@Veta2018 Thanks , we do make a lot of good food! Thank you. Would it help you to put your workouts on your calendar? @TeresaW2024 Me too , I hate when I have a headache, I'm such a wimp when it comes to headaches, I can't do anything with one! I am experiencing them less often. I think because I'm not taking Ibuprofen (I…

@fabgeekmom Thanks ! Good job with the walk. When you walk, do you listen to music or a book or anything? I hope you stay safe with that hurricane coming. Will it reach you, or will it just be windy and rainy? Hi all. Not only did I throw away that candy at work, but at home, I have been making a mocktail with 1 part fruit…

What’s a small, healthy swap you’ve made recently (like a food, drink, or habit) that’s been easier than you expected?

@TeresaW2024 Thank you ! Yeah, that recipe was good! I love easy stuff, and this one was pretty easy. Oh, dear Joe. I hope the elliptical helps with his strength and that he likes it. Congrats on the loss, Teresa! @DrewsAnna I wish you luck with the appointments . I'm sorry about the depression and stress. Good job with…

@fabgeekmom Thank you ! Oh that recipe sounds good, too. I hope you enjoy it. It's good to have stuff in the freezer for later. I'm going to freeze some of my leftovers as well. Hi all. The headache I had yesterday didn't go away and I felt sick so I went home at 1 pm. When I got home, I took a nap and felt a bit better…

@TeresaW2024 Oh good ! I'm glad the cookies are out of the house now. Thank you! Too bad you woke up so early. I'm sure you have a lot to remember with Joe, I am glad you were able to see him on the monitor and help him back in the chair. I'm sure it is very tiring to handle all of this. @Veta2018 it was really good ! I'm…

@fabgeekmom Thanks . OH no! I'm glad you were able to cancel your plans before you left. I'm sorry you had to, though. Hi all. I haven't been doing well with water lately but yesterday, I drank 72 oz, which was my goal. It really helps me to track the water. I made a yummy dinner last night, it was One-skillet Mexican…

WOO HOO TEAM! Congrats on achieving 1st place for the week! Congrats to @Veta2018 @Cornanda and @baodell17724 for leading the way ! @TeresaW2024 Right ? I am throwing that crap away as soon as I get to work lol. Can you ask your sister to put the cookies in her room? Yeah, Daisy doesn't seem bothered by being toothless…

@fabgeekmom Thank you ! I'm sorry about the insomnia. That must be frustrating. Good job with the bike! Good idea to prep some recipes for the cottage. I have a hard time controlling myself with pizza. It's one of my favorite foods. Hi all. Yesterday was nice: I spent some time earlier in the day prepping some of the food…

@gemwolf110 Congrats on the loss . Did you have fun at the reunion? Thanks for the insightful Sunday post! @laurelfit57 I'm glad you are enjoying your summer with family . I hope the agility competition goes well. Hi all. We didn't end up going to the zoo, my husband didn't feel like it. We went for coffee instead. The oil…

@fabgeekmom The salad was good . Your dinner sounds perfect for dinner. I hope you enjoyed it. @gemwolf110 I'm sorry about what your family said . I think you should reward yourself when you hit that goal by getting all new clothes! You will deserve it. Hi all. We didn't end up going to the zoo, my husband didn't feel like…

@TeresaW2024 I'm glad you get a relief from the stress of watching Joe by having your little nieces over , they are a joy, aren't they? Good luck with the puzzle! Thank you. I've been having trouble snacking, too: at work. I bought a bag of peach gummy candies from the cafe at work. Why did I do that??? I will throw it…

@theslightedgeforever Thank you ! You are absolutely right. I can't wait to get the pug clock. Great job with the gym! And the treadmill at home. That's an excellent idea to get it out of the way before you don't feel like doing it. That's why I go to the gym first thing in the mornings on the weekends. I'm working on…

@TeresaW2024 Yes , thanks. Weekend plans...getting an oil change tomorrow, Sunday is a "Day of Romance" to celebrate our anniversary (I felt the pug cafe wasn't the most romantic way to celebrate our anniversary lol). I am making a special meal, we are watching rom coms, etc. it should be fun. How about you? What will you…

Trooworld Fridays PW: 182.4 lbs CW: 182.0 lbs -0.4 lbs TOTAL: 75 lbs

@fabgeekmom Yes , true. Thank you! Good job with the walk even though it was really hot. I love homemade fries but we hardly ever have them. Good job with dessert. Hi all. I lost 0.4 lbs this week so I'm still headed in the right direction. I've lost a total of 75 lbs now. I had leftovers last night, I didn't feel like…

