What’s on your mind — how to make kugel? This week’s Torah reading? Life goals? Prayer? We are all engaged in weight loss/weight maintenance journeys and we are all Jewish or at least interested in Judaism. We like to eat, we like to discuss. It is our goal here to provide each other support on our journeys, to share experiences, to call on our rich cultural heritage and texts, and to help each other grow spiritually.
Some of us take weekly turns starting the thread:
Frieda
Holly
Lee
Louise
Lynne
Peachy
And for those of you that stop by to read this thread without posting — you are welcome to, but you are also welcome to chime in. Don’t be shy!

Good morning everyone! Today is my 61st birthday, and it’s also National Peach Ice Cream Day, which is funny to me, because my bff calls me Peach! For your enjoyment (and groans), here are a few birthday jokes:
What kind of music do birthday presents like?
Wrap!
What kind of music do birthday balloons hate?
Pop!
What do monsters serve at their birthday parties?
I scream cake!
What's the fanciest kind of birthday party you can throw for a dog?
A ball!
How can you tell if a birthday cake is sad?
It’s in tiers!
What did the pirate say on this 80th birthday party?
Aye-matey!
I’ve been celebrating for almost a week now. Last Tuesday, the kids sent me a box of 25 bite-sized cupcakes from Baked by Melissa. I highly recommend them! They were not only beautifully decorated, they were fresh, moist and absolutely scrumptious, and we polished them off in less than 24 hours. I did share them with DH and DS32, though I would have happily eaten every last one of them myself, they were so delicious. And I didn’t gain weight last week – I actually lost 1.4 pounds at my WI on Friday. Another early birthday gift!
Last Thursday, I finally went for a manicure and pedicure, which was a particularly wonderful treat, since I hadn’t had one since before my surgery in May. And on Friday, I used my gift certificate for a local spa (a gift from DD34 & DDIL last year) and had a 50-minute full-body massage. DH’s birthday is next month, so I talked him into having a massage as well, as an early birthday gift. It was his first time, and I think I’ve converted him. :+)
We had birthday cake at bffs’ house Friday night after Shabbat dinner, I’ve received cards and gifts from all my sisters, and I’m having dinner out with a friend tomorrow night and with another friend on Wednesday night. The best gift of all is the gift of time with family and friends, and I feel especially thankful to everyone this year, since people were so helpful and attentive after my surgery.
So I’m feeling happy and grateful, and my cup is overflowing. Who else has some fun, happy or enjoyable things happening in your lives?
