    @laurelfit57 Thank you ! Wow that loss after popcorn is awesome! How adorable that Ty played the balloon game too! You’re getting some serious exercise with the walks and classes! I love the idea of a special day with the birthday grandchild have a great time!

    @micaroo4 That ’s a beautiful rock, love it! I usually focus on spinning a ring or rubbing my pendant if I’m anxious just to distract me from being nervous, I can see that helping when thinking of food you’re craving and shouldn’t be eating and it working. I’m not the best at emptying my pockets though I just had a bunch of peppers in the dryer because I forgot to take them out! Love red jasper too!

    @bobboyardee That ’s a seriously awesome record of not bingeing congratulations! I’m guessing the trip out-of-town will be a fun one?

    @vegan4lyfe2012 I wonder why your lettuce didn ’t do as well did you use the fertilizer? I’m so glad Sydney’s surgery went well and it definitely did need to be removed. Poor Oliver I’m sure that seizure was awful to see I’m so sorry. Hahaha we have a lot of produce lovers in this group the veggie question is hard!

    @DrewsAnna What a beautiful pie ! I’ve been thinking about pie since you mentioned making it. I think your husband should gift you a cherry pitter after all that work! Do you have a strawberry pitter? I saw one in the grocery store and eat a lot of strawberries so I’m tempted, maybe I can find a collection of pitters for the cost that one was at the high end grocer. Yum hope the bacon comes out well!

    @txcritter69 Thank you ! That’s fascinating about the injections and how they worked different, I hope you continue to do fine with the stomach injections. Great job tracking and being careful of what you’re eating!

    @Veta2018 Great job not eating that piece of zucchini bread !

    @AustinRuadhain Your week sounds awesome very healthy week ! The hike sounds so beautiful too. The Painted Bunting is a beauty of a bird!

    @TeresaW2024 So glad no issues with Joe getting up ! Hahaha Joe’s the sweetest loving your “cooking”, still get a kick out of his nachos on his birthday. I get along with older people too that’s too bad they were too old for Joe, they all seem like great communities. Thanks! I drank a Diet cranberry juice bottle then got the “real” (sour) stuff and am working on that, I’m better than yesterday so it’s helping. My friend did pass thank goodness!

    @trooworld Oh the thing I emailed was the day I got my fridge replaced , was just saying we DID get them around the same time since my Facebook memory showed me 3 years ago I posted that. That made me laugh about your MIL not having a smartphone. Does your husband get upset about her being late? Ideally she would do better and you’d be a bit more flexible but multiple hours is a little ridiculous. Thanks my friend did pass thank goodness! I hope this is your last day of PT!

    @Cornanda Congratulations on your daughter finding her apartment , that’s great news her friend is able to be her roommate now. Hugs I’m not good with endings either.

    Hi friends! My friend DID pass her DMV test, she’s so relieved! She’d been putting it off for a long time so glad it’s behind her. I worked out this morning then watered and had to call to check on my BP medicine not being filled. They recently had a computer system change and I was on hold for 2 hours and 30 minutes so the whole time I was at DMV I was listening to that recording and I still don’t know if it’ll be ready or if I need to go to a walk-in clinic. I offered a neighbor tomatoes need to run them over. Have a great Monday!

    @vegan4lyfe2012 I am sure that the reason they don’t want my sister is because of the money, but my idea was that the two deacons who count the money would put it in a sealed envelope. We will see what great alternative they come up with. 😀 I'm glad Sydney’s surgery went well. Awe, those seizures must be so scary! ☹️

    @micaroo4 I like your worry stone! 🙂

    @laurelfit57 I love those videos of Ty! She is totally into the balloon game and loving it! My family used to play that game when I was young. A super cheap way to enjoy family time. 😁  I hope you have a great day celebrating Paisley’s birthday. They do grow up fast! 

    @Katmary71 I’m glad that your friend passed her test. I hate being on hold, and 2 ½ hours of listening to the same recording sounds like torture! I hope you can get your meds without any more issues. 🤨

    @trooworld I hope the doctor will release you from PT like you want. Yeah, you are probably right not to be worried about your mammogram and that it’s nothing. We will hold that thought above all others. OK? ❣️


    Good morning! I was able to get Joe in the car yesterday and run up to the church, so today I will do some work. I’m planning eggs, turkey sausage, and wheat toast for dinner tonight. I love breakfast foods for dinner. OK, I’m off to do a rebounder workout. Yesterday, I jumped to Bruno Mars' music. So much fun!! 😀

    Question: What’s one small daily habit you’ve built that has had a big impact over time?I almost always get up and put on my workout clothes, which then almost always prompts me to do at least a small workout.

