My motivation for coming here: I joined the Spring challenge to stay healthy, keep myself accountable and to meet others. This is my second challenge here on MFP, oddly enough I had never heard of them the 10 years I was on Sparkpeople. I want to continue eating healthy and staying off the sugar. I have been off refined…

@kurtize -that is so awesome that your GD placed first in the fair! Congratulations to her! 🎉🎉🎉 @NovemberGail -so glad you are getting the computer problems resolved. I might need to get a new laptop. I can barely do anything on it. My husband is a computer wiz and he has tried everything he can do. We have 3 computers and…

Good morning everyone! Up at 5 so hopefully that means I will get a lot accomplished today! Grocery shopping and dropping off tax papers to the accountant. Have to stop and get ink for my printer at Staples. Getting hard to find in the stores because I have an older printer but it is better than the ones they make nowadays…

@DID_60LBS_BY60 -That is so heartbreaking! I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Lots of hugs. @NovemberGail -The doors look great! Way to go on the 4 mile walk. Diane-I sure do hope you start feeling better! Hope the doctors get it figured out. Lindie-I hope you like the vibration plate. Take it slow because it doesn't feel…

@Kurtize -So sorry about the loss of your friend. Lots of hugs sent your way. Tabatha-Sorry it has been a rough day. Hope things smooth out soon. That was my week, lots of little things that were adding up and causing me stress. Feeling better now that I dealt with all of it. Hope your day gets brighter. @Patti241 -Good…

Got it

Tabatha-Your makeup is beautiful! Perfect! @NovemberGail -way to go on the hike! Love hiking. Hope Billie feels better after getting his teeth pulled and it all goes well! Lindie- gorgeous flowers! What a site to see! Good morning everyone! Have a super day!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! That meme is so cute @macrat12. Happy Monday! @cormierannie -Nice that you got out on a run and walk! I used to run, but my right hip can no longer tolerate it. Had to retire from it after 18 years. Now it is hiking! Hope you have a great day! @Kurtize - Sometimes lazy weekends are the…

@tjharleygal55-How cool is that! What a great picture you got! We have some that are eating all of our greenery and buds on our apple tree. They have ate as much as they can reach. I see tracks in the snow every morning. @NovemberGail -So cute Billie doesn't want to come in. Sounds like me. I never want to come in from the…

@jeanhickokhaley1 -Beautiful picture. Good that the lake are filled up again. We used to have a cottage up north and loved getting out with our paddle boat. Wish we wouldn't have sold it, but back then we had so much going on that we just weren't using it. Hopefully one day we can get something else as we get closer to…

@NovemberGail -Oh I am so sorry about your stove. Yikes! I guess it would depend on how much a new one cost and how old is the one you have? Very pretty blue birds. When I visit my SIL in the summer, she has a lot of bird houses and one for bluebirds. They are so pretty. Lindie-Love all of your flower pictures. Probably…

Diane-Oh that view is incredible! Absolutely beautiful. Yes went on a hike yesterday. I will miss the snow! It is starting to melt today which is a big bummer! I love winter so much! Me and you sis are in the minority for sure...lol. Lindie-Yes it is a lighthouse in the picture. We have a lot of them along the shoreline.…

@tjharleygal55 -Oh my goodness...that picture is beautiful! I love, love winter. What state are you in that you are getting that much snow? I live in Michigan and we haven't got nearly that much and it is going to start melting tomorrow. @Kurtzize-Grands are the best. What a beautiful picture of them! Cat-the videos I do…

Good morning everyone! Diane-yes I stretch every day. It is a must for me to keep me on the trails. Years ago I had hip problems from all the hiking the past 25 years, so I seen a chiropractor. He got me all lined up again and never had to return to him because I found some awesome stretching videos online and they have…

Way to go Cat! You look fabulous! Congratulations!

