I had such a busy and fun day yesterday! I actually didn't get on the computer because I wanted to clean my bedroom, bathroom and hall bathroom before Nicole and I got mani/pedis at 10. We came home and had lunch since there is only outdoor dining in NJ and it was so hot out. Then we went to Cape May which is a beautiful shore town. It wasn't crowded at all on a Thursday so we were able to walk around and go into some shops. Some shops were stricter than others but the ones that were strict were doing great with the amount of people in stores and making sure once you were in, you were helped if needed and kinda kept the customers apart by interacting with them. I didn't feel rushed at all except for one shop. I am sure it isn't as easy on the weekend but I was impressed. We also drove around a bit to see the beautiful Victorian houses that Cape May is known for. It was a very nice day. Today I have to get out to go food shopping and have a little cleaning to do before my brother comes. They aren't going to be here until close to midnight. My niece has to work and then they will drive 5 hours from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia. Jim will drive them to the shore once they arrive. I am going to finish the day, week and month strong since this is really still a day that it will be easy to stay on track. I will not be checking in as much the next 10 days since I will have visitors and I feel like I am being rude when I am on the computer. I will try when I can though.

This is the first time in the past 3 years that I haven't gained about 5 pounds in July! It was a struggle but I did it! I usually gain in August too so now to work on that. First-to get through my brother's visit without too much damage.

@1theresamcvean Very interesting post on hunger. I could have a whole conversation with you about it. I would also do the same with going to the movies after dinner but I knew I wasn't hungry. On a side note- My dog Daisy is the same as Xavy but I am forcing her to eat 2x/day because of my daughter's dog who will eat Daisy's food as well as her own if left out. I wasn't even thinking from a hunger perspective at all. She is more in tune with her hunger than me. Love the pic from Pippa's BD and the idea of giving experiences as gifts. My brother and sister in law do the same for their grandchildren. What a great idea and making memories!
@Cafelelia Toronto did the re opening right! I hope you all do better than we did down here. Hope you are able to get into the French restaurant you like soon!
@tryingagain5 You really have been doing great. Don't let that weigh in mess with you. And don't let Wednesday mess with you either-just hop back on track! You got this!
@Mrsbell8well Have a great vacation!
@debbiewsharpe Hooray! I am glad that you are part of our group!
@pacsnc6 This new infusion sounds so much better than chemo. I still can't believe how this all progressed with you. Sending hugs.
@nstephenson01 Nice loss this week! These are tough times. I hope things get better soon with this pandemic. Hugs! Yes that was Lenka who said that-heres to making our winter bodies! I am usually losing the weight I put on in the summer during the winter!

AUGUST THREAD IS NOW OPEN

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10805520/weight-no-more-team-chat-august-2020#latest

Please bookmark the new page and go ahead and say HI!

There are several new members this month. So please consider a reintro for the new folks

Thursday 7/30 & Friday 7/31
No exercise for Thursday, 30 minutes for Friday
I didn't count calories or water for either day

One of my neighbors organized for an ice cream truck to come to our condo complex on Thursday. We've never done that before. It was a lot of fun. People brought chairs and visited with each other. Not everyone came but there were quite a few people. It looked like it was well received so we may do it again. I worked my regular 8 hour shift but am still really tired. Pretty sure I'm short several hours of sleep this week.😴

It's 3rd shift's weekend so I'm working tonight. Going in early so it will be a 10 hour shift tonight. I don't see much happening tomorrow after work except for a lot of sleep and laundry. Sounds like a pretty exciting Saturday...sleep and laundry.🤣😉

I'm pretty far behind on posts but want to thank everyone who continues to encourage me.

To those doing well: great job!

To those struggling: keep going, it's hard but worth it! You (and I) can do it!

@Mrsbell8well Oh, no! I am so sorry that you ended up in ER just as your vacation started. Please let us know, when you can, what the prognosis is and take good care of yourself. 😔

@Mrsbell8well So sorry about your back! I hope you're feeling better.

@KUMEcyclingteam You've done such a great job! I like your plan of taking a month before you get back into things.

@tryingagain5 The ice cream social sounds fun! Glad you got to visit with others.

This week I worked on creating PD for my fellow teachers on using our LMS and also tried to think of how lesson plans are going to work with our school plan. NC decided to do a blended opening, so our student body is divided into fourths with 25% rotating on A,B,C,D days, then Friday is a remote learning day for everyone so they can deep clean the school.

So I'm doing an online lesson for 75% of the kids each day M-T, and a slightly different in person lesson for whichever group is coming that day. The county next to us just switched to being fully remote, and I can't deal with all the noise on social media anymore. I just want to be back in my classroom teaching my kids.

July wasn't the best month for me. Or, I should say I wasn't the best ME in July. It's August 1, so it's time for new goals.
