@Cornanda Thank you! I like your outlook. It's very healthy. Congrats on a great week and doing well with your challenge goals!

@judiasverdes I am older, 53, but I am not a mom. I don't actually find it that hard to lose when I'm actually doing what I need to do, my problem is being non-compliant with weight loss plans lol. Maybe some of the moms can chime in to answer your question. Sorry for the gain.

@GabiV125 Oh gosh, that sucks! I'm sorry about the poison ivy. I haven't had that since I was a kid. I remember it being itchy.

@davidji82 @davors19 @Cornanda Congrats on the losses!

@LeahIsALoser Congrats on the loss! Thank you! No worries about not chatting much. I'm glad you were able to have a loss.

Hi all! Happy Friday! I am off today and we are going to the zoo so it should be fun.

30-Days to Summer Challenge (May 21-June 21) commitments for yesterday:
Work out - X
Drink at least 60 oz of water each day - X
Log at least 2 meals each day - X

My phrase for the year: "Something needs to change…so I will take no crap and eat no crap!"

@laurelfit57 that is so crazy that they are very sketchy with other men I will have to try the treat thing! your pups are so cute! I love dogs and cats well I guess all animals except reptiles I am good without them lol they terrify me haha! The fed ex guy drives past and throws a bone in the yard for Ruger almost everyday its like he knows what time and he is outside waiting haha! He is ok as long as he does not come near him hahah!

@LeahIsALoser that is still great good job!! I feel ya there I wish I was 146 too that is my goal weight as I know it will be a while to hit that slow and steady!!

@trooworld Way to go on staying away from the cafe! Have fun at the zoo!

@Cornanda I think that's a great way to look at it, no matter how much you got done you got done more than you would have otherwise and a great week of eating and exercise is awesome!

@judiasverdes It could be both getting older and moving less being a mom or any other number of things. In general I don't usually lose if I'm sick or have more inflammation unless it's like the stomach flu. Yes it was definitely easier to keep weight off in my 20s!

@GabiV125 Oh no, so sorry to hear about the poison ivy, that's awful stuff!

@LeahIsALoser Hope the training is going well, yeah you probably want major downtime when you get home to decompress. Glad you're headed in the right direction again, those increases can be really frustrating.

#DanielleHeitzenrater You're headed in the right direction but I know it can be really frustrating. With snacking it's hard to cut back too because the routine makes you crave it more kind of like having coffee in the morning. If you ever get any good shots of the cats in the garden I'd love to see them! I'm trying to get Jasper on the leash again, he was doing so well until I took him in the car. Asher I tried it on him and he licked half the hair off the lower body the next week so never again, I felt terrible! There's coyotes here so I don't let them out.

Hi everyone, time for the weekend! I had way too much citrus and my gums went nuts yesterday, one of the possible risks with CRPS and surgeries is it can spread so I freaked myself out that it was that but I was drinking blood orange tea plus lemon water and tomato sauce like an idiot. I treated it with my micro current a bunch of times and today is better. Did my workout, got my dad a succulent at Trader Joe's, watered at the food bank farm, then have been taking it easy ever since. Tomorrow's the farm and I need to take Asher in to get his nails trimmed which means he'll be scared of me for a month. Have a great Saturday team!

@Cornanda thanks for the prayers and hugs! Have you started your new job? I’m sure it will be an adjustment, but you will find your groove. Yayy on your loss this week!

@DanielleHeitzenrater your dog is too cute sitting in his rocking chair!

@trooworld Glad you were able to get the Tonal working right again. I assume you have good tech support for it if needed?


Hi Team! Well, this week has been a crazy one! Joe ended up back in the hospital on Thursday because the antibiotic they put him on wasn’t working. So, they gave him a much stronger med and we came home yesterday afternoon. In the meantime, my sister’s life imploded on Wednesday, and she needed to move out of her daughter’s home ASAP and has nowhere to go. So, Joe and I talked and said she can come to live here. I actually think it might be a good thing because I could really use the help around here with Joe and eventually with my mom. So, I had to clean out the room my sister will use, which had a huge treadmill in it that had to be taken apart. I gave it to a dear friend and her husband made it happen at 10:30 pm last night. The room also housed all my Christmas decorations, so I rearranged the garage in this awful heat and got all that put away plus some things getting donated to Goodwill. I’m worn out and my sister will be here this evening and we will have to unload her U-Haul full of who knows what! One of my friends asked how I was holding up and I told her that I’m not stopping to even think about it. I’m just in go mode.

@broncobuddee, please move me to support until further notice. I can’t even deal with weigh-ins right now. Thank you!

@trooworld So sorry to hear about your knee, I hope the Ibprofen helps. Have fun with your friend and your husband's birthday celebration! Daisy looks adorable!

@chd4ever Congratulations on kicking the 240s to the curb!

@TeresaW1020 Your sister coming to stay with you and Joe may be just what you two need, I hope it's a good fit! It's very kind of you to take her in so fast, I really hope this works out.

Quiet day, hope everyone is doing fun things and all is going well! I had a busy day, I worked out, went to the farm and spent most the time doing basil bunches then took my buddy from there to the bank and home, went to the farmer's market to get banana mint and picked a few extra things for me and my SIL, stopped at their house, took Asher to get his nails trimmed (took a few hours to catch the stinker), then gave my brother a ride to pick up his car. I went from being the green salad maker for family events to always making Skinnytaste Greek pasta salad, I made that tonight too then spent two hours collecting seeds from flowers to save for next year and took a bath. Tomorrow's Father's Day at my parent's house, my brother was hoping he'd be doing better than he is but he's headed in the right direction, it will still be hard for him to get to my folk's house as it's 30 minutes away so hopefully it will go well. Night gang, have a great Sunday and Father's Day!
