Good morning. I'm loving the warmer weather because my group is out almost everyday for a walk and one of the snowbirds is back with us Today is weights, walking and day 23 ofYWA It will be nice enough to do the practice on my deck. As far as food goes, raw is the word. A smoothie with walnuts and blueberries for breakfast, lunch will be a tropical salad with coconut dressing and dinner will be an Italian themed salad.

I will take a look, thank you! I thought about it last night because I was tossing and turning long after hubby started snoring. But I had already turned my computer off. Any specific videos you would recommend?THNX and yoga for bedtime is a thing and helps me fall asleep when I'm stressed

What do you put in your smoothie? Blueberries are BOGO this week, so I bought some...smoothies sound great. I Usually do fresh squeezed OJ, strawberries, and blueberries, but I'm open to suggestions. Have you ever done mandarin oranges? And can you just put in the whole peeled orange? I have always just done juice, but I have a bunch of mandarins I need to use up....Good morning.

Any of the ones by either yoga with Adrienne or by Psyche Truth are worth checking out. I did project OM when it live streamed (Adrienne) and felt like I could go right to sleep. I'd avoid Boho Beautiful, I find her.......... Of course your mileage and sleep may vary. Your best bet is to try a few and see which ones you like. Also remember when doing yoga it isn't getting into the pose it's easing into it and the journey that counts. Good luck and I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight
Today I'm putting in blueberries, a few soaked walnuts and spinach. I never put juice into my smoothies because i want all the fiber I can get because it helps to keep you full longer. I like a mandarin orange and 1/2 a banana with a tablespoon of unsweetened coconut. So yup just just drop the orange segments in. I also will freeze fruit for my smoothies to make them thicker, nothing like a "milkshake" sans milk
@Songbird76 You cab peel the oranges and freeze them so they don't go bad and use them in smoothies later. Almost every type of fruit works for that. That way you never have to waste fruit

Do you freeze bananas? I was wondering what you did with the other half of the banana.

I had no idea your father passed away. I am sorry for your loss. You just went back home last summer, too.

It's open ended. I was doing a lot of stress eating for the past 2 years, due to my husband's job and moves from said jobs. Ugh. Never again.

I was just down there this week (got home last night). Tangierine Cafe is definitely one of the best QS on all of Disney's properties.
It was hot this week and I actually enjoyed the Flower & Garden food stands in World Showcase. When I'm hot, I don't eat a lot, and I found the small plates were a better option for me for some of my meals, if I was at EPCOT that day. Morocco had a really tasty sausage that they served on a finger roll. My other favorite was the spring rolls over in China. I don't know what's in the dipping sauce, but it was delicious!
Oh, congrats on the weight loss!!
Aw! We just about crossed paths.
I didn't get to sample the foods from the booths at Epcot! My friend is way too obsessed with MK and thus we spent most of our time there.
I was there a week before you and the week started out not so bad--day time temps in the mid 80s. It was almost chilly at night. Then Wednesday, the heat came. I am usually not bothered by the heat. But I was playing mini golf at Fantasia Gardens and I just felt awful. I walked to the Swan and got an uber back to the hotel. I just stayed in the rest of the evening.

If you go to You Tube, try searching "yin yoga." My husband swears by it for getting to sleep and staying asleep.
I struggle falling asleep, too. It's the worst. It's like my brain never gets calm.

She makes me roll my eyes SO HARD. I feel like she has the carefully-cultivated life for instagram photos. All the pouty poses at the camera and the carelessly tousled hair that probably took a ton of hair product to get it to look like that. My favorite is the plow pose in very brief booty shorts. LOL

Hello-
I started my second week of the this 8 week program I bought a zillion years ago and never completed (FB Fit). This week seems like a lot of strength training and I am not burning a ton of calories. But I peeked ahead to next week and it looks like it takes off then. I think the first 2 weeks ease you in. I just like not worrying about what to do everyday.
My husband left for DC Sunday and is there until Thursday. I've just been kind of throwing stuff together for dinner at night. It's a pain in the butt cooking for one! Tonight, I thinly sliced some Yukon Golds and lined a springform pan with half of them. I sprinkled some allspice and thyme over them and covered them in tomatoes and Kalamata olives. Then I did another layer, drizzled some olive oil over the whole thing and baked it. It was OK. I'll probably eat again tomorrow because I am so lazy.

Oh...did I not tell you guys? I know I told the chit chat group, but it was so out of the blue and I had 24 hours to get flights, get the kids excused from school, pack, get everything I needed together and go, so I might have forgotten. Sorry! We got the call in the middle of the night and had to wait until morning to talk to the school and our employers, etc. It was a bit of a whirlwind...and then to get stuck there waiting. But I'm glad I DID go home last summer, because at least now I don't have that regret of not taking the time to visit him. But, no, I wasn't expecting to have to go back again so soon. The real kicker is that he had just turned 84 the week before and I had just said how he had had a nice long life and I couldn't complain if he was taken now...less than 24 hours after I said that, he was gone. With my mom, she had been fighting cancer for 2 years, and she got really bad and we were able to be with her...we were expecting it. With my dad, he called me on the Monday...he called every couple of days to say hi. So he called, said he wasn't feeling great and he was going to try to get an appointment with the doctor. Then he called back to say he had gotten the appointment. I told him to let me know what the doctor said and I loved him. Then instead of him calling the next day to tell me how it went at the doctor, we got the call that he had passed. The doctor had seen him and told him he was fine and sent him back to his friend's house where he was staying because they were expecting a storm and dad lived in the middle of nowhere. So it was completely unexpected and the doctor must have missed something.

That's exactly it...my brain just won't shut down for the night. I think about things that happened during the day, or something that's happening the next day, or worrying about something going on with one of the kids...usually with my son. And it just races and won't slow down!
I keep a bag of banana halves in my freezer for smoothies and there is also a bag or 2 of a dozen bananas for banana bread. Peel bananas before freezing
Good morning 7 miles done and I'm going group walking as soon as the bus leaves. I just realized I still have more vac sealed blueberries than I thought in my chest freezer so guess what I'm having for breakfast. You guesses it a banana blueberry smoothie with flax seed and kale Lunch will be an Orientalish salad with mandarin orange(I have half in the fridge that needs to get eaten) and dinner will be a tropical salad with a bit of leftover pineapple and a dressing with coconut oil instead of evoo
