Goals/Day/Comments:
Another day no soda and no ice cream. Almost had some ice cream last night because I was hungry and stressed. But didn’t cave in Whoohoo5 -
Still miserable with this bronchitis. But we are going birding at Plum Island today, so I will do my best to make it a good day and not scare all the wildlife with my coughing.

On the boards here I found a discussion started by this absolutely amazing woman, about her gentle help with supporting and guiding the husband to a healthier life- link below if interested.
It is inspiring, motivating and full of Ninja Creamy modified recipes .
Wish you all best of luck and boatloads of patience!

@tfelts147 - I guess I need to spellcheck better. Two days of junk food sets me back for over a week it seems. Volleyball is the funnest exercise, yay for your team winning!
@gemwolf110 - thank you
@leonadixon - a positive start is the best way to start!!! Keep going!!! 😁
@gjaholy33 - knowing where to make adjustments is key! Rock this week and change those numbers!
@micaroo4 - happy birding, I’ll be awaiting pics!
@Katmary71 - I actually have a trip planned in less than a month, god willing we have a vehicle that will get us there and I have the cash to go lol, gotta get my sons car outta the shop this week and that’s more than my pay for 2 weeks 😬
@vegan4lyfe2012 - Our daughters should be friends 😂 I feel your pain and frustration not to mention heartache.
@DJill68 - you live a mile from that!???? I’m definitely coming to visit and will hike and mow while I’m there 😂….how great! I’m really jealous! I don’t enjoy the gym when I have to go alone, luckily I go late at night when usually no one is there, when I do brave other people in there I notice I go harder, worried they will be watching I guess, the same with when I run I go faster and harder when other people are at the park. I hope you talk him into joining for the company.
@tammymccrady6278 - sorry I forgot to reply to you in the last message, when I got serious back in June last year, I started off with IF. My goal was 15 hours. I did okay with a set window for a bit but the life I was living made that kinda hard so after a bit I just switched to - the last time I ate before going to sleep…..I’d make myself wait 15 hours at least before waiting again. I’ve always been a huge breakfast person, like wake up and all I could think about is what I could eat. When I was fasting I skipped breakfast, lost the craving for it, never felt hungry, usually had to force myself to eat, couldn’t eat as much as before. It took some adjusting at first but it was working for me. I’ve been thinking about going back to it since I work 12 hours and usually only eat once during my shift, I skip breakfast most of the time still and rarely eat before going to work. The hardest part will be my days off but that will stop my binging I believe.
Hey guys!!! Thanks for lifting my spirits. I had a better day yesterday , slept but not all day and was full of energy at work all night and even got in a light cardio workout. Ate great. And im ready for today. Pay pay will always make for a good day right?! 😂 Y’all enjoy yalls coffee (tea) workouts, friends, family, meals, breaks, workday, weekend!!! Love to you all!5 -
@tfelts147 Sorry about the gain, I hope this next week is better for you.
@GabiV125 I've been putting off getting labs done because I will have to go without coffee lol. I need to bite the bullet and get it done.
@leonadixon Congrats on the loss! No, menopause is no joke, I'm going through it too. Nobody tells you what to expect and that's the worst part of it! I hope they can find something that helps.
@DrewsAnna Congrats on the loss. I'm glad your weather has been good. Yay for walks with Chipper and exercise! Whatever you are doing is working!
@vegan4lyfe2012 Congrats on the loss. I'm sorry about your daughter's decision and the depression. Awww, that's a cute pic of you guys. Your daughter looks like you.
@gjaholy33 Gains happen sometimes. I'm glad you are staying positive. Have a great day!
@Katmary71 Yes, Carrie is good so far! I got it from the library as an ebook. I hope you had fun at your neighbor's. That's good that the greenhouse work wasn't too physical. I'm glad Bill got home.
@DJill68 Yeah I like both types of basil but only use Thai basil for Thai food. Basil is awesome! I like cilantro but I had heard that for some people, it tastes like soap which would be disgusting lol. I'm sorry you can't enjoy it!
I made this hearts of palm recipe, Spicy Hearts of Palm Noodles with Chicken, and it was really good: https://www.skinnytaste.com/spicy-hearts-of-palm-noodle-stir-fry-with-chicken/ I found hearts of palm at a specialty store but maybe a regular grocery store would have it for you. It was in the canned food aisles vacuum sealed in a bag. I'm sorry the zoodles were watery, that may be why I don't like them lol. That's a good idea to salt them. Yeah, I love to read! What's a book you've enjoyed lately? That must be complex, finding out your ex has cancer. I'm sorry. You are lucky you can quilt! I do a little sewing but have never attempted quilting.
@tfelts147 Congrats to your team!
@GabiV125 Thanks for the discussion link, I'll check it out.
@shaunarlr83 I'm glad your day was better yesterday.
Hi all. I hope you have a great Friday.

