Hi everyone. A few weeks ago I had x-rays done and to my surprise my ribs were not broken. Just badly bruised. I've been icing and resting. I've been completely pain free for a few days now. I am slowly adding back in exercise. Today I took advantage of the beautiful weather and went for a long walk. @nsk1951 Sorry to hear…

Happy September! This is going to be my "play it by ear" month. I am not making any goals for myself aside from staying on plan with eating. Last week I injured my ribs on a hike. I jumped onto a wall to peek into the water to see a snapping turtle. When I did I felt pop pop pop in my ribs followed by intense pain. I am…

This was the new park we found. We walked on the bluff first before making our way down to the beach. My daughter is becoming quite the adventurist. She found deer prints on the bike and excitedly pointed them out to us. I’ve tried taking her hiking in the past but she always complained about it. I love that she is finally…

These pics were from our walk around town the following day. This sign outside one of the shops spoke to me. I looked at my husband and said “I am living proof of this!”

This was the park where I injured myself. In one of the pictures you can see the bridge that I am talking about. Despite the injury it was a great day!

August ended with a "bang" for me. :s On Tuesday we went to one of my favorite spots from when I was a child. It is a pond with hiking trails. I have not taken my daughter there since she was a baby. We decided it was a gorgeous day, not warm enough for swimming, but perfect to go on a family hike. My daughter loved it! We…

@nsk1951 Thank you. I am in the process of hiring a new lawyer. Within a week or so things will start back up again. The lawyer I am hiring says this can take 6-9 months depending on the courts. :( I make zucchini boats too. I stuff mine with vegetables and bread crumbs/ stuffing or I do a grain such as rice, quinoa,…

I believe I mentioned it before that I love love love cooking. When I first switched from vegetarian to WFPBNO I struggled a lot. Not only did I have to relearn how to cook I had the most difficult time fully giving up cheese. My husband is omni and my daughter is vegetarian. I don’t believe in restricting them because I…

@magic71755 HAHA the water was so cold! I love that I happened to catch the photo at the perfect moment. :D

@Carla_wfpb I hope Radar is doing better. That sounds stressful. @magic71755 Congrats on the kitchen and the organization. I love that for you!

I forgot to add one of the light house

Yesterday we took a drive to the end of the island- Montauk. We climbed to the top of the light house, walked all around town and played in the ocean. I found an area with purple sand, the pictures don’t do it justice. It was a fantastic day! Here are some of my favorite pictures from yesterday. The picture of my daughter…

We also discovered a lot of painted rocks placed around for memorials.

A view of the water from the trails and a pic of us on our walk

These are the interactive touch screens, some of the signs in the center and a sea robin that was in the outside tank. I’ve seen one of these swim by last time I was in the water and never knew what it was.

Here are some pics for you bisky! I mentioned that our north shore is rocky because it is the sound not the ocean. In this picture someone was driving a car that goes in water. I’ve never seen one before and thought it was unique. The land you can see in this picture is Connecticut. Some days it is visible and other days…

Yesterday we went to the beach with my neighbor and had a great day. I've been going to this particular beach my entire life. Yesterday the kids got ice cream from the truck and we went on a walk before returning to our blankets. On our walk we discovered trails that I never knew existed. We turned to check it out and…

@Melwillbehealthy Yes it will involve having to go through the court system. I have been put in a position where I really don't have any other option but to pursue this action. It is a really sad situation but for the past year and a half I have been doing everything I possibly can to get things worked out "fairly". I put…

@mnwalkingqueen I've tried making sweet potato fries before and had difficulty getting them crispy as well. Our new oven had the air frying option. I should try making them again in that and see if that makes a difference. I did make yuca fries in the air fryer last week. Those came out very tasty! I am glad you had a…

Hi everyone. Last week was a rough week for me. I kept up with my regular exercise but skipped my Gilad workouts. This week started off very emotional but today I am feeling like myself again. I've just completed another round of Gilad. Today is yoga. I still have not found a yoga session that I love. I think my…

My week has been stressful. I am dealing with a situation that is looking like I may have to take someone to court. I am in the process of interviewing lawyers and finding out my options. To make things even more enjoyable, I ended up burning my hand mid week as I was distracted and completely forgot that the pan I had…

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I appreciate it.

Thank you!

@TwistedSassette Thank you very much. I will check out both of them. :)

I've been completely vegan for the past 4 months. I have been transitioning to WFPB for the past two years and vegetarian for the past 30 years. I would love some more vegan friends.

Day 6: Going strong. Today I decided to do a second day of yoga. I have not found a routine I love yet. The two I've done so far were only 10-15 minutes long. I was hoping to find something a bit longer. I also rode the stationary bike for 50 minutes. The rest of the day I spent outside trimming trees. I finished the day…

Thank you everyone for the kind words. Day 5 and I am doing well. Tuesday was cardio kickboxing, Wednesday was strength training with weights and resistance bands (upper and lower body), Thursday was core strengthening (abs and glutes), Friday was full body conditioning. My chest muscles have stopped aching but now my abs…

Accountable August. I love it! To me it means to set goals for myself and do my best to meet them. The only one I am letting down by not meeting my goals is myself. I've learned along the way that some months are better than others. Last month was a really rough one for me. I was dealing with a lot of stress. I ended up…

Goals:* Gilad's XCelerate 4 - The program consists of 4 different workouts. Each day you focus on something different. Once you complete the rotation you take a day or two off to rest then start again. * Yoga - On my non Gilad day I would like to start yoga * Stretching @mnwalkingqueen Thank you! My doctor looked really…
