@Laurelfit57 I think you'll always be cool! Of course you can make modifications, I'm doing the same as I can't plank and do full sit-ups. Haha I told a practitioner today I worry about everyone because no one's happy and worried and I want everyone to get along. It IS a lot plus my roommate's at work and the farm so I'm tense all day which sucks. I just had a treatment and am headed to the tub soon, I'll definitely do deep breathing then thanks! Which tomatoes did you go with? I think going to people's houses getting them is more fun than going to a nursery (it's easier for me too since no standing in line ). Chinese food is real hard to moderate! You'll love the burgers! Haha looks like Ty wants to harvest tomatoes for you!
@DrewsAnna it IS hard to read, the person who found it posted it and I couldn't see the photo I'd taken of it either. Haha good reason to go with the photo where you can't see half of it for challenges! I have modified the full sit-ups and planks. You sound like you're doing great being back on track!
@TeresaW2024 It's frustrating how much one day can throw us off. I think you can beat Shaun T don't let him push you around! I love the photo of Joe and Maggie Mae, it's a beautiful picture.
@trooworld Haha it's hard to live with people even when you love them. Hugs I know that weigh-in must've hurt I'm sorry. I hope the dietitian isn't a jerk. Thank you for posting the question I completely forgot again geez! How can we support you? I hope you realize you're an incredibly outwardly and inwardly beautiful woman though I understand wanting to feel that way about yourself too.
HOW DOES YOUR WEIGHT AFFECT YOUR HEALTH? It doesn't in a major way but my blood sugar isn't as low as I'd like and I'm self-conscious.
@Jactop Oh no I didn't realize all the health issues you're dealing with right now I'm so sorry. LOL that colander story is priceless!
@txcritter69 What you wrote about your weight is similar to how I feel too you described it perfectly. Love your month saying!
@Veta2018 Thanks! I love reading your positive weight post that's wonderful!
@micaroo4 That exhaustion at my highest was the worst I agree.
@19shmoo69 That's true life can take a turn pretty fast.
Hi team, just got home from having a treatment and am supposed to be watching a Zoom but can't get in. What's new right? Not much else going on, roommate and I haven't talked. Planning on watering then a bath. Have a great night and awesome Wednesday! Week is FLYING!3 -
Daily Post ~ Wednesday
Track ~ Yes- Day 28
Calories ~ over
Exercise ~ 60 minutes of Zumba and 10 minutes sauna3 -
@lislisa123 - I did not know about Joey and "How you doing?" I looked it up, and laughed!
@AmbersWay - Hurray for staying close to steady1 I hope the dust settles soon!
@gemwolf110 - What a good day!
@Veta2018 - I had to laugh about the elliptical that you called a coatrack. Your puppy looks pleased. Perhaps watching you is fun.
@Katmary71 - SO sorry about the roommate not acting like a grownup. Ugh. Good for you for making sure he's out if he's a nut. Or can't pay his share.
@laurelfit57 - Austin is not unbearably hot, but tomato blossoms don't set fruit once the temps are going over about 90F. So we need to start them indoors and plant them at the very start of March.
Hurray for your tomato plants and for being on track with your food!
@DrewsAnna - I am just now catching up with today's messages. Crazy day. I'd be happy to start checking in tomorrow if you like.
I have a Garmin. I hope you like yours!
I am also doing IF. I am starting food at noon and ending at or around 8 PM. So the morning coffee or tea is critical for me, too.
@TeresaW2024 - That is a great picture of Joe. What a treasure. And Maggie Mae looks adorable.
Here's to digging deep this week!
Oh and black pepper on cantaloupe -- I will try that!
@trooworld - Thanks for the Fonz moment. (Have you seen The Martian? The Fonz gets a nod.)
How Does Your Weigt Affect Your Health?
What a great question.
It affects my socializing. I don't have so much fun with clothes. There are activities I am reluctant to do because I look bad or don't feel good doing them.
