    Congratulations @Pupowl !!! Huge accomplishment! You’ve really been amazing! So happy for you!

    Had a quiet Valentine’s Day with my husband. He cooked us a steak and I made a baked potato and we shared and watched a movie. A story about a Dutch man who forged Vemeer paintings and sold them to the Nazis. Apparently based on a true story.

    My daughter, her fiancé, and several of their friends are coming in tonight for the holiday weekend. The dog will be thrilled with the company! Me too!

    @SavageMrsMoose Thank you! :smile:

    Since a lot of us are into a declutter mood lately, I figured I would share this video I came across. I thought it was nice, and I realised I already do a lot of these things.

    Hello Shape Shifters! Here’s my weekly weigh-in report:

    Name: PatriceFitnessPal
    Weigh-in day: Thursday
    PW: 143.3
    CW: 143.2

    SW: 168
    LtD: 24.8

    My goal is to maintain my weight between 125 and 130 pounds while building more muscle strength. I’m concentrating on weight bearing exercises because a recent annual physical / lab report showed signs of osteopenia. So, I’m trying to increase my bone density, and improve my flexibility to slow the aging process as much as possible! 👵🏻 I’m glad to see I’m now within 15 pounds of my target range — and under 20 pounds to reach my goal.

    Best wishes to our team!

    @pupowl, ty for sharing the video. I do a lot of these things mentioned as well. On a side note, if you're on a declutter mission, please keep in mind the term minimalist has a broad meaning. What I mean by this, is that for some people having an esthetic look in their house is fine. For others, and I'm one of them, it means having less without being esthetic. It's where your level of comfort falls. Also, decluttering for me releases me from going into hoarding mode which I seen with my parents and my brothers are all that way as well. I realize how having too much stuff can affect all aspects of my life...my mental health, emotional health and my physical health.

    I hope that those of us who are on the declutter boat will inspire someone to think of and start this journey as well for a healthier aspect in your life. Clutter does have a negative impact on all aspects of your life. This can't be emphasized enough. Anyone have any questions, please reach out to us who are already on this journey.

    Good Day Shape Shifters!

    Sharing an article on 'food fraud.' What are some of your thoughts on this article?

    How to Find Real Honey, Coffee, Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, Parmesan Cheese, and Maple Syrup

    https://experiencelife.lifetime.life/article/how-to-find-real-honey-coffee-extra-virgin-olive-oil-parmesan-cheese-and-maple-syrup/

    I knew all of that but it still peaked my curiosity. Evoo is costly and many ppl don't want to spend the money on it until they find themselves in a medical situation or similar situations and then they kick themselves for not doing it sooner. I pay around 35 to 40 dollars for the evoo I get.

    As far as honey, besides the anti-inflammatory benefits, local honey from your honey bees also help with allergy benefits. I always tell others to get with someone who is a honey bee keeper. You'll taste the difference literally.

    @Armygirlarmyof1 Hi!
    Wow $35-40 for you EVOO! I started a business last year to make and sell giardiniera. My Mom's recipe used canola oil (likely for cost and storage, she's deceased so I can't confirm with her). I want to upgrade the recipe to EVOO and have been learning more about it. I was curious how much a real EVOO would cost me. ... eeek.

    I typically buy honey that is from Poland or Ukraine. I will have to check out the local bee keepers by me. I'm excited to taste the difference.

    @Cyncia85 -- I've had trouble with counterfeit shoes and counterfeit protein powders off of Amazon.




    Hi @Itadakimasu7 Ugh, those scammers. Are there any tips you can share with the group to help with our Amazon / online shopping so we can avoid counterfeit shoes and protein powders?

    Hey y'all...not feeling a 100% tonight so I'm headed to bed early to get a good night's sleep. Trying to make it through the rest of the week and then I have a 3-day weekend to rest up. Hope you all had a lovely day today!

    @jessicakrall8 - Wishing you genuine rest!

    Hi Fitness Friends!

    I'm happy that I got a run in yesterday (Tuesday). I felt some pain in my right root. I decided to stop at 1 mile so I could spend more time on all the tightness and trauma stored in my body. I have class tonight - we have a group presentation to give. I got my allergy shot today during my lunch break. :neutral: So no workout today.
    I'm looking forward to tomorrow (Friday). I will be past this big presentation and I can spend some time in the dry sauna after my workout.

    My niece turns 9 this weekend! I'm excited to celebrate her.

    I recently read an article on burnout from Harvard Business Review. If you're interested, check it out. Let us know you thoughts :smile:

    The Restorative Power of Small Habits
    https://hbr.org/2024/02/the-restorative-power-of-small-habits

    In the above article, there is a link to an article from Dec 2019 - Burnout Is About Your Workplace, Not Your People.
    I recommend reading that one as well.

    @Cyncia85, let me know what you think about the local raw honey. It was a total game changer for me. And yes evoo is expensive. I buy a big thing of it and I always check to see where it's from. And with the evoo, if it's true to form, it has a taste you cannot beat. Yummy
