@tfelts147 Congrats on the loss and the long fast!
@19shmoo69 LOL good. Why DID you start quoting Wonka? lol
@Katmary71 LOL! Yes, time is short (I only get 30 mins) but I can walk where there is a distant view of the ocean. Thanks! Good for you for leaving when the fries were a temptation. I hope you have fun today and tomorrow!
@FushiaKat I love the bracelet!
@AmbersWay LOL good. I'm glad you got the joke!
Someday, I will retire, but not for about another 10 years at least. Thanks. How's your back today? Your summer is going to be amazing! I hope you post more pics.
Hi all. My husband got up at 2:00 am so I got up, too, to keep him company. I am going to be very tired today. We are celebrating his birthday even though it isn't until Tuesday. We are going to the zoo and doing some other things. I love taking Fridays off, they are my favorite days to take off work.

Work is very busy right now, home is a little different with a kid back from school from the other coast (making noise at odd hours), and SO MUCH laundry 😂. Luckily it’s just time for a long weekend with not so bad weather !!!
Have a nice weekend everyone, stay safe!5 -
@Katmary71 – Tiny leaves have sprouted. I planted 3 seeds each into 4 dirt pots. So far, looks like 2 of them are purple
So freaking excited! As far as inspiration goes, I’m not sure yet. After having 3 children and a span of 30 years since that picture, I don’t think I can ever get back into a size 6. But it IS fun seeing the first car I ever bought Nice job avoiding those fries. I love all things potato.
@Cornanda – Woot Woot! Glad you’re on track!
@19shmoo69 – You’re killin’ me with your goofy posts hahahaha Nice truck!
@txcritter69 – You’ve motivated me with your decluttering. I need to go through all my clothes. I ripped them all out of the closet and they are in huge piles on my bedroom floor. I am requiring myself to have everything picked through and cleaned up by the 4th of July.
@trooworld – At least you know we’re actually reading your posts! Hahaha Happy Birthday to your hubby!
@tfelts147 – You are rockin’ it! I’d have a dandy of a time saying no to Mexican!
@Brigit02 & @19shmoo69 – Augustus Goop LOLs
@FushiaKat – That IS a very pretty bracelet. And DANG, girl! 28 STRAIGHT WINS? Your poor competitors! Hahahaha Do you eat the radishes plain? I love them with hummus.
Hunter and I had a serious conversation about weight loss as I need to lose 45 lbs and she has about 30 to lose from baby weight. We are going to be accountability partners. She suggested we write down things in a journal throughout the week – both good and bad – and then when we see each other on Sundays we can go over our journals and encourage each other and brainstorm ideas when we’re having difficulties with something. I love my child. But I know my child. We’ll see how long this lasts…
In the meantime, both Wednesday and Thursday I did a fantastic job of staying under calories and getting in my step goal. I’m going to take my diary on here off private for some added accountability as I transition away from faux meats and cheezes and into more whole foods. Crack the whip on me, guys!
P.S. Sophie & Byron got to meet each other yesterday!
No Zero Days June Goals 6/14 & 6/15:
1. Weigh/Measure/Log all food – 14th & 15th yes
2. 6,000 Steps – 14th & 15th yes
3. Stop eating when pleasantly full – 14th & 15th yes
4. No snacking after 10pm – 14th Yes & 15th no (but it was a salad)

Mica .... Lmao!! 🤣🤣🤣
I've been reading and smiling and ohnoing and good jobbing to all y'all's posts all week, but I think it's been a minute since I actually posted 😬
FuschiaCat, beautiful bracelet! and wtg in your win 🤗😊
Ambersway, what does closing up your house for summer mean, and where do you guys go to live during the summer? From your post, I'm picturing cping or RVing all season! Whatever it is, sounds like it will be lovely 👏.
Cheers!

Hey everyone!
I was feeling tired and achy and snacky - so I decided to go to bed (it’s 9:30). I know I would normally go downstairs and grab a snack. They gave me an epiphany …. I don’t recognize any of my different feelings. I basically interpret everything as hunger or a need to eat. Tired, sad, stressed, angry, thirsty, bored… I feel all those things as hunger. I need to stop and really figure out what it is I’m feeling, then work on ways to address those feelings that don’t involve food. Separating true hunger from all the things I know not to be hunger is going to be a big test.

When I first joined MFP I read that we should- Drink when we feel hunger first, then drink some more.
- Weigh but use the scale as a tool, separate emotions from the scale.
- Measure, inches lost are better than pounds.
- Reward Non-Scale Victories
- Don't wait to buy a few new clothes during your journey. Look good at all your weights.
- Maintain accountability.
- Rid the house of junk food if you are able to do so.
- Even small changes are big changes in the long run, don't discount them.
- Find alternate foods. I now use Salsa for salad dressing.
- If you get off track, get back on and don't give up.
- This a lifestyle change, not a diet.
- Find what works for you and keep doing it.
- Every calorie counts.
These are just a few of the things I heard repeated over and over. I adopted a lot of them. And I had to stare my demons in the face and stop rewarding myself with food. Cookies were the hardest thing for me. I loved cookies. Now I can have them in the house and not eat them for months. I had to have a long chat with myself, which I did talking to myself out loud while doing laundry. I can imagine a therapist would charge lots of money for that advice.

