Good Morning everyone!
First off 🎉🎊CONGRATULATIONS @dovors19, @GabiV125, @tammymccrady6278 and @Sleepygirl79 on your WI this week.
@Katmary71 I will share pics when I finally finish up with everything outdoors. I am glad you got your car home and is running good.
@trooworld I am getting excited for you, tomorrow is the big day with meeting Violet. 🤞thatevrything goes well.
Things took a stop on the garden as weather conditions went north. Lol
I am sorry about your dental appt. I have had several expensive on my mouth over the last several years. From fillings to partial retainer. Still can't wear the partial but working on it.
Took a snapshot of the skillet chicken pot pie, definitely going to try it.
I sorry to see that your night out did not go as planned but were able to make adjustments.
@AustinRuadhain I went with the sand storm and dust bunny as main colors. Dust bunny is just a shade darker then sand storm. I am also doing accent walls. In my livingroom and bedroom is the sand storm with accent wall and the rest of the house is dust bunny. We have not decided on bathroom yet.
Organizing/decluttering is a big job. I have been at it since the beginning of the year. Still have so much to do. Notice yesterday when doing laundry that my poor husband has not shirts that fit him. He has lost so much weight over the last yr. All of his shirts are a 2x and he is in an lg to xl. So next month I get to shop for him!😁
Great job on no zeros.
@DrewsAnna Everyone needs time to rest. I am glad you got some sunshine, it is really good for depression. I pray over time that you feel better with your depression. I for one knows how it takes a toll on ones body.
@AmbersWay I too notice the effects of bad carbs. They are an addiction as bad as smoking for me. I LOVE THEM TOO MUCH! Sweets more the bread. But I am working on controlling them.
I have a total gym in my work out room that I am wish I could get to and use. But my workout room has become a storage room while we remodel the front part of the house. Some day I will get to use it again 😢
@micaroo4 It's good to hear that y'all are doing better. Prayers to you both that you feel better and stronger each and every day forward.
@tammymccrady6278 This week has seem to be a struggle for most. Wonder if it had something to do with the time change. We had to many fast food nights here.
At the first of the month I bought new make up and started wearing it again. Even if I am not going any where. Just getting dressed for the day is making me feel better about myself. But I agree with @trooworld when it comes time to take it off it seem like and extra night chore when getting ready for bed.😂
Well, here the last few days were winter weather again. Had to bring in most of my plants.and cover what had to stay out. I hope this is the last of it this yr. But, I have a feeling we might is it one more time around Easter. I did get the rest of the dust bunny on the walls getting it. But now have to finish getting the other walls and ceiling ready for paint. Will probably work on that up until Tuesday when spring returns. I want to get out later this week with Diesel and get pics with him in a field of bluebonnets. I got one 2 yrs ago but missed out last yr.
Also this week I am going to work on going to bed and getting up about the same time every day. My sleep schedule is all messed up. Not sure what is going on with it.
I hope everyone days a wonderful Sunday and a very productive week.

Hey y'all! Just popping in real quick. Someone posted something about starting to put makeup on again and it made them feel better. That stayed with me. Today, I decided to do my hair and put eye makeup on. It definitely changed my mood for the day. Thank you whoever posted that.

I'll use this time to send out a Stridekick invite instead of trying to help by finishing my grown son's birthday treat that is still on the counter. Uggh. Let me know if you don't get an invite from me, but want one.5

