@trooworld - Hurray for not snacking yesterday! And hurray for today's "track all three meals" goal!
Your day of art sounds great.
Thank you for sharing pictures of your art! It's all fun and so varied! I was especially fond of your etched glass vase, and the paper turkey (made from a book?).
@JenAWhite - Your goals for today sound great! Here's to building that momentum!
@sleepygirl79 - It sounds like you did some good damage control with all those social events.
@Megnolia82 - Good for you for persisting through the wild fluctuations.
@Katmary71 - "Sometimes things get so messy it causes too much anxiety to start." -- I so get this. I am doing office cleaning and working on financial records, and I get that anxiety hot for both.
I hope the pain clinic goes well today, and that if you get the nurse you butt heads with, you get through and on your way quickly!
@JenAWhite - I love your No Zeroes report! I did not think to report, when I said my steps in, that I was seeing spring flowers, but I am. Bluebonnets are here! They only last a couple of weeks, and everyone is very excited to see them.
@txcritter69, @rodgerd27, @19shmoo69, @gemwolf110 - Congratulations on great weigh-ins!
@sleepygirl79 - That does sound like a water retention thing? Crossing my fingers for you.
@Ftofit, @tammymccrady6278 and @Fushiakat - Congratulations on being on the leaderboard! Woohoo! 🎉
@amanda32390 - Great plan! It sounds like preparing yourself to win at dinner could make a huge difference.
@micaroo4 - I am so sorry you are sick, but very glad to hear Rich is doing better.3 -
🎉CONGRATULATIONS to everyone that lost weight!🎊
@Cornanda house painting is going great. Got from the entryway all the way into the kitchen. Ran out of paint so today will be finishing up that project.
@trooworld Thank you! I am loving all the different types of of crafting. My hubby bought me my own drill for my birthday in '21 then my nail gun for Christmas last yr. I have been learning how to use a table saw to miter saw.
Your indoor garden is awesome. I will get to that point once remodeling our home is done. To much going on for trying to keep up with to many areas.
Your crafts are so awesome. I love the pug shirt and hello spring wreath.
@Katmary71 it would be grate to have a club like that around here. I am winging it here learning how to do everything off of YouTube videos. Will I hope my basil makes it outside cuz that's where I put it for now.
@micaroo4 Thank you! I am sorry to here that it is your turn. That sounds like what happen with hubby and I during Thanksgiving. I got sick first ran a fever for 3 days then just felt crappy for about a week after. Hubby came in with it a week after me. I did a home test and it came back positive for covid.
@amanda32390 I am glas you made it through your week. Definitely agree on the grocery haul. I am putting a list together myself.
@Sleepygirl79 🤞that it was a fluke week. It sounds like water weight to me. That is a lot in one week. Best wishes on doing better this week with food choices.
Thank you! I would love to see some of your crafts.
@JenAWhite Great job on the No Zeroes. Stick to it, you can. I have been making it a habbit of checking it at night to make sure I post everything it MFP.
@megnolia82 so glad to hear that yoh are off antibiotics. I hope you are feeling much better.
@AustinRuadhain WTG,! For being all green and your weight loss this week. Keep pushing for that evening walk. It's great for both of you!
So, it has been a very busy week. I have not moved as much in the last 7 days all yr long. 😂🤣😂 My poor aching body. But, for today I have a dentist appt for cleaning then back to the house finish up pallet garden on getting is set up for seedlings. I am taking a stab at cucumbers, green beans and peppers.