I don't like to do regular physicals (shame, and a feeling all will be blamed on weight).
For me, also fear. I worry about what is going on. Morbid maybe, but a thing for me.
@Jactop - Your date story is hilarious. Wow! Humongous is right!
5 -
Quick check-in on my day
- I kept food to my losing weight calorie goal.
- I made good food choices. No salad for dinner, but I grabbed a smoothie at a place that has one that is veggies and protein powder, no bananas or sugar.
- I got in two movement sessions: 1 long morning walk and a midday bike ride. The bike weas a big jolt of fun. I'll do that again tomorrow. And a morning walk, too!
Feeling better about goals and life today!4 -
Hey teamies ~ apologies for being more MIA then usual. This new schedule has me completely outta wack (I don't handle change as well as I did in my youth!) These new hours are exhausting. I'm so behind in everything, catching up feels quite overwhelming. Haven't been able to swim or gotten nearly enough movement, but NO ZERO DAYS and I've managed to actually log everything. Even the bad stuff! Hoping to get a better handle on things by the end of the week ... and that you're all doing better than me, lol
Weigh In Day: Monday
SW (Starting Weight): 198.2
PW (Previous Weight): 194.7
CW (Current Weight): 196.8
I'm so tired of gaining and relosing the same five pounds. I've done it twice since April! Fortunately, I've still lost a few inches so not feeling totally defeated but uuugggghhhhhhhhhhhh June has got to be better.
DISCUSSION QUESTION: How does your weight affect your health?
@ my highest weight of 280 I was depressed and pre-diabetic. Losing almost 90 pounds has not only reversed it, but I'm beginning to feel more vibrant and youthful again. Realizing how many diseases correspond to obesity has become all the self-motivation I need.5 -
@Veta2018 I love her, I have a hard time keeping up with the new generation of walk leaders, but I won't give up, Lol... it will happen.
@laurelfit57 I love your fur babes.
@AustinRuadhain Tomorrow is fine, I restarted today. Lol... I'm always trying to shift my body clock. Last year I was sleeping until 10:00-10:30 am, now I'm getting up about 9:00-9:30 am. My goal is 8:00-8:30.... I'll get there.
I had a good day today. I did day 4 of the Walk @ Home monthly plan. I had to modify it from 1 hour to 30 min. Physically, I am not ready for 1 hour. Lol... I will get there. I made good food choices today and I'm hoping for a good weigh in tomorrow. My new watch should arrive on Friday. I'm beyond excited to have something dependable. All of my exercise information is incorrect. Grrr.... I restarted the ab challenge today, and I found out I can't do one sit up. So, I did extra crunches. I'll keep trying, I'll get there.
Tomorrow, the weather is going to start getting into the 70's for at least a week, so I'm going to be outside a lot. My walk at home plan might turn into "walk outside" lol....
Y'all have a good evening, TTYL... 👱🏻♀️

@TeresaW2024 - love your pic- both your dear ones are looking good!
@laurelfit57 - I LOVE the pictures you take of your dogs. Your two are quite the characters.
@Jactop - you win the prize for the date story! Ugh!
Lisa2 -
@trooworld We do have Tajin. I will have to try it! I hope all goes well with the dietician. What are the next steps after this visit? Don’t let that number on the scale derail you. You know that after that dinner and weighing in your PJs it wasn’t an accurate weight. That is a good question. I’m glad you are making us think.
@Jactop Your discussion question answer shows how much obesity can damage every area of our lives. What a cute story about you and your husband. Never heard of someone draining pasta water in the toilet before.
Good morning! Today, I plan to work out (leg day!
), go to the office, and make an Aldi trip. I will buy some salmon for dinner and have it with mushroom risotto and air fryer red potatoes. My sister is driving four hours (which is halfway) to pick up her 14-year-old granddaughter and visit for a couple of weeks. We are all excited to see her! 
Question: How does your weight affect your health? So many good answers to this hard question.
