@fabgeekmom I think swimming would be a good workout. I really just like to play in the pool. I get extremely hungry though after the pool. @trooworld I have made two of the MFP recipes. I loved the basil tomato soup. The Indian ground turkey was good but next time I will make it a bit more soupy to go over my cauliflower…

@fabgeekmom Steak and salad sounds good. Did you enjoy your bike ride? I love drum lines in a band. Yes arts are so important in school. @trooworld Yaaay on balancing out your day. I would have enjoyed your concert. I enjoy the arts. I'm headed to the gym when I finish this. I made one of the MFP recipes today. Ground…

@cbabie So what else can you do to lose with with this other challenge? You aren't dead yet. Sell the house, buy an RV and travel. @trooworld Yaaay on your weight loss and not getting into the cheese popcorn. I can't keep that in my house. @fabgeekmom Yaay on your walk. How was the dr appt? Yosemite sounds fun. I've never…

Hey all I've done loads better with my food. I had a bday gathering out with friends last night. I had crispy brussels sprouts for my appetizer and ordered the tacquitos appetizer as my main. Left one on the plate. They ordered a big carrot cake which I said no too so I could have my iced coffee instead. pick and choose my…

I thought this an interesting article especially the part about what kind of cheater are you? https://hellonutritarian.com/how-to-cheat-on-your-diet/

@fabgeekmom The loaded nachos sound really good along with the fruit salad. plus grilled turkey burgers Yum @trooworld What's holding me back? Myself for one My procrastination thinking oh I'll do it later. Other people's schedule affecting mine. Not being consistent every day Yaaay on another piece of art sold. Thanks for…

@fabgeekmom Yaay on your exercise and recognizing when you were full. I agree with nutrition being more important than exercise but I don't think it can just be an either OR. If one leg is missing the stool will still fall over. I hate tornadoes. I've been in two of them. Glad your wind died down. @cbabie I did my Apple…

@trooworld I think it would be fun to view the eclipse through telescopes. What if you were to grab the coffee cup you use to sit in front of the computer and just fill it with water and drink that and then refill with coffee. Because you already have the habit of grabbing that cup and sitting in front of the computer.…

@cbabie So when the family wants Wendy's what could you order that would be a healthy choice? For instance 1)a small chili. OR 2)order a cheeseburger and remove the buns and throw it on a small side salad I found I order the same things when family decides fast food because of habit and its easier than trying to decide…

@renaegry Nice to see you. You have done an amazing job. Are your kiddos still active in sports? @trooworld 1) I could drink 10 oz first thing in the morning before coffee. Is this a habit every single day? I hate when I don't do what I say I'm going to do. I need my own list I think. OK, give me a question prompt. What's…

@gemwolf110 How are you doing on the losing/gaining journey? Doesn't it feel so good to get rid of stuff. Interesting info about tracking for the week. I'll have to figure it out. @trooworld How far are you away from 100 oz? List me three ways you could close that gap. Woohoo on the painting. Now I can tell my friends I…

@fabgeekmom I was busy all day and then thought about my challenge. Ugh! So I did 2 sets of 3 exercises with weights and then 5 min stretching. My oldest son who is doing a challenge with a friend acts like he suddenly found religion. Then wants to share that religion with everyone. :) He thinks my gym time does not count.…

@fabgeekmom I looked up your book. That sounds like a really good series. Every little discount is good. Your baked oatmeal sounds good. @trooworld I like garlic press better because it's quicker. But I'll probably keep using the zester because it works and I won't have to spend the money on another press. Yaay on your…

@fabgeekmom What audiobook were you listening to? Great job on your bike I like word puzzles and word games. I play Words with Friends everyday with a friend of mine. She beats me every single game but I do it strictly for the challenge of making words. @trooworld You are doing much better on your water. Good for you.…

@trooworld What did you learn this week from your dietician? You made me laugh out loud about worthless comment. Yaaay on your tracking @cbabie Instead of an all at once brain dump, can you record as you go? I have an app that I talk into and it sends it straight to my Trello inbox. What if everytime you were sitting on…

@Crowegirl49 We crossposted. I'm glad you joined our group. Yes I have slacked off on tracking lately. Back to it.

