@vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you ! Check out that salad I posted last post, I think you would really like it and could veganize it! I know you are going to figure out that tea drink, it sounds amazing! And yay for 12g of protein to start the day! Thanks for sharing the pictures.
@TeresaW2024 Good luck with your junk drawer , those can get out of control really easily and that's another one I need to add to my list. Thank you! I appreciate the support! I'm sorry about the Joe incident, that must be scary when that happens. I'm glad you were able to call for help. Congrats on the new phone, that's super fun! I'm so sorry about the scam. Don't feel stupid, these scammers are getting more and more sophisticated every day, especially with tools like AI now. AND you are so stressed right now, I can totally see how this happened! BIG HUGS to you.
@Littlebabekitty Congrats on the loss !
@baodell17724 That's a good idea to switch things up by trying the OA journaling . Good luck!
@micaroo4 I hope you are having a great time on your vacation .
DISCUSSION QUESTION: What do you love about your body right now? I don't love much about my body right now, it's pretty flubbery and I'm not happy with that. HOWEVER, at work, when I walk by this frosted glass wall, I see my reflection and I really like how I have thick, shapely legs. I think when I develop some muscle, I will be really happy!
DECLUTTERING CHALLENGE: I worked on my purse area again yesterday: I put some of my purses in the fabric storage boxes I bought. Unfortunately, they weren't big enough for all of the purses.
Hi all. I went to my 8-month dietitian appointment yesterday, and it went really well: I am always weighed on this fancy biometric scale (InBody brand, see pic below) that tells us things like water levels, fat percentage, muscle percentage etc. It's much fancier than the home versions. Anyway, she said since my visit 2 months ago, I had gained 7 lbs of muscle and lost 24 lbs of body fat! This is fantastic, but even more so because before I started lifting two months ago, I was LOSING muscle! So, I stopped the losing muscle process and added muscle. I'm super happy about that. I went to the gym last night. It was incredibly hot in there, it was busy, and I had a headache, but I did my new weightlifting routine. After that, it was off to Trader Joe's, and then I made my salad. I kind of took shortcuts when I made the salad because I was hot and tired, but it came out well. Today, I am going to the gym this morning, and then there are two communities that are banding together for a 97-house garage sale this morning. I'm hoping to find some Halloween or Christmas Village buildings and some books.
Tracked yesterday? YES!

good morning !
Life is never dull around here :-). I am camping with my family this weekend. Ty was supposed to stay with the breeder as my daughter to her, so she can't stay in the trailer with us. Sadly Shauna, the husband, had a stroke and is in hospital. Things are crazy at their house so staying there was not an option. We are just driving out early in the morning, taking part in the day and coming home to sleep. It is less than two hours away, so we're still able to take part in all the fun.
I weighed in a day early, I think tomorrow morning I might be too tired to remember. lol. It is 7 AM and I am just getting ready to pack up and hit the road. The dogs are having a ton of fun, this is Ty's first camping experience, She is pretty stoked about it!
hope everyone is having a great weekend!

@AustinRuadhain I’m so sorry to hear about the education and cat drama, hope things become more manageable with your scout’s troop too. I’m fascinated that science education is having issues, yikes! Oh no one of my cats was doing that when the other would go for nail trims or to the vet, I’m taking them together for everything now. That could help with Habibi, feeding them together and/or playing with wand or laser toys both like can help too. I get why you only took Piku overnight hope they settle down. Seems silly when they’re not gone that long and have known each other forever but Piku doesn’t smell like Habibi’s bestie! I like @micaroo4 ‘s advice on making them smell the same again.
@trooworld I forgot you figured out you were getting rebound headaches from Ibprofen, so glad you got to the bottom of that. Great job throwing away candy and working with those salt cravings! The Half Baked Harvest recipe sounds delicious! Way to go on being down two more pounds you’re doing so well! I love your “what do you love about your body right now” answer! Wow that’s an awesome amount of muscle to gain especially when losing fat, wtg! Enjoy the gym and garage sale that sounds like an awesome one.
@DrewsAnna Yikes hope the stress test was behind you fast and you were able to have some coffee! Surprising how much we depend on it to get going. Hope the results of the test are good.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you! Saw your comment to @baodell17724 I ’ve done that too where I go back for food in the trash! I remember as a teen trying to quit smoking so I threw my pack out the car window and an hour later I came back and was looking for it. Your lunch at the conference sounds delicious! Love the idea of using the conference as a motivator. Great job on 3 nights without snacking! Love you finding a way to enjoy the protein powder and getting some serious protein to start the day off! Your drinks look and sound amazing both teas sound delicious.
@laurelfit57 I’m so glad your phone dried out you must’ve been horrified to feel it in your pocket! It is real weird not having them sad how attached to them we’ve become. Logged your weigh in thank you. Have fun camping! Aw hope Ty enjoys her first camping trip!
@Veta2018 You like Hans (Han Solo) with the wand toy, he’s a sweetie if I make kissy noises to him he’ll put his nose on my lips, pretty funny. Nuts instead of chips are a great swap.
@micaroo4 Have a wonderful vacation! I’m on it don’t worry, my adoptions fell through for today so I’m catching up now and will be on top of logging weigh ins.
@Cornanda You’ll get the scale back down you got this!
@TeresaW2024 Thank you! I agree on half-and-half being better than creamers even the healthier ones. A pink Otterbox for $20 is a great score! I’ms o glad the EMS was able to help you get Joe to bed. Oh no I’m so sorry to hear that about the scammer, thank goodness you didn’t send the money! They’re hoping we’ll avoid any hassle by paying something. I had that happen I got a call and supposedly a package with my name was stopped at the border and an issue for my arrest was put out, I was getting so mad but was also worried because I was getting RetinA for my face in a not-so-good way from an international pharmacy which sure the heck isn’t worth a warrant! It breaks my heart to think of how you almost sent money to be able to stay with Joe. I hope you were able to work out and let off some steam!
@baodell17724 I’ve always been “all in” when trying something new and my SIL is the opposite believing you can take what helps you and leave the rest which was a great concept for me to learn from her. It sounds like the OA workbook is helpful and you can take some of it to put in your toolbox. I’m where you are right now too eating healthy food but too much to lose weight (grrr).
Hi gang! The head of the rescue wasn’t able to get the medical sheets ready so no adoptions today, pretty disappointed about it since I rushed and did all my bios and photo editing and made zucchini pumpkin muffins to share with everyone (they all bring food). I’m heading to the farmer’s market to get fruit then will come home and work out. Debating on taking the muffins anyway but I’m kind of mad. I don’t want to be eating them out of frustration though! They ARE up on Petfinder now thank goodness. Better get moving have a great Saturday.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Had the golf tournament yesterday, it was the first one in 20 years! Went well considering, was exhausting being in the sun all day. Was hard to not fall asleep before 8 pm that night and I want to take a nap today lol. Tomorrow going to a cycle/spin class. Haven’t done those in awhile. Maybe 5 ish years? Going to take it easy a friend invited me otherwise I’d probably not do it yet.
What do you love about your body right now?
What I love about my body is my face, especially my eyes and smile. Everything else is a work in progress.0 -
What do I love about my body right now?
Truthfully I don’t like any of it. I know being overweight for so long doesn’t help with the chest and belly area even though I’ve lost 91 pounds. But the overall look I’ve battled with most of my life. When I was 21 I was complimented for looking good for being in my 40’s. When I was 40 I started receiving senior citizen discounts. Now I’m heading to the latter part of my 50’s and I was told that I finally look my age. I’m not sure what that means.0 -
