NON WW & WW NEWBIES, OUR NEW LIFE, THE START OF SOMETHING WONDERFUL

@Shexio Nice work losing a pound. Tracking really does work, it helps to cut down on snacking and mindless nibbling. I'm going to check out Jessica Smith for my walks

@mswatson0777 - Oh wow, I would have left the woodpile. Maybe just having you near their home will encourage them to leave. I live in a subdivision and over the last few nights I've noticed several of my neighbors have bonfires. Signs of spring.

@TeresaW1020 That's terrible about the nursing home. There's no reason to hide it, that is what happens with this terrible disease. My state is third in the country for this virus, behind New York and New Jersey. It's hard to understand why Michigan has been so hard hit, so fast.

@ts_cleo I'm glad you found ways to connect to people while quarantined. Especially your dad, who you said you weren't really close to, it's still a connection and it's good you check up on each other.

@theslightedgeforever I loved the little wafer bread as a kid, it just melted in my mouth, and for some reason I found that fascinating. Your creative with your exercise, which keeps it from getting boring.

Yesterday, I walked outside in the morning, but for my second walk later in the day I walked around the inside of my house. Kinda boring but safer.

Good morning my friends! I'm in better spirits today. Yesterday, I set small achievable goals and checked them off in my habit tracker app and that was mood-elevating. That, plus I did a YouTube workout to ABBA (it was a 13-minute fast-paced walking video). The resistance bands I ordered came yesterday so I may play around with them today. I wanted to order dumbbells but those are sold out and impossible to get right now.

@theslightedgeforever Actually, you are right. I'm back on a good path now. I set small, achievable goals for myself yesterday and it gave me something to accomplish and made me feel better. Plus, I talked to my therapist. No, I do not break out my points because it all depends on how much dinner is. Dinner becomes lunch the next day (we have the leftovers for lunch), so I can't say "Lunch is x points." I haven't been eating snacks except for those cashews I had that one day. For breakfast, I've been having a smoothie and although WW thinks blended fruit should be counted, I do not count it because it just doesn't make sense to me that unblended fruit is zero points but if I put it in a blender, it suddenly has points. Corn nuts, 390 cals wow! That is a lot of calories. I know I weighed my cashews before I ate them, I don't remember if I looked up to see how many points it was I think I did but I was like YOLO. So, I did exercise yesterday. You exercised yesterday to the Doobie Bros, I exercised to ABBA! How fun are we? Great job!

@mswatson0777 What a mighty hero! Congrats on getting through your paper! That must have been a relief to turn in. Enjoy your reading for fun!

April goal: track 2 meals a day, do some form of exercise once a day, drink 52 oz of water per day

Hi all..sorry not been on for awhile. Not super busy, lol, but the time gets away from me. Wow, is it ever windy today. We had a nice day on Tues, got up to 82! Quite a bit cooler today, tho.

@Shexio good job with the apples. I haven't really snacked that much, but got some apples, so should start eating some. Altho I did make a pan of brownies the other day. I have been limiting myself to one, so I can try to stay within my calories. Good job with your exercise, too.

@trooworld Glad your mood has improved. These are difficult times. I think I am usually pretty upbeat, but the uncertainty of every thing has me kinda rattled. Hope your dh stays safe at work. If you find a good routine for the exercise bands, let me know. I have a set, but haven't looked at them in a few years.

@nighthazel01 We do some walks outside, but I am still content to use the treadmill & just sit out on the deck for fresh air. Dh on the other hand, hates the treadmill, so always want to walk outside. As long as we just walk up the road & stay away from the trails in the park, we don't usually see anyone. Not supposed to be very nice for awhile & maybe some snow Sunday or Wed. Was hoping that was gone for the year. My sis (lives in Mpls) sent a picture today of a little snow they had gotten last night.

@mswatson0777 Did not realize you live in Minn. My relatives all lived by the Minn-IA border. For some reason, I thought you were in Canada. Yay, for getting school work done. When my oldest dd was doing her masters (part time at night while working) got so tired of it, that the last term, she really piled the classes on, just to get done with it, lol. We had a ground hog in the shed where we store the tractor. I didn't even want to get out of the pickup if I thought it was around. & mice chewed the wiring in the tractor..dh was not happy!

