    07/02-185.4-(Trend Weight: 186.3)- Yesterday was a good day and it reflects on the scale this morning. Sometimes it doesn’t show up right away, even with the best efforts so I was grateful to see a better number. Last night the food monster named Mr. Chocolate came out in full force. This time I won. I told myself quite clearly and TRUTHFULLY that another square of my 70% dark cocao chocolate was not going to satisfy me. I would just want more, and then more and then more, more, more, more, more, more. All another square (or two or four) would do is stop me from making any progress this morning on the scale. What it would NOT do is scratch my itch as the cravings NEVER EVER end. I mean, even when I’m over-full I just want more. After reasoning with myself, I skipped the chocolate. I don’t always win this battle but last night I did. Let’s hope for more nights like that. I want to type in pink way more often in July. My June during other MFP challenges was mainly black and blue and I'm feeling very bruised over it.

    @RubyRed427 welcome back from OZ 🥂
    sounds like a wonderful 2 weeks

    We’ve some fun plans over the 4th weekend. We are playing trains at Train Mountain, Oregon with a group of friends from Ridgecrest, CA. They run mostly steam engines so it will be fun showing off our new electric engine. 🚂 🚂

    The weather is under Excessive Heat Watch so it’s up early than by noon we will be looking for shade. Also taking my swimsuit for afternoon swims at the motel.

    @DarinGettingHawtin2013 I like Monday WI but sometimes it's Wednesday
    Have a Great Week :-) 😊

    I am 6 lbs short of my goal of 149. I am just stuck. It's been too hot to walk outside which is not helping matters. I also need to remember portion control. All my out of town company is gone now and I have 2 more BBQ's to get through in the next 2 weeks, but there is always fruit and healthy options at these things. I just need to bypass the potato salad and other fattening things that I love.

I know the weight went on in leaps and bounds and will come off in pathetic little dribbles but at this point I truly appreciate any progress I can make. It feels good to be back on track. I just need to mix the exercise back in. It’s easy to be lazy on that front when you feel as out-of-breath and pudgy as I feel right now. I can actually feel every pound I put on at this point and I’m not real happy about that. I hope I can feel the improvement as I lose it back down.

    I'm Chris - 74 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
    ...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
    My husband and I are retired, however...we watch our Grandsons during the week. Collin is 18 months and is our Morning Duty. Ronan is in 2nd Grade and is our Afternoon Duty.
    I see my trainer for 60 mins three days a week and try to walk the other four days. The walking doesn't always work out. The boys can be exhausting...

    07/09-189.0-(Trend Weight: 187.6)- The 4 day holiday weekend really bit me in the behind. Back on track now and actually making progress. Yes, this number was worse (higher) yesterday. I know the weight went on in leaps and bounds and will come off in pathetic little dribbles but at this point I truly appreciate any progress I can make. It feels good to be back on track. I just need to mix the exercise back in. It’s easy to be lazy on that front when you feel as out-of-breath and pudgy as I feel right now. I can actually feel every pound I put on at this point and I’m not real happy about that. I hope I can feel the improvement as I lose it back down.

    07/16-188.8-(Trend Weight: 189.0)- A very small drop after a very good day. I got in extra steps when I lost my cat outside. I didn’t know she was in my attached garage and when I came home and opened the door she got out. She went into the woods and I followed her in difficult terrain but eventually lost her. She is a tortie so she was well camoflauged. She did eventually come back to the yard after about 90 minutes where she continued to run from me but I finally got her near her catio and managed to get her into it so I could lock her in. Maybe I shouldn’t have given her that extra special treat last night after the ordeal. She didn’t really deserve it but I was so happy she came back home even if she strung me along in the yard for awhile. And why does food always have to be a reward? Hmmm.
