Well, the season of bartending for slugs has arrived. Every evening, I go out and top up the beer in the little cups strategically placed throughout the beds. At least I get to eat my lettuce and kale that way I buy the cheapest, crappiest beer possible - but they seem to like it anyhow!
I love the image of the slugs lining up waiting to be served. The cool weather here gives my garden a reprieve from attacks. When spring arrives I will be retired and will have more time for the battle.

Just a quick check-in!
We are delayed until tomorrow in leaving for the lake because we have special birthday plans with a good friend of ours tonight. We are taking him and his wife to the zoo for a special chef's dinner. Should be fun.
I rode the Peloton twice this week. Activity has been good. Therapy started yesterday and I enjoyed the therapist. With busy schedules and upcoming holidays I won't see her again for almost a month but there are already some things for me to think about.
It feels like Brad and I have been eating a bit better lately.. we are both thinking about that bike race. Although I had a massive epic meltdown binge the night before weigh-in.... just not good. Part of my therapy work will hopefully help address some of the triggers that lead me to that behavior.
The sun is back here too.. after a lot of much needed rain it's shining. My dog and I really enjoyed our walk.
I've also been better about water the past few days.. just the simple act of filling a bottle to have with me feels onerous sometimes (silly!) but I made it work.
Really going for a loss next week!!5 -
@wdalzell5401 Welcome to the 60s!! I'm at the very end of that lovely decade, and enjoying it so far. I hope you do too It certainly sounds like you are starting it off in style - and we want to hear all about your secret 2-day getaway! That sounds fabulous.
@ashleycarole86 A chef's dinner at the zoo - wow! That sounds like fun. Instead of terrible background music you have lions and screechy birds and monkeys! Perfect soundtrack. I'm glad the sun came back and you had a good walk with the pup. Good old walking and biking - it sure helps lift the mood and calm the wild stress that happens. Hugs to you!
I got sunburned today - first time in ages. It was so hot and sunny I was out gardening in a camisole and shorts, and then got a bit carried away. There were a lot of weeds! Then more stuff to plant! Then watering! Yeah.... I kept thinking I really have to go in and put on a shirt over the cami. But I didn't. There was no one there to put sun screen on my back, so that is the only place that got burned, at least.
Earlier in the day, Jasper and I had a good ride. He had a couple of adolescent bratty moments, but got over himself and went along fine after that. He was like a very large kid who decides, NOPE I'M NOT GOING THAT WAY. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME. But finally he does. Silly thing.
OK - off to bartending duties Gotta keep those slugs happy.

Down a little. I’ll take it. I am right there with you @conleywoods - I am really really really resisting logging too. Good advice @jugar
I’m making a little progress at the house. I am kinda stuck and am not getting a ton done. But I got some pictures hung today and put a few things away. Tiny baby steps. I found my binder from when I taught first great a while back and have all my lesson plans.
Weather here is super rainy. Going to be that way for days. Luckily, I did 19 minutes of Pilates yesterday and took a walk the day before, so again little steps.
Haven’t had much water today. Why do I do that?4 -
I've had a bad couple days eating wise. My husband's birthday was yesterday and I ate donuts, bbq, fries, and pizza. Then today I ate my normal breakfast and lunch, but my dad was visiting and we went to a buffet dinner 😯 I did go on a 3 mile walk today and plan to go to my body pump class tomorrow. I need to rein in my eating though.4

Last round-up of the week - don't forget to get these numbers in - thanks!

@wdalzell5401 happy birthday. How exciting for a surprise trip this weekend. Can only imagine how fun it will be
@wishfuljune happy birthday. I’ve never heard of live podcasting event but sounds like so much fun
@ashleycarole86 great job getting the workouts in. Unpacking some deep roots is not easy
I finally finished my stats course and did really well but at the expense of my mental health and eating habits. This is something I need to address as I will have more courses this fall. Besides that went to a live symphony event where they played Harry Potter on a big screen and my daughter was in heaven. Also a big family wedding today I’m excited for
Have a great weekend4 -

Had a pretty good week - continuing to eat healthy but still not getting in enough exercise. It’s been in the 90’s with high humidity and air quality warnings but I’m just using that as an excuse 😉 but is a new week and an opportunity to improve!!
@wishfuljune Happy Birthday! Sounds like a fun day!4 -
I'm thinking these Friday night trips to the Waffle House with my boyfriend after he gets off work are causing the nausea. Fighting it again this morning.

No loss. No gain. I'll take it.
I wish I would have had the FitBit on at work one day. I walked right out the door and left it on the charger.
Steps:
SAT: 6771
SUN: 5533
MON: 26727
TUES: 20977
WED: 470 (Charger day)
THURS: 17020
FRI: 9821
TOTAL: 87,319
I did get the morning steps before I put the fitbit on the charger Wednesday.
Missed my weekly target by a little over 3600 steps.
I got to step it up.
Probably going to push-mow the whole yard today. I mowed all but the front yard on Monday. With all of the rain we've had, it needs to be cut again.5 -

That is all.
I live WAY too near an amazing little bakery with the best, most evil, conniving, and irresistible cookies ever devised. I feel your pain.3 -

If you need the week excused or anything, just let me know. Thanks!1 -
@ashleycarole86 oh no! Crumbl cookies are the best!1

I need to find out what Crumbl Cookies are! We just got notified that an Olivia Bistro-Boutique is opening up at our exit from the highway. Delicious salads, tacos and stuffed avocado's. It will hurt my budget more than my waistline.
@jugar the last 2 days I have forgotten to get on the scale in the morning so I will do my best to make it happen before 8am eastern, otherwise please excuse me for this week.
