@sunflowerhippi – I’m so sorry about your daughter’s father. I’m ADHD and my brain will hyper focus on everything negative and it’s all downhill from there. I will forever remain viciously independent.
@19shmoo69 – Toe stomping? What does that mean? I’m so Midwestern and I’m feeling that’s a Southern thing? And thank you for always praying for us
@Katmary71 – I really hope your roommate works through his issues quickly for your sake. Just remember that HE is in control of how he feels and you can’t fix him. Are you still liking the ionic foot baths?
@AustinRuadhain – I’m panting just thinking about all that exertion during a 95F day!
@laurelfit57 – I hope you have a great visit this weekend with your cousin!
@DrewsAnna – Nice day yesterday!
@trooworld – Sorry your husband is too “helpful”. Nice vacation destination!
@TeresaW2024 – Yes, that baby really IS taking her own sweet time! Thank you for the prayers. Savannah sounds beautiful.
Still no baby. I take Hunter to her OBGYN appt at 2:15 today and they will schedule her inducement. She’d like it to be Monday, so hopefully they will accommodate her. Her husband is beyond awful…he’s fighting the PPO and they scheduled the hearing for this coming Wednesday. He knows she’s about to give birth and won’t be able to be there. Hunter’s lawyer said this will look very unfavorable on him. Poor girl can’t even enjoy the birth of her daughter.
I’m trying to deal with all the stress as best as possible. I bought another watch yesterday since my FitBit bit the dust several months ago. Not sure if it’s the watch or MFP that is quirky, tho, cuz it’s giving me way too many exercise calories. Like yesterday I had just over 2,000 steps but it gave me over 500 calories. I’m just going to ignore those. I was doing so good yesterday with food choices…all whole foods and healthy. Then at 11pm all I could think about was peanut butter. I probably had 2 servings straight out of the jar. Put me at maintenance calories. I’m glad I didn’t go completely hog-wild, but still. I feel like I’m never going to get over this mental hump. Guess I’ll get this posted and go eat my broccoli and tater for lunch. Don’t forget to hydrate!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE (TO VISIT, TO VACATION OR IT MAY BE ON YOUR BUCKET LIST)
Ever since I was little, my dad would periodically take a Friday off from work and we’d pack up Thursday evening and head up north into Canada (via Sault Ste. Marie). I love travelling up there. I also love the Upper Peninsula. So many beautiful waterfalls and greenery. So Canada would be my favorite.
My bucket list trip would be the Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort in the Finnish Lapland. You can stay in a glass igloo under the Northern Lights. Perfect peace. I feel like it would be a spiritual experience.
Can you tell I prefer colder weather? LOLs

@vegan4lyfe2012 hopefully I can explain it in a proper way. Have you ever had someone accidentally step on your toe? Sometimes it barely hurts and it doesn't last too long. Then sometimes it feels like it crushed your toe and it lasts for days. So in a verse by verse Bible study we get chatting about how it affected them at that time and how it affects us now. We dig into the good and the bad. Those times where something is shared and you can feel the conviction and you're like Oh My That's Me. That's a toe stomping. I like the toe stomping as it keeps me in check. In most cases it causes me to change my way of thinking.
On a side I can say sometimes it's tough being one of (and sometimes the only) guy(s)/husband(s) in this group.8 -
Thursday Ice Breaker Question.
WHAT IS YOU FAVORITE PLACE ( TO VISIT, TO VACATION OR IT MAY BE ON YOUR BUCKET LIST)
I love Acadia National Park, and Cape Cod National Seashore. Both are near enough to drive, have great bicycling, nature, hiking, paddling, and swimming. And shopping. And food.
I also love Littleton NH and the surrounding area. Lots of places to explore, not only while I'm there, but all along the drive to get there. And then there's Polly's Pancake Parlor.... yummo!5 -

@AustinRuadhain Great job on all those green dots! Thanks you'll have to try an ionic foot bath sometime it's pretty cool!
@laurelfit57 Yum those are tasty tomato varieties, I have a San Marzano (I think, not sure if it made it to full size now but I have similar ones too). I'll try it in salsa if I do figure out which it is. Sounds like an exhausting day, you got a lot done!
@DrewsAnna Hope you love it! Congrats on the 2lb loss!
@micaroo4 Yikes biking to work then it pouring isn't good, I'm glad Rich was able to get you. Great job getting in the workouts!
