I've got to keep it moving. I can do this!!
Let's go get it!

Thursday Ice breaker question

What is a food combination people eat or drink that you just can’t get behind? (For example, dipping french fries in Frosties.)
This is probably a very regional thing, but it's called poutine. It's french fries, with cheese curds, smothered in brown gravy.

@Katmary71 trivia sounds like fun. I could use a game night. I hope your tea and rest have you feeling better. Thanks for reminding me that I have stuck it out while managing chaos.

@19shmoo69 pickle dip sounds good!

@AustinRuadhain I have been avoiding grocery shopping. I go once a month for the extras and send someone for the daily needs. It helps.

@laurelfit57 send me your snow! I need more cold weather in my life. 😂

@trooworld that drink sounds less than desirable and I am someone who likes weird combos.

Question of the day..a combo I can’t get behind battered and fried junk food.

Well my appt showed that my labs for my heart and sugar are good. My 24 monitor was also ok. He’s waiting for me to see neurology (which I know has its issues, I saw my results already) and see if they say it’s related. As long as my heart is ticking well, I feel relief. Also, every dr tells me to reduce my stress 😳 I am a mom, please tell me how to do that? My kids are great but daily keeping up can be hard.

So, I am really trying to fix some of my diet issues. Today I started with warm water with lemon and honey. Omelette. Coffee with a bit of pure maple syrup (no white sugar, baby steps) and 2 cups of water.

My kids are cooking lunch today so I will have some pasta but have a salad prepped to have first.

I may try to sit on my bike for some minutes too.

Have a great day.

I had to go look up what on earth Frosties was, in this context. Imagine my surprise!

Anything involving mayonnaise (or the kind of white "salad dressing" that comes in jars). It has been a trial for years. One orders a sandwich at a restaurant, only to find that they have helpfully added mayo without saying so. Or I remembered to ask them to omit it, and they forgot. My husband loves the stuff. We laugh about it. More for him!

Oh, and I'll take my share of the iced coffee! I learned to like that from my grandma. She used to drink it on her back porch in the summer.

@Megan_smartiepants1970 @Veta2018 @Katmary71 @trooworld @vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you for the warm welcome ladies. It's good to be back. I'm glad I'm on the same team as you all.
@trooworld You look awesome in that dress those earrings are fabulous.

Hello Everyone! I'm Divya. I'm joining the April challenge. I joined this group last year and had lots of fun. Things got hectic along the way and I missed a few days and the days turned to months and so on.
This year I'm on a mission to lose 38 lbs. by October and look my best. I'm looking forward to having fun with you all along the way.

@19shmoo69 What is in the pickle dip? Do you dislike cold brew too? I love cold brew and used to make it often but it took a lot of coffee. I got into Starbucks iced shaken espresso with their blonde roast plus it’s only 150 calories, the blonde roast doesn’t have that burnt taste to it and it’s really good.

ICE BREAKER QUESTION- Fatty meat and chicken wings, I hate getting globs of fat in my mouth. My brother makes great ribs where the fat is broken down and I like those but if a gob of fat gets in my mouth I want to throw up. As a kid if we were eating fatty meat I used to fill my mouth then run to the bathroom and spit my meat in the toilet. My Mom was horrified when I told her how I used to do that!

@askewcr You’re doing great keep getting it!

@laurelfit57 The micro current machine helps a lot with pain, I’m still trying to get longer results and it does help align the spine when it’s imbalanced. I’m still learning on the rest though. It saved me prior to surgery by getting me out of fight-or-flight which was hard to do otherwise as my BP was always really high. Yikes be careful if you go walking with that weather! Have fun with the littles!

@trooworld Thanks! I haven’t heard of Michelada, where have I been? I can’t wait to hear how volunteering goes, I love you doing that!

@AmbersWay You started the day off great. I’m glad all the test results are coming back mostly good. Reducing stress is a tough one especially with kids. I’ve been using monkfruit in my coffee but some maple syrup or honey sounds good.

@TeresaW2024 Oh I hope the turmeric is helping, I’m glad to hear it’s feeling a little better. Hope you get all the cleaning done!

@AustinRuadhain Interesting do you feel the same about light mayonnaise? I’m not a regular mayo fan but like the light version. Another day of all green, you go! LOL I’ve been doing side lunges with a dumbbell and upped sets and my thighs are hurting today too! Just once on the squats is smart or else you wouldn’t want to go in your office after awhile.

@Divya365 I’m glad you’re back and on our team again too! We look forward to cheering you on as you strive toward that goal!

@ninyagwa I hope the kids have a great time with the Easter egg hunt and movie! Oh my gosh I’m with you on cilantro it is disgusting! It’s the only herb banned from my herb garden. Do you have the “soap” gene too?

Hi team! Had fun playing trivia, @TeresaW2024 My team was all lawyers then one’s wife who was a teacher and myself, I was the only one who knew a Real Housewives question to get us to 4th place! I was only helpful with music and trashy television, lol, I knew that would make you laugh but I was happy I knew the answer. I’d thought of not saying anything but I’m too competitive to let it go. The one who was a teacher will hopefully be coming to the garden club next weekend, we spent most the night talking of gardening. Today was busy, back is healing well and my surgeon wants me to stay in PT I think in the hopes my legs and feet can improve. The holistic practitioner I’m seeing is out-of-town and offered to let me use one of her machines while she’s gone so I picked that up at her house then evaluated a yard for a project with the charity in May. Have a great Saturday team! I have to get this house clean, my Dad's spending the night on Easter plus I have a cake to make and will get my final done tomorrow.

No Zero Days
- Good with healthy food (made @trooworld ‘s Turkey sweet potato skillet with a pumpkin instead of sweet potato) and exercise.