I remember talking about my weight with my mother when I was 12 years old. It’s been a lifelong battle that I’ve lost time and time again. Many of you know that a couple of years ago I had reached the 80 lb loss with only 10 lbs to go before I reached goal. I had never looked and felt so good. Gaining the weight back brings all the self-loathing, frustrations, and sugar addictions. Obesity hurts my feet, knees, and back. I can’t fit into my closet full of clothes. Going back to 2X tops after being on the edge of wearing medium sizes is heartbreaking. But I will NEVER give up! I want that feeling back, and by God, I will get it!!

@Jactop That's a lot to deal with and a lot of reasons to get as healthy as possible by achieving a healthy weight. OMG!!! That's hilarious and I don't blame you for doing the cooking!!!
@txcritter69 Wow, that's hot! Thank you, I appreciate your support and it's good to hear a good story about WLS, most people that have commented in my real life only say anything when they can say someone had surgery and had complications or gained weight back. I feel you on the baggy shirts front. I've been having probs lately with shirts riding up in the front and my stomach showing, I absolutely hate it. You got this, too!
@Veta2018 Ah yes, I got one with a collapsable handle because I am so clumbsy, I would probably fall off lol. I hope you don't! Tajin is yummy, huh? Walmart accidentally gave me an extra Tajin that is the "Sweet and Spicy" version. I don't know how it differs from the regular version as I haven't opened it yet but it may be good on something. Thanks.
@laurelfit57 Right? Well, it takes 6 weeks for the insurance to approve and then another 4-5 months wait for surgery. So...I'm looking at either November or December. Either way, I'm going to have to skip either Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner or just Christmas dinner. Not the worst thing but an adjustment! Ty! Let your mommy plant her tomatoes! LOL That's hilarious. Probably not at the time though lol.
@19shmoo69 How insightful. Thank you for that!
@Katmary71 True! Yes, it did hurt...a lot. The dietician was actually very kind and supportive and I really needed it. No problem! I think you guys are already doing a great job of supporting me but thanks for asking. Awww, thank you. The week is flying by!
@AustinRuadhain I have not seen the Martian! But that's cool the Fonz gets a nod, he deserves it! LOL Sounds like you had a great day yesterday, woo hoo!
@reshii_devi That's great you've been logging. No zero days!
@TeresaW2024 Thank you! After yesterday's visit, they have to send paperwork to insurance for them to approve, which takes about 6 weeks. And then, there is a 4-5 month wait for surgery, which should take place sometime around the holidays! Thank you. Dinner sounds yummy. How nice to see your sister's granddaughter! I'm so sorry you are going through this but you are on your way back to goal. You got this! Hang in there!
Hi all. The dietician visit went well. I should have surgery around the holidays, this year! I can't believe it will be this year. I was thinking it would be next summer. My husband gave me "a talk" about how I need to make changes before surgery or I won't keep the weight off. Like, duh? Why didn't I think of that? :P I was mad but tried to keep it to myself. He acts like I don't think things through. I told him I am making small, sustainable changes like going to the cafe at work less and walking more and drinking more water.

Hi guys, sorry I hadn't posted my weigh in. Been very busy with kids activities and dealing with feeling sickly and fatigued. But glad to find out what is wrong, I got my bloodwork results and it turns out there an issue with my thyroid levels. I am getting more tests done and taking my health journey more serious. Almost went over 200s lbs again but didnt stop tracking and now getting back down. Not giving up!6 -

Better late than never on my intro:
My name is Jennifer and I’m a single 50 year old. I have an American Blue rabbit (her name is Kismet). I have 3 children in their 20s – oldest is my son, Marcus (granddaughter Sophie is 1), then my daughter Sydney (grandson Oliver is 3 1/2 months), and my youngest daughter Hunter (grandson Byron is 1 year & due with baby girl Brayden on 6/10/24). I love to rubber stamp (I’m a Stampin’ Up demo) and make cards. I'm an active member of my church, and also love horror movies. I have worked in Community Development at my County for 19 years.
