Good morning!!
I miss you guys, sorry I’ve been MIA.

Easily the busiest week of the year for me. Just everything happening in the span of a couple days.

I have not tracked this week. Ugh. I will do it today, I promise! I have also not done my walking because I was so busy. Monday is a holiday so I have a nice long weekend to look forward to

Good morning,

@laurelfit57 I was saying That Diesel is like Ty when it comes to new things. He is very Skittish, he will sneak up on it and start nipping at it if he is really unsure about it. The rain has finally giving us a break. I am going to get able to work with Diesel outdoors. The trainer did help me in the fact the working on his basic commands will help build more confidence. So I am going back to the basics. I also learned that my pup just might be allergic to chicken and that might be part of his anxiety. So I went home and looked at all of his food and treats and it is all chicken. I am changing his food from chicken and brown rice to lamb and brown rice. Still looking for a good training treat and snacks.

@Katmary71 I understand. It sounds like you are going to have fun with this practitioner. I hope in the end you find a way to learn from her.

Thursday Ice Breaker Question: What is your favorite or most used emojis?
🎉😂❤️

The sun is out and so am I. Have a great day folks🤠

@19shmoo69 Hm I'm on my desktop so can't do them but I do a heart or the metal sign the most.

@Veta2018 I'm glad you've gotten in good grandson time!

@megnolia82 Did you track today? I hope so! I honestly have been slacking at tracking a bit too.

@trooworld Oh I agree with you on the 100% emoji too 100% lol! That's some yummy food and I bet that .2lbs will be off soon.

@txcritter69 Thank you. Luckily the practitioner who's helping me isn't the one teaching me office stuff, I'm trying to sit back and let that part of things work out on their own. I'm glad the confidence will help Diesel, I hope he's feeling it soon! Wow the chicken issue is interesting I hope you're able to see a difference soon if this IS what's going on.

@19shmoo69 Beautiful rainbow! I think I faintly see the second below?

Hi team, long work day! I got an allergy shot and went to the store as the practitioner I work with the most has a birthday and I wanted to get a card for everyone to sign. I didn't make it to the farm like I was hoping but got to work early and the nutritionist/micro current practitioner was teaching my roommate and I some nutrition information then she'd asked me to come in and help with two of her patients today. The first one has CRPS and MS I've become friendly with in the last month or two, I was asked to share my improvements and helped treat her with micro current. I HAVE been wanting to learn micro current and have been taking classes when I can but Yvonne is telling everyone I'm her intern now so I guess I am? I appreciate her teaching me. It's educational just physically challenging for me to do though I DO really enjoy helping people. The second woman she's suspecting she has CRPS or neurological issues so she had me in to share my story and I stuck around and assisted then spent time with her afterward talking. I think hearing my story helped her let down her guard and see things could be worse then she got a lot off her chest when it was just the two of us. I'm not sure what's going to happen with the clinic but the team there today was great and it felt how a functional medicine clinic should ideally be. I didn't get time to eat and had a snack when I first got home but need to make dinner. Have a great Saturday team!

@Katmary71 What an awesome career you are developing! Being able to help people with complete empathy since you understand their pain so well. Is this a career move that you want or are you just going to continue as an “intern.” I’m excited for you!

@trooworld I am not sure exactly why the father is so upset. His son denies it was him, and perhaps he feels that should be the end of the discussion. What made it worse is that the father is our current youth leader, with his son, the girl, and her brother. I found out that a fight between the boys almost happened. So, I don’t know, but I think they have left for good. It's a sad situation, for sure. 😕 What a fun event! I can’t wait to see pics of Queen Daisy.



@Good morning! It’s another rainy day here. Seriously, when is it NOT raining? 🙄 My diet and exercise are going very well, and I plan to keep it up today. My sister and I are competing and have vowed we won’t drink until we lose 10 lbs. Our goal is June 27 so we can make a party out of the first presidential debates. Yeah, we are strange girls who love their politics. 🤣 I have get some things lined out for work now that we lost our children's coordinator. I was so happy that I didn't have to deal with that stuff, and now it's been dumped back on my lap. I also have some strange charges with the church bank statement and will have to go into the bank this week to figure out what that is all about. Ugh, sometimes I dream of quitting and being a regular churchgoer who doesn't deal with the inner workings. Have a good day!