@19shmoo69 I've heard great things about Japan I hope you go sometime.
@trooworld Mexico City sounds awesome! Coffee from the cafe isn't bad way to go on fitting it in.
@TeresaW2024 Have a great time with your niece and the kids!
@Veta2018 Great job getting day 3 of abs done!
@vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you! I DO like the ionic foot baths, she wants to try some cranial sacral therapy soon which I'm interested in. Wow Hunter's husband sounds awful I'm so sorry. You're under a lot of stress you're doing great just being at maintenance! Wow that view is incredible!
Hi team! For my favorite place I'd pick my aunt's house on Lake Tapps in Washington, the backyard is on a lake with Mount Everest in the distance, I'll include a pic when I post this. It's more because of family but there's a lot of fun things to do in Seattle too.
Not much new, worked out, went to the greenhouse this morning, then work. I helped a practitioner make a video she can look back on to edit before she does an upcoming podcast, we're doing a more professional one tomorrow. It's weird she comes on real strong but when it's not directed at you (total used car salesman) and she's just talking her enthusiasm for healing is really beautiful. I've encouraged her to make videos as I tend to run from pushy people and I think it will show her more compassionate side and give people like me a chance to see her in a different light. Roommate was at work today and we got along well, I'm ready to just let it all go but he is saying stuff like how people do things to trigger a reaction out of him and I'm sure he's thinking that with me but when I'd talked to the manager it was a comment as I saw red flags and was concerned but hadn't labeled him yet so as far as I go I didn't even expect him to hear about it nevermind react. Funny as he'll say he KNOWS what something means because of his rough past but if someone is projecting that's wrong and their fault they paint everyone with the same brush and is very unfair to him for them to not realize he's different from everyone else. Yeah I know, that's why I haven't tried to talk yet! I have a board meeting at a bar tonight, haven't decided what I'm getting yet but off to look at the menu. My kidney stone's acting up again so not sure if I'll have a drink or not. Have a great Friday!3 -

@trooworld I have to admit, by the time I was posting yesterday my brain was done. I will post a picture of the clematis. I picked the fastest growing and best coverage. At the front of my patio there is no privacy. My cousin and his wife lived in Mexico City for five years. The only thing I know about Mexico City is that it is beautiful but the crime rate is super high. I guess they always had a driver/security who took them around to work and the kids to school. So if you go be careful :-).
@TeresaW2024 the fence I am putting it on is 6 foot tall by 6 foot wide, it can't really go anywhere else. What went on with those young men and women was so crazy. My dad was 17 when he joined up as a paratrooper. So glad the fasting is getting easier , I doff my cap to you! What do wow drops do?
@Vegan4lyfe that is crazy that there is no baby yet I feel like she has been due for the last two weeks. What is a PPO? Wow! That is a lot of exercise calories.
@katmary71 after I bought the tomato plants, I read that they can grow from 6 to 8 feet tall! Did yours get that tall?? I think the tallest ones I've ever had have been maybe three or 4 feet.
Sounds like things with your roommate are still complicated. I have never heard of a boardroom meeting in a bar L O L, that should be fun. You made me go look at my calendar when you said I have a happy Friday😜. Beautiful picture!
The weather here has been sunny the last couple of days but the wind has been insane. I want to just be outside enjoying things, but since the puppy is afraid of the wind and the things that blow around in the wind we don't go much further than the patio. We had our second agility foundations class, Ty did much better with her Halti. The first 3/4 of the class there was a lot of our puppies focussing on us and remaining calm, Ty did OK tonight! At the end of class everybody got to go through the tunnel, Ty had to wait her and was last in line. She was not impressed that she had to wait and the others got to go. The others have never been through tunnels before so they can be a bit worrisome and the other pups with convincing slowly went to the other side to join their handler. Ty came through the tunnel so fast, I didn't even see her come out🤣.4 -
Daily Check-In
🟢 kitchen pushups/squats
🟢 morning walk
🟢 45 minute exercise - stairsteppuing indoors (gicing the legs a break before I go cycling again tomorrow)
🟢 measure & log all food
🟢 nutritarian food plan (ate plants)
🟢 Met calorie goal (not too much; I did eat about 100 of my exercise calories but I am still heading to bed hungry, and I have to fast until about 3 PM tomorrow because of getting a physical)
@laurelfit57 - Here, 90F will feel like a cold front come July and August!
