Morning everyone
@theslightedgeforever - I have no specific plan at the moment - but I am moving or so my fitbit tells me. I am trying to get back to 10 steps per day. I will log it here everyday.
@trooworld - I am glad you are settling on doingmakeup. it is something for just you
@cbabie - I think you doing manual work around the church would count as gym work in a different way
Dentist - I have ended up with a root canal and will need 2 crowns - Partial way throught this I would have well and truly used my dental benefit up from the health fund, so next visit - It will cost me mega dollars. Looking how we can fund this, but I can not loose my teeth as they are the two front ones.
That's it for now

Trooworld. I really like this podcast. It’s called Your Health First He talks about all sorts of things and the latest research. I think chaos seems to be everyone’s normal these days So you have to find a plan that will keep you and your health up on top of your priority list.
Cbabie. So do you and Trooworld want me to bring out a nicer quote about trying?
Trishastime. Good for you on movement. That’s half the battle. Ouch on the dentist. I will get my implants this summer which will cost major bucks and I realized last night I wonder how strong these are. I’ve cracked two teeth and bit through and broke my custom mouth guard. Evidently I’m clenching, or so I’m told.
Ok today I tracked, was OP, exercised 20 min with Leslie Sansone. 6 glasses of water and onto tomorrow0 -
Morning, I have a busy day today, not sure I will make it to the gym. I had a Mary Kay meeting (internal) last night, it was good. I knew I was supposed to be there, even though everything in my life was making it so I wouldn't go. LOL Oh Fun I have the hiccups...I have a meeting at the church at 9:30 to go over the Carnival and make sure we are all on track, then I have to finish setting up the sanctuary for the Hunt...come home fix dinner for all the people in my house and then start filling eggs..LOL
@trooworld Great job on sticking to your regiment. I find when things are structured for me I do better. I will try to come home once I know I am in for the night and take off my make up. I actually fell asleep sitting up in bed this morning...tried to get up early and just kept sleeping with a coffee cup in my hand..that's when you know you are REALLY tired....didn't even spill the coffee.
@Trishastime I hate dental work...I always gag, no matter what. LOL Seems like we all have dental things going on.
@theslightedgeforever I had to laugh at your question about how strong is the implant...maybe you should just go for dentures...LOL you know it runs in our family. Kidding....
okay have to run go and get ready for my meeting...I hope you all have a GREAT day.

Morning everyone
Yesterday I was so tired, I went out and got takeway and of course alcohol followed. I havelogged it all in my the diary - ugh! Today is a new day, I have had a healthy breakfast and I am taking the dogs out for a 5km walk whilst cleaner is here before I come back and start working again. Easter starts tomorrow where hot cross buns and family lunches abound, so we need to be on top of my game.
steps yesterday 11,542
@trooworld - I am glad you came home to a healthy dinner and did not break after a stressful day (high five girl)
@theslightedgeforever - I will definitely check that podcast over the next few days and report back in.
How are you going on your healthy eating and exercise plan?
@cbabie - You are always busy I am not sure how you keep it up
Got to go cleaner is due

Trooworld. Good for you for sticking to your makeup habit. Plus you came home and made a healthy dinner. You are rocking this!
Cbabie. Priorities priorities. Where does your health come in at on busy days Dentures....I know someone in the family who only wears his when he goes out of the house. My mil dentures sit in the drawer We got them for her and she would take them out to eat and sleep which is 70% of her day so I just took them. I’m not going down that path.
Trishastime. Awesome on your steps. The good thing is that you logged your takeout and alcohol. Plus you started the new day with a healthy breakfast
So another good day. Logged everything; stayed within my calories; 30 min weights 8 glasses water

Morning everyone. Nice to wake up on Easter Morning to be told of the breach HERE. Busy changing passwords, as I have the same notification from GMAIL. Still it is better then not changing and someone accessing your accounts
Please change your passwords to any account that has a similar users name/password (trello/fitbit etc)
Have a great day

Trooworld. Hugs for the family situation. Now no more talk of gaining I’m someone who put on 12 lbs in about 4 months. It’s not that bad when you think a lb gained here and there. But it doesn’t stop. Then my clothes are tighter now. Plus I spent 4 months doing damage to my health and body. It’s like putting a frog in water and slowly turning up the heat The frog doesn’t realize he is slowly being cooked to death. So right now is the time that if you can’t focus on losing you focus on maintaining. You can still choose fruit and veggies over junk food. Hospital snacks are the worst. Bring some with you. While you are at the hospital go walk up and down some stairs. Even one flight is better than just sitting. So while you aren’t able to cook your healthy meals at home you will be fighting to just stay the same. The one day things will get back to normal
Trishastime Hmmmm. I’d better go check my Gmail. Hope you have a good Easter weekend
Fully tracked; stayed within calories; walked 28 min; 4.6 glasses water0 -
Hi trooworld
Busy over here - what is CoQ10? - really do hope it resolves your headache issues0 -
Trooworld. I went to a brunch on Saturday that lasted all day and then it’s been family time this weekend. My mom loved CoQ10. She believed it help cure her congestive heart failure. Who knows. My DH has osteoarthritis in his neck and it flares up at times and gives him headaches
Gemwolf nice to hear from you. I hope you and your family had a nice Easter.
Trishastime I know it’s some kind of supplement. My mom used to take it
I’m in the middle of a colonoscopy prep I’ll be glad when this is over Let’s hope they don’t make me repeat it again
Saturday over on cals Today under cals no exercise either day.0 -