@TeresaW1020 That's too bad about the nursing home. So sad for them, you know people are unknowingly bringing it in. Dh has been going to the store when we need something because of my age & asthma, lol.
I did an online food order that he picked up. Was supposed to be just open the back of the van, they load it, & off we go. But dh wondered if it would be bagged..we had seen big tubs that they were using there..so we discussed using our reusable grocery bags. Well, he went to pick it up, got confused on what we had discussed, so got the tubs from the guy & loaded all the sacks in the reusable, etc. So much for minimal contact, lol. But he felt it was Ok, because only one young guy, not the crowds in the store. Probably right, but... I know he did wear a mask, tho, so have to give him credit for that. We refrigerated what needed to be & the rest is still sitting in the van being quarantined for a few days.

@theslightedgeforever Good job with your exercises. Not sure I could run with filled flower pots. Your Doobie Bros workout sounded fun. I have thought about getting a mini trampoline, they look like fun. I know you worry about your ds. Even tho we don't have official lockdown, I think our state has done pretty good with its recommedations. I get encouraged by the number of negative tests we have had, considering they haven't done a lot of testing, except when people are sick, or now if over 60. Hopefully people are doing the social distancing..I haven't been out that much to see. I laughed at the coffee shop with the old guys. My dh used to go talk to the neighbor almost every day, but since we moved here, he hasn't really found a connection like that. I think he gets a lot more bored that I do that way. I on the other hand, get more "nutsy". Telling people to keep washing their hands is not good for me, lol.

I usually have to try to talk dd in OK down a little. She gets so upset about all the things the kids are missing. I keep trying to tell her, everyone is in the same situation. She has been working from home (didn't think about it until she said last night, she is an essential worker because she works for Verizon..so communications) Not so easy to do with the 2 kids, and now she is essentially supposed to home school them, too. Dd here is starting to do online teaching, not sure how that works for kindergarten.

Dh got a recipe for making peanut brittle in the microwave, so he has started doing that. (he doesn't cook, so it is something!) In our order, he got 2 bags of peanuts, so is planning to make 4 batches. That's not good for me, because it is pretty good & a little hard to resist.

Well, suppose I should go & try to do something. I have 40 minutes, then I usually do my treadmill while Dr Oz is on. Put a roast in the oven, so need to add some potatoes & carrots.

Keep staying safe.

@nighthazel01 I too have worn a path inside my house. I walk the perimeter outside my house sometimes too for a change. My Fitbit GPS map looks funny as it's just a bunch of circles. Interesting perception. When I think of bonfires, I think of fall. Maybe it's like the cavemen. They were sitting around with nothing to do and they started playing with some wood. Voila! Fire.

mswatson0777 Do you have any containers like vegetable oil containers or milk jugs. Something with handles. They can be filled up with water and used as weights. Any size of water bottle really. books in a bag. Anything to create weight. Turning in your first draft is quite the accomplishment. What book are you reading?

@trooworld Yaaay for better moods. Setting the small goals and tracking is a good way to feel a sense of accomplishment. ooh, I'll have to pull out some ABBA. Hubby loves them.

@shexio Your workout sounds so intense but I bet you have great looking muscles. I need to find me a good strength training workout video that l like. I have all the equipment.

@retiredandlovingit I hope you got in your treadmill with Dr. Oz. My son mentioned the nice Tuesday. He went out for a walk and his dad said, why aren't you staying in the house. lol My dd had snow too in MN. Groceries: I wipe everything down. Even the eggs one by one now. lol Then came wiping all the plastic bags down. I use them as garbage bags. Then there's the produce... I can't wait til we get back to the time of just putting away groceries. I hated that job to begin with. But now it will seem so quick and easy. Your roast in the oven made me smile. Especially with potatoes and carrots. My mom fixed that every Sunday. When we walked in from church, you could smell the roast. She had it in her big dutch oven.

@its_cleo I hope your Achilles heals soon. So now you have to see Rocky 4 just for the muscles. Especially when he's in the barn. He really transformed his body between 1 and 4. I love a good makeover. I liked the Creed movies too. Yikes on the dreams. I agree mixed messaging. Maybe my age, but I don't understand why people just want to go and mill about together outside. I like my freedom as much as the next person but I also value my health and the health of those I love. I liked the new campaign of "I'm staying inside FOR my ......... (my answer is hubby and mil, well of course me too. I'm selfish like that) I was telling dh last night Yippee, the weekend is coming. He just looked at me. Everyday is a weekend now. I said maybe in YOUR mind, but let me have my fun.

