    @trooworld No idea really when strawberry season is. I buy year round cause of the anti-oxidants. I've recently discovered the magic of putting berries in Mason jars. No more spoiled berries. I'm not really bothered by my plantar fasciitis since I started using my inserts. When I first started wearing them it felt like I had a big rock in my shoe. But they've really helped. I have other inserts that aren't as good. I have the occasional stabbing pain when I'm just sitting down but nothing now when I walk.

    @cbabie If that were true what your dr said then all of the siblings of the school would have ear infections. Did he have any useful advice on how to get the kid to sleep? I think it's good to have fresh air in the house. Of course now I can't handle stale air in a room or I go into coughing spasms.

    @fabgeekmom Now I'm confused on a recipe for people with bad backs? How was your swim?

    @theslightedgeforever The cookbook was made for people with bad backs. Less preparation, simpler directions.

    @trooworld I hope the inserts work. I have read that some people find relief from rolling their feet on a frozen water bottle. The cookbook is called The Healthy Back Kitchen. There seem to be less steps and easier recipes. You know thatvATK can be quite complicated. Hi, all. Cooler temperatures are back. Not freezing but probably normal for this time of the year. I need to go grocery shopping this morning. My son is making ATK loaded nachos and cast iron pan brownies tonight. I’ll ride my bike hoping to get a calorie deficit.

    Happy Sunday! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️

    Hope everyone is well! Seems like I’m busier during the time between classes than during the actual class lol. Glad it’s almost spring and looking forward to more outside time.

    Have Zumba this morning, Aqua tomorrow and Zumba on Tuesday this week!

    Have a great day everyone!

    @gemw1010 Good to hear from you! @trooworld Too bad about your feet and the play not being good. I like going to Sam’s Club, too. Hi, all. Today was a nice day. We went to the botanical gardens today and walked around. There were a lot of trees and plants blooming. We came home and I prepared zucchini turkey meatballs from the air fryer cookbook. It was really good. We ate dinner at my daughter’s house. She made egg roll in a bowl. We have brownies and cookies for dessert. I saved up calories.

    @fabgeekmom Thanks. Yes, that helps too. Oh that's a good idea for a cookbook. Yes, ATK can be. Yum, nachos! Good job with the bike.

    @gemwolf110 Happy Sunday and St Patrick's Day to you as well! Have fun with all of that Zumba, good on you!

    HI all. I lasted about 2 hours at the zoo and had to leave. My foot hurt the rest of the day. We went to the play last night but didn't walk around first. The play wasn't too good but oh well. We didn't pay much for the tickets. I'm going to take it easy today but I do have to go to Sam's Club for a couple of things.

    Water yesterday: 15 oz

    My phrase for the year: "New year, new me!"

    Hope your foot feels better soon and sorry to hear about the play not being as well as hoped for. I liked Sam’s club when we had a sams club. Now it’s only BJ’s. There’s rumors of Costco coming but not hopeful.

    @fabgeekmom Thanks for the explanation about the cookbook. That was interesting. I tried the frozen water bottle once and the tennis ball. But I've found relief with my inserts. ooh eggroll in a bowl. That sounds good.

    @trooworld No idea about the Mason jars. I've got the one with the little metal clamp. Usually I just keep them in their container but this really extends the freshness of the berries. No on the incline program. I've just been walking with dh everyday.

    @gemwolf110 I hope you had a nice St Patty's day. Your exercise routine sounds fun.

    Another day of walking with hubby. Today I made butter chicken. It was good but now I have heartburn.

    @theslightedgeforever My husband also found relief from inserts. I’m glad you were able to go walking. Too bad about the heartburn.

    Morning all, it's been a long weekend with activites. I am tired and was up a lot last night with a bad sore throat. I am tired of being sick. I didn't get an exercise it yesterday, but the day before walked all day at the OdySea and Butterfly exhibit.

    @trooworld hope your foot feels better quickly, Glad you got to go to bed early...and that sounds relaxing sitting on the porch reading.

    @theslightedgeforever Good job on your continued walks with DH. What is buttered chicken?

    @fabgeekmom I bet the gardens were pretty and relaxing. Good job on saving calories so you could enjoy desert worry free. LOL

    @trooworld Your day sounded really nice. And glad you went to bed early. That must have felt good. @cbabie Sorry you are sick. I hope you feel better soon. Your day at the exhibit sounded fun. Hi, all. DH and I went swimming. It felt good to be in the water. For lunch I had some leftover turkey zucchini meatballs that I cooked in the air fryer and put on a wrap with Dijon mustard and spring mix. I made up the chicken burgers for tonight and also made a yogurt/ light mayonnaise dressing with capers and sun dried tomatoes. Luckily we have no dessert leftover from the weekend.

