@TeresaW1020 Yeah, I made the menu based on the idea that I would be cooking it on the weekend so that's not necessarily easy, but I lucked out and most of it is easy. I love your new mantra!!!
@its_cleo All of my lunches are leftovers from the night before, so there's that. Unfortunately, I get sick of things really easily, so I can't have the same thing more than 2 meals in a row (dinner then lunch is about all I can do lol). I wish I had the room to make extra and freeze, but unfortunately, my freezer is pretty small. I hope to get a larger freezer someday when we move. Wow, -20 weather! Excellent work!
@theslightedgeforever the menu is already made and I cannot afford to waste the groceries I already bought. I'm just going to have to power through it and make do with what we have. I'll work it out. I'm using my instant pot tonight to make carnitas, that's easy.

Hello Ladies!!
@its_cleo, walking in that kind of weather must have kept you moving fast!! You are doing awesome!
@gettingmeback2013, It's always hardest to have control when we out of the normal routine. You want to have fun and relax when hubby is home but you also don't want to have him leave and go back on the road and you are stuck with a bunch of regrets. Is he supportive to your plan? That will make it so much easier for you.
@theslightedgeforever, I just Googled Mantra bands. Very cool!! That would be a lot cheaper and less painful than a tattoo!!
@trooworld, You are empowered so you will do great this week!!
Well, I lost 0.6 lbs this week. I, of course, wanted more but considering my Wednesday binge I'm pretty happy that I lost that much. This week will be much better! Afterall I have my new mantra!
I was super bummed this morning because my WW leader is moving away at the end of February. I LOVE this woman and hate to see her go. I'm hoping that I will like the new leader who is taking over. Our group promised to be open and give her a chance. There really is no other day that works as well as Tuesdays so I better like her!

@trooworld. It looks like you have your plan all figured out. That’s good.
@TeresaW1020 I saw the mantra bands on Instagram on someone’s profile. I hope you get a good inspiring leader. You still lost a bit of weight. You’re headed in the right direction. My scale is slow going this week despite having done well. I’m just concentrating on that one lb at the end of Day 30. My efforts will show up later.
Another day of staying within my boundaries. I had an exercise rest day with a 17 min walk. Journal done. Big sticker day.0 -
@TeresaW1020 I had to look on Etsy for Mantra bands after reading that too, very cool! I plan on getting "EMPOWERED" on one. 0.6 lbs is within WW's healthy range (.5 - 2 lbs), so you are good, congrats on the loss!
@theslightedgeforever We'll see. Congrats on a job well done yesterday.
Tracking done. Over in calories, but it's done.

Morning, I have been sick with a cold. I can't even try to catch up on all the personals. I hope you all have a great week. I am still fasting, had to break it a little due to me being under the weather, but still no sugar or PB.
Cbabie0 -
@cbabie, I am so sorry you are sick. Please take care of yourself. Good on you for continuing to stay away from sugar and PB.
@theslightedgeforever, the scale can be so stinking frustrating!! I made a 0 point turkey chili last night for dinner and had a great day with my eating. Yet the scale was still up a few tenths this morning. Do I blame the sodium? Probably! I told my husband I might do an experiment where I eat nothing but high sodium foods and see if I can shock my body into accepting them. He didn't think that was a good idea.
@trooworld, Tracking is the key!! I like the idea of you getting an Empowered mantra band. I saw like 6 that I really want.
I did an hour of exercise this morning and now I'm finishing lunch and will get up and begin cleaning my house. Our neighbor is getting a new roof so hubby took the dog over to doggy daycare for the day because she was losing her mind! Then my husband is having lunch with our pastor and has a ton of errands to run. So, I have the house all to myself for at least the next three hours!! Living with a retired husband means that I'm rarely at home at alone. And what do I want to do? Clean!!

Hi all, just checking in. I'm good.
Went to the gym yesterday and worked out with my trainer. My legs are so sore today I can barely move lol. It's not usually that bad but we did something different, and my body felt it!. One of the frustrating things for me at the gym is I can't breathe properly and it really affects what I can do. Like yesterday we were doing a type of squat and I couldn't breathe properly and had to stop. That was the first time ever I had to bail on move. My trainer is really good and I feel safe with him, he is like a brother, very sweet guy. But the breathing is a chronic problem. Need to start doing some deep breathing exercises or something.
@TeresaW1020 ah sometimes house work can feel good. A- everything is clean after, b- sometimes it is therapeutic to be energetic and clean as opposed to being a couch potato or something. I feel that sometimes when I do housework- the other times I would rather be a couch potato, ha.