Calories- Stayed OP 1559/1660 Exercise-Rest Day

April goals: Drink 4.5 glasses of water Decluttering Burn 200 calories

Im making the intention here, I will limit my joy food fri-Sunday. Watch my portions and be mindful so that I eat more greens and fruit and minimal - if any- processed treats.
The goal is a good Monday/Tuesday weigh in.


Gas here is 1.29 wow.

@theslightedgeforever
My workouts are intense- I guess. They sound intense but, if your willing to just show up and press play, just do what you can do and not be intimidated- you’d be amazed at what you can get done.

Today, did total body and some abs. I’m sure we will get walking in, no work, so I plan to clean the house.


@nighthazel01 good job on getting in a walk.

I maybe mentioned it before - Jessica smith on youtube has some walking workouts on you tube.

Hello friends! I found out yesterday that due to COVID-19, my job will completely shut down until May 18th. The good news is I will still get paid though. But man, I'm going to get bored. So, because I'm going to have all that time off, I decided to work today.

@RetiredAndLovingIt Thanks. I've seen some YouTube videos for resistance bands but haven't tried anything yet. I'll let you know if I find something good. Peanut brittle...yum!

@its_cleo Yes, I did and I found some there. There are two types of resistance bands, the flat kind and the tube kind. I got the tube kind so I don't know if it matters, but I looked for the tube kind when I searched the videos and I found some. I hope you can get some sleep. I didn't sleep well, either: anxiety...I kept getting up to pee it seemed like every minute, but I didn't have to pee. I had to tell myself: you don't have to pee. Stay in bed until you feel like you really have to pee. And that seemed to help. I hope people are still trying to stay in here!!!

@theslightedgeforever Yeah, I actually found a YouTube video that was a walking video set to ABBA. It's not my favorite but it's okay. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wAzRW2LCus&t=1s

@nighthazel01 Thanks, me too! Yes, I like the habit tracker. I hope you enjoy your day off work. Happy Good Friday to you as well!

Hi all..sunny here today but chilly. Looks like it will be the treadmill again for me.

@mswatson0777 Sounds like fun doing a zoom yoga. Not sure how to stop the dog. Ours used to lick dh's pillow. Wow, that was gross!

@trooworld Now you get to try retirement, too, lol. Glad you will still be getting paid tho. I think mine are the tube kind also.

@its_cleo Sorry about the bad dreams. Hope you can do the stairs in your building.

@TeresaW1020 Not sure what I will make for Easter since it will be just dh & me here. Probably something easy, lol. Even though we are only 10 minutes apart, we have been staying away from dd & family. We Facetime or House Party with them almost every day.

@theslightedgeforever I brought most of the groceries out of quarantine & wiped them down. A few things that we got extras of I didn't bother wiping..they went back out in quarantine, lol. Wow, even your eggs. I took mine out of the carton, but didn't wipe each one. Oh well, probably won't eat any for 3-4 days since I already had some, so that should be long enough time to decontaminate them. Needed my Dove dark chocolate, lol. I ration it one a day, & trying to only eat the peanut brittle once a day. He made 4 batches as long as he was doing it, just to use up the peanuts! I have set my calories to maintain & letting my exercise make the deficit. Hopefully will still lose slowly & yet not make myself crazy.

I guess dd did an online grocery with pickup & they didn't give her any of her cold stuff. So she had to go back to store anyway. & she put that they could substitute if out of something. Guess instead of plain crackers she got some weird flavor crackers. Wasn't happy about that either. So she said next time, she won't substitute, just go without. Guess I will have to do that too.

Have a great day. We are going to go drive around, just to get out of the house, lol.

Hey @cbabie, yep a shower can do wonders. Well if the fast works for you….but you need food for energy running around after that little one, so I hope you make sure you get enough….what do you take her for rides in? …..wow sorry your husband has dreams like that too! With me fortunately it’s only once in a while. I honestly think it’s because of my cycle- it usually happens only when I’m ovulation or have PMS. …I assume there is a different cause with your husband lol…

@RetiredandLovingIt that is a pain about the groceries. I know I tried a couple weeks ago but I couldn’t get any delivery times. But when I was looking online- it was so hard, they didn’t have what I wanted. It was easier to just go. The only time I ever had groceries delivered was years ago when I hurt my back and couldn’t really pick anything up. You have to make do with whatever they bring you.

