@TeresaW2024 Yeah you might not want to follow everything but maybe you can take something from it. Pizza and beers sounds like a fun way to celebrate your sister's birthday. Good luck wiht the DietBet!
@tfelts147 Way to go, Tim!
ICEBREAKER QUESTION: What are your favorite songs from your teenage years that you still rock out to when nobody else is listening? Hmmm...I will rock out to Prince until the day I die and I am not afraid of anyone seeing me! LOL When I was 16, I was driving in the snow at night and my car slipped on the road and I went into the ditch. Prince's Controversy was playing and I remember thinking I would be embarrassed if anyone found me like that. I don't think I was embarrassed to be playing Prince, it was more the volume I had it at and just being in the ditch lol.
@Divya365 You are welcome! Thank you. I love visiting with the seals. They are so beautiful. Good luck with the no-sugar challenge! You got this!
@vegan4lyfe2012 I hope you like it! Thanks. Time does fly! Midnight and 1am? You are a night owl for sure! LOL I love the Cure and listen to a lot of hip hop. And yes, who doesn't love The Beastie Boys!!!
@Cornanda I had one of those weeks too, I feel the same way. Hugs.
Hi all. I felt like I did a lot of things right this week and I still gained 0.8 lbs.
It just reinforces why I am trying to qualify for surgery. It's so frustrating. Anyway, I have an art opening tonight which I have to be at. I'll try not to let this gain ruin my day.

My phrase for the year: "New year, new me!"4 -
"@Cornanda, I love your song choices! I had a Kool and the Gang album and love "Celebration". My dad sang "Chantilly Lace" all the time.
I'm with you on losing and gaining the same pound. I'm hoping to turn it around this month. We will see! 🫤
@trooworld, you and I are forever Prince fans! 💜 I'm sorry to hear about your weight gain. I know how frustrating it can be, and I hope you get the surgery you want so badly. I also hope you sell lots of art!
Good morning! I'm a little hungover, but not too bad. My sister and I discovered this new beer called Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy. It's light and lemony and so good! We also had cheesecake that her work friends gave her and chocolate cherry cupcakes that her daughter made. So, I'm going to have to watch what I eat today. We have a church potluck this Sunday with a Mexican theme, so it's one of those weeks where I'm praying I can at least not gain weight. Have a good day!
Thursday Ice Breaker Question
What are your favorite songs from your teenage years that you still rock out to when nobody else is listening?
As a true child of the '80s, it's hard to narrow down just a few. Anything and everything by Prince owns my heart, especially "Purple Rain." Another all-time favorite song is "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" by The Clash. And of course, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" by the great Cyndi Lauper."3 -

Thursday Ice Breaker Question
What are your favorite songs from your teenage years that you still rock out to when nobody else is listening?
Well, I don't care who's watching or listening, and I was rockin' out since the 60s so I've got a BIG songlist and bands that spans the decades and genres.

WEIGH IN UPDATE
WEIGH-INS DUE NOW: @ninyagwa
Reminder for tomorrow weigh-in to the following: @865jessica @Digger61 @gemwolf110 @tammymccrady6278

Wow lots of good posts.
I love the questions.
I love my community in Istanbul. We’re around 200+ westerners just in my neighborhood. It’s a very active group. We have meets ups at the park weekly, kids activities weekly, outings, potlucks and most of all they showed how important your expat family is. They took care of my girls, helped with my husband, supported me and my son while we stayed with him in the hospital. We were never alone. It was the most comforting feeling. Plus the country is full of historical places, gorgeous scenery and amazing people (once you get out of the touristy areas).
Music from my teenage years…hmmm
Motley Crue Don't Go Away…
Alice Cooper Poison
Eurythmics Sweet Dreams
Tears for Fears Shout
So, I did a ton of spring cleaning today. 12.5k steps. So much stairs. So many squats.
My youngest finished her future doctors courses with Harvard. She really enjoyed it. She got accepted for the Nasa courses but I am not sure about that. I’d like to keep the kid on earth. 😂
Thanks for you all supporting my sappy mom posts. Starting to collect my sons things and preparing him for being on his own. He did come with the news, that he may be able to skip from officially signing up for the volunteering through the university and he can personally go to doctors and ask to shadow them. So, I’m like pick a specialty, I know many. Ive been to many! I’ll start calling them. Which means I may have him more in the summer. Yay!
His sisters will be thrilled, they have fun together.
That’s my update for today. I’m tuckered. It was a long day. I’ll be back later for more. I did read through the posts. Sending hugs, prayers and cheers.

