Recap 7/22 M ~ beautiful day, a bit warmsy
1) Walked dog 3.96 mi
happy dog & happy me
2) Log all food / no crazy snacking / 80 oz. water
3) Clean Kitty's hallway / usual Mon. garbage collection chores / put away all the clean dishes / read / other? finance chores TA-DA!
JFT 7/23 T ~ rain & thunderstorms last night and off/on all day, so far 1" in the rain gauge
1) Log all food / no crazy snacking / 80 oz. water
2) PT exercises
3) Call Mom / read / other?
We got a call this morning that the veterinarian we've had for almost all of the dog's life, and Kitty just as long, is moving away to another practice. We're scheduled for an appt with her for the dog this week, so that's ok. But we've had to reschedule for a new vet next month for Kitty. Since cat is on special diet, and we've had some concerns, we need to check into that with outgoing vet this week. Makes me nervous to change after 11 years, but I'm sure all will be fine (is what I'm telling myself). They're like our children... we've had both dog & cat for 12 years in Sept.

2024 Goals:1) Ultimate goal weight 150#... I'll be thrilled if I can get back down to 160# this year- Post weekly weigh-in on MFP for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I track daily on a separate app (for the visual). My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
- Take measurements & log on MFP every month end
- Try new recipes Unfortunately, no wall oven until mid-Feb or later & sad me, but try slow cooker & stove recipes... wall oven installed 2/26 but no new recipes yet.
* lentil rice sausage tortellini soup (internet) ~ very good, recipe is keeper
* glazed lemon cookies (internet search) ~ everyone loved them at Easter dinner
* rhubarb cobbler (in my first ever cookbook BH&G) ~ very good, I want to try with other fruits this summer
* yellow cake (BH&G cookbook) ~ I followed instructions closely & blended well, very good with rhubarb sauce
* white chicken enchiladas (newspaper) ~ very good, although 2 tortillas with recipe as written 846 calories (created in MFP recipes)
* Greek yogurt almond butter breakfast parfait (newsletter) ~ terrific, if high in calories... maybe tweak
* garlic scape basil pesto (internet blog) ~ excellent! tried as recommended with pasta (used up my radiatore)
* summer squash, zucchini, mushroom casserole (TOH) ~ excellent! & good way to use squash & zucchini
* zucchini meatloaf (sister) ~ good but hubby prefers classic recipe

Stepped out of my comfort zone yesterday and attended a town meeting. I don't do joining groups at all, so hope this works out. It's to try and clean up our town, there is no money for things like litter picking, weeding and cleaning any more so volunteers are needed. And...I walked there and back instead of driving

Have a funny dog story for you all aswell😂
We were all upstairs doing various things, girls in their bedroom watching TV, Ash in the bath, I was speaking to Ash and Casey was downstairs.
She then comes upstairs and Ash offers the bath for her as she was getting out and it was still hot.
So she jumped in, I've come down the stairs to start dinner some time later and the dogs on the stairs. Ive told him to go down, he wouldn't? I said go down again and he went down one step and stopped. Basically being really peculiar.
As I've got down further I realise his lead is on and someone's put the leash handle over the top of the bannister post.
Casey apparently was playing "walk the dog" in the lounge. 😂 She's then come up to us, we've said get in the bath and she's forgot he was there 😂😂😂 he must have been there for atleast 20 mins. Gave him a treat, couldn't even tell Casey off. I was going to, I said "who's done this, that's really mean!" But when I found out she was playing with him I couldn't be mad lol3 -
Hour commitment - I won’t eat again until dinner. But can have more cucumber & celery & bell pepper, if I want.3
-
Need to start logging again, I'm not getting anywhere.
I'm not exactly calorie counting anymore, but I am going to do it as a backup. So even if I stray from the diet plan, if I'm still within calories then it should still work?
Either way I'm hoping it will keep me more mindful. No gym today. Me and Ash are knackered. He's got a sore forearm, I've got a sore leg. I tried the leg press yesterday but after one set I knew I should stop. Still fatigued from the other day so just need to rest. So yesterday we did chest, I can only lift the bar at the minute 😂 which I thought was pretty lame at first UNTIL I saw the bar itself weighs 20kg!! So then I didn't feel so bad about it lol3 -
Oh yeah so goals for today
1) Drink more water, atleast 6!
2) Log all food!
3) No unhealthy snacks! I've got nuts, I've got fruit so theres no excuse!2 -

Gosh, cutting the grass was hard yesterday. It was long and a little damp, the collection box on the mower is faulty, and I got stung by a wasp. It should have taken a little under an hour, but it was almost all afternoon (with a break to ice the wasp sting). Then the rain started before I'd finished clearing up. So glad I got it mostly done, but was much too sore to walk as well.

I only wish the pounds came off quicker, it's hard sticking to such low calories! I eat around 1200 - 1400 a day.

Was fine all day, and then snacked in the evening. I don't even know why.
Not feeling the love for dieting today, but will try my best. Missed my morning cuppa as was needed for a small vet emergency. Just got back home at 11am after taking cat home. It's wet out so thinking I should do my tax return, I know I've said that before lol.
