I was away for the weekend for a concert of my favorite band (Cowboy Junkies) and I know this is a rhetorically question but why is it that when your relaxed/on vacation/no work stress it’s so much easier to get your fruits/veggies eaten vs fast food. I know I just answered my own question…stress. It’s like the chicken/egg…

I have to agree with you. I’m originally from NY state & live in the midwest now. When I go to the Farmers Market on Saturdays the fruit/veg doesn’t always look the greatest or needs a thorough wash but tastes so much better than the weak/water store bought same types & you get more varieties than store carries, 5-6+ types…

Okay semi fail last night, but slight save. So I try not eat pizza as much as I did when I was younger (haha As a kid no one counts their slices. I’m talking 20’s through 40s.) My partner offered to make me a salad, but I just wasn’t in mood. But the pizza had sausage , olives, mushrooms, and green peppers on it so it was…

I had a 3 day trip for some medical checkups but tried to get greens in when I could. Dinner at Italian place-pasta/scallops with asparagus, sundried tomatoes, zucchini Greek salad for lunch one day I had to past from 6pm on till late monday, but Sunday for dinner I had a buffalo chicken salad: lettuce, tomato, chicken,…

Breakfast/brunch this morning-another tomato & Swiss omelette with cantaloupe & green grapes for some liquid natural sweetness.

Last 2 weeks kind of a slow start. Back to work/the school year started with training a new teacher-librarian coworker & 5 new library assistants, not much room for my own work/goals. So trying to start September off better. For breakfast (no picture) but had an omelette with Swiss cheese & tomatoes. Lunch was Greek salad…

Hello, Sorry first full week of school, but training 4 new people is kind of crushing me & not letting me have enough time to keep up with my own work. It was supposed to be for a vegetarian lunch, but I only had time to eat some French Fries (not pictured) so i added some left over breaded chicken and had this salad for…

Last night we took my nephew to Red Lobster for a belated birthday. While being around cheddar bay biscuits is dangerous I did have a house salad with mango/pineapple vinaigrette & a side of broccoli to get greens in for day. I also had some stuffed button mushrooms (but as they are fungi not sure I’d count as a veg). For…

@BodyTalking is the geletin a way to add more collagen in your diet or for something else?

I’m definitely not young, but I feel like a newbie when it comes to eating fruit/veg, especially greens. Before I got married I was a pescatarian, but moving to the midwest when I married destroyed that. It’s all pork & beef out here & my partner is a big meat eater. Many years later and a whole lot of gained weight I’m…

@mkksemail Hello, thanks for the warm welcome! I really need to amp my f/v. I was originally in Slytherin for several terms (it’s my wizarding world house) but for dual houses I am a Slytherclaw so when they needed a prefect I said I would do it. That was for about a year’s worth of terms, but I’m still in Ravenclaw.…

I know Term 46-Hogwarts Challenge will be fun with the Half Blood Prince theme and it will be here before you know it. Nice to have a fun structure for fitness!

Do you mean the checkmarks/emoji’s…i’m on my iphone & those are all texting emojis I use. My problem is that since about 1 1/2-2weeks ago my phone keeps saying failed to upload when i try to post a photo now. I can still post photos on a laptop just not on phone…i’ve tried troubleshooting it several times but no luck yet.…

Dragons are tough (unless it’s Puff the magic dragon 🐉). My family has a history of diabetes type 2 (for most part) & kidney problems….I’m now pretty sure it’s on my mom’s side genetically. I thought I was lucky to miss it, but nope. First I had trouble with weight/fertility, which lead to s Type 2 diabetes diagnosis on…

@impishme909 Here is a list of anti-inflammatory books/cookbooks I've seen on Amazon while searching. I will get back with a list later tonight, but I am working late as my main mental health goal today & tomorrow is getting some dang book orders done for work that are way past deadline and stressing me like crazy-taking…

I hope you don’t mind that I joined, though I’m not sure what this group will be like, but everyone needs support. I have Chronic Kidney disease, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, and Type 2 diabetes (pretty controlled most of the time). I had a kidney transplant on 9/11/21 and I’m trying to find my new norm of what I can or can’t…

Happy New Year, All! How’s the sprinting to Scotland going? Any goals or new habits for the new year ? OMG, it’s 18 degrees with real feel of 6 “maybe” i’ll shoot for the 29min outside ICY? Yesterday it was zero with a real feel of minus 20. It’s practically balmy out today.

@Allaesa72 and @Neon_Vampire I too have a version of Harry Potter trivial pursuit I can’t find anyone to play with me (as well as a Jane Austen board game). IDK maybe some how here in Slytherin one of our games could be trivial pursuit / board game based (rename the 4 teams on your board w/slytherin names -Salazar’s Team,…
