@Katmary71 Darn, that stinks that she hasn't returned your text. I hope she does. Oh I would definitely wear that hat just because lol. I love bright colors! Well, the dogs haven't fought in about 2 weeks BUT it's because we keep them physically separated. How? One of us has the leash of one dog and the other person has the other leash...yes, in the house! It's exhausting keeping them apart. But we have to do it. Thanks for asking. How fun to hang out with your childhood friend! My best friend has been my best friend since we were 8 years old. Nothing like knowing someone for that long! Sounds like you've been very social lately!
@DrewsAnna I'm glad that things are better. Your backyard socializing sounds fun. I hope you have fun at the picnic today.
@19shmoo69 HAHAHAHA! Thank you for that.
@tammymccrady6278 Congrats on the loss!
@Cornanda Are you still doing the mindfulness stuff?
Hi all. My knee is really bothering me and I'm trying not to aggravate it worse because next Friday and Saturday Comic-Con Intl convention for us. I would be so bummed if I had to not go due to my knee. So, taking it easy for now. We dropped the puppers off at the kennel yesterday and will pick them up today at about 3 pm. It's been nice being without them and getting a break from being hypervigilant but I miss them and can't wait to see them.

Well all Will Power left me this week. I have been in a workshop since Sunday and they have fed us very well. My mind knew I didn't have to eat all this but we had crackers, candy, pasta, bbq, hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken strips, potato salad, Publix subs, chips, sodas, cakes, coffee, wine, poppy seed chicken, black eyed peas, cornbread, sweet tea, fried chicken, rolls, chicken salad, fried green tomatoes, salad, squash casserole, lasagna, strawberry shortcake, and a whole lot more. And I am on my way now back to the group for a finale pool party with a cookout. Whew! And on top of that, we were in lecture settings every day, sitting listening...
I have had a great time making 18 new friends in this workshop who's friendships I will cherish.
I have a lot of work to do next week to get back on my road I was on. I can do this!!

I bet the butcher $20 he could not get the meat on the top shelf. He said no way man those steaks are too high.8

@DrewsAnna Oh thank goodness the order was granted, I’m glad there hasn’t been any more trouble. I haven’t tried Boba tea yet but I love tea, I’d looked up the calories and they were more than my cold brew at Starbucks. Is there a type you’d recommend if I tried it? Have fun at the picnic, it sounds like you had a great weekend with people you care about and did well at staying on track. Your backyard visit was a perfect way to go, I forgot about those thins, they’re good!
@19shmoo69 Thanks for the jokes silly!
@trooworld Thanks! Oh no I could see the leash situation getting old fast. My brother’s dog is kept on the leash when we go to my parents and the family starts getting snappy when they’re stuck with her. That’s awesome you’ve been friends for so long with your best friend. I have two close friends from when I was about 10 and 13 that I’m still in touch with, one from the neighborhood and one I met at a dance standing against the “female” wall ranting about how lame it is to wait for guys to ask us to dance. Shoot I hope your knee is doing better for the convention!
@askewcr It sounds like the workshop was pretty awesome even if you didn’t have willpower (the food sounds amazing!), I think the trade off of that many new friends is worth a few days of being off-track, just get back to it when you get home, you got this! It IS a lot easier when you’re back home from a trip, I always try to do good when my Mom and I would visit family but despite insisting on veggies for every meal there’s wine, cakes, and great meals so I usually go up 5-10lbs but it comes off fast when I get home and get back on track. What kind of workshop was it?
@jessicakrall8 We really appreciate all the time and effort you put into our group challenges! You’ve been so creative with coming up with a variety all of us can do too, you’re amazing!
Hi team! Same old stuff here, spent a couple hours at the farm working on garlic, went to the farmer’s market for fruit, and have been taking it easy the rest of the day, tired and don’t feel the best but I’m ok. Hopefully I’ll feel a little better once I’m at this dose for awhile.
No Zero Days- under calories, healthy, good workout. My arm’s having more problems but tomorrow’s leg day so I may just lay off the upper body to help the hit funny bone feeling.

Hi,
I'm pretty frustrated right now. I know I haven't been doing everything right, but I think I'm doing enough to NOT GAIN. And yet, I'm gaining.
Time to regroup yet again on this journey and figure out next steps.

