Loving all this activity in the team chat. It is great to read how everyone deals with eating out a little different. I hope I replied to all of your check ins and if I missed anyone I apologize.
I am behind on everything again this morning. I had another rough night of sleep due to the shoulder pain so I ended up staying in bed later than usual. I haven’t been out for a walk yet but I promise I will get one done today. I am stuck at the apartment waiting for a package so my walk will be indoors.
Have a great day everyone and I hope you crush all your goals.

For the Question of the day ..... Since I am keto I look at the menu before going to the restaurant .... I choose steak or chicken or fish......then I choose a vegetable like broccoli and a dinner salad no dressing (because I bring my own)
I have not gone out to eat since Covid 19 started ... I am high risk (Asthma and diabetes) so I prefer to meal prep at home and eat at home (knowing what is in my food really does help )

I've looked all over the place and I can't find "notifications"
Where would that be? thx
I posted weight when I joined which was 3 days previous. Not a lot of point in doing it again til next Monday.lindamtuck2018 wrote: »How do you find your own past posts on here - to see if anyone has replied?

I think if you look under your notifications you will see if someone mentioned you in a comment. If the quoted your post or tagged you, it will show in notifications.
On another note, I have you as a Monday weigh in. Did you weigh in already and I miss it? Could you repost if you did or post your weight if you haven’t yet.

Megan answered these question on the notifications. That sounds reasonable with the weigh in. I will carry your start weight over until Monday.0 -

Sorry to hear about your shoulder. Are you taking anything ? A good heat rub balm massaged film do alot of help.xxx0 -
Sorry I typed wrong.
A good massage with a deep heat rub will help0 -
Happy Wednesday, everyone! Thanks, @mari_moulin! Fortunately, the storm passed as quickly as it came on. Kind of surreal to be outside fixing yesterday's damage when today is a perfect summer day, but thank God no flooding this time. The perk of living within walking distance of the ocean can flip quickly when the hurricanes come up the coast!

Finally getting the needle to move down again! I'm going to set a goal of being under 200 by the end of the month, even if it's just by an ounce. It might be a little aggressive to say 8.5lbs in just under 4 weeks, but goals (and making them public goals) help keep me focused.0 -

I am taking Advil and Tylenol. I also have some cbd oil. Hopefully tomorrow my rheumatologist will book me for another cortisone shot. I will buy some heat rub and try it. Thanks for the suggestion.1 -

Awesome loss this week. You do well with goals so I am confident you can pull this off. You are off to onderland and I can’t wait to celebrate with you.2 -
I usually try to look at the menu in advance, but a lot of times once I get to the restaurant I scrap my plan haha! On Monday, I went out with the plan of having grilled shrimp skewers over salad but when I got to the restaurant, they had an ahi tuna taco special. I went for the special and switched from the frozen cocktail that I had planned to a light beer. I usually choose my order based on calories and try to replace a starchy side dish with a salad, especially if I want to have a cocktail or a beer. At least once a month, I give myself a cheat meal of Latin food because how can you not, lol?!mari_moulin wrote: »
When you have to go out for a meal, how do you decide on what to order? How do you choose the healthier foods? Do you look up their menu online and plan ahead? Or maybe you give yourself a cheat meal?
(Yes I know that’s a lot of questions but all related lol)
