This week has been rough I still have lost but have been so busy and yesterday I lost my fitbit I don't go anywhere without it hopefully I find it. Plus trying to stay around the house and do things with kids because the gas price is 5.09 it is crazy!! I have 2 big gardens and tons of flowers to take care of so that keeps me busy and taking the puppy for a walk I am trying to socialize him but he gets car sick and is kinda scared of males for some reason he loves my son and husband but other males he is very unsure of. we have never hit him or done anything like that we got him when he was 13 weeks old and he will be 11 months on the 18 of June.

Later night eating this last week. We have had a spike in covid pts and it has been busier. I have worked extra hours and have been slack on my meal prep. Looking forward to normal schedule next week and hoping to have better loss.1 -
Hi everyone, wanted to just jump in and say I'm doing well, just a little tired from the anti inflammatory. I can't talk much which is annoying and it hurts to eat but I'm on the other side. The surgeon said I may need a second surgery but I'm hoping not, meanwhile I'm trying to do everything right so nothing goes wrong. Not singing when I work out is hard! I talk to my cats way more than I think too. It hurt more right after but now it's only a pain when I'm eating or if I smile which I'm not supposed to do. Still worked out today but after running into people at the food bank farm watering this morning I'm going to skip volunteering because it's too hard to stay quiet when people are asking questions. All my challenges and summer challenge is done for the day.
Have a great Saturday!0 -
@Katmary71 Wishing you speedy healing!0

@Katmary71 - Me too! Speedy healing to you! Hope you'll be singing again in no time!0

@davors19 Congrats on the loss!
@micaroo4 Your salad sounds delicious! Enjoy your vacation.
@Cornanda Is that a cayman? Cool picture!
@gwamajtw91 Congrats on the loss! I hope you enjoy the weekend with your son.
@DanielleHeitzenrater Congrats on the loss! Oh no, I hope you find your Fitbit, I'm lost without mine too. I almost don't want to move if it isn't counting my steps lol. Girl, we are paying $6.09 in CA! I hate it. Hopefully your pup grows out of that.
@CHDH4EVER Congrats on the loss!
@Katmary71 I hope you don't need a second surgery. Have a great day!
@rosemake The scale is going in the right direction!
Hi all. I was a little disappointed by the scale because I've done all of the right things. But I know the drill: you can't control the scale, only your actions. So, I'll keep on keepin' on! Have a great Saturday!

@trooworld Hopefully the loss will show up soon, I have that happen where I'm doing everything right but the scale doesn't move or goes up for awhile, it's very frustrating. I was doing good losing then didn't weigh for a month and gained 3lbs, today I'm down 4lbs so I basically went way up then down lower which makes no sense. You got this my friend!
@DanielleHeitzenrater So glad you found your Fitbit! That's funny about your puppy wanting to stay at the beach!
Hey everyone! I worked out and went to the farmer's market to the plant stand because I lost a pepper and brought home 4, oops! I got them all in, I watched a video that it's good to plant two per container and I have big grow bags so I'm going to try it. Stopped at my brother's to pick up apricots from my parent's tree they picked the other day and dropped off cherries and came home and spent the rest of the day trying to save plants with this 105 yesterday and 100 today heat. A few tomatoes and one of my artichokes are having issues so I have to keep an eye on them. Not much else going on, tomorrow's my workout then I'm going to my brother's so he can fix my gas door hinge, I'm lucky he's willing to do it with not feeling well. Have a great Sunday gang!
@Cornanda How are your gingers doing? One of the plants at the plant stand was a ginger mint but it didn't smell that exciting so I skipped it.0 -

@trooworld - I think it's just a regular alligator because this is Florida!
@Katmary71 - my gingers are doing great! Do ginger and mint go together? I'm thinking no. We grow ours for looks not for eats though. I don't think they will bloom this year, but if they do, I will post a pic.

@DanielleHeitzenrater Oh I'm glad you found your Fitbit! Yeah gas went up since I posted, it's now 6.29 at the cheapest. Crazy! CA is so high because of all the taxes on gas.
Oh the poor pup was having such a fun time, huh? Wow, he is a big boy! Is he a shepherd?
@Katmary71 It is! I will measure myself today to see if there have been any changes. I last measured myself at the end of May. Congrats on the loss! Yeah the scale makes no sense. Thanks. My begonias looked whithered, I wonder if it is because of the heat? I hope you enjoy the visit with your brother.
@micaroo4 Great maintenance weigh-in!
@Cornanda Oh okay. It looked exotic lol. Have a good day!
Hi all. How's your summer challenge going? I'm happy with my progress. Today, my husband and I are going to the zoo. It's supposed to be hot so we may regret it but it should be fun and good exercise as there are a lot of hills at the zoo. I made Thai food last night, Tom Kha soup and fresh spring rolls. It was delicious but a lot of work!

