Weigh In Sunday

Apologies that I have not been on lately. This week was nuts. I have over 50 comments in our group to check look through. I like to keep up to date with everyone. I’ll try to be more present this week. I need to work harder on my food intake as I am gaining. Thinking a few less hot beverages in the morning and better late night snacks. Just picked up some baby carrots and grape tomatoes. That’s pretty impressive for me. 😁

And guess what? More snow coming for Manitoba! 😫. Shouldn’t last too long though. Everything else is melted now and we have had above freezing temperatures for the most part. So. Done. With. Winter.

@micaroo4 Wow that's some serious mileage, hope you saw a lot of beauties!

@19shmoo69 I agree, it's both cost-effective and good for the plants to do it so it's a win-win! I don't have raised beds but collected a bunch of wood and leaves in the greenbelt by my house and made a compost pile like that, I put it on the hillside which is real awkward for me to get on with my nerve issues and wasn't too good about watering it or taking my kitchen composter out so it was a bit of a bust. I may put them in the big storage bins I bought to use as pots though, I saved bottles but don't have enough.

@Cornanda Thank you!

@trooworld I think using water for the dogs is good because it shocks them out of that aggressive mental zone that starts. I know if I can startle Jasper once he gets “the look” I can get him to stop and he runs off, maybe I should put a squirt bottle by my bed. Hope you have a great walk and farmer's market trip, sounds like a great way to spend the day!

@fairymange Congratulations on being the top individual weight loser for the last week!

Yay Mission Slimpossibles are 2nd on the leaderboard, who's rockin April? We are!

@fairymange @askewcr @FushiaKat Top team winners with biggest losses, woohoo!

@tammymccrady6278 I'm with you, love seeing all the flowers and warm weather!

@sleepygirl79 Great snack ideas! Oh no, I'm sorry to hear about the snow, hope it passes quickly. Those are great snacks! What kind of hot beverages do you usually drink in the morning, maybe there's lighter versions of them you can do?

Hi team, hope you all had a great weekend! Bill's still in the hospital but he's sounding a lot better which is a relief. I worked out then had a good meeting at brunch with someone who wanted to know more about the charity. I feel like now that we're a year into the charity being licensed our board and main volunteers are pretty solid and have built friendships which is pretty wonderful. A friend briefly stopped by and I got a lot of stuff done as far as starting new seeds and caring for the seedlings then went to my brother's for a bit. Tomorrow I have to figure out what all I need as far as dirt/mulch for the yard, I was going to have help getting potting mix at Costco but they were out everywhere so that's frustrating, another time I'm very thankful for curbside pickup! Let's have an extra great week team!

No Zero Days
great water/tea
chair cardio, weights, stretching, and gardening
food was mostly nutritious and healthy

Hey y'all!

Just popping in real quick to say hi 🙂 I went in for my biopsy on Friday, lol.... I've had a sore breast but today, it's been less sensitive and feeling better. Now, I wait for results that I should get this week. One of my Dr's., called and asked me, "where I'd like to receive my care if it is breast cancer. I replied, I would like to wait for confirmation before I make that decision. That call made me way more nervous that I already was.

Saturday, I spent the day with one of my grand beauties. We played "Candy Land" and "Uno". Lol, I tried to teach him "Phase 10" but, that didn't go to well. We watched t.v. and had a nice easy going day. We must've wore each other out because, when his mom came to pick him up we were all sleeping. Lol, grandpa & Chipper too.

It's late and I'm sleepy. Till tomorrow.

This is something I really believe in:

@Katmary71 good idea. I generally like French vanilla cappuccino (from home or Tim Hortons if I spoil myself) or I mix hot chocolate and instant coffee. I’ve found the Nescafé French vanilla mixes are under 100 calories. I like tea, but not enough to make me really want it. It’s more of a sore throat drink for me. I’m open to other ideas.
@DrewsAnna sounds like you and grand beauty had a fabulous time. Fingers crossed for your biopsy. No need worrying until you know the results (easier said than done)

I am just going to do a quick check in. I hate to admit, I have not even been reading posts and catching up.
On Friday, I went to the dentist and apparently got bacteria in my salivary gland, which swelled up the whole left side of my face and neck, and just absolutely wiped me out, my cheek and jaw were numb it was so bizarre. Anyway, the dentist immediately put me on antibiotics so by Sunday I started feeling better. I must admit though I am pretty puffy from those antibiotics. 🥴.
My granddaughter had a bad case of stomach flu over the weekend and ended up at the Children’s Hospital on Sunday night. They were able to give her some thing so she has been able to drink some juice and have a few crackers today, that was a huge relief (all day Sunday, She couldn’t even keep in ice chips)! The downside is that she was supposed to go on a field trip today and her mom/my daughter was supposed to be one of the volunteers. My daughter had to stay home of course to look after my granddaughter so couldn’t go to school to volunteer, the teacher was not able to find anybody to replace her. My daughter texted me at about 10 o’clock last night and asked me if I was interested in going to the space and sciences centre with the grade one class for the day! Of course I said yes, it was fun, but exhausting. I am now passed out on the couch in my sweats, and don’t plan on moving for the rest of the night.

Eep! I am barely making it on this Monday.

No Zeros today:
- Excellent food food choices, calories on target
- Stuck with my fasting window
- Weighed and recorded all my food
- Breathwork
- Meditation

Onwards! I promise to catch up on chat this week as well. But right now, I am off to finish up class prep for tomorrow. I ended up doing hours of Scout and mom work today -- all good stuff but I am a bit behind. So a double yay to the no zeros, even with not getting all the things in today!

Oh, and I am off to drink some Celestial Seasonings Blueberry Tea while I work. I finally saw some at the store, and several people here had me wanting to try it -- @Katmary71 and @Veganforlyfe2012 , I think!