Cat-That is some yummy food! Pasta looks great. Lindie-Love that meme about going to the gym! Hahahaha! Oh and yes I would have gotten my money back for the envelopes also. That is crazy 30 bucks for 100 envelopes. Someone be smoking something....lol Nothing new under the sun here today. Just work and I am taking somewhat…

Lindie-Oh I love those pictures. The quilts are so beautiful. Did you post a pic of your haircut? I thought Diane mentioned you posted a picture. Maybe I read it wrong. Cat-Snow has already melted. Here today, gone tomorrow has been the theme all winter for us. We haven't had any snow that has lasted more than a few days.…

Diane-no never did get in my office. Guess what I woke up to this morning.....lots of snow! I had a smile on my face like a chester cat! I was so excited and I am heading out here shortly for a hike. Waiting for my phone to charge up some. Tabatha-Congratulations! Make sure you post some pictures of the big day.…

Diane-Hope the monitor gives some insight as to why the blood pressure going wonky. Yes the U.P is quite beautiful. I really should visit my sister and explore the hiking areas. I would have to go by myself though and I am not familiar with the area up there so I wouldn't like that. I am afraid of heights and do not like…

Lindie- My mother is from the Upper Peninsula so I went as a child several times a year. My oldest sister lives there now. We went on a whim one day to Canada from Sault Ste. Marie while visiting my sister to see if we would spot any moose...lol. I cannot remember where we ended up, but it was a lot of country roads. Never…

Lindie-a gorgeous picture! Enjoy your walk! Hope the washing machine gets repaired soon. @NovemberGail-jacob is a cutie! Glad you enjoyed your Sunday and had some sunshine. Cat-that Cajun shrimp looks marvelous! Might be the all black it my picture. Hahahaha! Have a fantastic day everyone! From my hike yesterday! Blue…

Happy Sunday! Wow…thanks Cat for the compliment on the picture I posted. Must be all the hiking and weight lifting. I posted some before and after pics on Spark shortly before it shut down and I believe I weighed about 10 pounds lighter on spark. I had lost about 62 pounds and have kept most of it off. Put on about 15 in…

Lindie-some great looking meals! If I eat too much salt it blows me up like a balloon! Something I definitely need to be aware of! Thanks for explaining the banana belt! Learn something new everyday. Lol! Cat-Way to go! You look great in all the pictures! Congratulations 🎉🎈🎊 Nice and sunny hear today so will be hitting the…

This team please

@cesguin2- I saw some videos of the snow thunder. I’ve lived in Michigan my whole life and never heard of it before! Not sure where you are but south of us they got a big winter storm.

@LindieMaeP -yes we tap our maples on our property. It’s a lot of work and like I said not a big fan of maple syrup. I have never been into gaming and don’t really get the appeal but each to their own. Love the scarf! Beautiful plants too! @Catwmncat - I love the yasso bars but very hard to find around here! Happy…

@Dianedoessmiles1 -I cannot believe you have a cheater....that is ridiculous! I wonder why she is allowed to keep playing. I am exhausted after having Wyatte for 2 days. He is a wonderful kid and just brings my heart so much joy, but I am ready for a nap...lol. His mom's schedule changed and I will have him Monday and…

Good morning all! @LindieMaeP -Oh I love the purple iris! Looks like some daffodils coming too! Nothing like that here yet! @NovemberGail - Yard work is a great workout and I like the sense of accomplishment when it is done. @Tabatha_Cain - Woo hoo! Way to go on the sales! Yes I did get in a hike although it stayed cloudy.…

@LindieMaeP - Those Aussie Guy pies sound delicious! My husband likes Maxwell house coffee too! I can't drink it...for some reason it taste like chicken broth to me...hahahaha. We all have different taste buds for sure. I didn't start drinking coffee until about 15 years ago. The friends would stop at these coffee shops…

@Dianedoessmiles1 - I'm glad you found homes for the kitties! That would have been horrible if she was serious about throwing them in the river. My ex father in law was like that. He was cruel to some puppies their dog had. I used to think he was a nice man, but not after what he did to them. I was traumatized by it at…
