@LaurieWrobo Thank you, it is lovely to read they help you take your mind off your problems for a while.
@CasandraW Thank you too! I just worry it is a bit too much sometimes.

Hi all,
I've been busy with planning and preparing for a trip. We're going to San Francisco for a few days, leaving tomorrow. We just decided 2 to 3 weeks ago that we were doing this, so it's been stressful, trying to plan it last minute.
Unfortunately, that means that I've not been focusing on meals or steps, just cleaning out the fridge and getting all the laundry done. And work. But I'm not beating myself up. I only have so much bandwidth, and I plan on a fresh start when I get back. I'm grateful that my weight has held steady.
Question... Is there a quick way to get to our group on the MFP app? I have it "favorited" but don't see a way to navigate to favorites.
Cheers,
Stacy

Bad day yesterday-ended up taking my husband to ER b/c he had blood in his stool-ran blood test, etc everything came back normal - then last night right after he ate, he threw up - I wasn't home I was getting a cut/color
So we see cancer dr next Wednesday to see what will happen - I don't think my hubby can continue on the chemo b/c he gets so sick
Hugs. Just hugs

Wrong direction. Not a surprise though. Last week was a huge drop and I’ve been off the rails for 3 days. Gotta get back on track2 -
@pupowl I absolutely adore your posts & pictures - I love nature (and live in the suburbs) so I absolutely love when you share. Honestly i think you can make an income (incase you don't already) from selling your photos. I'm Currently daydreaming about bike-riding through that vast-open field path that goes across the park 🚲🌾 ... love love love3

If you'll scroll all the way to the bottom in the app when you're in Community, you'll see a list of your bookmarks, just above Popular Tags...hope this helps. Enjoy your trip!

Nice loss this week @PatriceFitnessPal !!
I've been working on my attitude this week...counting all of the things I'm grateful for has really helped remind me how much I have going for me. My NSV this week is that I'm two days into the renovation and I'm so happy and excited at what i'm seeing. I've only eaten out once during that time and it was well within my calories, heavy on protein, light on fat and full of broccoli! I'm still leaning heavily into apples as my main snack after lunch, in the afternoons.
This COVID scare has been a pill, but so far I'm feeling ok and I really think my test tomorrow will be negative. I have had a little bit of a sore throat and some sneezing but I have year-round allergies and that's what it feels like to me. I will let you guys know in the morning how it goes. I'm scheduled to go back to the office on Tuesday unless it's positive. AND STILL my attitude has been good.
How did I get to this successful point...not giving in when times get hard, cravings hit or I get to feeling "woe is me"...this is the hand I was dealt and I'm learning that if I want something, I either have to cut a few corners and make it a little healthier or limit my portions and just eat a portion of it. Eat to live...don't live to eat...
My next goal is to get back to the scale in a couple of weeks. I've been taking a break...and then hit it hard again, work the plan, cut back a little more than I have been and keep my attitude happy and ready to work. I want to see those numbers come down again...
Hope you've had a good week! Thanks for supporting me through good times and bad...and for keeping it real!
@pupowl loved the pictures of the birds, the butterflies and the roads you're walking...I love that you take the time to share that with us...beautiful job!

This should be the last remnants of the vacation gain so I’m ok with that. A bit of a splurge today, since it was my birthday, but could have been a lot worse. I went to Starbucks for my birthday treat. Many years it was a double chocolate chip Frappuccino. Today I got a venti iced cold brew with a splash of almond milk and three pumps mocha syrup. Less than 100 calories and I didn’t feel deprived at all!
Has my second nutritionist appointment today and vacation really messed up my numbers all around. If I can’t get back on track by the next appointment, she’s going to recommend I go on a low carb diet. I really have to work on increasing my water intake and getting my walks in. The triple digit heat is really making it challenging to get out and walk, and I think that’s affecting my blood glucose levels.4 -
