@jugar Since I'll be leaving from my house instead of the office, I don't think I'll be able to weigh in before I leave. If my hotel has a scale available, I'll try to jump on, but otherwise, I'll have to wait until the following week, but I'll see what I can do

@micki48 isn't it crazy what no taste and smell can do to your appetite? I lost those senses several years ago to a side effect of a medication and I lost some weight!
@jugar your horse is beautiful!
@conleywoods that garden is awesome! And to have the drip irrigation. I have some zucchini planted and can't wait to see how many I get!

So we've gotten a lot of rain recently and now two of my zucchini plants have 1 leaf each that looks like this. Does anyone know what it is or if I need to do anything?

I'm here for all the green thumb pics.. but I can't relate!! I would love to eat your fresh veg though
This afternoon a team of us from work went to volunteer doing clothing donation sorting at our drop in centre.... I have almost 16K steps. I think I've said this before but sedentary desk job me, had she thought differently about things when she was choosing a career, would have loved to choose something on my feet. What a difference it makes!!
Post-volunteering we had beer and appies. Not the best choice the night before weigh in!3 -

@lauren_989 that looks like one of two things! Either your zuke plant is a naturally variegated leaf type, or it might have some powdery mildew. Here is a good article, but there are many on this problem and I'm sure you can find a solution. I usually just remove the leaves that get any mildew spots on them, if that is what it is.

Pleased with a little loss this week - it has been a while! I've not been drinking as much water as I ought to, but I've also not been snacking on all-the-things. Had a mini-binge yesterday afternoon, where I think I was craving electrolytes, as we also had McDonalds for tea which hit my need for salt, yet I still had restless legs when we went to bed.
I am jealous of your garden space @conleywoods; I love my allotment, but I would love even more to have it at home and especially with irrigation. We've not had rain for a few weeks, and have been having to bring water from home to top up my water butts at the allotment.
@lauren_989 I had powdery mildew on my squash plants last year and this looks like something else - I suspect insect damage. Try spraying with a mild solution of washing up liquid/water; will help with both mildew and bugs, or you could use garlic water too.3 -

Hey guys, I've enjoyed reading all the gardening posts and seeing all the photos, that is one handsome horse @jugar ! I'm normally a keen gardener (I agree, that looks like insect damage on the courgette leaf, pull it off and spray plant with dish soap solution or non-toxic pesticide) but this year I've decided not to plant any veg, after the last 2 years being difficult with a late spring followed by heat waves and drought and as I'm going away at the end of the month I won't be able to keep things watered. I've tried a drip irrigation system but it didn't really work for me. So I'm having a break from it and putting my efforts into the flower beds and borders instead.
I'm surprised I managed to lose this week as I was away camping for 4 days and indulged a lot, so I guess I got lucky.

@MoonlitMuse - great job this month.
@ashleycarole86 - what a day. Such a rewarding day helping out and so nice to see your employer is supporting helping out the community.
@39flavours - nice loss this week
I'm turning my week around, did a workout today and not letting the stress of school and life get me in a funk. I'm excited for this weekend bc I'm off for a girls trip with my daughter to do some fun things around Calgary. Hope the weather is good while we are there.4 -

I’m thinking about trying a meal service for two or three days a week. Does anyone have any recommendations, has had a good experience or know of one to stay clear of?
TIA1 -

My net calories were up this week to 1,788, so interesting to see such a big drop. It could be because of my increase in exercise as well.
Tonight, I have my cooking club event. I’ve made a Mexican street corn dip, and I did a few tweaks like reduce the amount of butter or swap for low-fat where possible. It’s pretty spicy though so I hope they like spice! I pre-logged everything that will be there because I was talking with my dietician about being worried about not taking something that someone made. She said to just be mindful of portion size and have fun. I really like working with her. 😊
Yesterday was a rest day for me, my body told me it needed more sleep and a break, so I honored that. My husband and our dog enjoyed a nice long walk in the afternoon. It was pretty warm out and today is supposed to be warmer. Summer may finally be here!
I went to my group strength circuit gym on Monday, worked out at home on Tuesday, and had a spin class on Wednesday. Today I’ll do another of Sydney’s workouts, and then Saturday as well. To round out the week, I have hot yoga on Sunday.
Next week I have to go into one of our other corporate sites that’s further from me so I think I’ll have to either get up earlier for a workout (not sure I really want to do that), or switch it up and workout after work (around 6pm), or just use those couple of days as rest days and then crush workouts the other days.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!4 -

CW 194.6.
Gonna see if the scale is friendlier tomorrow, my digestive system isn't processing fast enough these days. Not enough water and fibre. It's definitely not because I'm not sweating it out in this heat!3
