Good morning,
I started this a few days ago but got so busy on trip that I could not finish. I am going to post and finish catching up later as I have to get my work out in and get ready to go furniture shopping, I will explain that later as well.
@laurelfit57 That is so great that you have a little helper with gardening. Ty is too cute. We grandmas will always be cool. Your day yesterday is making me tired today. LOL
@AustinRuadhain the first tomato plant I had was in a pot. when, the weather got too hot I brought it into my game room and put it in front of a window and continued to get tomatoes. Put it back out after the heat broke and kept it out until winter started setting in, put it back in front of that window and it still produced all winter long. When spring hit I put it back out and had tomatoes from it doing the same thing for that yr. That planted made it through 2 seasons before dying off.
@DrewsAnna I am not crazy about the new generation of walk leaders. I like her motivation. That is great on the loss. I will be a week behind once I get home and start the challenge.
@TeresaW2024 I had 3 closets full of clothes that someday I will fit in again. 2 yrs ago I heard a YouTuber say that hanging on to those clothes is nothing but a stressor. I did go through all of them and picked out a few favorite items that I wanted to keep and donated the rest to an organization that helped the less fortunate. Now I have a closet to hang all the door wreaths I make. LOL The rest is in the back of a closet waiting for me. I hope you have a wonderful day with your niece and the kids.
@trooworld I am sure your hubby means well. It is a big change having that surgery as you know. You will do fine.
@Veta2018 The Grand Canyon is awesome. WE renewed our wedding vows on our 10th anniversary. My FIL did the ceremony. We also went back on our 22nd anniversary.
More later
Have a great day.

@TeresaW2024 Ouch you must've been hurting bad then getting a “cherry” lecture would be mortifying! I had a neighbor poke me with a broom in the thigh and he was screaming that he'd gotten rid of mine, I had no clue what he was talking about but knew it was bad so I punched him and he fell then ran in the house crying and his twin ran up to hit me and I pushed him in the street and he followed his brother crying inside. Their Mom came out yelling she was walking me home to talk to my mom about beating up the twins and when I said they were telling everyone they popped my cherry she turned around and followed them in the house without saying anything. I think we've swapped these stories before I'm having deja vu! With CRPS being a malfunctioning of the autonomic nervous system learning how to stimulate the vagus nerve has been very helpful. Glad you had fun with the girls!
@laurelfit57 Games are a tough one for food! I'm glad the coaches have been so supportive at the agility match. Hope no scores helps with the stress.
@micaroo4 I hope there's a break in the rain, sounds like you got some good workout time in.
@txcritter69 Did it end up being a good trip? I hope so!
@trooworld True I don't think Prince would be thrilled either with how he stood up to studios and wanted to honor music with how things are going. WOW I didn't know that, I've only done regular donations. You're the Queen of walking today go you! The bariatic group sounds fun is it local or online?
@annachangesagain I got it, it came in after I had posted weigh-in info but when I went back to reply to everything I logged it. Thanks for checking!
@sleepygirl79 Crazy how much salty causes us to retain water, I have to take all my rings off within an hour of eating it or they're stuck on my fingers.
Hi team! I wouldn't exactly call today a cherry festival at the farm we went to but it was fun, there was a bunch of products for sale and I got an apple turnover that was real good and some cherry sangria. I had a teen run in between me and my friend when we were getting in line for doughnuts and she got in my face when I went to go around her. I ended up getting screamed at about being entitled when I just wanted to lean on the wall near my friend as I didn't bring my walker but no one was actually going to listen or cared for the truth so I ignored them (learning I don't need to fight everyone). Got cherries too of course. I need to go get my prescriptions and Walmart order, have a great Sunday!3 -

Oh goodness, it’s been a long time since my last check in. I’ll enter my weigh in tomorrow morning. This week got away from me.
June is always insane in school. We have 3 weeks of classes left and it sort of feels like skiing downhill on an ever steeper slope. I’m pretty sure I’ll blink and it will be July.
I’m struggling a bit with my eating the past couple weeks. I’m frustrated that I can undo a month’s worth of hard work in just a few days. So, like I’ve done many times before I will commit to getting back on track.
I’ll see you in the morning!

