I've had a lot of breathing issues because of allergies. I had to get out today on my bike, I've missed cycling the trails! and I'm going to be traveling so biked up to the Veteran cemetery to talk to Dad and get his blessing. I think his ghost was too busy watching two workers attempt to power wash a fence by facing each…

@Cyncia85 -- I drink coconut water for electrolytes sometimes. Back when I was going to the gym the healthfood store was next door and I would buy a bottle for after a workout. I haven't had any in awhile, I might have to pick some up again :D I've been on a green drink powder with L-Threonine Magnesium added, has made me…

First of all, could I be excused for May? I'm going on vacation. I have a bad GI so I usually eat a lot less when I travel! But pretty sure I won't be in an area I can weigh in. I've been doing a 10K training program but with my joints it's a little too difficult at the moment, so I need to cross train more I think. I have…

A lot of my friends have migrated away or dropped off of MFP - could use some more pals. I post everyday.

@JenHul, I love conventions. I was filmed at one for a documentary called, 'Trekkies 2' a long time ago, lol.

@Tomsgal1985 -- Catch anything? :D :+1: @izzyred9400 -- I'm an artist and I really want to go to Greece now, I am obsessed with the colors! Here we have green and green, lol

Itadakimasu7 Weight Check In PW: 197.1 CW: 195 (water flux) @izzyred9400 -- I can't get over those colors in Greece, amaaaaazing, wow, so beautiful

My son asked me if I wanted to go to the beach and walk this morning, doing the step challenge this week so trying to get in some extra stepping! The tide was very far out so I was able to go into the shipwreck and take some photos. I wanted to find some pretty stones or shells but not much on the beach today. The Wreck of…

@Itadakimasu7 did you want to partner up again for the walking challenge? We can keep our team name as "Gallifrey Gals"? Let me know, if not that's ok :smile: [/quote] @JenHul Roger that, I've been a bit out of pocket lately, send me a message when / where to report steps and we'll do it! Sorry for a late response, if I'm…

Itadakimasu7 PW: 191.1 CW: 197.1 I had pizza last night for my anniversary and I suspect it's water and menopause.

If anyone sees anything strange during the eclipse, let your spooky UFO obsessed friend here know okay? I wish I could go see it, but my friends back home in Texas and Oklahoma are trying to cover it for me a bit. :-P Any tips for getting through a weight plateau? It doesn't seem to budge even with planned meals and…

I'm on a personal mission to cycle everyday and today I cycled all the way to the lake and back. (Oregon coast) I don't think my weight has budged at all, but I feel better and I've been super busy with gardening and yard work and creative projects. It feels good not to feel bad :+1:

@ Krysless2 -- Did he get sick in Cancun? Ever see the tv show, "Monsters Inside Me" usually starts with, "we had been on vacation and shortly after symptoms began..." Definitely get him checked for parasites, there are a few that can cause the vomiting / GI issues. Usually in Mexico people get got with ice, they will…

Itadakimasu7 PW: 191.4 CW: 191.5 Ugh, I've been feeling really insecure lately about my weight / appearance. I'm going through menopause and my skin is all dry and I wake up puffy and I have cellulite for days. :(

@izzyred9400 -- I love the bunnny!

Hi! I can't believe another month has passed by so quickly again friends. Well, I feel like I repeat myself on the welcome posts, but I'm a 49 year old eccentric living in the Pacific Northwest / Oregon Coast. I collect Lucky Cats (cat lover!) and have been learning Japanese. I'm visiting Okinawa in May! Maybe some of my…

@Pupowl --I feel ya girl, hang in there ((hugs))

@cookiecrumbles9 - It's tough with newborns. If there is anyway you can get a break for yourself and have fun, a dance class, a book club, whatever for a little bit of time each week it might help. It really helped me, I was very heavy when I had my son but luckily lived near a gym and I think the break everyday for 20-30…

Weigh In Itakamimasu7 PW: 188.4 CW: 191.1 I'm being a struggler lately. ;-P My thyroid is low, I'm going through menopause and I am always hungry and snacking. Hmm. I hope to get this under control this week. I'm outgrowing my bigger garments and getting some wild stretch marks.

@tatilove1988 -- oi' that sounds like it's wrecking your week, dang - hope you feel better soon! Sending you the good vibes!

@jugar -- wow, I really want to try to grow some greens now. That's awesome thanks for sharing that! I'm going to try to find some seeds and give it a go. I have a grow light but haven't done much with it this year. Anyone know anything about fixing fingernails? Mine are grooved, pitted, peeling, and brittle....they had…

Tuesday Weigh In Itadakimasu7 PW: 188 CW: 187.4 I saw a vet online yesterday say that Easter Lily plants, and plants in the Lily family - all of them, are very, very toxic to cats. Even licking the pollen off their fur from brushing up against one can be enough to shut down their kidneys. He's a vet so I guess he should…

Today we had pretty nice weather, started out cold and foggy. I live by a river and the boats were sounding their horns in the fog. Only two kitties showed up for Yoga! Because the grass was wet my yoga mat now has dirty paw prints on it. I have another nicer mat for indoors! :D Today I went to Home Depot with my son and…

Day 96 of chest cold. Ugh. Okay, not really -- but it *feels* like day 96! Today the weather turned warm so I was out early for backyard yoga and mediation with the cats. My tortie girl "Wookie Bear" always tries to eat the mat. In the afternoon I walked over to the Fort and took some photos of areas I thought you guys…

@JenHul -- Sounds like a pinched nerve or something, ouch. Yoga with Adriene has a lot of back focused stretch videos. Also on Youtube I enjoy videos from HasFit and one of my favorites because he's funny and keeps me company, Sean Vigue. I hope it's better soon - back problems are no fun. I have a few issues with mine for…

Can I be excused from this weeks weigh in? I forgot to weigh in!

@jessicakrall8 ((hugs)) Know that: YOU ROCK. :+1:

@frankbrown -- Hey if it's not too much trouble, if you know the name of the volunteer program teaching conversational English abroad is something I've really been wanting to do, as well as short term volunteering in orphanages in Japan. I have a background as a teacher (grade 11+ US) but have been learning Japanese for a…

@FWSWCindy -- Messi! My favorite soccer player :D :+1:
