Daily Check In: Are You On Track Today?

Working on clearing out things we don't need is a blessing to ourselves and to those that will have to go through all of that stuff once we are gone. I am still going through the in-laws stuff to make room for my stuff. Then I plan to begin the decluttering of my stuff as I unpack those boxes in the basement. It's been a year since we moved to the farm. Lots of things accomplished and lots left to get done. I sorted through a garden shed this weekend. We have a load to go to the dump once again. But now I have a place to put my gardening tools and I am excited about that. I stumbled upon a number of mice under a floorboard in that shed. I was able to lure Grumpy cat to the shed with treats. She even went inside! I am hoping she too will stumble upon the mice. I have left the door open wide enough for her to patrol lol!
My birthday it tomorrow if you can believe it! I didn't make any plans to celebrate it. I think I prefer something quiet once again this year. Our Covid restrictions were lifted so technically I could have a larger celebration. With everything I am processing and being an introvert, I am leaning towards a quiet restaurant dinner. Maybe Mexican.
I still haven't watched 1776!2 -
Happy Birthday eve Shari!! Hope you have a great day tomorrow. Mexican food sure sounds good to me!! So nice to have a place to put your gardening tools....a definite benefit of your hard work cleaning things out. Good luck getting the mice taken care of. You know how I feel about those critters!!
I didn't follow plan at all today. I had hot dogs on low carb wraps. I have satisfied my hot dog craving and won't want any hot dogs for a long time. My friend Sandi dropped by again today. We just chatted and relaxed a while. It is nice that she lives so close by that we can get together easily.1 -
Hi Everybody! Shari, Happy Birthday tomorrow! I hope you have a wonderful day!! Mine is in September-technically in the summer but growing up, school had already started so it has never felt like a summer birthday. Paula, such a nice tradition that you and your son have on July 4th! Diane, enjoy your houseguests! It is so nice that we are able to see people again! I made a landmark move today. I brought the final 3 totes of stuff into the house from the garage that I'd moved there before my son and his family came in April. Then I went to the storage unit and moved 6 totes from there into the garage. I'm using the garage as my "staging" area to hold totes until I have time to bring them in and go through them. I went through the three that I brought in earlier today and will now work on the six as time allows. When I'm done with them, I'll get more from the storage unit.
My eating is usually on track until late at night and then anything is fair game and that was true today. I'm hoping that my extra work moving totes will prevent another gain. Everyone have a great evening!1 -
DW, You sure are making progress with the decluttering! Smart to use your garage as a staging area. Very impressive!!
It is far too hot and humid here for Craig (and me) to do any work outside or even in our un-airconditioned garage. The news this morning cautioned anyone with certain medical conditions to avoid being outside for any extended time. Craig has asthma, and it is just so oppressively humid here lately, so our garage clean up is on hold for the moment, as is any other outside work Craig has to do for me yet.
I had an ok day but not really as compliant as past days. I feel ok now, but earlier today I was really tired and took an afternoon nap, which is unusual even for me. When I woke up from my nap I had more energy and was able to accomplish most of my "to do" list. I had some frozen filled peppers that I thawed and reheated for supper, very easy and not too far from plan (the meat in the peppers have some rice mixed in). I am expecting tomorrow to be a much better day in terms of energy and eating.1 -
Our company arrived….insisted to take us out for dinner. I had Walleye which was not a bad food choice but the french fries I ate were way off track. Only good news is I left many on my plate….only allowed myself a few and filled up on the fish! It’s 55 this morning and rained overnight so our deck is soaking wet and cold. No morning coffee on our deck! The next few days are forecast to be cooler after 90’s and high humidity. It is a relief. I hope you get relief East of us soon!!
Breakfast will be on track but no idea yet about other meals. I will take it one at a time as with each day. Same with my darn thyroid. I have been so tired on and off with fibro for so many years and even more so after our drive up from AZ. Had been chalking these last weeks of fatigue up to my age. Now I wonder if it is partly due to thyroid. I want that ultrasound over….but have to wait for 14th. The cancelled and rescheduled brain scan combined with the thyroid cancer concern makes this a less than peaceful time. I vented that here as I have not spoken my concerns to family (especially DH as he has enough on his plate these days). There is nothing that can be done or changed, so I am relying on prayer and keeping busy to get through this month. 🙏🏻

Diane- It's not easy to await medical appointments and then the subsequent time it takes to get the results. I understand your concern and not wanting to have your family then share in that stress/anxiety. I am praying for you- I know how much it has helped sustain me in the past. I hope you can sense the peace in the waiting in some degree!
