The daily card:Tuning into the happiness and joy of others can help us cultivate happiness and joy in ourself. Next time you notice beauty, lightness or joy in someone, see if you can feel the reflection of their happiness and let it affect your own experience. This can sometimes be difficult, especially if we feel jealousy or resentment, so if those feelings come up, just think "That's interesting" and try to tune in to happiness all the same. And as a bonus, tell someone who is lit up with happiness how lovely it is to see them so joyful.

Hello all!
I'm going to have to go on the support team for the indefinite future. Still holding close to my goal weight but just overwhelmed with everything going on "IRL" and have to start limiting my commitments to save my personal sanity. With the wedding, some family illnesses, etc etc, I've just a lot on my plate right now!10 -
@SavageMrsMoose -- I did support team and just hung in and read the posts (when I could - sometimes there are a lot!) I love this group and the people and enjoy your posts so hope you'll be around.

Thursday ~ March 07
Good morning Shape Shifters. It was a very nice and frosty morning here. I biked to the start of a walk again to check on the conditions of the trails. I have no idea why, but this area is still crazy wet. I could easily get around several flooded areas, but around 25 minutes away from my bike was a huge section completely under water. I could either slog through mud or take the bike path through clearer (ankle deep) water. With mud comes the risk of slipping or getting a shoe sucked off, so I decided to just wade through the water. It was cooold! I wouldn't have done it if this was at the beginning of the walk, but since I was near the end I figured it would be fine. I want to do this walk with my mom as well, so I need to figure out a slightly different route for the last bit. Besides the wet feet, I had a really nice walk with my camera. There were lots of birds and the sun also showed up. I had a bad headache when I got up in the morning, but the walk made it all better.
I did some more cleaning in the afternoon. My bathroom ceiling had black mold on it because it is made from porous board and there is no proper ventilation. I got a spray to treat it with a while back. The bottle said they do not recommend use on ceilings, and I totally get why. I wore gloves, a wide brimmed hat and my usual glasses and I still got burning eyes. It was such a nasty chemical spray and the smell clung to my clothes so I had to change everything for the second time that day. The spray did work, but I am not sure if it will last. It looks better at least.
Once the bathroom was clean, I washed my clothes and the bedsheets of the guestbed. The bed rarely gets used, but Tinus likes to sleep on it so I wanted to get fresh sheets on for my mom. I was pretty tired by this point, but I still had to get in my gym rings workout as well. It went pretty good. In the evening I put away all the laundry and went through the last box of clothes which had more stuff than I expected. Just from that box I decided to do away with 6 dresses, 4 pants and 9 tops/blouses/sweaters. These things are all in pretty good condition because I rarely or never wore them, so I will look for a place to donate the clothes. I got a lot done, but the day was too busy for me.Happy Friday everyone walk, good sleep & food, gym rings workout, more cleaning & decluttering 
nothing!

Fridays
Prev weight-184.6
Current weight-187
I was 187 yesterday with clothes on, so it's definetly temporary. I have been working out most days, still working on my eating habits3 -
@pupowl, beautiful photos as always. Looks like you caught that one bird midflight!

I've been struggling lately with my diet, as well as losing a little enthusiasm for my exercise. I'm committing to some more disciplined eating/exercising. But since it's Friday, the day I've traditionally given myself a reward for achieving my goal, I decided to kick off my new commitment with this reward:
I made a Dutch baby pancake this morning. I had not heard of such a thing until I came across the name in another thread months ago. I thought it was a rather peculiar name. I did some research and learned (taking the internet at it's word here!) that the name was coined by an American restauranteur who was making a baby version of a German (i.e. Deutsch) pancake. So it really should be called a baby Deutsch pancake, not a Dutch baby pancake!
Anyway, I've made one maybe a dozen times now, and they're quite good. But this morning, I whipped the egg whites separately, and the result was fantastic!
It's fairly simple to make: 2 eggs, ¼ cup milk, ¼ cup flour (I used a bit less). I added some cinnamon and vanilla to mine. Put a large dab of butter in a small iron pan, preheat the pan in a 425℉ oven, then add the batter. Bake for ~15 minutes. I topped mine with some crushed blueberries mixed with some pomegranate jelly my niece gave me for Christmas. It was the best one I've had yet!
Now, time to report my weight today (bad news!), and then aim to do better by next Friday (or no reward!).