@cbabie take care, hope you feel better soon.
@trooworld EMPOWERED sounds like a great idea for a Mantra bracelet. I think something like that would be super popular.
@theslightedgeforever you are really doing great with you tracking and exercising!0 -
@trooworld That would be a nice Mantra band. Great job on your tracking.
@cbabie. Sorry to hear you are sick. That’s great that you didn’t turn to sugar for comfort.
@TeresaW1020 Ha on the high sodium experiment. I can’t eat tuna on the day before a weigh in. It does something to me. I understand the cleaning while you are alone bit. Good job on your exercise
@its_cleo Sounds like you are working really hard at the gym. It’s nice to have a good trainer.
I stayed OP with food today and got in 72 min of exercise. Journal done. Big sticker day0 -
@cbabie I'm so sorry you have been sick with a cold. I hope you feel better soon. That is commendable that you have stayed off sugar and PB while you are sick, way to go!
@TeresaW1020 Yes, the more I do this journey, the more important I see tracking is.
LOL you are funny wanting to clean while you have the house to yourself!!! Enjoy! 
@its_cleo I'm sorry you were having breathing problems, that would definitely make it difficult to do squats or other exercises. I hope you find a solution. Yes, I can see EMPOWERED Mantra bracelets being popular, too!
@theslightedgeforever Thanks! Great job!
Hi all. I did something out of my comfort zone yesterday: I was talking to an acquaintance from another department at work, and she invited me to join her walking at lunch group, so instead of eating my lunch at break, I went for a 30-minute walk with these other ladies. We walked for 1.61 miles. I then ate my lunch while working afterward. In order to do this on a regular basis, I needed to ask my boss if I could take my lunch just 15-20 minutes earlier on the days that I wanted to do this. She was a bit of a micromanager about it but she said I could do it. It kind of made me mad that she was like that, I am a professional and a hard worker, I deserve some flexibility. I got over 10,000 steps yesterday which is just about unheard of for me. I'll definitely get a special sticker!1 -
Morning all, I am getting better, and was hungry yesterday. So that is good..LOL the great news is that my DH birthday was yesterday and I had bought an all chocolate cake, thinking the family would eat it while I was at church...no they waited until I got home...but I did not eat ONE BITE...still on the fast. Everyone loved it and said it was so moist...but I didn't give in.. the fast ends Sunday, so we will have to see what if any of my behavior still changes...LOL
@trooworld I had a boss like that..thank you Lord, I no longer work there. You are doing great!!!
@TeresaW1020 LOL, my DH is retired, but since I work really all but Fridays now, I enjoy him home. Sometimes he can be really annoying because things like , he put the coffee filter and the coffee in it and lays it on the top of my convection oven "waiting" for himself to be done with coffee ...takes the trash out every other minute..it's Like you want to say RELAX...you have the rest of your life with no time tables.. LOL
@its_cleo Sorry that you are having breathing issues when you work out. Did you ask your trainer what you could do to help you breathe better? I am glad you are enjoying the gym. I don't miss my trainer, he was creepy after a bit. He started sending me pictures of himself in text messages. I had to quit going to him.
@theslightedgeforever Good job on staying OP, you are remaining in your groove. That is really good!!!
Okay guys internet keeps going in and out, so I will post this when it comes back up. I don't want to keep typing and I lose everything. LOL PS I can't remember who asked, I think it was TrishasTime...it's my computer. I have an old laptop.

Hi everyone
Coming in from Melbourne where the current temp is 44 C (111.2 F). Activity limited due to restriction. I left my 100 day plan at work ( the one from @theslightedgeforever ) can someone please reattach the link here? So I can catch up
@trooworld, @TeresaW1020 ,
Many thanks0 -
@trooworld That’s great that you joined that walking group. Hopefully your manager will learn a healthier employee is a more productive employee. Yaaay on the 10000 steps and the sticker
@cbabie. I would have had me a 1/2 piece of that cake in the freezer for Monday. Lol. You did well. Your DH has to have something to fill his day. Wait til the new baby is walking around touching all the walls😂 ooh and the sliding door glass.
@TrishasTime Stay cool. I’ll go look for that link and post it for you.
Another day of staying in boundaries with my food but just barely. I had to cut the portion size down on my evening snack to get the numbers to work. I’ve been craving pizza and had two medium slices which was cut in half to make four. I ate them slowly and paused before each little piece. Exercise was 52 minutes. Journal done. Big sticker day1 -
-
@cbabie Wow, great job! I do not know if I would have the strength to resist such a cake! Thank you for the encouragement. I feel like I am on the upswing. Happy birthday to your hubby!
