✅ 2- Veggies at each meal. Yes, so very many, see below
✅ 3- Pre-log day (ok to change)
❎ 4- Actually sticking to meal plan- not quite, my breakfast veggie plan made such a huuuuuuge bowl that I ate those leftovers all day, still haven’t finished them. Who knew shredding kohlrabi made that much volume? 🤷🏼♀️
❎ 5- Walk 5 days a week- we’re under an air alert for wildfire smoke blowing in from elsewhere, so I stayed home and didn’t walk on the elliptical like I could have.

I can't believe how July is disappearing - also can't believe how far away my end of the month weight goal still is. Body is pretty resistant to dropping pounds these days. Hope it reconsiders its passive aggressive stand on this! I'm not gaining, but at this rate my new yearend goal is going to become "let me get back to where I was in March"!2 -

July 23
Thought I went completely off the rails last night when I had a guest over...a couple of mojitos later (because of all that mint in the garden and the white rum that magically appeared in my kitchen this week)...and a snack that turned into a string of snacks. But entered it all this morning and realize I was just eating because I had burned lots of calories yesterday. I'm so glad I entered all the "bad" stuff....because now I feel pretty relieved.

cheeky teen that! Good show on the goal scorer!2 -
Nice to see you @Janatki ! Even your check-in sounds vibrates with activity and excitement!
So maybe I am on shakier ground than wanted to believe. Way more calories than I wanted yesterday - but fitbit says I was only 40 calories over maintenance so I won't sweat it too much...lol...not that I really believe fitbit but I'd kinda like to for yesterday.
I'll get back on terra firma tomorrow.
Today is picnic day at a local (relatively) quarry with kids and grandson (alas, pup is not allowed, I'm already feeling a bit of an ache for leaving her at home. It is like leaving a vital part of me
). All the food I'm bringing - though healthy - is the kind that quickly adds up to more calories than I'd like. But there will be lots of swimming activity that isn't going to get logged because I just don't have the wherewithall to do it. Maybe some magic will happen. At least I hope enough fun to balance out the disappointment of the scale tomorrow morning!