I have always been a yo-yo dieter, but mainly up. When I lose weight, I can never seem to keep it off for longer than a year. Currently I am down 19 pounds and have 46 to go.
I am having a very hard time losing weight during this high stress season in my life. My youngest daughter and grandson are living with me temporarily (her husband is abusive) while I work full time Monday through Friday during the day and watch my 3 ½ month old grandson Wednesday through Saturday from the time I get home from my actual job until about 11pm. I am physically and emotionally exhausted, but I’m managing. And I see my therapist on a regular basis, so that’s helping a lot. I keep reminding myself that all this is temporary. Syd will find alternative day care. Hunter, Byron and Brayden will eventually get their own place. And Kismet and I will go back to our quiet existence in the evenings…for the most part LOL.
2024 Mantra: Yes, I can!6 -
I got so far behind, that I just have to jump in…but I do have to tell you Darren @19shmoo69 that I totally read, “How y’all durin’?” exactly as you meant it! Hahahaha
@TeresaW2024 – What a sweet picture of Joe and Maggie Mae Your answer to the question could’ve been written by me. I had gotten down to size medium, too, and now back to 1X. So depressing. We CAN and we WILL get the weight off and get that feeling back!
@trooworld – Hugs on the weigh in yesterday. Pretty soon this will be a distant memory! I finally got around to making that pasta recipe you shared – it was a hit! Hunter picked out the peas, but ate the rest. My DIL loved it. And it passed the Sophie & Byron test, too My arugula went bad, so I just added a handful of romaine to the basil. I couldn’t find fusilli pasta, so I used rigatoni. The large pasta took up more space, so it felt like a huge portion, too. Thank you! Here’s the recipe for anyone that wants it:

DISCUSSION QUESTION: How does your weight affect your health?
I take a low dose blood pressure medicine. When I’m at goal weight, my blood pressure is perfect and I don’t need the medicine. At 50 lbs extra? Not so perfect. I feel my heart beat way too fast/hard sometimes and it scares me. Also I am completely out of breath going up 2 flights of stairs at work. I take these steps every day (cuz the elevator sucks). It’s embarrassing.

Weigh In Wednesday
PW 164.4
CW 162.2
I'll check back in later.4 -
OUCH this hits home. So in 2012 I lost 65lb, had my little girl in 2025 lost 80lbs after her and got to a sub 20% body fat 135lbs. Started a bulk in late 2018, her dad got sick 2019, covid 2020, he died 2021 and now I'm back to my start weight from both those times.
Mentally it sucks. I feel horrid. My energy is gone I had gained. I was obese my whole life. My spartan injuries hurt worse bc now I have weight on them. Screw dating bc between my neurodiversities, my daughters, and well being fat nope nope nope. Self esteem is 0. My fitness is back to nothing.
My BP and sugar are fine but my cholesterol is borderline it stays level to my weight. So 210lb me has 203 cholesterol.
DISCUSSION QUESTION: How does your weight affect your health?
My answer: I picked this one because it hits home today. My weight is now affecting all areas of my health: my friendships (I can't go hiking with one of my best friends), my sex life (I feel so unattractive), and my general health. My arthritis in my knee is worse because of my weight and I feel like I am losing my mobility. My foot problems partially stem from my weight. It's time to do something.

And sigh I did so good loosing the first week but not sure it's gonna count for the team since it seemed to be between challenges when I joined / weighed in last week.1
-
How is everyone doing? I am doing well. Bible study was good yesterday. There was a whole lot of toe stomping. Much needed in my case. I want to remind all of you Slimpossible Teamsters that summer is right around the corner. Please remember to stay hydrated. If you are not like me then stay shaded and cool. Have a blessed rest of the day. Just so you know, you have been prayed for today.6

WEIGH-IN UPDATE
WEIGH-INS DUE NOW: @Megnolia82 @AyaTheTyga @rj230
Reminder for Tomorrow's Weigh In: @askewcr @tfelts1470 -
@gemwolf110 Great job on tracking and exercise!
