I treated yesterday as a leisurely swim. I get a pretty good workout when I am playing with her. I have a busy day today but I am going to the pool.
Have a terrific Tuesday!1 -

Off in the rv on Saturday ... plan to spend 3 months travelling up the coast of Spain and back. Also planning on 10,000 steps a day and losing my last 18lb to get to my target loss of 100lb! Really looking forward to it! Is it sad that I've missed walking and dieting ?

Hey, there, Downsizers. I dropped off the face of the myfitnesspal earth in early July. I couldn't go for my walks because of my knee and my son was coming home mid month, so I bailed. Both just convenient excuses, I know. I need to stop feeling sorry for myself because of my knee and just adapt. You read through any support thread on MFP, and you are guaranteed to find someone who has a lot more to deal with than yourself! I need to try this again. My motto of "fake it 'til you make it" starts tomorrow. I will post my starting weight tomorrow (Wednesday), which is my weigh-in day. Thanks for taking me back, hopefully..... Let me know if I have burned this bridge.
Thanks, Lisa

Wednesday Weigh-In (Starting weight for September): 207.6
I logged my food yesterday and stayed within my calorie budget. This morning I woke up really hungry. This is going to be something that I have to get used to again, as I haven't been "hungry" for almost two months!!2 -

That sounds lovely. Last year you set up a mini weight loss challenge for the team. Can you remind me what is was exactly?Hey, there, Downsizers.

I didn’t end up going to the pool. I am hoping to go today. My granddaughters friend forgot her bathing suit so I am hoping one of Norah’s old ones will fit her. Maybe they will come and watch me swim if it doesn’t. If we don’t go I will get some mini walks in throughout the day.
