today was green
total 14/27
After a few super stressful weeks at work I finally wrapped up the majority of the project that was the cause and I'm taking tomorrow off. I haven't worked out this week at all and I feel like a jittery mess from stress! I'm going to try to sleep in and maybe lift in the morning. It's a me day!
@Laughter_Girl thanks for the getting to goal suggestions! I think I've gotten a little too 'guessy' w my logging too. I used the recipe builder feature tonight and realized I would have waaaay underestimated my snack! I may have to play around w stuff a bit, go back to basics etc.
@jenthibert. ... 12 mile walk?! Amazing training!!! Did you say you walk w a group? How long did that take? You will be Soooo ready for October!
@ r_queenie halfway! Woot! Love our group!

I ran on the treadmill today, but I ate like a pig. My streak has come to an end, but I'll try again tomorrow. :-)
@Rebamae Happy Anniversary!! May you and your hubby be blessed w/49 more years together.0 -
16th: ✔️
@Rebamae - happy 49 years, a fabulous achievement, your profile picture is lovely, you must have been a young bride LOL you have wonderful young genes. Also a wonderful NSV - smaller sizes are always a fab measure of success.
@Laughter_Girl - you're a great support on this thread
@bbinboa - gymboss chatter is making me smile
@MelissaPhippsFeagins - glad your family are safe and well. I loved camping with YP before I retired. I still camp with family and friends.
@R_Queenie - I need to lift my mind out of the gutter - streaking and nakedness just seem to go together in my mind, like strawberries and cream.
Edited to take out an extra bracket in the code!!0 -
7/16 - green, Chevy (my family dragged me to Sonic for ice cream and my green was saved only by the need to move a bunch of stuff in the storage building today.)

Streak:13
@Rebamae Happy Anniversary
@bbinoa I took a stress day from work today too. I'm tired of cleaning up other people's messes. I'd rather mow my lawn....

Happy Fabulous Friday
Thank you for the anniversary wishes. My leg is still hurting a lot, so we celebrated as Hubby went to our small Mexican restaurant in town and brought our dinner home. He had a beer and I had a glass of tea with our dinners.
I did not deal with my pain by grazing the kitchen. Yea me!!
My stats:
green = 14*/31
red = 02
Streak = 1
Streak goal =10
I hope each of you have a fantastic Friday!!

Green? Yup.

Wanted a guilt-free date night of pizza and beer, went for 5-mile walk/run beforehand, but thought I'd still come out a little red and super bloated the next day. Added it up this morning - turned out green, and the scale read the lightest it has since 2011. I don't understand it but I'll take it.
@Rebamae Late to the party, but Happy Anniversary!
@bbinoa A you day. How delightful. Hope it's enjoyable and restorative!
@MelissaPhippsFeagins Don't you love it when bonus activity pops up to even things out?
@Laughter_Girl I don't know when I last saw you have a red day. It's good for us every once in awhile, right? Keeps the metabolism up and the feelings of deprivation down. Hope today is terrific!
Happy Friday, everyone!0 -

Ok, @MelissaPhippsFeagins. ... I'm blaming you for the sad state of my lawn, lol! I saw your post saying you were taking the day off too and were going to mow and I thought, what a great idea. I'll mow and surprise my hubby! I should add that I've mowed a lawn like 4x in my life. He's also super particular and mows at a diagonal to get these perfect lines. So I had great intentions, but our yard was high, and the grass super thick bc of all the rain we've had. The mower kept stalling out and getting stuck, there were HUGE piles of grass everywhere, and it looked like I'd pushed the mower blindfolded. Not a single straight line. Tons of bald spots on the lawn where I got it stuck, too
I finally ran out of gas (the mower and i) and DH came home to find me sitting on our porch w it half done. He did actually appreciate the attempt, and the neighbors enjoyed the comedic show. We eventually got it fixed too. On the plus side, I'll probably never be asked to mow!! 0 -

Green: No - Worse than yesterday.
Goal: 14/27
No exercise. Time got away from me. Thankfully, I'll be headed home tomorrow and can get back into my normal eating habits. I've had some delicious food while away, but it's time for some healthier choices. My salad for dinner was a good choice, but the popcorn prior to and the donuts following were not.
I plan to return to streaking effective tomorrow.0 -
7/17 - green, very (see lawn mowing, plus 40 minutes walking to the high school and back to see these
15/25 still streaking at 14
@2marsh - that happened to me so many times when I first started losing that I would intentionally eat more at the first sign of a stall.
@bbinoa - I don't know whether to apologize or not. LOL! Ours was getting really high in the back yard and we've had lots of snakes around this year. All of them green or back and harmless, but I am not as scared of them as my kids and would rather be the one who ruins into them. I only finished half of it though. There are some substantial tree limbs down on one side that in will need help moving this afternoon so that I can finish.0 -

Green? Nope, at least I don't think so. Didn't track.

