Good morning Menuers. Boy is it cold this morning. I thought yesterday was cold, but nope today is worse. I can't wait until Spring.

Finished making my second batch of Kimchi. I swear this stuff helps balance my gut when I take it regularly. I only eat a couple of spoons of it before bedtime and the next day never feel bloated if I happen to eat something I shouldn't have.

Other than that not much going on. We have a corporate safety performance audit going on this week and next Tuesday we have a scheduled waterwash for the other boiler at work and then the rest of the month should be quiet at work. I do have to look through my seed catalogs to see what I want to order for this year.

QOTD: Who here does arts and craft things? When I have time I will knit/crochet or embroider just for fun, but recently I started one of those diamond painting things. It is a picture of a beehive. I can believe how easy it is. I started it a week ago and I'm about half done with it.

B: 2 eggs with spinach and cheese

L: 1 cup seafood salad with small toss salad

D: 1 pork chop with brussel sprouts

S: celery and cucumbers

30 minutes on the treadmill

Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

Funny you say I'm a youngster. I had some auditors come into from FM Global to do an audit of our boilers and turbine. While waiting for the plant manager we were chatting about the weather, and I mentioned that living in this area for 50 years I still don't like the cold. One of the guys looked at me and said there is no way you are 50. I said yup just turned it on the 28th. He said WOW I would have said you were maybe 40. Well, thank you very much sir I wish I was 40. LOL.

So glad all went well with the colonoscopy and I hope you're resting today.

Happy belated birthday.

If you have a tub to soak in and some Epsom salt I highly recommend taking a bath as hot as you can tolerate it and add a good cup of Epsom salt. You would be surprised how much it helps with muscle pain.

Good Morning Jen and Menuers,

Thanks so much for starting us off with a positive vibes and motivation. I appreciate you taking the reins and digging in. If you need someone to step up on a one-off occasion let me know. I will be a little later than you but very happy to help out.

Just got back from my colonoscopy and just like I thought, and you all already knew. I am a perfect ********ee me again in 5 years, The prep sucks but it looks great on the scale. I went from 167.4 to 163.2 in 24 hours. I wi**** was real life. As I try to keep on track, I am reading articles to keep me motivated. This one I found helpful. If you are not following this, you probably need too. I know going back to basics is the only way to recover from regain.

QOTD: I plan on getting to Cosa Rica and I am hoping I am motivated enough to run the 5K I do on the 4th of July. As soon as weather breaks I want to start training. I would like to medal since I am moving up an age class.

Accountability: I was on a clear liquid diet with no room to cheat.

TSS: 7 years 0-months 27-days 163.2 Lowest (129.4)