    What's one small daily habit you've built that has had a big impact over time?

    Thanks for this question, @trooworld! Food tracking is a key one for me, too. If I track, I start work on food and then other things follow. I am nopt sure this counts as a small daily habit. It's sure important!

    @TeresaW2024 - Congratulations on the loss!

    @trooworld - Congratulations on seeing sucvh big improvements in your knee! I salute you for sticking with the PT. A hug re. the mammogram. I hope all, as expected, goes well.

    @baodell17724 - Wow, that article lists some strange side effects of weight loss!

    @Katmary71 - Hurray for your friend passing the DMV test! Your level of persistence and determination, with the 2.5 hours on hold, amazes me. It takes a lot of grit to navigate the health care system and get what you want out of it. Was that a call to talk to the pharmacy that has been such a pain? Did they just never talk to you? Yikes. Thanks for sharing the kitten stories. I seriously love hearing about all of them.

    @laurelfit57 - Ty playing the balloon game is the cutest! Congratulations on getting those veggies in before the pizza. That is great! All that exercise sounded great!

    @micaroo4 - Your red jasper worry stone is beautiful!

    @bobboyardee - 65 days without bingeing after dinner — congratulations! That is truly fabulous!

    @vegan4lyfe2012 I am glad Sydney's surgery went well. I know next to nothing about gallstones. Does she have to change her diet afterwards so they don't return? It is great that you were there to take care of little Oliver.

    @DrewsAnna - Your pie was gorgeous! Your comment about needing a cherry pitter made me smile. I have been enjoying cherry season, too, but only gone as far as eating them fresh!

    @txcritter69 - Your plan for yesterday sounded excellent. I hope all went well! I am impressed at all the observation and experimentation that goes into the injections.

    @Veta2018 - So you have seen Texas whiptail lizards, too — very cool! How did you day go yesterday? Any baby steps toward your goal? If not, today's a new day!

    I, too, read Heart-Shaped Box a couple of years back. It was a good read. I just finished another horror book, We Spread by Iain Reid. It involves a woman who is aging and has memory issues. Very creepy.

    I let myself get sucked into watching too much video last not (Ballard and then some Bosch). I slept poorly. I think I need to work on sleep habits.

    The plan for today:

    • Long walk before I eat anything
    • Some strength training
    • Food on plan (big green+fruit smoothie for lunch, big salad at dinner)
    • No screens after 9 PM
    • Work on Scouts, convention, and long-distance doctor shopping for my mom
    • Grocery shopping (we need cat food!)

    Question: What’s one small daily habit you’ve built that has had a big impact over time? Tracking is my number one habit that got me to my goal weight and helps me maintain. But it's just one of many small daily habits that I credit for changing my life. Walking every day is another one that had a big impact. Another great one was buying a stand-up desk for work.

    Hi 👋

    Hubby's bacon turned out very good. It has been a process that has taken over a week and last night we had BLT's for dinner. I put extra "l" & "t" on my sandwich, lol… but I had bread twice yesterday and a lot of "test tasting" bacon, so I didn't really make a lot of great choices. I think my weigh in is not going to be so good.

    What’s one small daily habit you’ve built that has had a big impact over time?

    Drinking water. It's rare I drink anything except for water. It's just so good and refreshing. I can feel it when I don't drink enough water.

    Y'all have a great day 😀

    "QUESTION: What’s one small daily habit you’ve built that has had a big impact over time?"

    Buying an indoor stationary bike (and using it consistently now… not like the last one I had 30 years ago that became a very expensive clothes hanger!😄) Fourteen months ago I started using it for 10 minutes a day at the lowest #1 resistance level - I was 285 lbs then. Now I'm at 1 hour a day on the last resistance level #8. It has helped with my weight loss, along with cutting out all junk food, processed food, and using proper portion control. Now at 200 lbs.

    I've been riding my Trike every day. I love it, it was so dusty I had to clean it. I had purchased a cover from the manufacturer, but it was way too big, so I returned it and bought one on Amazon that's the perfect size, easy to take off and put on. I've started collecting spare parts since it takes a month to get a tire if I need one. I now have 1 tire with a tube, and brake pads. I ordered 2 more tires. I'm thinking I need to order brake cables but will ask my husband first

    We are having our air conditioner repaired this Thursday, they rescheduled from Monday.

