    @cmhubbard92 this cracked me up :D

    @DaffyGirl88 I'm glad :) I know I've been away for a while, not really with it, but I'm trying to make my way back!

    I'm still dealing with my covid symptoms so I haven't started to exercise yet. I hope to commit to MUAC next month.

    Thank you for checking in Sue! I’m a little overwhelmed with my new position at work, but IT IS a promotion; so mo' money = mo' problems! = "Work-Krystal" will work thru the pain and have to get over it!

    I am happy to be able to escape on the weekends, and so I tried my first Painting with a Twist Party. I didn’t think I’d like it because I’m SO not artistic, but it was really fun! I think my sangria and the blaring of all the greatest hit songs of all time brought the artist right out of me!! :)

    You did great! I have always wanted to do one of those classes!

    Comments: Had my 6-month check-up and my bloodwork was actually very good! I’m still pre-diabetic but less so! I need to drink more water also, but I was down 12 pounds from November 🎉

    @susanshaughnessy80 That is great news!! You've been doing great and it's definitely having a positive impact on your health. That's what it's all about. As I'm nearing retirement and reading / hearing that healthcare costs take up more than 1/3 or your income my goal is to stay healthy and active as long as possible. Who wants to spend their money on healthcare? I want to spend mine on travel and spoiling the grand kids!!

    @DaffyGirl88, Thanks so much! I’m a work in progress, and it is encouraging to see improvements in my health! I appreciate you and this team!

    So my plantar fasciitis / heel spur have been acting up. :( I haven't been walking 🚶‍♀️the last few days in an attempt to give it a break (and not need another cortisone shot 💉🥺). My calorie burn is taking a huge hit. 😞

    @DaffyGirl88 I seem to recall you saying you eat chicken and salad every day for lunch. What kind of dressing do you use?

    Does anyone else have serious digestive issues with certain veggies? Like really bad all over abdominal pain and cramping for hours/days?

    @brandi_84 EVOO and red wine vinegar, sometimes I'll use a flavored vinegar. I had a pomegranate one that I loved but they don't make it anymore. 😕

    Comments: Lack of sleep caught up with me Thursday, and I did almost nothing all day. Doing better today, but too much restaurant food this week is adding up. I will do better after Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms 💕

    @DaffyGirl88

    I stopped tracking for a couple weeks because I had to reorganize the kitchen for healthy eating ‘consistently’ and a new lifestyle. Pretty much finished. Have to get in the habit of counting macros for a ketogenic diet. I haven’t calculated any recipes yet, but Ill weigh in this Sunday. I may not track diet well until the following week because won’t to calculate meals before tracking.

    @BlissfulK no problem, tracking and posting here is optional. The only mandatory thing to be part of the group is weekly weigh ins.

    Only a small percentage of us do daily postings. For some of us it helps to keep us mindful, even if we're posting "no" across the board. 😊 You are welcome to post as much or as little as you like. You do you baby! 🥰

    I literally woke up with indigestion and now it’s 10:30a and I still feel full and bloated☹️ Seems like a good day for a water fast! Honestly, I should be able to skip multiple days of eating considering the mountain of food I’ve been consuming the past two days!
    Just shameful!
    Positive note: At least I painfully logged it all!!😓

    This was a tough week for me. Too much left over birthday cake and then staying with friends for the weekend. Good news is that I'm still keeping up with exercise.

    I’m honestly surprised I have lost 2 lbs this week. I haven’t been really good at tracking food or exercising. But I think I am eating pretty healthy regardless.

    @Krysless2 last week @prehistoricmoongodess asked to roll her weight over as she's traveling this week.

    I'm thinking with the confusion at the beginning of the week the others may not even know where to post their weight. 🤷‍♀️