@katmary71 gas here is about $7.40/gal and we have it good because our provincial government is giving us a break in gas tax. Where my brother lives in BC gas is around $10/gal. This is all so stressful!! Wow! Good for you for doing all that after your surgery! Big hugs for a speedy recovery❤️
@Cornanda sounds like you had such a great time with your daughter! We really have to take it vantage of those times when we can❤️. I really should try that healthy minds app, I have tried several times to meditate, never with any success. Is that a baby alligator?
@trooworld you are really rocking your Tonal! 50,000 pounds lifted is huge! Good for you for all of the NSV‘s! You are really rocking this! The scale can be the weirdest thing, sometimes when I think I should have good loss, there is nothing other times when I am sure I have gained, there is a loss. Sometimes that dang scale just has a mind of its own! You’ve got this and it will be great next week :-).
@TeresaW1020 I am glad that you are facing Joe’s health head on. No matter how hard news is, if you know what the problem is, you can make a plan. I’m so sorry that you are having to deal with this ❤️.
@micaroo4 that salad that you made for your first day of vacation sounds like it was delicious! It sounds like you are going to have an amazing vacation.
@DanielleHeitzenrater My pup is exactly the same with some strange men, she loves my son and my brothers certain strange man she starts off barking. I always have treats in my pockets and as soon as a man is getting close to us I make sure that Vannie is aware that I am putting my hand in my pocket, then she is more interested in the treat than the man lol. Glad you found your Fitbit, I know I am lost without mine :-).
It has been a strange week, but I have been able to stay on track. I am going to get serious this week as I am at the top of my range and really not comfortable here. I think I will drop back to 1300 cal for the next week or two to get back into the middle of my range. I have got a couple of things this week where there will be quite a bit of food involved, so I will just have to plan accordingly. I wasn’t able to get to the gym except once last week, that really makes a difference for me. On Thursday when I usually do two classes at the gym, I had to bring Vannie to the chiropractor🥰. Can you believe there are chiropractors for dogs, never heard of such a thing before, but it is working! Vannie has had a chronic problem that the vet thought was in her back left patella since I brought her home at 10 weeks, her trainer asked me about it a couple of weeks ago how she kicks her back leg out at times so I told her what the vet said. She asked me if I had ever had her to a chiropractor to get it checked out. So yes, I am now that person who takes their dog to a chiropractor :-). Vannie is getting fixed up, so that makes me very happy! My cousin’s dog Louie came to stay for the weekend, the first night he laid in my room and whined until 1 a.m. I thought maybe he wanted my bedroom door open, so he came out and slept in the loft. At 5 AM Paisley came to my bed and said grandma Louis is awake, I think he’s nocturnal he keeps scratching at my door🤣. So I took him outside and all he wanted to do was try to catch squirrels and birds, had no interest going to the bathroom😜. The second night I made sure all the bedroom doors were opened and he was just fine, was quiet until 5 AM at which time he whined, I said “Louie be quiet go back to sleep” and he did until 7 AM L0L. He is a country dog in the city. He and Vannie had a great time playing all weekend long!. I was able to get to a spin class this morning and I’m definitely going to get to the gym three days this week!