@megnolia82 Sounds like a wonderful place to live!
@trooworld I think I've seen that on YouTube, good information. One of my feed friends goes through the recipes and makes them, I look forward to hearing about what you make. My co-worker really liked the farm, he went back today without me.
@TeresaW2024 The whole TC thing fell through, it was moved to a cafe then that practitioner flaked and the owner stuck around instead of going to her niece's funeral so no one's happy with her now. Have fun with your sister for her birthday! It's my boss's birthday and we're going out tonight too. I hope you win that diet bet! I'm with you about most people being decent and wanting to take care of loved ones.
@askewcr Are you off the steroids now? If so your BS will keep going down until it's back to normal.
@19shmoo69 I have a billion songs I could name but loved hair metal, thrash, rap, pop, freestyle, some punk, funk, and R&B. Old Metallica, Suicidal Tendencies, and Prince would be specific bands.
@Divya365 With grow bags I have 5 gallon, 10 gallon, and 15 gallon. I'm not too thrilled with the 10 gallon ones I just got as they're wider instead of deeper. I've switched around to using the 5 gallons for peppers and herbs and bigger for everything else. What all do you have in grow bags? I think 15 gallons isn't needed for tomatoes, I read somewhere to go bigger but 10 is big enough. I hope you do great with the no sugar challenge!
@Artemis_2024 I hope today is a better day for you!
@vegan4lyfe2012 Let us know which asparagus recipes you try and like!
@Cornanda I was just dancing to Kool and the Gang the other day, woohoo!
@trooworld That's very frustrating about the gain, I'm sure it's not actual fat and it will be better next week so stay strong and enjoy yourself tonight.
@TeresaW2024 Yum all that dessert sounds amazing!
Hi team! I had a board meeting last night, store and stopping by the farm this morning, then went to a ribbon cutting ceremony at a business that helps the charity a lot. I made it BACK to the farm for seedlings to bring to the garden club tomorrow morning and to borrow tools for Big Day of Service. I was invited to go out to dinner with the work gang for the boss's birthday so that's up next. I'd been planning to relax tonight as tomorrow's the garden club then Big Day of Service was moved to the afternoon. My nephew's birthday will take up most of Sunday don't even have time to do the board minutes. I stopped for a card and balloons for the boss, next up is watering and getting everything for tomorrow lined up to go in the car in the morning. The restaurant tonight is sushi, I was bedridden when it became more popular and don't really know what to get but will figure it out. Have a great Saturday!2 -
Hi everyone.
I ended the week mostly strong. I’m under calories for the day which I know is a win but it doesn’t feel good enough. I have to trust the process. Last week I dropped 6 pounds so quickly. This week I’ve eaten as well or better and even upped the activity and the scale isn’t really budging.
Weekends are definitely a challenge for me to maintain good eating habits so I’ll have to take it one hour at a time!
Heading to sleep early tonight so hopefully a great sleep will help set the tone for a great weekend!

@TeresaW2024 Yes! Thanks. I only had one piece on display but I think it might sell by the end of the month, there was a lot of interest last night in it. That beer sounds delicious. I also discovered something last night: peach fizzy wine. It was refreshing. Sounds like a challenging week.
@AmbersWay Istanbul sounds amazing. Wow, your kids are incredible!
@Katmary71 That's good your coworker liked the farm. Thank you, I hope it's not real but I've been gaining and gaining with rarely a loss. You have been very busy lately, haven't you?
@tammymccrady6278 @gemwolf110 @865jessica Congrats on the losses!
Hi all. I did not feel well all day: a little dizzy and nauseous. I think it was a migraine coming on. I took migraine medication and felt better by the time we left for the gallery at 4:30. I had a great time at the gallery: I had several deep conversations about my art piece with total strangers. And some of my friends came. I'm glad I felt well enough to go. I almost didn't go. Today, I need to get groceries this morning before my chiropractic appointment. I have some household stuff to do as well. Tonight, I'll work on a care package for my best friend who is having a hard time at work.