Did someone say post pics after hair and makeup is did?10 -
@DrewsAnna I'm so glad you're not feeling depressed anymore, that's wonderful! I look forward to hearing how the meal plan goes. I had the honey mustard pork chops that were recommended (was it you who posted that?) and they were really good.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Did you hear me squeal at Sprouts when I found the Celestial blueberry tea? I'm drinking it now, it's really good! It would be a nice one to mix with others too, I could see it with black cherry, that would be an interesting mix.
@trooworld LOL it's all Holly's fault, she obviously knows you're a warm-hearted animal lover, I hope it goes well with Daysi/Violet! That BJ's salad sounds delicious. Hey even though it's raining again at least we know it's almost over, I mean tulips are out right? I think tomorrow's the first day of spring but may be wrong.
@txcritter69 You're getting a lot done, wtg! I love your photo of Diesel, I hope you get the chance to get a 2023 version of it, he's such a handsome pup. OMG the second one is even more adorable than the first, that's a good one to frame!
Go Mission Slimpossibles, 2nd place this week! @megnolia82 @sleepygirl79 @AustinRuadhain Way to go top winners!
@DrewsAnna You look beautiful, I'm so glad it made you feel better, love this so much. I'd stopped doing my hair/makeup and wearing jewelry when I'd got to my highest and starting to do it again lifted me a lot, I think in some ways I was punishing myself for not being on top of things and not letting myself have any joy if that makes sense.
@JenAWhite Good luck avoiding that treat, I have mad respect for all of you with temptations under your noses all the time!
@19shmoo69 I love seeing a closer photo of you, you're looking good and have an awesome smile!
Hi team, we survived another weekend! I had a meeting in the morning regarding the care packages and it went great, I felt a lot of relief getting a lot of that deligated. I had thick packets and an outline of things to do for everyone so after showing I can take charge I'm a little worried I'll have to more often. Funniest comment was the president saying that every single board member has threatened to quit in the last year (the vice president and I innocently stared at the ceiling, haha). My parents came by in the afternoon and left me some Armenian pastries so I blew my diet today. I got up a little early to work out too. This week is more mellow thank goodness. I spent time after dinner moving tomatoes to bigger pots and have more to do but not much room. Anyhow have a great Monday everyone! Looking forward to the rain ending soon. Let's be extra awesome this week!
No Zero Days
ate healthy aside of pastries, over calories
great workout (chair cardio, strength (legs and abs), stretching
lots of tea today5 -

I almost forgot to post and caught the last minutes of Sunday which is great because I’m down some more. Wohoo
SW 220.2 I believe6 -
Another weekend done. I’m surprised I was down even some. I was very prepared for a gain. I’m going to have to be good this week. We are going away next weekend and it will be mostly restaurant eating for 3 days-eep! I will have to choose wisely.
Congrats to all who made a loss this week and to those who didn’t, don’t get discouraged. Next week is a new week to try again!

Congrats to the whole team for achieving 2nd place by percentage and pounds! A special shout-out to @megnolia82 @sleepygirl79 @AustinRuadhain for leading the way, way to go!
@jugar Oh crud! I totally forgot, I'm so sorry! Please just give me a NWI darnit. My bad!!! I was busy and dreaming of the new dog to be lol.
@txcritter69 @sleepygirl79 @rodgerd27 @AmbersWay Congrats on the losses!
@txcritter69 Thank you! I am very excited, too. I wish the rescue would keep us more up-to-date: I texted them yesterday to see if everything was confirmed and they said yes and they would give me the details shortly. Well that was at 1pm yesterday and I still don't have the details.
Thanks, yeah it's one thing after another. Sorry about your weather. Yeah, the night out wasn't as I dreamed it would be but it was still inspiring! OMG is that Diesel? He's so cute!!! 
What a beauty. Please post if you take more pics of him in the flowers! Good luck with the sleep schedule.
@DrewsAnna You look gorgeous! Great picture.
@19shmoo69 What a handsome pic! I like your hair and makeup!
@Katmary71 LOL YES!!! Thank you! That salad was delicious. That's a good point about it's almost over. And all the flowers are nice. I'm ready for it to be spring! I just looked it up and today is the first day of spring, yay! Have a great Monday! Good job with your no zeros.
@sleepygirl79 HAHAHA that looks like the cutest beast! I can see why he gets you out in the bad weather.
Hi all. Today's the day: we pick up Violet tonight! I am so excited. The birthday celebration went well yesterday, I had a small piece of lasagna, garlic bread, salad, and some pizza.
MY NO-ZERO DAY WIN FROM YESTERDAY: Ate responsibly at the birthday celebration.