@AustinRuadhain Thank you, I'm hoping he works through what he's going through, I care about him enough that instead of writing him off I'm open to talking and told others that so he'd know I'm safe to approach and won't start yelling but he has to take the next move. I definitely feel your response to how your weight effects your health I absolutely hate pics of me too! It IS real sad as those who love us don't judge us so harshly. Dang you're hitting all the check marks today go you!
@reshii_devi Happy to see you! Way to go on No Zero Days and logging that's great news! Losing almost 90lbs and reversing pre-diabetes is awesome, I wish I'd taken the “pre” as seriously as you.
@DrewsAnna Great job on day 4 of the walk plan! What kind of watch did you get? Extra crunches is a good way to go, honestly yanking up and down for full sit-ups is discouraged with back issues. I did the crunches and for the sit-ups did side crunches and I'm feeling it.
@TeresaW2024 Yummy dinner I wish I lived near you! I definitely get that feeling of loathing for gaining weight back, I felt like that too after hitting goal and swearing I'd never gain it back then was put on steroids and was up 50lbs. Frustrating as we're so much more than our bodies. I think you WILL get that feeling back!
@trooworld That's great news on both the dietitian and us supporting you I'm glad to hear that. WOW congratulations on surgery this year that's awesome! Haha I'm sure your husband is just trying to be helpful but yeah he deserves a wedgie for that! It's all those little changes that add up and make the difference then having less hunger signals after surgery will be great.
@littlebabekitty I'm glad you got answers and hope they help balance your thyroid, that definitely makes sense why you were worn out. You'll get back down I believe it you!
@vegan4lyfe2012 You're holding together a lot right now I don't know how you do it! You're an amazing Mom and Grandma. Your dish looks awesome it's on my list of ones I want to make. I'm proud of you for taking the steps even if you're out-of-breath doing it, shows you aren't done fighting for better health!
@sunflowerhippi I'm sorry to hear how low you're feeling, I understand that feeling but just so you know my first impression of you during Mac's Zooms were that you were so pretty, friendly, funny, and strong. If I was feeling shy about going to the Zooms thinking of being with you all helped and I was in a bad relationship during Covid and going through hell medically so it means a lot to me that I was able to talk to all of you. I hope we can all support each other to being happier about our health and outlooks soon.
@19shmoo69 I'm good glad to hear you are too! Good advice when it's in the 90s today to hydrate! Sending a prayer up for you too!
HI team! Long day, I went to the farm this morning and work and did a treatment and an ionic foot bath then came home for 45 minutes and headed to Sacramento for a pain clinic appointment. Thankfully next month is nearby so I won't have to go so far. Not much else going on. Have a great night and awesome Thursday!4 -
Daily Post ~ Wednesday
Track ~ Yes- Day 29
Calories ~ over
Exercise ~ none
Family is in town. Got the pre-birthday festivities going on.5 -
Daily Check-In
🟢 kitchen pushups/squats
🟢 morning walk
🟢 45 minute exercise - went bicycling!
🟢 measure & log all food
🟢 nutritarian food plan (ate plants)
🟢 Met calorie goal (not too much)
I went for a 60-minute bicycle ride. Well, sort of. I had the bike with me the whole time, but I walked up a couple of hills on the way back. I expect to sleep well tonight. It was 95F and sunny, and I was drenched when I got home.
I also, apropos the discussion about places that weight stops me, made an appt for an annual physical, as it has been a while.
@gemwolf110 - Enjoy! And give yourself credit for any "better bad choices" that you make. Sometimes knowing I did a little bit of damage control makes me so much happier after a thing like that.
@Katmary71 - I had not heard of an ionic foot bath, and I now kinda want one. Go, you, for taking good care of yourself!
