DISCUSSION QUESTION: What’s a challenge that you’ve recently overcome?
I just finished weeding. I'm not a fan of gardening, but I also don't want to come home to a pack of weeds. Definitely a first world problem. I pulled weeds, put out the ceramic frog, the garden gnome, the lady head (into which some petunias will be planted) and the hummingbird feeder. I hope to attract hummingbirds and not wasps. Just saying.

Hey all
so I missed the question “have you ever met a celebrity?” And I would love to answer!
The biggest celebrity I ever actually met was Weird Al. I went to his concert (well I’ve been to several of his concerts) with a friend who happens to have worked in radio and music for a long time and knows one of the guitarists to quite well, so Jim “Kimo” West left backstage passes for my friend and the other 3 of us who went together. We got to go backstage after the concert and hang out with the band. We briefly chatted with Al who was super soft spoken and polite before he was rushed off to do his paid meet and greets. But the band was amazing and we visited for quite some time. Just normal
People living out of a tour bus really.
I also was on a flight from Miami to San Juan PR in 2011. We boarded and walked through first class to get to our (economy) seats. My sister sat down beside me and said “did you see the rock?” And I’m like “what?” And she says “Dwayne Johnson. the Rock. He was sitting in the last row of first class. He had his head down and headphones in, and there was a huge security guard sitting beside him in the aisle seat”. Well, I noticed the security guard but not The Rock. So I spent the rest of the flight trying to discretely sneak up to the first class bathroom but they kept the curtains shut and I never made it. And then he must have dashed off the plane and skipped the baggage claim because we never saw him.
Turns out he was filming Journey 2 the Mysterious island I believe. So that’s my closest encounter and I never even saw him hahahaha just breathed the same recycled air for a couple hours 3 -
Guys this is awesome. I finished supper and I’m a touch over calories for the day because I have been starving! Like sneak to the car to find the emergency crackers in my glove compartment at lunch time starving.
After supper I have just been thinking of wanting to eat something else so badly. I want dessert. I want a treat. I want something….. but I wrote my much too long celebrity post and I think I’ve made it through the craving. I think lll be ok. I am actually not hungry, my stomach is full. My mouth just wants something else so badly.3 -

Today I went to get bloodwork done and I stopped at Costco and picked up a Rotisserie Chicken, I had that with Summer Squash, Yummy! It's that time again, it's time for the Annual Wellness Exam, Yuck. I got stressed out, that guy was just fishing around in my arm. I hate that.
I'm enjoying my new phone that I got about 3 weeks ago, the same make just an upgraded model. I got Yellow, special online color only. It was easy to set up and I got a $750 rebate for my old phone.
I got some Blueberries and Strawberries today. I eat a lot of fresh fruit.
We watched Dune II last weekend, it was so long it took two nights to watch, I think there will be a Dune III, but I could be wrong. I did enjoy the Movie. My husband didn't want to pay the rental fee, but I begged him. We don't go out or eat out so I think we should be able to splurge now and then.
Here's to another week of maintenance ♥.3 -

Tomorrow weigh in reminder: @Divya3650 -
@megnolia82 Oh no hate losing posts! Good call you can get through this. Loved reading your famous people stories how funny. Woohoo congrats on beating the craving!
@trooworld My pain could be related to it too, I've had problems with my last box of pain patches sticking so that's some of it as well. Hope you're able to ditch that migraine today.
@TeresaW2024 There used to be a trampoline at work, I wish it was still there to try. Earth and Owl looks fun I checked her out! LOL on Maggie, having dumped a lot of bark I know how my hands ended up looking! Glad the boyfriend is gone for your niece.
@reshii_devi Great job on the burns, you're doing awesome!
@txcritter69 Thank you. That's a serious streak, wtg! I hope Diesel and the trainer get along well.
@micaroo4 Not a weed fan either, glad you got it done!
@FushiaKat I love those rotisserie chickens! I love fresh fruit too glad you found some good berries. Doing awesome acing maintenance!
Hi team! Work was good today but slow. My patches in the last couple weeks aren't sticking well which makes my pain worse. I'll be having another ionic foot bath tomorrow, hopefully it will help some. I'm headed outside to water then get in the tub. Have a great night and Wednesday!

