I am up.4 and am actually pretty pleased:). I am still quite puffy from the antibiotics (I had to take my rings off last night due to the swelling). I was thinking I might be up a few pounds this weigh in, can’t wait to be done these pills on Friday!

@micaroo4 I've used CBD oil first orally and it didn't do anything but topically it did help but I use it for nerve pain in my legs and feet. Shoot I don't recall the brand, it may have been Elixinol as I've been following them for awhile, it was a hemp oil version I bought about 5 years ago. I use a marijuana tea now but it's from a local grower (entire legs and feet is expensive to use CBD topically so I use Volteran gel instead and the tea but I've heard good things for joint pain too).

@laurelfit57 I hope the sleep keeps up and the weigh in goes well! Is there anything you attribute toward getting better sleep?

@DrewsAnna We're happy you're part of this group! Honestly I smile every time I see your photo pop up in my feed. It sounds like you had a great day being on track! Hey I've done Body Groove, she's a pretty awesome person too. I was doing different dances for awhile and have a few of hers on my playlist. I'm curious to hear how you like her program. Have you done Another One Bites The Dust? I end up with my cats following me around when I do that one, pretty funny.

@shaunarlr83 Holy cow thank goodness you're okay, that sounds terrifying!

@trooworld Oh good I'm glad you can stay at home with not feeling well, hope the tummy is better.

Hi team! I went to the greenhouse this morning after my leg weights and stretching and we got a lot done, all the tomatoes and peppers are in bigger pots now. I think it will be a lot easier for me having a day in between so I don't have the greenhouse and farm back-to-back, now that we're caught up I can help at the farm putting seedlings in. My babies are growing! It's the first night my tomatoes and peppers here are going to stay out all night without a blanket so I'm a little nervous. I got about an hour in today in my yard, I'm trying to reuse half old potting mix and new mix so I'm dividing it up around my containers right now which is taking awhile. I met a friend for a small Blizzard and came home to eat dinner since it's hard to eat with the flapper in, the chicken and fries at DQ smelled amazing so I'm proud of myself for resisting! Have a great Friday team, keep being amazing.

No Zero Days
leg weights, stretching, gardening/farm
great water
about at calories but definitely not all healthy with a puppy chow Blizzard!

@shaunarlr83 omg, I'm so glad you are ok! That must've been terrifying.

@Katmary71 I'll be sure to look for that one. Lol, if I wind up on the ground Chipper will be the happiest boy ever.

Hey y'all,

I gained again but I expected it. It's a brand new week and I'm trying to work on getting back on track. I made good food choices and I ate my veggies. 😅 I did some housework and a workout, lol, and I definitely made my step goal. Today was a good day for me.

I woke up to a surprise today. Lol, I had 2 newborn kittens. One of them was almost dead. So, I wrapped it up in a blanket (it seemed frozen) and took it in the house and warmed some milk. I used a medicine dropper and drop some drops in its mouth. I just held that baby to get it to warm up. After about an hour it started moving around and meowing. I took it out to mom and the other kitten and momma kitty took right over. I've kept a close eye on both kittens and momma and all are doing good. I didn't take any pictures, but I will tomorrow.

@shaunarlr1983 - Oh my goodness, that is a terrifying story. I'm so glad that help was there and you all made it through OK.

@laurelfit57 That's a great weigh-in considering you are on antibiotics.

@Katmary71 Thanks, it's better today. Sounds like a productive day at the greenhouse. I hope your tomatoes and peppers do okay. Way to resist that DQ chicken and fries!

@DrewsAnna Congrats on a good day! Awww, what a nice surprise I hope they are okay. I can't wait to see the pictures.

Hi all. I lost a bit this morning and this is the 2nd week in a row that I've lost so I'm happy about this. I am off today because I have to go to a work event tomorrow all day. I'm going to take Violet and go with a friend and her dogs to dog beach, the happiest place on earth! I'm making Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup for dinner, which is usually a 3-4 hour process but I'm using the pressure cooker so it will be about a 2-3 hour process instead.

MY NO-ZERO DAY WIN FROM YESTERDAY: Didn't snack, ate healthy meals.

Hi all! Here to catch up after being in a slump this week.

🎉Congratulations to all those who made the leader board, had a loss and those who keep hanging in here🎉

@DrewsAnna Congrats on the negative biopsy 💖. Oh the baby kitty, you’re so kind. Glad they’re doing well. Happy Anniversary 💐

@shaunarlr83 rattlesnake festival sounds scary and fun. Wohoo on the loss this week. Happy hiking, those calories burned are amazing. A tornado? Ok just finished reading, that is so scary. I’m thankful you all are ok. I am so glad you all had prayers and togetherness.