Yesterday's 3 Rs: Red, Rest, and Recovery. It was awesome. I gently ate what I felt like without going crazy, and stayed up way too late doing wedding crafts and binge-watching HBONow. Delightful.
@bbinoa That totally cracked me up. Getting credit for helping and also never having to mow again? Really, it sounds like a net win.
@MelissaPhippsFeagins Those BALLOONS! How cool!
@Laughter_Girl Hope you enjoy your return home today.
@jenthibert Barely green is still green!!0 -

green today

So hot and humid here. Really icky. Did my long run at the gym on the treadmill today. Kind of boring but at least I didn't risk passing out!
@jenthibert nice NSV with the smaller sizes. That's great!
@MelissaPhippsFeagins, those balloons were awesome. Festival of some sort?
@2marsh how long til the wedding?
@Laughter_Girl hope you had a good trip back!0 -

Thanks ladies for the warm travel wishes. I'm glad to be back at home, and tomorrow I can get back to my normal routines. I was able to enjoy an hour long bike ride today, which was great.
@MelissaPhippsFeagins Great balloons! That looks like fun and definitely worth the walk.
@bbinoa Glad you were able to get your run done on the treadmill. I did that the other day in the hotel, and it felt awkward, but I was glad I was able to do it. We're committed to getting ready for October.
@jenthibert Congrats on the new shoes and clothes! It's such a wonderful feeling to be able to purchase a smaller size. Yay!
@Rebamae Hope you had a wonderful day!
@2marsh I hope your Saturday was fantastic! Also, I really liked the 3 R's. 0 -

@jenthibert Yay new sneaks! It really can make such a difference. Also yay for smaller sizes!
@bbinoa Glad you got through the treadmill long one. I have to do so many of mine that way that I'm kinda used to it, but I know it can be rough. The wedding isn't until next June, but I'm starting grad school (again!) in August, so I'm trying to get as much done beforehand as possible.
@Laughter_Girl Thanks! It WAS a great day. Lots of family time. Hope yours was great, too!
@Rebamae Oooo, the streaker is coming baaack!!!

@jenthibert congrats on smaller clothes. I need new sneakers, but tax free weekend for clothing is the first week in August, so I am waiting.
@bbinoa - yes, the balloons were here for Funfest, which is a 40 summer festival with stuff for kids and concerts and yummy food vendors and also the Crazy 8s Road Race, which had the world's fasted 8k until 2 years ago. Last night the Band Perry performed and we had fireworks for the finale.
@Rebamae - glad the streaking is paying off in scale movement downward. Way to go!
@2marsh - good luck juggling school and wedding planning.

Green, yep!
Total 17/27.
Finally saw the scale moving downward again after a month. Yippee! I usually access MFP on my phone but was on it from my computer yesterday. Has anyone else looked at the reports tab? I was comparing my weight loss trends and when I saw the most downward trend to my calorie intake. Good stuff.
Sounds like everyone has had a good weekend... lots of green, new smaller clothes, lower scale numbers (teens!) sweaty runs, streaking, travelling, balloons, wedding planning... did I miss anyone? Happy Sunday all!
Ps... the yard now looks fantastic - ha!0 -

18/25 (somewhere along the way I lost count, but it's actually 18 days, not 17. I think I counted a Chevy day as a red.)

@bbinoa - I haven't used it as much at maintenance but I love the reports tab. Think I'll go check it out again.

Saturday and Sunday - feel like I've cheated. Green days and a scale drop. Picked up a bug from my 7 mth old grandson and literally spent the weekend in bed sleeping, feeling nauseous, and certainly unable to eat! DH at the side of me with a diluted symptoms. So I wasn't even being nursed and nurtured!
I've actually managed to have my porridge this morning but I don't feel up to my Pilates class or doing any strength training.
[
@Rebamae - excellent news of a scale victory! Green streaks seem to be the way to go!!!
@Laughter_Girl - glad your back home and getting out on your bike
@bbinoa - a bloke trick with the lawnmower I think, LOL, to do a task soooooo badly . . . . we rarely get chance to turn the tables. Congrats on your scale victory . . . . . and a better looking lawn. I checked the reports - hadn't realised it had changed . . . preferred the look of net calories to calories though.
@jenthibert - new walking shoes (old ones worn out by exercise) AND smaller clothes (old ones surplus can't be worn out due to shrinking body) . . . . a great NSV
@MelissaPhippsFeagins - what fab balloons! Excellent green streak too.
Hope everyone had a good weekend.
ETA: streak currently at 70 -
Good morning on this Marvelous Monday!
We had a very strong wind storm come through last night. There was an actual hook on the radar so we are thinking more than just straight-line winds
We are very fortunate that we only lost tree limbs. 
Lots of cleaning up for my guys today. We had limbs in our yard from a tree about 200 feet west.
All of the electricity poles south of us were broken for 3/4 mile. More down on south and east of us. Many farms are without electricity today. We are fortunate ours came back on before we went to bed.
So, that is my excuse for mindless eating last night.
I stayed green but oh so very close to seeing red.
green = 17*/31
red = 02
Streak = 4
Streak goal =10
I hope each of you have a marvelous Monday.
