    @DaffyGirl88, I had to Google Dyngus Day. It's origins and it's metamorphosis are very interesting! Apparently Hungary has a Dyngus Day, too, (although it is called something else) but that is on my husband's side. I also discovered that it is very big in Buffalo! So, Happy Dyngus Day to you as well!! What will you do today to celebrate seeing as you are not in Buffalo anymore?

    @HASWLRS Buffalo is the Dyngus Day capital of the US. You should come down one year and check it out! Parades, drinking, dancing, drinking, *kitten* willows, drinking. Good times!! :D To celebrate I made placek, a Polish bread. Which is by no means low anything! It's basically butter sugar and eggs. LOL Recipe below, but I make a version that doesn't require yeast.

    The pictures in that recipe thread look very good! I have another MFP friend from the Buffalo area, so I wished her a Happy Dyngus Day, too! Apparently it is the thing to do if you are from Buffalo. Who knew? Thanks for the education!

    Hey all. I’m going to be going on vacation later this week.
    I will not have a scale so can I roll over my weight for week 1?
    Also, we are staying at a cabin in the mountains, our goal when we go there is to get away from everything in life including especially staring at our phones so I will be inactive until the middle of next week.
    See you all next week

    Have a wonderful time!! That's great that you get away from your phones.

    Logged: no
    Under: no
    Exercise: yes, I went for a 25 minute walk and I did my physiotherapy exercises for my knee.

    I made a casserole for dinner and it would have been very hard to log accurately, so I didn't even bother trying. I did go a little stupid, though, in eating too much just because I wasn't logging. I need to rein that behaviour in on days that I do not log for one reason or another.

    I completely understand this - eating too much because not logging in! Can relate.

    Thank you, Christine, for the insight. That is very interesting that Garmin can set up a program for you based on the parameters you give it. It's a Vivoactive, you said?

    @HASWLRS yes, I have the vivoactive 4. It was a little pricey, but it was definitely worth it.

    I had plans to start in on weightlifting this week but I always forget this time of month is the worst time to be pushing my body and my body has been trying to warn me!! So I’ve Been taking it very easy and pacing myself, doing extra stretches in between any walks. Also I’m taking a lot of warm baths which have really been helping alleviate some of the pressure I’ve been feeling on my lower back and abdomen.
    Looks like allot of our stimulus is going to my next water bill!!😱👀🛁🛁

    It is so frustrating that Fitbit steps aren't syncing until the next day. I went to bed, I don't know, 500 cals in the red, but woke up to 200 in the green! I knew it was going to be that way, so I wasn't sweatin' it. However, I purposely didn't close out my diary, because then, on my news feed, it looks like I had a binge day! Since I am not making exercise posts, I like to have the "completed diary and under" post....it lets my friends know I am still here and still working the program!