I ate poorly and as a result felt poorly yesterday. Still have some damage control to do and can't wait to flush out the food making me feel this way. Very bloated and tired. I have new determination this morning. It helps having felt so good last month. It is motivating to get back to healthy eating. I started the day with a bowl of oatmeal and blueberries. I am also having a cup of tea. It will take 3-7 days to undo things, but meal one is in the books!1 -
Diane, Congrats on skipping most of the french fries. I am not sure that I would have been that strong, especially when they are paired with fish (one of my favorite combos). Yum! Enjoy the cooler temps! Our weather is still oppressive, and we are under a heat advisory until 8 pm. Tomorrow will probably be a repeat of today. You, Robin, and Cheryl are in my daily prayers and will remain there.
Shari, like you, when I don't eat well, my body lets me know! Celebrate your new determination! I am going to make myself another cup of tea as soon as I finish typing here. I feel well in control today and aim to keep this attitude.
Today is kind of a busy day for me so I am checking in here early. I am having salmon and broccoli for supper. So far I am on track with breakfast and lunch. I definitely feel more in control today than yesterday. I am feeling well rested today, very different from yesterday. I know I say this a lot, but I see a direct correlation between my level of fatigue and my healthy eating choices.1 -
Thanks everyone for your prayers and understanding…very much appreciated. This too shall pass.
I am tired this morning. Cooked a huge meal last night and everyone, (including me) was too full for dessert our guests had purchased. So they dished out this morning and I only had a 3 bites and quit eating it. Way too rich for me, lol. If all desserts were so sweet I would have no trouble saying no. I ran dishwasher as we sat down to eat last night and this morning spent two hours cleaning my kitchen, hand washing my pots/pans and running a full load of dishes again…my back was just not up to doing it after preparing dinner last night. This having guests for 7 days is a bit of a struggle for me these days compared to even a few years ago.
We are on our own for meals today as our guests are invited elsewhere….so we will have some of our usual small meals…mine with veggies. Planning rest of my day to be on track food wise! Tomorrow I will be cooking meals again….but will figure that out later, lol.
Wishing everyone a great day!😎0 -
Hi Everybody! I haven't checked in for a few days. Things have been "as usual"-good choices during the day and not so good at night. I really need to get back to that place where I managed to not snack late at night. Yesterday I was bemoaning the thought that I had to take two dogs to class this morning and then one to a different class tonight...now I'm bemoaning the fact that all classes cancelled for today....All the previous planning and preparing and worrying was for naught...As my mother and her mother used to say "Don't borrow trouble" ...I guess I didn't learn that lesson very well...
Diane, I am keeping you in my prayers! Shari, I admire your determination and hope to find mine soon!! Paula, I'm glad you were feeling better yesterday! I hope today was a good day as well!!
For the next three days, I will be stewarding at an Obedience trial in Michigan, driving back and forth daily (about an hour each way). Meals will be provided and I'm hoping for some healthy choices...and then if there are those choices, I'm hoping for the mindset to make those choices-LOL!! I'll be out the door very early but should be home by mid afternoon. Everyone have a great evening!!1 -
DW, Your involvement with the dog activities sounds like so much fun to me. I would have a house full of dogs if I could handle it. Good luck with your meals! At least you know you are burning off extra calories with all you are doing.
Diane, You are much better than I would be at this stage of my life when it comes to having house guests, especially for an entire week! It has been 2 years since we had family stay with us for any extended time, about a week as I recall. I was already not able to do much at that time but somehow managed to get through it. I could not do it at all now.
Today was another very good day for me. Again, I was well rested and had planned well for the day. It was my day for my manicure, so I thawed chicken breasts in advance and made them for supper with salsa, green beans, and a little low fat cheese and of course our usual supper salad. Sometimes I find my chicken breasts get too dry, I think because I try to cook it in advance (before I feel too tired), and when it is ready we aren't ready to eat yet, so it gets too dry. I hadn't made salsa chicken in quite a while, and both DS and I agreed I need to make it more often. Tomorrow is my Shoprite pick up day. I will probably make salmon for supper.0 -
Hey Everyone! We are enjoying hot weather here again. I love it, not many others are. Our dog got too much heat yesterday so he had a rough night. That meant that we also had a rough night. He threw up a couple of times. After the second round DH went to sleep in the basement. Moe is down there with him. Much better choice for them both. I decided to sleep in a bit knowing I would be tired. That has put my morning routine in arrears. I need to get to work- thankfully there isn't a drive to do so. I will try and check in again this evening.0
-
A rough night would definitely spell a rough day for me Shari. Good move sleeping in as best you could. Hope your day went ok.