@sunflowerhippi - I don't know about the deadlines for the end of last month and the start of this, but congratulations on your great results! Go, you!
@DrewsAnna - I am off to do my abs now! I was aiming f9or midday, but today was crazy.4 -
@katmary so glad that somebody thinks I will always be cool lol! I don't think I could stand being around anybody all the time like that! That's a lot of stress! I planted 5 San Marzano and 1 Sweet Million (small tomatoes). Some for just eating and the San Marzano will be got salsa in the fall:)
@AustinRuadhain to me, 90° is unbearably hot L O L. Sounds like your food choices were bang on today, I didn't get my abs done today either:(.
@DrewsAnna awww thanks, my fur babies sure keep me entertained.
I can't do situps either, they are not good for my back. Sounds like your temperature for the next week is going to be my perfect temperature!
@Cornanda I don't have a husband or kids to keep me entertained so my pups are my entertainment lol
@TeresaW2024 your dinner sounds delicious! I'll bet you are going to have fun with your great niece!
@trooworld that is exciting to even just be able to think about a date for your surgery. I'm hoping the time flies for you! Boo on having to miss one of the festive meals, but I'm sure it will be well worth it! Sometimes our loved ones can be so annoying with their "helpful advice"
I got the rest of the tomato plants planted my clematis planted. The clematis were so twisted and grown together it took me over three hours to get them untangled😜. Everything now is planted all I have to do is water and fertilize. I was planning on getting a lot done today, by the time I finished getting the planting done it was time to head out for agility. Vannie and I did two classes today, we are both pooped! I was able to stay on track with food and I got all my steps in. I was planning on going to the gym tomorrow, but now I have to finish what I was planning on getting done today. I got a phone call from my cousin last night and she wants to Overnight here on the weekend, I need to get my house cleaned for company lol3 -
@Katmary71 I'm getting a Garmin Venu SQ, It should arrive on Friday, I'm so excited.... 😃🙂
@AustinRuadhain I just did my day 2, I can't do sit ups so I substitute with extra crunches.
Hi everyone,
I had another good sort of. Somehow, I was all full of energy and the next thing I know, I'm tired as tired can. I laid down for about 20-30 minutes and then I felt better. I finished day #5 of my walk at home plan, and I finished day #2 of the challenge. I substituted sit ups for extra crunches, different types. My food was on point. I was so scared to weigh in this morning, and I was just hoping for a loss. I absolutely did not expect to see a 2 lb loss. That was motivating and encouraging.
Y'all have a great rest of your evening, TTYL.....4 -
Good morning Slims
It's foggy this morning. I had to leave my bicycle at work yesterday. I cycled to work in the morning, but there were major thunderstorms in the afternoon, so I called Rich to come bring me home. They're calling for more thunderstorms today. I'll drive to work, and bring the bike home on the back of car tonight.
I've done my strength training workout, and I'm heading off shortly for my morning walk. I hope the rain holds off, and I can walk at lunch.
Make today a great day everyone!

Thursday Ice Breaker Question.
WHAT IS YOU FAVORITE PLACE ( TO VISIT, TO VACATION OR IT MAY BE ON YOUR BUCKET LIST)
You don't have to give three answers but I'm going to.
I like visiting where I grew up.
Panama City Beach, Florida is the only vacation spot I want or need.
One of these I would like to visit Japan.3 -
@littlebabekitty Congrats on the loss and that's good you found out what is going on.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Yay for the loss! Thank you! I'm glad it was a hit and that everyone liked it! Sounds like you made it work and it looks great.
@DrewsAnna Congrats on the loss!
@sunflowerhippi I'm so sorry about your little girl's father and the gain. Hugs.
@19shmoo69 Thank you, Darren, for the reminder to stay hydrated and for praying for us.
@Katmary71 Thank you! Yes indeed, he is doing the support thing in his own way (I guess lol). Have a great day!
