    It was the last week of my medical terminology class. Very exhausting week! My biggest opportunity this week was dinners. I work retail, so if I'm closing, I don't get home until after 730. I eat lunch around 330, so when I get home, I'm hungry. I need to do a big grocery haul this week to be better prepared and able to whip something up that's more nutritious for late dinners.

    NO ZERO wins for this past week:

    Well what happened here? There were a few not great days but this shouldn’t be right. I’ll see if it’s just an off day next week. Fingers crossed.

    @Cornanda Oh no, I hope everything bounces back from the freeze. I had blankets over my succulents and it was blown off, they're a hot mess now, I almost burst into tears as I was super excited to share cuttings with people for the garden club. I did manage to take a few clippings and took them in, I was happy to see someone walking around with one of them.

    @trooworld LOL forget the movie, we get snacks and popcorn right?! Honestly I love popcorn so it's pretty exciting for me to go, I was looking at the movies earlier. Yep time to harvest your herbs, they look amazing. I found an old Aerogarden seed mix when I cleaned out my closet, I only have a 3 pod old one and out of the 3 pack I bought a few months ago the dill didn't make it so I popped an old one in there, we'll see how it does. Dill and basil are both more picky outdoors so it's exciting they're doing so great in hydroponic systems. Have fun with your friend! I love that vase, it's beautiful! Your work looks professional, I bet you could sell your crafts. I love the kitty wine glasses and the pug graphics!

    @micaroo4 Oh no, I hope you get over it fast, prayers for a quick recovery for both of you.

    @amanda32390 Congratulations on finishing your medical terminology class! That is late getting home as far as dinner and being able to cook, fast stuff or prep would work great for that.

    @FtoFit @tammymccrady6278 @FusiaKat Way to go on first week of March amazingness!

    @sleepygirl79 If you just had a lot more food than normal or more sodium like going out to eat those could be reasons, I hope it comes off fast!

    @JenAWhite Yay robin and daffodils means spring is on the way, glad you and doodle got outside!

    Hi team! I'm doing the Fat2Fit cleaning challenge this week so workout plus bathrooms means I'm worn out and I couldn't finish the shower today but I'm glad it's all looking better. Sometimes things get so messy it causes too much anxiety to start but I try to keep up with it. When I was bedridden my house was a mess and it's never as bad as then but I'm scared to let it go for long when I'm not doing well. I took an early bath and the rest of the day's been more physically calm watching TV, reading, and catching up here. Tomorrow's the pain clinic, I honestly am hoping it's not the nurse I usually see since we butt heads, it's great that she cares but I think it comes out a little odd so I'm happy to just have someone fill my medication tomorrow and send me on my way. Have a great Monday!

    No Zeros
    under calories decent eats
    great water
    chair cardio, legs and abs strength training, stretching, cleaning
    Bathrooms mostly done (will do shower tomorrow)

    @txcritter69 your decor is beautiful!
    It’s nice to see so many crafters. I like to do some for gifts. If I figure out how to post pictures on mobile, I’ll share. Great to get some ideas from others.

    @micaroo4 I hope you and Rich get better quickly. Hopefully not COVID.

    Well my weekend was crazy. Friday I didn’t do a whole lot in the evening. My stomach was upset and I was getting dizzy spells. Felt a bit better Saturday, but was a day of running around between children’s activities, baby shower, and a bday party to attend. I tried to stay good at the events and mostly ate fruits, but did have a couple of not so calorie friendly items. Today, I kept busy doing laundry, dishes, and made pizza pretzels for kids lunches. Now back to work tomorrow ☹️ After gaining weight, I’m going to have to be extra careful this week. All the best to everyone this week!

    @trooworld - Hurray for not snacking yesterday! And hurray for today's "track all three meals" goal!
    Your day of art sounds great.
    Thank you for sharing pictures of your art! It's all fun and so varied! I was especially fond of your etched glass vase, and the paper turkey (made from a book?).

    @JenAWhite - Your goals for today sound great! Here's to building that momentum!

    @sleepygirl79 - It sounds like you did some good damage control with all those social events.