Walking a 5k tomorrow!!
@shaunarlr83 - I think I'm going to do the couch to 5k and be ready by late July early August for a 5k that I can run/ jog....2 -
@DJill68 I have the genetic cilantro thing too, I hate that! It’s the only main culinary herb I refuse to grow. I don’t think there’s any set way to deal with your ex-husband having cancer. OK the gym thing, when I went off all my pain meds I had panic attacks A LOT after being on an anti anxiety med for nerve pain. The gym scared the heck out of me even though I used to go. My goal the first time was just to go in the door and sign in then I added more. Have you worked out prior to the gym at all? It may be easier to get used to your heart rate being high and nothing going wrong prior to going to the gym and/or sticking to non cardio things at first. Just an idea, I admire that you went, I know that’s hard! It does help a lot having someone go with and also if you have headphones relaxing music would be good. I’m thinking now maybe I should’ve watched my aggressive playlists!
@tfelts147 Congratulations on the win, that’s awesome! Couch to 5K gets great reviews, I hope you like it!
@gemwolf110 Way to go on not caving! A friend on my feed told us to try mixing Greek yogurt with a sweetener and fruit and popping it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. I’m trying different yogurts and Fage 2% with a packet of stevia is totally worth 30 more calories it’s so good!
@micaroo4 Hope you were able to have fun birding, I’m sure if you went with a big group and kept coughing you were *real* popular!
@GabiV125 How funny I didn’t know her story and we’re friends on my feed! I got my boyfriend to join and he got double the calories I do so I was mad at him pretty fast. He doesn’t eat a lot so I feel like a pig too though he doesn’t work out. I’m going to read more after I reply, thanks for sharing this.
@Shaunarlr83 Oh no I hope you’re still able to go on the trip, I think it would be great for you!
@trooworld Basil is one of my favorite things to grow, I love trying all the different varieties. Have you tried Persian yet? It’s a little citrusy mixed with anise but not like lemon basil, it’s really good! It was one of my favorite new herbs to try last year.
Weekend time! I got my workout done then went to two grocery stores and ran a few other errands. I donated blood early afternoon and the last time I went I was told it could make pain worse so I got everything out of the way early and have done ok just am sad I can’t take my bath tonight especially not having my micro current machine but I’ll get through it. Trying to get the house and yard clean over the weekend as I invited some friends over next week and everything’s real chaotic with not being able to do much during winter then my last setback. Tomorrow’s the food bank farm and I haven’t been there for a few weeks so I’m really excited to check things out, we’re putting a lot of seedlings in tomorrow. Have a beautiful Saturday! It’s going to be 98 degrees tomorrow so I’ll be watering a lot!

