    Hi 👋

    PT wasn't any fun, but the game was. Chipper and I walked only a little bit since my knee was already hurting. My grand babe is a good hitter. Here's a few pictures:

    I'm so surprised I didn't take any of Chipper 😂😂😂

    Y'all have a great day 😀

    Hello my peeps. Just a really quick check-in. I am doing good, but doing lots of stuff outside and it is hot. I'm feeling good, getting good walks in with the dogs in the morning, I even took Ty over to an competition this morning for a couple of hours. She went absolutely insane as she wanted to be doing agility as well and was screaming like a banshee!. Just got back from my granddaughter's soccer game, it is hot! I have been tracking my food, staying within my limits so far every day this week. It has finally cooled off enough to get my dogs out for a walk, I will try to check tomorrow.

    @laurelfit57 How funny Ty was wanting to do agility too! This IS a hard time going to kid’s games and events. Enjoy the cool weather and give those adorable pups a good walk.

    @DrewsAnna Hugs I’m glad the game was fun. Hope your knee feels better! Your grandbabe is adorable.

    @TeresaW2024 I’m going to follow Mike Winger sounds like an interesting person! The produce box is grown veggies. There’s about 12 of us doing the walk, in all honestly most of us can barely walk so we’ll see how it goes. I’m relieved to hear Joe will be feeling better soon thank goodness!

    @trooworld You’re doing awesome with those home workouts! Great job with water too!

    @Cornanda I agree with you about Bellevue! It was more about psychological surgeries in the 50s, I’m glad I reread it as I didn’t remember the ending. Not the usual Robin Cook he usually writes about things that COULD happen and this one strayed into the paranormal. It was good glad I reread it.

    Hi friends! Just got back from margaritas with the girls, I’m super tired! I started a bunch of lettuce at the greenhouse this morning, went to Grocery Outlet, then the community garden. I finished my book and went to meet friends for happy hour. One friend brought me a bunch of books her sister needed to get rid of, I’m looking forward to going through them and hopefully finding some treasures! I offered to take the rest to lending libraries. The Chinese food I made last night has my weight up 7lbs I think the only thing that beats that gain is post-flying! Have a great Friday friends.

    @Katmary71 I can’t wait to hear if you like Mike Winger! If you watch him on YouTube, you will have a chance to see his cute kitty! 🐱 Whoa, that Chinese food must have been a serious sodium bomb. Lots of water for the next few days! 😉

    @trooworld I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. It’s such a shock to lose someone who was still so full of life. 😢 I think it is good how you are switching up your workouts. Congrats on another 2 lb loss this week! 🤩 


    Good morning! Not much going on today. I will do a workout, and my bestie is coming for coffee and bringing me some fresh eggs. I love it when her chickens are being productive! 😄 I had a good phone call yesterday with my pastor about Joe and the realities of what we are dealing with. Very few people know what goes into my care for Joe, but I think I gave him a better picture so he understands how hard it is and why we must stop attending church on Sundays when he isn’t feeling well. It was a good talk, and I’m thankful for an understanding boss. 🙂

    Thinking about this, this morning… was wondering how other folks react?😐️

    QUESTION: You wake up this morning, knowing you un/intentionally over-ate yesterday.

    1. How do you feel?
    2. What are your thoughts?
    3. What will you do?

    @TeresaW2024 ive listened to Mike Winger quite a bit. Something you could try is typing in Christian Apologetics in whatever podcast streaming platform you use.
    I’ve been going through UNASHAMED. They have life stories and then enter into bible study.

    Another one you may like is Frank Turek, I Don’t Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist.
    If want book by book chapter by chapter verse by verse study look into waylifetruth.org tap on teaching archive and you should see the whole Bible set up to listen to.

    On YouTube look up Wes Huff. He just flat out knows his stuff.

    [My body was wonky this week, retaining water even with taking a daily diuretic, plus I lost 1 whole day of exercising because of apartment repairs by super, plus someone left salty snacks outside my door (still in the packages!) and I ate two of the small individual bags, before emptying the others into the trash the next day!]

    @19shmoo69 I love the Roberstons, and Unashamed is a podcast I don’t listen to nearly enough, but should start. I follow them on TikTok and have seen many clips since Phil’s death. His life was such a testimony! Side note: Have you seen the new Duck Dynasty Revival yet? Hilarious!! 😆 I have heard of Frank Turek, but haven’t read his book. I love Wes Huff and follow him too! Have you seen him on the Flagrant Podcast? If not, you have to watch! I have bookmarked waylifetruth.org and will check it out! Thank you! I love finding someone who loves apologetics and expository teaching as much as I do! 😀

    @trooworld I have heard of exertion headaches and am sorry you had to experience one. Hopefully, it won’t be a problem for you, so you can continue to push hard on your exercise. Wow, that is awesome on how many inches you have lost! I’m torn between jealousy and being inspired by you. Do you get a lot of comments on your weight loss and how great you are doing? 


