Feeling tired but happy.

I thought it was Wednesday today, so I did my weigh in a day early. I am happy to report that I only gained 2.5 pounds on my gastronomic vacation, under the 4 pound goal I had set myself. I enjoyed every bite, but am glad to be back in my MFP routine!
I really appreciate all the nice comments about the photo I posted. It is a big deal for me. I have shied away from cameras for years and this is the first time I have actually been pleased enough with a photo to want to share it. Losing the fifty some pounds has made a big difference in my self image. I know I have a long way to go, but really believe I will make it.
NYKaren: congratulations on reaching your goal!
Cheri: congratulations on your loss!
Kelly: congratulations on the lost inches!
It is great that everyone is doing so well!
Michele: lovely dress!
Karen in VA: my one experience with airbnb was not positive. I was organizing travel for a group of six of us last summer and booked an airbnb in Portland, OR. We were trying to keep expenses down, so I booked early - at the beginning of February for a September rental. Come the beginning of August, I received a message saying that the rental was no longer available. I found myself scrambling for new accommodation at a time when all of the less expensive lodging was gone. I was furious.
Lanette: What lovely flowers!
Dana: One of my MFP friends recommended a strengthening program for beginners, which starts with sitting exercises and works up from there. You can either do it with resistance bands or cans of food for weights. I am feeling a small difference already in my legs and lower back. My friend went from hardly moving to being ready for a running program. It is the Launchpad series by Bodylastics Workouts. What I like is that in addition to the skinny instructor, the video has a rather overweight gentleman accompanying her.
Joyce: What a lovely cat!
Machka: I get tired just reading about your day!

Morning, well no nausea last night, that's a step in the right direction. I was in good control of my food choices, simple chicken and quinoa at a dinner out and I was not even tempted by the usual suspects, wine, apps and dessert
I'm Hitting the gym in the a.m. as a way to reward myself for working so many extra hours.
Also eliminating dairy and eggs along with gluten for the rest of the week to see if that makes a difference. And yes I will have to make a doctors appt!! This rash is out of control, I'm itching on elbows, behind the knees and on the edges of my scalp, burning, itchy very uncomfortable.
I will get to the bottom of this, just a little tricky with the work demands for the next 5 weeks.
Beth how's the readjustment with DYS home from college??
Have a peace filled day. NYKAREN4 -
Went to the exercise room this morning and turned on the radio, as usual, to hear the news of the Manchester bombing.
We both felt such a huge sadness and bewilderment and completed our regime in silence.
We had on our news the other day an article about the World Seed Bank in Svalbard where Penny lives. A lot of flooding from the perma frost melting. The seeds are safe, but it was a shock for everyone and there will have to be a rethink.
Love Heather in the sad UK XXXXXXX2 -
Indeed, so sad about the latest violence, this time in Manchester. My heart goes out to all the families and friends whose loved ones died or were injured.2

Heather I just heard about this too. I will never understand the total lack of care for human life. My heart is with all those affected
Welcome garnetann, Brkhart, carolpa1, clowe
Barbie I like your comment ongiving up food as a source of recreation
Lisa I believe in CICO. Although I will eat anything, this forces me to make good choices. I use strategy not willpower.
Rori & Sue So nice that you could meet!
NYKaren HUGE Congrats. You should be so proud, what an achievement!!!
So I am still hanging around. Life has been too hectic to make the time to read and post. Hopefully things are settling down. It was the long weekend here and most people plant their gardens which I did all 3 days. Feeling pretty sore all over now. We plant enough to feed us fresh veggies from July-October and give to friends, and then have a lot of frozen to supplement our winter purchases.
Have a great day everyone.

So sad to hear about the bombing in Manchester, as we live only 40 mins away in Liverpool it's really shocking. DH and I sometimes go for an afternoon out there, people are lovely. We Scousers and the Mancs have lots of rivalry but it is all good hearted. Cab drivers from Liverpool went there when they heard the news and brought Liverpool people home without cost
DH and I had planned to go there at the weekend but a bit wary now, I know we shouldn't give in to terror but it makes you cautious
Thinking of the people who have died and their families, so devastating

Good morning all! Loving the kitty and flowers! But want to send out my love to all of our UK friends. My heart is with you all. I hope your families and friends are all safe. I can't say "I hope you are unaffected" because when this type of terrorism happens in your country/area you are affected, whether you have friends and family at the scene or not. Strength and courage to you all! love KJ (Kelly)4

I went to bed early last night so woke up to the news about the terrible event in Manchester yesterday. My heart goes out to all involved and the families as well.
I'm off to have blood work at the doctor's office. Have a wonderful day, my friends.

So sorry for the event in Manchester.
Michelle ~ It's strange to me about all the wedding planning. My DH proposed and we were married 6 wks later. My mom planned the whole thing and it was quite pretty. Didn't bother me a bit that she planned it all. We actually rented my dress and the brides maids dresses. Had the reception at my parent's house. An old German farmer made the cake and it was beautiful. I guess we had such a short engagement time because my husband to be was stationed at Ft Knox and that was when he could get leave.
Becca ~ Have fun tanning.
Joyce ~ Pretty little cat.
NY Karen ~ So glad you are feeling bad. Yes, go to the doctor.