@shaunarlr83 – It really is fun when you get to do your own decorating. I had done earth tones years ago, but now ready for a change. I’ve always loved beachy themes (since I live so close to Lake Michigan), so I’m going with pale blues, soft blue-greens, white. Just need more money! Hahahaha!
@DrewsAnna – So sorry about the binge. Our stomachs are quick to point out our misgivings!
@Katmary71 – No worries if you can’t find any seeds to trade
And crazy as it sounds, cilantro used to taste like dish soap to me all the way until I went vegan. My tastebuds changed and now it is so yummy! P.S. I’m a Mr Ballen fan, too!
@trooworld – So much crafty fun! Don’t forget about stickers, tho! I love the ones you made me! I put them on my ink carousel so I see them every time I’m crafting Your herbs are beautiful!!!
@txcritter69 – Beautiful woodworking and that Easter spray is breathtaking! Love the pale blues and pinks!
@Cornanda – Thank you for the sweet note and postage! Unexpected and appreciated...I felt that sunshine!
@micaroo4 – Oh you poor thing. You almost made it through without catching it from him. Hope you are able to get over it quickly.
@amanda32390 – I love that you call it “opportunity”. What a wonderful way to speak to yourself. I can definitely learn from you!
@AustinRuadhain – Nice Green Dots! Fingers crossed you’re able to get hubby motivated again for the walking dates.
Well the baby shower for my DIL was fantastic on Saturday, minus the meltdown Hunter had afterwards. It was so bad. After I finished with everything and dropping my mother off, I so badly wanted to get an Impossible Whopper. I even got into the lane that I needed to be to go there. But then I saw the Subway sign and decided to get my veggie sub and added my homemade vegan mayo. I was really proud of myself for opting for all the veggies. Definitely a No Zero Win! I thanked my current self on Saturday and my future self is so appreciative now. Would’ve like to have seen a loss on the scale, but I’m happy to just remain steady.
I think this evening I will make a batch of spinach mushroom risotto in the Instant Pot for lunches this week. Feeling like I might want soy curl fajitas for a few dinners, so going to make that (I use peppers, onions and soy curls with my Olive Cart Fajita Oil). That way my fresh limes and avocados can get used before going bad. Anyone have any yummy meals planned this week? Share them!
I’m planning on having a good Monday…on my lunch break right now, but then back to work. Sipping on my water infused with True Blueberry and Lemon Zinger. I’m sharing this idea for the newbies in the group…for those that struggle with drinking plain water, I hope this helps. Fill a 32oz bottle with water and put in one Lemon Zinger tea bag along with another fruit flavor tea bag (this time happens to be True Blueberry, but I also really love it with Raspberry). And if you don't want lemon flavor, you can pick whatever combo you want. As long as you have 2 tea bags for every 32oz, it will turn out delicious. Stick it in the fridge overnight. So yummy! Here’s a picture of the tea I’m talking about. I feel like it's stronger than regular herbal fruit tea, so that's why I recommend using the Zingers. (Note - they do all contain hibiscus, so if that's not your thing, just find some fruity teas that make you happy!)

Took a second covid test. This time tested positive. I'm out of work for the rest of the week. So far feels like a bad cold with a headache. Rich probably had covid all last week. Those tests aren't 100% accurate.
@vegan4lyfe2012 - I love True Blueberry! I never thought about using it in cold water. I'm going to give it a try.
-Mica3 -
@micaroo4 - Oh no! That super sucks. Hugs and prayers. Sip on some True Blueberry...hopefully that will help.1
-
@micaroo4 I'm sorry your sick. Believe it or not I agree with @vegan4lyfe2012 about drinking tea. I would suggest peppermint instead of fruit. I would also amp up the vitamins and take zinc with quercetin. I could go on but I'm not a medical person.3

