    Do you have any bad weekend habits that interfere in your weight loss or fitness you can work on this weekend?

    I'm pretty strict with my diet. My best friends daughter is having a lemonade stand fundraiser for her school and I'm gonna break my diet to have a glass of lemonade lol

    Quick pool session yesterday. I had to go to my daughters for the my granddaughters birthday party. It was with her friends. I stayed after and we had pizza for supper with the family. The pizza along with snacking in the afternoon lead to a small gain this week. I am surprised it’s not more because pizza usually leads to a gain of a couple of pounds. Better weigh in next week.

    I have the celery on my grocery list. Do you buy flavoured cream cheese or plain? I have a dip/spread mix that might be good to mix with the cream cheese. It’s low in calories and sodium.

    I use the whipped cream cheese and I sprinkle smoked or regular paprika on top of the cream cheese that is in the celery :)

    I treat the weekends like I do the weekdays ... We will swim tomorrow ...take Sunday off ... I already have my goals for September ... I like to be ahead of the game :) ...My plan is to walk 5 days a week (not sure how far we will go) ...Use my gym 3 days a week ...and I want to get some bands to work out with and use 3 days a week ...

    It definitely makes a difference. If you want to weigh tomorrow morning and post that weight it would be fine. Let me know.

    My biggest bad habit is eating potato chips on the weekends. Also, we never eat a proper meal on Saturdays. We tend just to eat something quick. I am about to start my meal planning for the week so Saturday I will be cooking. Once I have my week day eating back under control the potato chips will go.

    @fatfifties you lost 65lbs in a year! That is fantastic and for those of us who are on similar journeys, we know the dedication and effort you put into that. It is certainly a call for celebration. Don’t demotivate yourself, you went to that party rightfully feeling proud of yourself. Next year you’ll attend and have even more to celebrate. Your knocking on the door to One-derland, you go girl!

    Thank you. Picked myself back up, have a week visiting my mum in the UK at the end of August then look out September! I'm joining the step challenge and losing 21lb before Xmas!

    That's the spirit!. I'll join you in that challenge -- 21 lbs by Christmas. 😅👍🏻

    I like a little competition!

    You’re on. This is a challenge that can truly be a win-win (or hopefully lose-lose)!

    So, hub's healing is going well. He will be in a non-weight bearing cast anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks...😳😬. It is a case by case, sort of deal. Needless to say, we are hoping it is the former. He is able to get around in reasonably well hopping with a walker. Crutches were just too precarious. I have his permission to post the x-ray his Orthopedist texted me. I'll post it later, or tomorrow. Be well everyone!!