@Cornanda Wonderful about your gingers! I've made tea from mint, ginger, and cinnamon sticks, it is actually really good!
@trooworld Good luck with the measurements! It could be because of the heat your begonias are looking rough, everything in my yard looked better today. Have fun at the zoo!
@infamouscandi @LeahIsaLoser @tupsundus Congratulations!
@Laurelfit57 Wow your gas is one of the worst I've heard! My friend's in New Zealand and it takes $150 American dollars to fill her tank, that's just nuts. Thank you for the hugs, I'm doing well, didn't realize how much I had done until I looked at it in the mirror, gross! So glad the chiropractor is helping Vannie. I think there's pet versions of everything, the holistic place I go to has a therapist there for pets and she does a lot of different things. What's wonderful is the chiropractor is helping Vannie more than a lot of other things might, I definitely think trying holistic treatments are worth it for humans and pets.
Hi gang! Man when I can eat normal again I'm getting a huge Costco bag of Stacy's Naked pita chips! I'm so tired of soup already! I ordered an immersion blender and made Panera's Autumn Harvest Soup, it's butternut squash, pumpkin, and carrot. It says optional cream so I didn't buy it but it definitely needs some dairy, it has low fat cream cheese but only a little so I added some nonfat Greek yogurt and it helped a lot. My brother fixed my gas door and I stopped at the store for a few things, rest of the day's been pretty mellow. The IB Profen is making me sleepy so I took a couple naps and started Pachinko, it's pretty good so far. Did a workout challenge this weekend and tomorrow's back to my regular routine. I went up to 8lb weights and my back didn't go out, let's see if I can get through my first second month without my back going out while going up in weights, it's been doing that every other month for 18 months now! Have a great Monday everyone!1 -
Sorry I haven't posted weight, I've been away on holiday.
I'm flying back today so I will post my weight tomorrow.
Not sure what it will be like - I've done loads of walking but also loads of eating

@infamouscandi @LeahIsALoser @tupsundus Congrats on making it onto the leaderboard, woot woot!
@laurelfit57 Great maintenance weigh-in! Thank you, I appreciate your support! I hadn't heard of doggy chiropractors, I've heard of doggie acupuncturists but not chiropractors. I hope it helps Vannie! Haha about Louis! Of course, who wouldn't want to catch squirrels and birds in the middle of the night? LOL Oh aren't they cuties? Does Vannie like having company?
@Katmary71 Thank you! I will give my begonias more water and see if that helps. I bet you are ready for some texture in your food. How much longer until you can eat regular food? I read Pachinko, I liked it. Have a great Monday yourself!
@krea4 I hope you had a nice vacation!
@infamouscandi Congrats on the loss, well done!
Hi all. I had a great day yesterday even though we didn't end up going to the zoo (we'll go on Friday instead). I was active, my DH made us a healthy breakfast of smoked salmon toast- https://www.umami.site/recipes/healthy-smoked-salmon-breakfast-toast/ I did meal prep and while I was in the kitchen, I found a 16-minute YouTube kitchen workout video-
https://youtu.be/-QcxWI_0Dhs I got a WW blue dot for staying within my healthy eating zone. And I measured myself and am down 12.42 inches all over since April 14th! It was marvelous!

@trooworld - Nice progress on the measuring! I like how you are finding these short youtube vids to work out here and there when you have time. That is a great way for a person who is allergic to exercise to sneak some in!
@laurelfit57 - yes, I definitely appreciate those special moments with my kiddos when they occur! Yes, it is a baby gator. I saw it plus 9 siblings and their Mom on a walk I went on. I've tried various ways to learn mediation and Healthy Minds has been the best one- give it a shot. I hope Vannie gets fixed up quick! Louis is so cute, if only he would settle down and sleep.
@Katmary71 - your soups sound delicious, but I can see how you might want a bit more variety- soon! Those pita chips will taste awesome when you're ready. Sounds like you are getting all your usual healthy routines done- good for you!
Today I go get my work badge. Not sure why I need one since I'm working from home. Maybe I'll lock myself out and have to show it to my husband to get back in the house? I start next Monday, I'm excited and a bit nervous. I'm going to try to get through my projects and cleaning during the week so that I can mostly relax next weekend. I'm trying to prepare by doing a month of menus, setting up a weight rack to help my workouts, and planning my daily routine so I don't skip exercise. I will also get in a big grocery shop and deep clean the house. Over the weekend I started sprucing up my office which is funny because I've worked in there for 10 years already, but I felt like it needed some freshening!
My Dad is being really stubborn about some stuff with my Mom and that has not been fun to deal with.
Have a great Monday!
Lisa

@TeresaW1020 – Does your hubby like beans? Because white beans are high in iron, too. Let me know if you are interested in my favorite recipes
@Cornanda – OMGoodness! That baby alligator is stinkin’ adorable!
@micaroo4 – What type of dressing do you use on your salad? Sounds yummy!
I have been going through all kinds of ups and downs lately. Terrible food choices that have led to feeling bad both mentally and physically. Why does junk food have to be so dang yummy?!?
On a fun note, though, Hunter and her boyfriend Michael dressed as Ellie Sattler and Alan Grant when we all went to see Jurassic World Dominion Friday night. They went as girlfriend/boyfriend and left as a cute little engaged couple!
NO ZERO DAYS!
