@Katmary71 He has threatened to hit my husband several times, I don't know if he would do it, but the threat concerns me. This guy is 20 yrs younger than my husband.

@Brigit02 Thank you, I pray everyday this guy will move to. The owner of this house has finally come to town, but he hasn't done anything.

@sleepygirl79 Thank you.

Hi everyone,

So, I kept my splurging to a minimum yesterday. I wanted to get into all kinds of things, but I didn't want to track it, that helped me from going to crazy. However, I ate one healthy meal. Lol, that is the only thing I did right.

Today, I did a tad bit better, I didn't have any healthy meals, but I only had 2 meals and some grapes. I drank all my water and made my step goal pacing back and forth because of anxiety.

Tomorrow is weigh in, I hope the scale is kind.

Y,all have a great evening.

@leonadixon I'm so sorry for your loss. Wishing you strength during this difficult time. Hope to see you back in August.

Love ❤️ 😍 💖 the Dahlia❣️

Good Morning folks! 🤠

Awesome job on the weight loss the week. We did great!

@mkksemail I hope all went well with colonoscopy. I hate the prep for those.

@sleepygirl79 sometimes having that stuff actually can help. I have had that happen to. I hope you were able to get to bed earlier the other night and felling ready now.

@Katmary71 the flee market was a hit. I found the lasso rope I was looking for and hubby bought my a red wagon to use for my gardening. Also picked up some jalapenos and used them for poppers. They were delish! 😋
I hate when I leave the water running. My pocket book doesn't like it much either.😂
I am sorry about your hands. I have 2 bulging disc in my neck. When winter rolls around I have different symptoms every yr from arthritis inflammation. A few yrs back it cause 3 of my fingers to go numb I had to go for steroid injections in my neck every other month. It really did not help. I just gained weight from it.
Congrats on your loss. Have you done the gummies. I find them helpful on night ghat my body is screaming at me.😂 It calms the pains and helps with getting a good night's sleep.

@trooworld your dinner look so yummy😋 I grew my hair out after my mother passed away. It took almost 2 yrs.


@vegan4lyfe2012 them grandbabies are the sweeties looking little things😍 Being a grandma is the best thing in the world.

@shaunair83 I am sorry to see you go from the group. We are friends on MFP so we can still stay in touch.

@DrewsAnna Thank you! I am sorry you are having problems with your neighbor. It is hard when you have to deal with them on a daily basis. I hope you have heard from the courthouse by now. Hanging in there. Glad to see you are staying focus on eating somewhat better. Finding something to focus on helps with the stressing of life's encounters (of a third kind)😂😂 just had to add that.

@micaroo4 I'm glad Earl is doing better. Sorry he has allergies/ asthma. It is crazy how animals can get that stuff. I wonder how wild animals deal with those symptoms 🤔

@FushiaKat Congrats on the loss!

@Brigit02 I am with you on going with the flow. I am taking it day by day. I am a believer stressing over it just make you gain more.

@leonadixon I'm so sorry for your loss!


WOW! Can't stay away from this group to long. Have to write a book to catch up.😂
Not much has been going on the past few says just working around the house. Had one of my grandsons stay the night last night. He is 16 and got his first job working at Whataburger. I am so proud of him.
Today I am canning for the first time. I am making dill and bread and butter pickles. If this is a success then I will try it out on other things.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

GO OUT AND BE AMAZING TODAY!

@sleepygirl79 If you can try this stretch, I’ve had strains/strains and whiplash then now all these herniated discs and just discovered this, the first few days after I started doing them it felt really weird but now that it’s been a week I have way better movement and less neck crunching, never knew the arm behind the back making such a huge difference! It was kinked up for so long I was uncomfortable at night for a few nights but my upper back and neck feels so much better despite all my disc issues. Never had this with the hand on low back in any of my years of PT. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hDY4fnEYz0w

@DrewsAnna That’s pretty disgusting, I’m sorry you and your husband are dealing with that.

@micaroo4 I’m so glad Earl is doing better, that’s a relief. Poor Earl, allergies stink, I hope he doesn’t have to be on medication for too long. Hopefully you’ll be able to narrow down some of the allergies so you can watch out for him.

@trooworld My idea was to brew it myself but my “tea maker” hasn’t returned my text yet so it may be moot if she’s offended so I’m not sure if she wants to problem solve with me. Rockin that hat! I'd seriously see you walking around with that and like you just because of it. Are the dogs doing better these days?

@leonadixon I’m so sorry to hear about your mother, prayers and love to you.

@Brigit02 What a perfect dahlia, wow!

