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!

@DanielleHeitzenrater - your garden is amazing! Wow!

@bgame4 @infamouscandi @TeresaW1020 congrats on making it onto the leaderboard! Woot woot!

@vegan4lyfe2012 Congrats on the loss and congrats to your family on the wedding!

@DanielleHeitzenrater 7 months smoke-free is fabulous, congrats on that! That would be very hard to be around. I'm sorry that is the situation. Keep thinking of those health benefits! Wow, I love your garden! I'm jealous, I do NOT have a green thumb. In the beginning of spring, I planted begonias and they are all dried out and barely alive now lol. Your kitty is so cute, so is the turtle! And can I say I LOVE your porch? I have a thing for porches and sitting outside. Yours is awesome!

@infamouscandi Wow, great loss, congrats!

Hi all. Not much to report, I do have a migraine I got while cooking in a hot kitchen last night so that's no fun.

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

@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!

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

@teshea69 Oh no, I hope you feel better, take good care of yourself! Don't worry about catching up, just jump back in when you're up for it, glad you're able to be upright, that's headed in the right direction.

@Cornanda How is the job going? Sounds like you're getting in your exercise, way to go!

@vegan4lyfe2012 How did the dance go? Congratulations to them, they look so happy!

Hi everyone! Had a real busy day, got up and did my cardio then helped at the food bank farm. I bunched basil, cleaned onions, packed lettuce, then brought home 6 trays of seedlings and started more corn. He was going to get rid of basil seedlings, so I have 40 more basil plants stuck around my yard, he started laughing when I said he can't kill them because I did that with all the onion seedlings too though they aren't doing too well. I rushed to the farmer's market then had a telehealth call, took a nap, then read and spent time in the garden this evening. I'm watching Stranger Things so time to sign off, have a great Wednesday!

@digger61 I’m so very sorry for the loss of your grandson. ((((hugs))))

@vegan4lyfe2012 Congrats on a beautiful wedding!! The newlyweds look amazing and so happy!

@Katmary71 I can imagine you saving all those baby plants and giving them a good home. But what will do with all that basil!

@trooworld I hope you have a great visit with your best friend and that your headaches will disappear. My sister and I put hung a cabinet in the bathroom the other day and it was a struggle so I feel your pain!


Good morning! Where has the time gone! Work has been super busy with lots of different things. Home life is good. Joe has felt well these last few weeks, so I’m super thankful for that. My sister is fitting in very well. We started a 3000-piece puzzle and have been working on it in the afternoons. My diet has been going OK but not great. I really need to work on fasting longer and eating less. I do plan to get in a workout this morning before my crazy day gets started. Have a good day!