I did get abs done yesterday, and am doing them before bed again today, so Day 2 of the challenge. Woohoo! And also, phew.
I am envious of your plants!
I hope cleaning up for company goes well. That can be nice, as long as it's not too much of a fire drill.
@DrewsAnna - Hurray for the 2 lb loss!
I am a day behind you on the Abs Challenge, I think. Anyway, I am off to do them while I run a bath. I still have tired legs form cycling yesterday.
What is your walk at home plan? Is it the one I see online?
@19shmoo69
Thursday Ice Breaker Question
I got to visit Europe once, and want to go again.
Also, my husband would love to go to Japan, so hopefully we will do that!
@trooworld - Thanks for the thumbs up! I am kinda worried about the physical. I hate going in with my weight up, but it feels like time to check. And it does feel, with eating well and getting lots of 3xercise, as if I am heading the right direction.
@TeresaW2024 - Since you have some interest in D-Day, you might look at the Band of Brothers miniseries. My husband and I loved it, and then watched the The Pacific. Both were amazingly good.
I am interested because I had two grandads in that war. One was at D-Day +1. I never thought, until I watched the miniseries, about what that was like for him. He still came in through the beach. He headed inland and led a team that built temporary airstrips for the Allies.
My other grandad was at Okinawa and Iwo Jima (hence my interest in The Pacific).
@Veta2018 - Hurray for having reached a rest day in the Abs Challenge! O hope you enjoyed your day today.
@askewcr - Hurray for holding steady!
@vegan4lyfe2012 - Thanks for the sympathy re. the heat. It was my first long midday workout since the summer heat
Hunter's husband is fighting the PPO as in the insurance company? he sounds awful.
By the way, I feel you re. peanut butter. I currently can't have it on the house. You stopped at maintenance calories, so be proud. I might not do as well if I had a jar in my house at a bad moment! (I know from experience.)
The Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort in the Finnish Lapland. Wow. I have a new place I want to go!
@micaroo4 -- Oooh, your vacation spots sound great! Especially Cape Cod. And they sound cool.
@Katmary71 - I have headed down the internet rabbit hole of trying to figure out ionic foot baths. They sound lovely.

@TeresaW2024 That's true! Thank you and yes, indeed, I have! That's good the fasting is getting easier. How long are you fasting per day? Hopefully the WOW drops help. Savannah sounds amazing, wow.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Ah, it's okay, he means well (I guess!) lol. That husband does sound awful, it must be so stressful for all of you. At least you are tracking so you know what that PB does to your cal budget! Thanks for the reminder to hydrate. The glass igloo looks amazing!
@Katmary71 I really hope we can get there next year. I should clarify it was an oat milk matcha lavender latte but it was oat milk so not as bad as the real deal! Your aunt's place sounds wonderful. What a beautiful view. I tend to run from pushy people as well. Your roommate sounds like he has a lot of problems to work out for himself. Sorry about your kidney stone acting up.
@laurelfit57 No worries! Will the clematis cover the front of your patio and give you some privacy? Yeah, I know the crime rate is really high but I figure it's no worse than going to NYC or a big city...I just have to be really careful and not advertise that I have money lol (not that I do!). I don't plan on taking public transportation while I am there, only Ubers, to stay safe. BTW, my tomato plant is about 4-5 feet right now so I wouldn't doubt they get to 6-8 feet! Yay, Ty! Way to go! So, Ty likes to go through the tunnel?
@AustinRuadhain Another great green day! Woo hoo you! I think you are doing the right thing by going ahead with the physical.
Hi all. Not much going on here. I got breakfast at the cafe at work yesterday (a scramble) but I allow it once a week as a treat so I don't feel guilty. I have a mammogram appointment today, I hate those as it always hurts my b00bs but it's necessary pain. After that, we have to take Daisy back to the vet for a recheck and I am going to ask the vet to show us how to put in the Flonase. Have a good day!

Is this accurate?

@vegan4lyfe2012 I’m so sorry that Hunter’s good-for-nothing husband is giving her such a hard time. My niece is going through similar things with her boyfriend, who is constantly harassing her while not giving her a dime to help with his kids. As the one paying her rent again, I hope to never lay eyes on his sorry butt, or my good Christian behavior might take a big hit. Know what I mean?
