whisper Man on here previously? Maybe that’s why I was drawn to that when I saw it on the shelf at the library! I am all about the crime thrillers and that style of books, so it was right up my alley. And OMGoodness! Nope! Violet is not leaving your household for sure! Hahahaha! What a stinkin’ cutie!
@AmbersWay – Love your autocorrect donut…hahahaha!
@txcritter69 – Wanna come to my house to rip up flooring? I can’t muster anything!
@sleepygirl79 – Pick up anything fun when shopping today?
Side note to @shaunarlr83, @trooworld and @Cornanda – I had sent those cards all out early enough and they all ended up back in my mailbox days later with a note from my post office that they each needed 7c more postage. Seven! Like really, Mr. Postman? Seven.Freaking.Cents. And how long did they sit at my local P.O.?!? I’m so glad they still made it in time!
So my lame brain idea of getting pizza and watching the movie yesterday was a stupid idea. The pizza place was closed. I called my mom to tell her. So then she wants the vegan hot dog place. Closed on Mondays, too. I told her we could just make spaghetti at her place. Y’all. That almost 80 year old woman threw a freaking toddler temper tantrum! She wanted take out as if her life depended on it. I told her she needed to admit she was acting like Veruca Salt from Willy Wonka. She admitted it. So then she wanted Chinese. Thank you, God! It was open! Then, once we started watching the movie, she and Hunter wouldn’t stop making silly remarks about everything. I told them I was going to watch 2 and 3 by myself and go to see 4 by myself. Forget those jokers. I have GOT to find me a local group of friends I can start watching movies with. Those two were ridiculous. I must be insane since I always think the next time will be different. OK. Enough of my First World Problems rant. Breathe, Jennifer. Ima go eat some fruit. Have a good night, Peeps!

I got my plants back outside and planted my herbs and veggies in garden. We will see how it goes. Still have trim to do, but I am happy with it.2

Diesel wanted in on the photo shot😂2 -
Hi everyone! Catching up quickly and headed to bed. Having a bad pain night, hopefully the barometer pressure won't be as bad the next two days as it is tonight.
@Cornanda Oh Lisa I'm so sorry to hear about your high school bestie, huge hug! You never expect childhood friends to not be there one day, they're almost as permanent as our immediate family. I think seeing your Mom sooner is a great idea.
@sleepygirl79 Oh if you see this in time if you do a cold brew at Starbucks with light (or full is only about 200 calories) vanilla sweet cream or salted caramel cream it's is a good swap if you're used to things like mochas and frappaccinos. The iced brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso is good too, it's my favorite of the shaken espresso ones and those are lower than the full cream versions of cold brews or Nitros. I used to go there and get a Venti frapp or white mocha with a muffin having no clue that's basically a day's worth of calories and enough sugar for a week! Good luck with the doctor and have fun shopping!
@shaunarlr83 I hope you're feeling better fast, you've really been hit with it and need a break. I love that you gave the guy you've liked for a long time your number, that would be great if you hear from him but even if you don't you should be proud of yourself for being so brave. When I met my current boyfriend in person for the first time we were both crazy nervous (first date in 25 years for me and since his divorce over 10 years ago and we had a few dates over a weekend), I actually thought it was sweet he was nervous and he felt that way too so you never know! I'm sorry to hear about the tension between your mom and sister, it's so stressful to feel like you're in the middle of two people you love. YES to smaller clothes! When is your birthday?
@AmbersWay OK I only saw Princess at first in that photo, they're both beautiful but she actually looks like a princess too! Queenie knows she's beautiful too but doesn't need to be front and center! I could be reading too much into the picture of course. The Armenian pastry is a "gata", ironically I thought the bakery that made it was Nazooks but that's another name for it (in Armenian which I don't speak) as I learned Googling it. Here's the Wiki description then following that is a link to a recipe (never tried making it so no clue if hers would be good): "Nazook (also spelled nazuk or nazouk, Armenian Նազուկ) is the name of an Armenian pastry made from flour, butter, sugar, sour cream, yeast, vanilla extract and eggs, with a filling often made with nuts, and especially walnuts. Nazouk is sometimes referred to as gata." You can find it in Winco's bakery area by Nazooks if you want to try it, if it's stale or just because it's tastes great that way pop it in the microwave for about 10 seconds. It's also at Middle Eastern bakeries and stores as well or you can try this recipe:

