Good morning,

@TeresaW2024 and @trooworld Yes, I am seeing much improvement in Diesel's behavior. His loose leash walking is so much better learning the heel is a really big part of that. We are still working on heel sit which he will try to see if he can get away with sitting a little in front of me or in front of me. Yesterday we worked on reactive behavior around dogs. Kellie brought Gracie and we worked with Diesel on excepting the fact that Gracie was laying in our yard while working on him focusing on me instead of her. The starmark collar was also introduced which seems to work well with the reactive behavior better than just the slip lead leash.


@Katmary71 The challenge is not going well here. Yesterday after Diesels training session we had to go to Killeen to pick up and B-day present for my son and we stopped by to see John's mom this was around 10:30 at about 12 she asked what we were doing for lunch (we were only supposed to stop in for a few) she wanted to go out to eat so we took her out to get Chinese which was a buffet. You know the rest of the story. Then back to her house we ended up staying until 6pm. One bad choice leads to another. On the way home the John wanted ice cream so we stopped at Dairy Queen for a blizzard. This morning the scale is up. Unfortunately tomorrow will be no better. At the beginning of this yr I decided that I would start doing something for my kids and grandkids for their B-days. My husband helped in this decision when he decided that he needed to do this for his sister and mom. Tomorrow we are going to The Dead Fish Grill with my son and his family for his B-day. Sundays WI will reflect my sodium intake.

I hope everyone has a great Friday!

@trooworld I hope you have a wonderful Anniversary❤️

@Cornanda Oh boy your MIL sounds very challenging, good for you for speaking up! So if instead of doing something tomorrow what if you had a smaller treat so you're having less than usual? I've been trying to do that lately. I'm glad to hear your hip is doing a little better! I was thinking of what Teresa mentioned about A1C and being concerned about diabetes, maybe she'd be less offended then? With my parents they're diabetic too but fine taking medicine though I'm still frowned at if I say I don't eat something to stay off medication.

@trooworld That Oriental Cabbe Salad looks delicious! I hope the headache stays away today.

@txcritter69 I had to Google the Starmark collar. Those are challenging menus/places to eat, good luck! Are you planning to eat something healthy or not worry about it? I hope the sodium isn't too bad.

@TeresaW2024 Do you like wraps? Yvonne has this handout she shows of how 85% of chronic illnesses fall into four categories of issues and that helps decide what to take. As a base a good mineral and vitamin supplement is recommended (she likes Youngevity and Zurvita) to help your body repair, she was explaining yesterday once you have the 90 essentials to repair your tissue can start healing but the way we're eating we aren't even getting the basic minerals for our bodies to function. I take the Tangerine and Beyond Osteo of these (my weak area is hard bone so I take the bone supplement): https://youngevity.com/us_en/health-nutrition/90-for-life.html The company is an MLM but since a lot of vitamins are made by drug manufacturers I'm not as worried about MLMs anymore. \

@vegan4lyfe2012 Hugs and prayers, I hope Hunter and Michael find a place soon.

Hi friends! Got a good night's sleep and got into my backup pack of steroids, for a change they're already helping which I'm very grateful for. We (the charity) got a Uhaul for getting everything to the venue tomorrow for the Salsa Cookoff and I was one of four that helped load it earlier. I'll be at the cash table and am going a little later than all the people setting up. I've been resting and cooking around loading the truck and am looking forward to tomorrow a lot more now that I'm feeling a little better.

Have a great Saturday!

I forgot to weigh before work yesterday so I grabbed it this morning and darn near forgot to enter it.

Looks like a partner step challenge. If somebody wants to partner holler, I'm willing.

@trooworld Thank you! That's great news on the headache not being a migraine yesterday! Having a friend go with you to water aerobics is perfect, hope you had fun. Have a wonderful anniversary!

@19shmoo69 Good evening!

@Jactop That's true there IS a lot of ridiculous advice. I felt a little stuck there too answering it.

@bethanie0825 Glad you got the weigh in logged!

Hi team! The Salsa Cookoff went very well it was twice as big as last year's. My brother and SIL came and the practitioner I work for and her husband came and I didn't know any of them were so it meant a lot to me. My neighbor came and helped too. It's our main fundraiser so I'm really happy it went well! Not much else going on I discovered the sprinkler controls SAY it's working but it's not, the front lawn is almost dead so I'm a little freaked out and have my Dad coming by tomorrow to help me with it. Have a great night and happy Sunday friends.

@vegan4lyfe2012 I hope you get your home back soon! Until then, try to find a quiet corner in your home and make it off-limits to everyone else.

@Katmary71 Thanks for the link for the supplements. I will look into it, as I’ve wanted better quality that will work. I’m glad the Salsa Cookoff went well and how nice that your family and the practitioner came out to support the cause. I hope your dad can fix the sprinkler. I had stopped our weed care last year, which was a huge mistake, and brought it back this year, but it has made my yard look like crap. Hopefully, next year, we will be back in the green.

@megnolia82 Waist:height ratio is such a better way to track your progress than BMI, which has already been proven not to be a good indicator for health.

@trooworld I have gone from wearing so much makeup to being super diligent with my skincare routine. All those years I would go to bed with makeup on. Yikes!! It's a bummer about the pool being closed. Oh, poor Violet! I hope her eye heals up and it’s not something more serious. Happy anniversary!!


Good morning! We have church this morning, and then I need to put in my Walmart order for groceries. I am loving having groceries brought to my house. Why did I wait so long!! Not much else going on. My niece gets free money to use at the farmer’s market, and she can’t eat that much produce, so she brought me a bunch of stuff yesterday. Yesterday, we had fresh corn on the cob, and today, I’m using the sweet potatoes to make fries to go with our fish filets. Yummy!