Yeah, don’t eat those exercise calories that MFP gives you. That is only a good idea if you are a serious athlete. Ugh, the peanut butter demon! Maggie has to have pills given in peanut butter every day, and I’ve found myself more than once helping myself with a spoonful of that creamy yumminess. I need to buy a brand I don’t like and then stick her paw in it. I would love to stay in a glass igloo and see the Northern lights! 
@Katmary71 Your roommate is a big project, and you are very kind, but sometimes people with damaged pasts are hard to help if they don’t actively seek help for themselves. Just protect yourself! Ugh, sorry about the kidney stone. When I was a kid, we lived in Oregon and Washington, and I have fond memories of that area and its incredible beauty.
@laurelfit Wow, imagine the 17-year-olds of our day doing what your dad did. We will never have a generation like that again, I’m afraid. The WOW drops are an incredibly strong peppermint. Fasting can give you terrible breath, which is how I learned about them. They are also very good for appetite control because one drop is all you need.
@AustinRuadhain I was watching some of the actors from Band of Brothers yesterday on the news. I will have to find it because I think Joe would really like it too. Wow, your grandads were part of such amazing history. I would be interested too if I were you.
Good morning! Well, my niece didn’t make it over yesterday. The kids weren’t cooperating, and getting them all dressed and in the car was way too stressful for her. We will go to her this weekend. Not much going on today except some more torture on my body with this weight-lifting program. My poor tushy is in some major discomfort from all the squats and lunges I did yesterday. The good news is that I had no knee pain. I really feel that the rebounding has helped me so much. Have a good day!

Is this accurate?
Haha, very true. I had an experience like this in high school. I lost 80/85lbs at the time ( which unfortunately I later gained back and then some ) and I was in denial of my weight loss saying to myself I was going to wait until I lost all the weight before buying new clothes. Well, I sat at the desk and I felt my pants slide down barely hanging on my bottom and I had to quickly get up and push them up. Lol. I think that was the wake-up call I needed to buy smaller clothes.5 -
@19shmoo69 – I absolutely understand the toe thing now…thank you for explaining it to me!
@Katmary71 – That view at your aunt’s house is GORGEOUS!
@laurelfit57 & @AustinRuadhain – Sorry I didn’t explain. A PPO is a Personal Protection Order. He’s been abusive and controlling and the PPO allows him to be arrested if he comes near her or contacts her.
@laurelfit57 –OMGoodness Ty is hilarious!
@TeresaW2024 – The Holy Spirit convicts me daily before I open my mouth and say anything about him.
In explanation, Hunter’s husband is abusive and controlling and she was granted an emergency PPO – Personal Protection Order. This means the judge granted it without a hearing, based on her report. Her husband is fighting the PPO and demanded a hearing. However, the hearing was scheduled for this coming Wednesday and Hunter is scheduled to be induced on Monday. He knows there is zero chance of her being able to make it to the hearing. He is refusing to grant an extension, knowing she can’t be there. And if she isn’t there, the judge will be forced to grant his reversal. His lawyer presented Hunter’s lawyer with the option to revoke the PPO and instead have a mutual No-Contact Order. This is basically them just agreeing to stay away from each other, but with barely any bite. Hunter told her lawyer that is just another example of him blackmailing her so he gets what he wants. Not sure what Hunter’s lawyer will do. They are meeting this afternoon. Poor girl can’t even give birth without him stressing her out. The only good thing is that the PPO is still in effect right now, so if he tries showing up at the hospital, he’ll be arrested.
On a happy note, we’ll have a sweet little lady Brayden Lynn either Monday or Tuesday
Drink your water, peeps.

@TeresaW2024 I think we must have posted at the same time yesterday, did you see my question to you? That's too bad your niece didn't make it over. How's your wrist?
@Lislisa123 Congrats on the loss! That's funny about your weight loss and the pants. Thanks for sharing!
@Maryirisfroehlich @annachangesagain @gemwolf110 Congrats on the losses!
@vegan4lyfe2012 I'm so sorry about Hunter's situation. That has to be so stressful for all. HUGS.
@Cornanda Way to go.