    I gained a little weight, time to cut back again

    @DrewsAnna - I just planted some new spider plants. My mother plant was getting to many babies on it. And while I had my hands in the dirt, I planted some more herbs from seed to keep indoors.(cilantro, basil, dill, garlic)

    20250721_173150.jpg 20250721_181419.jpg

    @AustinRuadhain - Yesterday, I stuck to the plan but then scarfed down a piece of zucchini bread before bed. I still stayed within my calorie goal but it's the fact that I didn't need to eat and ate it anyways, that bothers me.

    Today, I woke up energetic. I had a great workout and stayed within my calorie goal.

    What’s one small daily habit you’ve built that has had a big impact over time?

    Definitely drinking water. I drink a bottle every morning before I even have my coffee. Then, I drink water the rest of the day. Occasionally, I'll drink an unsweetened tea. I agree with @DrewsAnna . It's so refreshing and the only thing that really clinches the thirst.

    @Veta2018 Love all the healthy spider plants! I’d love another if I could keep my cat out of it. Yay for waking up energetic!

    @FushiaKat So glad you’re enjoying your trike! The cover is a great idea. DO you currently not have air conditioning? I if so I hope it’s not too hot there!

    @baodell17724 You’re doing awesome I’m glad your stationary bike is so helpful! I loved mine when I was able to use it since I could read at the same time. One day I hope to do it again. Congrats at being back at 200!

    @DrewsAnna Between the husband making bacon and you making pie your house sounds like it has some awesome food!

    @micaroo4 You ’ve made great habits and have been doing awesome I’m glad you’re doing so well.

    @AustinRuadhain Ha I’m still going to have to go to Sacramento to the urgent clinic to get my prescription as I haven’t filled it in a few months (not sure why I had so much extra but now they don’t trust me that I need it even though I take it religiously and have a BP monitor. I go to a clinic and the person who last filled it left so the refills going to him were being ignored. I let them know after all the time yesterday I’ve been seeing someone different who hasn’t filled it yet so I’ll need to go to the urgent walk-in clinic. Sleep habits are a great idea to work on, is it watching TV that made it tough to sleep or staying up late?

    @TeresaW2024 Thank you! I’m glad you were able to get some work done today. Your dinner sounds awesome I ordered something similar for lunch yesterday after we were at the DMV.

    WHAT’S ONE SMALL DAILY HABIT YOU’VE BUILT THAT HAS HAD A BIG IMPACT OVER TIME? Logging too and joining this group, it’s helped me stick with it when I would’ve given up before.

    @trooworld I hope all is well with the mammogram, I’m a “dense breast tissue” too and the callback is nerve-wracking, hope you can get in fast and find out all is okay soon. Fingers crossed your doctor releases you from PT.

    Hi gang! Kittens had to go on antibiotics, the smaller litter has lost weight and the older four kittens have barely gained this last week. A woman from the group came over and helped me get the girl into the bathroom so I can medicate her. We did it at Noon and it should be every 12 hours so I think I’ll give them a little less so I don’t have to stay up real late. Made a bunch of mushroom kits but I always feel in the way at the farm in the office so don’t know if I’ll take them there. I’m going to have to go to Sacramento for the prescription as it wasn’t filled since Feb (had a lot leftover apparently) so they don’t trust I’m taking my medication or know how to use a BP monitor. Frustrating as the drive is real hard for me. Haven’t been feeling the best so did a light workout. Gotta go water have a great Wed!

    Hi 👋

    @Veta2018 I love your spider plant. I also spied a prayer plant. I had such a hard time with mine until I got a garden window. It's so happy now.

    I'm not surprised about the gain. Between homemade pie with ice cream and homemade bacon. It was inevitable.

    20250721_144522.jpg 20250722_215759.jpg

    It's really good and oh, so dangerous 😳

    I listened to Ozzy all day yesterday. The godfather of metal is gone, I was so sad to hear it. I didn't really listen to Black Sabbath, but everything after that was a big part of my 20's and 30's, lol.... I'm such an 80's girl.

    We are going camping next week and I will be out of cell service.