@Katmary71 I am so sorry you are having a bad pain day I hope the hot bath gave you some relief ❤️.
@trooworld my day went well after dinner, which seems to be the pattern right now. Ty's obedience class was funny. All the dogs there are 1+ years old and medium to large size. Three of them were reactive (one was literally screaming and two barked continually). Ty was worried at first, then just wanted to be friends, ½ an hour in she was done, too tired so she just laid down and watched everything🤣.
I'm so sorry about your migraine, UGH! Hope you are feeling better.
@TeresaW2024 that dark brown mulch is the bane of my existence! Ty loves to eat it and it makes her sick. I'll bet Maggie is going to look so cute, please post a picture. Good news on your niece's boyfriend, that has to be a relief! It's so good she has your family to support her.
@Txcritter I will keep my fingers crossed for you with the trainer, that is what saved Vannie. Let me know how you make out, I remember having A LOT of homework every week, it was well worth it. Good for you for your streak with your step goal!
My day went well until about supper time. I was so hungry after agility that I stopped at McDonald's, I don't especially like McDonald's but I was starving and it was there. I think I will pack something to take with me.
SO TIRED tonight! Hope everyone had a great day!
I took Ty in to Chapters this afternoon and she was actually able to lay still and watch the world go by for about 5 minutes:).

Yesterday started okay with an early morning workout that felt tough, but thought it was only because of all the work I'd put in the day before. WRONG! By noon realized I was actually sick and ended up in bed all day sleeping it off. Barely moved, logging only 2993 steps, 1.79 miles. Feeling slightly better today but still low energy. Not sure if anything will get accomplished today.2

@txcritter69 We have had the same weather. It’s supposed to be sunny tomorrow, so I’m hoping to get my car washed. I pay to have unlimited carwashes, and I’m thinking that is a huge waste of money during thunderstorm season.
You are doing great with your step goal and getting in 140 g of protein. I hope Diesel likes his trainer.
@megnolia82 Congrats on pushing through that feeling of wanting something to eat! How often do we all do that when we aren’t really hungry at all? Good for you! 🎉🎉🎉
@FushiaKat Getting a new phone is always fun! I just bought a new phone case called Loopy that I’ve wanted a long time. It sorta made me feel like I got a new phone.
@Katmary71 That’s not good that your patches aren’t working. Can you get ones with stronger meds? I hope the foot bath does give you relief.
@laurelfit57 Yikes, at least Maggie doesn’t eat the mulch. She gets it all stuck in her fuzzy little tail. She will walk the fence line munching on grass and then come pukes it up if she gets too much. Most annoying! 🙄
@reshii_devi So sorry you are sick. Take it easy and I hope you will feel better very soon.
@trooworld It was nice to have my clean dog back. She was so tired and grouchy all evening and put herself to bed at 8 pm. Poor baby! I’m glad you are feeling better.
Good morning! Last night, we finished the ice cream my sister bought on Mother’s Day, and we talked about how we wouldn’t indulge anymore until we see real results on the scale. She is the type that is either all in or all of her plan, so she is trying a three-day water fast to get back on track. Whatever! 😐 I’m just going to work out and eat the foods that I should eat. For dinner, I’m making salmon and a salad. I have a staff meeting tonight, which could be hard. We had an incident where one of our youth boys was caught by one of our youth girls trying to peek at her in the transom window of the bathroom. He is in full denial, and she is certain by his bushy eyebrows that it was him. We are a small church, and these two families are VERY important to the running of the church. I’m just praying they can all figure out how to deal with this and move on. Teenagers!! 😬