Trooworld. Good job on your tracking. Hopefully next Easter all the family will be around the table. I hope to be thinner next Easter
Trishastime I hope I don’t have to repeat this procedure either. I’ve done my low fiber prep and today is all liquids. I’ll be starting to drink that yucky stuff soon. Then tomorrow is the big day At least I should lose some weight this week haha Good job on your weight loss
Guess I need to send out the hounds for cbabie0 -
Morning everyone
@theslightedgeforever - Best wishes for today - hope all goes okay
@trooworkd - I am glad you are looking after yourself - well done. They say you need to put your own oxygen mask on first before assisting others
Trish0 -
Trooworld. Good for you on being consistent on your makeup and now tracking is following. Way to work it! And no snacking. That’s huge.
Trishastime so have you been putting your own oxygen mass on first?
So procedure went well I think. They removed two polyps and had them sent off. My blood pressure went too high during the procedure though a couple of times
So back to eating normal tomorrow.

Trooworld that’s great you lost some weight. Just keep to your good habits.
Where’s the rest of our group
I stayed within calories No exercise exercise yet though. I’m still a bit lightheaded Hopefully this will pass soon0 -
morning everyone
@theslightedgeforever _ Finger crossed that the result come back showing nothing unusual
@trooworld - Congrats on your loss Sometimes life /convenience gets in our way. Best to go with it and get back on the wagon the next day. I am sure it will show in next weeks results
I have been very busy all week, yesterday I had the root canal finshed and 2 crowns prepped. I wa sin the chair for 2 hours and did not feel like doing much when I got home.
Should have the permanent crowns by Friday, in the meantime, I am not to bite anything hard
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend
Trish0 -
Trooworld. I’m much better now. sleep is so important. It’s really a part of self care. Is there a way to make your pasta dish lighter for next time? I do a lot of recipes by routine and never think how to change them. But lots of successful weight loss people always talk about this. The other alternative is to keep the recipe the same and just eat a smaller portion and add veggies and fruit on the side Sounds good in theory but so hard to do.
Trishastime I’m hoping for the same thing on those polyps. Good luck on your crowns. I’ll be doing my dental work this summer.
I stayed in calories today but went over yesterday. It was a busy grab and go day. I did too much grabbing. Lol.0 -
Trooworld. 8 is good number of points. Did you make it to the park?
I went over today. I was fine and then had crackers before I slept. I need to remember to check my diary before eating.0 -
Hi everyone
My temporary crown fell off yesterday, so it was back to the dentist again. I just canot wait until I get the permanent one as I can eat normally again. Bugger it just came off again whilst eating eggs as I typed this.
@trooworld - I have a fitbit and love it, you will love your smart watch too
@theslightedgeforever - I follow a receipe book set called "symply too good to be true" by Annette Syms. She has done all that hard work of swapping out ingredients. There is a whole range of things in the 7 books. Sunday night we had rissotto, last night drovers pie, tonight is park with orange and hazelnut sauce and Thursday is Moussaka. I just flick through them and pick out what I like and then work it into my daily allowance. Most recipes are around 350 cal per serve.
Must go an book another dentist appointment0 -
Trooworld that’s good you had a long walk. I had oats for breakfast this morning. I usually have them twice a week and then eggs twice and then 2 fruits, 1 T chia seeds, and 2 Oz cheese on the other three days. I reached out to cbabie I love my smartwatch I bet you will too
Trishastime ouch on the temp crown. He didn’t set it very well. I’m hoping I don’t crack any more teeth. Your recipe books sound interesting. What is drovers pie. Is that like shepherds pie? I just need to set down and plan it out but I keep procrastinating. So maybe do one recipe per day
Today I went over. Spaghetti. It gets me every time0 -
hello, hang my head....
I have been trying to figure out what to do about my eating, my health, my time management....all to no avail. I was exhausted after our Easter Carnival and decided to take a little hideaway from most of my normal activities. It really didn't work...I think today I feel more unorganized and out of kilter than before. So I am starting here today....
I went to the gym and the trainer worked out my arms and thighs and rear...I really don't want a big bum....I have always been flat and I liked it that way..my shoulder was so bad and then I found Essential oils that have really helped and I really only have to apply them once a day. I am so impatient with myself. I want everything to be normal now. I feel like I have not been normal in such a long time. So the week off was supposed to get ME back..not sure how that worked out..LOL
I just wanted to say that I appreciate that you sent the HOUND, my loving sister after me...she gave the mother look over the phone LOL
I miss you guys and I miss the support that I get from each of you. So I won't go into hiding, I will just face each day and do the very best that I can to make each day better than the day before.
@TrishasTime I am so sorry about your tooth and the book that you are using to get recipes sounds interesting. I have a family that doesn't like to try new things...they just like a piece of meat and veggies...they are not big on the cheap things..LOl
@trooworld What kind of watch are you getting? I need to use my fitbit to it's potential. I bought it for a reason and I need to use ALL the functionality of it.
Okay guys, I have to get into the shower and get ready for a conf call., but wanted to make sure I logged in today and poked my head in...Sorry for being gone so long...
Cbabie1 -
Trooworld. I keep saying that about technology and mammograms. I hear they have something new but not all clinics have it yet. That does sound like good weather. I need to work on my lunches now. Breakfast choices have become a habit
Cbabie. Glad to see you. So what would a normal day look like to you. Write it all out. What time are you waking up, and what time are you sleeping. Then what happens in between? Oooh I have a mother look? I’m so excited.
So I’m reading a good book right now called Mini Habits for Weightloss I read his other book Mini Habits. It was good.
Over food cals yesterday. I need to skip to the part in the book where he says how to not overeat0 -
Morning everyone
@theslightedgeforever - Drovers pie is made with lamb mince, zucchini, carrot, peas so yes similar to shepherds pie which in OZ is made with beef mince. Let us know what you think of the book please
@trooworld _ Hope that headache stays minimal, great that you have petracked for the day. I can feel your excitment over the new smart watch -- willgoogle it
@cbabie - Glad to see you back
Not having a great time over here, feel as if I have walked under a ladder. First it is the teeth, then I blew up the dishwasher trying to fix it, now the tooth that had the root canal has snapped in half before the permanent crown was on - sigh. I must go out the back to see if we have am money tree growing
Have a great day everyone0 -
Trooworld. Good for you for pretracking. I know that really works. The question is why don’t I do that anymore. How’s your head.
Trishastime when it rains.....it’s time like those I tell myself at least I’m not dying of cancer. I think my whole life I’ve always imagined what could be worse to get me through the bad times. Hopefully good karma coming your way. Oh and I love lamb so I bet that would be good.

