    Happy Friday!

    LOL @KateNkognito right, aren't you jelly?! The good news is my legs are not that bad. Just a little sore vs. full blown limping as experienced in years past. Fingers crossed that tomorrow it doesn't all go to h*ll... Going to take some Advil before bed!

    Otherwise things are good here. Plugging along. :)

    Hope you have a great weekend!

    Yesterday was a LONG day! But there are only three more school days left! I am teaching 6th grade science next year. It should be fun!
    @Meghan509 I hope your legs are good today!
    Gonna go catch up on house work, then veg out for the rest of the day. Have a lovely weekend!

    Good morning!

    Monday is here! We had a nice productive weekend. Got the garden ready to go for new tomatoes! Got my Impatiens planted in two cute metal buckets that hang off the railing of the deck, as you walk up. Beautiful light lavender color. :)

    Had a nice dinner with friends on Saturday night. VERY WARM here lately! Sunny and 80's F! I will take it. Bought four red Adirondack chairs, the plastic kind, for the yard yesterday. So cute and comfortable!

    Planning to make a few yummy recipes for dinner this week. Looking forward to that!

    Hoping to pick up some new tomatoes tonight for the garden. Looking forward to seeing friends this weekend and having an extra day off for Memorial day on Monday of next week.

    Let's go summer!!

    Kate, hope you are having a good last bit of school and Mama, hope you are feeling better.

    See you soon.

    Two more days. Plus I got good sleep this weekend. Nice and cool weather here over the weekend and for the next couple of days.

    @Meghan509 Sounds like you had a great weekend. Enjoy your garden!

    Good morning!

    Tuesday is here. Finished up the last of my almond milk, which means going forward I am going to scrap my morning oat meal. I am planning to finish up the crappy low carb protein bars I bought and then after that I will go back to fasting in the AM. Time to get back on track.

    Have not been logging in too much food wise, but have been sticking to my calories pretty well and drinking my water. At least during the week!

    Good luck with the last few days Kate!

    See you soon.

    Sounds like a plan, Meghan! I am going to start ADF next week. I have rebounded back to where I was a couple of years ago. I have 60 pounds to lose. That's 1/3 of me. I feel gross and I need to get healthy.

    One more day! Summer's coming!

    Good morning,

    Good for you, @KateNkognito! Yes, I am in a similar boat with having to start from scratch again. Will be hopping on the scale soon to see how much I need to lose.
    So funny how bodies are different. I would like to get down to 170 lbs as that is a good weight for me at 5 feet 4 inches tall and an hourglass body type. I can be a comfy size 10 and feel good at that weight. I am done trying to get to 140. It is just not happening...
    Have a great last day of school!!!

    Pretty day on tap here. Currently 60 degrees F and mostly sunny. Going out to lunch with a hotel sales person today. Planning to make healthy choices like a salad with protein. :)

    Have a good day and see you soon!!

    Last day of school! I am going to miss these crazy students of mine!

    @Meghan509 I am currently 184 and would like to be 128. I am 5'1" on a good day. At that weight I would be healthy and happy. Enjoy your salad! That sounds really good after all the junk I have been eating lately.

    Good morning!

    Hope you had a great last day, @KateNkognito now you get to sleep in and enjoy your summer!!

    Lunch went well. I ended up with fish tacos. Just couldn't resist and they were good!

    Not much new here. Just looking forward to a long weekend with Memorial Day on Monday. :)

    See you soon!

    Got my room packed and all checked out. I have already taken my first nap of the day. Going to go take my vitamins and a nice long bath. Tomorrow will be a fast day.

    @Meghan509 I have never had fish tacos. I feel like it is something I need in my life, though.

    Good morning,

    Oooh, @KateNkognito I bet it feels nice to have your classroom all packed and put away. Time to enjoy your summer!

    I highly recommend fish tacos. These were lightly breaded, some are just regular cooked fish, it all depends on the restaurant. There was a little bit of lettuce and guac and some type of sauce. Simple but good! Our Mexican restaurant makes a good batch too!

    Looking forward to a nice long weekend and not being chained to a computer an extra day. :)

    Hope you have a relaxing weekend with family. We are getting together with friends at their place on Saturday afternoon, otherwise planning to hit the beach and spend as much time outdoors as possible. Still need to get my tomatoes in! Yikes. LOL

    Have a great day and a nice weekend. See you soon.

    The sun is shining after a week of rain. I have already walked the dog. Fasting today. Going to take my youngest to get his driver's license. :o

    @Meghan509 Have a fantastic weekend! I am super jealous that you get to go to the beach!

    @mamainthekitchen I hope you are feeling better!

    Happy Monday! And happy Memorial Day to my friends in the US! Two fasts in and I am down 4 pounds. :) I absolutely know most of that is water weight. I was really puffy the last few weeks. Onward and downward!

    @Meghan509 I hope you are enjoying your long weekend!

    @mamainthekitchen I hope you are feeling better!

    Everyone else: have a lovely day!

    Good morning!

    Just shy of noon here, jeez the AM has flown!

    Our long weekend was great! We had some mixed weather on Saturday with thunder showers and drizzle, otherwise the weekend was beautiful! We spent a lot of time outside and I got my tomatoes planted!! Woo hoo! BBQ'd burgers on the grill Sunday PM.

    Back to work today! Good news is it is a short week. Weekend weather is looking good too which I like!!

    @KateNkognito congrats on your loss! Water weight is still a loss! Good job!

    Hope you are feeling better @mamainthekitchen!

    See you soon. :)

    Today I am struggling with my fast. I will persevere! And have a huge breakfast tomorrow.

    @Meghan509 My husband is fighting a battle against aphids on his plants. But one of them already has some little bitty green tomatoes.

    Going to take a nap and maybe a walk to distract myself until bedtime. Have a lovely week!

    Yesterday was a REALLY hard fast, but I made it! I think I need to find some kind of bubbly beverage during fasts.

    @mamainthekitchen Are you ok?

    @Meghan509 Halfway through the week and it is only the second work day!

    Going to work in my kitchen today. This place is a mess!
