Great job for everyone in the leaderboard!
I’m off today and it is absolutely gorgeous out. We have had so much rain as of late that it is nice to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. I’m keeping with my zero days. Getting my water in daily and my steps. The exercise is coming but by no means totally regular. It will come I know it. Well going to sit back end enjoy the day.6 -

Hello, F2Fers! 🙋♀️
Happy Monday! Happy 'teenth! Today is our newest (US) federal holiday - Juneteenth, which marks the day, on June 19, 1865 that Union soldiers rode into Galveston TX (2 years after the end of the American Civil War, and also some years after the Emancipation Proclamation by Lincoln, that ended slavery in America), and let the last remaining enslaved people know that they were free.
As for up here in the still rainy and overcast corner of the country, aka 🌧️☔ Maine, lol ... Quiet day here today. Hubby, daughter, and I, went out for pizza and beer at a Farmhouse Brewpub and outdoor restaurant about an hour north of here yesterday. And then played Settlers of Catan Seafarer's Expansion Game until way WAY too late! 😱
I slept thru my lab appt this morning (TSH followup bc hypothyroidism meds tweaked about 6 wks ago). 😝 I called, and they let me come in 4 hrs and 15 mins late . 🤣
Cheers! ✌️

⚖️WEIGH IN⚖️
Weigh day Monday
Previous weight - 164
Current weight - 162.8
You guys are hilarious!! Life is great, I had the best week! Got 3 hikes in and my workouts plus worked 4 days! I’m finally able to log a “lowest” weight again after slacking off the past couple months prior. I used to stress when I wasn’t keeping up with logging but I’m doing the work and doing great so I felt there’s no need to stress over logging if I don’t have the time. I’m still making progress! Much love to you all. This group keeps me going for sure…6 -

@DebJB30 It does take awhile to balance out in maintenance, you’re doing great!
@Cornanda Yep we’d both be perfectionists making the perfect bread and getting chubby!
@Brigit02 You’ve been putting in a lot of time in the garden, I want to see pics if you’re willing to share.
@AmbersWay How long will you be in Turkey? I can’t imagine all the stress getting ready for that big of a vacation/leave! Have a great time with your friends tomorrow.
@tcritter69 Sounds like working in the house with that heat is a great idea! I like that you’re donating and getting rid of everything left from the sale instead of it ending up in your garage, that’s a smart call. I still have some bags of clothes I was going to take to Goodwill before they stopped taking things for COVID and some books to take to lending libraries. I need to channel you! I love your vertical vines, what are those ones? I can’t click on the photo to zoom in, I was planning to do that with my cucumbers and melons but it was my last project to build the trellises when my back conked out after the tomatoes and peppers. I have a cucamelon and I put it next to the green beans to share, I have a bunch of sticks going to a small trellis, it actually is working but is definitely a poor woman’s trellis! Everything in your garden looks great! I love the herb labels too!
@trooworld Oh good I’m glad you’re seeing your doctor tomorrow, I was wondering if you’d gone. I’m glad you aren’t worse but wish you were feeling a little better. Good luck at work today.
@shaunarlr83 Congratulations on top individual loss and individual lbs lost last week, woot woot!
Go Mission Slimpossibles coming in second!
@shaunarlr83 @DebJB30 @tfelts147 Top losers of the last week, awesome job team!
@tammymccrady6278 Sounds like the perfect day, love your attitude and it sounds like it’s all falling into place.
@mkksemail Sounds like a fun family night! Oh no glad you were able to get in for the lab, if you hadn’t had such a fun night I’d be worried it had to do with your medicine tweak as far as sleeping in! Very cool they got you in.
@shaunarlr83 You just keep growing more and more awesome, I don’t know how you do it! Talk about blooming where you landed, you’re the definition of that saying!
Hi everyone! Had a good workout this morning, took care of stuff at my brother’s, and got some new plants in and now I have some charity stuff to do. Took it easy in between as I’m a little worn out today and need to recharge some. Have a great Tuesday everyone! Still doing good on No Zeros and probably 75% good on body mechanics.

OMG @katmary71- everyone please google cucamelon and look how cute they are!4

Woo hoo! Congrats to the whole team for getting 2nd place by percentage and pounds lost! A special shout-out goes to @shaunarlr83 for leading the way with that 5.6 lb loss! Additional shoutouts to @DebJB30 and tfelts147 for getting on the leaderboard! Woo hoo team!
@txcritter69 Your garden is looking awesome!
@mkksemail Thank you for this. Our students had the day off but staff did not, we could use one of our floating holidays for it but I think we should get it off. Sounds like you had a great, fun day!
@Katmary71 Yeah I went to urgent care on Saturday but they couldn't figure it out. I hope the doc can. Thanks. I hope you take it easy today. Hugs.
@Cornanda Oh those are so cute! I want to eat some.
Hi all. Still have stomach pains. Yesterday, my INTENTION was to go for a walk on my lunch but work was a sh1t show and I did a lot of physical work moving things around so I didn't go for a walk. Today is likely going to be the same way, so no walk.
4th of July challenge: tracked 100% of what I ate
My phrase for the year: "Every choice is another chance to change my health for the better."3 -
@txcritter69 Your garden is looking great! I am into gardening too. Started gardening during the pandemic; added a little more each year - now it seems like it is taking over my yard! LOL. Started off as a container garden, then we made a little in the ground garden. This year added another container area, and my back deck. 😁 Things were looking good until today - some kind of critter got my peas and cucumbers! I bet it was the stinker groundhog that loves my front porch (its a good thing he's cute).
Tomatoes, herbs, corn, and my destroyed peas and cucumbers.
Broccolli
Brussel Sprouts
Mostly different varieties of peppers
Potatoes
Tomatoes, Squash, Watermelon and More Potatoes
Carrots and another Potato (if they all produce don't know what we will do with 1000 pound of potatoes - but the bag of potatoes we had all had ears, so planted them all) and the ones on the side are sweet potato - that aren't doing very well.