I had a fairly good day. I made salmon, broccoli, and salad (as planned) for supper for myself. DS had a salad and frozen pizza tonight, of which I had a small (I thought) piece. I looked at the box from the pizza and realized that even my "small" piece was probably about 310 calories! Fortunately, my calorie count for today was remarkably low, so even with the pizza I am still well within my calorie range. I will just have to be super careful for the rest of the evening. Otherwise, my day was uneventful, as are most days anymore. I picked up our Shoprite from home order and am always pleased with how healthy and compliant my purchases are. Knowing I am "investing" in healthy foods helps keep me determined to stay on track to "invest" in myself.
Wishing everyone a great and healthy weekend!0 -
We ended up having a full night last night and I didn't make it back on to MFP. We installed one of our new windows in the dining room- it's not quite finished yet. We went for ice cream. DH loves ice cream, I do not. But- I will eat banana flavoured, and they had some. It's a rarity in Canada. So I had single scoop cone. It was still too much! Then we popped into a grocery store in the small town where we went for ice cream and they had pork hocks. Also a rare find. So I bought some and I am making "headcheese" or "holodna." I am super excited about that. After that we stopped in at a yard sale two farms away. It was 90% kids toys and we certainly are not in the market for that so we didn't purchase anything. Then we relaxed. My eating was off point I am sure. I didn't track. I am back to tracking today.
I had my counselling session on Wednesday. That was interesting. I did some sort of therapy, I don't recall the name. It involved hold these balls that had low electric stimulus. I would be asked to think about something while the balls did their thing, then I had to take a deep breath and share where my brain took me. I did that several times, interval after interval. It seemed ineffective and I was feeling a bit pressured to keep going. But I must say that in the end there was a shift in my thinking. I haven't seen Jim's parents since this therapy happened to see if it will help with my trigger, but it just might. CRAZY! I go back in a couple of weeks for some follow up. The goal is to remap the brain form one path of thinking to another that is more helpful.
Lower stress and emotional lows should assist in weight loss. Here's hoping.
I like when you said that you are investing in yourself Paula. I think that is something positive that I want as part of my healthy thinking.0 -
Shari, I listen to a local health talk show on Saturday mornings. One of the topics they often mention is the relationship between stress and metabolism. I recall hearing that our bodies can release the hormone cortisol during times of stress/anxiety and that this hormone can interfere with metabolism and weight loss. It will be interesting to see how you fare the next time you see Jim's parents.
I stayed on track again today except for sharing a can of hard seltzer with John. There are a few things going on at our church that concern both of us in terms of financial decisions being made. It seems to us (and to 2 of my close church friends) that some priorities are misplaced and that some decisions being made are not wise ones. But since I haven't been in church physically since March 2020, I know I won't speak up about these concerns. We have maintained our pledge contributions of course, but since I know I am physically not able to attend in person, I am just having to keep these concerns to myself. And now something is happening with the church email list so that John and I (who have separate emails) are receiving some, but not all of the church emails. I know this because I checked with my friends Carol and Alice, and they are receiving emails that John and I are not receiving. The church emails are not in our spam files, so I will have to send the church an email to ask this to be corrected. I will get over this I know, but it is disconcerting on top of my other concerns.1 -
I do strive to be consistent with my calorie intake, hours of sleep, exercise, and water intake. I struggle in the area of stress/anxiety. It will good to have that looked after and see if the weight will shift more easily.
Jim and I share your same concerns about how our church is spending their finances. It's difficult to not have an avenue to share concerns, but it is the congregation that donates the funds they are spending. I think it would be wise for them to check in with us or at least provide a way that we can share our thoughts and even our ideas. There are times where I like to give directly to a project or help out someone I know personally apart from going through the church.
