Yay me! I got out of bed for the first time in several days and I still feel good! I took the oxygen off for two hours and puttered around, took a shower, washed my hair, and feel great! Woooo! This is more exercise than I've had in a while and it feels good. @jessiquoi - good for you! Get those proteins and veggies!…

Well. I did not over eat yesterday, but I woke up ravenous hungry today. Sigh.

@jessiquoi - it's now May! Has it been okay there? Are you okay?

@nickiphillips1 - it's amazing how you keep going! Good for you! Wooooo! I have a new idea... There's got to be a way to change dieting from a mindset of constant restrictions to one of staying on task because there is so much of something you want and already have. Yo-yo dieting is caused by your body and subconscious…

@rdevol - 1300 women outdoors? AWESOME! And all of you enjoying fellowship in God's love. That sounds great. Happy Birthday @happysherri, Happy Birthday to you! @str8bowbabe - be sure to go visit that baby if at all possible. Your attention can make a world of difference in one little life. Have a great weekend. Be sure to…

@KimF0715 - it is said that a little wine-ing about your diet is good for you! @sabinki - 1x capris! Sounds wonderful. @jessiquoi - ((hugs)). Blame it on the weather. Speaking of weather, I need my outdoors time! So I went out on the rain and pulled weeds from the sloshy yard. Ha!

Happy Thursday to all! I've forgiven myself for overeating for 4 days. It happened because I had been ill and my appetite was poor. Once my appetite returned, I ate as if I was starving. I'm back up to 222. I still count it all a victory. Before starting this plan, I gained on average 0.5 pounds a month. Being back up at…

DETOX TIME!!! I really need you all. My calorie intake is soaring out of sight. My appetite is following behind closely, tongue wagging, joyfully snatching up everything that looks like chocolate, and shoving into my mouth. What do I do first? :s Oauujjjuuhgdsd Love to all. Lea

Good morning all! While food monitoring is going well, food intake is up. Outdoors time has increased as well. O2 has been increased. Activity feels so darned good! A bit of appetite is to be expected. Love 2 all! Have a great day. Lea

:) @jahnsmary44 welcome!

@jessiquoi - congratulations on the two pounds! I will catch up! Love you!

@wellthenwhat - oh my!!! That is some change! However, you *do* look good in short hair! Awesome. I may be on more often. The lung doctor said to turn the oxygen up, and stay on it as long as I need, especially if I'm not getting out of bed. So, turn the O2 up and get active! Yay! I'm doing it. Thank you to @happysherri .…

It's midnight. Wow, I could stay awake for a long time with just a little stress! Zing!

I have discovered my over-eating style. I'm a stress eater! Now, I go to work on that! Worse than that, my appetite is down today. Food tastes soapy. I got stressed and had some soapy tasting food. Yuck. I'll have to write a note to the lung doctor over the internet. His nurse has not called back. I'm much better at…

Today was like an exercise routine. I didn't want to apply for insurance. I did it anyway. I got a reasonable plan. I danced because it felt so good to have it done. Then I took a 2 mile walk because that was way too much sitting in front of the computer :) I called the lung doctor's office but I have not heard back. The…

Wow! I love everyone's reports. You are all doing so well! I will have to find insurance and get an appointment with the lung doc soon. Medicaid cancelled me, which was expected. I have one week to find insurance and I am super sick this week. Grumbling. I don't want to see the lung doc because he will see that my weight…

Good looking recipes, @ParanormaLauren

@fibonacci227 - lettuce has so little flavor (for my taste) that I'm on the search for more interesting salads! Have you ever tried cutting up about 6 strawberries on a salad? It makes the salad so pretty and good. My homemade dressing is NOT low fat, but has good fats. My other go to is about 6 wild violet blooms. They…

Today, I behaved myself. Yeah, it was that boring. Chickweed @fitzmonkey13 is much less bitter than dandelion. That's why I cannot believe the number of people who buy it in capsules and take it like a pill! Oh. Oh. Oh. Today, I boiled split peas and flavored them with salt, cumin, and then added tilapia. Dang, it was…

@str8bowbabe - strength training must be wonderful. I know how a day of lugging around and controlling heavy lawn equipment makes me feel invincible. Is it similar? Or better?

I made the best supper... Tilapia (fish) and carrots for one. Three tablespoons coconut oil into a skillet, one frozen tilapia filet into the skillet, and set the burner on low. Sprinkle in 3 tablespoons spelt flour, and some salt and some dill weed. While that is warming up, slice up 2 large carrots and add them to the…

Ha! I just used a weed eater on my weed lot yard for 2 hours! I feel dirty, sweaty, and indestructible! Ha! 700 calories burned! @CT0526 - you CAN stay on track. It CAN be done. I've done it for two days in a row now. I'll stand up and do a cheer for you. @nickiphillips1 - I was thinking while I read what you said about…

Awwwww. I loved your story @ParanormaLauren !

I put everything in one bowl: tops of chickweed, sweet and tangy dressing, parmesan, and walnuts. Yum! I took serrapeptase for the first time today. Hopefully, it will become a daily benefit. Love to all. Lea

I am craving a salad. So, I picked the last of the chickweed. I'll take it in and clean and pour some homemade dressing over it. Yum!

I'm jealous. I felt miserable so I stayed in bed and made plans to do it all tomorrow. Soooooo, I will do a selfie being healthy tomorrow, so I can keep up with Sherri !!! Woohoo! Love to all! You are all doing so well. Lea

From Joshua Becker, a minimalist view of getting healthy.... How then, specifically, might we care for our bodies to keep them both healthy and effective? Consider these 7 intentional steps: 1. Fuel properly. Make half your plate fruits and vegetables. Their contribution to healthy eating cannot be overstated. The goal in…

@jessiquoi - hugs, hugs, hugs. You are worth it! <3

@fitzmonkey13 - I'm snickering. I think I actually have some of those googly eyes in my craft cabinet! @CT0526 - What a blessing that you got a quiet weekend when you needed it. I'll keep you and your family in prayer for a couple more days. @nickiphillips1 - pity parties happen. I had one today. (God bless Jess, I…
