Welcome back Tom.

Hey everybody. It's Wednesday. A decent night sleep last night (I don't remember waking up, which I suppose is good). Carol is apparently going to be participating in the Chicago Tough Mudder in May, so I'll be driving up for this (although not sure yet about participating). I'm in no shape to do ANYTHING at the moment…

Mark, that wasn't very nice of you to say. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Actually, it's what needs to be said. Heron, I'm feeling the same way. Lazy and unmotivated (again) and as you said, it doesn't matter way. I just need to do what I know I need to do.

Mark, gotta love that CZ. 70,000 rounds? Awesome!!!! And Kelly out rocking the M9A1. Woohoo!!! Sorry, I got a bit excited there.. :wink:

Thanks Kim. Dang, I feel bad for you and this crazy travel day. I would probably be ready to just walk the rest of the way.

My veggie challenge has turned into a failure. I realize there is still a week left and I could probably get close to 30 veggies in. Still, it didn't turn out like I had hoped. I might have to do another challenge over the summer, once the local farmers' market opens up.

Monday morning everybody. I want to apologize for not being the most active around here. Again, I'm struggling with things and it's really getting old! I think I desperately need some time away from home but that unfortunately probably won't happen until July (at least anything extended). :disappointed: I think what I…

Sunday Sunday Sunday. Spent some time with some friends at the range today. They have recently become interested in shooting (yay). Did my weekly vlog yesterday (moving it to Friday). I'm on a roller coaster and not diggin' it. I've got to get myself off this thing and get headed in the right direction.

Happy Saturday.

Finally, it's officially spring!

Happy Wednesday. Slept better last night again. I'm getting there. Kim, how was your birthday Carb Nite? Hope you had a great day! :joy: TJ, I'll have to try out that cookie recipe. I love cookies! cookie: Even though I haven't been doing the best with my eating or exercise, I actually was able to wear another pair of my…

My new veggies have been lacking the past couple of days. I've been eating some but just nothing new yet. Have some sweet potatoes, tomatoes, potatoes and that darn rutabaga to do something with. That will put me at about 20 total veggies for the month. Still some work to get those last 10 veggies. :smile:

It's Tuesday, which means it's not Monday! :wink: Slept better last night. Not waking up at 1:00 or 1:30 is nice. Forgot to fill out my food journal again but I'll take care of that. I have to get better about doing it, as I haven't for a few days now. Grrrrrr... But I've been getting back to eating better, so that's good.…

It's Monday folks. Didn't sleep the greatest last night but the positive thing is I may be back on a more 'normal' sleep schedule. Let's hope I can continue that trend. I didn't get in any jaunting this weekend but I did a lot of stuff around the house. Tonight I'll restart the jaunts, as I know I desperately need them.

Good morning all. No vlog this week. I'm changing my vlog days to Friday as I'm tired of two weighins a week (darn scale!!!!). I'll update my weight from Friday and go from there. Hope everybody is having a good weekend. More housecleaning for me today. I did find out yesterday that my stove is actually black!!!! :wtf:…

I decided to not participate in the Whole30 this time around. I'm still working on my own plan and don't want to start something new. Plus, and I hate to admit this, I NEED my scale. I hate that darn thing but I have to weigh in weekly or I get completely outta whack.

Had some broccoli yesterday and some sauteed corn & red peppers tonight with my steak. Kris, edamame is a veggie. And definitely try jicama. I love it! Nice and crunchy. I bought a rutabega today today. Going to try to make some mash out of it.

Hey everybody. Finally got on to post. Did some house cleaning today (nowhere near what I should have done, but at least I started - hehehe). Kim, I can't believe there is such a thing as an indoor mountain bike park. That's way too cool!

Good morning everybody. Short post as I have some errands to run. I'll check back in later with everybody.

'FRIDAY'!!!! I know, not for everybody but it is for me. :stuck_out_tongue: Not a great night sleep last night. Only positive was I actually woke up later than I have in months! Maybe, MAYBE I can finally get this sleeping thing in order. I ran out of lavender oil Tuesday, which I'm sure is part of why I didn't sleep very…

Jicama on Monday (didn't eat much else as I was sick) and some sauteed mushrooms with garlic yesterday,

Kris, we can do this, right?

It's Wednesday. That is all. :smile:

Completely understand. I did one a few years ago and loved it (even shared some with my neighbor). Then that vendor actually had to stop farming completely (personal reasons). Really hated to see them go as they were the best vendor at the market (the yummiest veggies).

Hmm, perhaps I need to do this now. I'm kinda all over the place as of late and maybe trying this out is just another way to get me back where I should be. I'll have to go back and check the Whole30 stuff but darn it, count me in! At least I won't cheat and have sucralose like Carol. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :smiley:

Hey everybody. I'm back after a day of being mostly horizontal. I didn't ear much yesterday. Feeling better today so back on track (hopefully). John, I don't care what the heck time we use - just stick to ONE!!!! :stuck_out_tongue: Heron, sounds like you were very busy Sunday. What? A grill going and no man offered to take…

Heron, thanks for the suggestion. What will be new this year? Actually BUYING veggies at the market again. The past two years I haven't really bought much. I was hoping to get into a CSA this year but the ones I know of have all filled up. Oh well, I'll plan better next year. :)

Morning peeps. It's days like this that I wished I lived in Arizona. This time change thing should be abolished. Ok, time to get up, weigh in and vlog.

Hi everybody. Jeez, I feel like I've fallen off the face of the earth compared to my usual posting here. I know I only missed a day but still. I had a good weighin yesterday for the FB maintenance challenge but up over last week's 'official' (my vlog) challenge. Hoping to be down tomorrow, as that's usually how it goes.…

Just finished a salad with a new veggie for me - hearts of palm. Interesting flavor. Arugula with apple, radish & hearts of palm and some awesome olive oil. Oh and something called coconut bacon. I had to try it. I'm so ready for the farmers market too. I've not been the best at getting much produce from the vendors the…