Thursday Ice Breaker Question: What are your top 3 favorite or most used emojis?
I don’t think I can choose just three since I’m an emoji lover! My favorites are: 🙏🤣🫤and 🙄. I dream that Facebook will add the eye-roll emoji someday. I would use the heck out of that one! 🤣

@txcritter69 - On Chewy you can search for chicken free treats- it helped me a lot because the chicken allergy is a pain and you can only read so many ingredient lists.

I'm following along with all of you and thinking of you.

I hurt my hip about a month ago and this week finally decided that it needed rest, not tough love. A very low step count all week- can't wait to see my Fitbit report.... I've started doing some gentle stretches now. I still did upper body weights. I'm actually missing exercise. And this makes me think about carrying around this extra weight and what it is doing to my body. And that yes, it could get even harder to get the weight off if I'm injured. Kind of down in the dumps about it. Things will get better.

This week was probably my busiest of the year with the combination of work and home things all happening at once. So the fact I made it through without a gain is pretty great.
I need to go back to losing for this week ahead. Two weeks until my gala event.

Sorry for late

@megnolia82 Great job on ending such a stressful week with a loss!

@trooworld Poor Daisy we've all been through not fitting in something right?! It sounds like such a fun day, a few drinks isn't too bad nor is the fries especially if the rest of the day was good. Daisy looks so adorable! Love all the photos that's so fun!

GO MISSION SLIMPOSSIBLES IN SECOND PLACE! @Digger61 @AyaTheTyga @sleepygirl79 You're all doing amazing, congratulations top winners! Keeping rocking the members in the green too team!

@Veta2018 Just dawned on me now that you're at goal we can move you to the goal zone with @FushiaKat and @micaroo4, does that sound good to you?

Hi team! The lavender festival was great for talking to vendors but the “farm” had some lavender plants (not a lot I have more varieties at home) with none for sale and the only lavender for sale wasn't from farms. Some of the soap and lotion-makers had lavender scents but that's not the same so I didn't get any while I'd expected to come home with lots of plants. I did get some stickers for my water bottle and some veggies and fruit from a produce stand. I drove by the clinic coming home and a practitioner who is leaving was there loading her car with her stuff, I stopped and helped out then came home. She took the library so I'm a little worried I helped her steal from the clinic now, I'll find out in the morning for sure. I made skinnytaste's sweet potato black bean bowl, I love that recipe. Headed outside in a few to harvest some stuff, have a great Monday!

@19shmoo69 Well, it must have helped your confidence to be able to fix your cars. When I became the church secretary, I didn’t know anything about what I was doing. I was barely trained and had to learn as I went. I’m still learning, but it helps my confidence whenever I accomplish something I’ve never done before. Yikes on your toenail! 😳

@trooworld Awe, Daisy, and all the other pics are so cute! What a fun thing to do with dogs. I wish we had a zoo where I could get some exercise, but the closest is in Atlanta, which is well over an hour away. That dog park looks amazing! I love the mural.

@Katmary71 I love the smell of lavender! I have the best spray I use every night in our bedroom before bed. It is a very relaxing scent. Yikes, I hope that practitioner wasn’t stealing! Did you find out?


Good morning! Yesterday was Joe’s 81st birthday. My husband is so old! He had a very good day. The whole church sang happy birthday to him and I put his birthday on my Facebook page where he received a ton of birthday wishes that made him so happy. I made chicken parm with lots of pasta and then surprised him with a DumDum ice cream cone, which is his favorite. He went to bed really happy. Today, I have a bunch of church work to do, since losing that couple has left a huge hole of things that need to be handled. I just sent the wife a very long email with many questions. 🫤 I also need to mop my floors, which I’ve been putting off way too long! I will work out and eat very little so I can have a loss tomorrow. Have a great day!
