Quick look-in before bed. We went to my nephew's Communion this morning and then spent the rest of the day eating, drinking and laughing with family. It's been a lovely day.
So far this week I have stayed on target with, I have kept up with my logging and squat challenge. My water intake needs improvement. I'm going to try a limited meal prep next week - lunches. I believe I can prep 2 different lunches for us if I put my mind to it.
And as it looks like tomorrow will be another dry day, I will take to the forest again for a None2Run - Week 3 Day 1.
Good night, Friends!3 -

Well, this week has flown by! I have been enjoying the squat challenge and mostly keeping up with logging. Yesterday got kind of out of control, but back on track today. Jasper and I had an excellent workout, I did the squats, Pilates, and 30 minutes on the exercise bike. It was a rainy day, so I had a reprieve from the garden
I'm doing better after a few chaotic weeks on the food front. Back to my happy zone where I eat more vegetables than anything else, take it easy on fat, get just enough protein without going too crazy, and avoid grains, especially flour. I made a killer batch of strawberry-mango sorbet today - I was glad to get through dinner with enough calories left to indulge! It has lots of fibre and no fat, and even though it has sugar in it, I can always stop after one helping. Ice cream is banished from the house - it is much harder to control. I'm also getting greens from the salad garden now, so lunchtime salads are wonderful. It's a long wait until I have ripe tomatoes from the garden, but my plants are looking good so far.
Let's go for a strong week 2!3 -
Friday weigh in (late)

CW 218.8 Little by little in the right direction!
Today was my birthday 🥳. I turned 60. Not sure how. Lol 😂 Coffee outside this am. Read a book. Planted in my garden. Dinner with family. A REALLY lovely day.
I have a finalist interview on Monday. They’ve check my references and have me meeting with HR. So here’s hoping I have a new job soon.
My steps have been strong this week. I was sick last week but went to dr on Monday and got a z-pack. All better now but hubby has it.
Logged many times. So small improvements each week. Moving in the right direction.
Finished school yesterday. I’ll have to catch up on the posts later. Falling asleep now.
Here’s a picture my granddaughter took of me after dinner tonight. She’s a pretty good photographer for a six year old.

Sunday weigh-in
PW - 189.2
CW - 188.5
I'm delighted to be back in the green - even if it's just a little bit.
Heading out for my forest Walk/Run.2 -
@micki48 Happy 60! A bit late, but I've got 10 years on you, so you know I'm slow
Your adorable granddaughter does indeed take a terrific photo - and even though she's behind the camera, you can sure tell she loves her grandmother 
I hope the best for your interview tomorrow - it sounds promising. And congrats on your progress getting back to logging, moving, and losing! It sure is hard sometimes, and celebrating even the smallest steps gets you through. Take a bow!2 -
Happy birthday @micki48!! I hope you had a great day!! And yes, good luck on the final interview.
@YinxFed excellent job getting out and running again today! I am just about finished letting my breakfast settle and will get out and walk/jog myself!
My plan for today other than going for a walk in a few minutes, is to weed in my gardens and around the mailbox some. They grow fast when we get so much rain! I am also planning on crocheting a little more this afternoon as well. I have planned/prepped my breakfasts and lunches for the work week. I do have a work dinner this Wednesday, so I need to eat light during the day to help with that. Also, that will make me miss my body pump class, so I will either need to walk on lunch or make myself get up at 6am to walk. I used to be able to get up and exercise before work but it is a struggle now.2 -

Happy belated 60th @micki48 - you are absolutely glowing. You look like you had a nice night out celebrating. Hoping for the great news that you deserve on the job front.
Things are good here but it's COLD! It was 0 degrees C last night as an overnight low... we were too cold for a campfire even. Anyway, it's supposed to be a bit nicer today. We will return from the campground a bit earlier today as I have a concert with a friend tonight.2 -
