Today
8.4k steps
Lots of liquids (meds dehydrated me and I felt it on my kidney, so no more allergy meds)
Calories are a bit under. Had too many carbs. Went out for coffee with the kids. I split carrot cake into 3 so I had a small amount.
Had a good day. I’ll post pictures of historical place when my friend comes next week. Then I’ll be going into the old part of the city.
Love the doggie pictures. This is an old but fave for two of my girls.

Thanks, that did not show up on my feed. I've looked a few times.
I've noticed if the results come up small sometimes if you reload the page it will come up larger. I'm nearsighted but in my 50s so when it comes up tiny I can't see anything.0 -

Is it too late to be an active member for July? If not, I think my weigh-days were Fridays and my SW would be 266.2
Thank you for good wishes, my surgery went fine and I've healed up well. I'm back to both jobs which makes my bank account happy. I'm not completely released for lifting heavy stuff or swimming but that should change in a couple weeks. I'm very happy to be up and moving again though. It feels good.
My Dr was able to prescribe wegovy to me and I was actually able to fill it. I'd been on saxenda but it's super hard to find; I could never find it for more than a month or two and I'd have to stop. I'm only on my first week but I'm looking forward to the food noise going away. I think outside of losing weight, that's the best part. No food noise.
@ bethanie0825 @trooworld I entered your weight and will let them know you're active again, thanks!2 -

PLEASE WEIGH IN NOW: @AyaTheTyga @rjv230 @bark2j5
Reminder to weigh in tomorrow to the following: @DrewsAnna0 -
Welp, I had to go sit at my daughter's work place until she got off work. A guy showed up asking common sense questions repeatedly. It bothered her so off I went. I had to shift my whole schedule for today. She's worth it.4

@Cornanda ty and Vannie are still the goofballs that keep me laughing♥️
@TeresaW2024 I am so glad that you were able to get something for dear Maggie Mae that wasn't the cone of shame. I can't resist ice cream, but I found a great substitute at Costco. Chocolate ice cream is my thing and these organic fudge bars are amazing.
@trooworld I am so glad that today went so much better. That picture of Daisy and Violet melts my heart! They cuddle!!
@Txcritter69 I am so sorry that you are struggling with diesel being gone, it is amazing how they are just part of our heart. Big hugs being sent to you!
@vegan4lyfe2012 that Fourth of July celebration sounds like so much fun! It's always good to know what your limits are
@Ambersway I love that picture of your dogs!
I actually made it to spin class this morning, I just about talked myself out of it lol. It was a super busy day, I went to spin class, then did some cleaning, grocery shopping and was going to cook up dinner for the next few nights but by the time I got home and got both of the dogs walked I didn't have time for any cooking🤣. I am really looking forward to the day I can walk the dogs together! I did a distance agility class with Vannie this afternoon, we're getting quite good at it. I am too slow to keep up with her as she runs the course, she is so dang fast!
I am exhausted, I did 19,275 steps thus far today. I am now going to pass out on the couch, hope everyone had a great day!
These two still fight over the tiniest ball🤣