    @Megnolia82 - Good for you for persisting through the wild fluctuations.

    @Katmary71 - "Sometimes things get so messy it causes too much anxiety to start." -- I so get this. I am doing office cleaning and working on financial records, and I get that anxiety hot for both.
    I hope the pain clinic goes well today, and that if you get the nurse you butt heads with, you get through and on your way quickly!

    @JenAWhite - I love your No Zeroes report! I did not think to report, when I said my steps in, that I was seeing spring flowers, but I am. Bluebonnets are here! They only last a couple of weeks, and everyone is very excited to see them.

    @txcritter69, @rodgerd27, @19shmoo69, @gemwolf110 - Congratulations on great weigh-ins!

    @sleepygirl79 - That does sound like a water retention thing? Crossing my fingers for you.

    @Ftofit, @tammymccrady6278 and @Fushiakat - Congratulations on being on the leaderboard! Woohoo! 🎉

    @amanda32390 - Great plan! It sounds like preparing yourself to win at dinner could make a huge difference.

    @micaroo4 - I am so sorry you are sick, but very glad to hear Rich is doing better.

    🎉CONGRATULATIONS to everyone that lost weight!🎊

    @Cornanda house painting is going great. Got from the entryway all the way into the kitchen. Ran out of paint so today will be finishing up that project.

    @trooworld Thank you! I am loving all the different types of of crafting. My hubby bought me my own drill for my birthday in '21 then my nail gun for Christmas last yr. I have been learning how to use a table saw to miter saw.
    Your indoor garden is awesome. I will get to that point once remodeling our home is done. To much going on for trying to keep up with to many areas.
    Your crafts are so awesome. I love the pug shirt and hello spring wreath.

    @Katmary71 it would be grate to have a club like that around here. I am winging it here learning how to do everything off of YouTube videos. Will I hope my basil makes it outside cuz that's where I put it for now.

    @micaroo4 Thank you! I am sorry to here that it is your turn. That sounds like what happen with hubby and I during Thanksgiving. I got sick first ran a fever for 3 days then just felt crappy for about a week after. Hubby came in with it a week after me. I did a home test and it came back positive for covid.

    @amanda32390 I am glas you made it through your week. Definitely agree on the grocery haul. I am putting a list together myself.

    @Sleepygirl79 🤞that it was a fluke week. It sounds like water weight to me. That is a lot in one week. Best wishes on doing better this week with food choices.
    Thank you! I would love to see some of your crafts.

    @JenAWhite Great job on the No Zeroes. Stick to it, you can. I have been making it a habbit of checking it at night to make sure I post everything it MFP.

    @megnolia82 so glad to hear that yoh are off antibiotics. I hope you are feeling much better.

    @AustinRuadhain WTG,! For being all green and your weight loss this week. Keep pushing for that evening walk. It's great for both of you!

    So, it has been a very busy week. I have not moved as much in the last 7 days all yr long. 😂🤣😂 My poor aching body. But, for today I have a dentist appt for cleaning then back to the house finish up pallet garden on getting is set up for seedlings. I am taking a stab at cucumbers, green beans and peppers.

