    @huango @quiltingjaine thanks!

    @itladyee thanks, and you are ahead of me. I did not run until second year pandemic. Only did a little and then quit (long story). Now trying to pull myself together! :)

    @tishawj i got my mammogram this afternoon too. Now sitting in parking lot did annual physical. Hope your results are good!

    @mkksemail portland ME is such a nice city! DGS = darling grand son :)

    @lunalovefool key to weighing is consistency. I weigh first thing in am. Hubby weighs after coffee or after exercise depending on his day.

    5/8. 139.4 - a wonderful walk to Llandudno, along the promenade to Happy Valley at the bottom of the Great Orme, a Coronation cream tea and then back; 11.6 miles. 80% exercise calories eaten back. Today is as forecast to be wet wet wet all day, not a pleasant journey home ahead 🥲, still, we've had the most amazing couple of days so can't grumble.

    First, congratulations on your achievement, @musicsax ! Losing - and keeping off - 66 lbs takes effort, persistence, perseverance, and will power 🥳🎉

    But second, it sounds like you had a lovely day yesterday, despite the weather ☺️. I was curious about your Coronation cream tea … what is a cream tea, and was it made differently in honor of the Coronation?

    Cheers
    - mk :) (Maine/US)

    Cream tea is a scone with jam & clotted cream (some people have butter too, but not me) and traditionally tea is drunk with it, but I always have coffee. There was nothing different for the Coronation, but we had it as our own celebration!! I always have my jam on first and then cream on top, but in other parts of the UK people have the reverse!!

    I finally discovered my local grocery has clotted cream and double cream! I made some scones (I ensured it wasn't an Americanized recipe though I can't say how accurate they are to the real deal over in the UK), bought some delicious jam, and IT IS SO GOOD! I tried it with cream then jam but that's simply because I had opened the cream first to taste it by itself so I went ahead and spread it on first. I'll have to switch it up and see if it changes in taste.
    Cream tea sounds delightful, I might have to have my own little cream tea. I will usually have a tea as a late morning treat and, if needed, an afternoon pick-me-up anyway.

    I’m tapping into the hive mind, please…. My insurance offers a discount on activity trackers, so I’m thinking of getting either a Fitbit or a Garmin, a more basic model. I’ve never had one. Thoughts from those of you who do on what features you’ve found useful, and your satisfaction with your device? Thanks!

    RND 222

    HW: 175

    SW this round 161.2

    Goals This round: It's gonna be a busy week. Gym 3 times at least. Extra steps wherever possible. Prioritize water and sleep.

    5/2 DNW
    5/3 161. 6
    5/4 162.6 UGH. Wrong direction wrong direction. It's stress, poor sleep, not enough water more stress, and lack of time to exercise. Eating has been fine, and possibly even not enough. But I am super stressed, bloated, and icky feeling. This might not be the round I see 150s after all, which will be pretty disappointing.
    5/5 161.8
    5/6 DNW
    5/7 159.4 Pretty ecstatic that I am finally hitting this on a day after the absolute busiest, most stressful week I have had in a long time. I didn't fit in exercise other than tons of steps naturally through my busy-ness. But I planned my food as best as possible and prioritized myself in getting what my body needs. So happy and ready to keep working my way down the 150s.
    5/8 159.8 Slightly up but in a totally normal way. Don't think I will make it to the gym much in these extremely busy next few weeks but hope to continue focusing on food and getting more walks in.

    Hi!
    @fmfdfa2020 @SModa61
    I really enjoy the Ascent brand’s whey protein. I enjoy their chocolate, vanilla and cookies & cream flavor (haven’t tried the others) It’s super smooth and doesn’t clump up like a lot of other powders do. I usually just mix it with almond milk and use a milk frother to mix it in my glass and add the nut butters right to the glass. It tastes good mixed with water too just a touch thinner. I usually only add 8g of nut butter or so to the shake/whatever fits in my plan that day.

    As the weather warms up, I’ll start adding frozen fruit/frozen greens like spinach to them too. I’m always cold so I try not to drink super cold drinks unless it’s hot out.

    For the hazelnut chocolate butter, the original recipe didn’t call for chocolate chips or the instant coffee powder but I wanted to mix it up. The added chips are 1 tbs milk chocolate chips and 1 tbs 72% dark. This nut butter doesn’t taste super sweet either.

    The macadamia nut butter also has about 1/2 teas of cinnamon added to it.

    65 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 222 (my 153rd). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
    A good start to this round; back down under 140 this morning, so I aim to stay under this and hopefully lose another pound. I am fed up with repeating myself and berating myself for messing up, it’s time I really got back on track. After all I am what I eat in more ways than one, my whole demeanour is totally different when I am happy with myself!!
    Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 130. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

    5/2 139.8 – 9.45 miles walked yesterday, just over 50% of exercise calories eaten back.
    5/3 140.4 - 9.23 miles walked, 85 % of exercise calories eaten back. A tad disappointed at the uptick over 140, but hoping it is just a normal fluctuation.
    5/4 140.8 – 9.23 miles walked, 20% exercise calories eaten back, this must start a downward trend soon !! Happy Star Wars day !!
    5/5 140.8 – no structured walking as child minding little DGS, hence 500 calories over.

    exercise.png

    5/6. 139.8 - 6.72 miles walked, 270 calories over (indulged in 2 adult beverages, Pimms & wine).
    5/7 139.6 - 9.41 miles yesterday, down to the sea front along to the far end of Colwyn Bay, returned via Penryn. Did indulge in an ice cream, ⅔ exercise calories eaten back. Recorded the highlights of the Coronation to watch on our return, long live the king!
    5/8 139.4 - a wonderful walk to Llandudno, along the promenade to Happy Valley at the bottom of the Great Orme, a Coronation cream tea and then back; 11.6 miles. 80% exercise calories eaten back. Today is as forecast to be wet wet wet all day, not a pleasant journey home ahead 🥲, still, we've had the most amazing couple of days so can't grumble.
    5/9 140.4? - 6.752 miles walked; managed to get a rain free window after we had travelled home & unpacked the caravan. 95% exercise calories eaten back.
    11 binge free days.
