@trooworld I hope you got your project in and had time to enjoy the party.

@DJill68 prayers for your Fil. Glad you’re doing better now.

@micaroo4 congrats on doing strength training. I started at 1 kg weights and giggled at the idea but they wore my arms out. Before this recent sickness I was up to 4kg. I may go back to 2 now and work my way back up. I’m cheering for you.

@Katmary71 you did amazing at the farm. Great calorie burn. I wanted to tell you I shared Sydney vids with friends, thank you again.

I did WI in today to see how things are going. I’m down .4 and that was a surprise. I hope this is a good sign I may start losing again. It definitely gives me some pep.

Kids and furry family are all doing well. My son got a surprise award for being batch leader (his 3rd year) at a ceremony he attended. Thankfully one of my daughters friends is also in med at his uni and caught a video of it for us. I’m so proud of him. A FB memory popped up the other day of us discussing my health issues (botched surgery and the crisis that ensued) and he said, had that not happened he may not have chose medicine. I pray he takes everything he learned from caring for me, how I was mistreated and how I almost didn’t make it and uses it to be the best doctor ever. Ok I’m an emotional mess and will stop here. Thanks for reading. I’m just so proud of my children.

In other news, it’s getting hot and I’m meeting a new friend of a friend tomorrow and that should be great fun.

Have a great day everyone 💐

May 10 weigh-in was 186 lbs
May 17 weigh-in is 187 lbs
May 24 weigh-in is 193 lbs
May 31 weigh-in is 187.5 lbs

A summary of my month of May. Gaining 5 lbs overnight is not unusual unfortunately losing 5lbs overnight is not so easy. I have always known my eating habits are governed by my emotions. I have to ask myself why and understand the triggers. blood pressure ✔️ ✅️ ☑️

@DJill68 I'm glad you are feeling better. I've neve heard of Thrive...what is it? I'm sorry about the news of your FIL's cancer metastasizing. How exciting about the 1st son...I recently met family I connected through on Ancestry and it was amazing.

@Katmary71 Guess what? I got my project done in the morning and was able to hang out! That was both good and bad. More on that later. I'm glad things are going well for the farm. That sounds like a good focus for you.

@AmbersWay Thanks! Yay for a loss! It's invigorating when you see a loss, isn't it? Congrats to your son! That's a silver lining out of the medical problems. Your children sound wonderful and you should be proud. I hope you have fun with your new friend!

@Cornanda I know how you feel. That's how I feel, too. I hope the challenge helps you. That's a great goal for the challenge.

@Bemybestby60 Congrats on the loss! Wow, that picture is pretty.

Hi all. I was able to finish my project by the time the party started so I enjoyed socializing and some nibbles. It was nice but cold and gray outside and the food was mostly summery foods: ice cream, Hawaiian shaved ice, and Nothing Bundt cakes. I didn't have the shaved ice but I had the other stuff. Day 2 of tracking everything.

4th of July challenge: tracked 100% of what I ate

My phrase for the year: "Every choice is another chance to change my health for the better."

For the July challenge, I would like to go outside for at least 30 minutes per day. If left to my druthers I would just stay inside the house in my climate-controlled environment. Being outside is good for me and its good for the yard too.

Hi team, love seeing all the new posts! I'm about to leave for a board meeting at Dairy Queen and wanted to drop in and say hi first. I did leg strength and stretching then had my permanent bridge put in and went to Trader Joe's. I had a meeting with the charity president that fell through but we still have the board meeting, I'll be over by about 500 calories but better than 1000 if I got fries and chicken strips too! I helped our vice president who is also the garden club vice president get a last-minute speaker, we have a group called The Petal Connection that grows (at the food bank farm) and makes bouquets and takes them to retirement homes and hospitals for people and the grower and I chat a lot at the farm, he's a horticulturalist and figured he'd be full of great flower advice for the garden club. I have said that's the coolest club I've ever been in, right? OK gotta get my stuff and run, have an awesome Friday if I don't drop back in later!

No Zero Days
- great water
- leg and ab strength, stretching, gardening

@DJill68 sorry to hear about your FIL’s cancer. Though the family reunion sounds like something he would keep fighting for. That will be so exciting for him.
@Cornanda I get what you say about getting your act together. I have days I’m doing well and other days I want to eat a bag of chips and wash it down with giant slurpee. Focus on what you are doing well and make small changes as you can.

Well last bday done for about a month or more. Sunday weigh in will be the truth, but I feel I was well behaved. Haven’t done any running for awhile. I had that cold this week-it’s still lingering in my chest now, and now we are in a heat wave. I am not too comfortable running in 30C/90F weather in my poor shape. It cooled down nicely tonight but it is too late to go now. Manitoba weather is so bipolar.
Signed my oldest up for driver’s ed yesterday, but he won’t start until late fall. It’s a gong show to register around here so you have to be quick. I’m excited for him, but sad my oldest is growing up, which means I’m getting older too. I like to think of myself as one of the cooler moms though 😁. I can lay down the slang with the teens. Low-key no cap. I be bussin’. Haha!