@DrewsAnna Yum baked ziti sounds amazing! Great job on the workout too, you're doing awesome righ tnow!
@trooworld Love seeing Violet, she's SO cute! Sounds like the dogs hit it off and you're very likely going to have another fail.
I think two pugs happily chasing each other would be the cutest thing ever, just picturing it has me smiling!
Talk to you all tomorrow, make it amazing!
No Zero Days
- great workout, lower body and ab strengthening, dance, stretching
- great water as I've had a lot of tea
- semi-healthy day and under calories (was trying to use up a jar of tomato sauce so I made pizza and the skinnytaste meatball back to back).
Have a great Wednesday!2 -
@Katmary71 the pastries sound similar to Hungarian Kifli’s. My grands were from Hungary and Belgium. It plays a lot into why I love food and cooking. My grandmother was always in the kitchen and she included everyone with helping/learning.
Well done on your no zeros!
@vegan4lyfe2012 omg! Your mom’s tantrum may be my future. I can see myself older and pickled about not getting my favorite meal. Heck I get pickled now when I am hungry. My husband will ask when I last ate. It probably has something to do with my hypoglycemia but we get a giggle out of it. Everyone is like feed mom quick.
@txcritter69, your garden is looking great.
—-
No zeros
I managed 13k steps
I did my 40 minutes cycling and 20 of strength training.
I cleaned and cleaned some more (never ends)
I treated myself to a new top and shoes for working out. Whatever these Nikes are, they’re super comfy. I’m getting ready for summer. I hope to get some good walks in.
I also started investing more in my skin care. I turned 47 last week(ish) and figure I better step it up with my potions and lotions. So far my skin has held it together 😜 I’m not a big shopper, I go out once in a while and try to get months down at once. So this time is skin care and work out items. Also got knee cushions (my knees are weak) and yoga blocks. Trying to keep the workouts without feeling miserable later.

Hey y'all!
Congratulations to everyone on your losses this week. I can't remember who posted the picture of their fur babes but, I love them and I'm sending them virtual hugs 🤗🤗
Today was another great day! I had a healthy breakfast and a healthy dinner. Lol, I had pizza for lunch but, right when I was done eating I leashed up my best buddy and took a 2 mile walk. When I got home I found a standing arms & core workout. I really liked it and I'll be doing it again.
We didn't have the baked ziti tonight and probably won't tomorrow either. I still haven't gone grocery shopping because the weather has been nice, tomorrow is our last day of nice weather till next week sometime. I decided to go grocery shopping this weekend and have this weeks meal plan next week. Here is the recipe.

@AmbersWay Yeah it was really good. Thank you about Violet! Queenie and Princess are beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I hope you don't get your husband's bug. Oh I just read he's better, that's good. Those sound like great rewards. LOL about donut. I also invested in skincare fairly recently, I'm 54 and thought it was time.
@txcritter69 Thank you! I'm sorry sleep isn't going well. Good luck with the plants! Oh I'm glad the planting went well, it looks really nice! Diesel awwwww.
@sleepygirl79 I hope it went well.
@FushiaKat I need to work harder on hydration. Great maintenance weigh-in.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Maybe? I'm glad you liked it! She is totally not leaving lol. Yes, the card came on St Patty's Day (I think) so just in time! I'm sorry all the places were closed on Mondays. That stinks. I'm glad Chinese was open. Sorry about the movie drama lol.
@Katmary71 I'm sorry about the pain. Hugs to you. Thank you! Probably another fail lol. It is pretty cute to see them chase each other. Great job getting your no zeros in through the pain!
@DrewsAnna I'm glad you had a great day. Thanks for the link.
Hi all. I woke up dizzy/off-kilter. I hope I can rally so I can drive to work. I've got stuff to do. We found out Violet is only barely 9 months old! We thought she was around 2 years old. She acts very much still young. She needs much more exercise than my 7+ year old puggy.