Morning all...sorry spent all day in bed...couldn't make myself get up.
I tracked day before and was over...today is another shot at it.
@TrishasTime Yea I know the feeling...my glass top stove cracked, my drivers side window quit working (it's held up by 2 tools of my DH...no air condintioning..we are up in the 90's now. I could go on but you get the picture....so I think we are both ready for a new season..LOL
@trooworld I will look that watch up..sounds interesting. Fast food is a killer...but sometimes it wins out over time. LOL
@theslightedgeforever yes you have the mother look...
Cbabie0 -
Trooworld. So can you have two choices at home ready to grab depending on your mood. Sweet or savory. What did u order by the way. You can make breakfast burritos or egg McMuffins at home and freeze them so they are ready to grab. Homemade oatmeal packets and a small thermos of hot water.
Cbabie. Were you at least productive in bed? Catch up on reading or anything?
This book I’m reading is really good. Talking about the way we eat based on results. In a nutshell it’s food that are processed makes us gain and non processed foods don’t. He talks about the science behind it. He talks about how we all get so caught up in counting points, calories, macros, etc. then talks about the money trail involved and the subsidies that our govt gives the farmer to grow wheat soybeans and corn. Then how all of that goes into what gets added to our foods and what we buy and eat. Which causes medical problems because our bodies weren’t made that way. So the drug companies and drs get richer off of us. Everyone gets richer off of us. All we get is broke sick and eventually die. Now I’m in part 2 where he talks all about the mini habits strategy0 -
You know I love my Trello board. Here’s a good video on meal planning. The thing I like the most is the Key which has time limits, cold or hot weather, etc. plus I love her grocery list idea too with checklists So simplified. It will be a work in progress while I get my recipes together. That’s just 7-8. I’ll start and focus with one. I already have a lot on Pinterest and Instagram Then my idea was after a successful week, copy the list to a Meal Plan Archive board and keep adding til I have 3 months worth. I can do seasonal vegetables that way and then I can copy and rotate lists as needed. I won’t have to plan all the time after 3 months

Another one. This time about WW points plus vs smartpoints vs Freestyle. Interesting take on it

Morning..I was up all night long...couldn't sleep at all. My spirit was turning and things were going on I guess. When I am awake like that I just pray.
@theslightedgeforever can you just make the meal plan and copy it to me on Trello? LOL
@trooworld I never got the taste for raw food. I was talking to someone the other day and even my veggies have to be cooked..LOL

Morning everyone
It is the weekend here. My tenants moved out of our rental yesterday and have left a mess, so we are going up there today to wash walls, clean blinds, stoves etc. Hubby is going to repaint the laundry. When I get home - I will need to log into work at 8am as we are updating the system.
@theslightedgeforever - Glad you are liking the book
@trooworld - Hope you have a lovely dinner and I agree there is little point eating something that you are not enjoying
@cbabie - Hop you can catch some slepp soon
