@its_cleo I’m glad to see you are back. Good idea to freeze the pie and divide portions of the meal service. The yoga sounds like fun. Don’t worry about not being able to do the poses. That’s why you’re taking the class.

@trooworld That’s too bad about the migraine. I hope you are able to enjoy the museum. Hi, all. I’m going swimming today. The scallops were good last night. I have some leftover for lunch today. I’m making beef stew in the instant pot tonight for family dinner. I’m using a recipe in my Milk Street cookbook.

@trooworld Great job on the weight loss!That’s good that traffic was light. Good idea to go to Sam’s tonight. Yes, we have a membership to the gardens. Hi, all. It has gotten hot here, finally! I’m not sure what I’m doing for exercise today. I might go to the pool or go for a walk. DH can’t go to the pool as he can’t get…

@trooworld I forgot to reply yesterday. DH is much better. Surgery was outpatient. He went grocery shopping with me and went for a walk. He can do light exercise but can’t do gardening, swimming or woodworking. The salad with shrimp sounds good. Hi, all. Today we are going to the Botanical Gardens for the first time of the…

@trooworld We got our rain last night when we went to bed. I heard some thunder but it wasn’t much. We always worry about a storm at night. Hi, all. Today DH is having cataract surgery. DD is taking us to the surgery center. DS is cooking dinner. He’s making an America Test Kitchen buttermilk chicken recipe. I’m going to…

@trooworld That sounded like a cool video of the bobcat. I don’t do pick up anymore but when I did it was frustrating when I didn’t get what I ordered. I like tracking on MFP. Hi, all. It’s warm again today and I went for a walk this morning. Now I’m sitting on the front porch under an umbrella. Tonight we are eating…

@cbabie Definitely get rid of sugary foods! How’s your husband doing with his smoking cessation? @trooworld That sounded like a fun trip. Too bad about the pie. @rosied1226 I’m glad the book is working for you. Hi, all. Last night’s dinner was good. I only ate half of my lasagna to save room for dessert. I only ate a small…

@trooworld That’s too bad about the plumbing. There’s always something! That trip sounds like fun. I hope you enjoyed your pie. Hi, all. We went swimming today. We don’t usually go on Saturday but we missed Wednesday due to a doctor’s appointment. Plus I wanted a calorie deficit since we’re eating a big meal. DS is making…

@trooworld I’m sorry your MIL is in the hospital. I hope she recovers soon. Hi, all. It’s warmer today so I went for a walk. I’m sitting outside but it’s getting hot so I may go inside. Today is DH and my 50th wedding anniversary. We’re not doing anything special today but tomorrow DS is making a special meal for us and my…

@trooworld The salad recipe looks good. It’s good to have a day with not much going on. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. I’m making turkey burgers for dinner. I’m adding Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to the ground turkey. DS will grill them. We also will have coleslaw and air fried frozen sweet potato…

@trooworld Wow, you really had a stressful day! Traffic and plumbing woes. Hopefully you got it fixed. I don’t blame you for not doing yoga at 7 PM. I try not to let anything mess with my sleep schedule. Perhaps if you take a class during the weekend, you can do some of the stretches at home. Hi, all. It was windy this…

@theslightedgeforever That’s okay! It’s good that you have exercised. It’s hard to be strict when you have company.

@trooworld Hopefully you will feel better as you follow up on the doctor’s and teams’ recommendations. Yoga sounds like it would help. I’m glad the soup was good. @cbabie I’m glad you’re feeling better. I love jelly beans and try not to have them in the house. It’s too bad someone brought them to you. But you can get back…

@its_cleo I think I’ve seen Easter Parade. I don’t watch those old movies often but when I do, I enjoy them. My DH does the gardening and inside plants. That’s not my thing. Good luck with your plants.

