@19shmoo69 - the best one was the coffee vacation!1
-
@19shmoo69 Is that Costa Rica? It has to be, right? COFFEE!
@865jessica Thank you! I liked most of what they picked out, and I purchased some things. I'm excited to try some new stuff! CONGRATS on your loss, that must feel good to have a nice loss! I hope you feel better soon, sorry you are sick.
@megnolia82 That sounds fun to make tomato stuff. I hope it goes well!
@digger61 Congrats on the loss!
@Cornanda I do good and then I do bad lol. Thank you!
@Katmary71 I had a great time at the Y. I always feel much more flexible when I go to that class. I had a great time at Macy's, I put my experience on the other discussion we have with the other folks. I hope you have fun at your Dad's birthday! And I hope the tea helps. HUGS.
@DrewsAnna Progress! That's good to get organized.
Hi all. I did go to Macy's yesterday and had a lot of fun. I got some outfits and got a good deal. I also ordered (from 3 different websites) 3 pairs of new shoes: I have a bunion and my podiatrist has me wearing these wide toe box tennis shoes all the time, even with dress pants and I hate it. I look so unstylish. I was looking all over and all the shoes made for bunions are either matronly or unfashionable or both. I finally found some shoes that aren't too bad. It was expensive but I need my fashionable shoes lol. I hope they don't hurt my bunion. I'm going to the zoo today before it gets too hot. It's always good exercise as there are lots of hills and the San Diego Zoo is huge.
Darren (@19shmoo69) is onto something: I am going to post a pic of my ideal vacation spot. I haven't been here but would love to. How about you? Show me pics of your ideal vacation spot! This is Italy, in case you couldn't tell...

Way to go Slims--on the amazing results for Week 1!
Did a 5 mile hike this morning with the dog and husband. Then came home and promptly took a nap, lol. It's been a quiet semi-rainy Sunday, hope yours is going well.
@micaroo4 : Way to turn it around, Mica! Love me some Chai, tho--it would be hard not to partake.
@DrewsAnna : Nice job on getting out the clutter and getting organized. I cleaned out the spice rack a few months ago and found 3 bottles of thyme. The weird thing is neither of us remember buying or cooking anything with thyme.
@19shmoo69 : Totally approve of your vacation spot--have a cup of joe on me:
@Katmary71 : Hope the healing continues. Had a big laugh about the MJ tea and flashbacks to university days, lol. Happy birthday to your Dad and enjoy your time with him!
@Cornanda : We could be twinsies, I'm not doing so well on the challenge either, but here's to another day!

@DrewsAnna I think organizing your kitchen is a great idea, it makes cooking and shopping so much more time efficient and fun.
@micaroo4 Oh yum I think having a better quality version of something you love every once and awhile is worth it and more satisfying. I'm glad it was something you enjoyed! I did that with pumpkin spice latte/cold brews last week, yum.
@trooworld Hahaha I have a bad bunion too, I had to laugh at your shoe talk because I get it. San Diego zoo can be really exhausting, I went there right after my pelvic nerves were burned and was so exhausted! It IS great exercise though!
Go Mission Slimpossibles, second place for percentage and lbs this week, woot woot!
@steffibabiie @megnolia82 @865jessica Way to go top team winners!
I got four hours of sleep in a row, yay! I have a little relief from the steroids thank goodness. Getting the cans out for tomorrow morning wore me out but still it's promising even to feel 1% better. I did some stretching this morning then did some massage on my feet which hurt but felt good as they've been locked clenched under most the time. My Dad's 81 today, my Mom went out of town the week of his birthday with her friends and sisters so my brother's family and I are having his birthday dinner and cake (she told him she didn't care if he went out without her which probably hurt his feelings but kids, grandkids, and grandpets will cheer him up). I feel kind of bad for him, she's been ditching him a lot. I'd better get the garden squared away, I'm harvesting a bunch of rosemary and mint to make some hair products with and still need to finish the mint. Have a great Sunday night and here we come Monday, all of us getting back to it grab hands and virtually run into the ocean waves tomorrow!2 -
@Katmary71 Thank you!
Woohoo! I needed a boost this morning. Yesterday was a bit of a mess, and the scale shows it. I didn't stick to my 8 hour window and had some poor food choices. For the most part they weren't even enjoyable poor choices, more or less just made out of convenience. BUT I did end doing my roast chicken with tzatziki and tabbouleh for dinner so I have my recipe!
@vegan4lyfe2012 @Neon_Ninja
Quinoa Tabbouleh
This makes enough for 1 person (more or less, depending on how much you eat), just multiply by as many people as you need to feed x- 30g quinoa (uncooked weight)
- 50g roma tomato, chopped
- 10g fresh parsley, finely chopped (more or less to your preference)
- 1tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1tsp extra virgin olive oil
- salt to taste
Cook the quinoa in water with a tiny sprinkle of salt, and allow to cool before mixing with all other ingredients. Can be prepared early and stored in the fridge if needed. Also with the parsley, I chop the whole sprig, stems and all. If you're doing just the leaves, I would likely reduce the weight by around half.
@19shmoo69 here's my dream vacation spot! You can definitely have a coffee while you enjoy the view 😊

In case you were thinking about doing the One Chip Challenge. Don't do it. I repeat Don't Do It!!
My oldest son and I did it today. While the eating wasn't too bad the extreme pain in the intestinal region was the worst pain I have ever felt. Then two hours later it came back. So don't do it.5 -

My past month has caught up with me. I’m doing much better this week with getting back on track so I’m hopeful to see a drop next week.

