Today’s gratitude: alternatives to the Blinding Light “official video.” :sick:Why is it that the videos are so horrible? "Bad Habits" is the same. Yet both are favorite line dances. SMH. Welcome @meltumale Mel in the Bay Area! Rebecca, I think cilantro is at least partially genetic, like some folk (Lisa eg) find broccoli…

Today’s gratitude: Breezy, chilly, blue skies and break from the rain. Rebecca “… I sang your label. . . “ me too :laugh: Flea amen, sister amen! Debbie you must have extreme patience as well as fine motor control. My marshmallows were always singed… ;) Basil, sí, cilantro :noway: Welcome @florindagarciadupont Florinda!…

Today’s gratitude: warmer temps melted the last of the hail and snow. Still drippy and damp. Power continues to be on so might get some more laundry done today ;} Despite yesterday’s activity and CI<CO, weight up almost a pound this morning. Why? Late dinner. Came home so pooped had to nap, meant dinner at 7ish instead of…

Today’s gratitude:Joe’s fire-tending and ash-removing; love gifts of service. Ginny thank you for the balsamic chicken crockpot recipe. Most tender and juicy chicken ever! Perfect for adding protein and brightening up ramen. With light sour cream, mushrooms and a half portion of pappardelle a yummy “chicken stroganoff.”…

Wrapping up the Katla project, last call for adding profile pics, or a little note if you’d like. Will snailmail to her tomorrow, weather permitting. Sorry pgs 5 and 6 got squished, but better than the martian from the free pdf/jpg converter ;} Later, lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD

Today’s gratitude: the Katla project. Scrolling through all the profile pics, the love just shines out, warms my heart and lifts my spirits.

Happy birthday Rita!!! 👽 🎂 🛸 🎉 👾 🥳 Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD x8zcp1ya37k1.gif

Today’s gratitude: vimeo so can observe church services without venturing out onto the snowy, icy, windy road. Tina, appliances seem to be “disposable” nowadays. Unlike Lisa’s, our Samsung gas range from Sears with an extended warranty was a VERY bad experience. 2 month lead time for warranty repair guy appointment so paid…

February summary: better than January ;} Feb average weight 132.5, lighter than Jan by 0.5 lbs Average steps 6439, better than Jan’s 5077 PT, Hebrew, meditation never even started, will drop Hebrew, meditation and focus on PT exercises. Dedicated time with Joe, readings, BP, consistent line dance class, dog group, bone…

Today’s gratitude: all you wonderful, wise, funny, compassionate women. Thank you! Thanks Barbie for the fresh start. :love: “…now is the time to express my gratitude for having and doing enough.” Machka 1500 lightning strikes? WOW. Beth from 70F to 23F in a matter of hours? Yikes! Lisa “paying off our house yesterday”…

Back in December I intended to send Katla a note from her mfp friends, but dropped the ball. Katla was an active participant in the thread until health and memory issues caused her and her DH to move into assisted living near their daughter. I’d intended something like the attached, but didn’t follow through. If you…

Today’s gratitude: Relief! ;} Break in the rain for Joe to take dogs to powerline meadow before the downpour returned. Wonderful wood stove warming wet dogs. Vicki ;) well then your DH is my birthday twin… if he was born in 1950. :laugh: WOW. That is a lot of jury duty! Joy I have to keep whole wheat flour in the freezer…

Today’s gratitude: another day to try again. Yesterday made too many very poor choices, ended up nearly 700C over with minimal activity and predictable results (134.5!!!) Much as I love a good local organic sourdough, bread is NOT my friend :sick:. No bread nor cheese nor red wine :naughty: on the menu today, just oats,…

Thanks Lanette for asking and Machka for answering, was wanting to do this recently too. The mfp search is more targeted, but the Google search came up with another auntiebk, a gal named Brenda Klutz’s Pinterest nickname ;) and boy has she pinned some good looking recipes! :} Michele brava for the yoga and pilates results!…

Today’s gratitude: Able to listen to Joe’s advice without getting defensive or dug in. Pastor’s wife’s flexibility and offer to come get me if needed. Monday’s gratitude: puppy zoomies. Made it home safe yesterday. Sunday’s gratitude: wii came back to life after I unplugged it and let it rest a bit. Gang agley: Today’s…

Today’s gratitude: beautiful broccoli from Freddie’s yesterday. Made a colorful crunch salad. Tina (gentle hugs) Joy no sense in growing green beans if you and DH don’t like ‘em. Me, I don’t like fresh tomatoes, but will plant some for Joe… ;) Annie con VERY grats on getting your dad’s taxes done. 230 C of ice cream is a…

Today’s gratitude: mild temperatures, could reach 60F at dog group today ;) Annie you are in a very hard place. Please do what you can to prepare yourself.

Today’s gratitude: hemp stick then motion is lotion. OR tax refund deposited and allocated ;) Didn’t want to go to line dancing and almost blew it off. Glad I went, felt so much better afterwards. Kim Great idea! I’d love to bring the dogs down to you but then I’d just want to stay and play in the Bay Area . . . Annie the…

Rita are you ok? Saw there was a quake near you at oh dark thirty…. (Hugs)) Barbara the AHMOD.

Today’s gratitude: answering Joe’s call to see the big beautiful bright full moon, even though it meant getting my stockingfeet wet ;) Lisa so happy for the good news about the topical. ‘bout damtime you got some good medical news, imho. Barbie believe IRS can only go back 7 years, hope that helps. Tina agree we have to…

Today’s gratitude: after nap yesterday was way short on steps. Jeopardy walking took me over goal. Yay me! This morning wt back to 132.5 despite all the sodium in yesterday’s delicious chicken mole with chips, salsa and a salty margarita :devil: Machka Brava for speaking up! Fingers X’d all the test lead to improved vision…

Today’s gratitude: Joe sharing his Jeep diagnostics with me. He figured out the repair shop didn’t thread the serpentine belt according to the diagram that was right there on the engine cover. I loved how he showed me, asking be to look at the small wheel and belt, then at the diagram, letting me figure it out too. He was…

Recently someone posted a list of all the weight loss approaches they've tried with their conclusion that they knew what to do, but struggled doing it. Whoever it was (Vicki? Rosemarie? or???) would you repost! Giving me much food for thought. Thanks! Later, lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD

Today’s gratitude: Roomba ;) Bob & Brad’s rotator cuff explanation, stretches and strengthening exercises. Deb__23 Well done! Is there a reason for no dark leafy greens in the food example? Otherwise what Barbie said about not eating because you think MFP wants you to. What Ginny said about weighing food vs measuring. It’s…

Debbie that Godzilla is very “realistic.” Could your DH use the 3D printer to make Halloween/CosCon masks? Pip I didn’t believe “last project” til saw your response to Ginny. Tell us about your new ride? Welcome @jenniferinga Jen in GA! Be sure to take your measurements, sometimes when the scale is stuck the tape measure…

Today’s gratitude: Good Earth Sweet and Spicy tea, original, with caffeine. Yesterday’s gratitude: Found Post Office box key in pocket of jacket hanging in closet. Whew! Shopping the art and chocolate festival strategy did not work for meeting step goals… but I found a dark blue eyelet overshirt that fits, shoulders,…

Today’s gratitude: found my AF beer at liquor store. Kim ((hugs)) Love the paw print flowers. She’s a good friend.