@its_cleo LOL. It wasn’t that kind of party! Mostly parents and grandparents watching their children perform. Yes, calorie counting is w good way to control weight and eat healthier. @trooworld I love the painting. Grazing on cheese, crackers and salami sounds good. I’ll have to look up that recipe. I’ll definitely use…

@trooworld That sounded like a lovely day. Hi, all. It was chilly this morning so I rode my recumbent bike. DH and I went to see our granddaughter play in her rock group. DS is cooking tonight. We are having Asian chicken and rice and an Asian salad. Both recipes are from the Milk Street Fast and Slow cookbook.

@trooworld That’s good news! It’s good that the surgeon is following up. That must be a load off your mind. It’s good that you’re feeling and eating better. Hi, all. It’s warmer here so I went for a walk. We’re eating out tonight. I’m not sure where.

@rosied1226 Welcome! I never really figured out the community aspect. But I did find this group and check in. After doing WW, the community is not the same as community on WW. I think you have to find the people you want to interact with.

@trooworld That’s too bad about the gallstones but good you don’t have the burning feeling after taking antibiotics. The 4 pound loss is really good. And so close to onederland! Hi, all. Today was a swim day. DS grilled the steaks and they were so good!

@cbabie I’m glad you’re feeling better. I love celebrating birthdays. You’re too funny about the salmon, but I get it. You probably wouldn’t like walking through the seafood market in Seattle. I forgot what it’s called. It’s the one where the employees throw the fish to each other.

@trooworld I think it’s a good thing that your work environment responded to you that way. You are fortunate to have a job/career that you have such good options. Hi, all. It’s warm here on the first day of spring. I went for a walk. I went grocery shopping and got salmon and corn on the cob for dinner. I have salad…

@theslightedgeforever I’m glad you checked in. @trooworld You’ll probably figure things out when you see your surgeon. It’s good to be proactive. @cbabie That’s that DH is giving you time to rest. I hope you feel better soon. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. It was warmer today and I sat on the front porch after lunch.…

@theslightedgeforever Good job on the walk and weight loss. Small amounts add up. @trooworld I hope you figure out what is causing your distress. @cbabie Sorry you are still not feeling good. It’s windy here, too. Hi, all. I’m back to my routine. I went grocery shopping and rode my bike. I’m tracking accurately. I gained 1…

@trooworld I’m glad your shopping went well. Meatloaf and asparagus sounds good. @cbabie Too bad about the cold. I hope you feel better soon. @its_cleo The soup sounds good. Yay to better choices and lower calorie ice cream! Hi, all. I’m home and it feels so good! We had fun and it was nice seeing family. I’m looking…

@trooworld That’s too bad you had to wait but at least you went to a nice coffee shop and read. There’s something peaceful about coffee shops. Going to Sam’s is exhausting. Hopefully you got what you needed. Hi, all. Today was a good one. We went to Starbucks to get coffee and then went to a brunch at a family member’s…

@trooworld I know about traffic in LA as my son and I have been there. He does the driving wherever we go! I hope traffic wasn’t too bad. @its_cleo I’m glad the physio had helped. It always feels good to have a new haircut. I’m getting mine cut this Thursday. That’s interesting about the birds. Hi, all. Today was a good…

@trooworld Sorry about the headache. I hope work wasn’t too bad today. Hi, all. Everything is good. Travel was easy. I’ve eaten some good food. I had pizza tonight which was a treat. It was a nice crispy cheese pizza with mushrooms, pesto and arugula. My cousin's daughter recommended the restaurant.

@trooworld Good job on working on hydration. I made that ATK recipe and it’s good, and actually healthier than most recipes on that site. @cbabie You must have needed that nap. Too bad about the coffee. That’s awesome that your DH has been without cigarettes. Hi, all. It’s cold and dreary so I rode the bike. DH and I…

@trooworld That’s a good idea to leave some shoes at work. Wow, that traffic sounds unreal! Hi, all. Today was a swim day. I was able to sit outside for a while and it felt good. Dinner was simple: broiled chicken breast that had been marinated in low fat buttermilk and Ranch seasoning, microwaved green beans and air fried…

@theslightedgeforever In that case, what can you do to start a routine? You know you will feel better when you do.