Hi all. I got my mammogram yesterday. It always hurts and I don't know if it is because I have more than most in that area or if it hurts everyone lol. The lady made me feel comfortable and we were laughing and joking so it went by quickly. This morning my husband and I are going to the zoo to walk. I never get tired of walking at the zoo. After that, I will come home and eat something and then go donate platelets at the blood bank. I've never donated platelets so hopefully it doesn't make me sick. I've tried donating plasma in the past and it does make me really sick. I can do whole blood and red blood cells and not feel sick. We'll see.

@trooworld I think we often post at the same time. I fast for 18 to 19 hours most days. I would like to build up to at least 20 hours, but as long as I'm lifting weights, I'm not going to stress about it. My wrist is completely healed! That graphic is hilarious!! It's been way too long since I've had a mammogram. I really should make an appointment.
Good morning! My poor body is hurting everywhere from this weight-lifting program.
Today, I have another leg day, and I will see how much I can do. I might jump instead. I'm excited because my two little great-nieces are coming to spend the night. The almost four-year-old got busted feeding her five-month-old brother ice cream last night. My niece sent us a picture of a very happy baby! Have a good day! 4 -
@laurelfit57 I'd love to see your clematis too they're so pretty! I haven't tried growing one yet. Yes tomatoes grow super tall, this video will show you how to handle it. Mine get at least 10ft tall with the heat here, there's benefits to topping them aside of needing to stand on a ladder to get them. I have trellises with a hill behind them so I'm always nervous I'll lose my balance standing on the grow bags and fall down the hill. Mine look exactly like his come September, I did this at the end of the season last year but want to try earlier this year:
https://youtu.be/zLVPXoYSJEs?si=kKYz_Wr9APnOopQ1 Your old tomatoes may have been determinates, indeterminates are vines and are treated different. If this video isn't clear enough on trimming suckers let me know and I'll send you another link for that.
@AustinRuadhain Rocking those green checks woohoo! How funny the ionic foot bath is pretty neat I went down a rabbit hole reading about it too as my schooling was very scientific-research based and I read up on if they actually do anything, the practitioner who does them used to work for a famous chiropractor and does a few other things when they're happening but it's all around detox. She does cranial sacral therapy too which I want to try, she told me about how C1 of the neck can be off just with how we're born and can make a huge difference in health just by adjusting called Nukki (or something like that) and I'm going to look into finding a chiro who does it. I use a weekly pain patch which is an issue with that and the machines that warm the body up as it causes the patch to not distribute medication as measured as it dumps more meds into my system (in other words I feel GREAT after the sauna as it dumps more meds because I'm hot but then it runs out before I change it which is hard to handle especially working as it's during the week and I feel awful). If the sauna works as it says it would clear meds out of my system and until I'm able to go off the patch I don't want that to happen. She adds salt to the water but aside of that it's looked different every time, the first time it looked like someone's photo who was a drug addict and the last two times my kidney's been hurting and it had white stuff in the water which is supposed to be infection. The water and warmth feels good enough on my feet that it's worth the price even if it's not working. The big change for me is it helps overall inflammation where my widespread body burning calms down in the trunk and the previous times where I normally have constant fast twitching in my leg muscles and feet they were slower rolling muscle spasms which is a pretty big difference, unfortunately it goes back after a few days but I'm still new to it. I had a micro current treatment the day before where we worked on the sacral nerves which is where my CRPS originated and think I'm still recovering from that. “Fun” fact people with CRPS tend to have “rebounds” or inflammatory responses to using micro current technology and are real sensitive to electrical so each time I'm treated I get worse for a few days before it gets better. It's pretty exhausting, just being in the same room as a micro current machine that is on increases the pressure in my legs. Really makes me wonder about cell phone towers, routers, etc.
@sunflowerhippi That's impressive I'm sure all that walking will be good for you! I admire you being able not to eat all the good stuff there but I'm sure the walking will burn a lot. I hope you and Viv have a blast!
@trooworld Thank you! Oh that latte sounds awesome yum! I really like how you're doing the cafe and making it work, I keep saying that as I'm not the best at moderating but if I really heal my issues around food I'd be able to do that. Hope the mammogram went well those always cause soreness! Did you know yesterday was Prince's birthday? Think I'm doing a Prince workout today. LOL I came close to being that meme with the pants around the ankles, I was walking to my car at college and almost lost my pants and had an armful of books. I didn't want to buy new clothes until I hit goal but the idea of my old rear being exposed to a bunch of 18-year-olds was so mortifying I went and got new jeans right away and it felt great in them as they were a lot smaller. I'm curious how the donation goes, hoping you don't feel sick afterward.