Hurray for being in the green. Onwards!
My no zeros for Sunday:
🟢 Eating fruits and vegetables
🟢 Fasting window (aiming for 17-7)
🟢 Steps
🟢 Hydration
No decluttering work yesterday, and no martial arts practice yesterday. The martial arts was a "still recovering" thing, as I went to class (2 1/2 hours) on Saturday. My legs are still tired.
Not exactly a no zero, but I went to a housewarming party yesterday and successfully skipped eating things that were off plan.
I enjoyed spring break and see that I did less catch-up than I might have. There's lot of work to do today. am going to catch up on messages here first.4 -
@megnolia82 and @sleepygirl79 - Happy Monday! I hope your weekend went well. Congratulations on being on the leaderboard!
@trooworld - Yay to eating responsibly at the birthday celebration!
It is so cute that you are so busy with dog dreams. I hope picking up Violet went well!
@JenAWhite - Onwards! You basically held steady, which is a great start for this week. Happy new spring, right back atcha!
@sleepygirl79 - Your walk-loving beast is gorgeous. Wow! We all want hair that nice, I think.
Hurray for being down for the week!
@AmbersWay - Hurray for being down some more. And down over 17 pounds now -- that's fabulous!
Let's both torch it on Stridekick this week!
"I’m quite weak from being like a lethargic lizard for 6 years..." -- this made me laugh. Booyah to your having new weights and making yourself sore with them!
Martial arts -- At our martial arts school, we train using multiple styles of martial arts. On Saturday, class included work on Koarean and Chinese forms and some long staff training. My muscles are still tired today.

@Katmary71 - Armenian pastries sounbd dangerously delicious! I hoe that your parents didn't leave you too large a box.
@19shmoo69 - You have a great smile! Even without makeup. ;-) Is that a vacation pic? My memory (perhaps wrong) is that you live in a greener place than that.
@JenAWhite - Thanks for inviting me to the Stridekick challenge. I am loving those!
@rodgerd27 - Hurray for being down this week!
@DrewsAnna - You look great! So glad that you are experimenting with ways to shift our mood. **hugs**
@txcritter69 - I looked your paint colors up. Nice! It's great that your husband needs new shirts - wow! Have fun shopping for shirts with him next month. (I love doing that.)
Also -- I love the vintage truck and the bluebonnets in the picture behind Diesel. It looks like a perfect central Texas spring!
Hurray for being down for the week!
@micaroo4 - How are you and your husband doing?1 -
@AustinRuadhain thanks. Good job on your loss too!
If you want hair like my dog, I have a bunch of it all over my floors.2 -
@AustinRuadhain it's a pic from a mission trip to New Mexico. I do live in a greener area. It's already mowing season. Ugh0

@Katmary71 – The second planter I added contains 3 basil, 2 oregano, 1 dill (from you) and 2 parsley (from you). Super excited! Thank you! I have watched the movie We Need to Talk About Kevin. Not sure if the movie follows the book, but what a horrible roller coaster of emotions. I watched it when my two oldest were in high school. Heartbreaking. I appreciated how it was from the mother’s POV. Glad to hear about your car working now and WOOT WOOT that you found the True Blueberry tea!
@trooworld – So glad you liked the card
I totally get the grumpiness you were feeling. That’s me today. Can’t wait to see pictures of Violet! So exciting!
@19shmoo69 – Make up and hair are on point!
I love all the fur-baby photos! Keep ‘em coming!
Friday night consisted of watching the new movie 65. Totally enjoyed it! It was super fun and action packed.
I decided to spend some quiet time alone reading on Saturday…I’m an all-or-nothing personality, so I started a book at 3pm and finished it just before 11pm. (That’s why I can’t read very often…because I won’t do anything else.) The Whisper Man by Alex North. Crime thriller with a supernatural element. That’s all I’ll say in case anyone else is interested. I really enjoyed it.
My middle daughter turned 26 yesterday, so Sunday was all about her. My son and his wife came up for the day and (yay!) Hunter did great being around her brother and sister (whew!). Ate too much yummy food (Moe’s for lunch then Bar Louie for dinner) but a lovely pot of White Grape Tea in the afternoon. Tea was so yummy, no snack was needed.
After work today I’m picking up pizza and heading over to my mother’s. Hunter will be there, too. We have to hurry up and re-watch the first 3 John Wick movies before we see #4. Figured we’d watch one every night this week…we’ll see how that goes.
I hope everyone has a great Monday!

