Well, I made my steps because we parked nowhere near the hospital! 13026 in total. Alas we did not feel like the cinema... treats wise, I went to the deli and brought some rhubarb cider, smoked cheese, and loose leaf tea.
The appointment was not so great for answers. More scans needed before the op. But the op must be. Rough times ahead...
Thinking of you lots @Wishusdonna! Sending positive vibes across the ocean,2 -

Thursday Check In--Happy 4th of July, everyone!
Calories: under (without using the exercise calories)
Exercise: kayak this morning that burned 600 calories (not sure I believe that, but that's what Endomondo said)
Water: good
Today's Goals:
1. Water—at least 80 oz
2. Kayak and bike/walk/swim--
did the kayak, but nothing else formal. Cleaned house all day though, so I'm still tired.
3. Track food--
4. IF—18:6 (eat from noon to 6:00). Yes, I was only off by about 15 min, so I'm calling that a win on a holiday.
Tomorrow's Goals:
1. Water--at least 80 oz.
2. Bike ride early, then it's air travel day
3. Track food
4. IF--16:81 -

Thanks @UTMom81 and @Kres567 - I had some giggles last night as it was so hot I went to put on my shorts pyjamas instead of long pyjamas and the vest would not go over the bump. But on one side, I can see my ribs. It's crazy! But I shouldn't have long to go.
Calories under, water fine, and a whopping 16115 steps yesterday, mainly from walking about watering plants!1 -

I’m happy with this number. I was up again at the start of the week and have come down after the long weekend. I’m working to have that number continue to drop little by little over the week.
The Calgary Stampede is on for the next 10 days in Calgary and I’ve got a few activities relating to that which can revolve around BBQs, pancake breakfasts and other treats. Going to be mindful, get my water and steps in.2 -

Thursday check-in
Calories OVER! Went overboard yesterday at a party. My uncle was BBQing and normally I'm not much of a meat eater, but he used to do BBQ competitions and ran a BBQ catering business on the side, he makes amazing food! I'm definitely not good at sitting by the pool with a lot of food in front of me. Oh well, today's back on track. I'm still full so I'm skipping breakfast.
Exercise yesterday- core, recumbent bike
Today's plan
Back on track eating-wise.
Exercise planned- elliptical, weights, recumbent bike, some time gardening as neighbor gave me an agave plant with a bunch of babies he was going to throw away and I need to finish potting them all, plus have some tomatoes to harvest and want to plant more radishes.1 -

I actually weighed on Wed., as I do not have a scale where I am but didn't change the weight until my official weigh-in day. Hope that's not confusing... => When in Raleigh, NC (currently in Morehead City, NC), I weigh daily but only sporadically record in MFP because I wait for a loss that seems to stick. I am one whose weight can really fluctuate so I like to be sure.2 -
Friday Check In
Calories: under
Exercise: 2 hours whitewater rafting class IV
We’re having a great time in Colorado! Whitewater rafting was a great workout! Ii’m enjoying some treats while making an effort to make healthy choices most of the time. At lunch today, I learned I really like leeks which I hadn’t ever had before.

Hey there, I so sympathize. We all do.
Big picture, you have held on to that big drop you had the last week of June, which is great news! And that despite this being a holiday week, which is also great news!
Are your clothes getting looser? The scale number is not always helpful. Sometimes a shrinking waist measurement is far more telling.
Is there anything you want to tweak in terms of food or exercise this week? There may not be. I'm just a big fan of looking for ways to get a little bit better, week by week.2 -

I am so inspired by everyone’s focus and tenacity!! I thought of you all while I was navigating my first real holiday challenges these past few days, and you inspired me not to give in!
What I learned:
1. There is ALWAYS an alternative to “the old way of eating!”
—- a hot dog 🌭 tastes just as good
(and easily slides thru the bun so you
just eat the meat) at the fireworks!
— a low carb, ice cold ‘hard’ seltzer was
a nice treat while friends enjoyed beer
—on a trip with a group who decided it
was time to go out for pizza (my former
FAVORITE), an appetizer-sized dish of
Sausage and peppers plus a side salad
was a perfect lower carb alternative
(although the pizzas on the table looked
delicious!)
Bottom line is that we need to cherish and celebrate ourselves!!! Happy holidays, all!!3 -
PS: I have to work on not feeling apologetic and self-conscious when I’m out with others and making these food choices... anyone have any tips?0

Saturday check in
Calories under
Exercise- killed it yesterday!
I'm still not feeling good from the 4th, aside of having the flu i don't recall ever not having an appetite. Weird how eating differently can hit so hard. I'm planning on working out still but will see how I'm feeling. Have a wonderful Saturday everyone!1 -
PS: I have to work on not feeling apologetic and self-conscious when I’m out with others and making these food choices... anyone have any tips?
I think it takes time - you have to be comfortable with the choices and they're still new....it's almost that you are apologizing to you. I had a hard time with this when I first began because I *knew* how odd it was for me to do this food 180 flip-flop, how unnatural it would look to others and, frankly, I felt like a stranger and impostor in my own skin. Suddenly, I went from the one whipping up batches of yummyiness and planning elaborate feasts to the one who watched every bite, become somewhat obsessive, made low (name the cal, carb, sugar, whatever) so that it fit my plan. Over time I adapted and it wasn't so foreign - and people asked me for tips and hints as I peeled off the weight over several years. I eventually went to ballgames with fruit and yogurt so that I had snacks, too - and thought nothing of it. I stopped feeling apologetic and began to be comfortable with a new lifestyle - and indeed, a new life.
Your choices show you are on the right path. It's ok to not know what's around the next bend or to suddenly be in a storm because you'll come to understand your path in ways that will continue to excite and amaze you. => You'll be ok with occasional rainstorms and enjoy the sunshine of your choices and everyone around you will also adapt and they will become comfortable with the new you, with you. You are doing well and you are an inspiration to us, too. =>1 -
