@trooworld Interesting I hadn’t realized your stomach would stretch a bit how interesting, maybe it’s a combination of all the above? That does sound like a weird day hope today is better for you.
@TeresaW2024 I just sent my Dad a text asking if we could change something with the drip system with more of the little hoses that come out from the center. I added 3 more tomato plants to my beds so they’ll need more water. Oh no I’m so sorry to hear about the situation with your BIL! What is your niece doing letting him drive it? That’s pretty awful I’m so sorry.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you for the recipes! I pinned both. You’re doing amazing with food wtg and it all sounds tasty too!
Hi team! Was at the greenhouse early, we got a lot done (onions, squash, lettuce, and tomatoes). I was real cold and came home and jumped in bed for a bit. When the sun came up I went to the community garden to plant some tomatoes with some cages that weren’t being used so most of my stuff is in. I made energy bites for a community garden cleanup we’re doing there Saturday morning, I’ll share the recipe I’m planning on having one for dessert. Have a great Friday friends!

@TeresaW2024 I do think it is, I can't eat like a tiny bird the rest of my life! LOL OH NO! I'm so sorry about the loser brother-in-law! They are really lucky to have you. I hope it all works out and that he learned his lesson. Good thing nobody got hurt.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Good, now you will be able to enjoy that pineapple! I'm going to get another pineapple this weekend. I got a bag of oranges that are really sweet and worth peeling to eat lol. How nice to walk into their home with dinner made! The Chinese food sounds yummy, too. :) I hope the soups turn out well. Avocados are too expensive to let rot lol.
@Katmary71 Yes, they said it's natural. Maybe it is a combo? Yesterday was much better, thanks! How are you feeling now? I'd love the energy bite recipe.
@kerritho @Cornanda Congrats on the losses!
Hi all. Nothing much is going on. Yesterday, work was okay. Today, I weighed in and lost 0.6 lbs. Not too impressive but I am getting very close to Onederland. Oh, I do have an NSV: I had these work pants that were way too tight in my closet and I broke them out yesterday to wear to work. Well, now they are too baggy! So, I'm going to Macy's this weekend for a couple more pairs that actually fit. Today is usually my work-from-home day but I am going into the office for a half-day. Then, this afternoon, the handyman is coming to work on the drywall in the bathroom (due to the leak).
Tracked yesterday? YES

@vegan4lyfe2012 My brother–in-law is an idiot, and we are all disgusted. I was always opposed to my niece letting him use her car to go to work, but sometimes people need to learn these hard and very costly lessons. It was nice that Hunter had some tasty soup for you to enjoy. 🙂
@Katmary71 My BIL had been doing great. She started letting him take her SUV to work because he has been doing so well. He usually comes home, drinks a beer or two, and goes to bed, but an alcoholic can never be trusted, and from now on, he will take an Uber back and forth to work. You are going to have so many tomatoes! I want your recipe for energy bites. 😊
@trooworld What a great NSV that your too tight pants are now baggy on you. I’m sure you are hoping this is the last leak that has to be repaired in your home. 🙂
Good morning! Well, my BIL got out of jail, and my sister gave him her full wrath as she drove him home. Fortunately, because this is a university town, first-time DUI offenders usually get off with a slap on the wrist. Of course, he is deeply regretful, but that doesn’t bring back my niece's Ford Explorer! The SUV is at the shop, and I'm hoping it can be repaired and not totaled. Paying her deductible is a much better idea than buying her another SUV. Ugh! 😡Today, I’m going to do a chest and bicep workout and mop my floors. Have a good day! 🙂2 -
I'm having windows replaced today. For me, it's always a painful process to have workmen in the house. Window replacement seems to take over the whole house. They don't do one window completely and then move to the next. They take the shutters off all the windows, then take the siding off around all the windows, then take all the old windows out. Then they start cutting the casings to fit the new windows, a painfully loud and dusty process. I'm wearing ear plugs. Then insulation goes around all the window openings. Then the new windows go in. Then the siding and shutters are replaced. Then they putty around the windows. Then finally, they install the screens, and clean up some of the mess. I will have a lot of cleaning to do tomorrow.
I'm sick today with a cold and cough, so is Rich. Earl has been sick and isn't eating. He's got meds, but today's lack of appetite might be the stress of the noise and being shut in my office, the only room that isn't having work done.
I'll be happy with the new windows, but right now I can't wait for them to leave.