@gemwolf110 Have fun with your family and again, Happy Birthday!
@AustinRuadhain Wow, look at all that green! Way to go! That's good you made your physical appt. Congrats on a great day!
@laurelfit57 Yes! Me too lol. Yeah, I don't really mind missing out on one of the holiday meals, I always feel awful afterward anyway. Yes on the helpful advice! LOL I had to look up clematis as I didn't know what they were. Wow, they are beautiful! I am exhausted just reading what you did lol.
WHAT IS YOU FAVORITE PLACE ( TO VISIT, TO VACATION OR IT MAY BE ON YOUR BUCKET LIST):
Well, I haven't traveled much so I'm going to say where I hope to visit in 2025: Mexico City, Mexico. It has a lot of cultural things to do, which is my jam, and is one of the largest (if not the largest) city in the world. I am in the process of learning Spanish so I can have conversations although plenty of people speak English down there.
Hi all. I had a good day yesterday, stuck to my eating plan and didn't get any food from the cafe at work. I DID get a coffee but I will allow that.

@trooworld, I get your frustration with your husband. Joe would and still does occasionally try to “help” me know everything I need to know. They mean well, and that is what we have to remember. I’m excited for you, and of course, you have thought it all through.
@littlebabekitty There is Nothing like blood work to show us how seriously we need to take our health. Good for you for continuing to track, and of course, you will never give up! That isn’t an option, is it?
@vegan4lyfe2012 I am glad to see you checking in. That little Brayden is taking her sweet time, isn’t she? You know I’m praying for you and I know you will hang tough and get through this time of stress.
@Katmary71 I wish you lived near me, too!
@AustinRuadhain Biking for an hour in 95-degree weather is some kind of crazy! I admire you.
@laurelfit57 My house always looks its best when company is coming. I love clematis, but it is a pain. We had it at my old house, and it took over most of the fence line.
@DrewsAnna Congrats on your two-pound loss!
Good morning! I'm sitting here watching the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day ceremony. It's very moving to think about what all those young men did to preserve our country and the world. Today my niece and all the kids are coming for lunch. Mom is buying pizza for us all so that will be my main meal for the day. My fasting is getting easier but I still have to cut out the snacking. I usually play with my puzzle when Joe naps and then I will go into the kitchen to hunt something down. I’m going to buy the WOW drops that I told vegan4lyfe about and see if that will curb my behavior.
Thursday Ice Breaker Question.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE ( TO VISIT, TO VACATION OR IT MAY BE ON YOUR BUCKET LIST)
My favorite place is Savannah, GA. The historic part of the city is amazing, with its many squares of Live Oaks dripping in Spanish moss, incredible architecture, and amazing food. Joe and I were married and honeymooned there. We went back on our 10th anniversary, which was just two months before we got the cancer diagnosis, and so much of our lives were changed forever. I hope someday I will take another trip there with my sister and show her all the beauty that the city has to offer.

WHAT IS YOU FAVORITE PLACE (TO VISIT, TO VACATION OR IT MAY BE ON YOUR BUCKET LIST)
I like to visit places I grew up too. It's neat to see how much things have changed. Funny how things seem bigger. I guess it's because I was a little person back then...hehehe.
One of my favorite vacations was Gulf Shores, Alabama. I loved the mile long fishing pier into the gulf. I heard that a hurricane took it out since we've been there last. I hope not or that they rebuild. I also really enjoyed our vacation to Maui, Hawaii. We took a day trip to Oahu, Hawaii to see Pearl Harbor but didn't spend enough time there. I'd like to go back one day.
The Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls(Canada side) is on my Bucket List.
My husband is back to work at the steel mill which gives me a chance to get back to my routines. It's so much easier for me to eat well and get my exercise and house work done when he's not home. Day 3 of abs challenge is done. Tomorrow is a rest day.💪Mission Slimpossibles - June Strong!💪2 -