We have made a lot of progress in our bathroom. We have a few touch ups, we need to hang our toilet paper roll, towel hooks and lastly one tile needs to be redone. Jim didn't notice it moved and now it is slanted. It will bother me so he will remove and replace. It's a pain, but it will be worth it since it is a very visible location. I am hoping we will be able say it is 100% complete. Oh, I forgot about the light fixture. Jim needs to work on that, every time we turn on the light the breaker shorts out. Getting there!0 -
Hi Everyone! I've been out of communication for a few days but have been logging my food and exercise. Shari, that is so exciting that your bathroom is so close to being completed! I'm with you all regarding church concerns. Some things were changed at my church that I'm not in favor of, but what could I say since I haven't been there and said "no" to a volunteer leadership position a while back because I didn't feel like I could complete the responsibilities during the pandemic. I still haven't returned in person. I'm praying for guidance because I feel unsettled in my current situation. I've also had so many dog activities on the weekends, but those shouldn't be my priority. I guess I just feel disconnected and I used to be so active in church. Paula, I hope you will be able to get the church emails figured out!
My eating has been dismal at the dog show over the weekend, mostly because the choices were limited and my lunch breaks were mid afternoon so I was starving after leaving home by 6:30 every morning. Salt appeared to be the seasoning of choice so I have a great deal of water weight at the moment. I want to start fresh on C1 but am eating out at two different restaurants with two different people on Tuesday. The question is, do I start fresh tomorrow and try to eat C1 on Tuesday or wait and start fresh on Wednesday? I really need to learn to maintain 17DD while participating in life-it was so much easier when there was no social life or club activities!! I'm going to pull out the book and see what Dr. Mike has to say about this!! Everyone have a good evening!!0 -
DW and Shari, I appreciate your comments about church finances. It is a bit comforting to know that my situation is not unique. I plan to email the church this week to point out the email issue. I am just keeping quiet for now about the financial concerns because I know that what I say won't make a difference, and I don't want to cause myself any more frustration. My friend Carol was at church this morning and called me tonight with more news about the poor financial decisions. I am just taking deep breaths and praying about it.
Shari, so exciting to see such progress with your bathroom. I hope eventually you can share some photos.
DW, I will be curious about your decision about when to go to C1 based on what you read in the book. I think I know what Dr. Mike would say, but that doesn't mean I necessarily consistently follow that way.
I had just a so-so diet day today. I did ok till later in the afternoon when I felt "munchy" and indulged in some salty snacks. I think a bit of it was "comfort" food related. And of course afterwards I didn't feel comforted at all.0 -
It has been a crazy busy week with in-laws staying here. My SIL has lost a lot of weight and is down to her high school weight and size 6! She looks really good (age 70 this fall). She is doing a 30 gram protein shake for two meals a day and regular meal for dinner. Not sure it would work for everyone??? Her success is making me envious for certain, sigh!0
-
Hey Everyone! I am starting the day behind as I forgot to reset my alarm after sleeping in on Friday. Oh well! I can just work a bit later. I want to enjoy a non-rushed morning.
We got a good amount of work done on our bathroom and we installed another window. Just a few more minor fixes in the bathroom and I will send before and after photos. We should be able to start using it in a week's time.
I have often thought about doing two shake and then a regular dinner. I just don't think that I could make that a lifestyle change. I like food too much. I will keep trying and if I can't make significant gains by September, maybe that's an option. I know someone else who lost their weight by that method.0 -
Diane, I have read stories on SparkPeople telling of substantial losses using a shake plan probably similar to what your SIL is doing. It seems to work for some people. I can see how it would be manageable short term, but I think long term it wouldn't work for me. My son likes protein shakes, but usually only for breakfast, and then eats regular healthy meals for lunch and dinner. I have tasted some of his shakes, and they are ok. Sometimes he adds fruit which makes the shakes better. I might give it a try sometime for just a few days (if I can last that long), just to see if it gives me a jump start.
Shari, Having your bathroom almost done is super. I cannot even imagine installing a window! I will look forward to the photos. You and Jim certainly are working hard!!
My day turned out to be better than I expected. I was 'munchy" in the afternoon, but I managed to somewhat satisfy the munchies with on plan foods. However, I am still not completely satisfied tonight, so I will allow myself a 130 calorie Built bar if this persists (17g protein, 4g sugar, but 18 carbs). My carb count today is low, so I am ok with this if it helps me stay otherwise on track.

