    I walked a shorter walk early this morning, then went to TOPS and walked with other members before the meeting. It was a good meeting, but our chapter had something to work on for this week. I had a small gain, but I wasn't alone. No turtles, but only 2 that had a loss. For me, that's 3 days away from home eating others cooking. I'm going to repeat it this coming weekend. Ugh!

    After TOPS, I went to the dentist for teeth cleaning. I have some work that needs to be done. Ugh!

    We have church tonight, for the first time in over a year. I've missed the midweek church gathering.

    Bea a small gain is better than a big gain. Just do your best while you're away. You've got this!

    Today was thrown for a loop. Hubby's angiogram was postponed till the 13th. Doctor was called for an emergency. After I got back from the grocery store and started my workouts my knee started bothering me so had to ice and skip my workouts. Probably to much weight walking home with all the groceries I was caring.

    Today was a great day! Well except for when I ran over the neighbors electrical cord I was boring to cut the lawn. That ended the lawn cutting for now. But I got all today's planned workouts done.

    I slept in this morning. So I showered, then washed clothes, then towels. While towels were washing, I hung up the clothes. Then hung up the towels when they were done. While they were on the line, I went walking. I forget about how much traffic there is later in the morning. When I was done walking, I brought the towels in to finish drying in the dryer. It flyffs them up and makes them softer.

    Then we went to Missoula for a few things. We got home at 3PM. Then I brought the clothes in from the line.

    Tomorrow, I'll be packing for the weekend. We plan to leave after lunch. I'll post a little before we leave cellphone service. Sometime Monday afternoon, we'll be back to civilization. lol

    We're off to church family camp. In less than an hour, we'll be out of cell phone service for the weekend, until Monday afternoon sometime.

    Have a great weekend!

    Here in Canada it's Labour Day weekend! Nothing special going on again this year with COVID. Normally I am working at a fair here all weekend. Got all my workouts done and grocery shopping for healthy foods. Didn't make it to the lawn today. Tomorrow I have another busy day.

    Had a busy morning taking mom to the farmers market and grocery shopping. Picked up a few things as well. Then spent the afternoon and evening at a friend's. No workouts today as my shoulder is bothering me. Hoping it feels better tomorrow.

    Today was a very relaxed day. We had rain last night and by the time the lawn dried it was to late to cut. Calling for rain again tonight so not sure I will get to it tomorrow. Shoulder is still stiff and sore so just did walk, marching and a little stretching.

    We'll see how I do at TOPS tomorrow morning. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a small gain. But I'll do better next week.

    I got my hair cut this afternoon. There was about 3" cut off. It's still longish, more shoulder length.

    You've got this! Just think no matter what you weigh tomorrow it's still lighter than before the hair cut.

    I just learned that there is a SP group here in MyFitnessPal. I'm not sure whether to join it or not. It's private. It's to keep out the undesirables.

    I did get a friend invite from a woman that had a picture of her with a boob hanging out. Others have had friend invites from naked men. So the group is to keep those out.

    Today was a great day! Went to TOPS and lost 3.5 lbs this week! I was so shocked as I thought I was going to gain. Was highest loser this week for the group.

    I know that there are several for us. The only thing you can do is try it out and see if you like it. You can always leave the group.

    I gained another pound at TOPS this morning. Ugh! I'm not really surprised. I've had 2 weekends in a row (3 days each) that I ate other people's cooking. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't good for the waste.

    Summer is almost over. I have some options. I don't have jeans that fit. So I have to buy new ones. NOT! Wear shorts all winter. NOT! Wear leggings all winter. Doable. Best option is to lose the weight. I'm for it.

    Bea 1 lb is not bad. You've got this! Try throwing in a little more activity. I find this can help.

    Today was a very productive day. Back on the exercise train again. Went shopping and bought a size medium spandex leggings. That's two sizes down from the last time I bought them a few months ago. Woohoo!

    Today, I brought Mary to Missoula for her monthly shopping. She's in Walmart now. I finished shopping, so I'm waiting on her. I know she'll buy a dozen donuts and give me one. It's her way of "paying me back". I don't charge her for gas. She's on a tight budget. I made a point of having extra calories today, so I can still be in calorie range. I'll enjoy the treat!

    You're such a great friend! Mary is very lucky to have you. Great plan to leave room for a treat you know you'll be having.

    Today was a busy day. Took Mom to appointment, mowed a lawn for landlord, and visited some friends. Also trying to get ready to head to spend weekend with son. I struggle with calories there as my sister and her man buy a lot of high calorie foods.

    Yes it is but I usually manage as son is always willing to purchase veggies for salad if they're not in the house.

    Had another great day with my Son. Now I am home and wishing I could go back lol. Just seem to have more time to do things when I am there. Even when I doing cleaning and other jobs for my Sister. The only catch is her and her boyfriend need to stay away. Oh well it was a nice break while it lasted.

    I've had a busy lady few days but good. We dog sat our son's 2 dogs. Then yesterday, as usual, I got up early, grabbed my breakfast and took off walking. While walking, my brother called. He was in Missoula and wanted to meet at Cracker Barrel for breakfast. Ugh! We went down there. Breakfast is the worst meal at most restaurants. I got pancakes off the kids menu. It was the lightest I could go.

    I still managed to stay within my calorie range. But I had a very light lunch (protein drink and banana). Peppers and carrots for snacks. Chicken Vegetable Soup for dinner and a salad. Our son came back to get his dogs and do a little repair work on our house.
