@its _cleo Thank you, I did! I hate that, too. Ugh. I like buckwheat: it has a nice texture and is healthy. I'm sure you did better in June than you did in May with take-out, right? And you'll do better in July. I'm glad you tried the mobility class even if you decide it wasn't for you. The farmer's market sounds fun. Do…

@micaroo4 I love it ! @AustinRuadhain Thanks , it is! I hope things do shift. I've been losing since Jan 10th, so to stop losing was a bummer! I hope the creatine is working, too. Yeah, @Cornanda had a good point : maybe she was disappointed I didn't tell her sooner. Oh well! The soup was really good, I highly recommend…

@fabgeekmom It was really good . The soup was really good, I highly recommend it. No, it's basically maintaining...it just makes me disappointed because I've lost every week since Jan 10. Good job with the swim! Humidity makes all the difference. We don't have to deal with too much humidity here (thankfully). I'm glad you…

@vegan4lyfe2012 Ah good reasons to give up added oils ! LOL she is violent! She lives up to that Garbage Pail Kid card I made, right? It did make my friend very happy to see me in the blazer. Yeah, but then I thought, maybe it will help someone if I tell people I had the surgery. Why am I hiding it? Although, I don't tell…

@askewcr Hang in there ! Next week will be better. @TeresaW2024 I'm going to post the recipe for the soup (it's behind a paywall). I know @vegan4lyfe2012 would probably be interested ! We do have to keep plugging along! Next week will be better. Hahaha I made a brooch of that pic of Violet using this ornate mini frame,…

@TeresaW2024 Ah I see . I tihnk you are right about weight loss surgery. I am doing the work! That's great you are making money to play a game. Good luck! 60 years old is a milestone birthday and you are right about the time. I like this change in attitude. Go get it! @laurelfit57 Oh she's full of fear , but is also brave…

@fabgeekmom Yes ! Thank you for your support. Good job with the bike! Happy Birthday! Hi all. Yay it's Friday! I'm so glad. Yesterday was a work day and traffic was kind of bad so I didn't get to work out when I got home. My husband made us dinner: he made buckwheat (groats), packaged carnitas, avocado, and seasoned pinto…

@TeresaW2024 You'll get there . You have some good habits built up. Thank you! 97F, no thank you! I don't blame you for staying in. Why do you think your sister didn't tell you about the drama? Do you think she thought you had enough going on right now? @DrewsAnna Congrats on the loss ! @Cornanda Wow , that's cool! I don't…

@fabgeekmom Yes , it's really irritating. The head of the HOA is going to send a letter to them saying that if they do it again, they will be fined. This whole week has went by pretty fast. I'm glad dinner was good. I hope you enjoyed the swim. Hi all. Nothing much is going on. I did decide at work, if someone asks me…

@TeresaW2024 It was really scary . Thank you, I did need a day off! That's too bad about the weather, I hope it gets better. Good idea to group errands together! "I've only lost 17 lbs", girl, you could have gained 20, so be glad with all you have going on that you actually lost. You are doing well. I know it's not as fast…

@fabgeekmom Yeah maybe , she is afraid of everything so she may have thought she was protecting me or she may have been scared. Oh wow, that's hot! Good job with the bike. I'm glad your blood levels were good. That paella sounds good. @its _cleo Yes! Ugh, it was awful. We have that problem with off-leash dogs, too. In our…

Do you track your progress in any way besides the scale? How does it help you stay motivated?