@mswatson0777 yeah the Master’s in 12 months lol. It was brutal. I almost had a nervous breakdown afterward. But I connected with a good group of people and made friends in my program and we all got through it together. We drank copious amounts of wine lol. To this day, even a glass or two of wine makes me feel like crap and I swear it’s because of that year lol. …..how old is your bulldog? I think with pets one of the key things is to figure out why they are doing it.

@trooworld…I don’t know if it matters with the type of band. I think the flat kind just don’t cut into your skin as much if you tie them around your legs, but I’ve done that with the thin ones and you just adjust the tension…..ah yeah- I totally go through with getting up ever 3 minutes it feels like to use the bathroom even though I don’t. It is anxiety. I have not found a way to beat it when that happens, but I hate it. One thing I try to do when I can’t sleep well is to just focus on breathing deep. So I lie in bed and think- don’t even worry about sleeping. Just try some deep breaths. Usually my breathing is so shallow and tight because I’m anxious. Sometimes that helps and I can fall asleep. …I gotta tell you I love the Idea of an Abba workout video.

@TeresaW1020 trainer session was ok. I don’t enjoy it as much honestly. But it was nice to see him and nice to do some exercise. We’re using zoom. I have a couple of 10 lb dumbbells and a stability ball, so we’re using those. I’m afraid we’ll get bored doing the same things but he’s pretty creative and says he can come up with different things. ……I was thinking about you yesterday- I was cleaning out my closet and I found an old 1000 piece puzzle from like 10 years ago. I did complete it then, but then I packed it up so I may do it again. It’s a drawing, sort of cartoon like of a bunch of animals going to the ark. The only weird thing is it’s snowing, and the ship is like in a snowdrift lol….kind of weird but it’s quite a fun picture. So I will start doing that I think. –That is fantastic to lose some weight! Especially now.

@nighthazel01 yeah running is pretty hard on the body….I know a lot of people tha struggle with ankles, knees
etc. They say walking is much better. I just get stubborn and want to do the hardest thing ever lol. Even though I’m not usually successful !.....we got some hail and snow here too but it didn’t last.

@theslightedgeforever yeah I keep meaning to see the Rocky movies. So 3 is next for me, if this quarantine goes on long enough I may watch it. …….yeah I do the same thing load up stuff with water to use as weights. I’ve been using empty kitty litter containers lol. I was also thinking about loading up a suitcase with heavy stuff and carrying it around.

Well today I walked 6.5 km. I think that’s 3+ miles…? I have no idea lol. I’m going to skip the stairs, and give my achilles some time. It will be sore for a while, tendons are notoriously hard to heal. I still have issues with my arm and the tendonitis there happened in Jan. it’s ok, I just work around it.
I hope you all have a great weekend, and happy Easter.

Good morning everyone! We got food delivery last night, but I made a healthy choice and ended my WW week with 13 Weekly Points remaining so I was disappointed when I stepped on the scale this morning to see I had gained .4 lbs. Now, this may be because I didn't drink enough water this week. It could have been the salt in the restaurant food. It could have just been an off week. But it still sucks!

@mswatson0777 Thanks, I'm glad they are doing what they can to not eliminate jobs. Your bulldog! lol We used to put our dogs in the bathroom when they did something bad and call it doggy jail. We'd say, "Now, go to doggy jail!" And they'd go. lol Yes, gotta keep moving! I hope you had fun with your walk and talk.

@RetiredAndLovingIt Yes, indeed! And yes, I'm glad I'm getting paid, too. It's very good of my company.

@cbabie I couldn't do what you are doing but if you can do it for the long term and it works for you, then okay! Yes, small goals are the way to go!

@its_cleo Last night, I told myself before I went to bed I would not get up unless I truly had to go to the bathroom. I still got up, but not as much. I think if I keep telling myself this, it might work if I get used to it. I'll also try the deep breathing before bed and see if that helps. Yes, ABBA!!!

@nighthazel01 Yes it is a relief. I was so worried about losing my job. I'm still somewhat worried, they said they would give another update on May 1st about the future. They can only plan 30-60 days out. Yeah, I think people are starting to get stir-crazy but we just have to sit tight and wait this thing out. I know it's hard to stay in, but it's for the best.

