    @globalhiker Im in for joining you for the last three days of August AF. For some reason just writing that I’ve been AF since 8/20 has put pressure on me (?)
    We can do it!!!

    @Womona I LOVE pesto sauce. I had grilled chicken with zhoug sauce (cheated, store bought) which is similar but spicier.

    Yummy pesto sauce. I had my visiting friend make it for me several times, with the ask that he make it from my Oregano instead of basil. Perfect timing with us harvesting my garlic on the first day that he was here.
    I used Konjac noodles with it once, he didn't notice the difference that they are only 10 calories for the entire package vs. "real" pasta.

    I tried Yoga dutifully for 6 months every day, but it just wasn't for me. My sister is a Yoga teacher, and her daughter is a Yoga Master. I didn't get that gene. Hip-hop-ish dance is way more fun for me.
    There are lots and lots of good Yoga classes on Youtube, many of them free.
    Let us know how the Yoga works out for you, it helps so many people.

    I am Dawn. I joined this thread in November of 2018


    My usual goal: 16-20 AF per month.
    I had 19AF days for July.

    Diary style (I post the next morning)


    Sunday August 28 - AF - Had some weird AF pinot grigio sparkling pear thing, it actually was pretty good. Hit my 16 : - )
    Monday August 29 - AF - Had the other half of the can of that sparkling (saving calories as usual, otherwise it would have been double the calories of my gin cocktails). We had a cool weather change for a week, now we are back to hot weather. Trying to keep up my tan before Mexico (even though it is forecast to rain the entire time that I am there) just got easier with the weather change back to summer.

    Rolling total: 17AF days out of 29 days