⚖️WEIGH IN⚖️
Weigh day Monday
Previous weight - 173.2
Current weight - 170.8
Really thought I would make it back into the 160’s this week but I’m still happy with my progress. Food choices were not great or else I would have definitely been there!6 -
@micaroo4 feel better soon. My mom had the same thing you had just over a month ago. Get lots of rest and listen to your body.
Today was an ok day. Did Zumba but need to get it out of my head that just because I burned a bunch of calories, doesn’t mean I need to eat more. Tried to stick to lots of fruit today. Need to do better meal prep for sure.3 -
Thank you everyone for the well-wishes.
Getting lots of rest. Contemplating all the days that I have NOT been sick, and took for granted. I looked in my medicine cabinet and found sudafed that expired in 2016. I must have purchased it the last time I had a cold - and since the expiry dates are usually a couple of years out, it was probably 2014 (or earlier!) the last time I was sick. I am having a hot lemony herbal tea - it's a Yogi tea called Everyday Immune. It's got vitamin C. The main thing is get plenty of fluids.
@vegan4lyfe2012 - tried the ice cold True Blueberry - it's delicious!
@19shmoo69 - can't tolerate peppermint, not in tea, not in candy, not even in toothpaste. I'm getting a lot of zinc in my Areds formula already, but my BF has some quercetin around here somewhere so I'll help myself to that. Thanks for the suggestion.

@AustinRuadhain Congrats on the loss and the excellent job on your no zeros! A daily walking date sounds relaxing and fun! Thank you for the "hurrays"! I wish I could say I did track but alas, I did not. Today will be better! Oh that was just my crafts, my art is much different than my crafts. I will attach a pic of some of it. It's not for everyone, but I enjoy doing it for ME!
@txcritter69 That's so cool about learning how to use the table saw and miter saw. I love the different types of crafting, too. Thank you about my indoor garden, I really do not have a green thumb but the opposite. It's just really easy to grow things in the indoor garden! Thank you about my crafts. You are doing great with all that movement. How cool is that to grow cucumbers, beans and peppers? Good luck!
@askewcr @shaunarlr83 Congrats on the losses!
@vegan4lyfe2012 Oh yeah, I had fun making the stickers (although I don't know if I will make more, I have so many other projects lol). I'm glad you are enjoying the stickers I made you. Thanks about my herbs! That's awesome that you resisted the Impossible Whopper, way to go! That's definitely a No Zero Win! We are making no-fry Neapolitan eggplant parmesan tonight, which should be good. Tomorrow is "easy chicken enchiladas". I hope your risotto comes out well. I love your tea-flavored water, it's so refreshing.
@micaroo4 No, those tests are not accurate all the time, I've seen too many people test negative and then later test positive. I hope you feel better soon.
Hi all. I had a better day yesterday. I feel a glimmer of hope that I am on the right track again. Finally. I wanted to share a few images of my artwork. I do a variety of styles. I hope you like it.
MY NO-ZERO DAY WIN FROM YESTERDAY: Drank a much better amount of water (67 oz), ate healthy snacks.

Rich was having a lot of trouble breathing, so he went to the clinic. They called an ambulance to bring him to the hospital. He's in afib. And he's testing positive for covid today. I'm going out of my mind with worry. Wish I could have gone with him .

I'm so happy to see that I stayed the same. I've been eating lots more, and extra nuts too. I'm still doing yard work most days. I put a bunch of fairy lights in the Cactus Garden, they were not expensive, but they make me smile and they stay on all night. I think we might have homeowners' insurance, crossing my fingers. They came and took pictures yesterday of the front of the house.
I had a good visit at the doctor's office this morning. I had to stop and buy more gardening gloves, I cut my finger last week clean thru the glove. Not bad, but I need new gloves now. It's time to weed the cactus garden again, but I'm almost done raking in the small area across from the creek, it's a pie shaped piece of property with oleanders planted along a chain link fence, on two sides, there is a dwarf peach, pomegranate tree and guava tree.
I think I'm ready to move to maintenance, with a range of 135 - 140 that way my weight won't be counted as part of the team's weight.