@theslightedgeforever Yes, I wanted to say: "If I lose weight, I'll miss less time and be happier overall, be more productive." But I didn't want to bust myself out like that lol. Great job with the pizza, you amaze me, girl!
Hello all. Well, I hate to say it, but I think (I am 89% sure) I am getting plantar fasciitis in my right foot. I've had it before so I know what it feels like. It can come on when you take on exercise too quickly which is what I am doing. No good deed goes unpunished. Sigh. I'm not giving up though when I get paid again, I'm going to go to a foot specialty store and get some inserts or something. I don't want to quit!
EMPOWERED.1 -
@trooworld, that's great about the walking group. Sorry about your manager though, that sucks. I used to manage people and I was always flexible about stuff like that. I found if you trust people they tend to respond and work more anyway.
@cbabie that sounds awful about your trainer. I feel like a lot of gyms have bad trainers, tbh and I feel bad for people that get sucked in. The place I go to is really expensive, but all of their trainers have excellent education, and are real professionals. I stick with it bc it helps me physically but it also helps me mentally. I don't spend a lot of money on other things, so it's kind of my treat.
The breathing, I don't know. I just need to relearn. I went through a lot of physical trauma in my early life and so that affects all kinds of things, one thing it has affected is my breathing patterns. Like when someone experiences trauma they breathe shallow, and it gets engrained if the trauma is prolonged or recurring. So physiologically sometimes my body reacts like it did before. I just have to practice and try to retrain myself. It's a pain in the butt lol. It is related to chronic anxiety, which I also have due to my past, but I've learned to manage it/deal with it for the most part. It's just nagging symptoms now, like the breathing, that I have to try to fix.
@TrishasTime yeah I heard about the heat, and about some poor animals dying. It sounds terrible.0 -
@trooworld Yes this is a branch on the road to health and you still need to get to your destination. Good idea for moving around this obstacle.
@gemwolf110 How are you dealing with the cold? I hate cold. Now that I’m getting older I think my body hates it more too. Lol.
@its_cleo people put money where their priorities are I always say. Good for you for making your health a priority. I always feel for the animals out in the extreme hot and cold
A good day for me with food. Stayed within my boundaries. It was an exercise rest day but still got in 34 min. I did my usual 15 in the morning but then got sucked into the last few minutes of a Fitbit challenge and was only 200-300 steps within the reach of others. So we battled it out. Good news is that I’m #1 on my friends list today. That usually never happens. Dh dropped to #2. I gloated. Now just realized he’s been sick for two days. 😂. Ah well the spoils of war. Journal done. It was about my favorite foods. I had a lot of them. Big sticker day0 -
@its_cleo Yes exactly! She's generally cool about things but can be a micromanager about some things.
@theslightedgeforever Thanks! You are an inspiration, you know that?
Hello all. My foot has been bothering me so I ordered these compression socks that are supposed to help with plantar fasciitis. We'll see if they help. I don't want to stop walking. I couldn't walk yesterday because of my work schedule, and due to my work schedule next week, I will have to miss a few days, but I will rejoin my group the following week. My hubby and I are going to a friend's house for dinner and Scrabble with her and her husband. I am making a fruit salad to bring. It's my favorite fruit salad recipe: it has a hint of honey and lime.
EMPOWERED.0 -
Good morning!
@trooworld, That is great that you want to walk on your lunch hour but what a bummer about your foot giving you issues. I've had chronic foot issues most of my life, so I agree that you should go to a good shoe store and see about insoles and maybe even the right pair of walking shoes. Hopefully, the compression socks will help. I LOVE a good fruit salad!
@its_cleo, it's good that you know what is causing your breathing issues and how you can manage it. Many people would give up on exercising and use their past experiences as the reason, but it sounds like you plan to push through and be an overcomer. Good for you!!
@cbabie, Wow that is awesome that you didn't have any of the chocolate cake. I really don't think I could be that strong but you are doing amazing! I think you can keep up your new behaviors if you choose to do so. It's all about choices, isn't it?
@TrishasTime, wow that is hot! You be careful! Do you all have a lot of humidity or is it a dry heat? Georiga, where I live, is all about the crazy humidity in the summer but I've lived in dry states too. Not sure which is better. Hot is hot!
