Happy Saturday!
It's warm and sunny here today. We stayed out super late last night/this morning, and accidentally slept really late into the day. Yesterday was definitely another splurge day, but now it's back to normal until the wedding next Saturday. I'm trying to figure something out for Mother's Day, I was going to go see my mom the day of, but her work decided to do 2 "Friends & Family" events in a row, for two Sundays in a row, so now they're having the moms work til 10:00 p.m. on Mother's Day. They get worse and worse as a company every year.
I've drank 3 cups of water in the last hour, and finishing off by 18g protein bar, then off to the gym! I'm hoping with the normal week ahead of me I'll feel in tip-top shape for the weekend! Monthly bloat is coming on but that should be gone by then too.
Hope everyone has a successful day!

I will be shopping and doing laundry today.
Have a great weekend .
Connie enjoy your massage.
Beautiful day!!!

Can I trade you places? I hate laundry and I hate shopping but it is better than hanging out at the high school auditorium sewing ballet costumes.

Has anyone signed on for the "premium" version of MFP??0
-
what is the "premium" version"?0
-
I didn't know there was a premium version of MFP. I hope that doesn't mean they're going to charge for this one day, or cut down on our features.0
-
Ray/Steph...On the home page task bar, bottom line, last option to click is premium. It's enhanced features on this site..no ads and other stuff. The cost is 9.99 per month or 49.00 a year. When you click it on, it gives an explanation of features and gives you the opportunity to upgrade.0

Happy Sunday, Everyone!
Esther, GREAT job on nearly 50 lbs!! Woot!
Marie, I hope you're feeling better today. :-)
Shirley, SUPER news from the doctor and your grandson is so cute. LOVE chubby baby cheeks.
Ray, you plant seed potatoes that you've quartered in bales of straw that you have either conditioned to break down or that have been outside for a year. That prevents them from composting while the potatoes are trying to grow (which creates way too much heat to allow something to grow). This is our second year of having the raised bed surrounded by straw bales. So, I'll let you all know how it goes!
Well, yesterday was a blown day due to an early Mother's Day/Birthday celebration with our kids and grandbabies. It was a wine pairing and finger food theme. I only had one or two bites of each appetizer, but that with the wine was definitely not in the weight loss theme. LOL So, the scale was up today. Back on track today and I'll hope for some loss to report on this challenge! I'm at +3 for the month of April. Hrumph.
I'm not sure what to follow right now for eating. The LCHF keeps me very satisfied with low quantity of food, but the scale isn't moving downward. The green smoothies helped me lose a little weight, but my BF% went up and I felt hungry and lightheaded/shakey through the day. Just basic calorie counting at 1300 calories didn't move the scale too much either. Feeling a bit lost as to which direction to head...
I see my doctor for my yearly check up at the end of June and I REALLY want to be down at least another 10 lb, but I don't think that will happen in 6 weeks. :-(
For those of you who were in the 170s and lost weight at a decent rate, what worked for you? I'd love to hear!
Have a great day today!
