Hello Spring! What did you do in your garden today?
I thought I'd start this thread for daily or weekly updates. Since it's morning in my time zone I haven't done anything yet today, but I was busy yesterday. We had a rare 60 degree day and it was just lovely outside. The rest of the week will be cold and rainy in the 40's, so I wanted to take advantage while I could enjoy…

Miracle Noodles
I've been wanting to try these, so finally bought some when the price went down a bit (Amazon Prime Day). I've read the instructions - drain, rinse, boil, then dry pan fry. Seems like a bit of effort, but I'm up for it. Now what? I know the instructions say can be used in any pasta dish, but looking for some honest…

RaeBeeBaby's Progress
Starting my own thread here so I can track better. I had been having a hard time getting my Vivofit to sync with Garmin connect for many weeks so haven't posted in awhile. Everything seems to be working fine now and I'm getting caught up. As of 4/4/17, my total miles are 275.2!

Kelp Help . . . . and other things.
I've developed a recent obsession with seaweed salad - the lovely, crunchy kind you get at the sushi restaurants. I live in a small town and I only get to enjoy this if I travel to another city about 30 miles away. I decided to try and make it myself if I could find the ingredients. I had other errands in the big today…

Lenten Observance - Fasting and Abstinence
Hi all! My husband and I had an indulgent Fat Tuesday at our favorite Mexican restaurant last night. Carne Asada, Fajitas and Coronas were greatly enjoyed! Today is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of a period of fasting, abstinence and mindful reflection in preparation for Easter. This year I am going to observe the…

If you're interested, please join!…

Motivation and Support
An MFP friend posted this on her newsfeed last week. It is spot on for motivation! Lost Your Motivation? My Standard Answer. Actually, you don’t need inspiration or motivation. You think you’ve “lost your motivation”. I assure you, you have not. Do you still want to be smaller, tighter, more defined and even muscular? Do…

Spiralizer Advice
I've been wanting to get one of the vegetable spiralizers to make veggie noodles. Prices I'm seeing range from around $10 up to $30. Is it worth the extra money to get the higher end model or is the $10 "As Seen on TV" veggetti, work just as well? (I can buy a lot of fresh produce for $20, but not worth it if it is…

So, I joined this group a couple weeks ago hoping to find ladies my age with similar goals and attitudes. That HAS happened with those of you…

Daily Check-in
Hi new challenge friends! I decided to create this daily discussion thread for a check-in because on the Introductions you can't tell if someone has updated or posted something new. I am on Day 3 of this challenge. I am doing a number of other challenges but none of them are specific to exercise (they're just mainly…