April goal: track 2 meals a day, do some form of exercise once a day, drink 52 oz of water per day

@RetiredandLovingIt A joy ride sounds like fun. I feel like that was something people used to do that has now fallen by the wayside. Have fun!

@cbabie Not sleeping is the worst. I hope you are able to rest up this weekend and that work gets less stressful.

@its_cleo Wine is basically a hobby in graduate school lol. Watson is almost 5 and I think he's doing it for attention (since I can't pay attention to him when I'm on Zoom meetings). He's now zoned off of any room in the house that I'm not in, so we're getting LOTS of togetherness time until we figure this out and break the habit. It sounds like you had a great walk! Slowly but surely, you're healing!

@nighthazel01 He's absolutely upset I don't pay attention to him when I work (it's very frustrating!). I've heard similar rumblings from people. Honestly I find the grumblings completely lacking empathy. We're in a pandemic and we're doing this to save lives. I get that it stinks, but mass death is so much worse.

@trooworld I hate it when that happens! That's how I've been feeling with this low carb stuff too. I've stayed the same weight for three weeks and I haven't eaten sugar or bread for 3 weeks and I've been tracking my calories. I'm pretty frustrated so I feel your pain.

@TeresaW1020 Zoom yoga is going really well! It makes me stay accountable and I get to connect with a friend who's having a hard time so it's a win-win. I'm also sad the weather is supposed to be bad tomorrow. I wish we'd have nice weekends through this since I want to just get out and explore!

Happy weekend all. I woke up in a grumpy mood so I ended up taking the dogs on a 2 hour walk to try to walk it off. I have a weekend routine where I normally wake up, make coffee, and go grocery shopping. But now that everyone has decided 9am is their grocery time I'm relegated to the crappy later times, which I hate. My coffee machine was also on the fritz (I have a backup and yes I'm spoiled and this is a first world problem, but ugh the coffee isn't as good). I also have a full list of house stuff that needs to be done, including dealing with that awful woodpile and I hate it. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, it's just one of those days.

Hi all- just a brief drop in as I'm about to meet my sister & a distant cousin on-line! We have meeting scheduled for 9pm UK time.

I started doing one of my gym routines - 3 exercises x10 for 5 mins BUT I added in Romanian deadlifts as gym not opening any time soon again & I need to work on hamstrings (physio informed me they're weak) & PT at gym recommended them. I couldn't move yesterday. Today I did short walk but it hurt!
I made cards this morning for the 2 youth church groups. The this afternoon I delivered eggs at a distance. The ones I my village I walked rather than car- ouch! Hot bath & stretch when I got back.

@trooworld It's disappointing about the weight loss when you're expecting something different because of your hard work, but you know weight fluctuations based on a lot of things, hormones, salt intake, ect.

@TeresaW1020 Starbucks sounds so good right now, the weather has been all over the place by me, hopefully you have calm skys for Easter.

@retiredandlovingit That's so sweat about the Easter dress. It's a very different Easter for us this year, just the 5 of us. I guess I'm glad my kids are older so they don't miss all the bunny stuff.


@theslightedgeforever I don't think we'll get back to normal until a vaccine is developed and widely distributed, but things will get better before that. I'm worried about my kids fall classes, they can only be online so long.

Happy Easter everyone! Yesterday I got a lot of work done around the house, so that at least felt like an extra workout. We're having a low key dinner here of lemon chicken with linguine, and stuffed vegetarian peppers. I didn't walk yesterday, I got busy in the afternoon and later my cat fell asleep on me and I felt too bad about moving her, I know that's a terrible excuse, but she really did look happy.

@TeresaW1020 Yeah that's true about the workout videos. I went from zero exercise to exercising almost every day. Yes, yay for still getting paid! I hope the forms get submitted okay for you guys to still get paid, too! Yes, that workout video came from someone on Slimpossibles, it was fun! It must be really hard being away from your church community during Easter. I'm sorry you have to miss out on that. I hope the weather isn't too bad. Happy Easter!

@mswatson0777 Oh man, I'd feel frustrated, too! Hopefully, your sacrifice will pay off soon, maybe there will be a whooosh affect soon and it will just come off in a big loss? I bet your dogs loved that 2 hour walk. I hope your day gets better. Everyone is allowed to have one of those days once in a while, today's your chance.