For @txcritter69 and anyone else interested, Next Level Gardening on YouTube has a lot of good information on gardening topics if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/@NextLevelGardening
@micaroo4 I'm so sorry to hear about Rich's breathing, sending you both prayers!
@vegan4lyfe2012 I've tried all those teas but the watermelon lime Zinger, I'll have to look for that one! What is True Blueberry? Sounds good but I've never heard of it. Raspberry Zinger is a staple for me, I throw 6 bags, a cinnamon stick, and a chunk of ginger in the Instant Pot for 5 minutes then let it sit for hours to get real strong and drink that instead of water. I forgot about the Sangria one too, that one is yummy!
Sorry for not catching up with everyone, those who are feed friends with me already know but my car decided to go nuts yesterday, it wouldn't start before my pain clinic appointment so my Dad rushed over to take me and when we got back he asked me to start it to see if it was worth bringing his charger over. It sounded like it was starting then something was making a loud noise over the engine so I took the key out and the engine kept running on it's own (all I could think of was Stephen King's Christine) and spewing smoke and it was in the garage, I had to call the fire department. The smoke and noise was getting worse and worse and you could see flames, I honestly thought it was going to explode. There's oil and burnt pieces of wire so I'm not sure what happened, the fire department basically said a fire started and the oil in the smoke was sucked in the engine powering it for like 10 minutes. I had it towed to a shop this afternoon and they'll get to it in the next couple days.
I didn't do the cleaning challenge yesterday and didn't follow it exactly today but did at least clean the counters, stovetop, microwave, and fridge. My table has seed starting stuff all over it and I'm getting a couple more indoor lights (recommended by the link I provided) so I didn't want to clean it until I'm done. I did work out today and yesterday though last night if it was white and tasted good with butter it went in my mouth along with the last two shots of my boyfriend's peanut butter whiskey I got him for Christmas. He's been struggling a lot with his health and I can't get there to help him so it's been hard. Meanwhile the neighbors are sending emails wondering why the gate is stuck open which the firemen didn't close so I have to figure out how to get it closed.
No Zero Days
- chair cardio, abs and lower body, stretching, cleaning
- ate under calories and healthy (just one piece of bread today)
- good water3 -
Started responding the other day to everyone individually and before I finished I got super busy. Saturday I took off with my kids and brother, we first hiked 6 miles around a lake and then watched dirt track racing! In my previous life I dated a race at driver so my ex husband wouldn’t ever let me go to the races. It was so great to go back after after 14 years! Sunday my daughter and I took my two 5 year old nieces on a hike after church, I didn’t realize it was a 4 mile trail, they were absolute troopers, we hiked every single mile faster than us 4 adults did the day before, including the last two miles that we were rushing through bc we were almost late for the races, even including that final mile that my son and I ran the last .5 of! 🤣 Sunday night I worked 12 hours and was given Monday night off because I had to be here at 7:45 yesterday for orientation and can’t leave until 7 am today. My trainer has asked me to fill in for half a shift tomorrow and I’ll definitely do it since I didn’t work Monday.4

@micaroo4 I'm so sorry, I am sending good thoughts to you and Rich. How are you feeling? Are you still feeling like a bad cold?
@FushiaKat I'm glad it sounds like you have the homeowner's insurance sorted out. Cute lights!
@Katmary71 I'm so sorry about your car, that's crazy. I hope the shop can fix it and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. What happened with the pain clinic? I know you said that would set you back if you couldn't make it, did they make an exception? I hope! It sounds like you are really struggling, I hope things get better soon for you. Big HUGS!
@shaunarlr83 I'm glad you got to go back to the races and way to go with the hike! Sounds like you are doing great.
Hi all. Not much to report. Spring is right around the corner which I am glad for. For me, spring brings more outdoor activities and fun.

Good morning. I'm no better, no worse. Rich was admitted to the hospital last night, so he's finally in a regular room and we can communicate. I think Rich will be discharged today. They gave him a beta blocker which fixed the a-fib. They did a cat scan and he has a small blood clot in one of his lungs. He will be on blood thinner for 6 months. They gave him prednisone last night and his breathing is normal this morning. Of course that may change once he starts moving around. They are going to do an echo cardiogram today before he can be discharged.

