@Veta2018 So sorry about your uncle! What a terrible thing to do to anyone, but especially evil when it’s an elderly person. I hope he can get a new scooter if that is what he wants. ☹️
@Katmary71 We do use a seated walker /transport chair in the house that I push him around in. He can’t use the walker portion because he is so weak and has lost his balance. It’s the forgetting how to do things that makes everything we do so much harder. I’m glad you got your Rx. I want to see those kitties!! 😍
@AustinRudhain I like that quote a lot! 🙂
@Laurelfit57 Thank you! ♥️Paisley is my kinda of retail shopping girl!! Poor grandma! 😆Ohhh my goodness, I’m glad you didn’t get hurt on those rocks and yayyy for not spilling your coffee. The dogs look so cute!
@trooworld Yikes, I’m glad you have insurance too! Car repairs are so expensive. Your dinner sounds good. I hope you have a good workout at the gym. What are your favorite things to do there? Congrats on your loss this week!🙂
Good morning! Woke up at 3:30 am, wondering why it was sooooo hot in my room. Yup, my air isn’t working! 😡 I will be on the phone in just a few minutes to get someone out here ASAP! I’m just praying it can be fixed easily and won’t cost a fortune. Especially since I just bought a lift recliner from Wayfair yesterday. I think Joe will like the new chair, and the placement I've chosen will give him a broader view of the entire house than just what he sees from the couch. It also has heat and massage. I know he will love the heat feature! OK, I’m off to make a phone call before it gets any hotter in here. 🥵
ICE BREAKER QUESTION OF THE WEEK: If your partner or best friend could get you to change one of your habits, what would it be, and why? Probably, that I would handle my stress without being so vocal about it. 😀5 -
Hi 👋
I stayed pretty busy yesterday. I had to do some in depth dusting/cleaning in my bedroom because my allergies are out of this world. They seem to get worse every year. Now, I need to do the living room 😩 I use to like dusting, but I hate it now because I have to much stuff lol.... 🙄
Today, is a strength day again. Lol, I'm looking forward to it.
Chipper has an appt to get his nails done today, and he loves going to the store, but when we get to pet grooming he tries to go the other way. It's actually funny, and a pain in the bootay at the same time.
I'm going to Naches, a place where people go camping and ride their buggies and rock crawling in their and stuff like that. I am going just to camp though. Our buggy is down and I can't climb into the jeeps with my knees being like they are.
ICE BREAKER QUESTION OF THE WEEK: If your partner or best friend could get you to change one of your habits, what would it be, and why?Procrastination,I'm bad with procrastinating.I always wait until the last-minute to do things.Y'all have a great day 😀4 -

Lost 1.2lbs 🙌😊 so happy. Was aiming for 2lbs but glad I still lost weight even though it was mom's bday, and two family trips and I endulged a bit. Proud of myself. The low carb no sugar diet is working for me. I do not crave sugar anymore when I am doing it right. Daily salad and have been active and working out for the past two weeks.

Kitten pics! The two black and white boys Stubby in the front (has half a tail) and Major in the back who always looks surprised. After them is Star who doesn't like me, I just realized seeing the picture larger she looks like the main character in A Clockwork Orange with one eye lined, she doesn't think very highly of me. Next is when they were all taking turns in my lap, we have Chewy the one who almost didn't make it and my sweet Hans (Han Solo) who is small but can hold his own with the two tuxedo cats. Then we have Luke, Star, and Hans on the scratcher hanging out. The last photo is Raye the sweet girl we think may be a dwarf kitten. They just rescued the three kittens and mom left behind and 8/10 are boys, can you imagine how many kittens would've been in that neighborhood in a year?!

ICE BREAKER QUESTION OF THE WEEK: If your partner or best friend could get you to change one of your habits, what would it be, and why?
I asked my wife what would she change about me. She couldn’t think of anything. I’m sticking with that and there’s no chance I’m asking her tomorrow.

@Cornanda congrats on the loss !!
@trooworld I wish we had a Trader Joe's here , your dinner sounds yummy!! I was thinking it was a tiny ding to your bumper, there is no way whoever did that didn't notice😡.
Congrats on the loss, you are killing it!!
@TeresaW2024 nothing hurt but my pride and dignity , so glad I was in the middle of mother and there were no witnesses🤣. Yikes on the side, I hope you can get it fixed quickly!!
My mom got one of those lift chairs last winter and she just loves it, I hope Joe feels the same.
@Katmary71 those kittens are so cute !!! I love how they lay around in piles♥️. That is absolutely crazy, that neighbourhood would have been absolutely overrun with kittens
I took the morning off from the gym this morning. It has been such a terrifically busy week that I just felt like I needed a morning to catch up around here before my grandkids came over this afternoon. It was lovely, I got my vacuuming and dusting done , the dogs and I had a lovely walk. It felt good not to be racing like a mad woman. I did not do well at my sequencing at all today, tomorrow is another day!

