Do you have meals you can make without a ton of effort? I have been working to have salads be one of these meals. I make them for my husband and myself, and have gotten it to where I can make a pair of tasty, filling salads in about 15 minutes. This morning's pair of salads took about 15 minutes. Figuring out that I could…

Weigh-in Day Monday PW: 163.8 CW: 167.4 🔴

Weigh-in Day Monday PW: 165.0 CW: 163.8 🟢 I am hoping this week continues the trend of improving. I was UP at my midweek check-in, and I eased back into good logging. It's been helping me make more conscious food decisions and better-for-me food decisions. I have a super packed morning, and am going to come back and catch…

Weigh-in Day Monday PW: 165.6 CW: 165.0 🟢 Yay for being in the green! That's my goal for next Monday — in the green. As a start, I just (since I started typing this) got a friend to agree to a quick morning walk, Now I have to get dressed and caffeinated fast!!

@micaroo4 — I apologize for being out of communication! I did weigh myself in on Monday but failed to check in here. Weigh-in Day Monday (but posting late) PW: 163.4 CW: 165.6 Sorry, team! I did start getting myself back on track foodwise. Today I am all about tracking and getting in my planned exercise. Hopefully, I can…

Monday Weigh-In - AustinRuadhain SW 265.2 PW 162.8 CW 163.2 Up a smidge for the week. Ah, well. Back at it this week. That big family birthday didn't help, and then I got in less exercise than usual because I have been prioritizing a stressful project rather than my health this last week. Time for a reset! Today —…

Happy Sunday, all! @bobboyardee — Congratulations on being on the leaderboard! @txcritter69 — Congratulations on being on the leaderboard! @DrewsAnna — YAY for that food logging, and for getting in your water and protein! Sorry about the Seahawks loss, but as you say, it's preseason, so they are really testing out players…

Hey, @DrewsAnna , it is quiet this week. Let's keep chatting and hope things pick up! I hope those goals are going well. Did you eat a fruit or veggie today? 😁 And yes, I am glad to know a fellow ABBA lover. @micaroo4 — I hope Rich is continuing to do as well as he can. The wait for the imaging sounds stressful for you…

@TeresaW2024 — Hmm, I wasn't going to, but I have to ask. Are you calling ChatGPT Number One as in Star Trek: The Next Generation? I am amused either way, but I am now wondering if I get to imagine you channeling Captain Jean-Luc Picard referring to your First Officer, and I may be waaay off base. (Maybe just one of us saw…

@micaroo4 - Oh, my, I hope the prescription helps and that Rich is better soon! @DrewsAnna — You are learning to use your sewing machine? I salute you, lady! I tried taking a sewing class years ago and was mighty discouraged. I needed help figuring out how to set my old machine up (how to thread it), and the instructor…

Wow! Go, team! I am so impressed with this group being over 80% in the green last week! So amazing! @19shmoo69 — Hurray for being on the leaderboard! @sleepygirl79 - Congratulations for being on the leaderboard for last week!

@txcritter69 - I love your comment about your weigh-in! Yep, exercise and food choices! There is no escape! It's just whether we laugh and get to work, or not. Tigger and Diesel are super cute! It's great that you quit smoking. I came across a doctor who was talking about the fact that quitting makes a huge difference,…

Introduction Austin here. I am married. I have one son, currently in college. I teach math and science to homeschool kids. My sweet husband and I have a small menagerie, mostly of rescue animals: Beaver (a comet/goldfish, named by my son back in middle school; fish live a long time!); Fujin (a hand-raised green cheek…

Oh, my, time for a new monthly thread already! I will go work on an intro in a minute. @19shmoo69 — Great weigh-in! Congrats! @Cornanda - You are so smart to have Gus practice being at the sitter. He is such a cutie! I am so sorry about your travails with that tooth. It does sound like you have a good shot at the root…

@biketheworld - You are so right. The fence makes it even siller! Such commitment to the goofiness! 😁

@biketheworld - I have been thinking of a post of yours when riding past a house where someone carved a dead tree to make sculpture. This elephant is not as goofy as the dancing goat you found, but still fun!

@RMUNTZ2 - Your posts have me want to visit Michigan someday! I looked up the Sleeping Bear Trail Ride, and think you may have been on this gorgeous trail: https://unearththevoyage.com/22-mile-trail-near-sleeping-bear-dunes-lake-michigan-views-no-crowds/

Keep going at it this week! Soon your weight number will hit the teens! @davors19 - Congratulations on being on the leader board!…

Happy Monday, all! I rode long (for me) on Saturday — 46 miles — and then had a lovely 17 mile ride on a new-to-me trail on Sunday morning. It's a good thing I deal well with heat and humidity, as it was moderately steamy this weekend (93F, roughly 55% humidity), after a week in which it rained an inconvenient amount. I am…

Thanks, Nancy! I love a classic read. I just voted. Slimpossibles, anyone else interested?
