    @SheilaBoneham He's so stinking cute! I wish there was a "love" button for reacting to posts but even that wouldn't suffice. Now I gotta find my little turds and snuggle them a little more to get the cuteness overload out of my system haha!

    I’m surprised, as I overindulged yesterday. Probably catch me tomorrow!

    Yep, there it is. And it’s ok. This cold weather (14F right now) brings out my inner black bearβ€”I want to eat and sleep! I’ve been doing lots of short training sessions with 12-week-old Booker (he thinks we’re playing) to direct his energy, and I got this cute pic yesterday. I wonder what he’s thinking about!

    @CamandJarvis My mom and dad told me that if they had after dinner coffee with guests, I went around draining the dregs from the cups - before age 2!

    I'm sure I had it before then, but I do know by aged 4 it was a daily thing. I'd have a little tiny teacup size kiddy cup while grandpa would have his normal big mug and we'd sit at the campground (he was a host there) and enjoy nature while sipping our coffees. I think that's why I have such a fondness for it. It still brings me that feeling from childhood of being in nature, relaxing, and beginning the day on a peaceful note even after all these years.

    @CamandJarvis back in the mid to late 1960's my mother drank an instant coffee called Taster's Choice. As far back as kindergarten or 1st grade for me I would take some out of the jar everyday and put a few droplets of water on it so I could roll it into a ball and suck on it. LOL. I still love my coffee more than just about anything else to this day (although I don't drink or eat instant coffee anymore lol).

    I love everything about this little conversation. Instant coffee reminds me too much of the Army so I don't drink it, but I love love love my coffee otherwise!

    @clprieur thanks for the information. I didn't realise that dried apricots are high in iron compared to other plant-based foods.

    @quiltingjaine thanks for the warning. I am not doing low carb but my carbs naturally sit at around 100g. I have 15g of dried apricots at morning tea but I will keep an eye out for increased drive for sugary foods. I look at them as a treat food and will be careful about how many I have.

    Congrats on goal!!! Hitting that 200lb milestone would push me to lose the extra 5, too. Haha. I've thought about how to maintain many times throughout my yo-yo journey.... not that I've ever come close to my goal weight.... but I know that I'll always have to track as well. Or perhaps I'll continue to weigh and have a weight range that I'll allow myself to fluctuate within. Idk how people do it.

    Thanks so much! It is a bizarre thing, to tell the truth! I have never been at this weight (at least not since I was younger than 13 yo) and I am kind of weirded out! I will try my best to maintain... but I have gained and lost so many times that it is difficult to stay positive!!

    2/03 - 180.8 - Glad I got out for good walk yesterday as a polar vortex has hit Ontario...it's flippin -25C out there today (-35 with the wind chill), even the dog won't walk in this!! Made beef stroganoff in the crock pot for dinner last night, had mine over a pile of roasted cauliflower instead of noodles, it was delicious!!

    This weather can go to hell and die. LOL. I am usually a big walker (and I have a very nervous rescue dog that needs a LOT of exercise) so this -25 stuff is the worst. Also, it is expensive, because I had to go clothes-shopping all day instead of walking!! ;)