Always remember on goals: Measure the gain and not the gap. Look at what you did right and then do better next quarter. Like in a race, improve your time just a little bit. @trooworld What's one action step you can do this quarter to stop gaining? @cbabie You got on the treadmill. That's an improvement. So what's the…

@Crowegirl49 Welcome to the group! Quick check in. Happy Easter to all that celebrate. I walked for 36 min today with hubby. We didn't finish our usual route because he said his back was twinging. But we did get out there. Can't believe tomorrow is April. This first quarter of the year has really flown by. Did you meet…

@trooworld I always "rice" a head of cauliflower with my food processor and then bag up 1 c servings and keep them in my freezer. So technically it was fresh and frozen. lol I like cheesy cauliflower rice so I keep those on hand for a quick snack when I need some comfort food. In the ingredients it listed it as 1 16 oz…

@trooworld This is the recipe for the tater tots. https://enjoycleaneating.com/cauliflower-tots-air-fryer/ Too bad about your Saturday night @fabgeekmom I'm so glad they invented air-fryers. Your swim sounded nice

@trooworld Thanks for the shawarma recipe. I'll try it sometime this week. Natural history museum sounds fun. @fabgeekmom Yes salad dressing. The buttermilk ranch. I'm glad you enjoy your Peloton @cbabie It seems to be raining everywhere. I know you hate walking in a mall but put the baby in a stroller and walk on the…

@cbabie Barley: :D It's possible you have never eaten it in a good recipe.

@trooworld How did you airfry the shawarma? Sounds interesting? No exercise the past couple of days. @cbabie How are you feeling these days? Better? Have you tried salmon or just imagine you don't like it? I know you like McDonalds filet of fish. :D Salmon is the only fish I like except for battered fish with chips…

@fabgeekmom So many people I know have plantar fasciitis I wonder how to prevent it? @trooworld You look like you had a really relaxing day @cbabie this is butter chicken. Did you go to the dr about your sore throat? Maybe it's strep or something. No exercise. I made chicken kufta and potatoes in the dutch oven. I think I…

@fabgeekmom Thanks for the explanation about the cookbook. That was interesting. I tried the frozen water bottle once and the tennis ball. But I've found relief with my inserts. ooh eggroll in a bowl. That sounds good. @trooworld No idea about the Mason jars. I've got the one with the little metal clamp. Usually I just…

@trooworld No idea really when strawberry season is. I buy year round cause of the anti-oxidants. I've recently discovered the magic of putting berries in Mason jars. No more spoiled berries. I'm not really bothered by my plantar fasciitis since I started using my inserts. When I first started wearing them it felt like I…

@trooworld 10 min would be good for a start. Cause mentally I'm just not with it. My battery died today and I didn't know it. So when I went out to go on my walk, it was all black. I said my body knows I took a walk. @cbabie Diced apples and walnuts in the yogurt is good. Although I still need to add one packet of Stevia…

@trooworld No hills here. Thus the treadmill. Very good for pretracking @cbabie I like to put a cut up apple in yogurt or blueberries. Actually we like to hike when we are on vacation. I'm always in the back though since they get up those hills quicker than I do. My goal is to be at least second. @fabgeekmom I love…

@trooworld Incline program: it didn't Hubby asked me if I would go for a walk so I did that instead. I did close my rings so I'm okay with my choices today. I'll need to do my incline program earlier if he chooses to walk again. Thanks for asking and keeping me accountable. You made a good choice with the pitaya bowl.…

@trooworld What if you went hiking with this friend. That would be good for you and her. Some good quality time together. @cbabie I didn't know to ask about the asthma and spent 5 years going to the dr and he never even thought about it. Imagine if I hadn't moved and was forced to find a new pediatrician. Yes the live to…