@Katmary71 yes, as delicious as salt can be, it can be evil on the body.
Hey all! I have been MIA again. This is nothing new. Spring activities are winding down so hopefully life is a bit more calm. I finally started running again. I usually start in April but with my difficulties with catching my breath, I’ve put it off. I’ve finally said f$&k it and started. It’s definitely no where near where I left off last year, as I still have troubles getting winded quickly, but I figure even 2 minutes is better than none. We all know the saying “what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger”. So hopefully I keep going with the stronger route 😉.
I will try to check in periodically even if it’s only weekly.
Congrats to all our ‘losers’ this week. Keep it up!5 -
Hi everyone,
I've been meaning to check in, but I've been so tired. I traded in the ab challenge for a shovel for a couple of days, I'm definitely not used to that kind of work. I was so tired and sore that I was just passing out after I ate some, not so good for me, food. Today, I went for a little hike up to a waterfall with my daughter and a couple of her friends. Their kids and 3 fur babes. I didn't take mine and I'm kind of glad I didn't. It was about a 3-mile walk (hike) round trip. Going up hill was definitely hard for me, but I made it. Afterwards, we went to Dairy Queen. I had chicken strips and a blizzard, I gave my rootbeer and french fries to the kids. Tomorrow our weather is supposed to cool back down to the lower 70's, I'm so thankful for that. I hate the heat.
I got my new watch and I'm loving it. Those who have Garmin watches, my name is either AnnaDrews or DrewsAnna, send me a connection request. I have one.
@AustinRuadhain I traded in the ab challenge for a shovel for a couple days. I'm done putting beauty bark in my gardens so I'm done with that shovel for now. I restart the ab challenge tomorrow. I accepted your connection request, I looked at your newsfeed, girl you exercise a lot. You are definitely doing great.
@TeresaW2024 That was a cute story about your niece feed her baby brother ice cream. It reminded when my two oldest were babes, the oldest alway wanted to help with her baby brother. One morning I woke up to butter and Captain Crunch cereal all over the crib, the wall around the crib, (thank goodness I had floors and not carpet in that bedroom.) She said, "Mom, he was hungry". Lol.... It took forever to clean up that mess.
Y'all have a great rest of your evening, TTYL...

Good morning Slims!
It's a beautiful day here. It would be a great day to bicycle to work, but I'm just not prepared. I would have too much stuff to haul (lunch, snacks, beverages). I prefer to ride unencumbered. I did my strength training workout this morning, and took an early morning walk for 3 miles. Saw a whole family of baby skunks; I counted at least 5, they were sticking together like glue. Didn't see the mama.
I've got workmen coming to the house tomorrow to replace windows. Unfortunately, there's a baby bunny who has been hanging out under my shrubbery; he'll be disturbed when they start working, and he'll probably run off and not return.

No more pity party. Time to smarten up.
Here’s the stupid thing: I know I’ve eaten terribly the past week or two. And my body is screaming at me! I’ve had headaches, my feet hurt? My bra is too tight. My food makes such a big difference in my daily quality of life. I can’t keep making these poor choices.
Onward and upward, my friends!4 -

