Did you ask her why she quit MFP "cold turkey"? Did you tell her how much she is missed?

Fri — Try a new route to work/your favorite place today. Enjoy the drive! Sat — Try a new beverage today (dress up your water or tea with a different enhancer/fruit.

Wed — Try a new meal today. Well, I kinda did that on Monday when I indulged in the Tipsy Toast breakfast. What a treat! But I might have an old meal today — using a new meal deal: Nation's Giant Burger — hamburger, fries & a drink for $10!

Couldn't I have said the same thing, talking about both of you?

Tues — Try a new exercise/activity today. I didn't actually do this activity but I watched a couple videos and shopped for a broadsword. I do tai chi on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and after our regular hour-long session, several people stay and do what is called the knife form or broadsword form of Yang Tai Chi. I want to…

Yum maybe? I am not a beer drinker (don't like the taste of hops), but I found a wheat beer that is okay. If the opportunity arises, I'll try an Oatmeal Stout. triple chocolate brownies (I'll probably make some later today)

true, I bought an Instant Pot which I've used once, and I bought a potato ricer that I used once or twice several years ago. TNP is planning to start a new exercise routine that will require purchasing some gear specific to that exercise.

@micukica Don't be sorry. I imagine we've all experienced moments of discouragement or lack of motivation. What's important is that you keep going. If I may suggest, when you fall off the horse, get right back on. Ask your teammate about that. 😉😆

Here's the results for August Step Challenge Week #2: I out-stepped @Zaxa2021 — by less than 1,000 steps, and only because of my double steps on Saturday. I'm hoping my steps today (last day of a weekly Garmin challenge) will earn me silver or bronze in the August Steps Podium challenge. I'm currently in third place (I…

Sun — Try a new fruit today. I had brunch with my brother and sister-in-law. Since I'd been obsessing about French toast for a week, I saw this on the menu and couldn't resist trying it. Technically, it's not a new fruit, but it's definitely a new version of French toast : Tipsy Toast — Thick sliced Challah bread dipped in…

How many times do you think I've been editing a spreadsheet—where all the data is in columns A thru J, let's say, and rows 1 thru 200—and woken up with the cursor in column AZ and/or row 2,000? 😂

I had thought optimistically that I'd make today—yesterday actually, since it's almost 1 am Sunday now—a big adventure day. I had a concert to go to 100 miles away. And I thought I could stop and hike at a lake along the way. And I've been wanting to rent a kayak there. So here was my grand ambitious plan: 30-60 minutes:…