LOVE the gardening pix!!
Ok, def going to Google cucamelon next! 😅

As promised some pics of the garden:

25 weeks and counting. I had a rough week last week but with so many people keeping an eye on me I don't want to let anybody down. I chat with my shrink next week and I wanted to report that I'm still doing well and staying under 140. I had a mammogram today, expecting good results since it's just a checkup. I eat my radishes sliced and I dip them in salsa sometimes. I got a new jar of pickles ate the market on Monday. I have been craving extra nuts, and yesterday I reached for my go to foods instead. I love this flavor and can eat the entire bag at a go.
I love the Gardening pictures. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations to the team members @shaunarlr83 @DebJB30 @tfelts147 who are on the leaderboard, well done.
@Katmary71 I love your garden, I'm wishing you all the best with your health issues. Did you get hooked up with a neurosurgeon?4 -
@Cornanda LOL it IS super cute, it’s my first time growing it, I hope it does well.
@trooworld With not feeling good it makes sense not to walk, hang in there.
@ddainiak LOL he IS super cute, the videos of critters standing in front of cameras eating people’s produce in the garden are the best though it’s annoying when it’s your yard. My zucchini has had aphids before the flowers could bloom and I saw a squash bug AND a grasshopper on my summer squash earlier. My garden got way bigger with COVID too plus I stupidly let an annoying ex-boyfriend move in during that time and the garden was my escape from him. I love all your grow bags, that’s what I’m using too but have them crammed together and not all pretty like yours! Is that corn on the far right top? Everything looks amazing!
@mkksemail You’ll see why I couldn’t resist throwing in a cucumelon, hope it tastes good too! They were all stuck together at the nursery, I almost gave up on untangling it! Hope the tummy clears up.
@Brigit02 Very beautiful garden, I love all the flowers! What are the yellow ones? I’m just starting to get into flowers, they’re fun and the pollinators really love them in with all my veggies.
@FushiaKat Those nuts look amazing, yum! Good luck with your appointments. I’m still waiting on the neurosurgeon, things with the pain clinic are frustrating as they lost a few practicioners so everything is haphazard, I’ll make sure to run it by the pain doctor later this week. Thank you for your support, always wishing the best for you too.
Hi friends! I kept taking naps today, been one of those days. I’ve noticed even if I keep a greenhouse or farm day short if they’re two days in a row I’m wiped out for days afterward so I didn’t go today. I lagged on getting the charity stuff done so I’ll be doing it tomorrow. Did a good workout and fish emulsioned the garden and dried some herbs. I have Walmart pickup in an hour so I’m headed back outside. I trim the flowers off tomatoes and peppers when I plant them so more effort goes into the plant and it looks like a sungold will be the first tomato (we’re harvesting them already at the farm) and there’s a Johnny Nardello vs jalapeno vs Hungarian wax for first pepper. Rattlesnake beans are the first beans so far. Have a great Wednesday! I’m having my neighbor over for dinner tomorrow night to finally make the baked feta pasta, I’m expecting it to be extra amazing now that two nights of planning to make it fell through!
- Not too hot with body mechanics today but I DID order a smaller jug of cat litter instead of hauling the cheaper 32lb or 40lb pail around the house. That’s one of the things that went through my head when the last PA asked what I’d been doing to herniate discs! Aside of the PT I learned last year the cat litter and potting mix are the worst two things and the latter I always use the hand truck, I did go down on that too though the higher price bugs me!

@Katmary71 He isn't our groundhog, just a GIF I found. But ours is just as cute. Yes, the last pot is corn. We were successful growing last year, although they were really small. We had leftover seeds so planted again.2
-
@Katmary71 The yellow ones in front are Cosmos and the yellow/orange ones behind them are daylily's. I divide the daylily's yearly and in the fall collect some of the seeds from the cosmos and plant them the following year. (I only collect some because the birds like to eat them and it's fun to watch.)
I'm also growing herbs which are doing good. I haven't had too much success with vegetables.3 -
Saw this today 😁

Good Morning folks!
@shaunair83 you are doing great. You are right, no since in stress over anything if what you are doing is working.
@trooworld I hope you get to feeling better soon
@ddainiak I started this yr with the mini to see if I could do it. I love it. Your garden looks awesome. I am sorry that you peas and cucumbers were enjoyed by critters and not you. I worry about the deer getting in to my plants. So far I have been blessed.
@Katmary71 I use to take my stuff to goodwill but have recently been looking into local organizations that help the homeless and less fortunate. I feel if I am giving it away them it should be free for the person in need. Goodwill really does nothing for the community. The vertical vines are my pickle cucumbers. Next to it are my cantaloupes, beside that is watermelon vines with sweet peppers in between. I have been debating if I should transplant peppers to pots so watermelon has more room, but afraid I might kill the plants.
This mini garden has been a learning experience for me. This fall I am building my garden area. I have decided to go bigger. This is the pic I am use for my idea except I am going to use pallets for the fence and have wire fence around the top to keep the deer out.
Got to go for now. Have to get the outside work done before it gets to hot. Will check back later.
