    Late again.

    Wrong direction! So sorry for my red added to all the wonderful green. I have eaten out a lot this week. I’ve also had an adult beverage many of the days. It’s hard because summer feels like a celebration even if we do t go anywhere because I’m not exhausted from work so we go out.

    We are actually really going away on a short vacation to the shore next weekend. It’s my husband’s birthday and our 40th anniversary.
    That is a real celebration. So I’ll do what I can to moderate.

    I have been very frustrated the last 2 days or so because my Fitbit just stopped working. It’s a year and a half old. I scanned forums. And finally contacted customer support. It died. I restarted it. But it wouldn’t charge. Working with them…here comes the creepy part, they told me to try and charge it in a different outlet because my charger is too cold. ??? It does have an a/c vent above it. I moved it elsewhere and it is charging. I asked how they knew a charger in MY house was too cold. The answer I got was their tools can detect it. So weird and a little creepy.

    So now maybe I can get my Fitbit back on to motivate me. Need to get moving.

    @YinxFed What a wonderful place to do yoga.

    I need to do one thing that is exercise today heat or not. I did pull weeds in my garden for an hour yesterday and hopefully did not get poison Ivy.

    Watch for the announcement late this afternoon!

    @micki48 Beware the Fitbit Secret Temperature Security Police! They know all, they will find you! That is so wonderfully weird. But I hope your device gets all charged up and ready to go. Enjoy your celebrations with your hubby - birthday and 40 years together. Congratulations!

    I decided to weigh myself every morning this week while accurately logging my meals to see, if anything, a trend. For the last 7 days, my net average was 1,678 calories, with only Thursday being my “green” day for staying under in my calorie goals. I have essentially stayed flat this month, weight wise, so as I prep for the rest of July and some upcoming vacations, it’s going to be important for me to modify more where I can to see that scale move.
    I like your methodological approach! And it certainly looks like this week was anything but flat - 2.4 pounds down! Keep it steady now - not too fast :smiley:

    I'm having trouble getting my workouts in these days - the heat! Once I get in from the garden work or horse exercise, I am useless. I feel the difference, though - targeted muscle work makes me feel so good, and I miss it! Heat, heat go away...

    @ashleycarole86 i bet you can tell when my Fitbit broke. No records here but at least I can add a few steps to the team total.

    The fix of a warmer charging spot did not work. It appeared to fully charge and as soon as I took it off the charger, it said 1%. Darn.

    Today was a very sedentary afternoon. Cleaned house this morning. Binge watched a show this pm. I haven’t left my house except to water plant outside before it rained. 😂

    @eggfreak that poem is beautiful. Thank you so much! Please enjoy the moments you can in the wild.

    Team? We really rocked week 1. We have to now work hard to stay the course in week 2! Good old, boring, annoying planning, logging, and then celebrating in healthy ways. We've got this!

    I'm late....AGAIN!
    Really, I had the best of intensions yesterday. It was a heavy farm chores day. We've acquired a new goat, built a new chicken kingdom, rotated animals to new kingdoms. OH! And I cut the grass. I use a push mower to keep this body moving. I thought I was going to have a heat stroke at one point. That's when I knew I should probably monitor myself a bit better.

    Anyway, apologies!

    Got bloodwork back from the doctor. It was just the routine, once a year bloodwork. Cholesterol is on the rise (again). This is a reoccurring pattern I have. I've managed to stay off of any medication for it using diet alone.

    I need to log on daily. I don't. During the week, I only log on to work apps. It was super busy last week. We had a short week with the holiday. I managed to be in 7 stores in 3 days.