@Veta2018 Oh how exciting ! That's a big deal, how did he do? @TeresaW2024 Oh gosh , more meetings! Ugh, I'm sorry. I hope you do bail on those. Yeah, the pain is just occasionally so I'm not too worried. Oh that has to be heartbreaking. I'm glad you guys can get some happiness out of the gift the ladies gave you. Hugs.…

@fabgeekmom I don't know if it is out of consideration or out of him trying to slim down /keep from gaining weight lol. Yeah my husband always told me before my surgery when I asked him not to bring trigger foods into the house that I would have to learn to be around them (and he wouldn't agree to bring them in). I hope…

@TeresaW2024 Thank you ! The pug clock was a pre-order and it doesn't ship until the end of August but I can't wait! How often do you have 3 hour Zoom meetings? I would hate that. Especially if it wasn't very productive! Good job with the workout! I hope the nurse gave you some tips to make things easier for you/more…

@fabgeekmom Actually , I do live with someone who is a baker, but since my surgery, he only makes single-serving desserts for himself, and they are usually healthy desserts. But yes, I am lucky that he doesn't make large desserts for the house. He does show his love through food, though. I can see how it would be easier to…

What’s one mindset shift that helped you break through a plateau or get unstuck?

Charlie Bird’s Farro Salad (6 servings) 1 cup farro 1 cup apple cider 2 teaspoons kosher salt more as needed 2 bay leaves 8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 70 grams Parmesan cheese shaved with a vegetable peeler (1/2 cup) 70 grams chopped pistachio nuts (1/2 cup) 2 cups arugula leaves 1…

Congrats to the whole team for achieving 3rd place! A special shout-out goes to @askewcr and @AustinRuadhain for leading the way ! @vegan4lyfe2012 Well done ! Thank you! It's hard when friends give you things, it is hard not to use them! That sounds like a very special purse. The pug cafe was awesome! Thank you! I haven't…

@theslightedgeforever Yes , I'll have to try it, too! I did enjoy Comic Con. I had to use my cane about halfway through the day, mostly out of precaution (but it ended up being needed later). I enjoyed it and got over 22,000 steps in that day. Yes, you missed it, I posted some pics, I think. Maybe I didn't? lol I don't…

@micaroo4 Hey Mica, I saw in the book club that you will be away sometime this month. Do you need me to do the spreadsheet? If so, can you please send me Kat's instructions and tell me when you need me to do it? Here is my email: christylynrogers @ gmail dot com (no spaces in any of that, just trying to avoid the bots).…

@TeresaW2024 LOL no , it wasn't very practical! But I had plenty of other practical purses lol. Thank you. Sleeping by yourself can make for a restful sleep. The idea of sleeping with dogs is nice but the reality sucks! Ask me how I know lol. I hope the meeting went well. @txcritter69 Thank you ! It was fun to play with…

@fabgeekmom Thank you ! I've lost 75 lbs now. It was a lot of fun. I'm sorry you didn't sleep well and had heartburn. That's a good idea to shift your mindset. I am around people that eat stuff like that. I do eat it, but I take a very small sliver of, for instance, cake and really focus on enjoying that sliver. I don't…

@gemwolf110 I have a membership to ATK , here is the recipe: Peach Coffee Cake (8 servings) Peaches 2 peaches, halved, pitted, and cut into ½-inch wedges, or 12 ounces frozen sliced peaches, thawed 2 tablespoons granulated sugar ¼ teaspoon salt Topping ½ cup (2 1/2 ounces/71 grams) all-purpose flour ¼ cup packed (1 3/4…

@TeresaW2024 I'm glad the chair alarm is going to work out . Oh gosh, I bet it hurt to get rid of those Vans. I was wondering if Vans makes wide shoes so I could wear them but I bet not. I feel your pain, one of the purses I got rid of was so cute but ridiculous: it was in the shape of a taco! Tell me when I'm going to use…

@fabgeekmom Thank you ! Yes, they will make someone happy and that's what I kept telling myself lol. Happy birthday to your DH! Sounds like the London trip will give you a needed break from all the indulgences. Yes, we do exercise for more than calories. @theslightedgeforever Thank you ! You are probably right about…
