Healthier Living Thread Part V

Updated:   Published

Part IV

This is the thread where members come to share their journey to wellness and wholeness.

It's a holistic thread, talking about all apects of health, not just diet and exercise, but the mind and spirit as well. All posters are welcome (not just Premium Members) and encouraged on a periodic basis to share what you're doing, what you need to do and how you're going to do it, and what you know!

Specializes in Happily semi-retired; excited for the whole whammy.

I hope it is okay to post this here. I was going to make it a separate thread, but it seems to fit well here.

A friend of me told me about the greatest site. It is called Spark People. It is completely free but you do have to register and they ask you if they can send all kinds of information to your email, so you have to be sure not to check any boxes if you don't want that. They don't ask you for your address or phone number, or even your real name. They do ask you if you've been recommended by a member. If you'd like to mention me, please send me a pm and I will let you know my username there. If you don't want to do that, though, you can just check off "from a friend" where it asks you how you found the site.

I encourage you to check this site out. It has all kinds of information and tools for people interested in living a healthier lifestyle.

Zoe,

Honey, I didn't understand the video bit? Were you asking Tweety if he looked like the collapsed bird after going to the gym? I'm kinda slow on the understanding side of things typically please see the below icons of my husband and I. I really do live this way :confused:.

Just checkin in really quickly.

Well, I've got to get this slope cleared of the "fox-tail" weeds. My littlest man is grieving for the dog he does not yet have. And before I can get to the backyard, I have got to get the front flower bed weeded trimmed etc.

Man on man!! Sooo, not too much exercising to be done this week. Started on the front yard today. I was very grateful to My God, as He allowed my hard work from last spring to remain. The weeding doesn't look like it's going to be as difficult as last year. The ground is nice and soft. Most of the weeds require some use of the tools but it isn't nearly like last year's experience. This year our star jasmine smelled wonderful. We grew 2 daffodil blossoms and our foxglove blossom is soo top heavy it is falling over. I am very blessed indeed. :wink2: Since tomorrow is payday for my husband, I will go to Home Depot and pick-up short trellises for 2 of my rose bushes. I think these 2 bushes are more of the vine type of roses. They don't have the same thick stems as some of my other roses.

Did I mention that I finally made peace with my rose bushes? :p I've tried to intentionally kill the darn things multiple times but they kept having babies or just plain old growing back. I have waged war on my rose bushes and lost :banghead:. Even the baby-sitters have laughed :lol2: at me over the last 2-3 years, seriously. Oh well, if I can't beatem :sasq:, or kill-em :smokin:, or up-rootem , or poison them correctly :stone, or . . . oh, heck I don't remember everything I tried, then I'll just take care of them:flwrhrts:. :mad:

Ahhh, well, thanks for listening to my gardening dialogue. I appreciate it.

Gentle
