Hey y'all,
I've been spending a lot of time outside working in one of my gardens. I have been so wore out in the evenings. That's why I haven't been very active on here. I'm just going to sleep.
I expected more of a loss because I have been eating really good until Wednesday night when I was just to tired to cook. My husband pointed out that I was toning, I need to add some cardio to my garden workout.
The weeds were about a foot high and there's a lot of river bed type rocks. I tried to post pictures but it just won't let me.
Today, we are back to rain and cooler temperatures.

@txcritter69 Cool car!
@19shmoo69 Oh that must be so scary. I am so sorry she's not better. Do they know what is causing that? I hope they can get a handle on it soon.
@tfelts147 Congrats on the loss! I love your convertible. Great color.
@19shmoo69 You might be interested, I got an espresso machine. I'm so excited to be able to make fancy coffee drinks at home now!
@txcritter69 Your garden looks great. I love Nightmare Before Christmas! We are hoping to get to Disneyland in September for Halloween. They have a lot of Jack Skeleton there. Have a great day!
@leonadixon Welcome back! I hope your knees are much better now.
@Katmary71 Oh good, I hope that helps. Thank you! I'm glad you delegated the secretary's duties so you can care for yourself. Hugs. Your garden stuff is impressive.
@shaunarlr83 We go out every year just to walk around and people watch and we go have a drink at a couple of the bars. It's so fun! You should totally go out one of these years! That would be fun to be a haunted trail guide. Great job with the sleep and the run. And way to stay away from energy drinks! I have a hybrid, not full electric, a Prius. I love it but I would never get a full-electric because of the charging is a pain and no it doesn't sound like it makes sense for your daughter. Good luck getting her out of it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
@AmbersWay I'm glad you are feeling a bit better. Good thoughts for your continued recovery. CONGRATS ON 20 LBS DOWN AND ONEDERLAND! Woo hoo!
@Bemybestby60 Your car is so cute (and so are you!)!
TGIF, am I right? And HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!!! Woo hoo! Party over here: we are having Mexican street tacos and Micheladas (Mexican beer and lime cocktails) for dinner tonight. Probably a salad with the tacos. Today's picture is my new espresso machine. It wasn't as expensive as it looks haha. I love it already and it will save us lots of $$$ (each time we go out for coffee, it costs us $18!). Enjoy your Friday!
MY NO-ZERO DAY WIN FROM YESTERDAY: Drank the minimum amount of water (50 oz), ate healthy meals.
My phrase for the year: "Every choice is another chance to change my health for the better."
Welp, I'm officially jealous.
A drink you could try, it's a play in a conpana. Equal shots of espresso and steamed milk. I usually drink my coffee black but this is amazing.2 -
So many car posts invoked me to post my favorite car. It's a Cafe Robusto. Under factory warranty it gets 11,000 steps per cup full.5 -
@shaunarlr83 Thanks! Great job on the run! Happy birthday, hope you’re able to get your daughter out of it and can celebrate in a fun way.
@AmbersWay So glad you’re starting to feel better! Welcome to Onederland!
@Cornanda Have fun with the company!
@Bemybestby60 Oh no hope you’re able to get things together with your computer. My laptop was only supposed to be in the shop for a couple days and there’s still no end in sight. Love the photo!
@DJill68 I think that’s my favorite “weight loss” meme, amazing how much you do that on the inside too where people can’t see.
@trooworld Hope your Cinco de Mayo celebration comes out great, wish I could come crash your party! I can’t wait to hear how it goes with the machine, I know you love going out for coffee. I’m trying to be better about that too as another coffee lover.
@davidji82 Nice weather would be wonderful, it’s like the world is confused right now with this weather.
@DrewsAnna Sounds like a serious workout in the yard, you’ll have to show us when you’re done. If you say what you’re posting on we may be able to help you. I know in groups you can’t post pics with an Android phone, I send them to my email then do it when I come on my laptop or desktop. I wish they’d fix that!
@19shmoo69 Too funny!
Hi team, doing a little better tonight. As far as what I did just stretching and a little arm cardio, still taking it easy. I’m going to go and try to help out for a little tomorrow at the VFW but skip all the breakfast and rally-type stuff, I don’t need to be eating pancakes right now anyway so I’ll just help get the packages together and bring all the donations I picked up and added to the mix. Still rainy so my garden’s surviving without much help thank goodness.
No Zero Days
- Stretched and did a little arm cardio very gently
- Great water
- Food is a little over but did better at not overeating just because I’m hurting.
Photo is my boyfriend and I at Christmas, I found someone as dorky at me at taking pics.

My husband sent this video and a 🆘 for my son to come help him get this kitty out of the middle of the highway. Rescue underway! Now where to put lil kitty, I don’t know because my dogs are not kitty friendly. I hope the neighborhood mommy cat my son takes car of on his way out daily will take it in.
My husband looks intimidating, but is a biggest softy when it comes to saving all the animals. I’m a supporter except when he brings me pigeons and expects me to bring them back to life.

