Hi all...it's been a couple of weeks since I posted anything. We were on a Dreamworks cruise to the Carribbean with our daughters & families (9 of us in all). It was fun..at times a little stressful, but that's always the case with our bunch, lol. I enjoyed it a little too much food wise, and have not gotten back to drinking my water, so the scale is not my friend right now. I wish I could be more like some of my grandkids...they are VERY picky about what they will eat & if nothing suits them, they just won't eat. (This bothers Gma...I think they need nourishment, lol.) The OK gkids will be staying with us for about 2 more weeks, so may not be posting much until we take them home. Hopefully by then, I can say I am back in control of my eating, etc.

Sounds like an awesome time! I am a picky eater as are my daughters and grandchildren. I understand the struggle.0 -
Good morning friends!
It’s a fantastic day in Michigan. The sun is out and it’s 65 this morning. It’s the perfect day to do yard work, clean up the house and get ready for the weekend. Did I mention that I’m off on Fridays in July? I’m so excited!
Carpe Diem my friends!

Your little garden is doing great! I planted my vegetables way too close together & the rain & heat we are getting..they are getting way too crowded! I have picked about 10 zucchini, had one big meal of green beans (the ones the deer havent eaten, lol), and my tomatoes are going crazy! I have planted tomatoes in pots before so thought I left plenty of room (in the ground this time). Not sure how I will get to the middle to pick them. & our pumpkin patch is solid leaves right now, even though the hills were 5 feet apart.1

I’ve only harvested spinach so far, but I do think I missed the boat on my cilantro. Everything else is flowering though.
Happy Saturday!0 -
Good morning. I wish you a great Sunday! What are your plans for today?0

Scale is up, but it's also my TOM. Being a little dehydrated doesn't help either. I only had 6 or 7 jello shots yesterday, but they were doubles, so I'm paying for it today. My mouth is soooo dry. I think I did well food wise at the party at least!1

I just fight logging my food! I know I need to do it, and when I do, it works.
My goal today is to log everything. What do you struggle with most?

I log my food in 2 places - MFP and loseit. Every now and then I dream about not logging - but when I get to my computer - I am compelled - LOL.
I struggle with honest logging. Because I do cheat sometimes - and don't log extra things I eat. But, I'm ok with this - because overall I'm still doing good.0 -
Have a great Saturday!
My daughter and I are hitting the thrift store for an outfit for her play.

Happy Saturday. Still have the OK gkids with us for another week. Not sure what plans for today. I tend to record all my food everyday, except when without cell service. But I can be "oh well" when I am over my calorie goal. This doesn't help with losing the last 10 or so, but I seem to be able to maintain this way. Hopefully I will get a little more dedicated after we take them home so I can lose this bit of "vacation gain" & then on to where I want to be.0

Today so far I logged all of my brunch. Feels good to have it recorded. Now I just need to get my water in. Hydrate, my friends!0

I log everything, my struggle is actually being consistent with a healthy intake. I will eat something very high calorie just because I want it.2

I like this thread. Makes me feel better and smile. It's "real" and it's just nice to read the entries and posts.
I hit a restart button for myself this week. Lost track after my shoulder surgery and being sedentary. Am walking dog daily and "playing soccer" with him outside. (I kick the ball, he chases it, I go get it and kick it again. He loves it. We have a big back yard so I get some steps in.)3 -
Your thread title says everything in a nutshell and not the whole bushel. It stand out and always makes an impact.
It comes at you with purpose.1 -

Welcome!! Always good to have another person who exercise with her dog. What is your dig’s name? My fluffy one is Roxie. Here she is exhausted after playing rope!

I’m proud that you log it all! The good the bad and everything. 0 -

Way to go Kiwi!
We are striving for progress, not perfection. Congrats on day 1, now onto day 2. Happy Sunday!0 -
Made a bicycle ride of better than six miles this week three times. It's starting to feel a bit more comfortable. If only my bottom will fall into adapting to the seat. I'd like to get my added burn up to 500 kcals per ride.2

A friend had a party last night, I grumbled and grumped all day because it was going to take me off plan. I logged everything today that I remembered, and it put me 400 over maintenance. I did end up having fun, had a little to drink, and it left me feeling so thirsty this morning. I never felt like this before, it's like suddenly in my 30's I just dry out like a sea sponge on land when I have more than 1 drink. I had 3 jello shots and 1 bottle of mike hard lemonade, and in between each drink, took a sip of a big bottle of Smart Water, finishing the bottle when I got home.
Back on track today and feeling better after lots of water and a good breakfast. Eating light for dinner tonight. Crab Cakes, Salad and some mashed potatoes!2 -