Good morning,
@micaroo4 I don't care for weeding either. I hope you don't attract wasps too. I love watching my hummingbirds feeding that are so cute buzzing around chasing each other. I actually was hit by one a few yrs ago. I step out the door right into its flight path. It didn't even phase the little thing. LOL
@megnolia82 Your Rock post reminded me of when John and I were in Austin on 6th St. As we were walking around We noticed a lady walking with a bunch of men around her down the middle of the street as she was walking the crowd got bigger and bigger. I then realized that she was Pink, but the crowd was so huge by then we just kept doing our thing.
@FushiaKat I hate when they fish around looking for a vein. Like that doesn't hurt. We started Dune ll also but hubby fell asleep watching it and we have not resumed it yet.
@Katmary71 I'm sorry to see that you are having a bad pain day. I hope that you are able to find some relief.
@laurelfit57 Glad Ty obedience class went will. Diesels meet the trainer did not go as I would have hoped. More below.
@reshii_devi I am sorry you are under the weather. I hope you get to feeling better.
@TeresaW2024 Yay! The boyfriend moved out. I hope Maggie enjoyed she day at the groomers. Oh no on the teenagers.
@trooworld Glad you are doing somewhat better I hope your migraine continues to go away. Great job on track.
Today is going to be another nice day for Diesel and I to get our walk in. Tomorrow it is going to rain again.
John also has an appt for acupuncture for his neuropathy. This will be his 2nd treatment. He said the last one seems to help some.
Ok, so the meet the trainer did not go as I would have hoped. She does not work with behavioral issues but did give me some trainers who do. So I am back to looking for a trainer. She did give me some insight on how I can help him with building his confidence.
Question: Can someone tell me how to post pics in the news feed of MFP? I am stumped at figuring that one out.

@TeresaW2024 salmon yummy. Praying for the teen situation.

@txcritter69 I use an android app on my phone. In the main news feed there a place to "share something " . To the right is a picture of a camera. However if you tap on the "share something" space it opens into a screen that has an add photo bar at the bottom.
If you're trying to post in the Slimpossible group I have to use a browser as the app won't let me.1 -
@laurelfit57 Thank you. Packing something to eat sounds like a great idea for next time. Ty is such a gorgeous pup! Is that a library event (Chapters)?
@reshii__devi Oh no I hope you feel better and that energy comes back. How frustrating you just posted what an awesome streak you had too!
@trooworld Thanks! Grr I hope that lingering migraine is dust soon! A scramble is a great choice for being at the cafe, I hope you're patting yourself on the back for allowing that cafe day AND picking something healthy.
@TeresaW2024 Haha let your sis do the water fast and egg diets alone right?! That's smart of you do things you know work. Yikes I hope those two families can work things out.
@txcritter69 Thank you. Enjoy the walk today, stinks about the rain tomorrow! I hope John does well with the acupuncturist. I hope the referrals from the trainer to ones who work with behavioral issues work out. To answer your question what kind of phone and do you come on with the app or website?
@littlebabekitty Ugh hope you're out of the rut and unbloated soon!
Hi team! Ended up at work extra long today, hard to explain but there's changes possibly coming to the clinic and if it happens my roommate and I were offered the chance to stay on and try to make it work with the nutritionist who has been real kind to both of us. A different practitioner (used salesman personality) keeps cornering me and let me know today she needs a room to rent hoping I'd let her move in (she helped my roommate get a desk home yesterday and hung out for a bit). It feels like if the current owner bails who is her roommate she's trying to get in with me for some reason so she's not out of what happens at the clinic. The nutritionist had a class after work so I just got home, headed outside to water the garden and clear my mind a bit. Have a great Thursday friends!0 -
@trooworld When we went to Vannie's agility practice last night, Shauna who is Vannie's agility trainer, and is also the owner of the training facility and Ty's breeder talked to me about Ty's class. Apparently she was watching Ty's obedience class. She told me that she almost came and pulled us out of there, she was concerned that because Ty was so young, those loud dogs might be too much and she was afraid of a fear response. Then she realized she had fallen asleep🤣.
Daisy might enjoy perusing bookstores with you! Hoping your migraine cleared off. What a great idea to have a meal in the cafeteria once a week! I have never had a scramble, I have been tempted but always found something else on the menu lol
@TeresaW2024 seriously, why do dogs have to eat so much grass that they make themselves sick!? I have heard so many explanations over the years I don't know what to believe. I like your plan for food much better, I couldn't even fast for five or six hours I don't know how your sister can do it for three days, yikes! That sounds like a tricky/awkward situation at your church, hopefully all gets worked out.
@Txcritter69 I am sorry that your meeting with the trainer didn't go as planned. It can be so challenging to find trainers who are actually good with reactive dogs. I think when you find the right trainer, it will make your life so much easier with Diesel ♥️.
@katmary chapters allows dogs here, it is a great place for socializing young pup because it is so quiet. Sounds like you have politics going on at work, always so challenging!
We went for the dinner theatre brunch today, tracking was definitely a challenge and I did not do as well as I did last time. The production was Grease, it was excellent! I did get the dogs out for a couple of good walks. They are ripping up all of our streets and sidewalks in our neighbourhood to lay down new ones. There is so much noise from the breaking of the concrete and the big machinery. I played outside with the dogs for most of the afternoon yesterday on my front patio, Ty could not actually see what was going on but could hear it and by the end of the afternoon she didn't care. We went out early this morning as they were starting up the big equipment. I asked a couple of guys it would be OK if I took my puppy close before they got it started up and moving. They were so sweet and accommodating, they turned it down to a low idle and let Ty investigate.
My plan is to get to the gym for a spin class in the morning to try to help to work off some of this brunch lol

