@elise4270 - too funny on Alex's text. Agree - the Golden Rule! People can be awful on FB. Or everywhere! I am glad seeing him brought you comfort and that you have some support. I hope no one is rude tonight or at the service. Vent away!

@elise4270 -Love those pictures! I know I can't speak for everyone but I think our hearts are all aching for your loss. I've been thinking of you and Alex every time I exercise and eat (which, as you know, is a lot). It's got to be so hard to try to help your DD when you are hurting so. I just don't know what to say other…

@quilteryoyo - that is terrible about Shawn’s finger! Wow, how scary- adorable pics and glad you had a fun day. So cute to see your dad holding the little ones. @bearly63 - I can see why you ride to much. It is very fun and addictive. Nice that you got to eat out too. @shanaber - such weird weather - like every else in…

@elise4270 - know that we are all grieving with you. Like we all said - just no words to express it. :cry: Weight up 1.2 so > 150 but had a big dinner and drinks so I think it will go down in a few days. Going to see granddaughter today so will probably eat a lot again tonight if we do take aways. 45 min run on TM and 20…

@elise4270 - omg, there are no words. I am so sorry.

Yikes @elise4270 ! I went to neurologist for the numbness in my left hand, ring and pinkie fingers. Dr. Google had said it was Ulnar Neuropathy and indeed it is. I did not enjoy that nerve test! I was a pile of sweat like I'd just run when it was done. I told him this table is going to be drenched. He ran out and turned…

@elise4270 - what an ad! In related news, we have a bidet and love it. There is a restaurant in New Smyrna Beach that has very fancy bidets - they have dryers, seat warmers, different water temps and speeds. So I looked into getting one for home but it was ridiculously priced. But I found one, and got it November and we…

@quilteryoyo - great, glad he's home! Weird on BP. DH's bp is just really weird too ever since aFib. I was down below 149 today! Was shocked. So many days of weight yoyoing around. I'll take it! Met friends from school at a pizza place near the school and we were able to eat outside, in the shade and it wasn't super hot.…

@bearly63 - agree on leadership and protests - I'm for protests but not for looting for goodness sake. I am not sure I can make a 6pm ride. But if I do I will let you know. I did a ride with Ally Love today - OMG I loved her too. There are so many good instructors. This was just a recovery ride after I did a 15 minute ride…

@elise4270 - forgot to say that yes, the regular cream is the heavier one. I love it that one. If you can find a person in a store (mine is at Bloomingdales they will give you lots of gifts/money back). Mine texted me that June 10-21 get 25 gift card for every 100 spent. So then the next time you use buy it you can save…

@elise4270 - thanks for the thyroid tips. I'm debating. I guess it won't hurt to go to endocrinologist but I feel like I'm turning into a nutcase at the moment with all these appts I have coming up. Part of it is because I was so busy last summer, that I put off appts and now they are stacking up. I really don't want to…

@quilteryoyo - hopefully dad goes home today! @shanaber - That's so sad about the restaurant owner. :cry: I don't know how these small business owners are going to make it. @bearly63 - I'm trying to take it slow as I am starting out on Peloton because I know I will be as addicted as you are. I thought about part time and…

Wow, I somehow let the weekend fly by and came to see 26 messages here! Glad all the doggies are better! @bearly63 - I use just the Cream. My sales lady says some people like the soft cream in the summer, but I didn’t like it as much. It is lighter. Today is the last day of my current run streak - 71 days. I enjoyed it and…

@shanaber - That student did work for Google last summer. I don't know if he got anything for this summer. Originally he was going to Moscow for the International Programming collegiate competition, with 2 of his other MIT teammates - so they were going to be practicing and doing research at MIT this summer. But that was…

@RunsOnEspresso - glad he is doing okay! Scary! @Elise4270 - make sure you watch a video on how to apply it. You only need a tiny amt and you shouldn’t touch it except with the little stick thing. (So says my sales lady). It’s just at Sephora. If you can get it in a local dept store they will give you lots of samples too.