    @fabgeekmom So many people I know have plantar fasciitis I wonder how to prevent it?

    @trooworld You look like you had a really relaxing day

    @cbabie this is butter chicken. Did you go to the dr about your sore throat? Maybe it's strep or something.

    No exercise. I made chicken kufta and potatoes in the dutch oven. I think I would have liked the kufta better if I would have fried them. Maybe I will air-fry next time.

    Morning all, I did't exercise yesterday and ate horrible food. I am going to walk today and do one of my online things. I need to make meal plans when I get off here and buy food. Our pantry and fridge look bare.

    @trooworld Sorry you are still tired. I hope your body recoups quickly. Funny how when we don't know what we want nothing taste like it should until we figure it out. I always go back to a scoop of PB. LOL

    @fabgeekmom your lunch sounds yummy. glad you enjoyed the water.

    @theslightedgeforever yes the chicken looks good, but don't want the heart burn.LOL. hopefully you exercise today.

    @trooworld I’m sorry you are still tired. It takes a few days to get caught up. The chicken shawarma sounds good even though it wasn’t what you wanted. @cbabie I hope you get your exercise, shopping and other things done today. I agree, heartburn is not worth it. @theslightedgeforever I have never tried chicken kufta before. I’ll have to look it up. Hi, all. It’s cold today. I worked out on my recumbent bike and achieved 2 of my Apple Watch goals. Lunch today is leftover chicken from last week that my son grilled. Dinner is pizza he made last week and froze leftovers. A salad also. We’re making ATK buttermilk ranch dressing.

    @trooworld Too bad about last night’s meal. I don’t blame you for being angry. Hi, all. Today is the first full day of spring. The high temperature today is supposed to be 68. So it is getting warmer! Today is a swim day. We are having salmon for dinner tonight. I think my son is going to grill it. He’s putting an orange marmalade glaze on it. Today is a swim day.

    Afternoon all, I had a terrible day yesterday. I was emotionally upset, tired of the "cold" crud and just didn't make some great decisions. However, I cooked Salmon in the air fryer. I had found a recipe that my family loves...(I hate salmon or any other kind of fish) But they love it and it only took about 10 min to cook. I had a bowl of cereal. LOL but ate ice cream later. I did work out today, to that is a step in the right direction.

    @trooworld I would have been upset too, but then it seems I always am at my DH lately. LOL. At least your tracked it, more than I have been doing. LOL

    @fabgeekmom Yes it is 80 here today, starts out cold then goes hot. I would like cool, then slightly warm. LOL However it's not 30, so it's a win. Orange marmalade I bet is going to be good (if you like salmon)

    @cbabie I am sorry you had a bad day. Hopefully today is better. Good job on working out. @trooworld Too bad about work stress. It happens. The chicken wraps sound good. Hi, all. The salmon was good last night and we had leftovers for lunch on a salad. My son and I went to Sam’s Club to get steaks for tomorrow and some other stuff. We’re having leftover turkey ragu that he made last week and froze. I haven’t worked out yet so I will get on the bike and see what I can do.

    Afternoon all, I didn't work out today and probably won't get to. I have to get off the sugar. I don't want it, but it calls my name and I answer. LOL

    @trooworld glad you had the office to yourself..kind of almost like working at home..LOL. I am doing better thank you.

    @fabgeekmom I love chicken wraps..I should make some. I am making teriyaki pork in the crockpot today. I hope you do get your workout in.. I just know i won't. I hate working out unless it's in the early part of the day.

    @cbabie Teriyaki pork sounds good. Eating more protein helps me to be satisfied and not overdo the sweets. Eating a protein bar in the afternoon also helps.

    Morning all, I did not exercise yesterday and planning on doing my workout after this today. Eating is not really going well, but I plan my plan and will try to work it today. Baby was up and down last night. Not sure if it's teeth or ears. We go next Friday to the Dr to have a recheck. They say as you get older you need less sleep..it's a LIE. lol.

