@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.

💪Mission Slimpossible Strong!💪

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!

@lislisa123 Hugs to you, you can do it!

@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.

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?

@TeresaW2024 Thank you ! How terrible for Joe (and you), oh gosh! It sounds like a chair lift is a good idea. I hope you enjoy coffee with your BFF. That's a funny shirt. :)

@Veta2018 I hope you enjoy it . Comic-Con is a lot of fun for both kids and adults! I hope you guys get to go someday. Yeah, the deposits are probably nothing but you are exactly right: it's a long wait and I am worried. There is another car at the end of the lot with damage (red reflector pieces on the ground where he was parked) but I think what more likely happened was some rando person came into the lot in the middle of the night and tried to turn around and hit us both. Ugh. People suck! LOL I liked Ozzy's music. It was sad he passed. That is absolutely awful, what happened to your uncle! And another example of people sucking. I'm sorry that happened. Good job with the workout and the calories!

@DrewsAnna Have fun camping !

@Katmary71 It's snarky and a bit naughty , I warn you! LOL Thank you. Yes, people are the worst, I prefer animals lol. Good luck with the plant sale. I'm glad you got your prescription! I need to pick up a prescription.

@laurelfit57 MFP is not easy to use sometimes ! :) Yes, I am going to keep on them about this situation. I will be proactive! Thank you. Yes, Comic-Con will distract me and the leading up to it is going to keep me busy, making jewelry and a t-shirt. I will take a picture! I love making this stuff!!! Thank you, yes, people suck lol. 7 hours at the mall, wow, that would be a lot! I am sure that was exhausting. I'm glad Paisley had fun. OH my, are you okay? Good that you didn't spill your coffee! :) I bet my dogs would enjoy the water. Maybe not Violet, she's scared of everything. But they love baths, so maybe. I hope you have fun with the grandkiddos. Cute pictures! Thanks for sharing.

@davors19 @Cornanda Way to go !

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 my anxiety about leaving on time. He's always on time or late. My motto is "If I'm on time, I'm late." So, he gets mad when I rush him.

Hi all. I worked yesterday and at work, they were giving the students free acai bowls so I took one and put it in the freezer for today. It should be good. I made something easy for dinner last night: I took Trader Joe's dill pickle mini falafel and air-fried them. I put them on air-fried garlic naan from TJs as well. I then put lettuce and zhoung sauce along with tzatziki sauce. It was really good. Today is my work-from-home day. After work, I am going to the gym and then the final free concert in the park. Here's a pic of the damage to my car, the estimate from insurance said it would cost $2850 to repair this little amount of damage! I'm glad I have insurance.

Tracked yesterday? YES

My phrase for the year: "A new era of me."

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?!

@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

@19shmoo69 🤣

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!

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.

@TeresaW2024 They are ! Thank you. I did have a good workout, it felt good and the gym wasn't too busy (thankfully!). I love to do Romanian deadlifts, cable lat pulldowns, leg presses, and I am learning to love push-ups (although I only do them on the rail of the gym so far, not even knee push-ups yet). What are your faves? Thank you! Ugh, i work up at 3:30 today as well. Your air isn't working? Oh no! I hope it's an easy fix. That sounds like a nice chair, I hope Joe likes it. I know he won't be right beside you but hopefully the view will make up for it.

@Littlebabekitty Congrats on the loss ! You should be proud of yourself! Great job.

@Katmary71 Awwww ! You are doing such a good job with those kittens. Well done! They are so cute. I know that must be really rewarding to raise them. I'm sure Star likes you or maybe she doesn't like anyone lol. They are all so cute. Thanks for sharing. How are you doing?

@laurelfit57 Oh yes , Trader Joe's is awesome! I'm sorry you don't have one there. Oh no, there is NO way they didn't notice! Thank you! Sometimes we need a day or weekend off from the gym and that's okay. I'm glad you got some things done.

@baodell17724 Woo hoo ! Congrats!!! I have a dark sense of humor, too. I often get people looking at me strangely when I make jokes lol.

Hi all. We made it to the gym after work and it felt good to work out. I hadn't been there in a week. The concert in the park was nice but it was surprisingly a little cold. There were a lot of people there. Today, we are getting groceries, going for coffee, and I'm making my shirt and jewelry for Comic-Con.

Tracked yesterday? YES

My phrase for the year: "A new era of me."

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…"😥
