Y'all, my internet just went out for a day, don't know why this happens. Just giving a heads up in case I disappear from MFP again. Hopefully not. It's frustrating. So used to being connected to you'all, feel lost when I can't. Like that commercial on TV... Ugh. Paula

Shelley, The beer explains the wonky build, doesn't it. How funny! Karen, So glad you didn't get Covid and your mom is okay now. Hope she didn't get too much of a wallop, it might not be as deadly now, but it sure can hit hard. Chris, I think you like it when your trainer works you hard, don't you, lol! I've started…

I am now doing ten less strenuous TRX squats per kitchen trip. The nice thing about being so out of shape, is how easy it is to get a workout. Paula

Kathy, It warms my heart so much to see you getting so much out of life. Much love to you and your Mom. Hugs to Ron. <3 Paula

Did really deep slow squats yesterday which were too much for my left knee. So I'm switching to more reps of easier, shallower and faster squats today. Paula

I started doing kitchen-entrance TRX squats this afternoon. So far only once, but it's a start. paula

Kathy, If vibrations helps (and maybe they do), please know my heart is joining in the positivity. <3 Paula

Is it possible to pull thigh muscles? Climbing a ladder, my right leg failed lifting on the last rung. Maybe the extra weight was too much. Odd, cuz I climbed it fine last month. Anyway, three days of rest and Advil. My TRX is right next to the kitchen. When my leg's okay, I'll try five squats every time I go in the…

I'm not doing leg strengthening because my knees are so bad. It's a Catch 22, exercise damages the joint but no exercise weakens the legs. But looking at this challenge reminded me of TRX, so I'll try that. Paula

Chris, Jack Reacher is better than alcohol. Wait, hmmmm, let me think about that. Anyway, hope you got a good rest and reset. How old is Ronan now? Is that the terrible twos? Hope it's just temporary. Babies are beautiful but challenging. {{Huggss!!}} Paula

Hey Chris, Down here we got the emergency alert on our phones about your earthquake too, but we didn't feel it. I think it was 3.something in your area. Glad you were all okay. The alert sounded like a siren going off, designed to trigger panic and instant response. But earthquakes happen so fast, that messages are too…

Hugs, Chris.

Love it, Chris. <3

Does living through the age of jets, TV, internet and cell phones make seemingly miraculous contraptions feel extremely plausible? For example, can you imagine having a 3D printer using gummy bear material instead of plastic that could "receive" a treat sent like a fax machine?

I was catching up on past posts. Everyone looks great. Kathy, your mom is such a doll. Shell, I'm jealous you're in such great shape. Karen thank you for sharing your travels. Beautiful locations. <3 <3 <3 Did TwistedSassette disappear? I think she was another Hogwarts Challenge player. Chris, I have/had aFib which got…

Shell, Poor babies, but Libby and Barney probably love losing those toothaches! paula

In the food tracker, the entries for frozen wild-caught salmon are all over the place. Even still, 130 seems really low. I entered it for normal salmon and got some verified amounts that hit around 230.

Hello old friends, Thanks for still being here. Hope you are all well. My internet died a few months ago, so I've been offline. A neighbor is letting me connect to his router for now - a godsend. It'll be nice to track meals online and hang with y'all again. Nice to see everyone. Paula

Why'd a hot air balloon land there, Shelley? So strange! Hope your ragdoll was just sad that you were gone traveling and is otherwise okay. Best wishes, Paula

Kathy, You're so beautiful. Paula

Hello all, Sorry for my long absence. Sister broke wrist. Flew to Utah to care for her. Got Covid. Internet stopped working altogether - shocked to see it work this morning and happy to check in with you'all. That's the nutshell. My weight is up to 220. Hard to remember when it was embarrassingly easy to lose. Being…

Hey Shelley, Sorry I gave you the wrong impression. I just tripped in my own yard walking to the fence to look down the hill into the neighboring property. Didn't approach anyone, not even close. There's 30-40 yards, trees and a cliff between the two properties. And no stitches, just scratches. ((hugs)) Paula

Hand raised. Also in the "struggling" club. Also, haven't done Chris' workouts yet. Ahhh... Bella is gorg. So glad she'll have the dance experience to remember. She sounds so together. Glad y'all got rid of the nasty gallbladders. Mine's still fine I guess, never noticed it. Kathy, Congrats on the M, what a great thing to…

Ah, my computer seems to be working again. Fingers crossed. I gained weight while not tracking food. But not gonna dwell on that here until it's back on track. Past few days have been good. We'll see... Chris, I love both those videos and am really looking forward to getting into them. (But good intentions are my friend;…

Kathy, Your mom sounds so amazing. Hugs all around! Paula

My internet is screwy and kicks me off after a few minutes, which is frustrating, which is why I've been aWOL. Also can't log my food, gone crazy, turned into a bump on the log and afraid to weigh. But it's so relaxing! LOL!! Gonna post now before it dies. Love all, Paula