@vegan4lyfe2012 I love that photo of the 5 of you, so precious! Interesting I'm sure your friend was very inspiring, she sounds like a great person to hang out with for you! I tend to eat fast too. Enjoy the fireworks!
@megnolia82 Happy Canada Day and anniversary!
@AustinRuadhain Yikes I'm so glad you're okay, that sounds pretty scary! I like your plans for the week.
@laurelfit57 I hope the spin class goes well and you like the instructor. You sound like you're doing great! Those fudge bars look amazing! You got a lot done today! Your pups are too cute together!
@AmbersWay Oh no I hope you're starting to feel better when you read this! I love that no matter what is going on you haven't disappeared and you've been through some tough stuff since you've joined the group. Ugh going back to low carb after eating “normal” is a tough one, I hate those cravings. Great job portioning the carrot cake! What a beautiful pic of your pups!
@Cornanda Happy Tuesday!
@TeresaW2024 Love your advice to Jennifer I needed to hear that too! It's a tough week with the 4th, hope you avoided the ice cream at Aldi's! I've been eating dessert the last couple nights and froze half of it today.
@trooworld Yay I'm so glad the convention was better yesterday. Aw too cute on the pug! I hope you share pics of the meditation garden sounds very cool! Aw are these the same two that used to fight? I LOVE this! Hey you're the one who recommended The Women by Kristin Hannah right? I just started it and it's real familiar but just came out this year, feels like I read it a few years ago but had a publisher year as this year.
@bethanie0825 I'm so glad your surgery is behind you and you're healing well and back at work. I hope the wegovy goes well for you.
@txcritter69 I'm so sorry you're having a tough time, thank goodness he'll be back soon. I hope you got the exercise in it may cheer you up a bit.
@FushiaKat Great to see you! Happy Independence Day! Sounds like a fun way to watch fireworks, I've done that in Tahoe where we climbed a mountain to watch fireworks. I've been eating a lot of cherries too, it's hard not to eat a lot of fruit in summer! Hey cherries aren't here for that long enjoy them while you can (it's not ice cream right?).
@19shmoo69 Where is your daughter working? Yep your daughter is worth it, you never know, I vote for trusting instincts and being careful.
Hi team! Had my surgeon appointment this morning, he thinks I have another auto immune issue but I need a referral from my primary and couldn't get even a phone appt for 6 weeks. I wish I didn't have stuff where I had to keep dealing with the medical system but if it could help my pain issues I'll find a way. We're in the middle of a heat wave, it was 107 today and will be warmer tomorrow. I have my niece kitty here for the week, not looking forward to the 4th with three scared kitties! Have a great night and wonderful Wednesday.2 -
@19shmoo69 You are a good dad!
@laurelfit57 Those fudge bars look so good. I need to go to Costco! Vannie and Ty look like they are kissing, but really, they are in an epic tug-of-war with a tiny ball.
@Katmary71 That is so frustrating that you can even talk to your doctor for 6 weeks! In the meantime, are you able to manage your pain? Ugh the heat! I keep telling myself that this is summer, and it is what it is. One time, when I was a kid living in Bakersfield, I stayed the night with my cousin, and for some unknown reason, I didn’t have any shoes. The next day, we had to walk back to my house, which was several blocks away, and it was well over 100 degrees. We shared one pair of flip-flops and kept switching them on our feet. I guess my cousin didn’t own another pair of shoes so we could have our own.
Good morning! Not much going on here today. I will do a workout and do some housework, but that is it. I just saw on the news how many people will be traveling on July 4th, and I can’t think of doing anything worse. I’m home until church on Sunday, which works fine for me. I failed my 24-hour fast yesterday but plan to try again today. It’s OK to do hard things! Ya’ll have a good day.

@bethanie0825 I see @Katmary71 added you back, I'm glad you didn't have to wait until August. Thanks, @Katmary71 for doing that. But I really think you can still join? I'm glad your surgery went well! That's great your doctor prescribed you wegovy, I've heard good things about it. Good luck with getting it.
@txcritter69 Thank you, me too! Thanks, it was great. I'm so sorry about your mental state right now. Is there anything you can do to take care of yourself mentally in this state? For me, some things that help are: journaling, online distraction (like going on Pinterest and making boards or going down rabbit holes on Reddit), crafts, reading, making lists, going for a walk. Big hugs.
@vegan4lyfe2012 It is! Thank you. Yes, it truly made my day to see that pug lol. And they gave me the cutest sticker of that pug who was wearing a gold chain and a jean jacket lol. The garden was nice but there were a lot of people there so it wasn't as peaceful as I had hoped. But still nice! Thank you, those are my babies!!! I'm sorry you learned the hard way about your ankle. The fireworks event sounds fun! I hope you have a great time. Happy Independence week!
@FushiaKat That sounds like a nice way to watch the fireworks.
@littlebabekitty Congrats on the loss!
@AmbersWay Great step count. I love the pic, wow that's a beautiful place you are in.
@laurelfit57 Thank you, me too! I know, isn't it a precious pic? Great job with the spin class. That will be nice when you can walk them together. I can't walk my dogs together but my husband can. Go, Vannie!!! Wow, that's a lot of steps. What a funny pic!
@Katmary71 Thanks, me too! I do have some pics I'll share. You would have loved it. Yes they do get along better now (but still occasionally fight). I did recommend The Women. Yes, it was just published this year, that is interesting that you feel like you have read it already! Can you get on a cancellation list for the primary? I hope you can get in sooner. 107!!! NO! That's too hot lol.
@TeresaW2024 I'm not going anywhere, either lol. 24 hours is really, really hard to do so I don't blame you for trying again today, good luck!
Hi all. My day with my friend was really nice. The meditation garden was really pretty, it was right on the ocean. There were a lot of people there, I didn't expect that considering it was during the week, but it was still enjoyable. We went to lunch and I had a Mediterranean wrap that was low in calories. I felt like I needed something on the healthier side after eating at the convention. After that, we went down to the bay and walked around. It was a great day.