@RunsOnEspresso - thanks for the article - as everyone has said it is very good. Guilty -- especially during my really long bike rides. I am adding Roar to wish list also. I've got a stack I'm going through! I had the problem with no periods when I was in early 20s and lost a ton of weight. When I look back on it, I didn't…

@quilteryoyo - I also always eat breakfast. Sometimes I am not hungry. On Monday night neither DH or I felt hungry but we both knew if we didn't eat, we would wake up hungry and have to eat in the night time. I guess that never happens to you? It does to me if I don't eat enough calories. I can't fall back asleep unless I…

@shanaber - Hobbes looks so funny! Sorry about the jerk cyclist. You can imagine as a cyclist/runner I am nice to anyone I meet! @elise4270 - and Bear is too funny! @bearly63 - cake looks amazing! I'm sure it was! I get what you are saying about the attitude of "world is ending so eat whatever". I had that feeling,…

@quilteryoyo - Nice run! I was studying my weight and although I have so many ups and downs each week, the trend is down 1 pound in approx 5 weeks. I’m fine with that! @avidkeo - awesome on sleep and on track! @RunsOnEspresso - nice run! Our dog snores too. We rode 50 miles today. Our cycling club announced that group…

@shanaber - wow those are artichokes? They start out so pretty and then.... LOL Yes, he has only ridden it once so far. But says he will today. He said he would use the treadmill and has used it 1/100 of the times I have and I've not used it much until Covid. Jealous of your strawberries! As I said before, the first time I…

@bearly63 - my Peloton name is shardear. Congrats to your daughter and family! Great you got a run in! @RunsOnEspresso - lol 1 calorie! Good job! I was finally <150 today (by .3) . Rather surprised because calories were up yesterday. Sometimes it's that push over that makes it go down. But like @bearly63 I will probably…

@avidkeo - beautiful picture! I think we would call it a boardwalk, though it's not made of boards. ;) The final 3 pounds is my hardest. I can't seem to get < 150! @elise4270 - I wish I knew the answer to get your brain in the right direction for food. But, as I always say, we knew how to figure it out, we'd all be…

@shanaber - wow, that is a lot of news. I've never heard of anything like that. But I have no heart experience other than my husband having the a-fib incidents last year. I hope you can make a plan soon. @Elise4270 - wow, that is creepy! Glad you told the girl. @quilteryoyo - we have a "take picture" day next week for our…

@elise4270 - Oh gosh, hope they can get you in quickly! A pencil tip - wow that is amazing they saw it. I used to love the multifocal lenses and then they stopped working. For about 2-3 years I've been wearing one contact for distance in left eye and then nothing in right. But for the last two months at home, I've worn…

@bearly63 - Happy Birthday! Loved that video! @elise4270 - Stuffed French Toast! Never had it, sounds good! @RunsOnEspresso - I liked How Bad Do you Want it. Motivating anyway! I am reading Big Lies in a Small Town. Really good so far. I had one of those wake up at 1am nights and couldn't fall back asleep, so got up and…

@elise4270 - I know what you mean about the more you clean... the dirtier it gets. Hope you are out of the funk today. It seems as though the whole world is in a funk. Did a 3 hour bike ride, not particularly fast, but Garmin only said it was 780 calories. Weird, usually that's at least 1000. Then 1 mile on Treadmill. Had…

@RunsOnEspresso - such a cute dog! And usually I can never get good pictures of black dogs, but that one is great! (One of my son's dogs is a black lab mix). @avidkeo - love that you have a great attitude about you need to eat more for your long runs! I need some of that mindset! @quilteryoyo - yep, that will do it! Agree…

@shanaber and @bearly63 - thanks for the smoothie tips! I've been in a rut lately with my old blender. Whenever I get to the grocery or order online I will buy more ingredients. Yeah, the smoothie looked disgusting, but it was so good. I guess I am going to need to buy extra spinach each week. @bearly63 - very cool on the…

I noticed that one of the blogs on the home page referenced this article: https://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/get-over-it/ which I thought I was pretty good to help yourself remember to not beat yourself up for skipping exercise one time, or overeating one meal/day. @shanaber - The one I have in my classroom is a MakerBot.…

@elise4270 - yay!!! Good job. One day at a time, adulting! @RunsOnEspresso - that is a really good link. We have a club at school called African American something or other. I will try to download it and share it with the sponsor. Though I know a lot of seniors were leading the club and sometimes clubs fizzle out when the…