@TeresaW2024 The Pacific Northwest is so beautiful! I'm blessed to have great aunts and uncles but the one whose house we stay at is really fun and we have a lot in common. Her and my uncle love having company and are gracious hosts. It was a different house when we were younger but going blackberry gathering and hanging out in the greenbelt were the best. Speaking of great families I know you and your sister are likely the support helping your niece and the kids have a more stable life, I hope things with her boyfriend improve. That interview I'm doing with the micro current practitioner is on stimulating the vagus nerve for health, the rebounder is one of the ways you can stimulate it and calm your body. I'm glad the knee pain is taking a backseat but hope you aren't too sore! Have an awesome time with the great-nieces!
@LisaLisa123 @Maryirisfroehlich Wow you two are awesome this week, way to go!
@lisalisa123 Haha I just wrote about my pants falling when I'd gone back to college, it's so embarrassing it made me go shopping too! High school would be even worse!
@vegan4lyfe2012 I'm so sorry Hunter (and all of you) are going through this with her husband. Is there any hope of him getting counseling and actually becoming a better person or have you all written him off? How awful to put all that stress on her when the baby is due! Can't wait to see Brayden Lynn, hope the delivery goes well! That's a ridiculous rule I'd think if the lawyer goes to court without Hunter the judge would have to grant an extension, she'd basically have to give birth in the courtroom to obey the rules which is assinine.
@micaroo4 You're a model maintenance zone champ now!
@865jessica Sounds like you're on the right track, what exercises did you find? You have a great week too!
Hi friends! Came on early to catch up, I was really worn out last night. Nothing new to report, I have board minutes to get done after my workout. My neighbor and I are going to go to a Cherry Festival at Apple Hill this weekend but not sure which day. The town breakfast is tomorrow too so maybe we'll go after that, the building that has the breakfasts also has the garden club and a community garden and the blueberries will be from a couple who has been having a hard time. Not sure if they'll get proceeds but they have blueberries in the garden and they'll be in the pancakes. Doing pretty good with diet and exercise but not losing anything. Have a beautiful Saturday!3 -
Good morning Slims!
Finished a 10+ mile bike ride, and I've 5K steps so far this morning. I have chores to do, errands to run, and then I'll get the rest of my daily steps after lunch.

@trooworld - Thank you! I hope the mammogram went bearably. I have one of those as a folow up to yesterday's physical.
Your needing-to-update-the-wardrobe meme made me smile! I am looking forward to switching out to some smaller clothes when I get there!
Loved the mammogram cartoon!
@TeresaW2024 - I am sorry about your niece's jerk of a boyfriend, but your indignation made me smile. You sound like she's got a great person on her side.
Let me know if you give Band of Brothers a try.
18-19 hours is impressive!
@lislisa123 , @Maryirisfroehlich, @annachangesagain, @Cornanda and @gemwolf110 - WOW! Great weigh-ins!
@vegan4lyfe2012 - Ugh. Hunter's husband sounds like a piece of work.
Hurray for the upcoming arrival of Brayden Lynn!
@865jessica - It sounds like you have a handle on all this. Keep up the great work!
@Katmary71 - The foot bath sounds fascinating. I am pretty convinced from martial arts study that feet have important nerve connections, so doing things to make feet happy makes great sense for stress and wellness.
T, too, wonder about cell phone towers, routers, etc.
Good morning, Slimsters!
Yesterday went pretyt well. Since I knew I had to fast until about 3 PM, I was unusually hungry at, oh, 9 AM. I dealt with this by having a back cold brew coffee when I dropped my son off. I then felt odd and lightheaded from the extra caffeine.
The physical went oaky, I suppose. The amount of time one gets with a medical practitioner is so tiny compared to the amount of time you send on the whole enterprise. I arrived early, as request, and was at their office for an hour and 45 minutes. I estimate 5 minutes of that was spent in the doctor's presence. Right.
On the plus side, my blood panes already came back, and all is normal there.
I am having a good week. In addition to the Abs Challenge (ouch!), I also got started on a Garmin badge called Rise and Shine. I have been getting in exercise every day, starting before 7 a.m. if I do it again tomorrow, I get a new virtual badge. Bling!
Now I am off to work on a monthly report for today's board meeting for a nonprofit I work on.