@joannadavison How fun that you are meeting with your sis and cousin! Happy Easter!

@theslightedgeforever I'm sure you aren't the only one.

@nighthazel01 Yes, I was expecting something different. That's what I get for having expectations, I guess! Happy Easter! Your dinner sounds amazing. I wouldn't move the kitty either. I do that with the dog, if the dog looks comfy, I don't move him.

Hello everyone! DH and I didn't feel like cooking last night and decided to order food delivery again. I could have made a healthy choice, but I wanted chicken fettuccini alfredo so I made the best of that decision by only eating half the order and steaming some broccoli to go with it. It didn't end up being good anyway, so I'm not eating the leftovers for lunch like I planned. I hate when that happens! My husband makes such better food. Last night, we were watching a movie at about 9:30 p.m. when the electricity went out. So, we broke out the camping lantern and used my phone as a hot spot and connected the laptop to it and watched the movie on that and the electricity came back on at about 11:30 p.m. It was kind of fun, it was like camping! I'm going to do a disco workout today, it should be fun, if anyone is interested it is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxrJ1z0HmYU&list=PL-5_b8Up2FICclhzBQS0QGKcGt2K9pH9D&index=4&t=0s

@TeresaW1020 Your dinner sounds delicious. It was definitely a different Easter this year, but I can't complain, everyone here is healthy and happy.

@trooworld - Too bad about your dinner, but you made the best of it. We're supposed to have high winds today, and we've already been warned about power outages.

@theslightedgeforever- Yeah, that's true about young kids and schoolwork, my kids are on their own, I just get to hear them complain, but it's okay, I've gotten good at tuning some of it out. I do feel bad because they've worked so hard, and their classes don't convert well to online versions, and some of the teachers have given up. They'll have to figure it out though.

Yesterday was fun, we had a nice dinner, and most of my family even dressed up for it, they were indulging me. My younger daughter was like forget it, I'm eating in my jeans like every other day. I weighed myself yesterday, and again I maintained, I'll take it because I'm definitely eating more since I've been home. I think Tuesday marks 4 full weeks we've been on lock down. Time hasn't moved this slow since I was seven years old, it's the strangest thing, one week feels like months ago. I got in over 10,000 steps in yesterday without really trying, I went for a longer walk in the morning because the weather was kinda nice, and I had to double back to avoid people hogging the road. I was busy cleaning and cooking most of the afternoon, and I went on a second walk inside my house in the evening. Not too bad. Heading to work now, I have to commute from my computer room, to my living room, the traffic around my fridge can get annoying sometimes.

@Shexio, that is good that your weight is down, but sorry it’s at the expense of you not feeling well.

@nighthazel01, glad that you had a nice Easter and good job on getting in all those steps! Yes, the time has definitely slowed down for so many of us and yet for others, they are working crazy long hours and wish life would go back to normal so they could slow down. Such a crazy time, isn’t it?

@theslightedgeforever, no way was I getting dressed up yesterday. I did put on a touch of make-up for our Zoom call last night with some church friends. I’m wondering if the Starbucks near my home shut down because we have three of them in town and their primary staff is college students, which we don’t have right now. The sign on the drive-thru said they are working on reopening. Yes, we need our coffee and it’s a good thing that I have a perfectly good coffee maker at home! Your son sounds like he needs a smack upside his head.

@trooworld, I hate when I order food out and it’s not as good, or better than what I could cook. I always feel like I wasted money and calories. What a fun and resourceful way to finish watching a movie. What did you watch? DH and I watched The Greatest Showman yesterday for the first time. What a great movie and the music is amazing! I need the CD. That video does look fun.

Good morning! It’s a sunny, breezy day but last night was scary with the storms. I was wide awake from 1:30 until about 3 am with the lightning and thunder. I was extra grateful after watching the news and seeing how many people died and that the storm is still causing so much trouble for people today. It really seems unfair in light of what we are all going through. But we are in tornado season now and it’s to be expected. Just sucks!! Easter was pretty good, all things considering. Online church went well, and my Easter dinner was very good. I did eat way more then I should have eaten, and we have all the leftovers to eat again today. Tomorrow, I go grocery shopping and we are going to be eating light and healthy for the rest of the week. I am not getting to Friday and having a gain on the scale. I’m NOT!!! Have a good day!
