I've been feeling depressed and the tears flow too easily. If I reflect on my thoughts, it keeps bringing me back to my past. I can't change the past, I can only change the future, and I haven't determined how to do that yet. I've made the changes with my health which kept me content for awhile but now I'm searching for something new. I just want to run and run. Run away from these emotions. I ran so hard that my calves are now very sore and tight and took me out of my daily exercise routines for a few days while they heal. Now I've been consuming my time with my garden.

💪Mission Slimpossibles - June Strong!💪

Sending hugs feeling the same this week.

@DrewsAnna Hi there happy to see you! Great job on the veggies! I hope all goes well with the 5th wheel.

@trooworld Thank you I was pretty miserable! That support group sounds awesome I'm glad it was so helpful. Guess that's a case where people have learned the hard way and you can learn from them when they offer tips. How fun hope you have a blast at Taste of Little Italy even though it's during the week. That WOULD be real hard to log,

@19shmoo69 Is carnivore still going good for you?

@TeresaW2024 Thank you! Congrats on the weight loss! Not snacking is tough I'm glad you're doing so well. Let's make this week awesome! It must be so nice having all your space back.

@micaroo4 I bet it's been fascinating having all these new family members.

@Veta2018 Your eating sounds so much more healthier now, it's a wake-up call to learn how unhealthy one was actually eating. Thank you. The amount of stuff with the ab challenge is tough now isn't it! I think my highest today was 110 crunches, ugh! My abs are sore but it's not like nerve pain so I'll be ok. Hugs on the depression, thinking of you of hoping the garden brings you peace.

@txcritter69 I hope your face is feeling better when you read this, ouch. That will be hard to have Diesel gone for so long, I hope this trainer is able to help.

@FushiaKat Thank you Kat! Something tells me you burned more than 6 extra calories what the heck?!

Hi gang! Not much new, had a decent work day. My roommate texted me accusing me of following him this morning, I don't know if I drove by him on the way to the store but that's pretty odd. I've been working on “pay rent in 3 days or you'll be served eviction papers” to serve him today. He came to the clinic and grabbed a desk in the room I was in and went in a different room with it and closed the door so he's not striking me as being very stable. Not much else going on, I'm making skinnytaste's sweet potato black bean bowls for dinner and still waiting to hear from my brother. Have a great night and wonderful Wednesday!

Hey folks,

@DrewsAnna Yeah on the 5th wheel, we have a pull behind and love taking it out camping. Taking it out camping with just the minimum of things proves to me that I can live that way at home.

@FushiaKat Great job on the loss, staying busy helps with not snacking.

@Katmary71 I am sorry for the problems you are have with this roommate of yours. It might just be best that you tell him to move out. Or as I would do just pack his stuff and put it outside the front door. Change the locks and tell him "It's been real, It's been fun, But it hasn't been real fun."

@vegan4lyfe2012 🎊Congratulations🎊 on that sweet lil' princess.

@TeresaW2024 I am in the process of doing a chemotherapy cream treatment to my face for precancerous cells. Sounds as though your day is a busy one. WTG on staying on track yesterday. I have been learning to do the same.

@trooworld The Taste of Little Italy sounds like a lot of fun. I wish we had a place like that around here.

Well yesterday morning was the last day of the cream for me. I could not put another treatment on my face. It is so raw and swollen, I look like I have a 2nd degree burn on my face. After talking with my dermatologist he agreed with stopping the cream and now it is the healing process.
We went to the trainers house this morning and have set up a pick up time for Monday. Yes, I am going to miss the little 💩. I am spending all the time I can over the next couple of days with him. I just hope that there is a possibility that he will be able to get along and play with other dogs.

Have a great day.

Hi everyone,
We got our 5th wheel home. It won't fit into it's parking spot, so it's parking spot is going to in half the front yard. It's big and we have named her "beast", because at first look every calls her a beast. So, we're sticking with it.

They left it a total mess. When we sold ours, I cleaned it up for the new owners. So, I was taken a back by the mess that was left in it.

They also didn't tell us that once it's unplugged the batteries only last maybe an hour. There also a number of other things wrong, so I'm feeling taken a back by the lack of honesty from these people. Oh well, we'll get these things taken care of.

On the bright side, I've been getting a lot of steps walking to and from the trailer & house. I haven't been eating all that good though. Things will slow down eventually.

I'll post some pictures soon, we are really excited about going on some new adventures.

I'm really tired, so I'm off! Y'all have a great evening!! 🙂

@trooworld That is such a good way to check out new restaurants and get in a lot of steps. I’ve always wanted to go to an Argentinean restaurant, and I saw last week that we now have one. I will have to check it out!

@txcritter69 I hope your face heals perfectly and you won’t have any more issues. I am sure you will miss your baby!

@Katmary71 I’m praying that everything goes OK with getting the roommate out of your home.

@DrewsAnna It’s a shame that people just can’t be honest. They were probably worried that it wouldn’t sell. I like your attitude that you will just get it the trailer to what it needs to be. I look forward to the pictures and stories of your adventures.

@AmbersWay I know it’s so annoying to have the scale go up when you don’t think it should. It could be all the movement has you retaining some water. Just keep doing what you know is right.


