@askewcr I hope you heal up soon. Hugs 🤗
@19shmoo69 I sent you an invite. This challenge started yesterday I think but just jump in there. I’ll keep you on the invites for now on.3 -
@trooworld Thank you, I never posted a recipe with the salad, oops! Your ugly salad sounds amazing! WTG on homemade foods, crazy how much easier it is to eat healthy if you make it all.
@AmbersWay Good luck with the end of school!
@askewcr Great news on the knee to be feeling a bit better! I like the success journey and we’re glad YOU are part of this group, we need you to remind us to Go Get It!
Hi team! Got a lot of sleep and have been home aside of getting my prescriptions earlier. Got in some good time cleaning up the front yard and need to water then bath and bed to read. Ate good, I went a little low to help with yesterday’s treats. Have an awesome Tuesday!
Body mechanics going good for most of the time.

Good morning!
Had a good 7 hour sleep.
Eating was excellent yesterday.
For the first time in months or maybe years, I woke up without the full feeling in my stomach. I know this week will be great. I just hope I can develop habits that get me through months and not just day 1.
Have a good one!6 -
@AmbersWay Oh good, I'm glad you are getting better. I'm okay, plugging along lol. The pups are still fighting but we are working on it. Daisy had to go to the vet yesterday, she has a respiratory infection.
Thanks for asking.
@askewcr I'm glad your knee is feeling better. Way to eat more veggies!
@Katmary71 Oh well, I see a lot of people aren't posting recipes with their salads lol. The ugly salad is so good and is so easy to throw together! You are right about homemade foods. I'm glad you got a lot of sleep. Maybe your body needs it. Have a great day!
Hi all. I had a professional development day at work yesterday. It was okay but they did NOT feed us healthily: it was Costco food all day...muffins and fruit in the morning, pizza at lunch. Today should be better, all homemade foods pretracked.
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."6 -
Good Morning!
First off CONGRATULATIONS to @tammymccrady6278, @gemwolf110, and @Sleepygirl79 for making the leader board.
@askewcr CONGRATULATIONS on 23 yrs, Happy Anniversary! So sorry about your knee, hope it feels better soon. Great job on water aerobics.
@DebJB30 WTG! Great loss💪
@Katmary71 I am sorry to see that you are having such a hard time with your back. Hope all goes well with your ex's biopsy. I am sorry that the steroids are creating problems with weight. It really suck to try so hard one way and have something else mess it up.
@shaunair83 WTG! That is a great loss💪
@AmbersWay Glad to see you are doing better. I would love to be added to the Stridekick challenge.
@Bemybestby60 I am not much of a talker either. I love reading through the feed every morning to help set my mi d for the day.
@leonadixon I am so sorry to see the news about your mom.
@DJill68 I am sorry about your FIL. I hope you are able to push yourself back I to walking. I really helps with Depression.
@gemwolf110 🎉🎂Happy Birthday🎈🎉
@Brigit02 I seem to have the same problem with protein. At the end of the day
I am lucky to have eaten half of what I need.
@vegan4lyfe How are those grandbabies doing? Hope you are getting lots of snuggle time with them.
This is a busy week here, YARD SALE this Thurs - Sat. Will be spending the next 2 days setting up. This will be my last yard sale. There is just to much work getting it ready. My hubby is going to blow his mind when he sees the stuff I am getting rid of. I am just tired of looking at this stuff. I am ready for an update.
As for the weight loss I have lost the weight gained from vacation. The sodium in food from restaurants is just so crazy. I will be doing a lot of home cooking this month. Next week will be my start point for a few adjustments in my normal daily routines. I am working on changing up my bedtime so I can up earlier to walk in the mornings. We have hit the 100 for temp already. Going to add strength training 2x a week.

I’m really struggling lately. I have zero motivation. All I want to do is sleep ( my coping skill) and I can’t even do that. When I have to make the smallest decision, like what’s for dinner, it paralyzing. It’s so stupid, I know, but that’s how my depression works. I have chicken and spaghetti squash, anyone have a recipe or suggestion how I turn this into a decent dinner? I’m going to put on a bra, lol, and walk to my mailbox (8 min walk). Hope it helps. Someone please hold me accountable

Update- fixed lunch, walked to mail box and back. One day I will post the route to my mailbox and then you will understand it’s quite a workout.8

Hello my SlimPeeps! Just now getting around to my intro because my first grandson was just born 5 days ago to my youngest daughter, Hunter, and her hubby Michael. May I introduce Byron Henry. He was 8# and 21”.
This is my first granddaughter (born to my son, Marcus and his wife Ashley) that was born just 7 weeks before Byron is Miss Sophie Ellen. She’s getting so big!
And my middle daughter, Sydney, just announced she’s 6 weeks pregnant! So all 3 of my children will have had a child within one year of each other! Super fun Grammy time for sure!
As a single empty nester, I am enjoying my quiet time with my sweet American Blue rabbit (her name is Kismet). I love to rubber stamp (I’m a Stampin’ Up demo) and make cards. I'm an active member of my church (Board member), and also love horror movies. I have worked in Community Development at my County for over 18 years. I am trying to get back on track with unprocessed, whole foods. When I ate “clean” like that a few years ago, I was able to lose about 40 pounds. Yes. Gained it all back plus 5. I’m working with a therapist on my BED. He’s the best. P.S. Vegan faux meats are the Debil (IYKYK).
No Zero Days June Goals
1. Weigh/Measure/Log all food
2. 6,000 Steps
3. Stop eating when pleasantly full
4. No snacking after 10pm
2023 Mantra: NO WISHES!