@micaroo4 - Mica, I am thinking about you and Rich this morning. How are you feeling -- on the mend? Wishing improved health for you both.
"Contemplating all the days that I have NOT been sick, and took for granted." - It is so easy to take health for granted.
@trooworld - Every time I read this in one of your posts, I am inspired: "Every choice is another chance to change my health for the better."
Hurray for you No Zero Day! Eating on plan is a great win!
I like your art as well as your crafts. I have a friend who wrote a book about enjoying modern art. It takes a different mindset, maybe? Anyway, I like it, too.
@shaunarlr83 - Your hike and your trip to the races both sound grand! Congrats in the great weigh-in!
@Katmary71 - I will check out Next Level Gardening, though I think remedial gardening is where I should likely start! ;-) (I have a *lot* of work to do in the yard this spring.)
Your car saga sounds horrific. Stephen King territory for sure.
Hurray for your No Zero Days after all that.
@FushiaKat - Hurray for being ready for maintenance mode! Your cactus garden lights look so pretty!
@sleepygirl79 - "need to get it out of my head that just because I burned a bunch of calories, doesn’t mean I need to eat more" Yes, that can be killer! It's easy to overcompensate. Fruit sounds like a great choice -- fiber, vitamins, antioxidants, and fewer calories than many other options.
@vegan4lyfe2012 - Great job holding steady on your weigh-in, especially with all that was going on! Your meal plan sounds delicious! I, too, loveloveLOVE the Celestial Seasonings fruit teas!0 -
I lost my sense of smell completely. I still had a little this morning, but it's completely gone now. 😢5
-
@Katmary71 – I detest all things melon, so I definitely won’t be trying it for you! True Blueberry is another Celestial Seasonings tea, just not a Zinger. I might have to copy you on that IP zinger concoction! "Dude, your car!" (there's a story behind that quote...lemme know if you want to hear it). I had a Dodge Shadow back in the day. It caught on fire like that, too. So scary!
Quick check in to say I went grocery shopping yesterday and stayed in the produce aisle...all except for a container of hummus and guacamole (which were very close to the produce, actually). This is a big deal for someone like me...trying to back away from the processed faux meats and cheeses. Instead I'm going to use more of my TVP (soy protein). I was watching a YouTube guy yesterday that uses Marmite or Vegemite when reydrating it because they have a great deal of umami. He also talked about Dulse. So I hopped onto Amazon and will be getting all 3 on Saturday. Anyone from England or Australia here that can give me any tips?
Oh - and I have foods that would be part of my snackle box...but don't have an actual container that everything would go into, so gotta figure that out. But I've happily been snacking on grape tomatoes, red grapes, raw carrots and broccoli, and hummus. So far so good

