Hope everyone starts feeling better for the upcoming week!5 -
Hello LA friends:
DH and I will be heading out to camp in our 2020 travel trailer in a few days, and I can’t wait to leave town for a nearby lake. The water levels are full again! Also will take long walks and ride bikes in the sunshine.
In the past several years I have imbibed every day on a camp trip, I.e. mimosas and white wine. Will be scaling back this time, and this year. Energy levels are way better with less alcohol!
Last night, I actually drove to my store at 6:00 pm to pick up a bottle of Kendall Jackson low calorie Chardonnay (85 calories and 9% alcohol). Had a good sized glass of this and then a La Crema. Stayed at personal limit.
Planning for two AF days in a row before we leave!
Current:

AF days - 18-20

Tomorrow is weigh-in for the challenge group I’m in, and I’m nervous I didn’t lose and worse yet… I gained. I have been logging everything, and I can’t see why I wouldn’t lose weight… but I’m nervous all the same.5 -
@NonnieDoiron I always feel nervous the night before a weigh-in. I just remind myself that, if the weight didn't move or went up, and I did good work staying in my calorie range, there are a number of other things that could have caused it. Try to get a good night's sleep, and see what happens in the AM.4

Thanks. I apparently blew it last week. I am up 2.6 lbs from the last weigh-in. 🙁 We ate at a few locally owned restaurants that don’t have nutritional menus, so I must not have logged those calories correctly. I didn’t even drink though.
I’ll just have to work twice as hard this week to lose weight. No exceptions this week… no eating out and stick to the calorie count.5 -

@NonnieDoiron that's a bummer that you went up, but it sounds like you're planning a successful follow-up week. Good job on avoiding the drinks when you were out.
I did really good yesterday - we spent the last three days power washing the driveway (a big driveway, and a pain to power wash), and normally I would celebrate something like that with a drink. But I went to the store and bought NA beer instead. Had three bottles last night and three left for tonight. And like last night, will switch out to herbal tea before sleeptime.

Tonight's tea is a roobios blend called jet lag that is good for sleep.3 -

Morning all,
Now that the frost and rain are gone, I planted my garden beds this week. I started seeds in my greenhouse for the first time ever in Feb. and they came up great. Blue lake green beans, tomato varietals, zucchini squash, sunflowers and herbs 🪴. Now let’s hope they continue doing well in the beds. Gardening is therapeutic for me and we love to pick and cook fresh veggies all summer.
Ready to take off for our camp trip soon! Packed lots of AF sparkling flavored waters and grapefruit and lime Fever Tree. As well as two bottles of wine - one low calorie and one regular. In my past, I would have packed a lot more. But, my goal this week is to stay within or close to calorie limits, get extra exercise outside and also have 2-3 AF nights on this getaway.
I had two unplanned glasses of Chardonnay last night while packing!

Well… my AF streak may come to an end tonight.
My mother-in-law passed out in a puddle of her own vomit yesterday morning and had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance where she underwent emergency surgery for acute aortic dissection which was so bad it completely closed up the carotid to the left side of her brain resulting in no blood flow. The surgery was a success, but she’s in very poor health as it is and the cardiac surgeon is pessimistic at best about a full recovery.
My husband does not deal well with things like this, so I have to be on full alert for him. And, my brother-in-law came into town, and he’s just a pain in my butt and thinks he knows everything and is so funny. He’s also someone who thinks the worst of people and assumes the doctors aren’t telling us everything even though they straight up told us that my MIL may not make it.
Past 24 hours have been incredibly trying for me. Husband, BIL, and hubby’s BFF are going out tonight with a couple other of hubby’s friends for a boys’ night that was planned last week before everything happened. So, it’s just me and the kids at home tonight. I’m tired and stressed… frozen pizza and wine could very well be my best friends tonight. 🥴12