*reaching thru to take your hand* Good job, Jill! Keep making that walk with each day, even if it doesn't feel like it, it will do you a world of good 💕. Plus, it's an easy, definable, goal to accomplish each day, too! I bet by the end of summer, of you do it daily, it will feel like a pleasant interlude instead of a difficult workout. 👟👟👏😎❤️🩹
What did you fix for lunch?
On that spaghetti squash and chicken, if it's rainy and chilly by you, put them on a roasting pan, drizzle some olive oil on them, some garlic salt and black pepper, or lemon pepper and rosemary, maybe, and roast them for a yummy dinner.
If it's warmer out, just sautee them.
Depending on how much you have of each, you could plate 4+ servings, and have the rest of the week"s dinners all made for you.
Enjoy 👏3 -
@vegan4lyfe2012 - 3 cousins, almost the same age! It will be so much fun for them if they can get together frequently as they grow up! Byron is quite handsome. And of course Sophie is a doll!0

Oh these sweet babies are the best brightener for the day!!! Congrats @vegan4lyfe2012 I am so happy for you.
@AmbersWay - whew I almost missed this challenge…I saw the notification but didn’t see it when I opened the app. Got it going now. These things are keeping me moving! Thank you!!!
Thank you all for the shoutouts. I’m doing great in all areas expect finding time to update and stay connected to everyone personally. I’m really loving where my life is going right now and i’m so excited for the many great possible directions it could lead. I’m bouncing around major life plans daily and trying to settle on what I want to happen next. Until I decide I’m just gonna keep taking off and getting lost in some woods!!!!

Username: FushiaKat
Weigh-In Tuesday
SW: 245
Maintenance Goal 135 - 140
PW: 137.8
CW: 137.0
So far so good. I won First Place in the Spring Garden contest; I was in the top 07 out of 120. I've not been doing will with the July challenge. I get out only half the days, but that's better than not going outside at all. I got my hearing aids adjusted, but they need adjusted again, if something gets close to them, I get loud feedback in my ears. I cannot wear my headphones. I've been making really poor food choices; I just don't feel very happy at the moment so it's hard to come here and chat. I bought a new silver bracelet with dog bones and cat paw's maybe that will cheer me up a bit.

@megnolia82 Sounds like yesterday was a great day, you’re going into this week with an awesome attitude! You have a good one too!
@trooworld Sounds like the professional development day was tasty despite not being healthy, I love Costco muffins!
@txcritter69 So is the majority of the yard sale stuff your husband’s or yours? I’m wondering because you said it would blow his mind! Great job getting vacation weight off, wtg!
@DJill68 An easy thing to do would be just putting pasta sauce or salsa on chicken and spaghetti squash, I’ve roasted the spaghetti squash and made boats out of it so doing something like chicken taco meat over it would be good. Hey the bra and walk is really hard to do when depressed, last time I went through a bad period my goal was brushing my teeth and making my bed when I got up even if I got back in bed an hour later. I’m glad you made it there, woot woot! Mine is only the distance of a few houses but it’s still something I have to put a bra on because of course if I didn’t someone would be outside wanting to talk.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Byron and Sophie look a lot alike, such precious babies! He looks like an inventor or sci fi writer but maybe I’m thinking that from the dinos and cool hair! Wow and one more on the way, that’s so exciting! Congratulations, enjoy every minute!
@mkksemail Yum your squash and chicken sounds awesome and easy, I love sheet pan meals!
@shaunarlr83 I love that beautiful photo and love the positive attitude, I can’t wait to see what you do next too!!
@FushiaKat Very true half the days is better than none. The loud feedback sounds terrible, I hope you’re able to get that fixed soon. Gentle hugs to you, I hope you feel a little better when you wake up tomorrow and hope the bracelet brings you joy.
Hi team! Spent the day at home mostly resting, my neighbor gave me a bunch of old pots and I brought them home in a wheelbarrow and got some things potted up. Did my PT stretches and some core stuff and am headed out to water then a bath and in bed to read the latest James Patterson Murder Club book. Have a great Wednesday!
- Good body mechanics going well

@vegan4lyfe2012 congratulations on the beautiful grand babies! What a wonderful and exciting time
@djill68 hang in there. Sending big hugs your way. Sounds like you made some progress today just by putting one foot in front of the other even when it was a struggle. That’s an accomplishment. I hope the rest of your day was good.
Happy evening, losers! Today we had a surprise at school. I had a class in the library and suddenly a young starling flew into the room through a hole that a roof drain comes through! The kids (grade 2) were excellent and more fascinated than anything else. We shut the lights and doors and closed all the blinds except a couple where we opened up the windows. It did fly out on its own after some sightseeing. Luckily it stayed up near the ceiling. What a story to take home tonight! Hahaha
I had another dynamite day for eating. I know I thrive on momentum. A good day breeds more good days. A bad day sends me on a downward path. I have to keep building on these excellent days.
Goal: bed by 10:30 tonight so I get 7.5 hours. I’ll let you know if I make it!

Happy Valentime's Day Everybody!!!1

I've been getting my steps in even though my knee is still on and off....
I'm going to try a longer fast tomorrow/Thursday.... the longest I've done is ~24 hours.... I'm shooting for ~36 hours. I'm hoping that will Kickstart things for me.
Tim4 -
@tfelts147 good job on the walking! Just be careful with your knee!
Wow, good for you on the 36 hour fast. I don’t think I could do it. I did the 30 hour famine in high school and that was enough for me.
Well, 10:30 on the dot and I’m in bed and falling asleep. Go me! Goodnight 2 -

Tim
My experience with longer fasts is the clarity I feel after 36 hours, and how great it is for reducing inflammation. I have a condition that I was told could only be controlled with steroids, but I'm able to control it with fasting and no drugs at all. Do you cut out caffeine during your fast? I've done fasting both with and without caffeine. Caffeine during a fast will make you feel supercharged! But without caffeine the fast will do a better job of reducing inflammation.3