Energy bite recipe I was all set to copy and paste it last night but see I never did!
@trooworld The recipe is above it’s really good and hard not to snack on! I don’t care for coconut so I switched that out for some pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and almond slivers. What is your weight loss goal do you have one? The slowing down sucks I know having bigger losses is real motivating. I can’t wait to see you rocking your new clothes! I hope the handyman gets everything done fast.
@TeresaW2024 Aw that’s so disappointing about your BIL I’m sure your niece is real upset too. I posted the recipe at the top of this I’d clicked “copy” and got distracted last night and was surprised it wasn’t on my post but it is now on this one! Yikes I hope the chest and bicep workout relieves some of the stress for you!
@micaroo4 Smart idea to wear earplugs it IS real intrusive having them replaced. Is your kitty indoor/outdoor? I had a heck of a time keeping my cats locked up while my windows were done a few years ago. What bad timing to have the windows done with all of you sick, I hope it’s a fast job and not too bad.
Hi team! We’re having an overcast day with a nearby storm, not feeling very well from it. I went to meet my roommate at a park and Google Maps had the wrong address so we ended up meeting back at the house (had a picnic for us). Currently have a gluten free pizza in the oven. Not much else going on, we’re supposed to be doing the community garden cleanup tomorrow but it may be raining so I’ll wait and see since I can’t be outside in it. Have a great Saturday!

Good morning everybody!!!! How is everyone?
So I was chatting with an acquaintance and he told me something that I want to share with you all and specifically with @TeresaW2024The story shared was about a lady that had a husband that had dementia. The doctors told her there was nothing else they could except make him comfortable. She chose to monitor his food portions and added MCT Oil to each meal. I was told it totally changed the husband. Granted I cannot speak of the authenticity but it definitely wouldn’t hurt to give it a try especially if it can help smooth some moments out.
Have a blessed day you slimpossible people!2 -

@micarro4 I'm sorry you're all sick! Especially during this time when window installers invade your whole home. You will be happy once, which hopefully will be very soon. 🙂
@Katmary71 Thanks for the recipe! Those energy bites look so good! I have these protein bars I’m eating before my workouts, but I want something less processed. I would use Lily’s sugar-free dark chocolate chips and definitely add some dried cranberries. How many people use the community garden? 🙂
@19shmoo69 That is interesting about the MCT oil! I have heard that a Keto diet can also help with dementia patients, which Joe would never do. I will look up the MCT benefits. Thank you! 🙂Good morning! I was woken up at 3 am by a terrible thunderstorm that lasted for about 30 minutes. Maggie wasn’t happy, but she tolerated it better than she usually does. Not much is going on other than my usual Saturday routine. Today’s workout is quads and calves. The first time I did this workout, I tore my left calf muscle to the point it took almost a week to heal. I will be careful not to let that happen again! 🙂

@TeresaW2024 Thank you! Yeah, I hope so too lol. I hope the SUV can be repaired. What an unfortunate incident. He could have killed someone, so he's lucky to be getting off so lightly! I hope you have a good workout. Sorry you got woken up this morning.
@Katmary71 Those look really good, thanks for the recipe! Well, my weight loss goal, I thought I would want to get down to 165 lbs but it really depends on how I feel and how I look. I'm looking pretty good now, but I want to lose more. Maybe 30 more lbs? Thanks! I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. I hope you enjoyed the pizza. It may rain today here, too. I hope not!
@19shmoo69 Good morning! Interesting abuot the MCT oil.
@bethanie0825 Congrats on the loss!
HI all. Well, as I was walking one of my dogs in the morning, I ripped my favorite (and only heavier jacket that fits) leather jacket. So, I ordered a new one from Macy's! It was a good price, normally over $500 but I got it for $235. Work was good yesterday. I went in because some of our students were graduating and I wanted to go to their portfolio show. They were really happy I came and a lot of them gave me hugs. It was nice to attend. I came home and the handyman said he was running late and asked if he could do the repairs next Friday morning. I said that was okay. I honestly wish we could just skip it, every time he comes, my dogs act like jerks and bark the whole time and it's really stressful for me and them. Today, my retired manager is meeting me for coffee and then we are going to an event for Independent Bookstore Day: a book crawl, which is that you go around to as many of the 14 independent bookstores in the area as possible. For every $10 you spend at each store, you get a stamp in a "passport". After so many stamps, you get a prize. It should be fun. It may rain though, so that wouldn't be fun lol.

The window installation is done, and it looks beautiful! I was so glad when they finished and cleared out. I set Earl free from the confines of my office, and I got busy vacuuming the sawdust, hanging curtains, and putting the furniture back. It's pouring rain today, so I'm very glad it was completed yesterday.
I'm sick with a cold, so I slept late. I've got a terrible headache; feels like I've been punched in the face. I hope it's not another sinus infection. Rich is sick too, but his is mostly a cough. Earl is being treated for pancreatitis. I reduced his meds to 1/2 the prescribed dose as he was just too lethargic.

