    Thank you all...so far the weighing in isn't bothering me...but it's a lil scary getting there every morning...
    Today I had a good walk with a friend that walks very fast. We use to walk together many years ago so it's good to pick it back up. I swear I just about jog to keep up with her. I'm not that slow a walker either; hubby asks me to slow down when I walk with him. So...I let my friend do all the talking so I can save my breath the breathe haha. 8 miles today. We're meeting up again tomorrow :)
    Tonite, we had eggplant parmesan and a spinach and hot bacon dressing. I had some mango for dessert.
    Challenge today: started getting hungry at 2:30. I don't get hungry when I stay upstairs but if I'm by the kitchen it's super tough.

    Wow! 8 miles is amazing - that's way more than I do in a whole day... I only do 2 3km walks outside (I walk the dogs in the morning and then I walk Darcy at night!). Plus the treadmill desk while I'm on calls/meetings.

    You weight is dropping nice and steadily... Great stuff!

    I listen to audio books and podcasts when I'm walking by myself. Makes the time fly (and also motivates me to get out there...)

    You should walk your fiancé!!

    Thank you all...one day at a time...Yes, I love walking alone also with no electronics also because then I can easily figure out dilemmas I'm faced with. Also, when I do want music... my son loaded my music with techno music ( a lot of beat) that really makes me step it up.
    Today, I made a big pot of 'pot pie' filling. Thought it would be simple but I used all fresh veggies so there was a lot of prep work. But...it turned out really good so I guess it was worth it in yum factor. I just used puff pastry for the crust. So I had a potpie, small salad, a corn muffin and a klondike bar for dessert >:) Was hungry again today and not so coincidentally, I lacked big time in the drinking dept because of a lot of running around. Tomorrow I'll be out with my daughter all day soooo we'll see where that leads us. Hope everyone had a great day.

    Oh that looks so very yummy - I might have to try making something along those lines but vegetarian... Too lazy to make a crust too - could just have it on rice or salad or something...

    @katjustkat oh a homemade pot pie, that sounds and looks delicious.

    I nearly always run with music, and I've got it loaded with about half techno/EDM music (love the beats) and the other half with my favorite hits from the 70's and 80's.
    When I run early Sunday mornings I go without the headphones for an hour or so too. It's so peaceful and relaxing to listen to nature before the day begins and those sounds get drowned out.

    Sarah...you know the frozen puff pastry is really good and all you gotta do is lay it on top of something and bake. You def don't the chicken in the 'chicken' pot pie. haha
    Thanks everyone! Brenda and Jim ...yep I love the 70's and 80's also and I really like Adelle also. My son also put stuff like the Rocky theme song on my ipod...haha it def helps. Jim...I'll ask him about the techno he put on...it's really good...I think he has a couple Swedish groups or something along those lines...but really good to keep you moving...Cool that you like that too.
    So yesterday I fell off...I shared chick fillet meal with my daughter and then we stopped at jason's deli and shared a really big potato (at least half remained) and we each had a salad bar. Then out again today and we shared a tuna sandwich then I came home and made dinner.
    I may not check in till after the 10th because I'm super busy running around for next Saturday's wedding. It's gonna be super small but it's still super special so...I'm going with the flow when I'm out running around with other people. Just feel too stressed with any rules. So...if you don't see me on here...I'll def be back on about the 11th. I'll try to stay OMAD when I'm home, but I know I've got too many engagements with people out of town.
    Hugggggsss and ya all be good o:)
    Tonight's dinner; salmon, rice, corn, kale salad.

    The puff pastry is a great idea. I'm not much of a pastry person myself, but Darcy would love that!
