@vegan4lyfe2012 Ugghhh so sorry that you had a bad day with Hunter but happy to read that she calmed down and that you had a good lunch at Chilis.

@Katmary71 Yikes on trying to wean off the sleeping pill. Do you have an alternative pill you plan to take? I’m a big melatonin and Tylenol PM girl. So sorry that you have to have your muscle tissue fixed. I pray that it won’t cause you a bunch of pain but glad that the dentist will fix it at no cost. I hope you have a good time working at the charity booth.

@trooworld Thanks for the article by Gary Miller on The Joy Choice. I have bookmarked it and might have to buy that book! I hope you enjoy those tacos!


Hi Team! Not much going on today. I did some housework and a good workout this morning that left my quads crying. Yesterday, I had lunch with our outreach coordinator for the church. She is the most precious of young women that I have ever met, and she dropped the bomb that she is stepping down from being on staff. She had actually made her decision before my pastor left, but he talked her into staying a while longer. I’m so sad that so much is changing but I’m really trying to stay hopeful that all will turn out well in the end. I just better not lose anyone else!

Happy Saturday Slims!

Well, the 7 went back in my weight for a day or two this week. I liked your post about habits @trooworld . I feel a bit out of control, but I see now that some of it is due to the reasons in the article. My exercise routine has been terribly disrupted and I've been eating "just because" But every day is a new day to start again and keep trying to do my best.

Still not sure about the job- doing a lot of training and getting up to speed right now. Will not really know what it all entails until August at earliest. I think it will be a good fit for me, but not sure yet. I don't see my routine being settled until Aug either.

I've been keeping up with your posts and think of you often!

Happy Sunday Slims!

Walked 4 miles yesterday. It sure felt good. Missed too many walks in the past few weeks. Eating was OK, but still being a bit rebellious on the snacking. My daughter will be home for a visit the next few days- looking forward to that.

@digger61 - My sympathy to you and your family. That's a tough one.

@Katmary71 - sounds like you had a fun Saturday. Enjoy your family dinner!

@trooworld thank you so much for the encouraging feed back I need to get back to my exercise routine in the morning that is what I am going to do. I have been 7 months smoke free and it is hard to go camping with people who smoke in your face and have no consideration it makes me feel blah and sometimes makes me want to have one but I just keep thinking of all the health benefits it has given me!

sorry for the photo dump this is my main garden and some of my flowers and front porch I also have a smaller garden with cucumbers, zucchini, pumpkins and watermelon.. I love having fresh food!! The first pic is by my flower bed there was a box turtle that laid eggs in my yard it was so cool to see up close and sometimes I sit on my porch and watch the deer come up to my fence around my garden

@DanielleHeitzenrater - I enjoyed your photo dump! Thanks for sharing the garden with us 💐🐞

@Katmary71 I love gardening it is honestly one of the best feelings and when I pick the food I know it is healthy and tastes so good I love cleaning, cooking and baking as well I also do crafts and make wreaths!!

Wow! You have a beautiful piece of property! I love gardening too. I clean a lot (can't say I love it...)but I do enjoy decorating my home just by moving stuff around until it looks right and bringing in flowers from the garden.

I brushed my teeth with minty toothpaste everytime I wanted a smoke. Said thanks prayer at night. Been 30+ years free from 3 packs a day.

@Cornanda Thank you! Have fun with your daughter.

@digger61 I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your grandson.

@trooworld Good luck getting the condo ready, I'm sure it will be awesome to have your best friend there.

@DanielleHeitzenrater I agree with you, there's something about cooking and feeding people with food you've grown that is so satisfying. Wow you sound like you have a lot of talent! I'd love to see your craft and wreaths some time. Beautiful cabbage! You have a huge veggie area, that's amazing and it all looks so healthy! Your yard is just beautiful. I'm glad you showed us everything, love seeing it and I love your enthusiasm, I'm a semi-new gardener and still get excited about it all! I started with herbs about 10-15 years ago and my dad was going to toss a tomato plant and I felt bad for it and took it even though at that point I wasn't really into tomatoes until I grew and tasted my own. I was wondering if that was a pet turtle, how neat to have it in your yard. Beautiful kitty too, I wish mine could go in the yard but there's coyotes around here, Jasper loves smelling everything when I come in though. Your porch is perfect to read on after a long day in the yard!

@infamouscandi @bgame4 @TeresaW1020 Way to go team, great losses!


@lindaprofota Hi Linda, I'm happy to hear you're starting to live again, sounds like you're headed in the right direction. I'm sure your daughter and your puppies bring you a lot of joy too.

Hi everyone, had my last day of physical therapy today, I'm going to miss it and I loved my therapist but she's going to a new job next week so no reason to stick around plus she's given me a lot to do on my own and when I go back to the gym. Did my cardio before it and she worked me out for an extra 15 minutes so I came home pretty beat. Dinner last night was nice, no issues aside of leaving my phone there and having to go back. I'm doing the rainbow challenge still on my feed with some people, a new recipe a week, then a dance challenge so I'm definitely maxed out on them! I'll go peek at the challenge going on now in here and see if it's something I can do. Have a great Tuesday everyone, tomorrow's the food bank farm where I'm going to bring home the seedlings so I don't have to go there W-F and just take care of them here plus volunteer hours.

@lindaprofota - that's great that you are starting to live again. That is a really hard life change to go through.

@teshea69 - glad you are feeling better and able to be upright.

@trooworld - hope your migraine is gone now

@Katmary71 - Glad therapy went well and you are ready for the gym. What are you talking about that you're semi new to gardening? You seem like a master to me!

NSV for Monday:

Tried to get up early to get a walk in, but I seem to be challenged setting my phone alarm lately- Fail.
Did walk after work and did a short cardio workout
Figured out that I could sneak in a weight workout at lunch since I can eat at my desk after my break- will try that later this week.

Have a good Tuesday!

Lisa
