    I guess not too bad, considering it was a quick weekend of car travel, snacks and eating out... :)

    If anyone sees anything strange during the eclipse, let your spooky UFO obsessed friend here know okay? I wish I could go see it, but my friends back home in Texas and Oklahoma are trying to cover it for me a bit. :-P

    Any tips for getting through a weight plateau? It doesn't seem to budge even with planned meals and exercise. Hmm.

    @Itadakimasu7 - I wish I had advice for you about what to do when we plateau. I think we have to keep going until we get to a downhill slope. Hang in there!

    @DaffyGirl88 Thanks! What a shame you never got any bees. I really enjoy watching them and it is super busy every year. Feeding them is also awesome. I love helping animals in my garden, though I am not really happy with my backyard. It is a lot of work to keep things tidy. I planted flower seeds last year, but I mostly got a bunch of mustard. I want to try again this summer, but I still have to clear out all the dead plants. I should try to do that soon. I have always wanted to watch a caterpillar turn into a butterfly, but I almost never see caterpillars and I don't know anything about it so they are probably safer without my 'help'.

    I had pizza last night for my anniversary and I suspect it's water and menopause.

    @Itadakimasu7 Definitely water. There's a ton of sodium and carbs in pizza, both of which retain water.

    @cre804 Great picture. We had the chance to see the eclipse in totality as well.

    Hey yall. @pupowl, can you move me back to the team from support? I FINALLY got released to increase my activities. My step count cannot exceed 3500 to 4000 at the moment but since my surgical scar is closed and no longer draining, I'm excited. I return end of July for a follow-up. Hoping I can continue to increase my step count in the meantime.

    Just got back from a few days away to visit my son. He was in the path of totality for the eclipse, so my husband and I took our two big dogs to see our son. Experiencing the eclipse was amazing.

    I don't bring my computer with me when I travel, and it is hard for me to post/read the message boards on my phone:) i did better with the hotel breakfast than I usually do. For the nine hour drive there and back, we brought sandwiches and snacks instead of hitting the fast-food places.

    Tomorrow is my weigh-in day, so we'll see what the scale says. In any case, I feel good about this trip and how I handled eating healthier instead of my go crazy vacation mode eating.

    I’m glad you’re on the mend @Armygirlarmyof1! Good luck with the surgery @CasandraW. I hope you get some relief soon!

    So cool to be in the direct path to get such a perfect vantage point. We were driving back from a weekend rowing trip in Tennessee. So, it was fun to chat with some local residents as we shared our eclipse viewing glasses.

    I love all the yard wildlife stories and local photos. Thanks for sharing, everyone!

    @Armygirlarmyof1 That's great news! Of course we can get you moved back. Do you have a recent weigh in we can use as your starting weight? And will you keep Monday as your weigh in day? Thanks!

    Tuesday ~ April 9
    Good morning Shape Shifters. I had a pretty lazy rest day. My body was happy about it. I went to the giftshop to look for a book for my niece. She is having a birthday party on Sunday. My tiny village doesn't have all that much and I have no idea what books are good for a 7 year old, but I found something I thought would work. I sent a picture to my brother to make sure she didn't have it yet and he said it was a perfect choice so that's good. I read a lot and worked on my puzzle a bit. Happy Wednesday everyone <3

    Reflecting on each day is a good habit. Look back on today and tell yourself that you did the best you could. Be proud of yourself for those moments when you showed bravery or stepped out of your comfort zone. Even if things haven't panned out as you hoped, ask yourself, will you remember this day a year from now? If the answer is no, then let it go. Tomorrow is a new day, and with it comes new challenges and possibilities.