I'll write later...just wanted to share my lunch for inspiration - it's all my own home grown Grand Rapids Lettuce with red cabbage, carrot, green onion, grape tomatoes, bakon and Brianna's brand French Vinaigrette

@vegan4lyfe2012 sadly, I did not find anything worthy when shopping. Next weekend is cross border shopping, so I'm sure to find something then. What movie did you watch? Sounds like your mom is living her best life. I'm a bit of a child when it comes to things like that. I'll forever love a good poop or fart joke. haha
@Katmary71 thanks for the Starbucks suggestion! I ended up deciding not to go, but I will keep this order in mind for my next craving. I usually do fraps/capps as I don't love a strong coffee taste. Those look good! Hope you are feeling less achy today.
The appointment was fine yesterday. The drive tuckered me out and my lunch did not sit well. It was nice to get home. I snuck an hour nap in before supper and then headed out with my teen and his buddy to a games night it town. They have a bunch of different board/card games at a little bakery/cafe and you can learn and play different ones. It's really fun. Plus: I did not order any baked goods or drinks while there! I did sneak a tiny bite of my son's cheesecake though (I paid for it after all). lol! Seriously, it was tiny!1 -
@vegan4lyfe2012 - So you like thrillers! If you have Netflix, take a look at The Recruit. My husband and are enjoying it.
I am way behind you and @KatMary71 on movies, though. Do you like Lee Child's books?
White Grape Tea sounds yummy. I will watch out for that.
Your salad picture is gorgeous! I love that you grew some of that yourself!
@19shmoo69 - Nice to have the teens roped into doing yard work! Enjoy it while it lasts!
@Katmary71 - How are you doing today? Is the barometer treating you any better? Sending virtual hugs.
@DrewsAnna - Hurray for all that shopping. Did you get in your walk today?
@shaunarlr83 - It sounds like life is being super busy. Hang in there!
So sorry about the headache and the family drama. Any news on the misbehaving truck? (I drive a very old car, too. I hope the truck recovers!)
@Cornanda - I am so, so sorry to hear about your friend. So sorry. What a heartache for you. 💐
@trooworld - Thank you for making me smile with the Pug Olympics. Violet is adorable!
@AmbersWay - Queenie and Princess are gorgeous, and they look so happy!
@txcritter69 - Wait, you just ripped out the floor in your bathroom? You are a house project monster! Wow! Oh, and Diesel is so cute!
@FushiaKat - Woohoo! Great weigh-in this week!
Tuesdays are super long for me this semester, and I headed to bed early last night. I started reading posts and realized I was halfway to sleeping!
I am having a good No Zero Day so far.
🟢Eating fruits and vegetables
🟢Fasting window (aiming for 17-7)
🟡Steps (haven't made my daily goal yet, but am headed out for a walk shortly)
🟢Hydration
🟢Organizing/decluttering
🟡Martial arts practice (need to fit something in this evening; this is what I do for strength training)3 -
@AmbersWay They do sound similar to Kifli's for sure, I Googled them and they have the same ingredients aside of the ones with jam in them. Great no zeros!
