@BB_1033, love some avocado. Sometimes I mix it with albacore tuna and Duke's mayonnaise. So good!! Wonderful loss, too!!

I'll have salmon for dinner, that's a healthy fat right? My big thing for today is I am sitting here with you while the rest of clan goes to Dairy Queen. I knew that if I walked through the door I would be done for, so...4

Whoa, what an inspiration you are, @shewhoismany!! Salmon is a great choice for healthy fats!! You're doing better than I am today. I totally caved with ice cream in the house. Stayed under calories today but over on my fat macros and feel awful!! I think I ate my emotions after the kids left for their homes. It's great having adult children, but it's not so great that they don't live closer.
I just asked my husband to go wash the rest of it down the drain. I don't have the heart to do that (leftovers from being raised by a mom who didn't throw anything away), but it needs to go!
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, walking Ollie 20 minutes
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes

Did 25mins low impact HIIT workout this AM. Now, just back from a 40min walk with my hubby. Feeling proud!

@BonnieHosk85 I'll be over my Fat by the end of the day. I almost always go over my fat macro. If I have any calories left over at the end of the day I have a big cup of coffee with half and half (and sugar). That and potato chips are my Achilles heel. Chips are not allowed in the house because I have absolutely no self-control. I will eat the whole bag. I tried switching to popcorn, corn chips, cheesy puffs but I ate all of them as well. Its not triggered, its just a feeding frenzy. If I crack and they make it into the house and I manage to stop while there are some left, I have to hose them down before I toss them or I might dig the bag out of the trash.
@kellystarrn Great! You have the right to feel proud. I tried HIIT last week and quit after five minutes. And I can't get my husband off the couch for love or money.

Yeah, going back down! I haven't tracked this weekend, been a bit lazy, busy, just took a break from it. I will be back to tracking tomorrow.
I hope you all had a nice long Labor Day Weekend! I am feeling exhausted today. We had a nice BBQ & pool time here with some friends & family. It took all of our energies to get the house ready, shopping for the food, prep, etc. It was a lot of fun, but paying for it now!5 -
I love how active this forum is - thank goodness! I'm feeling good about this month. Let's go for back to back wins!
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes if cleaning the house for an hour counts.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? No but just 135 over - I shouldn't have bought a Cheese Danish "for the kids" lol. It's going to work tomorrow to share.

Later today my kiddos are leaving for their homes and I'm going to do some meal prep. Cooking up some salmon to get my healthy fats in for this week's challenge. What are you adding to your diet this week to increase your healthy fats?
I like nuts and fish for fat. Peanuts and pistachios are my go-to mid-morning snacks, and tuna or sardines are good for lunch when I'm at home.
BTW: @BonnieHosk85, so glad to see you're still here as Captain! Thanks for having me back on Gutbusters! I've done pretty well at maintaining since I took a hiatus months ago, but since mid-July I've noticed that I need the support and guidance from a group again. Here's to a good start for the fall!

I am probably slightly dehydrated today because I hiked the highest mountain in Colorado yesterday, Mt. Elbert! I am sore today, but I am proud that I did it! It was 9.5 miles round trip and about 4,000 feet elevation gain to 14,440!4 -

I added a mini avocado to my egg white scramble this morning. Very yummy... but then I looked at the calories, yikes 160 for the mini... maybe should have just used half! Naw, I don't like to try and keep cut avocados. I will just have to make good use of the energy it is giving off!2

I'd say, yes, cleaning the house totally counts as exercise! You go, woman!2 -
@tuddy315, that's crazy good to have maintained. We're holding you to the Onederland prediction!!
@LesickaBod, great sources!! We're so glad you're back!!
Congrats on your loss!
@Shalvy2007, nice loss!!
@Kenyaa3, great loss! I've asked Ashley to change your weigh-in day for you to Tuesday.
@audreypawdrey, great loss and amazing climb!! You're my hero!! And I absolutely love Colorado!!
@looneycatblue, I felt the same way when I saw the calories in the Brazil nuts I logged. But, I think they're worth it for the benefits we're receiving. Nice job!!
Absolutely, cleaning counts! And you have a beautiful home when you're finished with your burn! Win-Win!!
Well, I totally stepped out of my comfort zone and joined a gym today. Did a small workout so I don't overdo it. Funny, but I headed toward the recumbent bike first thing. Did 18 minutes there (harder than the one at home) and then 10 minutes on circuits for arms. Feels so good to be back. I belonged to this gym several years ago when I was losing on WW. They have a pool and hot tub, sauna, and all that, too. They offer water aerobics too, so when my outdoor classes end I'll try those. Maybe rotate the water exercises with the machines. If anyone has some advice for me I'd appreciate the input!

Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Well... my husband took me to the Waffle House for Breakfast for Lunch. I love waffles. I stayed away from the hash browns and for possibly the first time in my life I said no to bacon. But that waffle tho. I had to eat just veggies for dinner to stay under calories. And I have to go to bed early because I am still hungry but it was worth it. WAFFLE!