    Y'all have a great day 😀

    @trooworld Thank you! Shoot that’s scary about the breast calcifications, I’m glad they’re getting you back in there fast. I can’t wait to see what you wear to Comic-Con! I’ve never had Kale-Walnut pesto definitely saving it to try.

    @DrewsAnna I can see why the gain with pie and bacon! I’m sad about Ozzy I think if you didn’t like him before (which I did) the Back To The Beginning concert swayed a lot of people into liking and respecting him. I like Black Sabbath and Ozzy, I think donating proceeds of the concert was such a class act. Living with severe pain I’m glad he’s no longer in pain but it’s still a big loss for the metal scene.

    Hi friends! Quiet around here today I hope everyone’s okay today! I got my prescription after a few hours in Sacramento but it hasn’t been filled yet for some reason so I probably won’t get it until tomorrow. I stopped at Walmart as Costco isn’t opening for the public until 10 again and after getting some stuff at Walmart I decided to go home and skip Costco. Have a great Thursday friends.

    @trooworld Oh my goodness, I am so sorry about your car! What a terrible thing for someone to do. Hopefully, the jewelry making will help distract you from all your stresses. ♥️

    Good morning! Not much is going on around here other than trying to keep my man alive. Over the last couple of days, Joe has been experiencing worsening symptoms with his ability to sit and stand, because he is forgetting how to make his body work. Sitting hasn’t been as hard because I can sort of push him down, but standing is much harder. I can’t keep hauling him up by his arm, so I need to figure something out before one of us gets hurt. Getting him up off the couch is the worst, so I’m thinking about buying a lift chair. He won’t like not being able to sit right next to me, but I think it will be for the best. My bestie is coming for coffee today, and I will give her a T-shirt I bought her that says, “Chicken Raising, Jesus Praising.” She will love it! 😂

    @trooworld - The recipe sounds delicious. I have some kale from my garden that I'll use to make it. I'd like to take my son to Comic-Con sometime. He' been wanting to go. I know it feels scary, but keep in mind, calcium deposits don't always mean cancer. It just sucks that you have to wait til Tuesday to ease your mind. «HUG» I can't believe someone just hit your car and didn't say anything. I'd be investigating. I'd look for a car near with damage.

    I was sad to here about Ozzy's passing. I've seen him in concert, solo and with Black Sabbath, a dozen times. We stood in line for 6 hours one day to get photos and autographs of all of Black Sabbath. He was my first husbands favorite singer.

    Yesterday, My 73 year old uncle was found on the side of the road in East Chicago with a bloody face. Someone seen him, called the ambulance, and he was taken to the hospital. I guess someone beat him up and stole his scooter or something. He doesn't remember anything but his scooter is gone and he needed picked up at the hospital.

    I had another good workout and stayed within my calorie goal.

    Hi 👋

    We are getting ready for another camping trip. I'll be out of cell service range. We are leaving Tuesday and coming home Sunday. @Katmary71 I will need to skip my weigh in next week, please.

    I'm going to be really busy with packing very soon.

    Yesterday, I did a 10 min total body strength workout. It felt good, lol…. I'm so weak 🤣😅😅 my hope is, strength 3 times a week and walk a couple times when it's not to hot to be out. I really have been very bad about exercising.

    Last night we finished the pie, lol… it was sure good, but I'm glad it's gone.

    Y'all have a great day 😀

    @DrewsAnna Where are you going camping this time? Great job on the workout!

    @Veta2018 Wow your poor uncle that’s horrible!

    @trooworld I look forward to seeing your tee for Comic-Con! That’s horrible someone hit your car and didn’t leave a note I’m so sorry. I can’t believe people sometimes. Understandable to be stressed between that and the mammogram. I love the idea of a banned book-theme bracelet very cool!

    @TeresaW2024 I love your friend’s tee shirt too fun! Would Joe be able to use a seated walker to help getting up and down? I think the lift is a better idea as if he’s forgetting how to do things locking the brakes would be hard to remember on the walker. Maybe the lift chair could be right next to your spot on the couch?

    Hi team! Have a plant sale meeting tonight, not sure I want to commit to it but if one or two more people are willing to water at the greenhouse it’s our best bet for healthy plants. My partner at the greenhouse had originally said she wasn’t committing to anything after the mushrooms but she’s coming around now and offered to water once so we’ll see how it goes tonight. Got my prescription, yay! Have a great Friday team. I sent pics to my email so I’ll post kitten pics in a few.