@DrewsAnna You go check ou out with the awesome walk and standing workout! Enjoy every day of the nice weather! OMG that recipe looks even better than I imagined!
@megnolia82 Good evening, hope you had a wonderful day and tomorrow is even better!
@trooworld Thank you, hugs back! I hope to see more pictures and would love to see those two together. I love seeing pictures of everyone's kids, grandkids, and pets and what their lives are like. Wow so Violet's still a puppy, she's going to keep Daisy on her toes! I hope you're feeling better when you read this.
@vegan4lyfe2012 That's an absolutely beautiful salad! It's funny how it feels twice as good when it's harvested from something you've grown.
@sleepygirl79 Oh then I'd definitely skip Nitro and probably the cold brew too. Weirdly the shaken espressos don't taste as strong even though they're lower calorie. When I was making cold brew at home I was going through a TON of coffee so I get how that would be too strong for you. Games night sounds like a lot of fun, did he have a favorite? My older nephew likes playing games though these days he's most likely on the computer, that's great your son enjoys physical ones.
@AustinRuadhain I enjoy Lee Child's, I haven't read a lot but a few! Hugs back to you, I had a tough night and am not feeling the best but plan to wake up stronger tomorrow. In a few days the rain will go away thank goodness. Amazing No Zero Day, way to go! I need to copy you with decluttering but I DID give my mom back about 20 books last weekend (when I drop books at the library the “friends of the library” books jump in my arms and beg to be adopted).
Hi team! Had a tough night, I finally got my pain to calm down enough to sleep and my chest started burning. I was mad since I ate dinner at 5PM and it was 12:30AM and figured I shouldn't have it so when I Googled to see how much baking soda to drink in water to calm it down and saw something about NSAIDS I clicked it and NOW I know what the problem has been, I take one around 9:30 on an empty stomach and it gives me heartburn every once and awhile. I got up and ate and was probably over calories but to stop the burning or because I have low blood sugar I don't beat myself up over extra calories. I've lost my glasses lens too which I did last year on the opposite side but found, now that it's on my dominant eye I'm getting nauseous walking around without one (I thought my allergies were making my vision weird and must have lost it a few days ago). Heck if I know where it was but since my vacuum was just badly clogged and I tossed a bunch of cat hair and the cans have been taken I'm assuming it's at the dump as the suction wasn't working well before I'd dumped it and sent it home with my dad to look at). I'm so lucky my head's attached and I can't lose it! Workout good, had to cut up a branch which I sat down to do. Pain's still bad but I need good sleep and no rain so I'm making the best of it. Have a great Thursday! I'm going to lunch with a friend tomorrow and working on a project so I'm off to bed.
No Zero Days
Under calories and got a healthy salad at Jack's Urban Eats when I went out
good workout (chair cardio, arms and abs strength, and stretching plus a little yard work)