Hello! I'm happy to hear that you are all doing well on this Monday! I looked at the 17DD book and started back with C1 today. I will try to make appropriate food choices at the restaurants tomorrow. Due to my poor food choices over the weekend, my feet and ankles are swollen to the point of discomfort (not pain-just discomfort). I've had quite a bit of water to drink today and hope for improvement when I get up in the morning. Tomorrow I will drive a couple of hours to my sister's home to take her out for breakfast for her birthday, which is today. After that I will meet a friend at another restaurant in a nearby (to my sister) town to discuss/plan dog events that are upcoming. it should be a fun yet busy day! Everyone have a great evening!1
-
I had a regular work day, pretty uneventful. Ate at the top end of my calorie goal. So there is room to do better.
I had a bit of stress with DH's parents coming out yesterday (a few times) without texting us that they were on their way. The counselling helped me be much less stressed, but I still find it disrespectful that they can't simply let us know that they will be on the property. I will work on getting the tools I need so I can have a talk with them about boundaries. They don't seem to hear Jim when he asks.1 -
I am having my thyroid scan tomorrow. After the results I will be able to make treatment choices and after getting a handle on that …I plan to evaluate my eating plan based on my physical needs and what the doctors say. I will keep options open till then and in the meantime try to stay with as healthy a diet as I am able. I feel 17dd is healthy plan.
I personally know from my experience when 35 about Slimfast shakes and losing weight on their two a day plan. I hated it but I did lose the weight I needed to lose back then. Not sure it would work for me today?? Not willing to go that route today with my thyroid issues in flux. My SIL’s results are nothing short of amazing…but she has since shared she had a change in her type 2 diabetes medicine which she believes helped allowed the weight to fall off quickly. So it was a combo of diet and med change that lost 30 lbs!!0 -
Good luck with C1 DW. I was pretty sure you would start C1 after checking the book, knowing that Dr. Mike's philosophy is that if we wait till the perfect time to start, we would never start the diet. Sounds like such a fun day you have planned with your sister and with your friend.
Shari, I hope your in-laws get a grip on what they are doing and how inconsiderate they are when they just show up! That would annoy me a great deal.
Diane, prayers continue for your test results. It will be interesting to see what ideas/suggestions the doctors have regarding your eating plan.
I surprised myself with another good day today. I was a bit concerned because DS had a meeting at 5 pm which caused me stress about meal prep and worrying about getting overly hungry till I was able to cook and have our evening meal ready. But it all worked out ok. I drove him to his meeting, and then instead of going for a Dunkin drive thru egg wrap (which I used to do somewhat regularly in the past), I had a 130 calorie Built Bar which satisfied me and kept me going till I got home and prepped a compliant supper. I have come to think of my Built Bars as substitutes for Dr. Mike's power cookie (only I do eat Built Bars after 2 pm). Tomorrow will be more of a challenge. One of my dearest friends is coming to visit. We haven't seen each other since before the pandemic. She called tonight, and we talked about getting a take out meal tomorrow or a delivery or something, but we will decide when she gets here. I have been doing so well that I don't want to mess things up tomorrow.....we shall see!0 -
I agree with you Paula. There never seems to be the perfect time to start a diet. Food is so prevalent in meetings, get togethers and celebrations. Always an interruption and choices to be made.
The in-laws may never get it. Jim's dad was back last night without a text to let us know. Moe was outside, we were digging up trees and didn't hear him arrive. I am glad Moe is okay. He often chases FIL's truck thinking it's Jim inside. The cows that FIL were looking after are leaving today. There is one cow/calf pair that discovered they can get through some of the fences so they are all going home. I will miss them, but that should mean that FIL does not need to be out here very often at all. We shall see!
Praying for you Diane!
Paula- I know how you feel about messing things up by getting a meal out. That seems to be a slippery slope for me. I can be so good and then one meal undoes my resolve. It's not the one meal, it's the next decision that needs to be the focus. If I can master that- I would be at goal weight by now.1 -
Shari, Moe seems to be a good point to hold onto when it comes to addressing issues with your in-laws. You do have to protect him. Let's hope!