Dang TOM visiting, so not surprised. Sorry, guys.2 -
@sleepygirl79 - Hehehehehehehe! I was hoping for long, luscious locks growing from my head, but I suppose rolling in it could be a distant second.
And thanks for the congrats! I am happy to be making progress.
@19shmoo69 - Mowing. I sympathize. My husband and I trade back and forth, as neither of us loves it.
@vegan4lyfe2012 - Hugs for the TOM and number. Next week!
By the way, if you like action (John Wick), you might like The Recruit if you have Netflix. I see it has been renewed (it's a series), so it was likely "hot" some months ago. I am never up to date, but it is a fun thing if you are in the mood for a thriller.0 -
@AustinRuadhain I still have teens at the house. I haven't actually mowed in a few years. I do the yard inspections. Lol5
-
@19shmoo69 teens are good like that! We have dishwasher, mowing, and doggy landmines for chores.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Ive never heard of TOM. I sure like that term! I’m gonna have kick Aunt Rose out. Haha!3 -
@AmbersWay Glad you remembered, that's great!
@sleepygirl79 That's a beautiful beast you have there, great photo with the leaves.
@trooworld Thank you, happy Spring! Have fun with Violet, I can't wait to hear how it goes!
@AustinRuadhain That's a long class, no wonder your legs are tired! Great job staying on plan at the party, that's such a challenge.
@vegan4lyfe2012 I hope the seeds do well! We Need to Talk About Kevin would be a hard one with kids the same age. Yay for White Grape Tea and happy family celebrations!
Hi everyone, hope you all had a great Monday! I didn't have a ton of energy and stayed in bed late but still managed to do pretty good getting a hall squared away for the military care packages and reached out to get a speaker at the food bank farm. I made pizza for dinner in my cast iron pan, it came out really good and I'll be doing that again. Thank you to whoever recommended the honey mustard air fryer pork chops, I think it was @DrewsAnna but I'm not positive, they were really good! Have a wonderful Tuesday!
No Zero Days
healthy food under calories
chair cardio, arms and abs, stretching
great water
Deciding AGAINST a chakra yoga challenge when I saw it was 45 minutes, normally I try to follow through on everything but I watched the beginning and with another storm coming in I'll just make my pain even worse so I'm proud of myself for not overdoing it!3 -
Hey y'all!
@sleepygirl79 I love your beast 🐕❤️
I've been busy lately, trying to do some spring cleaning. I like getting the house nice & fresh again. I was supposed to be getting ready for a family dinner tomorrow but, while I was at Costco I found tomorrow had to be canceled. So, I decided to slow down for a bit. I finished my Costco shopping, came home. Decided to do my grocery shopping for my weekly meal plan tomorrow when I can take my time. Tomorrow for dinner will be instant pot baked ziti. 😋
Since I was able to slow down I did a little exercising. I did some modified jumping jacks, some chair push-ops and some crunches. Lol, my arms are already sore from the push-ups. I reached my step goal and I'm a happy camper. I'm hoping to take my best buddy out for a walk tomorrow.
Y'all have a great evening/day!!4 -
Ugh late again, so sorry, we’ve been slammed at work….for the record I had a really great weigh in mid week 😂😂😂