Good morning! Well, yesterday started well, but then Joe had a dizzy episode right outside Chick-fil-A, and keeping him from fully passing out was very stressful. This nice man held the door for us as I got him to a seat. I was so stressed and hungry that I got a sandwich and fries instead of the salad I had planned to get. I was mad at myself and frustrated that my stress-coping method always seemed to turn to food. Once home, I turned on a podcast and got my head back to where it needed to be. Baby steps, huh? Today, my bestie, who has been out of town for the last few weeks, is coming for coffee. She is so sweet and calm all the time so it will be good to spend time with her. Have a great day!

@TeresaW2024 – How scary that Joe started to pass out. Seems like it was a super busy day. Does that have anything to do with him feeling lightheaded? It’s ok that you stress ate…you did a nice job not overdoing your Tuesday and you got yourself right back on track listening to the podcast. I’d say you managed the stress extremely well. Enjoy your BFF coffee time!
@trooworld – How compact is the area for the Little Italy event? Like a couple blocks? Just wondering how many restaurants there are…my mind can’t imagine so many restaurants in such close proximity. And that sucks that your husband didn’t actually make the recipe…not only since that’s what your taste buds were expecting, but also because you’d already tracked it. And sad face that there was no cheese LOLs. Vegan cheese isn’t like the real thing (yes, I can remember how real cheese tastes even tho it’s been 12 years), but I still love it! Hope your migraine stays away. Fingers crossed with the water bottle reimbursement. Love your potato extra-ness!
@txcritter69 – I hope your skin settles down quickly for you.
@Katmary71 – Need me to fly out to Cali and kick some bad-roommate booty? In all seriousness, I’m sorry you’re dealing with this when all you intended to do was help him out.
@DrewsAnna – Congrats on the Beast! I can’t even begin to tell you how jealous I am of people that are able to get campers and do the camping thing on a regular basis. I’d have to say that’s the one thing that sucks about me not having a hubby/SO. Living in SW Michigan, going “up north” is something a lot of people do around here and I feel so left out Can’t wait to see the photos!
@AmbersWay – I’ve been out of the loop…where are you vacationing/visiting? Do we get to see any pictures of the hills?
@19shmoo69 – Little late on my reply, but I don’t have any issues with you putting in your opinion on things. Just cuz you’re a guy doesn’t mean you can’t give us another viewpoint. Besides, you live with females, so you know how we are! And side note – my therapist is male. I definitely don’t have any issue.

Life is exhausting, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I know I’ve been a tremendous help to Hunter. Now if only I could be a tremendous help to my health and stop all the binge eating. I saw an advertisement for Eating Recovery Center, where I could possibly do treatment virtually. If any of you have any familiarity with this center and don’t mind sharing any thoughts, please private message me. They take Blue Cross, so I’m seriously contemplating it.

Sorry about not being in the green the past few weeks. I start off the morning so nicely…make it through lunch just fine. Then it all goes to heck by dinnertime and then it’s a poop show all evening long. I had a good session with my therapist on Monday and he’s helping me with being able to say “that’s a hard NO” to people so that I can recharge instead of always feeling drained by everyone around me. My personality is the type that doesn’t want to disappoint anyone, and it’s always to my detriment.

So onto a recipe request – what is your favorite way to use frozen soup veggies? We have several bags, but I don’t want to make them all into soup. The contents are: carrots, potatoes, corn, green beans, lima beans, okra, peas, celery and onions.

Ice Breaker Question – If you were a potato product, what would you be?
Potato sticks – fun and nice when I want to be, but solid enough to stab a gum if needed. (This answer has been provided by Hunter LOLs)

Ice Breaker Question – If you were a potato product, what would you be?
Pierogies

Wanted to cook but to hot to turn oven on so have an Athenian pizza coming.

Good morning,

@micaroo4 It is not fun in any way, and I am pretty much staying home and hiding as well.

@Katmary71 I am glad you are getting somewhere with your roommate.

@DrewsAnna I am sorry for the way the owners left a mess in your 5th wheel. It is sad how some people just have no respect.

@AmbersWay All is good and you are right it will all work out in the end.

@TeresaW2024 I am counting down the day until Diesel leaves for 3 wks. While he is gone I have to figure out what kind of create to buy and where to put it that is out of the living room. Also where to put his raised bed for his place that will be in the living room.
Sorry about Joe and glad that there was someone to help out. We all slip but you got back up and back on track. I hope spending time with your bestie turned your day around.

@trooworld Diesel has the potential to be a real good dog. A lot of what has become a behavior problem is my fault. I really hope the trainer is able to reprogram his mind and fix his insecurities. I am sorry that your hubby did not stay on course with dinner.

@vegan4lyfe2012 Life will always get in the way along this journey. Just keep moving forward

@laurelfit57 It looks like the time way did the trick with the two of them.

If you were a potato product, what would you be?
I would be a baked sweet potato with butter, brown sugar and marshmallow topping just slightly browned. I love a good baked sweet potato.

Well yesterday I laid around quite a bit. My face was just burning and stinging. I could not find any comfort. I did manage to cook dinner and get the furniture in my living room moved to my daughters house.
This morning I woke up with 90% of the burning and stinging gone. Now it feels like the whole top layer of my skin is burnt to a crisp and now the itching and peeling process begins. Lots of moisturizer over the next few weeks. My new furniture is arriving today. So I am going to jump off here and get some cleaning done before it get here.

Good Morning everyone
