    I don't think going over on your macros is so bad as long as you have a good balance for the week. I think MFP low balls the protein "goal" too.

    Oh, and I'm jealous about your semi-retirement! It sounds so good!!! Enjoy!

    Well...............here I sit eating a salad at my desk on my last day working until the end of August! Woohoo! I'll bet you thought, the way my post began, that this was going to be a sad story! LOL NOOOOOO WAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! Vacation here we come! What this will be will be a true test of how good I can be with food choices, tracking and checking in when I'm not living such a structured life!. I'm going to be all over the place but hopefullly will have internet access most of the time so you'll see me around. Won't have access to eliptical or scales most of the time so that should be interesting! Should be hiking and walking alot so should get my exercise in but wondering what my weight is doing is going to be difficult. Hopefully it'll be a nice surprise when I get home! I don't leave on my first adventure until tomorrow night so I'll be in here a few more times. I'm just about done cleaning off my desk so the vacation is starting in my head! I just felt like sharing! Hope everyone is having a good day.

    Hi Ladies,

    I am back from my 13 days in Germany and Amsterdam. What can I say, it was tiring but fun.
    Now doing lots of laundry today and hope to be back with you all as soon I catch up again.