Feeling much better teamies! Yesterday was a bust but surprisingly back on track after a slow start today. Early morning stretching, light low-intensity lunch working out the kinks, and 90 minutes walking with weights this evening. Amazed to be ending with another 1K🔥and more than 17,000 steps. 3

@megnolia82 - Thank you for sharing your journey. You have been doing great at finding distractions from late night eating. All those small accomplishments, that's your true success story.
@txcritter69 - I like the pictures of the turtle, squirrel and you with Diesel.
Welcome Carson my first Grand-baby.

@txcritter69 Bummer that the trainer wasn’t what you needed for Diesel. I hope you can find someone to help him. Neuropathy is awful. My mom suffers from it really bad in her hands and feet, but she would never do acupuncture. I hope John feels better.
@littlebabekitty, I’m sorry you haven’t been feeling well. That never helps with our weight loss. Hang in there and try to figure out how you can get out of your rut. ((hugs))
@Katmary71 Ugh, you must be strong and not let that practitioner move in! She sounds like someone you would not like to share your private space with. I didn’t even know you already had a roommate.
@laurelfit57 Yeah, I don’t know if my sister will do the whole three days. But she is one stubborn woman when she sets her mind on something so she might. That brunch sounds fun! I love Grease. Oh my gosh, Ty is the bravest! My Maggie would have never gotten near that big equipment. She freaks out with all the big trucks, trailers, and machinery. Actually, she just freaks out over anything new and different. 🤣
@Veta2018 Ohhh my goodness, Carson is precious! Congrats grandma!!
Good morning! Well, last night’s meeting was upsetting. The father and stepmother of the boy I talked about in my last post are part of our staff/leadership meeting. They weren’t there, so there were just four of us when, about ten minutes later, he and his wife walked in and turned in their keys to the church credit card. She is a staff member in charge of organizing the volunteers for all our kid's ministries. He is a deacon and head of the men’s ministry and event committee. You could feel the anger of this guy, and I could tell he was holding himself back from complete rage. It’s a huge deal if they are really leaving and will leave such a big hole in our small church. My poor new pastor is so upset. I mean, the man just got here five months ago and has already lost two prominent families. He is calling the guy today, and we will see where we go from now. Also, I'm praying we don’t lose the family of the girl, or we really will have an issue. ☹️In other news, I did well yesterday with my eating and exercise and plan just to repeat it today. I want to wash my car but big storms will be here the rest of the week, so why bother? Have a good day, everyone! 🙂

Good morning,
@littlebabekitty It does suck when it comes to bloating. You got this! Next week will be better.
@19shmoo69 Thank you, it is so crazy how you can't use your phone to post pictures here in this group. But it is the only way you can in the feed. I never even thought to look on my phone. LOL I just assumed you couldn't.
@Katmary71 The rain is holding off this morning so I'm hoping to get a walk in if I finish up everything this morning. John's acupuncture went well. I tease him about wearing earrings in his ears. LOL He has 5 little needles in each ear. He said it does help him. I have been thinking about doing it for my neuropathy. You are so brave letting people move in with you. I have a hard time letting my kids move back in (back when they need to.) lol
I just don't trust like that. I guess I have been burned too many times. I am looking around for another trainer, I have a few in mind.
@laurelfit57 I have a few other trainers in mind I just have to figure out which one to try next. Diesel is just like Ty when it comes to new things. He is
@Veta2018 Thank you, Congratulations and Welcome to Grandmahood!
@TeresaW2024 Thank you, this is John's second time with the treatment. We are still trying to figure this all out. But it is working and it is great that he has less pain. His neuropathy got worse after going through chemo. I hope things work out for the church.
So I weighed in this morning and I am back to my weight before the camping trip. Now to get in below by Sunday. Off to get my walk in and work done around the house.
Have a great day!

