    @deepwoodslady Donna, You don’t have to go to a restaurant, you can pack a “good for you” (YAY!) meal in a small cooler and avoid all of those bad choices. I do meat and cheese roll ups with a little mayo. I even put a strip of pickle in them the first time I traveled with them. I wasn’t particularly happy about the TSA agent giving them a hard squeeze but other than having the juice squeezed out, they were great and very satisfying.

    @quiltingjaine Of course I could travel with a cooler. But being from a small Amish town with virtually nothing, I must admit I do look forward to that occasional restaurant meal since traveling is about the only time we really get the opportunity to get something out, often trying some place new. A break from preparing food too is also nice. There was a time in my life that I actually looked forward to having surgery or being in the hospital just to get prepared food, sad but true, lol. I do, however, bring my approved snacks on extra-long trips. I refuse to buy any junk from the gas stations or rest stops.

    @quiltingjaine I am so sorry to hear about Oscar. At least you'll know he won't be suffering or in pain, but that still doesn't make it easier

    Round 261 Posts
    This is my posting format….

    Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed.
    / Logged Food - yesterday; Exercise – yesterday; water - yesterday / Comment

    Previous posts:

    5/26: 221.6
    /logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
    I never really hit my water goal. Try harder maybe?

    DGS had a big day yesterday. His first base hit (coach pitch) in youth baseball. It’s been a long time coming. 😊 Then right to a birthday party in the park with his friends. He’s big stuff now. Seven years old and leaving first grade in the dust.

    Did those potato chips really need to be polished off last night. Glorious salt and oil. Need to do better this round.

    5/27: 219.2
    /logged; exercised; 74 oz water/
    This drop really can’t be explained. Other than that my body is a water balloon.

    DW and I broke out the bikes yesterday. We need to be somewhat ready for our mountain get-away with friends in July. She has an e-bike which will help her keep up with us on the sloped bike trails. I’m jealous, but happy for her. Naturally, I have a sore butt this morning. I will use that to remind me to do something active today.

    Tossing a chicken on the smoker today some time.

    5/28: 221.6
    /logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
    Had a good active day yesterday. Although for some reason MFP did not pick up on it. Chicken turned out good. Played cards at friend’s in the evening. Although I stayed on budget, the drinks and salty snacks were the wrong kind of calories.

    5/29: 220.4
    /logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
    A little short on thoughts this morning…

    Part of my entertainment yesterday was watching the neighbor behind get a new roof. There were 15 people up there doing the tear off. Looked like an ant hill. They started by 7:30 am and were all finished by 7:00 pm, including new gutters. Nobody was tied off. I had the cell phone ready to call 911. I didn’t use the binoculars except to check if one of the workers was drinking a beer or a Pepsi. It was Pepsi.

    Just call me Mr. Kravitz. (anyone get the reference?)

    5/30: 220.4
    /logged; exercised; 70 0z water/
    Up way too early this morning. I am below SW, but the average is up.

    Food choices the next two days will be up for grabs with DBIL coming to fish with me. When I am fishing, I don’t really like to eat. And I don’t drink enough. I say, “I will take a drink after this next cast..” Then I repeat. I am like a Border Collie when I am on the water.

    When I come off the water I am famished. I have been known to drag my boat through a fast food drive-through. So unwise. It works best to have an apple.

    5/31: 219.4
    /no logging; plenty of exercise; 64 oz water/
    Avoided the fast food. And I avoided any large fish. :/ Trying again today.

    6/1: 220.4
    /no logging; plenty of exercise; 70 oz water/
    Back to logging today. Not too much damage done while fishing. In fact the functional exercise was great.

    On a side note, my dog munched from the kitty litter box at the groomer on Wednesday. I think that might be why she has the Hershy Squirts. Gross. DW took a sample to the vet yesterday. Awaiting results. She is locked in the laundry room until further notice. This last paragraph qualifies as TMI, but I just needed to talk to someone about it. HA! Sorry.


    6/2: 221.2
    6/3: 220.4
    /no logging; exercised; lots of water/
    Very busy. Dog still not well, but showing signs of wellness. We put her on an intermittent fasting diet. 24/0. This may be changed soon. 😊


    5/25: 221.6
    SW on day before this round.

    6/4: 221.2
    Disappointing but well deserved ending to the round. Too much freelance eating.

    @quiltingjaine I am so sorry to hear about Oskar.

    I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

    @quiltingjaine My heart aches for you. When we had to put our 14 year old golden retriever to sleep from cancer, I kept thinking how in the world could we make this decision, and then realized that it was not a "decision" we were making, we had no choice out of our love for him and not wanting him to suffer any longer. No words really help, but I am so sorry. <3
