Well gang. I am posting earlier than normal. I am killing time at the airport. I got a call yesterday midday that my brace was ready for pick up. I got an appointment for this afternoon. Thank god for airline miles. So I get to play around in Seattle for a couple days. I will be back home tomorrow night.
Rosie.......I really like the think before you bite. I will think the Dairy Queen hot fudge milkshake is absolutely delicious before I eat it. Sadly I am leaving room on my calorie count for that.
My flight gets in at noon and my appointment is at 2. But if I get there earlier even better. The place is pretty low key today they said.
I wish I was taking the ferry like I did the last time. But the ferry I needed left on Wednesday and they called on Thursday. I wanted to go next Friday but their office is closed for the fourth. Sucks to be me. Now I have to fly with an allergy head. Not looking forward to that. But oh well..........suck it up buttercup.

Esther, we live two hours drive and a ferry ride west of Seattle so for my husband to see the doctor there is an all day adventure----not as big as your adventure---and when we have to make the trip we remind ourselves that it is the price we pay to live in Paradise...sorry you have to fly instead of the ferry---flying always seems so frantic and crowded. everyone who is still posting is a winner....not giving up is part of the journey.

Good Afternoon Misfits,
I made it home about noon today. It is great to be home and not around too much food everyday.
Had a great visit with family.
Decided to cut grass while Ben did the other weed eating, edging and blowing off everything.
I really got a workout as it it so hot!!! Made me feel good to burn some calories as I didn't get in my exercise
last week.
Missed y'all so much and looking forward catching up on what has been going with everyone.

No way Becky we had no intentions of leaving you out. How is your garden doing?
Marie
We are harvesting beets and the beet tops (yummy steamed!), cabbage, cauliflower, lettuces, tomatoes, and green peppers! Okra and cucumbers are blooming and producing tiny veggies, sweet and 10 varieties of white potatoes are starting to bloom, carrots are growing strong, and our rainbow Swiss chard are almost ready to pick and steam. YUM! The grapes are doing GREAT and we should have a bumper crop this year.
I leave for vacation for a week on Sunday to NC to visit my mom (80) and four older siblings and their families. First time we've all been together since dad died two years ago. It will be nice.
When I return, I begin with the personal trainer and metabolic coaching. Very exciting times!

I'm good. It was a flight see to misty fjords. Pilot and 8 passengers. I have no idea why they were flying in that weather yesterday. It was nasty. It was a DeHaviland Otter.0 -
Becky please let us know how this works out. "When I return, I begin with the personal trainer and metabolic coaching. Very exciting times!"
Just got home from dropping DD and DH at the airport for their trip to Chicago to look at colleges. Our DS's took the ride with me to see them off. Made me feel good since they could have stayed home at ages 18 & 15, but both wanted to come along. Guess I'm raising nice young men
I walked this morning and took the boys for their annual eye check up. All went fine. Then to the post office to mail a letter to my niece that is teaching in Thiland. It was only a $1.20 to go that far around the world! Drank extra water today because it's so hot here in So Cal.
Time for bed. Nighty nite all

Rosie, I definitely will keep the group posted on how it goes. I am really excited to get started with having me be accountable to my trainers. The fact that I will be working out with them 3 days every week and they will be taking all my measurements and pictures every 21 days, means I will need to stay on target every day. I signed up for a full year (it was much less expensive, too) as I want to give myself an entire year to get completely reset with my metabolism and develop strong lean muscles and the work ethic to keep at it no matter what.
I hope your son finds the right school. I loved those times of looking at colleges with our three kids! And yes, it sounds as though you are raising very nice young men. Great job, Mom! :-)

I think it might be a thread that you bookmarked.....if you go to that thread when you see it on your list, you can go to the yellow bookmark star at the top and click it and the yellow will go away and you won't be notified anymore about it.

Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Saturday!
My, my you guys have been busy!
Marie.. What's your new plan? I hope you will have at least 30-40% protein. That's a challenge for vegan. If vegetarian, you may still do eggs and Greek yogurt, I think.
It's cloudy here and is supposed to rain. That's good because we need it.
The dog has been walked, and I think I will go back to bed.
Make it a great day!