Tomorrow Reminder to the following: @Cornanda @davors19 @trooworld @TeresaW2024 @ninyagwa0 -
@trooworld Ty is actually the opposite of chill. It is so mentally exhausting for her to be still that she ends up passing out. At home, she is literally always moving. I can see she is getting tired by her heavy eyes, I have to put her in a crate so she can be still and sleep. Night before last I started tethering her by her bed so she didn't have a choice, poor thing was so anxious, it took her over an hour to actually lay still and 1.5 hours before she slept. Last night was only an hour from time of tether
until she slept.
I used to feel that same guilt when i would do stuff with one not the other, Mom guilt😉.
I did get to the gym! I seem to remember that your migraines get worse at this time of year? WOW good for you only going 79 over. With pizza around I don't think I would be as good
@TeresaW2024 I used to tell my daughter that she was stubborn about somethings. She corrected me apparently they are just very determined😅. Ty wasn't too brave when we were out and the bobcat started to pick up some roadcrush, my word that was noisy! Yikes! It sounds like that meeting was so uncomfortable. It is so difficult when there are kids involved, we never want to think our kids could do any wrong. I'm glad you did well on your eating and exercise after such a stressful day. Good for you!
@txcritter69 I think part of your response to me got cut off. What is diesel like when he is exposed to new things? Good for you that you are back to the weight before camping!
I was able to get to the gym this morning and do spin class and it is very evident that I have not been consistent at the gym for the last few months, it is exhausting me lol. Busy day after that with appointments, dentist, Physio, then driving my mom around. I seriously just want to have a nap but I haven't been home much today so the dogs need some exercise.
Hope everybody had a great day!
A picture for your viewing pleasure. My dogs play tug a lot! Ty Has just come up with a new move, very interesting. If Vannie has had the upper hand for too long, Ty will turn around and try to sit on Vannie's head all while holding the tug. Vannie is on to her now though and moves quickly out-of-the-way😆

@laurelfit57 The theater brunch sounds fun, I love Grease and the soundtrack to it. LOL those are some big machines for Ty to check out!
@reshii_devi Yay so glad you're feeling better and are back on track already!
@Veta2018 Congratulations on Carson!
@tfelts147 You'll get it off no worries!
@trooworld I let the guy who cleans the wellness clinic move in, he's renting a room from me and we're discounting it in exchange for him helping around the house. I don't recall what I said yesterday but even though we get along great it's been weird getting used to male energy in the house especially when the last one was my jerk ex-boyfriend. Now that I know why I'm feeling uptight I'm working through it okay though. Very interesting on the storm, I listened to this before the storm, you may find it intriguing:
https://youtu.be/X55ik2uoK30?si=C7SwX9FaBrObYtrB
@TeresaW2024 LOL I agree I DON'T want to share space with her! I mentioned this is Chris's post but a 25-year-old man who cleans the clinic in exchange for treatment and I have become friends and I let him move in, he's renting my extra room and helping around the house. He's been easy to get along with and has been great about helping it's just weird having someone here. He was relieved I didn't want to let that practitioner move in! Oh no I'm so sorry to hear that about the family leaving. I hope things can be worked out for the best.
@txcritter69 I wish I didn't need the roommate but I can't pay a lot here and it's not fair for my family. It IS hard getting used to though. I'm so glad the acupuncture went well, it's worth a try especially if he has good results. Congrats on getting back to your pre-camping weight!
Hi team! Had a long day, that same practitioner came to hang out with me all day with the guise of teaching me stuff but she was so manic and going off on tangents that she was hard to follow. I'm feeling better from my last couple treatments which is exciting! Have a great Friday friends.2 -