Good morning,
@vegan4lyfe2012 I have the same problem when it comes to getting too many steps in I fractured my ankle back when I was a kid and now it lets me know I over worked it. I used to try and keep up with all the high steppers in groups but in the end I was just hurting myself. Now my goal is 7000. anything over is icing on the cake. Have fun at the fireworks.
@AmbersWay Love the pic of your pups. Crazy how those allergy meds can mess with your body.
@19shmoo69 You are an AWESOME dad.
@laurelfit57 Thank you. Great job on the spin class. Just reading your day made me tired. Ty and Vannie are to cute.
@Katmary71 Thank you. 11 more days and he should be home unless she wants to keep him an extra week due to the first week of him not eating so he could not be trained. I hate the way insurance companies have you getting referrals for everything.
@TeresaW2024 That's a cute story about the shoes. There's no traveling here for us either.
Well, yesterday was a productive day in the end. I did not work out but did get my steps in cleaning our game/temporary storage room. It has been a mess for awhile now. I don't recognize the room when I walk in. it stops me in my tracks. Today is going to be a busy day of running around. So cutting this short. I need to get going.
Here is Diesels first video on place training. In the end he is so funny.

A Day before Thursday Ice Breaker Question
If you were an athlete, what would you choose as your walkout song?
Mine would be FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME by Pillar1 -
I had my first food temptation for the month on Monday. My sister and other fam wanted pizza for dinner. I said no. When it came, it smelt soo good, I had to go and get a whiff. I didn't eat any, I just enjoyed it through my nose. LOL! I had my usual chicken, potatoes, and veggies for dinner. I just hope the results of me missing out on yummy food show on the scale on Friday. 🤞
Hope you all are doing well at avoiding temptation as well.5 -
@AmbersWay – OMGoodness that desert! Cute doggies I can’t wait to see the pics next week!
@19shmoo69 – You are a good dad. Any time we get a gut feeling about someone, it’s usually true.
@laurelfit57 – Those two goofballs are hilarious!
@Katmary71 – Watching fireworks from a mountain sounds surreal! Sucks about the referral process. Maybe they’ll have a cancellation. Stay cool and hydrated! Good luck with the kitties.
@trooworld – What a hilarious pug sticker! Sorry about all the people at the garden, but glad you could still mainly enjoy it and so glad you got that time to connect with your friend. The pics are gorgeous! A Mediterranean Wrap sounds perfect while Oceanside
@txcritter69 – You definitely know my pain. My step goal is 6,000. I was only expecting pictures, not a super fun video! Yay for Diesel!
@lislisa123 – Fantastic job avoiding the Temptation Monster!
Day 3 and I’m still going strong with food choices. Wish my foot wasn’t such a disaster. Fingers crossed I manage my walk to the fireworks ok. Thankfully Oliver is only 14 pounds, so not difficult on my back to baby-wear him.
OMGoodness y’all. I’m sitting here on the computer listening to Byron playing…the noise he’s making…he sounds like the tomatoes from Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! I’m dying!!!
Hope everyone has a great evening and stays hydrated!

WEIGH-IN UPDATE
PLEASE WEIGH IN NOW:@AyaTheTyga @rjv230 @bark2j5 @DrewsAnna
Reminder to Weigh In tomorrow to the following: @askewcr0 -
@TeresaW2024 Yikes that's awful about the flip flops, your poor feet must've been burning! Hope today goes better with the fast!
@trooworld If it's a returning member they can return at any time, it's only new members that need to start at the beginning of the month. @bathanie0825 was still in the support area so I just have her moved back to active. I absolutely love that garden, wow! I bet it was perfect after being at the convention. I wish we had one!
@txcritter69 Aw I love seeing how good Diesel is doing with his training, thank you for sharing! It's amazing how much it mentally helps to clean a messy area, I'm trying to get my office space organized and having it cleaner has been great (just need to finish it).
@19shmoo69 You may remember this one from my feed with the question, there's no way I'd lose a fight walking out to this as the spirits of my ancestors would rise and help me annihilate my enemies! Or beat someone, lol!
https://youtu.be/BSNb1LXXk40?si=t1CcxvZvoWXSo2FD When Du Hast came out a bunch of my feed friends here and I were busting our records weightlifting to it.
@lisalisa123 Love the meme! I was just explaining to someone this hasn't been a “weight loss journey” but an entire life makeover for me. Great job staying away from the pizza that[s some serious willpower!
@vegan4lyfe2012 Thanks! I hope you'll be able to walk to the fireworks today and your foot isn't hurting too badly.
Hi friends. I worked out, got my allergy shot, then went to a clinic about 20 miles away and camped out in the waiting room and waited about 4 hours to get my referral. Turns out I need a bunch of blood tests first so I'm glad I went, I should get all the testing done in time for my scheduled appt in August and should be able to get in quick then. Heading out to dinner with a neighbor in 2 hours, we're having Chinese so I'm trying not to eat much now. Have a great night and wonderful Thursday!2 -
I will start by apologizing. Time has gotten away from me. The next two days will be tied up with holiday stuff and then I will be out of pocket for a week. I can check in from time to time but not often. Heck I even forgot to mention it to @trooworld and @Katmary71 . With all that said I need a volunteer to post a Thursday Ice Breaker Question next week.1