@vegan4lyfe2012 That looks really good!
@sleepygirl79 I'm glad the appt went okay. The game night does sound fun, I love that kind of thing.
@AustinRuadhain Thank you! Get some sleep.
@Katmary71 Will do! Thank you, not feeling much better, more on that later. I'm sorry you didn't sleep well, I hope your pain gets better today.
@GabiV125 Congrats on the loss!
Well, I was feeling awful yesterday (nausea, lightheaded/dizzy/off-kilter, headache). At first, I thought it was low blood sugar so I drank OJ and ate a breakfast sandwich but that didn't help so called my healthcare provider. They wanted me to go to urgent care so I did. They were concerned about a possible stroke so they did an EKG, ran a lot of blood work but they also gave me IV fluids in case I was dehydrated. The blood work and EKG didn't give any clues. If I wasn't feeling better, they wanted me to go to the ER but after the fluids, I *thought* I was feeling a little better so they sent me home. I wasn't feeling better, I realized as I went to the car, but I didn't go to the ER. I just couldn't sit for 6-12 hours in the ER feeling like that. I also have things to do, today Violet gets spayed and tomorrow Daisy gets an echocardiogram. I promise I am monitoring my symptoms.

Good Thursday Morning!
I hope everyone's week is going great for them. It has been pretty busy here.
@AmbersWay Thank you! So true on cleaning. As soon as I finish one room and move on esteem the mess just finds it way back to the one I finished.
Awesome that you treated yourself to new workout items. It is important to replace shoes often when you use them A LOT. A few yrs. Ago when I was walking Sansa (she was my walking buddy) everyday I went through shoes every 3 to 4 months. Once my feet started hurting it was time for new ones.
If you or @trooworld run across a really good deep wrinkle cream let me know. 😁
@DrewsAnna awesome on food choices and adding I exercises to fix your fumble at lunch.
@megnolia82 Hope your day is awesome.
@trooworld It's ok. I don't think my body is cut out for all that sleep. I heard that when you wake up that is when you should get up. That is your body telling you it has had enough sleep.
I am really hoping my garden works out. Last yrs I planted green beans 3 times and the all died when they would reach about 7 to 8 in high🤞
I am sorry yoh are not feeling well. Do take care of yourself.
@vegan4lyfe2012 OH MY 👀 That salad 😋 I hope to one day pull that out of my garden. If I ever finish my house I will come rip up yours. As long as I don't have to lay the new stuff. 😉
@AustinRuadhain Yes, we have been living in our house for 23 yrs. We started remodeling back in 2020. It has been a long slow process. We have already replaced flooring in living, dinning and one of the bedrooms. But I am loving every bit of it. This are the rooms almost finished. We still have baseboards and trim to do.
You are doing great on your no zero days.
@Katmary71 I am sorry yoh are hurting,but I totally understand. I hope the pain eases up. Sounds like you have been having some crazy days.
@GabiV125 Awesome weigh in!

@txcritter69 love before and afters!
I’ll take a picture when I get up later of my night/day cream along with the gua sha (spelling) I bought. I am pretty wrinkle free but I had 2 decently deep lines on my forehead . Since doing that thing daily with my clarins its had amazing results. I’ll try to see if I have a before pic that is clear.
@Katmary71 I hope you’re feeling better. Definitely be careful with the nsaids. They can be harsh on your tummy. I’m allergic but have kept up with side effects for my mom.
@trooworld I hope you’re feeling better. Keep track of your vitals and log your symptoms.
My eyes are closing. I’ll be back after a nap to continue2 -
@txcritter69 Your before and after pictures are inspiring! What fun! I especially love the puppy supervising in some of the photos!
@trooworld - I am glad you are keeping an eye on yourself as well as the pups. I loved that your no zero day was dog walks -- fun and healthy. I do hope you are feeling better.
@GabiV125 - Monster weigh-in this week -- hurray!
@Katmary71 - I am glad you figured out the NSAID issue, and can take care of your stomach as well as pain. Have you found your glasses lens?
Oh, and I salute you for getting 20 books out of your house. I need to do more of that!
I am off to work on taxes. Woohoo?

@vegan4lyfe2012 that salad looks delicious. Lol, it almost made me drool a little 😅😅😅
@AustinRuadhain Oh boy, I have walked, worked out, used my dumbbells and my resistance bands. Lol, I'm feeling the burn and feeling great.
@txcritter69 I love your before and afters. It all looks great. I really love your pup.
Hey y'all,
I've been doing pretty good. My food choices have been improving and lol, I've been exercising like crazy. Walking, working out, using my dumbbells and today, my resistance band. I feel really good with my progress.
Yesterday, I took a break though, I was sore, tired and kind of upset because one of my older feral cats passed away. I am pretty sure I should not have animals, because I just get attached so easily. When they pass its like I lost a family member.
The pictures are from my walk the other day. I just love being able to see the mountains.
Y'all have a great evening/day 🙂

Finally made it back 😜
@DrewsAnna really sorry about kitty. So happy for your doing so great with eating and exercise. Well done. A good loss too! Beautiful pictures.
@vegan4lyfe2012 the vibrancy of that salad is gorgeous.
@FushiaKat you’re doing great at maintaining. The tip of staying hydrated is such a great reminder for all of us. Thank you!
@GabiV125 well done on your loss.
@Katmary71 I hope you’re feeling better 💐

Well I am here and struggling the last few days. I had some traumatic family news and it I really struggled to get up. I did and kept going and thankful I did. A couple handfuls of whoppers candy (a gift from a friends travels bcuz we don’t have them locally) and I was back on track. I did resist the breads and urge to eat until I felt better.
I hope everyone has a great and productive weekend.3