@theslightedgeforever, hey you own that Fitbit win, even if it is because DH is sick. Yup, it's day 25 for me and the journal wanted me to write down my favorite foods. It would be easier to write down what I don't like.
So, it's day 25 of my 100-day challenge and this morning I'm feeling annoyed with myself because I know that I haven't been giving it my all. I'm maintaining nicely but I'm not really losing weight like I know I should be. I watched this incredible video earlier and the woman was talking about how we all have issues and how we have a choice if we are going to let our issues define us or are we going to do the work it takes to be free. She said that we have to be "willing to embrace the pain of recovery." That really struck me because there is pain in losing weight. We have to deny ourselves the chocolate cake, we have to learn to breathe, we have to find ways to walk while in pain, we have to continually fight obstacles that are always coming at us. It is hard and that is a fact. But what we do with the hard is what defines us. Today, I'm going to embrace the pain! 0 -
@trooworld That fruit salad sounds yummy. Plus Scrabble too. That sounds like a fun night.
@TeresaW1020 if all of us did what we were supposed to be doing all the time then everyone of us would be at goal. I keep saying just for today. I can do this just for today. I have been pushing the boundaries to the utmost limit this week. Bend but not break. I think embrace the pain would make a good mantra bracelet. My dd is headed to Georgia early morning. She’s going with her class for some robotic surgery training. I keep singing Georgia on my mind every time she mentions it. She says stop doing that. Lol. She’ll be in Atlanta for a couple of days. Is Georgia famous for peaches? I’ll have to look that up. I told her that and she says yummmm. Peach cobbler 🙄. I said nice healthy juicy peach the way God intended. I obviously wasn’t on my health journey when I raised her.
Stayed within food boundaries. Exercised for 43 min. Journal is done. Big sticker day.0 -
@TeresaW1020 I looked up reviews of the Good Feet store around here (I see commercials for them all time on tv) and I see bad reviews saying they just upsell you for $300 inserts, and you are better off getting custom inserts from your doctor. I think if the compression socks don't work, I'll go to my doctor first and ask them about the Good Feet store and see what he says. I don't want to get roped into $300 inserts if I can avoid it lol. The fruit salad was really good, as was the rest of the meal! re: that video you watched...there is definitely pain in losing weight. We have to face the pain of why we are holding onto our weight, what purpose does it serve us? Does it really serve us at this point? Embrace your pain, girl! You've got this!
@theslightedgeforever It was yummy. My friend made turkey burgers and baked fries and we had the fruit salad. It was good. We played Scrabble, I lost terribly, my husband's friend beat us all. It was a lot of fun.
Hi all. This week for meal prep, I'm doing something a little easier. One of the days, we have the option of having either a frozen dinner or sandwiches. That takes some of the pressure off us to cook so much. Here's our meal plan for this week:
Sichuan Braised Tofu with Beef (Mapo Tofu) + rice
Slow Cooker Chicken & Garlic Gravy + Mashed Cauliflower
Thai Curry Grilled Chicken + Thai Quinoa Salad
frozen dinner or sandwiches
Greek Quesadillas or Pita Pizzas (depending on how lazy I feel)
For breakfast, I'm making turkey sausage and having a bagel: Maple Blueberry Turkey Sausage Breakfast Patties0 -
@trooworld those sound like great recipes. Good luck with your feet, that sucks. Someone told me if you freeze a bottle of water and roll it over the bottom of your foot it can relieve pain...I guess that is pretty much the same as icing it.
Can you get inserts in the drugstore? They have them here off the shelf, obviously not as good as custom, but a lot cheaper.
@theslightedgeforever congrats on moving to #1! I think the competition makes it all a lot more fun.
@TeresaW1020 I totally agree about the pain of losing weight. I thought it was just me that felt that way. I don't feel that every day, but when I lost the first little bit where it was noticeable, it was painful for various reasons. I know sometimes I have used food to shove feelings down, and not pay attention to my body. A lot of times, when I am thinking about what to eat or what to do, I tell myself- listen to your body. What does it want? Fruit or fast food? usually fruit, just sometimes I don't listen lol.
I'm doing ok, this is the first weekend since new year's I made it without drinking/eating a lot. I went to the gym today and seem to be down a little bit. Honestly- I was shocked, I find every week I'm convinced I won't lose weight that I don't believe it. It seems kind of like a dream bc I never had any luck before. So definitely WW is helping.