CW - 223.8Not made any real progress in July and we are going away for 2 weeks in 2 weeks time. Trying to see the maintenance as positive but I kno I could have achieved more if I’d tracked properly and made different choices. Not going to think sod it and ‘I’ll get back in focus after our holiday’ though, going to try and stick with it for the next 2 weeks and commit to actually using the app daily.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: If your partner or best friend could get you to change one of your habits, what would it be, and why?
Well, my partner passed away in 2001, so he might be asking why I'm taking so good care of myself, because he's lonely! 😯 [Yeah, my "humor" can be a tad bit dark!]
My friends (back in in NYC and the Metro-NYC region) would want me to stay in ZOOM contact with them more often, since living in North-Central PA for the past nearly 5 years.

Definitely not a weight-loss cure by any stretch of the imagination (well, IMHO, at least):
"…On average, people who took semaglutide (sold as Ozempic or Wegovy) or tirzepatide (sold as Mounjaro or Zepbound) regained 53-63% of the weight after stopping the medication, despite continuing the lifestyle changes…"😥

@Katmary71 Those sweet babies are soooooo cute!!!😍😽
@trooworld I also like Romanian deadlifts. I like most moves, especially those targeting the upper body. I hate pushups and lunges. When is Comic-Con? I know you are excited! 😀
@baodell17724 Welcome to Onederland! 😎🤩
Good morning! I got an air conditioner repairman out yesterday morning, and something was blocked and had to be unblocked. Cost $460!! 😮 My sister said it happened because I just bought a chair. No doubt! 😂 Nothing planned for today other than doing a workout and washing my hair. I need to put together a menu and a Walmart order. Have a good day!

@DrewsAnna - I hope you have an enjoyable camping trip. My husband and I have been talking about camping somewhere local.
@laurelfit57 - Cute pictures of Vannie and Ty swimming. Benny hates water. He shakes when I give him a bath. He shakes when we take him in to get his nails done too. He's getting better with fireworks and thunderstorms. Instead of shaking he barks now…lol
@Katmary71 - Those kittens are so adorable. My husband and I talked about getting a kitten. A Garfield looking cat and we'd name him Jetz. Then we'd have Benny and Jetz…lol
@baodell17724 - WooHoo! Congrats on the loss!
@trooworld - Mmm…your dinner sounds delicious.
My husband finally retired from his union job on July 1st. We still do tree work together, a couple times a week. Thursday It was brutal. It was 101 with the heat index. We had to take several breaks under a shaded tree. We ate fast food. I chose just the chicken sandwich, no fries. Yesterday, we went on a couple nature walks and I used this new app, on my phone, to identify different plant. Then, when we got home, I used it throughout our woods and properties. We went to the fair last night. I didn't see any healthy options, so I had an Italian sausage, then cheese fries and then before we went home my husband bought me a banana split. This morning, I did a good workout. Hoping that will makeup for the eating I did yesterday. Also, we have a picnic to attend today. I'm going to try to make good choices but at least, I already burned some calories.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK: If your partner or best friend could get you to change one of your habits, what would it be, and why?
Sometimes, I have an annoying habit of interrupting or finish other peoples sentences. I guess I do this as a way to show I'm following along with what's being said. I don't know.

@trooworld , you need to be careful with your knees when doing lunges. If my knees hurt at all, I don’t do them. There are plenty of leg exercises to build our quads without hurting our knees. 👍I love the new jewelry! I hope you have a great day at Comic Con and that your knees don’t cause any drama!
Good morning! Yesterday was quite the day! It was around 11 am and Joe had to go to the bathroom, but he proceeded to pass out while sitting in his wheelchair. I got him half-awake and onto the toilet when the doorbell rang. It was three ladies from the women’s Bible study group, bringing us a lovely gift basket to express their care for us. I knew they were coming, but forgot, and one of the women forgot to text me that they were on the way. Unfortunately, I had to give them quick hugs and usher them out the door so I could get back to Joe. They were so understanding and offered to help, which of course I declined. Joe was so out of it that he went back to bed for three hours. I cried over the basket full of thoughtful things. There were lotions, protein shakes, a 1000-piece puzzle, candy, gift cards to DoorDash and Starbucks, and even a few toys for Maggie Mae. I cried at the generosity of these sweet ladies and how much I miss being a part of them. I’m supposed to be the one who puts gift baskets together, not the one receiving them! Today, I need to cut Joe’s hair and attempt a shower without drama. I also have a three-hour Zoom meeting this afternoon with the church leadership, for which I may or may not be fully present. Wish me luck! 🙂

Goal weight: 120 lbs.
The week started off good. Towards the end of the week, I made a lot of bad food choices. Yesterday, I had 3 White Claws at the picnic and we ended up going back to the fair again last night.
@trooworld - The bracelets and necklace look great. I hope your knees don't give you too much trouble so you have an enjoyable time at Comic-Con.
Would anyone like to be my partner for this weeks walking challenge?

