I hope everyone has had/is having a good day, and things improve soon for those under the weather.
We've been for a nice meal this evening at a local restaurant. Wasn't planning on a starter but we were warned there was a bit of a wait in the kitchen and I had tomato & basil soup, then for main I had a sirloin steak. Both were lovely. I was torn about ordering dessert and in the end decided against it, partly due to being full and partly being mindful of calories; in the past I would've made it fit! I'd not snacked between meals today knowing we were going out so everything sits within my calorie goal although there's always a lot of estimating with a restaurant of course.
Prior to going out I went on an hour's run; a little slower than normal on the pace I think, but I had a stitch threatening. In fact, said stitch was threatening as I was leaving the house before I'd run at all and initially I was thinking posture, then I started having menstrual cramps when I got home - blaming those! We'll do a long walk tomorrow, so I'm happy with the amount of exercise in my weekend.2 -

Congratulations on passing the 150 mark, you’re killing it!
thank you1 -
I bought a dress today. It's a size large! And I bought it in a normal store at the mall. I haven't felt like I could just buy clothes at the mall since I was a teen. I usually go to plus size stores or shop online.
I'm aware the Sailor Moon socks do not match it well.

Happy Sunday y'all!!!!
@jugar I'm going to skip my weigh in this week because yesterday was super busy. I was a vendor at a Juneteenth 5k. Today I'm up to my eyeballs in homework. I'll be sure to weigh in next weekend.5 -

I’m still doing some exercise but not managing my foods much. I feel so much heavier this month and my clothes feel tighter…
I want to get to my goal weight but not enough to be more focused on what and when I am eating. Somehow it seems easy to say do better or eat less or change your habits but I’m just not doing it…. Arrgghh.5 -
Happy Sunday!
It's a gorgeous morning here in Alberta, and as soon as I finish up the tallies, I'll be going off to meet @ashleycarole86 for a walk and lunch. I'm excited to meet one of the team in person! She's also one of our top 3 again this week - well done, Ashley!5 -
@Terytha the new dress looks lovely and thanks for sharing your experience.. I haven't shopped in a non-plus size store in a long time so that's very inspiring to hear. I look forward to being able to shop at any store.
@jugar so glad we have sun for today! See you soon!
Enjoy your Sunday everyone.. I LOVE summer solstice...4 -

Yesterday was Husband's birthday dinner, so my weight was actually a bit lower but I enjoyed my steak, potatoes and broccolini with a peach bellini.
Today I'm making him a cake (his birthday isn't until Tuesday so we're stretching things out a bit haha.)
It's kinda funny that the icing is significantly higher calories than the cake.5 -

Sorry to see you go, @lorib642.
I’m back in my own digs and hope to catch up with all of the posts tomorrow.
Nigh-night!

@Terytha You look amazing!!! So fun to just shop at any store in the mall. What a great milestone 👏
Happy Father's day to the dads in our group!
We had a busy Father's day here. I did lots of cooking for the dads at our place. We took a break and spent the afternoon at the lake. My husband got one of those giant floating mats for Father's day. It is 6 feet by 18 feet and it floats around like an island 🏝. That was fun and the kids loved it. No formal logging or exercise today. Back to the routine tomorrow for sure.6 -
Had a nice visit with @jugar today.. the sun was out in full force for our muddy walk... I've got two shoes sitting outside drying out as we speak
I second that @conleywoods ... wishing all the dads a Happy Father's Day! Sounds like the floaty mat was a huge hit.
@Terytha what kind of cake did you make your husband? Hope you two are enjoying the celebration - I love stretching a birthday celebration too
Got my alarm set for 6 a.m. in hopes of squeezing in another walk before work! Want to start the week off on the right foot.7 -

I had 79.4 yesterday! Still, a loss is a loss and I feel like I'm heading in the right direction again.
I hope everyone had a good weekend. Our walk yesterday wasn't the longest but it felt quite challenging; a large portion was on a narrow (uneven) track where I was having to walk one foot in front of the other, so some proper hip sashaying going on! The footpath we followed back was very overgrown with nettles and sticky weed, amongst other things, so it was slow going. These were new paths for us and whilst I enjoyed going somewhere new, I don't think we'll be inclined to do either of them again.
I've started a new book; The Art of Resilience: Strategies for an Unbreakable Mind and Body by Ross Edgley. I am 2/3 chapters in, and it's about his journey to swim around Great Britain but incorporating lessons about resilience. Not going to lie, the swim sounds awful, but it's also fascinating to see how he copes with that and his thought process. I think I'm going to learn a lot from this book!5 -

@ashleycarole86 Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting and sprinkles. It just doesn't feel like birthday cake without sprinkles. XD
The cake was ok but the frosting turned out so good we had to stop ourselves from eating it all out of the bowl.
I think using sweetener affects cooking times or something, the last couple of desserts we tried using monkfruit and erythritol sweeteners overbaked a bit.3
