@Cornanda Ugh yeah. I don't know how to get over that besides talking back to myself. Congrats on the scale going down! Daisy seems okay now. I sprayed them with water yesterday when they got in a fight and that stopped it right away so I may try that again if it happens. I haven't measured myself in a while, I'm afraid I'll be fluffier or there won't be a difference.

@vegan4lyfe2012 Congrats on the loss! Good to hear a peep from you. I've been thinking of you. Good luck with the induction.

@laurelfit57 Well, we have learned the signs of an impending big fight so we've been able to quell them pretty well the past day or so. I sprayed them with water yesterday and that stopped them dead in their tracks lol. The class is a general class, but the trainer specializes in reactive rescue dogs and was recommended by the rescue as amazing. I hope to see great progress, she's very trainable, so I think we will. How did you get over perfectionistic thinking? Yay for decent sleep! What made the difference? Did you do anything differently? Yummm...I love spaghetti and meatballs. Do you want to share the turkey meatball recipe?

@Katmary71 I absolutely think all-or-nothing with this in a way. I don't do the "I may as well eat all the things" but it's more I won't track stuff. Thanks, I hope I am! Good job at the restaurant, that sounds like a yummy meal. Poor Bill! I hope he gets better soon.

@shaunarlr83 Thank you! Sounds like life is good. Yes, it's hard to balance it all but you'll figure it out.

Hi all. I had a loss this week, which makes me happy. I'm going to a doggy birthday party tonight, a rescue group is celebrating one of the dog's birthdays. I'm meeting one of my best friends there. I am not bringing any dogs because if I bring one, I have to bring the other and we aren't sure how Violet would do.

MY NO-ZERO DAY WIN FROM YESTERDAY: Ate a healthy breakfast and lunch.

I was really tired last night so, I just went to sleep.

@Cornanda I love you using the increased measurements as fuel to lose vs. fuel to overeat, way to go!

@shaunarlr83 Oh that stinks your friend didn't reach out after you talked to her, I was hoping that was going to end better! You've had a ton going on, I'm not surprised you have days where you just need to rest. I love all your connections with your family, I'm glad you have a great support system and are for others as well. Hope you get that hike in soon!

@trooworld I'd missed the fight with Daisy and Violet, I'm so glad Daisy's ok, that's real frightening and I hope it stops with training. The trainer sounds awesome from your description! Wonderful loss too! Hope you have a blast at the dog party, that sounds fun. Funny you mentioned not taking one dog without the other, that's what started Jasper's behavioral issues with Asher was being separated with nail trims. I hadn't thought it would be that bad but a lot of issues can start with taking one animal away so I agree it's smart to do.

Hi everyone, hope you all had a great day. Bill's pancreatitis is back and the hospital did scans on his chest and abdomen trying to get to the bottom of things, he'll get the results in a couple days so he's there for a bit. I didn't hear from him until this afternoon so I was freaking out at the greenhouse and overdid it there. His phone's dead and I contacted the gift shop and they're out of chargers so his only communication is with the regular phone there now, I'm guessing Amazon doesn't deliver to patient's beds right? Put a message in the delivery notes to leave on his chest, haha. I have a couple offers to give me rides there but I don't know if I could get back unless Bill can drive me which he can't do if he's still bad. I'm tempted to bring him back here to heal but he's been out of work so much that he can't afford to leave. I stress-ate last night, trying hard not to tonight. I moved peppers into bigger pots all morning and there's a lot more that needs to go in the ground or in pots and with this storm next week it's going in pots so I'll do that instead of the farm tomorrow. I have to stop there to drop off a plant for someone and check out the plant sale too. Done rambling, be awesome tomorrow!

@Katmary71 Yeah, I instant messaged with a vet on the Chewy site and she said that Daisy is trying to establish dominance with the new dog in the house. They should be able to work it out eventually, I hope. I will also ask our trainer. She IS awesome! The dog party was nice, I got to pet a lot of senior dogs (it's a senior/special needs rescue). Wow, that's interesting with Jasper. Poor Bill! I can see why you stress ate. I hope you can resist it tonight. Hugs!

@askewcr Way to go!

Hi all. Quiet around here. We had fun last night at the doggy event. Ate some terrible tortellini at the event, what a waste of money and calories. Daisy, our older pup, is having pain around her joints so I'm going to try to get her into the vet's today.

MY NO-ZERO DAY WIN FROM YESTERDAY: Drank a decent amount of water.

@trooworld I forgot you can do that with Chewy, sounds like you got a helpful vet. I hope they work out their issues, I know it's frustrating as all get-out plus it seems kind of mean from a human's perspective. Yay for senior dogs, they're probably way more relaxing than Violet right now energy-wise! Oh that stinks to eat stuff not worth the calories! I hope the vet can help Daisy, poor gal.

@19shmoo69 Oh no, the neverending dirt issue! What's the leave and branches for, are you doing Hugelkultur? Glad you got all that done before the hail!

Hey team, hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. It's been beautiful here today. I got to the greenhouse super early then hit the farmer's market. I went to the farm for a plant sale and back later to show my friend and her mom around and snagged more plants (yikes I have a ton of stuff already and not much variety) then spent the rest of the day in the yard. Bill's still in the hospital and getting more tests tomorrow, hopefully he'll be home in the next day or two with a plan to get better. So last year I was dropping off herb cuttings at a plant stand and had really loved the owner of it and she said something kind of rude last year so I wasn't going there anymore. I decided I need to get over it and stop holding a grudge and she'd given me a cool tomato variety a few years ago saying she wanted me to have it and if it ever came back that's when she's meant to grow it. So I found her on Easter and brought her one of the seedlings I started of that variety and said it decided to come back to her this year. She was so touched (I feel like a mushy dork) I'm glad I'm moving on, it was a little inconvienent boycotting her stand when it's around the corner from my brother's plus we're both herb lovers. I'm still not shopping at Macy's or buying from the stone fruit vendor at the farmer's market though!

No Zero Days
great water
walking, gardening, arm weights
saying no when I was too tired to do something (I'm bad at doing stuff to make others happy)
pretty healthy food under calories