Connie the book is called 22 day Revolution it has 80 carbs, 10 % fat and 10% protein. I am going to try to follow it for 3 weeks and see how I feel will be takin my blood pressure and blood sugar real often, I know that is a lot of carbs and low protein but maybe that is what I need to get these pounds rolling off. And get more energy. I got my dairy set at those figures already. Marie 0

Good morning! I am cautiously happy to announce that my husband and I are almost officially in a large amount of debt! Haha. After a couple days of back and forth counter offers, we have come to a signed acceptance on a house!!! I hope this is the right choice and that all works out well and that we will be very happy with our decision and purchase.
Make it a good day, ladies! 0 -
rayw89 Happy happy for you rachel0

Thank you! Yes @Eninad there are 3 bedrooms, one will be my husband's office, and the other is going to be our gym.
I'll pull my treadmill out of storage and get it all oiled up and ready to run.:) My husband is going to mount a TV in there and put his weights in there too. Yay! The windows are very tall in this house which is nice, lets in a lot of light, and the window in the gym faces out on the back yard with no visible neighbors, so it will be quite nice. 0 -
Rachel, So happy that everything came together and you got your new home!!! I know you will enjoy
it so much and it will keep you busy for awhile.
I have had a lot of things to do today after being away for a week. Nice to be home.
Marie, Be careful with the new plan. Beware of that amount of carbs getting your blood glucose out of wack!!!
Connie, How are you doing with your plan? Hope you are doing well.
Hope all of the other misfits are doing well.

Home again, home again, jiggity jig
For some reason 91 degrees just doesn't set well with me. I was suffering from mild heatstroke today in Seattle. And it wasn't from dehydration. I made sure of that.

hi everyone and happy sunday!!
I am so tired but it is actually beautiful here so I am trying to motivate for a good long power walk. we have been eating out so much since the kids are gone, I am ready to eat home:) I haven't even gone grocery shopping. this week I will be gone most of the time so after the holiday, we will start eating home again. good news is my weight has stayed the same although I would like to start dropping again. I think I will have lost a total of 3lbs this challenge as I keep going up and down the same 2lbs. frustrating!
connie, I checked out the Scooby's site and I think I should be on track for about a lb a week. I just think it is so hard to judge how strenuous your exercise is. what might be difficult for one, may not be for another.....
Rachel, great news about a house!! so excited for you! you need to post some pics.
marie, I agree with connie that you need more than 10% protein. I thin the recommended guideline is 25% but if you exercise a lot, it should be more.
nancy, hope all is well
ester, welcome back:) I agree 91 is hot. we are going to south beach next week so I m sure it will be warm there. it has been cool here so far so I might welcome the warmth for a couple of days!!
Enidad, nice to see you.
have a great day!!

Good morning, losers! Happy Sunday! Esther..welcome back! Ray..contgrats on the house! Nancy..I am plodding along on my diet break. I will continue it for another month or so then cut. You would think I would be happy with more food, but it's a struggle to keep it healthy. Steph..good to see you. I cut my exercise down to 4 days a week. My body was just too tired even with the increase in food. Becky, Barbie, Rosie, Enidad..hope all is well with you guys. Marie..Nancy is right...careful with the carbs. It's all about balance...remember 1:1:1.
Well, the last week on the challenge is here. I will create a thread to post your loss beginning June 30. Many thanks to Rachel for crunching the numbers. There are only a few folks left on it, and looks like they had great success!
Make it a great day!
Stay strong!

Good Sunday Morning, Ladies!
We finally had a bit of rain yesterday and a cool front move in over night which cut the humidity finally. Today's high is only 81 (we have been in the upper 90s for weeks).
I am logging faithfully and have increased my cardio again along with weights. For April and May I did mainly weight lifting but did not see any scale movement so I am now riding my bike through the streets and swimming at the neighborhood pool in addition to weights.
I have seen some scale movement but will wait to make it official on Tuesday's weigh in.
Esther, do you swim indoors or outdoors? Chlorine or salt water? I have access to an outdoor pool until early August and would like to continue swimming after that but we don't have a good selection of indoor pools.
Wish the neighborhood pool would stay open through September....it will be plenty hot....sigh
Make it a good day!