@trooworld thanks for the link on how to switch it up. I appreciate it. Breakfast, I am bored of what I have been doing and am looking for some changes. So I feel you on wanting to skip it. I can’t because my blood sugar will drop too low. Good job on getting the water in. I’m still working on mine. I forget to log it all. Congrats on the loss! How are the doggies doing? I have a crazy story about mine. I’ll share below.

@AustinRuadhain you made a point about coffee for breakfast. Maybe @trooworld may consider smoothies with protein powder or ice coffee.

@vegan4lyfe2012 Congrats on your new grand baby!!!!

@FushiaKat well wishes for your maintenance to go well and easily for you. I so feel you on not wanting to eat the things that got your weight up. I’m trying to break those habits.

@Katmary71 again I want to thank you for Sydney Cummings videos. I love love love them, even though I am cussing like a sailor during the burn! 😂 (no worries I work out alone and no one hears me) for some reason my strength work outs are not registering into mfp unless I manually do it, but I am doing a minimum of 3 a week. I hope your peppers and tomatoes do well. We have cherry tomatoes popping up and weirdly chili peppers are ready. They never grew during the pandemic but decided to now. They’re spicy too. $20 seems fine to me. It’s the thought that counts. Honestly, I’m happy for the guest to come and share in the fun. Omg I laughed when you said you ate all the chocolate. Sounds like me 😂 but with bread.

@sleepygirl79 your blizzard living life sounds fun but I am sure annoying. Snow makes me so happy but shoveling it would make me run. 😂

@micaroo4 I’m excited for biking weather/timing for you. I do my inside cycling but am considering a bike for the summer. I should get outdoors.

@laurelfit57 I hope you’re feeling great now. Glad your WI went pretty good. Meds can really mess a wi up. Ugh

@19shmoo69 Sorry to hear your wife is unwell. Sending prayers.

——-

Sorry, I’ve been slacking on check ins. It was a busy, glum week. Kids are on a short holiday. Carbs have been had, weight is up 2lbs and tomorrow is WI. Ugh! Sorry, if it doesn’t come off in 24+ hours.

Today, I am hoping I am mentally back on track. I have to go out with my youngest for dinner and she wants her usual Texas Roadhouse. So that is good for me. Protein and salad.

I’ve been doing better at my steps and doing strength workouts. My eating although within calories (minus post diary sharing snack fest with my daughter) the carbs have done did me in. I know better and have to refight that battle.

Doggies 🐶 story!!

So two of my girls like to sneak out. Someone didn’t close the gate well at night and out they went. They typically go play at the neighbors. Grab a snack and come back. We put apple airtags on them but that doesn’t stop them from a stroll.

So right away when my son came home, he saw they were off. So he tracks them. He’s driving like a stalker late at night through the neighborhood. Comes across a car full of guys. They ask, “Are you
Looking for something?” he says, ya! They ask, “Whats the color?” He’a like black and golden. (German shepard and gold saluki) they’re like follow us. 😂

(He says mom, it’s like a tv scene for a drug deal).

They take me to a dark road where a new Mercedes G wagon stops and a new Cadillac.

The guys get out. My son is alone. The new guy ask about the color again. My son tells him. He puts the window down a bit and my 2 crazies pop their WET heads out like…

HELLO!!!!

So apparently they went in this guys gate and took a swim in his pool!!!

He puts my wet crazies in his car and starts looking for the owners with his friends. They’re tagged and collars, so it’s obvious they have a home.

Talk about embarrassing!!! Thankful at the same time. The guy was so nice about it. My son was like, ugh 2 wet dogs in my truck 🤣.

I run a circus 🎪 here!!!

I’m also hamster sitting and I am so happy. A local pet group had a post for a hamster sitter (which is unusual) so I offered. My hams have passed away and I miss them terribly. So now I have this big boy and he’s so cute. Long haired fluff ball.

That’s my latest. Family is well and summer is on the way. Wohoo! I live winter but I am ready for the kids to out of school for a while.

@Katmary71 - Can Jasper get out of that harness? I tried a harness on Earl, and he just turns around and starts backing up until the leash is tight and he is able to slip out of the harness backwards. He does it really fast too; the only way to stop him from getting out of the harness is to drop the leash when he starts trying to back up. I would love to bring him outdoors but I don't have confidence that a leash will hold him.