    @shaunarlr83 – It really is fun when you get to do your own decorating. I had done earth tones years ago, but now ready for a change. I’ve always loved beachy themes (since I live so close to Lake Michigan), so I’m going with pale blues, soft blue-greens, white. Just need more money! Hahahaha!
    @DrewsAnna – So sorry about the binge. Our stomachs are quick to point out our misgivings!
    @Katmary71 – No worries if you can’t find any seeds to trade :smile: And crazy as it sounds, cilantro used to taste like dish soap to me all the way until I went vegan. My tastebuds changed and now it is so yummy! P.S. I’m a Mr Ballen fan, too!
    @trooworld – So much crafty fun! Don’t forget about stickers, tho! I love the ones you made me! I put them on my ink carousel so I see them every time I’m crafting :smile: Your herbs are beautiful!!!
    @txcritter69 – Beautiful woodworking and that Easter spray is breathtaking! Love the pale blues and pinks!
    @Cornanda – Thank you for the sweet note and postage! Unexpected and appreciated...I felt that sunshine!
    @micaroo4 – Oh you poor thing. You almost made it through without catching it from him. Hope you are able to get over it quickly.
    @amanda32390 – I love that you call it “opportunity”. What a wonderful way to speak to yourself. I can definitely learn from you!
    @AustinRuadhain – Nice Green Dots! Fingers crossed you’re able to get hubby motivated again for the walking dates.
    Well the baby shower for my DIL was fantastic on Saturday, minus the meltdown Hunter had afterwards. It was so bad. After I finished with everything and dropping my mother off, I so badly wanted to get an Impossible Whopper. I even got into the lane that I needed to be to go there. But then I saw the Subway sign and decided to get my veggie sub and added my homemade vegan mayo. I was really proud of myself for opting for all the veggies. Definitely a No Zero Win! I thanked my current self on Saturday and my future self is so appreciative now. Would’ve like to have seen a loss on the scale, but I’m happy to just remain steady.
    I think this evening I will make a batch of spinach mushroom risotto in the Instant Pot for lunches this week. Feeling like I might want soy curl fajitas for a few dinners, so going to make that (I use peppers, onions and soy curls with my Olive Cart Fajita Oil). That way my fresh limes and avocados can get used before going bad. Anyone have any yummy meals planned this week? Share them!
    I’m planning on having a good Monday…on my lunch break right now, but then back to work. Sipping on my water infused with True Blueberry and Lemon Zinger. I’m sharing this idea for the newbies in the group…for those that struggle with drinking plain water, I hope this helps. Fill a 32oz bottle with water and put in one Lemon Zinger tea bag along with another fruit flavor tea bag (this time happens to be True Blueberry, but I also really love it with Raspberry). And if you don't want lemon flavor, you can pick whatever combo you want. As long as you have 2 tea bags for every 32oz, it will turn out delicious. Stick it in the fridge overnight. So yummy! Here’s a picture of the tea I’m talking about. I feel like it's stronger than regular herbal fruit tea, so that's why I recommend using the Zingers. (Note - they do all contain hibiscus, so if that's not your thing, just find some fruity teas that make you happy!)

    Took a second covid test. This time tested positive. I'm out of work for the rest of the week. So far feels like a bad cold with a headache. Rich probably had covid all last week. Those tests aren't 100% accurate.
    @vegan4lyfe2012 - I love True Blueberry! I never thought about using it in cold water. I'm going to give it a try.

    @micaroo4 I'm sorry your sick. Believe it or not I agree with @vegan4lyfe2012 about drinking tea. I would suggest peppermint instead of fruit. I would also amp up the vitamins and take zinc with quercetin. I could go on but I'm not a medical person.

    @micaroo4 feel better soon. My mom had the same thing you had just over a month ago. Get lots of rest and listen to your body.

    Today was an ok day. Did Zumba but need to get it out of my head that just because I burned a bunch of calories, doesn’t mean I need to eat more. Tried to stick to lots of fruit today. Need to do better meal prep for sure.

    Rich was having a lot of trouble breathing, so he went to the clinic. They called an ambulance to bring him to the hospital. He's in afib. And he's testing positive for covid today. I'm going out of my mind with worry. Wish I could have gone with him .

    Weigh-In Tuesday

    I'm so happy to see that I stayed the same. I've been eating lots more, and extra nuts too. I'm still doing yard work most days. I put a bunch of fairy lights in the Cactus Garden, they were not expensive, but they make me smile and they stay on all night. I think we might have homeowners' insurance, crossing my fingers. They came and took pictures yesterday of the front of the house.
    I had a good visit at the doctor's office this morning. I had to stop and buy more gardening gloves, I cut my finger last week clean thru the glove. Not bad, but I need new gloves now. It's time to weed the cactus garden again, but I'm almost done raking in the small area across from the creek, it's a pie shaped piece of property with oleanders planted along a chain link fence, on two sides, there is a dwarf peach, pomegranate tree and guava tree.

    I think I'm ready to move to maintenance, with a range of 135 - 140 that way my weight won't be counted as part of the team's weight.
