so far we really like it. Tonight's dinner was superb.
Fresh caught Alaskan tuna steaks 7 minutes seasoned with Bill's seasoning
Baked asparagus
Baked russet potato (my splurge) she did a sweet potato
We are pretty plain and don't normally eat fancy stuff like this

Everybody keep a positive attitude and stay strong, we got this !!

@trooworld - Great day yesterday! I hope today went well!
I went on an outdoor walk today. I feel so lucky. Outside walks for exercise are allowed here, as long as we adhere to social distancing requirements. With so little pedestrian or car traffic, it was easy enough to cross the street or walk/run in the street the few times I saw other people. We just waved and wished each other well from at least 10 feet away. The weather here was lovely. Being in sunlight was wonderful. I saw a little yellow butterfly like this, and came home and looked it up to see if I could figure out its name (think it was "Little Yellow," Pyrisitia lisa).


@its_cleo - I am SO sorry to hear about your injury, and glad you are taking care of yourself. 👐

@TeresaW1020 - How did your closet decluttering go? That sounded useful but like it could be sobering!
Yes, I suppose I should go put on something besides yoga pants or jammies occasionally. (Can I order a stretchy Star Trek uniform kinda thing?

@mrmcgrath - Have we mentioned how nice it is to have you back? Seeing your smile in this Slimpossibles feed is just so great!

@Cbabie - Thanks for checking in! Big hugs for that fussy baby. I hope you are getting some good sleep in the midst of all that mama-ing! 👐

@Jactop - Great work holding steady this week! 👍🏽

@Cornanda - That's pretty close to holding steady, too! Hang in there! 👍🏽

@gunderw59 - A big wow to your workout AND your gourmet healthy dinner! 🔥

@jugar - Thanks for helping with weigh-ins!

P.S. The most fun I had all day may have been laughing like a lunatic after heading to YouTube, searching for "Bollywood Zumba Workout for Beginners." Super fun, and I was super terrible!

@cbabie Great job working out!

@gunderw59 Sounds like a great meal! I've been wanting an air fryer but don't have that much room, I'd love one of the ones that's a toaster oven. I was torn between that and a Fitbit a couple months ago and the Fitbit was $50 off so it won. I'm interested in hearing what you like to make in it! Great workout! Do you have a box? I normally lift weights at the gym, I used my couch today for a box, felt weird to be standing on the couch in my workout shoes.

@AustinRuadhain Sounds like an amazing time outside. Today was my first day outside in awhile and I didn't realize how much I needed it. The workout video sounds like fun, you should post it! You know me, I'll give it a go though I'm sure I'm awful at it too!

@Katmary71, I think that it is so awesome that you got out and rode your bike! And I’m sure people didn’t think you looked like an idiot at all. I bet your brought smiles to people's faces who saw you having so much fun.

@AustinRuadhain, I got about halfway through my closet and what I learned is that I NEED to stop eating so much!! I am motivated! And yes, I’m sure you would look stunning a stretchy Star Trek uniform. Do post a pic! Bollywood Zumba sounds like something I need to see!

@gunderw59, good day and workout! Your dinner sounds amazing!!

Good morning! The sun is shining and it’s going to be a beautiful day. After lunch today, I’m taking my DH, mom, and dog for a long car ride to enjoy the spring weather and see the azaleas in full bloom. My poor mom hasn’t been out of the house in over three weeks. My scale was a bit up this morning. Since moving mom in, I haven’t quite mastered cooking for an extra person and we are all eating too big of portions. I am going to really work on that and my afternoon snacking. I did have a good workout and will have another one this morning. Have a great day and stay safe!

Yesterday was a decent day overall. My steps were low due to pain levels being escalated but I did manage enjoy the sunshine once I got off work. So far today, I am feeling much better. My plans are to get a strength training routine in.

@AustinRuadhain I like how you do both meditation and breathing exercises. This is definitely going on my goal list for April!

@AustinRuadhain, that Zumba looks super fun! I just might have to give it a try. I did one Zumba class a few years ago and I was terrible!!!

@trooworld, great job at meeting your goals!! I often watch Biggest Loser when I’m walking on my treadmill. Very motivating.

@leondixon, look at you and your awesome weigh-in!! Doing the happy dance (or is it happy Zumba dance) with you!

Wednesday check in: I did well today! Tracked all my points, worked out, went for a nice drive with my DH and mom, cleaned some house, and did some church work. Tomorrow, I am going to a staff meeting (where we keep our distance) and will work in the office for awhile doing some beginning of the month stuff. OK, I gotta go. My church is having their first Zoom Bible class in 20 minutes. Praying it works!!

My brain is fried today, I've burned two things, starting doing arm weights and realized it was Tuesday so switched to a legs workout and 5 minutes in realized it's Wednesday and that's an arm day. I usually feed the cats when I eat and spaced that until making my popcorn after dinner. On a good note I've gone over a month without opening the macadamian dark chocolates my parents brought me from Hawaii, that's 29 days longer than they'd normally last. I had a serving today and actually took a bite, savored it, took another, waited 5 minutes, etc. and let the second sit 15 minutes before eating it. I think something's wrong with me, normally I would've eaten one within 15 seconds and been on the second by then, and would be thinking of which bowl I'd put the rest of the box in and whether or not the box could be recycled when I ate it all within 5 minutes. They're really good and I haven't had more. I haven't been overeating with all the stress right now either, even with my usual meals thrown off because of being out of most produce. This isn't like me at all. Oops, just remembered I have potatoes in the Instant Pot, at least I remembered before they sat all night!