@AustinRuadhain Good job ! @vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you , friend! Oh I was so upset about spilling those sauces and then the bowl. I was like, what the heck is going on here? LOL The Qezwan was interesting and I would get it again. What was wrong with the flavored olive and avocado oils? I missed that you gave them up. Good…

@fabgeekmom Thank you ! Yeah I couldn't believe I dropped all that food lol. I bet it did feel nice to swim in the pool. Too bad about your dill. I hope the pizza was good. Hi all. Traffic was light on the way home but I didn't end up doing a work out, I took it as a rest day. Couple of reasons for that: I went hard at…

I just finished The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong. Really good story about finding a chosen family and developing a bond with someone that has dementia. I highly recommend it. Character-driven story. I also started Precious: The History and Mystery of Gems Across Time by Helen Molesworth. It the history of gemstones…

@sleepygirl79 Way to go , achieving 1st place!!! And team, congrats on achieving 2nd/3rd place for the week! Another shout-out goes to @bobboyardee and @Cornanda for making it onto the leaderboard . Woo hoo! @txcritter69 How's Diesel doing ? Good job with the kids menu and leaving food on the plate. @Cornanda Thank you !…

@its _cleo It was very interesting. Yes, I hope I see her in the gym again. Push-ups are hard! I'm going to do them one day. 💪 I use the pull-up assist machine at the gym to do pull-ups. I can't imagine I'll ever be strong enough to do them on my own. That's good you are still going to yoga despite the heat. I love…

@laurelfit57 It is (for now, I don't know if it will always be easy. It's the threat of getting sick that keeps me in line lol). I did have a great workout! Hey, I don't care if it was just stretching...to be at the gym for what? 2 hours? is mentally challenging alone, aside from the physical. It shows real commitment to…

@fabgeekmom Thank you ! I hope you enjoyed the swim and dinner, it sounds really good. Hi all. Yesterday was a really fun day. The gym wasn't too busy, which was nice. I was upstairs in the stretching and ab area of the gym while this lady that was about my age was doing some stuff. She saw me doing wall push-ups and after…

Some NSVs to report: Below is a portion of my minutes of movement chart on our Step Tracker spreadsheet. My goal is to have at least 20 active minutes per day, if I don't get it, the cell turns RED. Since I started keeping track, I've gone from minutes of activity in the 100s to now in the 400s. Tomorrow, it will be 3…

@laurelfit57 Thank you ! It is awesome I can eat almost everything but also a curse: I can eat the things I probably shouldn't, like I can have a small amount of CHIPS (I rarely do, though), I had a sliver of CAKE for Mother's Day, etc. Ty is doing great! (Vannie, too, I'm sure!). Yep, Southern Cali, San Diego! :) Well,…

@fabgeekmom Thank you ! And thanks, I haven't always been good with exercise, but I'm trying. I think yesterday was just like any other day for him lol, he didn't want to do anything. Good job walking! Sorry about the heat. Hi all. We did end up going to the gym last night. I did a 45-minute upper body weights routine…

@Cornanda Congrats on your 19 lbs down!!!

@TeresaW2024 I do love Panda Express ! The grocery bill has gone down but not as much as you might think: it went from about $300 a week to around $150-200 a week. That may sound like a lot, but groceries are expensive here in CA! I hope Joe does okay at the oncologist and he gets what he needs. Don't feel bad about not…

@baodell17724 Okay , just wanted to make sure before I posted this. Congrats on your 80 lbs down! WOO HOO!

@its _cleo Ah I see. My orthopedic doctor told me that about the cortisone injections I am getting with my knee, that they are less effective over time. I'm glad you can bike. Thank you! I have to take an iron supplement because I had weight loss surgery and my body doesn't process nutrients the way someone who hasn't had…

@TeresaW2024 I wish I could send you a little bit of our weather . Muggy is not fun! I'm glad Joe had a better day. That's funny about the commercial. Good luck with the prep! @DrewsAnna @lislisa123 Congrats on the losses ! @laurelfit57 Yes , I am still learning where machines are so it can be anxiety-provoking. Thank you!…

@fabgeekmom I think so , too. I do hope I feel less sleepy soon. It could also be because my iron was low on my blood test, so they had me double my iron supplement. So, hopefully, that will help. Yes, the weather is really nice! 90s is too hot lol. Good job with the bike! Hi all. It took too long to get home due to…
