    A few weeks ago, another challenge I am in had a quest to travel 2 miles in 2 different ways. I pondered on what to do and asked my hubby to get out our bikes from storage. I didn't get to use it to fulfill the challenge as the tires were flat and the chain rusty. Hubby fixed that (yes he's a keeper), and it was ready to go. I haven't been on a bicycle in probably 20 years, but today took it out (just after sunrise so noone would see me) for a 2 mile ride on the linear trail behind my house. The chain may not be rusty, but I sure am.

    @Buckeyebabe7l7 Monty is a goldendoodle too. They could almost be twins (the Golden Doodles that are not so "Golden"), except Monty has a tuxedo on. Funny your youngest is "Woody". That was the name of one of our past dogs; Woody the dalmatian. He was a mean old coot, I'm guessing that your labradoodle is nothing like that and as sweet as can be.

    When I first got Brutus and would walk him in the neighborhood people would stop me and want to know what kind of dog he was and when I told them goldendoodle you would not believe how many people did not believe me....lol They didn't realize a "golden"doodle could be black! Woody is a sweet heart and so full of energy.

    I made this post for another challenge, but I'm so proud of myself for finally making the salads, that I'm sharing it here too 🤩😃 ...

    Dry ingredients prepped - 12 containers ready 👏 -

    bfh8kzs05br0.jpg

    Dry add-ins have:
    Craisins
    Dried blueberries
    Black currants
    Chopped cashews
    Raw pumpkin seeds
    Sesame sticks
    Flax seeds
    Edamame
    Dried pineapple
    Dried dates
    Dried apricots
    (We left out the dried figs - or, I should say, hubby helped me understand that was tooooo much! 🤪)


    Wet ingredients added on top (separated by Saran wrap) - forgot to add the cherry tomatoes! -

    sxa8fa4t0gi9.jpg

    Wet add-ins have:
    Hard boiled egg (only in 10 of them)
    Cottage cheese (in all 12)
    Ricotta cheese (in all 12)
    Avocado (only in 8 of them)


    Four sacks of greens with carrot shavings prepped and ready! -

    krxokd5a1w4t.jpg

    Greens have:
    Red cabbage
    Green cabbage
    Romaine lettuce
    Green Leaf lettuce
    Kale
    Cilantro
    Carrot shavings
    Cherry tomatoes (cherry tomatoes are not in the greens sacks, they're separate 🍅)

    Hubby's salad - you can't see depth, but this is a small pasta serving bowl, not an entree sized plate 😳 (hubby loves salad). He has all his stuff mixed into the center, with more greens added on top. -

    My salad - I do NOT love said, lol. This is a regular sized plate 🤪 -

    This is Super Nova Butter Baby….AKA Nova.
    My daughter loving calls her Menace, because she is into everything. If it’s within her reach, she thinks it’s hers.

    Aww she's beautiful 😍

    Hello! I am Amanda, I am back in for the month of May! This is an inspiring group!
    My goal for May is to get moving! I am such a procrastinator when it comes to this and I set it as a goal every month and NEVER do it. The weather should cooperate now.

    May goals:
    💥Walk 3x/week
    💥Lose 4 or 5 pounds

    OSW: 250
    OGW: 150
    5/1/23: 199.7
    5/31/23 goal: 195

    5/1: 199.7
    5/2: 199.7
    5/3: 199.7 🤨
    5/4: 199.7
    5/5: 199.0
    5/6: 199.0
    5/7: 198.7 *walked*

    5/8: 197.8 (!)
    It’s a new week. I’m going to try really hard to go for a walk or at least get my steps in 3 days this week. I’ve been feeling really tired so it’s a delicate balance.

    5/9: 197.8
    I am feeling much more lively and promised myself I would only work 10 hours yesterday and go for a walk after. That did not happen. I ended up working 13 hours and it was raining and dark by the time I got done. Mondays are always crazy at work but I need to work on firmer boundaries. Set my work status to “No.” 🤨

    5/10: 197.8 *walked*
    Well that work boundary thing didn’t work out great yesterday but I won’t bore you with details.
    I did great with calories and steps (for me) yesterday and the weather is supposed to be nice today too, so hopefully a repeat.

    Ladies you are making me so happy with your pictures of your doggies! Makes my vet tech heart happy! There’s been some overweight dogs that come in to work and we do the same plan that MyFitnessPal does, CICO and more movement. You wouldn’t believe some of the far fetched stories owners come up with as to why their pet is eating more than they should. Or they blame it on their SO who isn’t there. Lol

    Such handsome boys! We’re thinking about getting another… Nova needs a buddy.