@AmbersWay Just saw your post in between mine yesterday sorry for missing you! It sounds like you have an amazing group in Istanbul. I'm so glad you've had them for support, they sound amazing. I hope you'll be able to have your son longer!
@megnolia82 I hope the weekend goes well for you! There's definitely times like that where you can lose a lot then a little the next week, it makes it frustrating as far as making sense to us goes. Hope you got some good sleep that always provides a more solid base for everything else.
@trooworld That's great to hear all the interest in your piece last night! Yep balancing everything right now with working more is a challenge. I'm so glad you made it to the gallery, sounds like a great night for you! That's very thoughtful to send you bestie a care package to cheer her up.
@gemwolf110 May the Fourth be with you! Good plan on checking and tracking! It IS easy for it to get away I agree.
@reshii_devi That's an amazing photo congratulations on your hard work paying off!
@19shmoo69 Aw congratulations to her! Good luck not crying that would be a hard one!
Hi friends! It didn't stop raining until about 4, when it was still pouring at 1 I'd decided to reschedule and made all the calls to cancel. The sky is totally clear now at 6 and the sun's out, figures right? I did the garden club first (think my big mouth got me nominated for the secretary position when they realized no one was taking notes and I had out of habit and offered to type them and send them in- I'm considering it but my plate's real full right now) then the neighbor who came with me today was having problems with her plantar fasciitis so I went with her to the open house at the clinic and introduced her then hung out for about 5 minutes to make sure she was in good hands (and took a pic with the Mandalorian) then headed to the church for the lunch and rally plus our charity had a booth there to explain what we do. That part was fun once everything was rescheduled though I honestly prefer to stay in bed during bad storms as my pain levels go pretty high. I made Beef and Barley soup and while it was cooking in the Instant Pot got in a bath. Today was mostly good food-wise aside of eating one of the birthday cupcakes that was leftover, I dropped them off for my nephews on the way home. Got my PT in too. Next up is getting all the minutes done while the meetings are fresh in my head. Have a great Sunday team!4 -
Hi everyone!
Had an amazing day today. I mowed the lawn which takes about 90 minutes with my new push mower. Then I spent 7 hours in the pond cleaning it. I’m sunburnt and chilled from being soaked all day but it’s a good sense of accomplishment. And I didn’t snack since I was in the water and busy
Weigh in tomorrow and I didn’t do anything today to blow it so I’m hopeful it’s a good one!5 -

@trooworld Yum to the peach fizzy wine! I would so drink that!
I hope you are feeling better.
@reshii_devi What an incredible transformation in such a short time. Good for you, and keep it up!!
@Katmary71 As usual, you have been super busy. I hope you have a relaxing day today!
@megnolia82 90 minutes pushing a mower is great exercise! Good for you!!
Good morning! It was a rainy night, but it seems to have calmed down now. This morning is church, and right afterward, we will go over and help decorate the Fellowship building for our Mexican theme potluck tonight. We will have a fun photo backdrop and a pinata for the kiddos. I’m making a taco pizza for the event, which is just crescent roll dough with taco meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. My sister is making a chorizo queso that I’m very excited about! I’m challenging myself to get at least 7000 steps this week. I got over 8200 yesterday, but that was with jumping on the trampoline, so I am not sure what I will end up with today. My goal is to lose 10 lbs this month, so I'm hoping to not go too crazy tonight. Anyway, I’m off to get dressed. Have a great day!

I am ok with this. I know it is mostly sodium. The last few day were not healthy when it came to food choices.
I did keep up with my May challenge of 2 miles every morning with Diesel when it was not raining. If I could not get out and walk I did 500 step over my stepping goal of 7000.
We are heading out today to go camping so not sure how the step goal is going to work out for today and tomorrow with the weather. We are going to run into rain this afternoon when we get there and it is supposed to continue into tomorrow. But then we are to have fair weather the rest of the time.
Have a Blessed Sunday

@megnolia82 Love hearing you had an awesome day! Wow you got a ton of stuff done!
@TeresaW2024 Thank you! Enjoy the potluck that sounds like fun! All the food sounds delicious and fun. Hm how do count the jumps on the trampoline is each bounce registering as a step? That's a big goal for the month I hope you achieve it!
@txcritter69 Great job on the challenge and doing well, I'm sure Diesel enjoys it too! It's so satisfying seeing all those lines over the 7000 line that's awesome! Have a wonderful time camping, hope the rain doesn't last long.
Got all my meeting minutes done last night and today's yard time until I have to get ready for my nephew's birthday. I'm going to a nearby rose sale at a garden club member's house in a couple hours too. Have a great day team!1 -

I think after my huge loss last week this was just catch up. I am admittedly disappointed. I just have to keep in mind consistency is key.
On to the next week! Let’s go!