Hey y'all! I will do my weigh in tomorrow. I didn't get to do it this morning. I overslept and the window installers were early. I'm sorry, and I promise to do it in the morning.

Hi
My name is Darren
I am the partially hilarious and not so insightful motivator.
I have learned that i should stop viewing health, weight loss and fitness as a journey. So I am no longer on a journey to get to the right weight, fitness level or health aspect. I've been going down the journey plan many times. Once I almost reached the destination and like most journeys I took a pitstop. The pitstop made its way to a turn around, a break down or a huge distraction. Now I'm not traveling I'm living. In life I've incorporated several good choices that cannot be temporary.
So some of the team may know that I have a fear of dogs. I'm also not a pet person. With that said I gave in to my wife. My wife and daughter have acquired a puppy. Unfortunately just like the last one it was given away too young. It is what it is.
Such a cute puppy! What kind of dog is it? I haven’t been on much.0 -

@txcritter69 That's great you were able to clean the game/storage room. I bet that made you feel a lot better. Awww, dear Diesel looks like he's doing very well in training. Was he previously reactive when someone came to the door? We have that problem with our dogs. I'm glad you got to see him in action.
@lislisa123 Congrats on resisting that pizza. You are strong to be able to sniff it and not get any!
@vegan4lyfe2012 It's awesome lol. I put it on my water bottle. Oh yeah, we enjoyed it despite all the people! Thanks. You would have enjoyed the wrap, I think it was vegan. Good job with your food choices. I hope your ankle can hold out and you can enjoy the celebration. LOL Byron!
@Katmary71 Oh that's good to know. Thanks. Yeah that garden is gorgeous. It was perfect. I love your taste in music, that is a perfect song to walk out to and cool video! Are the allergy shots helping yet? I hope you enjoyed the Chinese food yum.
@19shmoo69 Enjoy your break! If nobody volunteers, I can do it.
@DrewsAnna I hope you like your new windows.
A Day before Thursday Ice Breaker Question: If you were an athlete, what would you choose as your walkout song? I would definitely choose "I'm Bad" by LL Cool J. When I dressed up for Halloween last year as DJ Dewey Decimal, I played that song when I walked into a room lol. I love it and I feel tough when I hear it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVDfyc2lh4Q
Hi all. Happy 4th of July to the Americans in the group! I don't have plans today, it's going to be a chill day. I will probably go for a walk somewhere but maybe not because there is a heatwave coming in today. We are grilling today, we are having BBQ Pineapple Chicken Kabobs (https://damndelicious.net/2018/07/03/bbq-pineapple-chicken-kabobs/ ) and one of our favorite recipes, Avocado and Lump Crab Salad (https://www.skinnytaste.com/avocado-and-crab-salad/ ). I hope you have a great day!

@trooworld The meditation garden is gorgeous! You truly live in such a beautiful place.
@txcritter69 It’s always nice to get a room clean and organized. Diesel looks great!
@lislisa123 Great job in resisting that pizza! I love that graphic!
@vegan4lyfe2012 I hope you have a wonderful 4th and enjoy the fireworks.
@Katmary71 Yikes, waiting four hours is awful, but at least you found something useful. I hope you enjoyed your Chinese food and time with your neighbor. Wow, that song you posted is wild. I can totally see that being a good weightlifting song.
Good morning! Well, I only lasted 20 hours yesterday. I was going to push through, but my pastor came over yesterday to fill out paperwork concerning our property taxes. He was here for two hours, so I’m glad I decided to eat before he came, or my stomach would be growling. We had my four-year-old great-niece stay the night, and that was fun. Here is a picture of Maggie in her little leg sleeve that I call her scrubs. Please ignore how scruffy she is looking. I did trim around her eyes, or she would look even worse.

Fourth of July is going to be tough to get through. We are having burgers tonight. All I can think is salt/water retention and I weigh in tomorrow. 😨 Anyway, if anyone needs an incentive to not overeat today here it is:
