@FushiaKat - Good for you! I look forward to hearing HJM has accepted responsibility for the bad product. @DrewsAnna - What gorgeous pictures! Everything looks shockingly green and lush to this central Texan. @vegan4lyfe2012 - How are you doing this week? Any plans? @TeresaW2024 - How great that you know that afternoon…

AustinRuadhain Checkin SW 265.2 PW 225.6 CW 225.4 Welp, it's in the green.

MY INTRODUCTION Hi all! Austin here. I live in Austin, Texas, with my husband, Eric, plus a small menagerie (indoor cats Piku and Habibi; Beaver, a huge comet/goldfish; Fujin, a green cheek conure; and 5 backyard chickens including Blacnca, the beauty, Elizabeth the bossy and Amelia, my flyer). My hobbies include math,…

@micaroo4 - Kathy sounds like a wonderful person. Hugs. @askewcr - Hang in there. Do you need to adjust your plan for this week? @TeresaW2024 - Hurray for getting the plumbing work done. It's nice to get things like that checked off the to-do list, and non-wobbly toilets sound like a life improvement! I am so glad you had…

Good morning! The walk yesterday was a good one. I had a good food day yesterday, and just loaded up the Daily Dozen app on my new phone. I am off for a walk again this morning. I need to get one in before the rain returns!

@Katmary71 - I am so sorry about the person cutting down your sunflowers. That is awful. The foster kittens sound like they will be super fun and so worth it! I hereby add my name to the list of people begging for kitten pictures! Kitten and cat pictures always make life better. ;-) Hmm. Maybe I need to take a set of…

@lislisa123 - Hurray for looking at dogs. Great job checking in. Hopefully this will be a better week!

@TeresaW2024 - I am glad to hear you guys had a good night. Joe's lucky to have such a great partner. @FushiaKat - How maddening about the defective trike. I hope the search for a good replacement goes well. @trooworld - Yum. Blistered tomatoes and spinach dounds delicious! @jessicakrall - Oooh, a review of Atomic Habits.…

Plans for the day: 🟢 Fast until until 10 AM 🔘 Track food on MFP 🔘 Salad meal 🔘 Meal planning 🔘 Grocery shopping 🟢 Walk 30 min 🔘 Classical Stretch session 🔘 Housecleaning (2 x 20 min) 🔘 Yard work (20 min) 🔘 Office work (2 x 20 min)

DISCUSSION QUESTION: What type of movement or exercise brings you joy, and how did you discover it? Lifting heavy things. I discovered this in 6th grade, when I loved my bedroom furniture down from an attic by myself. I am remninded that I need to build in more ways to lift! Also walking, which I discovered in high school…

AustinRuadhain Checkin SW 265.2 PW 225.8 CW 225.6 Yes, I am down just 0.2. Sorry. I plan to do better the rest oif this month. Tomorrow is classroom moveout day, and after that the schedule will start allowing for more work on health. I am excited at the idea of turning things up a notch! Woohoo!

SW 265.2 PW 227.0 CW 225.8 I am almost done being sick, and I finish teaching for the semester on Thursday. I am so ready for summer! Except for the heat. It's about to get extra hot here. Scary hot. I am going to have to figure out how to help my backyard chickens get through this week. Phew!

Weigh-In Apr 28, 2025 SW 265.2 PW 227.2 CW 227.0 Sorry to keep you waiting @Katmary71! I am sick today and just realized I had not actually checked in. Hopefully ilness will help jumop start more mi9ovemenbt, We'll see!

@vegan4lyfe2012 I am glad your son found his tribe! :-) "That is quite the age range! Hopefully the more seasoned boys help out the younger ones. Herding the adults is probably more time-consuming that the kids hahahaha What an awesome mentoring program. My son started with the Webelos, but the troop only had 3 other boys…

@vegan4lyfe2012 - Hi there! I realized I lost track of your question about Scouts. I work with a Boy Troop in Scouting America (formerly Scouts BSA aka Boy Scouts). Scout troops have youth from late 5th grade through 12th grade (age 18), with new kids joining each year. Our troop currently leans young, so more in the 11-15…

@Katmary71 - I love the reset idea! My first thought is next Monday, but if you want to go for the first, I will squeeze this in faster. I am super excited! *** I just watched the first bit of the video. Still excited but I can't spend the time on it tonight. I have put it in my calendar for Wednesday, so if we get started…

Hi there! I am poking along this month, not setting the world on fire, but making sure things are headed in a better direction. Down from last week, so calling the week a win! Weigh-In Apr 28, 2025 SW 265.2 PW 228.0 CW 227.2

If I can just get through today and tomorrow without eating my weight in sugar…! I do still have too many projects going and am trying to close things off successfully and do some taking care of me stuff. This weekend I was the owner for a Scouts campout. I had a stack of other adults along, but I was in charge of making…

@trooworld : Great question! At the top of the list for me is Be Conscious of My Intake. That means food tracking. So, yes, I need to make sure to track today, because this is going to be a long day!

Hello, Slimsters! This has not been the best week. Not disastrous but not in the green. I am out to make up for it this week. On the plus side — I got in over 13K steps today, including a 45-minute stairstep session! Weigh-In Apr 7, 2025 SW 265.2 PW 229.8 CW 230.2 Looking back on my week, I think both food and movement…

Austin here. Good evening! @DrewsAnna - Thank you! I so get the yoyo problem. I am right there.

Hang in there! @bobboyardee - An ADHD coach! You made me giggle!…

Hello, Austin here. For those who don’t know me, I live in Texas with my husband. I have one son, now in college. I will brag about him at the drop of a hat, so be careful what you ask.