Will try to walk later today but it is cold and it snowed last night, so the sidewalks are a bit rough. Will see how it goes.0 -
Hi All! Checking in, it's been about a week since I've been on. My husband works over the road and when he is home, I am so lazy in every aspect. LOL I have been making good choices but not weighing and watching like I should. I stayed the same weight this week, so at least no gain. He needs to get back out on that road so I can get back to normal!! hahaha!! It's so hard when he is here!0
-
@trooworld Your breakfast sounds yummy. I think it’s a good idea to lighten your cooking load.
@its_cleo I’m only competitive if there’s a chance I could win. If I’m too far back I’m like why bother. I’d rather be sitting and reading a book. Can you find a mall to walk in during the snowy days. Hospitals work too. The stairs are great there.
@gettingmeback2013 Maybe you could make a new normal for when he’s home. As they say just change one thing. Measure your food, track all your food, exercise 15 min a day. Post to the team. Choose one on those days and start building a habit. The great news is that you didn’t gain.
I went over my boundaries by 9 calories. 😡 9. I almost succumbed to the stinking thinking of well I’ve blown it so I might as well make it a party. But I didn’t as I really want that one lb loss on Day 30. Exercise was 44 minutes. Journal done and only a little sticker 😩0 -
Morning all..
Well I blew it last night. It was more of an emotional justifying eating binge. However, the good thing is that I know how yucky I feel this morning and I also created some good habits during the fast. I have gotten more of my family to like eating healthy. So I think I am going to be okay. I don't want to go back to feeling sluggish, out of breath, tight jeans..etc. My grandson is tracking all if food, on MFP...I laugh. I get a text..grandma what brand was that chicken..LOL
@theslightedgeforever you are doing great and good for you for not giving into the I blew it already!!!
@gettingmeback2013 Yea it's hard when your routine changes, you just need a routine for when he is home..you can do it!!!
@trooworld I love that you are giving yourself a day off...we all need one!! I am sure you will be able to get back to walking..it's good you know the signs and can catch it early.
@its_cleo congrats on the loss...it's good that when we don't believe what we are doing makes a difference and we are proven wrong..LOL
@TeresaW1020 You are so right about embrace the pain..I was talking to someone about how I got addicted to pain killers when I broke my knee and had to go through the withdrawals...it was no fun. The interesting part is most of my life I don't take medicine, I have always hated taking anything...even when I had my hysterectomy, I thew my pain killers away and moved furniture the 2nd day home...not a smart move, but that's me.. so it's a real pain when we are addicted to ANYTHING...we must face it, to overcome it and have complete victory...so thank you for saying that...
@TrishasTime I will take some of that heat...I am so sick of being COLD..LOL enjoy!!!
Gotta run gals..I am so glad you all share it encourages me even when I can't get on here to tell you!!
Cbabie0 -
@its_cleo Thanks! I made the tofu dish last night, it was really delicious. Thanks for the tip about the water bottle. Yes, I could get inserts at the drugstore, that's always an option, and I might try that before I go to the doctor. I did just get the compression socks I ordered, so we'll see how those work, I might just need those. Good luck with the walk, I hope you get to get out.
@gettingmeback2013 Hello! That's good you have been making good choices.
@theslightedgeforever Yes, I agree. It was getting overwhelming. I've been doing it for years with varying degrees of success. Good for you for not giving up.
Hello all. I have to go to the dentist today to get a deep cleaning done, not looking forward to that. I hope you have a better day than that.

GM everyone
I am back from holidays.. Thankyou @theslightedgeforever for sending me that link. much appreciated. I decided to restart the 100 days and have indeed created a blog. Some of you know that I have given up alcohol. On the way over to Melbourne, I was upgraded to business class with all the perks. When they offered me some sparkling wine, I accepted and l then took one sip. I have to tell you I have definitely lost the taste for it.
@trooworld - I too have that issue. My podiatrist recommended insoles at a hefty cost, my doctor recommended the orthotic insoles (link below is the one I bought, but you would have something similar in US). 1. It is much cheaper and you can see if it works without spending hundreds of dollars. 2. You can also change them from shoe to shoe as you need to. Me - I bought 3 pairs for my most common shoes. Once I knew that worked, I bought thongs for around the house with arch support. Since then I have had no pain at all. I have noticed you can get these in good athlete shoe stores as well Hope this helps

@TeresaW2010 - There is another saying that is close to the one you mentioned " Being big is pain, losing weight is pain - YOU CHOOSE your pain" Which I took as everything that you do there is a plus and minus side. You need to choose the one that you want the most.
@theslightedgeforever - I do miss the step challenge ever since I changed to apple watch. I am glad you are in the lead at the moment.
