My favorite Lula Mae photo with mom [img]https://us.v-cdn.net/5021879/uploads/editor/6o/fc0dzmhzwbp0.jpeg[/imgSorry couldn’t pick just one.[/img]

Started the day feeling pretty good. This OJ grapefruit juice was just delicious! Also highly recommended the 32 oz Bubba cup. It’s insulated and keeps my drinks icy for hours when I make suntea. I’m back in bed for another rest break. What a luxury to have the time to heal, cleanse and rest.

@sleepymom5 I never did catch up on all the posts I missed reading. Thoroughly enjoying and appreciating your summaries lol. You always put such warm friendly supportive comments to each team member. You are definitely missed when your not around. Yesterday turned into another slow rest day. Molly wanted to watch an old…

Fridge is packed with organic greens, berries and veggies. Counter top overflowing with bright citrus and organic apples. Just squeezed 32 oz of OJ. Day 1 of EMR cleanse. My last 4 days of detox cleanse were productive. I feel like the next 3 days will do some serious nurturing to my cells.

@GingerPwr Casey I’m so sorry to hear about your challenging struggles. Keep breathing and take it one day at a time. @sleepymom5 Pam you always make me smile. I’ve missed you. @xX_PhoenixRising_Xx cute kitties @1theresamcvean I love your Wendy Pippa story ❤️

Have a good weekend everyone! I spent the last 2 days really resting. (Not an Angelina resting lol). I’m off for another week. My days are mixed but I’m feeling very optimistic. Using the time to do a detox cleanse. Feels harsher than usual. I suspect steroids and narcotics helped but also took their toll on my body. I’m…

@podperson1 great job this week! We see the same thing here with people not taking proper precautions. But we too do what we can. Good luck with your stress relief. What’s on your enjoy list? We have recently been playing Mexican train dominoes. So much family fun! Also wanted to note that I am faithfully drinking at least…

@1theresamcvean thanks for the advice. You busted me on my rest day lol. I dusted, cleaned the bathroom, scrubbed and shined the kitchen sink and cleaned 2 kitchen cupboards. But I was very cautious. I’m going to do the leg elevation today. Great idea. I love your doll story. Do you have a picture? I will post mine soon. I…

Want to do a morning check in. Vacation was difficult. Spent most of it on pain pills and sleeping. Had to take this week off as well. The good news is this morning I’m actually feeling better. More achy than in actual pain. Yesterday was rough but I know to transition and not overdo it. I start PT next week. Meanwhile I…

We still have another hour of packing then on our way to lake. Back is hurting but I’m almost done. Will take a pill then relax rest of week. Thanks for all the kind words. @gingerpwr you know I love tasty Tuesday but every day is a food celebration in my world. Really looking forward to getting my healthy body back.

Can I please move to cheer squad for August? Loved my new spine doctor. Put me on steroids, narcotics and PT. He promised to get me back to running. Encouraged

Quick update. I’m stuck in bed on pain killers. We’re hoping to leave Tuesday instead of today for vacation if I can make some progress. Seeing a back specialist tomorrow. Happy August everyone!

On my way to ER. Back completely out 😞

Mrsbell8well Wednesday PW 153.4 CW 153.4 I will need a pass on next weeks weigh in. Going on vacation with no wifi.

What a lot of LOSERS you all are!!! It brings me great joy to see so many of our members hitting their goals, members losing and others hanging in there. In 2 years that I have been posting this is the most success that I have seen. Congratulations everyone!!! <3

@1theresamcvean oh your story is so sad but funny too. I felt for you lol. What a fascinating blouse! @Cafelelia such challenging times. I don't think there will be anything normal again. I wonder what our children's future looks like. They are so different and so much smarter than us in interesting ways. I think it will…

@1theresamcvean I have her first book. I will check out the new one. Just ordered Cookie and Kate’s cookbook. She sends me emails. Just received 29 best summer salads. I want to make them all!!! @Cafelelia thanks for spoiler tip. I will use it for future food pics. My goal was 153. I can live with this weight since I lost…

@1theresamcvean I understand about the triggers. I can easily get carried away. I think there is a way to post optional viewing for those that would prefer not to peek. I will play with it. Or if anyone knows the answer?

About a year ago I confessed to the team that I am not one for friends. I just don't really have any. Well that was then and this is now. Every day I jump on to this site to see what you all are doing. I am in awe of the wealth of friendships I now have. I feel very fortunate. You all have been there for me every day…

@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx Oh My Gosh!!! That piggy cake is just too delightful! @gingerpwr what do you mean you didn't gain weight on your vacation!!! Wow! So impressive. I am so inspired with how well your doing. And I love your July game plan. We're always looking for progress vs perfection right? @Cafelelia Happy…

I already had the yarn. Here’s the new supplies

Inspiration doll [img]https://us.v-cdn.net/5021879/uploads/editor/sb/3658uqtye0od.jpeg[/Fairy supplies[/img] Today’s lunch panzannela

I saw a picture on FB that really inspired me of a Waldorf doll. It reminded me of all the dolls and fun projects I did for Skylynn when she was little. It got my crafting fever stirred up. While I was laying in the pool I had an idea of crocheting seasonal fairy dolls. I went out today to by wing material for my summer…

Buttermilk pancakes with plum jam and delicious coffee. I used 1 of the small fancy coffee cups and decided to allow myself 1 cup on Sunday mornings. I have enough cups for a fairy tea party when you all come to visit!

Had an excellent day! My energy is slowly coming back. Made snickerdoodle cloud cookies, cleaned the fridge and the freezer, cleaned the kitchen and straightened up the rest of the house, sent my Saturday text message to all my kids, made peach oatmeal for breakfast, green beans, red potatoes, garden tomatoes and cucumber…

Vegan Eggplant parmigiana with salad for dinner. Had a perfect eating day. Been on track all week! Congratulations to so many of you doing so well!!!

BTW...I discovered a cool corn trick. I cut off the ends of my corn cob on both sides. Do not remove the husks or the silks. Throw it in the microwave for 3 minutes. Be careful it is hot when you take it out. Supposedly the husk slips right off but I just peel it off. I have been making this at the office and enjoying…

@melaniedscott yes I will! come on over! My wife and I met on line. Part of my profile was to stress that I was looking for someone that liked to eat my cooking. Molly jumped right in and said she would bring the wine and do the dishes lol. It is a match made in heaven. I love to cook for people that love to eat. Skipped…