I had a wonderful time with my friend this afternoon and evening. We haven't seen each other since the pandemic hit. We met at work in the 1980s and have been friends ever since. While we often talk on the phone or text, seeing her in person and just plain hanging out was great. When she is here it is like having family here....no pretense, no fuss, no bother. She stayed here with me for a few days after my hysterectomy in 2015. I couldn't have done it without her at that time. Today we ended up getting delivery from the Italian restaurant that DS (and I) like, because my friend was hungry for Italian food. I had a seafood dish with shrimp and scallops in a light garlic sauce. It came with garlic bread which I didn't eat and pasta of which I had a little but not much. The food was very good, and it has been a while since I had shrimp or scallops. Tomorrow another friend is coming to visit, but I don't think this will involve a meal as she is coming after lunch and will probably leave before supper time. She, too, is a close friend (we met in college). She is a retired nurse practitioner, so I am guessing we will talk a bit about the pandemic.0 -
Hello! Diane, I hope everything went well today! Continuing Prayers for you!! Paula and Shari, that is a great idea/ approach to discuss Moe's safety with the in-laws!!
I'm happy to report that I made good choices at both restaurants yesterday and my weight was down a smidge this morning. That was after a 2 pound water weight drop the day before. My ankles still looked very swollen yesterday but much better this morning! I am almost "back to normal" and can, hopefully start making progress soon. I had a very lucky occurrence today. I hadn't been able to get into the dentist for a routine visit since 2/2020. They'd rescheduled me once, then I had to reschedule once and then they couldn't get me in until October. This afternoon around 2, I called them and asked to be put on the "on call" list in case of a cancellation. They called me back around 3 and by 4 I was having my teeth cleaned! I feel like a new woman!! So lucky!! I would have NEVER considered myself lucky to see the dentist-funny how one's perspective can change-LOL!! Have a good evening!!0 -
Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I received report this morning. Not the worst news but not all clear either. I have two nodules one on each side of neck/thyroid. The larger one says cancer risk assessment “small”, the one on left and smaller says “ intermediate “ cancer risk. My primary care doctor believes I can just redo the testing in a year. With my radiation history I am not comfortable with that option. So I will see what steps are next to have a fine needle biopsy of each of them. Then if all clear a year follow up seems reasonable. If biopsies show any cancer it means a surgery. I will let you know what I learn in the coming days…these communications with doctors take time.
Take care everyone!❤️1 -
Diane, Thanks for the update on your test. Prayers, as always, continue.
DW, Great news at your scale. Every drop in pounds is rewarding! So good that you were able to get in for a teeth cleaning. Because of the pandemic, I have had to be rescheduled a few times with my dentist. My next appointment is in September. Not a fan of going to the dentist, but I will be glad to get in for this appointment.
I didn't really follow plan today. I enjoyed some nut roll and coffee when my friend came to visit. It was a nice relaxing visit. She is easy to talk with, and truly a good person in every way. She told me she still wears a mask anytime she might be in contact indoors with someone who is not vaccinated or someone whose vaccination status is unknown. She recommends strongly that I do the same especially since I am immuno-compromised. She recommends the same for John so that he wouldn't transmit anything to me. Since I seldom go anywhere that puts me indoors with folks who might not be vaccinated or whose vaccination status I don't know, I don't think I have to stress too much about it, but I definitely understand her point. Tomorrow will pose a few more challenges for me as I am getting my haircut late in the afternoon but I think I will just thaw some salmon or cod so that supper isn't an excuse to stray. Come to think of it, I suspect my hair stylist isn't vaccinated, so I will be masked there!0 -
Hello! Diane, I echo what Paula said! Thank you for the update and I'm continuing to keep you in my prayers!! Shari, I hope you have had a good day!! Paula, that is interesting that you mentioned the masks. I went a couple of places today and wore one when I was inside. I also wore one at my hair appointment last week. With the new variant increasing in prevalence, I'd rather do my best not to be exposed!
We had a sad incident today....as I was preparing to take my pup to her class, I went out the front door and our koi pond (about 4 feet deep at the deepest point) was EMPTY! Our two largest Koi were dead but a smaller koi and four goldfish were still alive in a tiny spot of water. My husband tried to revive the koi but to no avail. We immediately started running the hose into the pond and eventually there was enough water for the surviving fish to swim around again. He suspects that something happened between the pump and the filter and it pumped the water out rather than recycling it. I never did go to the dog class... A new pump has been ordered and should arrive on Saturday.
I ate on plan today-all prior to the incident or I might have been very tempted make non-C1 choices. Have a good evening!0
