Ooo you're testing me now haha
The ones I know off the top of my head is, Hydrangea, Euonymous, Hebe, Red Robin, Lupins, Vinca Minor and a Cupressus Goldcrest which is the tree in back right corner.
The ones I've had to check the labels for are Virburnum and Kniphofia and I think the Kniphofia is going to be my favourite!
So yeah, quite the selection for such a small place 😂 but that's what happens when you have decision paralysis 😂2 -
This is the Kniphofia
Apparently also called a "Red Hot Poker" after I Googled it for the image!3 -

Yes, there's a lot to choose from! You have a nice mix, and good idea to get some shrubs for long term shape in your flower bed. The red hot poker will be lovely, I'm really keen on the reds and oranges at the moment, they're so bright and cheerful.
Just be aware the tree in the corner will need a lot of pruning in that position, it would get very large otherwise (both upwards and outwards!) and cover more than your whole flower bed.
If you wanted more colour this summer while the new plants are getting established, you could buy a cheap packet of annual seeds to scatter about. I did that last year and had orange Californian poppies, pot marigolds and others I don't know the names of come up. It was very cheerful.

What I like about ThredUp is you know the brands and the things I’ve gotten from there have been high quality. It is a little more expensive than Temu or SHEIN, but I’d rather recycle.2

Oh.. I love this plant!! I have not had any luck with that here though.. and also with lupins. I think our temps get too hot, and our winters are too cold or something. But Bex.. its going to be beautiful!!3 -

1. log ALL Food
2. go to the gym
3. go for a walk.. all my exercising is not very long, but a lot of short periods of exercise I will rebuild my lung power
After the gym, I didn't get out again. .but did do a little yard work instead before the rain came.
4. concentrate on water. Helps with flushing out the kidneys, and helps with so many other things
5. Tomorrow we are going to my friends visitation, and afterward hubby and I are going out for dinner. Make good choices. Well... dinner was 2 hot dogs, so I don't know if that was the best choice. But we were planning on going to the visitation at 3, and get a rotaissier chicken at Sams for dinner. It started storming, so we just ate at home and went to the visitation at 6.. hence.. hot dogs were a quick meal.

@cschmitz110515 -- Beautiful pictures!! I love our botanical gardens here.. I have not been there for a long time. But I love the path through the woods for yours. Thanks so much for sharing such beautiful pictures of a beautiful walk.
My posts are also not everyday, and I also, am just maintaining. I lost some weight when I was sick, but it came right back on. Time for me to be more aware of my portion sizes, and also snacking.. thats what gets me the worse.
2 -
JFT, Wedn, 4/24
1. log all food Calories way more than I should be eating.. close to 1600. No wonder I am not losing.
2. make good choices. Plan is dinner with be rotaissier chicken, beans, and a baked potato.
3. watch my snacks... drink water
4. work outside.. time to plant my seedlings I think!! We mowed grass, but just not enough hours in the day to do any planting
5. concentrate on water
Water is still my biggest habit to change. I have given up diet soda and have switched to tea, so that part is good, but I still do not drink enough water. Time to get that red solo cup out.
My neighbor and good friend started a diet on Monday.. so she wants each of us to report to the other what we are eating. Her plan is 3 days chicken, and 3 days of fish, and 1 cheat day. I feel almost embarassed... I am reporting back to her what I eat, but my calorie intake has been between 1500-1800 each day. I guess maybe thats why I'm not losing.
But... what she eats I think is so unhealthy. She skips breakfast, and lunch might be a piece of fish and green beans, and her dinner so far each day has just been a 35 calorie piece of toast and 2 eggs. I told her that can't even be 1000 calories. It makes me feel like I am eating way way too much. But... as much as I also want to lose weight, I just can't limit my calories that strict. Hubby says just wait.. she won't be able to stay on it. But this lady has lost and gained so many times... she goes on a strict low carb diet.. will lose 50 pounds, only to slowly put it back on.
I'm not criticising ... at least she is able to lose the weight. Ha.. I just say fat! But, I do think my way is better, except I need to probably keep my calories closer to the 1400"? I just don't know! I am very tall, 5'11", but I am also 73 (My friend is also 73).
What do you guys do to be successful in losing? Should I be aiming to under 1400?
Anyhow, by reporting to her has been good for me. Its making me log my food better on here also, and making me a little more aware, especially if I want to snack!
Anyhow, goals for tomorrow, thurs, 4/25
1. Log all food. Aim for no more than 1400 calories
2. concentrate on water. Get that red solo cup, and put one by the kitchen sink and one in the bathroom
3. go to the gym. I skipped today thinking I would walk, but we mowed grass instead
4. work in flower beds. Debating on planting my flowers. We are suppose to have severe weather friday and sunday.. ha.. I don't want my babies ruined by a hailstorm!
5. work on quilt
6. get back on here tomorrow. Be accountable. Rememeber the 5 pound challenge!Name is Joan. Age 73; 5'11". Been married 47+ years, 2 children, 2 grandkids ( + 3 step grandkids)Weekly Weigh-ins