@shaunarlr83 You've been super busy, love the workouts with the family! Two five year olds going 4 miles and being troopers is amazing, I'd think they'd be grouchy toward the end.
@trooworld I got to the pain clinic on time which is really surprising with how slow my dad drives, it was basically med refills and we talked about what happens after the MRIs I have next week (psych eval then I see a neurosurgeon). Thanks for the hugs! I'm so glad spring is almost here, I'm trying not to be as bad as last year posting how many days left until spring every other day but it's rained so much this winter that I'm really anxious for it. CA definitely has bad it's share of rain this season but the news is still talking of watering restrictions going into effect.
@micaroo4 Wow Mica, sounds like Rich being admitted was a good thing since they were able to get to the bottom of everything and help out. I hope he's home with you soon and his breathing continues to improve. How are you feeling? I hope your sense of smell is back soon.
@AustinRuadhain Hey I'm sure the gardening link will cover topics you'd be interested in although I didn't see any on things like boosting soil health aside of for specific plants but I tried spraying my tomatoes last year with aspirin to boost their immune systems because o him, that was an interesting idea and of course I didn't to it consistently to know if it helped.
@FushiaKat I love those lights, how pretty!
@Vegan4lyfe2012 Oh yum I didn't realize True Blueberry was a tea, I'll go start a Walmart order with that on it (guess I need a car to do pickup though right?!). I was thinking it was like that lemon flavoring you could put in things like it was a little squeeze bottle of flavor or something. Sure tell me the Dude your car because I felt that! I'm sorry to hear your car did that once too, it's traumatic, I'm still shocked about it. Way to go on the produce trip! I was interested in your post on your feed about TVP, it was on clearance in a bulk bin at Raley's and I bought a bunch when I was eating more vegetarian-type meals but don't know what to do with it now and am curious how you'll be using it.
Hi everyone, hope your week is going well! I got up and was super tired so I went back to sleep for a bit then did my workout and made lunch. Still waiting to hear about my car. I did a little cleaning for the challenge but am not feeling too hot so I cut it short which with rain for the next two weeks I'll probably have to do a lot, I wish there was some way to help that aside of baths and staying in bed but there's not that I've found. Tomorrow's work and I'm trying to find someone to take me to pick up my prescriptions. Have a great Thursday!
No Zero Days
chair cardio, abs and upper body, stretching
ate well and under calories

@micaroo4 I'm glad Rich will be discharged today. That sucks you lost your sense of smell. I hope it comes back quickly. Continued good thoughts for you both.
@AustinRuadhain Aww thank you! I am inspired by that phrase, too. Yes, modern art is not appreciated, or liked, by all. I do agree that it takes a different mindset to enjoy! Thank you! I appreciate it. How are you doing?
@vegan4lyfe2012 Great job staying in the produce section! No tips for the Marmite or Vegemite, good luck with those, never had them. Great job with your no zeros!
@Katmary71 I'm so glad you made it to the pain clinic on time. Yeah, I usually enjoy the winter but it's just been cold for too long and I'm ready to sit out on the walkway with a book and a drink and enjoy the weather. I'm so sorry you aren't feeling well.
Hi all. Not much to report. Not doing so hot. I hope you are doing better than me.
MY NO-ZERO DAY WIN FROM YESTERDAY: Drank a half-decent amount of water (50 oz), ate healthy snacks, had broccoli with dinner, and ate what I planned for dinner.
My phrase for the year: "Every choice is another chance to change my health for the better."1 -
@Katmary71 – So I was a bit of a hellion back in my high school days. One Friday night I was at a party out in a subdivision that had large lots. We were all outside on the deck having fun. I was drinking, but not plastered. It was my curfew, so I went home but decided I wanted to go back. I snuck out my bedroom window, put my mom’s car in neutral and pushed it out to the end of the driveway…hopped in and away I went back to the party. The only spot I could find to park was across the road opposite the driveway. About an hour later, someone left the party but didn’t maneuver out of the driveway correctly. Everyone heard the crunch and my best guy friend, Adam (who looked like Slash…gorgeous hair) was so stoned and yelled, “Dude! Your car!” Yup. He was talking to me. Back passenger door completely dented in. No. I did not tell my mom the truth. She thought I had gone to play pool earlier, so I just told her someone at the pool hall backed into me while I was inside and I had no idea who did it. I would say I learned my lesson about sneaking out after that, but I didn’t. That happened when I came home one night to see the foot step under my bedroom window gone, my window shut and locked, and my dad sitting in the living room at 3am waiting for me 1
-
@Katmary71 - Sorry...had to do some actual work. Job always getting in the way of my social life! Back to the TVP... I use crumbles anywhere that I used to use ground beef. I have no problem working with that size. When I rehydrate, I use vegan beef bullion along with McCormick's Grillmates seasoning. Then I might mix it with Manwich to make Sloppy Jose's. Or I'll add taco seasoning. Or I'll add it to a tomato sauce for pasta or veggies. I'm good with soy curls, too, using vegan chix bullion and soul seasoning. Mainly use those for either chix salad or fajitas (fajita seasoning and fajita oil). Are those the types of ideas you were looking for? Or am I way off the mark? Oh - and rehydration ratio is 1:1 (Boil water and seasonings, turn off heat, add tvp, cover for 10 minutes. Ready to use!)
So to everyone, my problem are the large chunks of TVP. Trying to get those to mimic, say, steak. For things like a beefy stir fry or "steak" sandwich. Those types of recipes. I'm going to do some experimenting with the vegemite and marmite. I was hoping for notes from the peanut gallery, but y'all are letting me down! Hahaha
Anyway, I'm still doing good with the food choices. I haven't even glanced at the vending machine in days
We'll see how it goes tomorrow night when Hunter and I go watch Scream 6. I'm debating on sneaking in hummus and carrots! Hahaha! Anyone else planning on watching it opening weekend? After that, 65 is on my list. Who doesn't love Adam Driver, amiright? Toodles!

