    Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Saturday and 4th of July!

    I hope everyone has a safe and fun day today wherever you are. I really want a grilled sausage link or hotdog, but I am too lazy to fool with the grill for only 2 people, so I guess we will eat our regular boring food. :#

    Make it a great day, losers. Enjoy your special treats!

    Happy 4th everyone <3. It is going to be another hot day here :( We are heading out to visit friends and have a bbq tonight. They are smoking a turkey so I am hopeful I keep with the program and don't eat myself silly this weekend. I am really not looking forward to102 degrees today and tomorrow!! We are usually only in the70's this time of the year. On the other hand, I completely lose any interest in food when it is hot....

    So glad Jerry made it home safe and found his remote Marie. I laughed. I keep losing my keys and get so frustrated with myself :/ I think I just need to slow down sometimes. Yay for losing 3pounds too!!

    Rachel, that is really good news on the house. Esther, those pies sound delicious B) You two and Enidad were rock stars on the weight loss this round <3

    So far so good on maintaining. I keep slowly scooting up the calories each week. Next week I will be over 1300 calories a day! That is a lot of calories for me. I couldn't imagine trying to eat 2500 calories a day! I am with you guys on the need to get started on the strength training stuff..... I promise myself then tomorrow never seems to come for me either. I have been trying to work on stretching more too. Uugh

    Everyone did GREAT this round. I think new goals for labor day is a terrific idea, Marie.

    Have a safe and wonderful day!!

    Happy 4th Misfits, we got a new charcoal grill yesterday, and my husband is smoking a boston butt, its been cooking all day. I made a big salad and pasta salad earlier, to eat with it.Also, I am getting ready to make some deviled eggs, my daughter and grandson are coming over later to eat and watch fireworks. Its not real sunny and kind of gloomy here, so I didnt get in my pool, its actually cold, where its been cooler at night. I ran around earlier and went shopping, while my husband worked on his 69 Camaro, we bought in May. We used to have one that we took to rod runs and car shows, but we sold it in 2004. My husband also raced it on the track. Long story short , he wanted another one, but this one is a big and costly project. Maybe its good I didnt find any clothes I wanted to buy, Ha! Ha! I did try on a cute black skirt, I grabbed a large and an ex-large, I tried on the large first and it fit, but it needed to be hemmed, way to long, plus I thought I have bought enough clothes at this size. After this weekend I am going to cut down on my calories. I still have a good 30 pounds I need to lose. I ran into a friend of mine yesterday ,who had lost alot of weight, the last time I seen her, that has put most of it back on. I was sure glad that wasnt me, but it can happen easily, to anyone. So it was a wake up call, for me. Enough about me, just wanted to drop in. Have a safe night. Janice

    Here in Ketchikan our helicopter company flies the flag to start the parade. Unless it is crappy weather. The flag is only 50 foot tall. For us it is tradition but for visitors it is a real treat. Even for us locals it is still an awesome sight.

    Well I got my 10000 steps in today. Between walking around downtown before the parade and helping tear down a paintball booth I easily passed my 10000 steps. I even took my kids to see inside out in 3d after the booth tear down and before the fireworks. But our fireworks show doesn't start until 11pm anyway so we had plenty of time for movie and showers so after fireworks we can come home and get to bed.

    It has been a very fun fourth.

    Hi Marie. We just got done watching fireworks. Kids are hungry. And what sucks is the only place open is McDonald's. Yuck.

    To answer your question sun comes up about 4 ish and sets around 930-10 ish. So we have nice long days to get lots accomplished

    Morning,

    The Wi Fi is sketchy here so I will try and type something this morning. I read all your posts and am
    trying to keep up while away. We are staying here for one more night and then heading off to another
    port. I have kept up my walking, I did over 2 hours of walking each day while here. My feet feel it.
    I did get another Fit Bit badge for going over 20,000 steps.

    Our 4th of July celebration was fun and we had good food and all the Americans got together and sang
    God Bless America and the Canadians got together and sang "O Canada." The signature drink was
    Long Island Ice tea.

    I did not complete the 4th of July challenge but I am keeping track of my weight on paper at home
    so it doesn't get out of hand. We will be boating until Friday of this week and then head home.
    My daughter is coming with the baby so i will definitely be home to see him.

    Have a good day,

    Shirley

    Oh Isaac is going to grandma House. how thrilling. Shirley thank you for keeping a update on your vacation. I found some apple slaw recipes on the internet and I think I have everything on hand to make it for dinner tonight. along with some green beans, Carrots and pinto beans.[ my favorite bean] will put some chili seasoning in the beans

    My Scales are way off base this morning. really. it is say some outlandish reading like 974 pounds Maybe it needs a new battery. But think I will just leave it alone for the time being.
    My plans today make the bean burger for lunch and a salad. Breakfast was oatmeal and a banana about a 1/4 cups of blueberries. I di not think I would like a banana in my hot oatmeal but it was pretty good.

    Hope all of you misfits have a wonderful day and thank you all for making this such a nice place to visit everyday
    Marie

    There you are I was wonder about you. Sounds like you really had a busy day. Now I know it is Sunday because you said so. I am enjoying my vegan plan more and more., getting used to it pretty well but those lbs are not falling off fast enough for me. But then again they never did as I get older.

    Marie I like this