@Katmary71 - LOL, thankfully I don't go birding with a group; it was just me and Rich, and we do our best to stay away from the groups even when I'm not coughing. I'm not one of those people who goes out with a massive telephoto lens and tries to take photos of birds. It's just me and my binoculars. So no photos, sorry. It was not a great day; there were so many people there that the best birding trail for sighting warblers (the Hellcat Trail) had a FULL parking lot all day long, and you are not allowed to park along the road (they tow). We thought of parking at some other trailheads and walking back to hike Hellcat, but other people thought of that as well and those lots were also full. We hiked some other trails and saw lots of waterfowl, shore birds, birds of prey and a few warblers, but I was very disappointed that we couldn't do the best trail in the refuge. Some people go there and just stay all day. There's only room for about 30 cars in the parking lot. We got there at 8:15am and it was already full. I guess we should have tried to get there by 7:00am. In the past, I've taken the bicycles and we park in the big parking lot at the information center, and ride the bikes to reach the trailheads. Unfortunately this time I had the bronchitis and was not fit for bicycling.

Just a quick check in, mainly for accountability. Went to the gym last night. 15 mins on treadmill, 10 mins on bike. FIL was waiting in the car so didn’t want to stay too long.3

@micaroo4 It sounds like a great spot to bird watch, I’m sorry to hear how crowded it was. I admire you still went despite the bronchitis, good for you!
@gemwolf110 Awesome streaks!
@DJill68 Yes on going the the gym, woot woot!
@tfelts147 Congratulations on finishing the 5k, how awesome to do part of it with your grandson, love the matching mohawks!
Hi everyone! Spent the morning at the farm and did leg strengthening and stretching first. I went to the farmer’s market to visit my favorite plant seller and later went to Green Acres (awesome nursery), I have A LOT to do in the yard, yikes! I ordered these cardboard boxes from the post office that said they were military boxes and they were the wrong ones, well apparently those stupid boxes had pantry moth eggs in them as they’re all over the guest bedroom, I went in there to take a nap after the farm as my sheets were in the dryer. Two people from the charity are going to take some tomorrow so we can all put them in the recycle cans, may take awhile as there’s a few hundred. Bill’s doing real good so far which I’m really happy about, our relationship’s been more than a little stressful lately and I broke up with him right before the blood clot, today’s the first day he’s acted back to normal thank goodness. For my basil fans I got a mint basil today, I have to start Googling to see what it’s story is now!

🌷HAPPY MOTHERS DAY🌷
@shaunarlr83 I’m catching up again. We can do a stridekick or apple watch challenge. I need something to get me going more.
@DJill68 your park pics are gorgeous. Sorry about your ex, although an ex I am sure it’s hard news to hear. It’s great that you got some gym time in.
@trooworld how was the book, Carrie? I love reading the books they’re always way better.
@gemwolf110 the kitty rescue went fine, now it’s part of the neighborhood crew. We keep food and water around for them. Congrats on the loss 👏🏻
@DrewsAnna well done on getting those fruit and veggies in. You’re doing good. Enjoy the BBQ today.
@vegan4lyfe2012 I hope your feeling better. Your daughter is beautiful. You’re right, you raised her well and now is her time to show it. ❤️
@gjaholy33 thanks for sharing the video, they’re helpful.
@tfelts147 Congrats on winning your game. Well done on the 5k! Your grandson is adorable. Love the blue accents.
@micaroo4 I hope you’re on the mend now.
@Katmary71 thanks for donating blood ❤️. Glad to see Bill’s doing better. You are a rockstar with all the gardening! Love it. It’s warming up here. Im hoping more cherry tomatoes ripen soon. I wish some big fat green tomatoes would pop up. I’m craving fried green tomatoes. I wonder if they would turn out ok in an air fryer. 🤔

I’m feeling much better. Still really tired and a bit stuffy but much better. I was able to take my daughter to school today which means she was early. Her dad is a turtle in the mornings and makes her on the later side of kinda punctual 😂 my nicest way to put it.
I got on my bike and lasted 15 min yesterday and that was enough. I got in 2.5 mi of walking in my bedroom. So I will hopefully work my way back up soon. I’m so happy to get some things done around the house. Oh and cook! We had so much takeout while I was sick. I miss my kitchen time. It’s my happy place (minus dishes) hence my needing MFP. 😂