Good Morning folks!
I love Sunday's, it is a fresh start to a new week, CONGRATULATIONS to all that made it through last week with a loss!
@sleepygirl79 Glad you feel in better and your headache is gone.
@micaroo4 Glad you were able to get that walk in before the storm.
@trooworld I think is was worth it. No more maintenance every month and my hair feels so much more healthier. I'm sorry thing are so crazy for you with your pups.
@Katmary71 I will have to try that stretch out it sounds like a great one. I love getting together with my childhood friends. Unless I get my tomato plants producing and my new cucumber plants in the ground soon other then my cantaloupe and pepper I am pretty much done with my summer garden. I am going to start my green beans today. I have not mastered a great recipe for pickle yet. But when I do I will let y'all know.
@DrewsAnna That's great that thing worked out and now you can have peace in your own home again. I am going to figure out the canning thing. I hope you have a great time at the union picnic.
@19shmoo69 Love the jokes! Keep them coming.
My pickles were a flop😞 I should have took the warning when I stepped on the scale that morning(166.6). End up having to throw out all 6 jars. So yesterday I made six more 6 but only made refrigerated pickles that time. We will see in a few days if they are any good.
Not giving up on the canning thing thou. I had fun doing it. Just need to figure out a few thing.
Cutting this short have to get outdoorsbefore the oven preheats🔥😂
I hope everyone has a Blessed Sunday!
GO OUT AND BE AMAZING TODAY!4 -

@askewcr I'm glad you made 18 new friends, that is awesome. Yes, you CAN do this!!!
@19shmoo69 LOL! Have a great day, my friend.
@Katmary71 Yeah it does get old fast lol. That's cool you have 2 friends from childhood! Thank you about my knee. I'm thinking I'm going to have to make a doctor's appt.
@Cornanda Oh gosh, that must be maddening. Please don't give up, I know you won't, I can hear your determination.
@txcritter69 Congrats on the loss! Yeah I was thinking about how much money I will save going natural. Thank you re: the pups. I'm sorry your pickles were a flop, that's disappointing, isn't it? This is the recipe I use to make dill pickles in the fridge, I add 1 tsp of mustard seeds and 1 tsp of red pepper flakes: https://selfproclaimedfoodie.com/easy-refrigerator-dill-pickles/ It comes out really good.
Hi all. Well, back to reality now that the dogs are back from the kennel. They were happy to see us. I'm using this recipe to make freezer breakfast sandwiches that will hopefully keep me out of the cafe at work: https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/freezer-breakfast-sandwiches/
We are still in a heatwave so not much activity.

@Cornanda Do you want to brainstorm a bit here on what’s going on for feedback? I hope you get to the bottom of it, I know that’s super frustrating.
@micaroo4 I like it, great goals!
@txcritter69 I hadn’t really thought of starting some of that now until I was listening to “what to plant in July” videos, I hope your tomatoes pick up and you get those cukes in. Love green beans, do you do bush or pole? I hope the pickles work out!
@trooworld That recipe looks good, hope they turn out well!
@sleepygirl79 @broncobuddee @Brigit02 Top of the winners this last week, way to go!
Hi friends. I’ve been dehydrating herbs, doing laundry, and resting most the day. Did a light workout too. Have a great Monday team! I bought a peach tea for iced tea and threw in some ginger, hopefully it will turn out good.
No zeros- healthy food under calories, good workout, great water.

I haven't checked in, I'm so out of the routine, I think I might have gained some weight in the middle of last week. I'm going to start over on Monday! I am so sorry, I'm really disappointed in myself!3 -
@Katmary71 My grandson had a strawberry & mango with popping bubbles blended with ice. It was the best one I've ever had. I had a blended banana with popping bubbles and it was really good to. I tried a mocha with tapioca last week and it was
horrible. I'm not experienced with them, just gotta keep testing different ones.
Hey, y'all,
Last night, I drank some white claws again. Once again I tried to be mindful, I drank about 7 or 8 claws, but I also had a grilled roast beef and cheddar sandwich with a side salad. It was really good and I only ate half the sandwich, I'll finish the other half tomorrow. Today, I had a chicken quesadilla for dinner on a Xtreme wellness spinach and herb tortilla and a side salad.
I'm really trying to get back on track. For the first time in over a week I finally took the time to log all my food and close my diary. I know that tracking is key, so I have to do that. I told the "kid" (as I call her) that we have to start exercising again.
Alright, time to go, I'm really tired. Y'all have a good evening!

@Katmary71 Thanks for the congrats! I was scared to get on the scale today. Had my family over for BBQ and completely overate all the wrong stuff. I can't believe my weight stayed the same. Going to be extra good this week.
@sleepygirl79 Don't worry about gaining a little weight. It's part of the process. Next time you'll probably weigh less.4 -
@sleepygirl79 @broncobuddee @Brigit02 congrats on making it onto the leaderboard!
@DebJB30 @AmbersWay congrats on the losses!
@Katmary71 The breakfast sandwiches? Well, I didn't get to making them yesterday so this morning, at 4:54 am, I am making them lol. I hope they turn out okay, too.
How are you feeling? I take it from your resting that you aren't feeling so hot. Oh that tea sounds amazing!
@DrewsAnna All that food sounds amazing! Yes, tracking is important. You got this!
Hi all. I think it is supposed to be a little cooler today so I hope to go for a walk at work. Food will be better today than over the weekend.

I’m enjoying summer for all the wrong reasons. I’m off to camp for the rest of this week so I plan to get in a lot of steps and swimming. I just have to keep away from the wine and snacks.3 -
Sorry I’m late. Just got back from a much needed little vacation! Obviously I blew it, but back to the diet today.
