@trooworld Oh no I guess the bright spot is your work wants you to be comfortable and have the pain issue addressed. IF nothing else see the doctor and perhaps you can get a back pillow covered by them then you can think about going through PT again. Could your back be hurting because you’ve been walking a lot more?

@TeresaW2024 Thank you! It’s fun to share something about Asher as he’s the introverted one, Jasper’s real friendly and goes straight up to anyone who comes over but Asher takes awhile to come around and check people out so it’s nice to have him appreciated for a change. I love that tracking is helping you, it is for me too. I honestly can’t have PB in the house it’s so hard not to overeat! Hugs I know that feeling of seeing a bad photo I hope the one from this year makes you smile at how you got back on track when you see it next year.

@askewcr Congratulations on the great report that’s wonderful! Very creative to do the water aerobics sitting are you planning to get in the pool later or stay on ground? Great job getting exercise in too!

@DrewsAnna I’m so glad you’re doing wonderful that’s great! I’m logging on LoseIt but don’t post there much. Go make your own sunshine today!

Hi team! Woke up early so I worked out then went to the greenhouse early, we started watermelons and winter squash and I trimmed the herbs then came home and made oregano pesto. Back to Yellowstone we’re going to watch the ending tonight. Have a great Friday!

Friday weigh in

@DrewsAnna You have no idea how happy I was to read your recent post this morning. I suspect that time out in the ball field allowed some of those marvelous sun rays to boost your Vitamin D levels. And yes…. when it's rainy and gloomy, make your own sunshine! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPUmE-tne5U

Hi 👋

@AnAbsoluteDiva that is one of my most favorite songs of all time. Lol... it's also my alarm clock wake up song.

I had a post all ready to go earlier, I dropped my phone and that was that. My post was gone.

Yesterday, wound up being a pretty lazy day. I got a call from my grandson school, he had a bad toothache, so I him and his sister up. The both fell asleep, so lol… I joined the crowd.

Today, I just finished my workout and I've tracked everything I've eaten this far.

I'm baseball grandma today, so it's time for me to get in the shower.

Y'all have a great day 😀 😊

@trooworld Thanks! Wow thank goodness they got you in fast, that’s scary to hear about your stomach pouch and possible ulcer. I hope you don’t have gallstones too yikes! That’s a lot of prescriptions but sounds like some are temporary, I’m so glad they’re helping already. Congratulations on the big drop and no longer being in the severe obesity category those are awesome accomplishments!

@DrewsAnna I hate losing posts that stinks! Have a great time at the games!

Hi team! My weigh in was 161.2 so I’ve managed to get back to where I was at the end of January. My roommate and I have been doing well eating healthy meals, she went with me to the farm this morning and we brought home arugula to add to our lunch salads. We got pok choy and tomatoes in then made arugula bunches. Don’t think I said anything about it last night but the functional medicine practitioner had her daughter and SIL in town and they put on a talk at the ministry after their Bible study about their ministry in Amsterdam where they help get women out of sex trafficking. Their work is so impressive people usually drop out after 6 months and they’ve been there for a few years. It really had all of us thinking of how important it is to make an effort with people we know are struggling. Tomorrow I'm going to the greenhouse, taking the kitties for nail trims, then going to my folks to see my aunt and uncle who are visiting. Sunday I'm going with a few women from the ministry to an herbalist talk, one of the women and I are talking of having an herbal study group which would be amazing. Have a good Saturday!

@DrewsAnna It IS a great song!

@TeresaW2024 Try zigzagging your calories. It's what I do. I'm at 1200 calories a day but one day I'll hit 1400 and the next day I'm at 1000 - you get the point. Over a 14-day period, you'll have seven days over your goal and seven days under your goal. It allows you to enjoy your life without stressing over calories while still staying focused on the ultimate goal. You know how I love my spreadsheets so I just plug my numbers in, get the weekly average, and aim for a weekly deficit of at least 3,500 calories. It may sound confusing but if you just zigzag your way through this, you'll do better. I firmly believe that.

@Katmary71 Can I come to your greenhouse? What's growing there? I love this time of year, don't you? By the time July comes around, everything better be on autopilot because heat and humidity are not my friends.

ICE BREAKER QUESTION: What hasn't changed about you over the years?
My love of books. I read 50 to 60 books a year but during CoViD, I broke my own record and read almost 200 books in those first two years. I wish I could get into Audiobooks but it's not the same as turning the page, referring back, writing notes in the margin. Used book shops are my favorite retail stop.

@trooworld - i'm glad it's not a bowel obstruction and I'm glad your pain is decreasing. Woot woot on the weight loss this week! I guess that's the silver lining of stomach pain?!

@Katmary71 - Great work getting back to your Jan weight. Now to keep going….. you can do it!

@TeresaW2024 - bet your hair looks super cute! I'm thinking about changing mine a bit, but not ready yet. I googled adaptive silverware and there are all kinds of choices- Not sure what Joe's issue is exactly, but you could take a look.

Goodness, it's quiet in here lately.

What has not changed about me? I am also a reader and always have been one.

Work went OK this week- post management change. The new Director is much more engaged than the old one was. My manager told me the old one never read our audit reports. Wow. This one reads every detail and asks a lot of questions. He really has her hopping as she did not have to worry about every detail of everything when her previous boss wasn't even looking at it. Not a bad thing- it will take some adjusting, but I feel this gives us the opportunity to do better work and make more of an impact going forward. On Friday we have an in person meeting with the whole department- all day. It's part fun/part work and a potluck. It will be nice to meet others in the department.

Have a great week!

Lisa

Hi 👋

Friday was a pretty good day. I did a workout and made to the ball field with Chip. My grand babe had practice. Lol… as luck would have it, it started raining as soon as we left for practice and quit raining just as practice was over. Chipper and I walked all over the place anyway. Lol… it was a little fun.

Yesterday, was another lazy day, but I was tired and I'm thinking my body is trying to retaliate against for being out in the rain for two days last week.

I finished the afghan, it came out nice. I still need to weave in the ends, and maybe, put a border around it. I'm not sure if I want to do that just though. Lol… I had a volunteer model... 😅😅

Lol.. it's a green maple leaf 😉🍁

My next project is for my MIL…

ICE BREAKER QUESTION: What hasn't changed about you over the years?

This sad that it happened but humorous to hear it. Who steals soap!