@cbabie - The heat is very hot - I went from Melbourne back to Perth and it was 100 here. The difference with Melbourne is it had very high humidity. For me - I can always get warmer, being big I feel the heat a lot
@its_cleo - I am glad WW is working for you. It takes a lot of time to get out of the old mindset and realise indeed it is actually working.
@gettingmeback2013 - Does your DH pop in every 5 minutes to annoy you when he is working over the road. Can you do some leslie Sansone video for 20 min at a time?
@gemwolf110 - The lasagne receipe looks great - have booked marked it for future reference
Hello @prisoner2food - Hope you are okay
Well today is Day 2 of 100 days - let the journey begin
Trish1 -
@cbabie. Good for you for getting your family to eat healthier
@trooworld I hope the compression stockings work for you. So you can get back to enjoying exercise.
@gemwolf110 That lasagna sounds good. I’ll have to try it
@TrishasTime Welcome back. You would think Apple would have a contest for steps somewhere as big of a company and well-known.
Stayed within food boundaries. Had two spoonfuls of my ds birthday dessert. Basically diabetes on a plate. 5 layers- brownie, Oreo, cheesecake , Oreo, chocolate chip cookie. 84 min exercise. Journal done big sticker day.0 -
Morning all, I tracked yesterday, but did not stay within my calories and ate a "small" sliver of birthday cake. Overall I feel good about it. Today we have lunch at a cafe close by the office, so most of my calories will be spent there. Pastor wants to take the staff out, so out it is. (it's a burger place) I keep hearing a scripture in my head that says despise not small beginnings. So I am NOT....
@gemwolf110 that recipe sounds great thank you for sharing
@TrishasTime It was so good to read your post and hear you give links and all the things to encourage each one here. Good for you with the alcohol. Is your blog for you only or do you post for others to read? I hate being cold, but yes we can always add clothes, we can't take enough off when it's hot and muggy!!!!
@trooworld isn't it great that we all share whats going on in our life and we find out that someone else had the same issues and can suggest something that might work for us? I love this group. I hope the socks work well for you!
@theslightedgeforever My internet keeps going in and out while I am typing this and I had to type your username all out...whew it's long..LOL Good for you on only spoonfuls...I think I like your birthday desert more than ours...it was all chocolate, but not a sweet chocolate..my GD is not a sweet person...(take that how you wish)...LOL
Okay gals a busy day ahead of me, but excited to keep on my healthy tracking and getting my health back in the right direction.
Cbabie0 -
@gemwolf110 Thanks for the recipe, it looks really good!
@TrishasTime welcome back! Thanks for the link, I found them on Amazon's website. I will order some!
@theslightedgeforever Thanks, me too. I put them on for the first time today, they feel pretty good. Wow, what a dessert plate!
@cbabie That's good you tracked. Yes, indeed! I hope so, too. I'm going to order some of those inserts though.
Hello all. Dental appointment was okay, I was really numb though and went to my acupuncture appointment afterward sounding like I had marbles in my mouth lol. I had to eat soft foods for dinner so what did I want? MACARONI AND CHEESE. I'm in pain, comfort me. Some things never change.
EMPOWERED.0 -
@its_cleo congrats on your loss!! You are so right that we have to listen to our bodies and NOT our emotions. WW or any plan is going to work if we work the plan. But it all starts with the mental.
@gemwolf110, thanks for the link to the lasagna recipe. I have added to my Pinterest board.
@gettingmeback2013, Maybe just try to start one good habit when hubby is home and get that one down and then begin another one.
@cbabie, I think that is great that your grandson is now tracking. You are creating a trickle effect of good health. Yeah, pastors never seem to pick a healthy place to eat, do they?
@TrishasTime, glad you had a good vacation, but you must be so tired of the heat. We are hearing about it over here on the news.
@Trooworld, When I'm in pain, I want comfort foods too. Glad everything went ok at the dentist. I liked your menu this week. You are always so exotic!
Well, ladies, I lost a whole .04 lbs this week!! Seriously I give turtles a bad name. I still have two more weigh in days for the 100-day challenge so we will see if I can make some headway there. I am giving up all night time snacking except for Tuesdays where I will split a bag of microwave popcorn with my hubby. I popcorn so much!! The rest of the week the kitchen is closed after dinner. I'm going to stick to that plan for all of next month and see if that will help. I'm also back to double tracking on MFP and WW. I'm hoping that with twice the work it will keep me more mindful. The motto of the day: Tweak it till you make it! 0