@txcritter69 Oh jalapeno poppers sound awesome, I wish I’d seen this two days ago, one of the food bank farm volunteers had left a bunch of pale jalapeno peppers for us and I took some home and gave half to my friend yesterday. Are you going to grow in the wagon or use it? They’re so much help both at home and especially at the farm. I haven’t had good luck with injections either, I’m sorry to hear you’re dealing with that. It’s crazy how awful winter is with pain issues. I tried gummies before but it’s been awhile, I tried going through a medical dispensary talking to a bud tender first and had trouble with all of it making my pain worse. If I’m brave enough to try again I’ll look for the gummies, I know her tea combo is low THC because I don’t feel stoned which I hate, it just makes me tired and helps my pain. I don’t know if that’s a CRPS thing or an allergy because my nerves and brain seem to over fire for 3 hours. I curl in a ball under my covers and wait for it to stop. Thanks for the recommendation! Oh I wish you lived here, I’ve harvested a ton of dill seeds from the farm, I’d swap you seeds for your recipe!

Hi team! Feel like I’ve been away more than a day! I went to the greenhouse yesterday and a childhood friend came over for lunch then we went to the movies. I hadn’t gotten much sleep but it was a serious subject matter so I didn’t fall asleep at the theater and stayed under calories despite having popcorn. After she brought me home my neighbor who also volunteers at the farm texted saying she was bored and was it ok if she visited so I told her to go for it and opened some wine and we hung out. She’s a lawyer who mediates eviction disputes and was a sheriff at one point, she tells you straight up she’s on the spectrum and bad a social nuances and tends to overshare but would love to be friends. I really like her, she’s fun to volunteer with at the farm and hang out with. Today was collecting seeds at the farm, work, then just been resting. My medication increase and lack of sleep hit me hard today so after the store I’ve been taking it easy. This was super long sorry! We’re in a heat wave too, I’m headed outside to water. Have a great Saturday!

No Zero Days- under calories, lots of water, and great workouts today.

@DrewsAnna Oh thank goodness the order was granted, I’m glad there hasn’t been any more trouble. I haven’t tried Boba tea yet but I love tea, I’d looked up the calories and they were more than my cold brew at Starbucks. Is there a type you’d recommend if I tried it? Have fun at the picnic, it sounds like you had a great weekend with people you care about and did well at staying on track. Your backyard visit was a perfect way to go, I forgot about those thins, they’re good!

@19shmoo69 Thanks for the jokes silly!

@trooworld Thanks! Oh no I could see the leash situation getting old fast. My brother’s dog is kept on the leash when we go to my parents and the family starts getting snappy when they’re stuck with her. That’s awesome you’ve been friends for so long with your best friend. I have two close friends from when I was about 10 and 13 that I’m still in touch with, one from the neighborhood and one I met at a dance standing against the “female” wall ranting about how lame it is to wait for guys to ask us to dance. Shoot I hope your knee is doing better for the convention!

@askewcr It sounds like the workshop was pretty awesome even if you didn’t have willpower (the food sounds amazing!), I think the trade off of that many new friends is worth a few days of being off-track, just get back to it when you get home, you got this! It IS a lot easier when you’re back home from a trip, I always try to do good when my Mom and I would visit family but despite insisting on veggies for every meal there’s wine, cakes, and great meals so I usually go up 5-10lbs but it comes off fast when I get home and get back on track. What kind of workshop was it?

@jessicakrall8 We really appreciate all the time and effort you put into our group challenges! You’ve been so creative with coming up with a variety all of us can do too, you’re amazing!

Hi team! Same old stuff here, spent a couple hours at the farm working on garlic, went to the farmer’s market for fruit, and have been taking it easy the rest of the day, tired and don’t feel the best but I’m ok. Hopefully I’ll feel a little better once I’m at this dose for awhile.

No Zero Days- under calories, healthy, good workout. My arm’s having more problems but tomorrow’s leg day so I may just lay off the upper body to help the hit funny bone feeling.

Good Morning folks!

I love Sunday's, it is a fresh start to a new week, CONGRATULATIONS to all that made it through last week with a loss!

@sleepygirl79 Glad you feel in better and your headache is gone.

@micaroo4 Glad you were able to get that walk in before the storm.

@trooworld I think is was worth it. No more maintenance every month and my hair feels so much more healthier. I'm sorry thing are so crazy for you with your pups.

@Katmary71 I will have to try that stretch out it sounds like a great one. I love getting together with my childhood friends. Unless I get my tomato plants producing and my new cucumber plants in the ground soon other then my cantaloupe and pepper I am pretty much done with my summer garden. I am going to start my green beans today. I have not mastered a great recipe for pickle yet. But when I do I will let y'all know.

@DrewsAnna That's great that thing worked out and now you can have peace in your own home again. I am going to figure out the canning thing. I hope you have a great time at the union picnic.

@19shmoo69 Love the jokes! Keep them coming.

My pickles were a flop😞 I should have took the warning when I stepped on the scale that morning(166.6). End up having to throw out all 6 jars. So yesterday I made six more 6 but only made refrigerated pickles that time. We will see in a few days if they are any good.
Not giving up on the canning thing thou. I had fun doing it. Just need to figure out a few thing.
Cutting this short have to get outdoorsbefore the oven preheats🔥😂

I hope everyone has a Blessed Sunday!

GO OUT AND BE AMAZING TODAY!
