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. 🙂

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

Last call!

Final weigh-ins still due:

The Steph/Steffs!

@Stefbomb2020

Thanks!

Today was a busy day, I made salsa with freshly picked veggies and herbs from the garden. Ended up with 14 pints! I didn't get around to the pickles yet but hope to have time Monday. Tomorrow a friend and I have a day at the beach planned.

Rainbow for the day:
R - cherry tomatoes, red pepper
O - orange juice
Y - corn on the cob
G - poblano pepper, fresh thyme, sage & parsley
B - x
P - purple onion
B/W - Black beans, cauliflower, garlic

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.
