Hi all, a quick check in from me! I am still at home from work sick. My covid test came back last night (negative, as expected!) and the doctor has me on antibiotics for a chest infection which is making me feel a lot better! I even managed to do some exercise this evening, nothing too intense but I needed to move lol. My eating has been ok this week and I’ve been keeping myself pretty well hydrated. My scale is down quite well so far this week so I hope that trend stays for weigh in tomorrow!

@trooworld
It's not a dumb question! Hummingbird bush is a plant that is native to this area (St Edward's Plateau, central Texas), but I am not sure that it lives other places. Attracting hummingbirds and feeding butterflies and wildlife are things that a lot of gardeners around here get excited about. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is not far away, and they have a great website that lets you choose native plants that attract hummingbirds by the light requirement for that part of your yard, etc. Their website is an amazing resource for info on native plants throughout the US.

Thank you for the CURRY-LIME CHICKEN SALAD recipe! I am going to try this on my health-conscious teenager!

@19shmoo69 I had to Google bacon congee. Looks really yummy! What do you think about using cauliflower rice for us who count those pesky carbs?

@AustinRuadhain That is a lot of yard work! We definitely need a pic of the finished masterpiece. Shhh don’t tell anyone but I gave up on that burpee challenge. I’m just NOT that young or in shape anymore.

@trooworld Thanks for the curry-lime chicken salad recipe. We all like curry so I think this could be a real hit.

@TwistedSassette I was thinking about you and glad you checked in with us. You just keep taking it easy and get yourself well. How are your son and husband doing?

@askewcr It is a beautiful day here in Georgia. Although this morning was cold enough that I had to wear a jacket but this afternoon the weather is perfect! Good idea to freeze the cake and cookies. Save them for something special and when you can share them with others.

@leonadixon I am sooo happy that your daughter graduated! I know you are a very proud mama!


Hi Team! Today was a busy day. I had my staff meeting this morning and then I stayed and cleaned both buildings so that I don’t have to go in tomorrow. It was a lot and my body is aching but I’m glad that I did it. My eating was good day and I’m hoping for a decent loss tomorrow but will have to see what the scale has to say about it.

50 Day Commitment: Day 13
1) Track Food and hit my macros (carbs under 30 grams total): Tracked it all and nailed my macros!
2) No snacking and no unplanned sugar indulgences: No sugar or snacks
3) Workout 6 days a week: Lots and lots of cleaning!
4) Fasting Hours (Goal is to 19+): 18 hrs. 33 min.
2021 Word: TRANSFORMATION

Today was a good day. I went to lunch with hubby and had a salad as compared to a burger and fries which I would have had in the past. I also went to visit with in-laws today. It was great spending time with family. Nothing like family. My eating was ok though I did have fried chicken for dinner. I stayed within my calories and it sure was good.
Tomorrow is a fresh new day. I plan to make it great. How about you all? :-)

@TwistedSassette I'm sorry you are still sick, I hope you feel better soon! It sounds like you are on the mend.

@askewcr Good move, putting the treats in the freezer! What a great NSV, ordering a salad instead of a burger!

@AustinRuadhain Those plants all look really colorful and pretty. I hope you attract them! That website looks super helpful for you. It was fun to look to see what plants are native to So Cal. Thanks for the link! The chicken salad was really good, at least to us, I hope the teenager likes it!

@leonadixon Congratulations to your daughter, you must be very proud (as you should be!)!

@TeresaW1020 You are welcome. I hope you like it! Congrats on the loss. You are so very close to that 85 lb mark!!!

Hi all. I continue to fight for my week: yesterday I worked out twice, in the morning I rode the bike and at about 3:00 p.m., I took a break from working to do a kickboxing video. If I don't lose this week, at least I know I tried hard.

50 Day Commitment: Day Two
1) Track every day using WW app ✅
2) Workout at least once a week (it's a start!) ✅
3) No unplanned sugar ✅

My phrase for the year: CHANGE HAPPENS

@trooworld I haven't tried Flavor Gods but I've been tempted, let me know what you think! I can recommend the spices from The Spice House and Penzeys, when I visit my aunt in WA we all go to the Penzey's store which is fun but I've noticed their prices have increased quite a bit so I'm replacing things with Trader Joe's and Costco for the most part. The Spice House will send flat packs which are less to ship so it's a decent deal. Kickboxing is so fun!

@TwistedSassette So glad to hear you're on the mend! Your ring looks like it fits to me, is it well enough to wear and not worry about your hand swelling? After I had to have that ring cut off my finger last year I'm scared to wear rings, that was an expensive ring!

@askewcr I hope you had a beautiful walk today.

@leonadixon Congratulations on your daughter's graduation! I hope the med changes go well.

@TeresaW1020 Hope the weigh in goes well, I'm glad you got everything done today.

@AustinRuadhain I don't know why I can't post pictures in the group from my phone but the closest Take a Plant stand near me was done by a nature teacher and she has a lot of tips on ways to attract hummingbirds and butterflies. My milkweed never germinated darnit!

Hey gang, had a long day, I had told the head of the food bank farm if he needed help watering to feel free to contact me and he did, he asked if I'd be willing to take twice a week and I said sure without thinking, I hope it's something I'll be able to stick with. There's three fields plus seedlings so it's twice a day two times a week to start with. I haven't wanted to commit to anything until I'm doing better but I should be fine with that. I contacted the nurse that's been helping me because I'm flared up from treatment and she wanted me to have more done if I went in for an extra visit than I could afford so I said no and some tense texts went back and forth. I'm basically bad enough to go to the hospital but trying to wait for my next appointment in the hopes it will help as she feels the steroids are making me worse over the long haul. It's frustrating that I can get medications covered to mask symptoms but not actual treatment that will help heal my body. I talked to an old friend for three hours on the phone, we hadn't talked for a few years and she's a friend from the neighborhood I grew up in, we're going to get together after I get my hair colored next week halfway between our houses. She used to babysit my childhood best friend and she's older, she's always been someone I look up to who is like a big sister to me. Another childhood friend is going to visit in a couple weeks so I need to get the house cleaned. The two things (aside of my family) that I've really wanted this last year was to be by a body of water and have a girl's night/weekend so it's finally happening! I'm helping wash and pack boxes for the food bank farm tomorrow so I'd better head to bed, I have some Chinese pressure points to hold and my night tea then I'm off to read for a bit and sleep.

Be the awesome Slimpossible you were born to be, woot woot!

Been struggling with a bit of "the vacation is over blues" this week plus some health issues my mother is having. Definitely time to stop eating my feelings and get back on track.

@trooworld - Uggh on your gain. I know you tried hard this week. Sometimes we just get one of those zingers.

@Katmary71 I admire your grit as usual- watering seedlings twice a day when not feeling well. You're inspiring.

Happy weekend all!