Rich got some bad news from his doctor yesterday. His A1C was 7.3, so he has to start on Metformin. He can drop the beta-blocker for the A-fib, but he has to stay on the Eliquis for at least one more month; then they will check to see if the clots have dissolved. He renewed the Eliquis and picked up the Metformin yesterday at the Walmart pharmacy. They screwed up and neglected to give him the papers on the Metformin. They only gave him the papers on the Eliquis, which we really didn't need to have again since it was a renewal. He says he will stop by the pharmacy today and ask for the papers. The doctor also didn't give him any instructions about diet, other than to keep talking about carbs in a very non-specific way. And she didn't ask him to do any blood testing. He doesn't want to do any testing right now anyway, since finger sticks while he is on blood thinners seems like a bad idea! My advice to him was to just stop eating Pizza and Ice Cream, reduce his Portion Size especially when he goes out to eat, and stop snacking directly from the bag/box/can (measure a serving size) and see how his A1C looks on the next test. OH... and he's also come down with a cold. At least I hope it's a cold and not covid again, because another covid episode will probably kill him.4

@shaunarlr1983 - Happy Birthday!
@19shmoo69 - Keep the coffee jokes coming, I want to see how many you got.
@Katmary71 - hope you are feeling better soon.
@micaroo4 - That's too bad about Rich. I think you gave him good diet advice. I think that doctors are generally terrible at stuff like that.
I'm real late to the party this month. I've kept up with all your posts and have been thinking of you all.
Our company left Wed, I'm getting caught up on what I put off while I was getting ready for them. We had a great time, toured a sink hole, ate at a dive cafe- BIL ordered the red neck burger, saw the Van Gogh immersive thing, hung out on the patio, did puzzles and games. It was very relaxing! Ate too much- time to get back at it.
I'm Lisa, married for a very long time to my dear Hubs, Son is 23, lives here. Daughter is 21, is about to live here again. Dog is a puppy- Gus. All of them can be very sweet or very naughty depending on the day. Weight has been mostly up and sometimes down for my whole adult life. Been in this group a few years and it's been so helpful to me. I live in Florida. I like to walk and do step aerobics for exercise.
Well that was nice and jumbly! Will look for some pix over the weekend. That was a very fun idea @Katmary71 and @trooworld!

My name is Paula Jones and I am going with the flow this month instead of stressing so much about this weight loss journey! It has gone so far as to cause a tiny bit of issues with my husband who doesn’t understand why I want to lose weight even though I repeatedly tell him. 😏 I am married with 3 amazing kids! I’ve been with my husband since September of 2000.
I used to be EXTREMELY fit since my time spent serving our country in the US Army. I am now an obese 100% service disabled veteran experiencing a variety of health related issues primarily resulting from my weight and I have finally reached a point where I can’t take it anymore so I am taking a firm stand. I WILL lose and am losing this weight since I started going at my goals hard Feb 9. I have seen favorable results so far with my current strategy which is a combination of Noom, GOLO, and Intermittent Fasting (IF) with revolutionary changes being made to how I eat, what I eat, and why I eat. I weigh myself every day and tape various locations of my body once a week to help hold myself accountable and establish a way to thoroughly measure my progress.
I have already started including physical exercise and that could be some type of cardio and strength training exercises at home or me and my oldest son going to the gym for some cardio or circuit training taking advantage of the equipment.2 -

Happy Saturday Team!
Love all the gardening pics! Something about growing my own food, fulfills me and I love to see what others are growing. It’s definitely a labor of love! So far we have planted: tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, green beans, cabbage, lettuce, garlic chives, herbs, jalapeños, and potatoes. The cold weather stuck around so long, we are a little late to the planting game. My blueberry bushes aren’t doing well this year.
@19shmoo69 - Your wife has been in my prayers. Hope she is doing better.
Oh, I am getting ready to go join a gym. I am so nervous! I am so out of shape and have several physical challenges like possible torn rotator cuff and a torn labrum in my hip. I’ve had hip and back surgery too. Getting old and fat sucks! Wish me luck.

@PaulyJoMomma - Paula, first let me say: Thank You for your Service to our country! WHATEVER support you need in your weight loss journey, I will do whatever I can to support you. My highest weight was 220 lbs and I currently weigh 127.2. You can do it too. Weighing myself daily, diligently tracking my food intake, and exercising daily is how I did it (and how I maintain it). You are already practicing those healthy habits, so you are well on the way.

@AmbersWay oh my gosh that tiny kitten, I hope your husband catches it!
@micaroo4 I’m sorry to hear about Rich’s A1C, I think you have good eating advice for him, those are great places to start. My gosh his plate is full right now, prayers for both of you. Red Hot Chili Steppers is the best, I love that one!
@Cornanda I’ve been wanting to see the Van Gogh exhibit, glad you were able to do that! Sounds like a fun time with your company.
@PaulyJoMomma Hi Paula, welcome to Mission Slimpossibles!
@trooworld Have a wonderful time at the beach! That’s super close, wow! When I went to UC Santa Cruz and lived in the dorms if I left my window open the seals barking would keep me awake.
@DJill68 You have all kinds of great stuff in your garden! I don’t know what happened but I ended up with no jalapenos and I had different pepper seeds, I’m going to have to go buy them now. Good luck at the gym! Honestly I started out having major anxiety like a loudspeaker was going to announce a chubby disabled new chick was attempting to use machines but after some time I got over that “spotlight” feeling. I love those names for walking teams!
Hi team! Made it to the VFW and helped with the military care packages, I’m totally worn out and the tub is almost full so I’m going to make this short. Pics are from this morning, in the group photo I’m 3rd from right (I always stand awkward since it’s hard to stand). Have a great Sunday! I'm going to my parent's for my nephew's birthday, we're going to a restaurant by them so I won't be around tomorrow night, hope you all have a great Monday as well!