@laurelfit57 - The balloon videos of Ty are SO cute! I like shopping, but 7 hours at the mall is a long time- clearly you are a wonderful grandma
@trooworld - Ugh about your car, and I LOVE your Comic Con creations! Hope it was an awesome day, free of knee pain
@TeresaW2024 - oh goodness, I'm glad your air is fixed, wish it wasn't so expensive. The gift basket sounds awesome- what a sweet gesture, I would be crying too. I hope that Joe's shower went well today.
@DrewsAnna - have fun camping!
@Katmary71 - LOVE, LOVE the kitten pix. I was wondering how you could tell a kitten had dwarfism, but I see her legs are shorter than the others. They are all cuties and lucky to have you to get them off to a good start
@19shmoo69 - that was a great answer your wife gave you
@allimalli - it's OK if life slows down your progress for awhile, soon you'll be back at it
@baodell17724 - Congrats on making it to Onederland!
@Veta2018 - How awful what happened to your uncle. I hope he is OK. Yay for a good work out! I am also working on my interrupting habit…..
@AustinRuadhain - Congrats on being #1!
Well….. DD is moved out. It looked like she had a LOT of stuff and she moved into a third floor walk up. It went much better than I expected. Her BF did a LOT of work. She moved in with a girlfriend and her place is really nice. I washed up most of her kitchen items and put them away for her. We had everyone over for a dinner and now she is really, truly gone. DH and I are understandably feeling emotional today. However we are very excited for her new beginning- new job, new home- she's been ready for this for a long time.
We also found out that DS has a job offer and will be making substantially more than he is now, so that was wonderful news.
My kids both have bachelors degrees, but were unable to find jobs after graduation……Neither one is using their bachelor's degree for their job…….I don't think this is the place to discuss the job market, but I'm not a fan.
Wishing everyone a good week!
Lisa

@trooworld sorry about your car, that is so frustrating! very cool you are going to comic-con, but your avatar should have been my first clue!
What’s one small daily habit you’ve built that has had a big impact over time?
Not small for me, but not bingeing after dinner for the last 71 DAYS has had a huge impact. I had this shame→binge→shame spiral that lasted years. I am so grateful to The Mission Slimpossibles for supporting me.
@Katmary71 I'm going to be away from internet tomorrow (yay) so here is my weigh-in early:
Monday Check in: 📥Days without eating after dinner: 71
Starting Weight: 214.7
Previous Week: 200.2
Current Weight: 200.0

Hi 🐝
@trooworld that cd/dvd bracelet is so cool.
TToday, I have to start prepping food and get the refrigerator turned on in the trailer, so I can fill ice cube trays. Today &tomorrow are going to be very busy days. I JUST found out there's going to be 10-15 more people than I thought, so I have to rethink food. I hope my anxiety can handle about 25-30 people 😬😳
I wish I could participate in the walking challenge, but I'm not going to have any cell service up in the mountains.
Y'all have a great day 😀

@trooworld Great planning for Comic-Con I’m sure that will help knowing you’re prepared for anything! The handicap placard is hit or miss depending on how many older people are somewhere (like Costco you never get close disability parking at least not here! I’m glad you got the chance to craft while having coffee how fun. I love your jewelry hope you have the best time ever! Beautiful necklace.
@TeresaW2024 Oh my goodness what a hectic situation needing to keep an eye on Joe when the women came! Very sweet of them I’m glad you have them in your life it’s so thoughtful how much they geared it to you. Hope there’s no drama today and the Zoom goes well!
@Veta2018 I can’t walk much or I’d join you in the challenge, you got this!
WAY TO GO MISSION SLIMPOSSIBLES ON 2ND PLACE FOR THE WEEK BY POUND AND PERCENTAGE!!!! @AustinRuadhain Great job leading the entire Fat2Fit group! @Cornanda @digger61 @19shmoo69 Great job leading the pack !
@Cornanda Thank you! We’re suspicious of Raye’s legs and her head/facial features. Hugs congratulations to your daughter but hugs for feeling emotional that would be so hard. That’s great news on your son’s job offer!
@bobboyardee Incredible job on 71 days without bingeing!
@DrewsAnna Wow that’s a huge increase in people good luck figuring it all out!
Hi friends! Been trying to get caught up on processing stuff from the garden, the dehydrator’s been busy! Made some sauce, lemon basil lemonade, and lemon chicken breasts and put away a bunch of seeds. One of the kittens is getting worse instead of better, someone’s coming to check the poor guy out tomorrow. Have to get to bed have a great Monday!
