@fabgeekmom tofu kebabs sounds interesting . I will sometimes throw tofu in soups or pasta….I love onion rings. Sounds like a great dinner. It’s cooler here, too. @trooworld the plant is really nice . I always worry about killing them, too. Right now I just have one, and one stem I’m trying to propagate in some water. And…

@trooworld I ’m glad your test results came back okay, and glad the car is ready! I’m sure it’s nice to be able to relax after both those things. ….The vegetarian peanut soup sounds good, I love that kind of soup…… Books- well I read a lot of mystery/suspense kind of books. I’ve read a couple by an Icelandic author that…

@fabgeekmom yeah there are a lot of different street festivals here all summer . Moreso in June and July….I’m sorry to hear about the insomnia, that’s the worst. I’ve had problems with insomnia all my life, although more when I was younger. @trooworld glad you had a good time at comic -con! What a cool shirt. I’ve just…

@trooworld that ’s a shame about your car. And yes, bodywork is expensive. I hit a car in a parking lot once- I did leave a note! And I paid for the damage, which was just bodywork but yeah it was expensive. It was actually the very first day I drove a new car home, my first time in that underground garage in that car, and…

@trooworld - sorry to hear you have to get checked further. Hopefully it’s nothing…..they have comic com every year here too, although I’ve never gone. But I will sometimes see people going all decked out in costumes, it looks fun. @the slightedgeforever I ’ve been thinking of how to change my routine since you posted. I…

Actually my weight today was a new low! By about .5 lbs. Kind of nice. My weight fluctuates a lot, so I track it but mostly watch the highs and lows. New low for me.

@trooworld I hope the appointment goes well . At least it’s quick, and you don’t have to wait a couple weeks for it. I’m almost 49, never had a mammogram, I actually just got the notice I can start to book them if I want. I thought I would wait until after I was 50. I’m just sick of appts. I hope the issue is resolved with…

@trooworld my hip – ah it’s ok if I don’t walk too much. I’m back to physiotherapy off and on and he does something like acupuncture that helps it. It’s called dry needling. It’s amazing how well it works actually for reducing pain. But I still have to be mindful of activity. What a pain about the fridge! At least you…

I'm having a tough time staying motivated, but so far I am managing ok.

@trooworld glad the knee is coming along . Sounds like a nice day Friday- I say go for it. ….I can’t really nap, I wish I could. Occasionally I see people sleeping in the office in the lounge area, like at lunch. I have no idea how people can do that. Well, actually it’s always the same guy lol. @theslightedgeforever if I…

Yesterday I tracked calories, but I had a couple drinks and was over. On the bright side, I stuck to the snacks I had preplanned to try to limit the damage lol.

@fabgeekmom yeah lots of geese here , too. Too many actually- once in a while they try to relocate some. Dinner sounds great! I like blue cheese but never eat it. @trooworld , I think your hair looks nice! And yeah, sometimes it takes a while to play with/get used to. Maybe it needs a week or two. I will say short hair can…

@trooworld yeah that would drive me bananas with the seals. @gemwolf110 are you finishing school? That's great. Here's a couple more pics. These are red necked grebes. I see them nest every year but this is the first year a) the babies survived and b) I managed to get pictures. The grebes are great birds, they're super fun…

@trooworld glad your knee is feeling better . Good luck with the haircut! I’m never too adventurous, lol. I always get the same kind of thing. The concert sounds fun. I don’t know who was talking about quinoa, but I don’t like it either lol. @theslightedgeforever I would love to go to Alaska . A colleague of mine went and…

Hi all, I've kind of been on vacation mode, so only half meeting my goals I would say lol. Trying to get back in the habit now of tracking and checking in, etc. The weather has been nice here but hot. I've got some great pics of different critters around the lake. There are beavers sometimes, as below. In the evening I was…

Happy birthday @fabgeekmom ! @trooworld glad the knee is improving.

Well in terms of my non tracking June goals: **Eat out only 4 days a month- 6 times, so a little bit over, but will try again this month. And it really did make a difference with my weight I think. **If I have a drink try to bring cals down to 2350 cals max. Plan 2 snacks. 2/3 times met. This is a big goal for me, bc I…

@theslightedgeforever – good for you for asking that woman what she was doing. That’s irritating. Congratulations on the upcoming wedding. I love buying gym outfits. Workout clothes are pretty much the only clothes I like, and sweat pants etc. @fabgeekmom thanks for the support with the takeout ! I always end up with…

@trooworld hope you have a nice Saturday and the gym holds up . I hate that at the gym when it’s busy and you have to change the routine. It happens here at the condo gym too. …I’m glad the soup was good. I started eating buckwheat this year, instead of rice in meals. I like it. @fabgeekmom I ’m having steaks tonight! Love…

@trooworld that ’s a scary experience with the dog. There are tons of dogs around here, and there always seems to be lots of issues. I guess with careless owners that let their dog off leash when they shouldn’t and so on. @fabgeekmom it has been crazy hot here too . The humidity and heat was causing a pool of water in my…

@deepwoodslady I'm sorry you went through that. And what an awful, insensitive way to be told. It should've been identified long before you were at that stage of surgery prep. But it's amazing you've carried on and worked hard to change things for yourself. My update- I've been doing really well not eating takeout and it's…

@trooworld sounds like an interesting drink . Nice of that woman to help. Push ups are the hardest thing lol. I used to try to do them a lot but it’s one thing I’ll never be good at. I always wanted to do pullups but that’s hard too. My trainer used to help me so I could do partial ones. @fabgeekmom salmon and salad sounds…

@fabgeekmom there is Diclofenac here , but not sure if it’s cream or pill. I did read it was effective. But either way I’m going to stick with PT and other stuff for now. ….hard to do much outdoors when it’s that hot for sure. Having the recumbent bike available as an option is great. @trooworld The hip injections - I’m…

Yesterday was my weekly weigh in day and it was lower than it's been in probably several years! Not by a lot, but I'll take it. I think not eating so much take out has helped, although I do find it challenging. It's almost like an addiction. Daily calories- yesterday Goal- 1600 Actual 1427 Weight June 11 160.8 June 16…

@trooworld – sucks about the wrap. I hate ordering out and then not enjoying it. Also great going to the gym alone. I know it can be hard sometimes, even for me sometimes at my condo I struggle with it. @fabgeekmom enjoy the swim . I tracked calories yesterday. My weight today was down a tiny bit so that was nice.
