I was running around like a crazy lady today and didn't get to the required exercises. Sry. My punishment is to make myself do them today in addition to the others
I'm sure I won't like that so it will be a reminder to NOT skip an exercise again

:flowerforyou: Ladies, please report any/all fruits and veggies, even if you don't hit 5 for the day. Your number is cumulative for the week. So today may only be one or two servings, but tomorrow you might eat 8, so it would even out. Every serving counts for the team! :flowerforyou:0 -

I just realized that I missed a bunch of our posts. Jackie, thank you for the list of f/v servings. That is helpful. I do disagree with what they say about potatoes too. That has got to be the world's most maligned veggie.

Hello everyone!
Sorry for being MIA, but my in-laws bathroom backed up and flooded their downstairs. When the insurance people came out, they said there was asbestos in the floors that need to be pulled up!