    @fabgeekmom Yes I agree on the protein. I forget that I have my bars, as they are in my closet in my bedroom. So I may need a reminder somewhere..LOL

    @trooworld sorry about the gain, but 1/2 lb could be water retention. Or not. LOL. I think our weight goes up and down just to keep our minds busy. LOL. I had a coworker that I was glad wasn't there at times...I always got more work done and enjoyed my day. I never acquired a taste for Barley...my sister would tell you I have no taste...LOL

    Have a good weekend incase I don't get on here, they are always crazy here. :)

    @trooworld That’s too bad about the weight gain. What do you think caused it? And is there anything you can do differently this week? Beef with barley soup sounds good. @cbabie I hope you were able to workout today. I’m sure you are tired with baby getting up so much. Hi, all. I went swimming this morning and went grocery shopping afterwards. I’m looking forward to steak night.

    @trooworld How did you airfry the shawarma? Sounds interesting? No exercise the past couple of days.

    @cbabie How are you feeling these days? Better? Have you tried salmon or just imagine you don't like it? I know you like McDonalds filet of fish. :D Salmon is the only fish I like except for battered fish with chips

    @fabgeekmom How did the dressing turn out? Yaay on riding your bike I had no idea what day it was until you mentioned first day of spring and then realized Shoot I forgot my nieces day 3 days ago. That's what I get for not getting on my computer the past 3 days.

    @cbabie Barley: :D It's possible you have never eaten it in a good recipe.
  • fabgeekmom
    fabgeekmom Posts: 1,001 Member
    @trooworld Eating at the cafe might have caused water retention as restaurants always add a lot of salt. Hopefully this week will be better. It’s good that you didn’t eat when you weren’t hungry. The museum sounds like fun. @theslightedgeforever By dressing do you mean salad dressing? My son has made a Caesar dressing and a buttermilk ranch dressing. Both were good. @cbabie I hope you had a better day yesterday. Hi, all. It’s raining today so we are staying home. I’ll workout on the bike today. My son is making a shrimp stir fry for dinner tonight. The recipe is in one our new ATK cookbooks. We had planned to grill some chicken but will do that on Tuesday instead.

    morning all, waiting to get everyone up or church, so I thought I would pop in. I didn't do well again yesterday, too tired. I am planning on getting a salad after church. I love salad and go. I was hoping to go for a walk today, but it's raining here right now, we will see. I do have my treadmill, but it's hard to do with everyone home.

    @trooworld you always have fun events you are going to. I hope you enjoyed it.

    @fabgeekmom We must be on the same weather cycle. LOL. We were going to cook out too, but I like salads even better. However, I did cook hot dogs on my Ninja grill last night, they were good.

    @theslightedgeforever Yes I have tried salmon and talipia and I just don't like fish unless it's battered and fatting. LOL. I am still sick...last night my throat hurt so bad had to take tylenol. It's been 5 months and I am so over this. I go to the dentist on Thursday...I think it's my teeth, we will see...

    @cbabie Sorry you are still sick. I hope you were able to walk the treadmill. Hot dogs on the grill sound good. We don’t have rain today but it is windy and cold. I haven’t been outside yet. Hi, all. I’m tired and sluggish today as I woke up at about 5:00 and never fell back asleep. Despite being tired I worked out on my bike. The Peloton workouts make it fun. I mostly enjoy the playlist and pedal as fast as I can.Tonight we are eating at my daughter’s house. She’s making a Skinnytaste recipe.

    @trooworld Thanks for the shawarma recipe. I'll try it sometime this week. Natural history museum sounds fun.

    @fabgeekmom Yes salad dressing. The buttermilk ranch. I'm glad you enjoy your Peloton

    @cbabie It seems to be raining everywhere. I know you hate walking in a mall but put the baby in a stroller and walk on the rainy days. Now having said that, I need to get my own routine back.

    I made some airfryed cauliflower tots today. They turned out good. I just pressed them into my measuring Tablespoon like a mold. It's oblong and not round. I had some leftover filling and shaped those and threw them in the freezer. I think they will be a good go to comfort food snack if I ever need them.

    I need to return to my workouts on my own. Dh hurt his back so he's not walking or doing anything.

    @theslightedgeforever Good idea to freeze something for a snack when you want it. Sorry your DH hurt his back. I hope you get back to exercise. @trooworld Ugh! Sitting 3 hours to listen to speeches. I don’t think I can sit that long. Sorry you felt bad. Also not a good experience with the dogs. No wonder you rested. Hi, all. We went swimming and then grocery shopping. So now I am in my chair resting after lunch. Tonight I am making an ATK air fryer with ground turkey and avocado. Salad and French fries so it’s an easy meal to prepare.

    @trooworld This is the recipe for the tater tots. https://enjoycleaneating.com/cauliflower-tots-air-fryer/ Too bad about your Saturday night

    @fabgeekmom I'm so glad they invented air-fryers. Your swim sounded nice