If I could vent a bit. I've never been an athlete. I don't know how to build confidence, discipline or motivation. I scour the internet and YouTube looking for useful help. I'm tired of being fat. I'm tired of being tired. Through the years I've looked into trainers and I cannot fathom how people can afford them.
I'll stop complaining.
6 -
@19shmoo69 You've been in this group for a long time, that's discipline right there so you've had it and tricked yourself! I'm serious if you'd really quit you wouldn't still be here. This comes from a long time of me being a people pleaser and being insecure but you're an amazing person who deserves to be happy, think of the things that would make your life better and start working toward those, you don't have to do it perfectly just work toward it. I think that's where some of the confidence came from for me was accepting I'd never look how I want or be 100% healthy but I wanted to make the time I have left better and actually put some effort into not dying for a change. At least for me I "do" get more energy working out but it took awhile to get that far of consistent workouts and pushing through the exhaustion. I said a lot more but deleted it as it's not coming out right, I'm glad you're still here and trying, it inspires me when I see you posting again after it's been awhile that you find your way back.
@vegan4lyfe2012 I'm glad you told me the story, I was wondering what happened to your car! I had one of those too, we were partying down the street with the neighborhood bully and one of his friends backed his van into my poor Honda, he tried to get away and was peeling my car with him so I was in the street screaming to make him stop. Good thing we didn't go to school together, we may not have survived! You understood what I was wondering about TVP, thanks!
@trooworld I saw it's raining for you too, you'd think we'd be out of the drought after this winter but they're talking weather restrictions already for spring. I'm reading a large print book my Mom's friend lent her and I have to say it's pretty awesome to see what it says without issues but I'm turning the page constantly, it's a big book because the print's real big (Dolly Parton James Patterson) Run Rose Run. Like all of Patterson's it's a fast and easy read though. Yes reading in a recliner in the yard sounds wonderful! We'll pretend no allergies right?!
Hi team I'm just saying hi real fast, we have a bad storm going through and I broke a micro current attachment that would calm my nervous system a bit so I'm kind of a hot mess. Bill's in the hospital with pancreatitis and they're going to run some other tests, it's sad as he kept going to the ER and getting sent home and he's been in horrible pain. Hope you all have a great Friday!

Hi everyone!
I did a brief scroll trying to catch up a bit.
Congratulations to everyone who has had a loss this past week and to all of those hanging in there.
Ive been MIA due to traveling. Ive been busy with the new home here, catching up with friends and keeping up with the stridekick challenge. Thanks @JenAWhite!!! It’s the best ever to keep me going.
My calories have been ok but my food choices, well hmmm 🤔 my lovely neighbors and friends have sent so many pastries, cakes, cookies and invites to meals, that it’s been a challenge to stay within calories. It’s been small amounts, sometimes bites of things just to try and then say yum.
Im leaving tomorrow, so I will be back on track Sunday or Monday. I’ll be able to do a proper catch up.
Cheering everyone on though!4