Woohoo Mission Slimpossibles hitting 3rd place! @txcritter69 @annachangesagain @laurelfit57 Great job top winners!
@megnolia82 I agree it seems insanely easy to get off track fast, very frustrating. I'm at a similar place real flared up right now from my treatment last week then started eating gluten again, it definitely takes a toll on the body.
@sleeepygirl79 I'm glad you're able to run and hope your breathing will go smoother. Wishing for the best for you!
@DrewsAnna Way to go on not eating everything at DQ, that was smart thinking. I've been fighting the urge to get a Blizzard for a week. The shoveling sounds like great exercise!
@micaroo4 I hope the bunny comes back, good luck with the windows tomorrow.
@trooworld Violet lunging at people sounds exhausting your arm must hurt! Garden sounds good I hope you're harvesting tomatoes soon. I've only had a couple ripen so far but in a few weeks things will be crazy. What a beautiful lake!
@vegan4lyfe2012 Sending lots of prayers to you and Hunter!
Hi team! Not feeling too hot but wanted to get on here and say hi, still real flared up so I'm going to rest and turn off all electronics and read and nap for a bit. Have a great night and awesome Tuesday!3 -
Thanks so much everybody for all the well wishes for my agility match. For the first time my brain did not blow up at a match, what I mean by that is it used to just get so overwhelmed with all the colours, sights and sounds (I had absolutely no filter) that it would shut down from the overwhelming amount of information going into my brain all at once. I did get a little stressed, but once I realized that my brain was continuing to function all was good. I was able to focus on the course and what we needed to do and not pay attention to everything else in the environment. I definitely made some mistakes, but it was just operator error lol. Vannie had so much fun! I didn't realize there were going to be so many runs, we did seven! In class, I do maybe three runs, I was exhausted as was Vannie when we were done.
Instead of taking the dogs for a walk today I thought I would just take them to the park to play fetch totally lazy on my part. I knew Vannie would be tired today as well, so I thought just a few chuckit balls and she would be good, which she was. I have a command for her, if I sort of twisted my leg to the side and say hup, Vannie will jump on that leg and launch into my arms. After we played, I said hup to Vannie, she looked at me and spun around so her back was facing me, that's what she does when I am just going to pick her up in my arms. She was done and there was going to be no jumping today🤣.
I did a spin class first thing this morning and Ty obedience class this afternoon, I am staying home and not moving from my couch tonight watching the game by myself, I don't think I can move 🤣.
Thanks again so much everybody for the support, it really meant a lot!

WI Monday
Please use last weeks number. I have landed but the scale in my house needs a new battery. So I should get that done in the next couple days.
Im behind 84 posts. Eeek! But I have arrived at my house, it’s in one piece. Getting it back in order. I’ll be back to posting as soon as I get things under control here.
Have a beautiful day.5 -
Good morning Slims!
Workmen are coming today for the windows. I'm nervous and excited. It will be great to have new windows, but it's just freaking awful to have strangers invading my space and disrupting the house. I've moved the furniture 3 feet away from the windows, which basically means everything is pushed into the middle of the rooms, and has to stay like that until they finish. If they don't finish today, then I can't put my house in order until tomorrow.
I got a text from my brother yesterday, telling me he had a little accident. It seems he fell down the stairs during the night on Sunday. He has no memory of the fall. He woke up with a headache, his head stuck to the pillow from the dried blood in his hair, a big lump on his head, a shoulder injury and a back injury. This isn't the first time he's fallen at night and had no memory of it. 4 years ago he woke up on the floor with broken ribs. I know he takes something to sleep, and I wonder if he's sleep walking. He said he might go to the doctor today to get the back and shoulder injuries checked out. I suggested that he get an Apple Watch, which has fall detection and you can set up 911 notifications. He says he doesn't wear a watch. Boys are stupid. No offense Darren.