Hey y'all,
I didn't do anything I said I was going to do today except for getting back on track. I ate all 3 of my golo my meals and hubby and I watched football all day. Gotta love the "Redzone", you don't miss a play.
Lol, I don't know what made me think I could get things accomplished in the kitchen where I can't see the t.v. 😅😅 Oh well, tomorrow is a brand new day. Gotta make my bagels, make some tomato sauce for canning and clean out the pantry. I did make up 5 days of some pumpkin spice overnight oats and those are gonna be good 😋
Alright, y'all, I'm going to finish my evening tea. Y'all have a great evening.

I just spent the last half hour reading posts. Whew!
🎊Congratulations to all those who made the boards this week 🎊
Happy Belated Birthday 🎉 to those who celebrated recently.
I am absolutely loving the pictures of pups and locations. I need to collect new pictures of my 3 rescue doggies. They’re the best girls ever!
You all are living in some gorgeous places. It’s fun to see. Thanks for sharing.
I’m sending hugs to all of you who are having health issues. Covid, migraines, colds and depression. I really do feel for you all. Praying you all find yourself in better health soon.
All the recipes are exciting to see. I need to save them. Thanks for sharing!
@19shmoo69 I will always avoid those spicy challenges. You’re brave. 😂
@Katmary71 so glad you and your brother are making your dads birthday fun. Even the grands and grandpets.
@trooworld I hope your shoes turn out great. It’s a blessing to find comfort.
@micaroo4 are you avoiding everything sweet? My friends started a no sugar challenge but have honey.
@steffibabiie your dinner sounds like what my family wants daily. I swear they would live on it. 😂
I love the vacation spot. We have Maldives on our wishlist for the upcoming year.
@Neon_Ninja rainy days require a nap! It wasn’t rainy at all this summer in Istanbul and I was sad to not have my nap tradition. 😂
@Cornanda you and me both! Ive been having carbs and it shows.
——
Thanks for all the congrats messages. I’m so excited to have “new” clothes without shopping.
I’m preparing for a big wedding this weekend. Trying to make sure I stay the same size for my dress 😆 because if I puff at all it will be an issue!
I have my MRI tomorrow. It’s been 2 years since being diagnosed with a brain tumor and being on a medication that has been harsh with side effects. I’m praying it has stopped growth and hopefully it’s gone! Praying they can wean me off this medication and I will be ok. Please send prayers, thoughts, hugs. I’m extremely claustrophobic since the 5 hours of an MRI. Leaving me stuck in that machine after a very horrible botched surgery, I’m not good with the test now. This one require my head being locked in a cage on top of it. Ugh! I did an open MRI in Istanbul previously but it’s not available here. So I am trying to be brave and just get it done tmrw. Pray for great results and be able to move on from this.
My husband had a good appt with the thoracic surgeon. He also decided against surgery and wants him to continue to heal on his own. He will not be the same and will have bumps from the bones overlapping, and such but should be fine otherwise. We aren’t worried about looks, we just want good health.
That’s all here. Have a great day!5 -
@AmbersWay - I'm avoiding all added sugar, in any form. I am eating fruit to satisfy sweet cravings.2

Congrats to the whole team for pulling down 2nd place by both percentage and pounds! Woo hoo! And a special shout out goes to @steffibabiie @megnolia82 @865jessica for making it onto the leaderboard! Way to go!
@DebJB30 @megnolia82 Congrats on the losses!
@19shmoo69 Agreed!
@Neon_Ninja Great job with the hike! I think you deserved that nap.
@Katmary71 Yeah, when you know you know lol. Yes, the zoo is very exhausting and then add the hot weather right now and it's a lot! But we had fun. Is 4 hours of sleep good for you? I hope you get more than that! Aww, your poor dad! I hope he had fun anyway.
@steffibabiie Beautiful spot. Is that Tahiti?
@19shmoo69 Wow! Good to know. I don't want extreme pain lol. I'm sorry you guys had to go through that.
@DrewsAnna Way to go, getting back on track! Today is a new day.
@AmbersWay Thank you! You take for granted your foot comfort until you have pain. I can't wait to try them on! I'll be thinking of you today for your MRI. 5 hours is a long time! Your poor hubby.
Yes, good health is the most important thing. HUGS.
Hi all. It was so hot here yesterday but we went to the zoo anyway. It wasn't too bad in the morning when we went, thankfully, but the weather did put a damper on any other things I wanted to do. Back to work today, not looking forward to it. I want to just enjoy a day off! Soon enough, I'm taking time off in a few weeks. Have a great day!

@19shmoo69 - Oh man, I've seen video of people doing the one chip challenge and it looks painful.
@bethanie0825 - I live close to the Smokey Mountains. I hope you enjoy your trip.
@AmbersWay - I hope your scan comes back clean. How horrible that you got stuck in the MRI machine. I sorry that happened to you. Do they offer you any medicine to relax and stay calm?
@Katmary71- That is cool you make your own hair products. I love mint. I'm sorry about your Mom ditching your Dad on his birthday.
Been a busy weekend with birthday parties and cookouts but back to normal today. Staying on track with calorie count and carb numbers. Not so good with protein but going to start paying more attention to it today. Tomorrow I have to be on a clear liquid diet as prep for my Endoscope and Colonoscope Wednesday. Not looking for to it but going to be a big girl and just do what needs to be done.
Hope everyone has a good start to their week.3