@mytime6630
Wanted to reply about your neighbour. I think it's great you can both do that! And I do kind of agree with you that she is eating too little and that isn't healthy.
But I can sense from your post it's made you wonder alot about your diet and what you're doing.
Don't compare yourself!! Remember everyones journey is different! And she will not be judging you because your diet is so different to hers.
You've lost weight before doing it your way aswell!2 -
Love the daffodil pictures! Daffodils and tulips are my favourite flowers.
@mytime6630 I agree your neighbour's diet seems very low in calories. I would have thought you would be okay on 1400 calories, that's what mfp has me on at the moment to lose slowly, but I'm 5'5". I should really drop down to 1200 but I find that difficult to keep up for too long.littleblackskirt wrote: »

Well I've had enough again. Too many biscuits, all the time. Yesterday we had another blow out and we bought 2 packs of donuts, a share chocolate bar and a pack of smarties.
I think I had 2 do it's yesterday, ash had 3. And we both woke up feeling like rubbish.
So we got up today, done and exercise which neither of us were motivated for but we did it!
And Im now having egg and one piece of toast for breakfast. Had to have white bread though as we ran out of brown
So my goals today are no biscuits and eat properly! No more rubbish today! And try drink more.
No more caffeine until later on as I have pre-workout before my exercises and that has more than enough caffeine 😂😂2 -

Guess I didn't post goals yesterday. Just as well, I would have missed most of them.
Today is bring your kids to work day at the chemical plant. It's for 3rd - 8th grade students whose parents or grandparents work here. The do science experiments in the morning, have lunch with their parents, then take a tour in the afternoon. The 3rd-5th get to go to our science show after their tour. Leo and I do the show, it is great fun. We do a few things here that we can't do at the schools. Today I get to do all of the pyrotechnics experiments, and a few chemical reactions. I look forward to this every year. One year Leo caught his hair on fire and I had to tap it out with my hand. The kids got a kick out of that, but it scared me. He still does the flaming bubbles experiment, but he's a little more careful these days.
Will go to mom's after work. Nothing much planned this evening. Probably finish watching Solo; Star Wars movie then watch some hockey. We are going to Star Wars Trivia next weekend so I'm "studying". We are also dressing up. I'm going as Leia and Tim is wearing a Jabba the Hutt t-shirt.

I don’t know if I trust my scales, but I’ll keep going at it.
@mytime6630 - I agree with Bex we shouldn’t compare, I wouldn’t like checking in with someone that was that strict.
I personally am just being more aware right now and have my MFP calorie goal set to 1200, I am usually over by 300 or so each day though. I’m 5’5”, I know you are taller than me.
I’ve given a lot of thought to my evening snacking over the years and I don’t eat breakfast to allow myself some calories to have for the evening. I never liked breakfast though even as a child. I don’t feel well if I eat when I first get up. I usually eat around lunchtime, supper and then in the evening.
I wonder if evening snacking is something that we started doing as electricity came into being. My grandmother never snacked in the evening not a bite, she said that they were in bed early growing up and it wasn’t anything she ever needed. I wonder if we fight the biological need to go to bed earlier by eating. I know if I’m tired I tend to eat more.
I need to start eating healthier again. I love Coke and potato chips. I seriously could eat those for lunch and be happy with it and for years of my life I actually did that.
I have had chips and Coke in the house on a regular basis again and I need to stop!
More I wanted to comment on, but forgot to take notes.