@FushiaKat I love that bracelet, how beautiful! You have 7 cats, right? Very meaningful and classy bracelet. Congratulations on first place with your greenhouse! Wow very impressive first place wins!
@AmbersWay It was an interesting video, it was how to use it for beauty purposes, I think after being 75lbs more and in my 50s it would take more than micro current to lift things on me! Your summer sounds perfect.
@trooworld Oh a distant view of the ocean would be an awesome place to hang out! Thank you. Happy birthday to your husband, have fun at the zoo!
@19shmoo69 Nice truck, can you help us move trays to the farm?
@GabiV125 Have a wonderful weekend with the kiddo!
@vegan4lyfe2012 Yay I’m excited to hear that about the basil! I
honestly haven’t tried seeds in pods that didn’t come with said seeds, I need to give that a go! I can’t plant lettuce until fall so I think I’ll try a few of your lettuce seeds. I discovered one of the spots I used to get morning sun I no longer do so I may be able to get away with planting lettuce there too. LOL do it with Hunter and if nothing else it’ll give you a good new start and maybe help her more than you think. It could be great for bonding too! I’ll check in on your diary, I usually don’t check them because I get cravings but will do it for you! OMG I LOVE Sophie and Byron’s outfits, those are the best! Sophie has a “don’t judge me and don’t mess with my lil cuz” look about her! They’re just too cute!
@mkksemail Great to see you, I’m glad you posted and said hi!
@megnolia82 I’ve always kind of done that too…sad, happy, etc equals food! Give it a go at figuring out what’s behind it, it’s a hard habit to break and you may not always avoid eating but it’s smart to start learning more. I still have times where I know I want to eat because I feel helpless (usually when pain is awful) but I do it fully knowing I’m eating out of stress and not really hungry. Great tips from @FushiaKat too!
Hi friends! I worked out this morning then went to the greenhouse and started some seeds while the manager loaded the cars with trays of seedlings for the farm (feel lazy not being able to do it but it’s not worth making myself worse). Also did my PT stuff and what I could of strength. I have some stuff to do in the yard tomorrow but am going to go to the farm to get the basil planted and trimmed back so hopefully I’ll still have some energy. There’s a parade through town the charity I’m with will be parking cars for but it’s a standing thing so I’m not helping, it’s going to make going anywhere for me tough so I’m hoping to avoid it. Have a great Saturday team!

Let's go get it!
My sugar was 115 this morning as apposed to 130's and 140's. This makes me happy. My water aerobics was cancelled Thursday due to weather and I haven't moved as much "on purpose" as I should have so I understand no loss. I'm making a conscious effort to not eat after 8p.m. and I am feeling a difference in the mornings. I am encouraged.8 -

@vegan4lyfe2012 LOL that's true! I know I have lengthy posts and I am sorry about that but it's good to know some are reading! LOL Thank you. That's good you and Hunter are going to be accountability partners. Good luck! Aww, those babies are precious!
@Katmary71 Thank you! Have a great Saturday.
Hi all. I'm not feeling well so this will be quick. We went to the zoo and the whole time I had stomach pains. I still have them and a slight fever. I think I might go to urgent care in a couple of hours.

Rain was predicted for today starting at 6:00am, but it wasn't raining yet at 5:30 so I decided to chance it and get at least one walk outdoors. When I got home, the forecast had changed and was now calling for rain to start around 8:00. We had breakfast, then I dragged Rich out for a walk before the rain. We got home, he sat down with a book while I checked the forecast again. Now saying rain starting at 10:00. Yahoo! Grabbed my raincoat just in case, and went out for a third walk. Rich wanted to go shopping, and the rain was just starting. It's been pouring since. We went to Books A Million, and I bought 2 crochet books. The craft section of all the bookstores is really dwindling; now craft and crochet is all magazines or online. We went to Duluth Trading and Rich bought a long-sleeved T-shirt. Then we had lunch at a seafood restaurant, and shopping again, this time at Red's Shoe Barn. I bought some Brooks running shoes and a couple pairs of Darn Tough socks. When we came home I did a walking videos workout to finish out my 6 miles for today. I've decided to try to make 2023 miles for the year, and I'm a little behind but can make it if I get 6 miles each day through December.

Happy Saturday, Slims! ⚖️
It is pouring rain 🌧️☔ (again!) here in Maine. Two weeks, plus two days, and counting!, with very little breaks along the way 😝.
Happy 33rd birthday to my baby girl today! 💕. She's working all day, from 10a to 10p. Hubby and I dropped off a Dairy Queen ice cream cake, and three xl pizzas to her work. We brought a pizza party to her! Heh she was so happy 🩷
Cheers!
