  • Asinine. 1. It literally means "like an *kitten*", 2. Takes stupid up a notch.
  • Sorry, couldn't resist my knee-jerk response to your topic question! However, I do empathize with you. I marvel that ppl can be satisfied with one chocolate chip cookie, for instance. What has worked for me is to eliminate all sweets for awhile and then add a really good, high percentage chocolate (80-85%) so that I don't…
  • ......have the dentist pull it?
  • Chop up a bunch of root vegetables, including lots of onion and mushrooms, saute up with some ground beef/meat, add some oregano, thyme or basil if you'd like and sprinkle with some soy sauce or just salt and pepper....yummy, easy and lots of leftovers! Also very good with tofu or tempeh in place of the meat. The smaller…
  • Years ago a wise nurse told me that if I'm feeling depressed, one of the first things to do is to cut out sugar and alcohol. FWIW! I wish you the best! You CAN do this! :flowerforyou:
  • Hmmmm, I'm still working on this one.....:ohwell:
  • It was 30 below and a wicked nor'easter was blowing outside! Her husband had been standing at the window and staring for hours. She guessed if it kept up much longer, she'd have to let him in.
  • Feeling confident and not at all self-conscious my first time on the Pickleball court on Thursday!
  • Sounds like good advice! Btw, GinandJuice75, great job on weight lost! You look fabulous!! :flowerforyou:
  • I think Kombucha is poised to become the new sexy drink! Now if only bars and restaurants would carry it! A fermented beverage, little or no alcohol content, low calorie, high probiotics and B vitamins, fizzy and fun flavors! Then when you become hooked on it, you can acquire a scoby and start making your own! I mean…
  • :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
  • Affirmative!

  • More like an arrow, I'd say. ETA: But an arrow with no intent to harm!
  • Darlin'......you rock! Big time!!:flowerforyou:
  • Wow! Good for you! I love how one day you decided you just weren't going to put up with excuses and yo-yo dieting any longer! And you had the courage to change! Yay! So very well done! You are doing a fantastic job and you look absolutely great! :flowerforyou:
  • Let's break this down: Could you sleep? Could you? You sleep next to the above. The above used. Used in a double bed. ........Next question, please!!
  • Good Morning WW, Well I finished up my 2 week challenge with a bang....of the hammer that is! I put in 2 hours or so of deconstructing a wooden bridge, which, along with an hour on Friday puts me at exactly 24 hours of exerting myself with activity and exercise! The challenge did push me to do more on days I might've eased…
  • Well, today I logged 80 minutes but I'm gonna claim 90 minutes just cause......I usually only log really active times and most often round down......like I'm not using a stop watch here or logging every step. How's this: I'll claim the extra 10 minutes for getting up in the middle of the night, coming down stairs, out the…
  • Yeah, this thread went epic in a very short span of time! Good on ya, OP! Hope the bruises aren't lasting! And I mean that most sincerely! Oops, now no matter what I say, it sounds insincere. But I really am! Sincere in hoping you come out of this thread unscathed! :ohwell:
  • Sure, I'm game for calories burned! Have never really tracked 'em before, so it'll be interesting to see. Today I logged 2 hours of yoga and badminton...which was totally fun! So, 19.5 hours to date and 4.5 to go with 3 days to fit them into! I think I can, I think I can.... When this rain stops, I'm gonna have some…
  • You are fabulous, awesome, courageous and beautiful! Can you say "inspirational"? Thanks for sharing! :flowerforyou:
  • Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice herb tea, diluted with water to make a 16 oz drink. Bengal Spice has a very nice, slightly sweet, cinnamon flavor. I drink it warm or cold all day long! A really easy way to get my water intake! I think it's probably better to drink plain water, but...........
  • My Tuesday check-in: Saturday, Sunday and today were each 1.5 hours for a grand total of 17.5 hours! So far, so good! As for the June challenge, since I am not hooked up to a device that measures steps or distance....or anything actually!.....those challenges would not be of interest. However, that doesn't mean you…
  • Morning!! I'm still here! And will be back when I have time to check in! :wink:
  • ^^^^This.....watching my daily weight helps me stay on track!
  • Sue, you are up bright and early! I like the idea of staying with this thread through the week! I sometimes forget to go back to a thread after I've posted and miss other's posts! I did just go back and read your post from yesterday evening......you rocked the city!! Way cool about the clothing haul! You must be so happy…
  • How It All Vegan: Holy Moly Hummus This is the best hummus recipe I've ever come across! And it's in the MFP food database. Rather than write out the recipe, I'm going to put a link to it. PS: I usually use a can of chickpeas and then add a bit of water for a better consistency. I consider the parsley and jalapenos…

  • Yikes! I just wrote a book in answer to your post, Sue, and my internet connection failed! So, I'm sorry that you won't get to read my "book", but I don't have the inclination to try to rewrite it! I'm doing fine toward my goal.....just mowed the lawn for an hour and got some gardening in as well. Is the challenge to get…
  • That bike ride sounds like loads of fun, lemurcat....kinda like a bike party and everyone is invited! Hope the weather is great on Sunday! I've been going at it in the garden, turning over the soil with my trusty garden fork! I usually do it with a rototiller, but this year I'm leaving the mulch in place and just turning…
  • More energy today and less rain! ^;^ 180 minutes total for gardening and yoga! Hope you all had a great Wednesday!
