    I really want to get to the gym today. Due to family issues, haven't had a good workout in two weeks.

    Stinko. I at least did my exercise. The rest did not go well. I feel like I have lost my mojo. No downward scale movement in more than a month. My cravings, which go unfulfilled 90% of the time lurk in the back of my mind like a stalker camped out in front of his obsession's house. No, I can't justify a 500 calorie milkshake, or a Big Mac, or any of the other high calorie treats that tantalize me. As hard as I have tried the crunch of celery really doesn't compare to the crunch of chips, does it? This morning I am disgruntled. I will have to snap out of it and carry on but, really, today, if I can manage to not slap anyone that will be good. Any other accomplishment will be gravy. Thanks for asking!

    I am with you sister! Feeling very down and disgruntled (great word). Sometimes I just want to quit and eat horribly. How much celery can a person eat? But you are right, I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and remember how good the end game feels. We can do this.

    Well, I am in this group, too. I do like my workouts and running, but getting in a funk over the lack of weight loss lately. I know that a lot of it is my fault because I've lost a little mojo lately. Need to turn it around and get back to being in the groove!!

    Seems like the funk is upon us and not a good kind of funk, either! I don't know why but August always brings me down some. Thanks, Farback, for posting a timely yet rather disgusting picture. If that blob of fluffy fat doesn't get us to straighten up and fly right I don't know what wll!

    Sorry Been Mia for a few days. But I'm back today. When I was reading your reply Nikki. I totally can relate to how u feel. It's like we are constantly swimming against the tide. But we dust ourselves off & get back up every time we fall. As farback says " eyes on the prize"
    One if the nicest things about our group is that when one of us falls. Someone will reach out with the right words to help us keep going.. As long as we have each other's support . We will keep going. It's good to have an off day. It makes us appreciate the bad.
    Hope today is a good day xx

    My aim today is to drink my water. I struggle with that.
    Have a great day everyone

    My goal is to drink my water. It is really hot here this week so it is for more than dietary reasons that I should do so. Also I want to come in under goal today. That would suffice for today.

    Had some higher sodium foods yesterday. Will be drinking extra water today for sure. And want to catch up on office stuff.

    Got totally derailed yesterday. Today I just want to keep my sodium low, my water high and not go over goal. I do that much I will be happy.

    I'm on vacation for a week with no access to a weight room. I've started running 5K every morning, and am finding it quite tolerable. I'm not a big fan of it, but with three days in a row under my belt, I might make it a regular thing. I had been mostly doing interval sets on my cardio days. I lift every third day now since I need two recovery days as I am older than dirt.

    We're vacationing on Prince Edward Island, which is known for its bright red soil. Here's the dust demarcation line after my morning run. jeqfym1qnxcj.jpg

    I spent some time in 'bama back when I worked for Michelin. I worked for Agee days at the Dothan plant, and then spent several days around Pensacola Beach in northern FLA on a digital x-ray tech course. I used to travel to SC four times a year
