    @jugar your swim sounds heavenly. Did the grant you applied for a while back ever come through?

    The weather cooled off at least (without a drop of rain) and I took advantage and cooked up a chicken, barley & mushroom soup - not exactly summer fare but delicious and the chicken was on sale. Just entered the recipe and it works out to 190 calories per cup of hearty, thick, & filling soup. The Recipe tool is great for soups - it can sometimes be hard to find a suitable match but persist and you will. I make a huge pot, once it cools a bit, I measure out how many cups it made (the recipe tool needs that), portion and freeze some. I've learned that if I make the soup again and need to adjust quantities in the recipes, because I never quite make it the same way twice, you can 'copy' the recipe and then just edit/tweak the copied version. I try to date the soup in the title so I know which one to select when logging. I guess I should just delete the older versions but I don't.
    have a great weekend all

    I'm feeling horrible today and its only 7am

    Feel like I messed up yesterday and haven't logged either. I've been weighing myself throughout the week and I'd lost but now im back up to where I started which is demotivating.

    I've got a BBQ today as well so I'll miss my lunch and just eat at that for dinner. Already ate crisps and toast 😅
    Hang in there! Grab some fruit and raw veggies to munch on when the urge for something crispy or sweet hits. Need salty and crunchy? Pickles! Don't let that scale get you down. Or if it does, give it a piece of your mind and tell it "Oh yeah? I don't think so" or some such snide and challenging remark. Then go move your body and eat some good stuff. You can do this!

    Happy Saturday!

    Another gorgeous day here - we're on a roll. DH is finally re-doing the inside of our sauna so we can use it this year some time. He replaced the roof 2 summers ago and gutted the interior, but then had shoulder replacement surgery last summer and could not do the work. So finally it is happening. I get to go down and help every now and again. It is an adorable tiny building next to our pond, and we have sorely missed going down there to bake in the coldest part of the winter (which lasts approximately forever), and then walking around outside in nothing but our boots whooping and feeling invincible. It's fun having absolutely no neighbours!

    @eggfreak - no, sadly, I did not get the grant I applied for. We're working on a different one and hoping to make something work! In the meantime, I'm finally putting all my old concert recordings on soundcloud, and as soon as I have all the other performers' written approval, I'll make them public. It's tedious, but I'm finally finally getting it done. I just wish I were playing with other musicians. It feels like a huge part of my life has been removed. Meh.

    Onward ho! I hope you're all having a lovely Saturday :smiley:

    I haven't checked in the last few days as I wasn't feeling well, headachey and my stomach has been bothering me off and on. Started feeling better last night so I went to a friend's house and we had hotdogs and marshmallows over the fire. Not healthy physically, but mentally we both needed it. Today seems to be better so far so that's good news.

    I plan on preserving some goodies from the garden today, I definitely want to make a batch of dill pickles, and maybe something with some tomatoes, either salsa or just stewed toms 😋

    Am I doing this right? LOL. Besides neglecting my goals for part of the week, and not hitting my step target. This week, I plan to be better.

    My first time posting the stats, so not unsure about that. :)

    That’s fine but did you record steps on the other days as well with your phone or a device like a Fitbit? Every step counts. 🙂

    Michele, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your last post. Thanks for the inspiration! I'm sure not every week will be a loss scale-wise for me either, but I'll keep remembering all those other improvements I'm making... that will surely add up to success in the long run. Hang in there!

    Wonderful! You can always record both steps and any other kind of exercise. It helps me for the cycling that you post the number of minutes - it makes it easier to "translate" it in to steps. thanks!

    @BaileyCat88
    You can record your Saturday steps on Sundays. I don't think Michele does the steps report until Sunday or Monday, so everyone has time to step right up to bedtime on Saturday :smiley:

    Correction: my soup is 255 cal/cup. As I ate it yesterday thinking how yummy and filling the barley was, I realized that was the one ingredient that was so obvious, I hadn't written it down, ha!
    Someone on here just recently mentioned a craving and then waiting 10 minutes...worked for me last night as I knew the bag of potato chips was still around....see? things we read on here do float around in our brains and can surface just when we need them.
    @lovethyneighbor your kayaking so inspiring - it is such a peaceful and enjoyable thing to do. @Gidgitgoescrazy has posted photos before - I still haven't attempted to get my monster kayak onto my car - with the truck I got rid of last year, it was so easy. There's a goal..by the end of September, I'll get out for a day on the river.

    Not great , but we tubed for like 5 hrs, and it was worth it... Kayaking today, so probably won't meet my goal today either...