Wahhoooo to us for making 3rd place! @txcritter69 @annachangesagain and @laurelfit57 you are super stars!
@txcritter69 I agree that hanging onto the clothes is a stressor. I did go through my closet a few months ago and pack up the clothes that I loved that are two or more sizes smaller than I am right now. I have the next size down hanging up, which is a lot of clothes. I’m not getting rid of these clothes because I WILL be back into them soon. My determination is growing stronger every day.
@AustinRuadhain I’m not as far as you are on Bridgerton. Joe isn’t into watching more than one show a day. I guess that is OK because dragging out this delicious program is worth it!
@Katmary71 Haha, that story about you and the twins is hilarious. That mom must have been mortified. I don’t know if we have shared, but I sure enjoyed reading your story.
Good grief on that obnoxious teenager!
@megnolia82 It’s OK to get behind when life is so busy. What summer plans do you have? Instead of being frustrated, you just have to get back to doing the work needed to be where you want to be. You know that.
@sleepygirl79 Good luck on your running. Just keep at it.
@DrewsAnna Ohhh my goodness! Butter and cereal would be a terrible mess to clean up. I bet that baby was happy, though!
@trooworld I didn’t know it was Prince’s birthday either. Yesterday, my sister told me that Prince wrote the song Manic Monday by the Bangles. It is great that you have committed to making the intentional movement. Walking is such good exercise that it will be good for you and Violet. She just needs to stop being fearful of people and stressing you out! That lake looks lovely.
@laurelfit57 Whew, I got tired from reading your post! I’m glad the agility match went so well. How funny of Vannie, and good for her to say no. She had enough, and that was that.
@micarro Oh that is scary about your brother passing out and falling. This started happening with my husband a few years ago. It had to do with his blood pressure dropping when he would get up to use the bathroom. Your brother definitely needs to talk to his doctor.
Good morning! I wrote most of this post yesterday morning and then forgot to post it! Today, we are going to lunch with our new pastor and his wife. It’s his birthday, too, so he'd better let us pay! After that, I will go pick up some fresh eggs from my bestie’s house. She is out of town, but her husband knows to leave the garage open so I can raid their garage fridge. I’ve been obsessed with watching the videos in the Diligent Mind Self-Care program I’m doing. And I feel very motivated to do “the work” and change my behaviors. For the last three days, I’ve cut out snacking, which you all know, is one of my big issues. One of the main lessons is learning to become “weakless,” which means not being weak and giving in to temptation but acknowledging the temptation before giving in and saying no, which makes you weakless. All good stuff!
Here is a poem I thought fit so well in describing temptation and our power over it. Have a great day!

DISCUSSION QUESTION: What can I do to consume more water today?
Ok, my first thought is why is that even a goal? I do consume a lot of fluids, sometimes water, but I don't keep track. I've probably had 6 cups of beverages this morning, and none were plain water. I'm plenty hydrated, and I drink what I like. I'm the heretic of the group.

I have been feeling like crap lately, mentally. My family had a family event ( my sister's son's christening ) a few days ago. I didn't want to eat badly but I didn't have a choice as we were to head to my sister's place right after the event where food was served for lunch. They had cake too, one of my weaknesses ( sweets ). I ate a big slice that I was given thinking at least the taste would be worth the calories and it wasn't. I was so bummed that later for dinner, I was like well, since I already was bad today, let me be bad for dinner and get Pollo Tropical so I can at least enjoy something I ate today. The food was all right taste-wise but nothing to be excited about, and then I just felt bloated and had that awful aftertaste of that garlic sauce all night until the next morning, as if it was a silent nasty reminder of my bad eating. I weighed 3 pounds heavier too! I know some of it is probably salt/water retention but still, it was upsetting to see such an impact from one day of eating.
I thought to myself, I'm going to walk my butt off this week to lose what I gained during my off day, but of course, I live in Florida and it's the wet season, where it rains every day. So, now, I'm stuck inside trying to walk in place or doing workout videos from YouTube hoping it's enough to lose the weight by Friday. All from eating bad one day with food that wasn't even worth the calories/fat. Ugh! If I end up gaining weight this Friday, that is why.
Hopefully, you guys are having better luck with your week.

I swear I posted last week, I'm sure of it but I could not find my update. So I apologize if I missed last week.
It's been a bit hectic here, our sick cat Tessie passed away Sunday night. I spent all day Saturday with her, she just got tired of being sick. We buried her in the backyard yesterday. I will miss her.
My weight is holding steady. I just came in from doing some yardwork, my feet are swollen today my boots were tight and they are usually loose. I've been busy filing paperwork and getting our office ready for my husband's new desk which is scheduled to arrive July 1st.6 -
@FushiaKat - I'm so sorry that your beloved cat Tessie passed away. 😢 I know how hard it is to say goodbye to furry snuggles and kitty kisses.

My brother got x-rays and a CT scan. Nothing broken, but he has a small brain bleed. They are going to monitor him for 6 hours, then send him home. He'll have to consult with his PCP about the shoulder and back pain.