@19shmoo69 Hi Darren how’s it going? How are your ribs doing?
@TeresaW2024 Lily’s chocolate chips would be great in that recipe! The community garden has 48 beds, I’d say about 35 or so are being used at this point. Hope you slayed that workout without hurting yourself!
@trooworld Thank you! I’d guess it rained there too it was worse than I was expecting (which was no rain!). Score on the jacket! The show sounds wonderful I’m glad the students were so touched you attended. Oh my gosh that book crawl sounds awesome plus incentives to buy books sounds amazing!
@micaroo4 Yay I’m so glad you’re happy with your windows! Aw poor Earl, I hope all of you are feeling better soon. Your body is fighting to get better I’m sure your next weigh in will be back on track don’t worry.
Hi team! I’m exhausted from pulling weeds in the rain this morning! It was a lot of fun, those energy balls went over well too. It was doughnuts, chips, cookies, and pizza and I ate pretty lousy (energy balls aren’t horrible but definitely not low calorie!). I came home and had balloons on a stump in my yard and have no clue if they were left on purpose or blew there, there’s playing cards on the balloons and actual playing cards on the strings (a royal flush of all things). I’m wondering if I’m either going to get invited to a poker game or if one of the neighbor’s went to one and they got lost. I put them in my garage so I could inspect them to find clues. I was just about to climb into bed when my brother texted from my nephew’s track meet they were stuck at and he’d left their dog inside and she needed to go out. Penny was very happy to see her auntie! I’m still reading Sarah J Maas currently going back and forth in two series when they’re released from the library but each book is over 800 pages so they aren’t fast reads. Have a great Sunday!

@micaroo4 That's good it's done and looks good. I hope everyone feels better soon.
@Katmary71 Yes, it did. I didn't expect the rain until yesterday morning lol. The show was nice. I got a cute sticker for buying my three books. It was fun! I'm glad you had fun pulling weeds in the rain lol. That's weird about the balloons. Wow, that's a long book! I'm glad you are enjoying them. I'm reading a Japanese book that was translated to English: Butter. It's kind of a detective mystery.
Hi all. The book crawl was really fun but the bookstores were very crowded and it was a bit anxiety-provoking. I bought three books and a bookmark of a 3D shark (see pic below). I went to Macy's after the book crawl to see about the work pants. I tried on about 5 pairs and didn't like the way any of them fit, they were either too small or too baggy. So, I came home and ordered my favorite brand in a smaller size. Then I ordered some other items of clothing because Macy's is having a good sale! Today, I am going to a free outdoor art festival and then to this art event at a coffee shop where you bring your own supplies and sit and make artwork with other artists while listening to a DJ. After that, I have to drop off a piece of art at a coffee shop where it is going to be exhibited in a show next month. Should be a busy day.

@Katmary71 my ribs are good. I should’ve posted earlier. I’ve been in the gym and have been running. I ran a 5k charity run. I never stopped running and got passed by two older ladies that never stopped walking. Yep that right my run is as fast as most people’s walk.

Congrats to the whole team for achieving 2nd place! And a special shout-out goes to @19shmoo69 for leading the way in 1st place for the entire F2F! Additional shout-outs go to @Digger61 and @bethanie0825 for making it onto the leaderboard.
@19shmoo69 Great job with the running and the 5K!
Hello all. Well, the day just didn't have enough time in it: we ended up not going to the make-your-own-art thing. But we did go to the free art festival and drop off my art at the coffee shop. At the festival, I was able to get sugar-free lemonade, which was a nice treat. I was very thirsty and it hit the spot. I made Gochujang Buttered Noodles and added a pack of Kevin's Natural Foods Korean BBQ-Style Chicken for protein. It was so good! I didn't eat much of it but what I ate was delicious. It was super easy to make as well. Today, I am going on a photo adventure at the beach with the new friend from my photography club. I took the day off work to do it. It should be fun.

is anyone else having issues with the app? It’s seems like one problem gets fixed and then another (or two) pop up. Currently to get to the group I have to open app, tap on community, tap in notifications, tap on available notifications, hit done which takes me back to the home page and do it again for the second time. If I do not it just buffers and never opens. I used to go to the section at the bottom and tap on the bookmark but that’s not there unless I can get into a group. Then it appears at the bottom.
I would contact support but every time I do that the response is the same. We don’t know what the problem is but why not use a laptop and go to the website?Frustrating, ok, indirect vent is over.