    Good morning! We had another horrible thunderstorm in the middle of the night that put Maggie in bed with us and had me intensely praying for safety over my house. We are supposed to have storms all weekend. Yayy! 🙄 I lifted yesterday, so my lower half is sore. Joel Freeman from Bodi is starting a new program on June 10 that I’m excited to start. It will only be 25 minutes long, so I can add a rebounder program when I have enough time. I’m trying to get up from sitting and move around more. I read that doing 10 squats every hour is as good as doing a long walk. Worth a try! 😀

    QUESTION: You wake up this morning, knowing you un/intentionally over-ate yesterday.

    1. How do you feel?

    I used to feel - say, prior to 6 months ago - guilt and anger towards myself for not thinking and then eating junk/processed food. (Moreso, if the scale showed a larger increase than expected!) Now I just get annoyed with myself!😒

    1. What are your thoughts?

    I try to "analyze" why I did overeat. For example, did I eat junk/processed food (bad) or overeat on healthy food (not the worst thing). Was it because someone gave me the junk food, and I thought I'd just have "a taste"? Or that I didn't have enough protein that day to stay filled? Or maybe I just didn't think about what I was doing, despite having all the signs (literally!) around telling me to "Stop! Think! Keep Your Mouth Closed!"😀

    1. What will you do?

    I tend to be proactive in my response. While this is not for everyone, I will usually either do a 24-hour fast, or a 500-calorie fast, the next day, to get back on track mentally and feel better.🙂

    QUESTION: You wake up this morning, knowing you un/intentionally over-ate yesterday.

    1. How do you feel? If I over-ate, it's generally intentional - and therefore planned in advance. Which means that I likely saved some calories over the course of the week and maybe even dropped my weight to the lower end of my range. Even if I overeat, I log everything as accurately as possible, even though I likely have to use estimates. Log it all, even when it's ugly. Log it on birthdays and holidays, graduations, celebrations, and funerals. So I generally feel like, that's done, it's in the past, move on.
    2. What are your thoughts? Tough to separate thoughts from feelings; my first thought is to go jump on the scale and assess the damage.
    3. What will you do? What to do is the easy part - get back on my normal program and log every bite. Log it all.

    Hi 👋

    Not much going on. It's going to be hot today, so I'm not sure what I'll be doing. I'll just let the energy flow to wherever it goes.

    Last night we went to see a Journey cover band. It was so much fun. Lol… I actually wore makeup. Lol… I had trouble seeing my eyelashes so I did it by "feel" 😂😂😂

    I have a couple of videos, but MFP won't let me post them because they are to big.

    I'll create a link later if anyone is interested.

    Y'all have a great day 😀

    I got myself an over the counter Continuous Glucose Monitor. I was surprised by my readings - it shows that my glucose is under 70 for at least 25% of the time. It won't give a reading below 70, so I don't know how low it really goes. Since it was low in the night, I wondered if hypoglycemia might cause insomnia. I did some research: It DOES. So now I have to figure out how to address the low blood sugar at night, to see if that improves my sleep. If this turns out to be the root cause of my insomnia, fixing it would be life altering. Fingers crossed!

    @trooworld - that recipe sounds yummy. I googled the lavash bread and it looks like it might puff up a little bit when baked which would be great for pizza or a breakfast wrap.

    @Katmary71 - I'm sorry your roommate is leaving. Seems like you two are a good pair. :( {{HUG}}

    @TeresaW2024 - I'm glad you were able to talk to the pastor about Joe. It's too bad that you're not getting spiritually fed at church- that's extra tough when you work there- you can't just go somewhere else. And then there's too much feeding with the potlucks and I hope someone else can step in and relieve you of that. I see what my Dad is going through caring for my Mom and it's a lot- so I get that your plate is very full. Sending hugs.

    @DrewsAnna - you look——🤩 ! and I bet it was fun grooving out to your favorite Journey tunes.

    Uneventful week here- Been super hot, getting in some long walks early am when it's still cool. We did finish our garage gym and I love it! Did not see deer this week, but we saw some turkeys. We could use some of those storms @TeresaW2024 has been getting. DS is coming over today. We are going to sort a few things that are still in his old room and then go to dinner. DD is still spending most of her time with her new BF. She asked me to look at some apartments with her next weekend- will she be moving out soon? Will have to see as she has champagne taste and a beer budget. If she does leave, I am ready. I have a couple of eating events this week (work related). I will have a plan before I go.

    Have a great week!

    Lisa
