26 weeks and counting. Woohoo 6 months. I'm slowly gaining weight we have lots of ripe fruit, apricots, plums, and nectarines. Hopefully I can stay under 140. There is yardwork to be done, I need to get out there and burn off some fruit. The wind has been blowing and broke some branches off of the apricot tree, it has too much fruit this year. I'll go back and catch up on the posts when I get some free time. I loved the "I tried starting a day without coffee. My court date is pending." post.

@trooworld - My take away from the 4th of July challenge is that I often eat because I feel like eating and not because I'm hungry. It's good for me to check in with myself before I actually eat. I have not perfected this skill. And the scale is going no where. But learning new skills is a good thing. I hope you are feeling better today. My hubs gets vertigo sometimes and it is not fun at all.

@Katmary71 - that's exactly what I was going to say- "is that person really a FRIEND?" Nope.

I have not been doing great at working my plan this week. I've noticed that after a gain, it's harder to be motivated and then not losing becomes a self fulfilling prophecy- if that makes any sense.

@sleepygirl79 You going to the lake on the weekends brings back memories of my family and me going to "the lake" when I was growing up. Thanks for the memories, I hope you have a blast!

@Katmary71 I am feeling marginally better today. I didn't go to work yesterday after all, I just was too unstable, and I likely won't go today either. I'm sorry you had a tough night. That's awful that your friend shamed/made fun of you, I'm so sorry that happened.

@ddainiak Congrats on the loss!

@Cornanda That's a good takeaway. You are working on it, that's great. Not feeling much better but oh well. Yes, it is not fun. What you say makes sense. I feel that way too, after a gain.

Hi all. Well, I didn't end up going to work yesterday: I was too unstable to drive an hour away so I worked from home. I will likely work from home today as well as I don't feel that much better. I've done the Epley maneuver which is supposed to help with vertigo but it isn't helping yet, I will keep doing it as sometimes it takes a few times.

4th of July challenge: Tracked 100% of what I ate yesterday.

My phrase for the year: "Every choice is another chance to change my health for the better."

Sorry I’m late with my weigh in. I seem to have lost my MoJo. Maybe July will be better.

@FushiaKat Congratulations on 6 months! I love all the delicious fruit right now, I’m having trouble fitting it all in too!
@Cornanda I do understand the loss of motivation after a gain, it’s hard not to comfort eat because your weight is going lower but then it REALLY won’t go lower.

@Brigit02 I think you said something important about weight control being ongoing, you aren’t magically at goal then it’s over or you won’t stay there long. I’m so glad you came back.

@trooworld If you have to stay home and recover it’s understandable, hang in there. Here’s for anyone else who’s curious what the Epley maneuver is as I was,I hope it helps!: https://youtu.be/9SLm76jQg3g

@txcritter69 WOW those are awesome, I love it! I have vertical vine envy! I’m definitely going to have to do that next year, I think this year they’re just going to be along the ground unless I get creative with a bunch of sticks but trellises would be easier. Crockett looks like a lot of fun!

@DJill68 Only a week left until the 4th, end this month strong you got this! Even if the rest of the month wasn’t the best it feels good to have at least one good day going into the next month.

@mkksemail Congratulations on making goal!

Hi team! Not too exciting of a day, got a prescription, worked out, and cleaned out the shed. Have some work to do and cleaning but I’m kind of out of steam. My ex-boyfriend does have kidney cancer in the earlier stages, he has some testing then a treatment plan will be discussed next week.
- Good body mechanics while cleaning the shed, made a conscious effort there.

@txcritter69 Wow, those cucumbers! And lucky you, I bet homegrown cantaloupe is wonderful. I had such a great time in LA. Yeah, I don't put my face out there much on here but every once in a while. What a cool place to explore. And great pics, you look like you are having a good time!

@DJill68 You've got this, hang in there.

@mkksemail Great job! I hope the weather gets better where you are soon.

@Katmary71 Thanks! Oh thanks for posting the video of the Epley maneuver. I'm sure people were like, "What the heck is that?" lol Take it easy if you can today. I'm sorry about Bill's health.

@DrewsAnna Yay for your efforts and progress! Does the Voltaren help? I have a bunion, too. I'm going to the podiatrist about it next week.

Hi all. I am feeling a little better this morning. No meds yet and I am able to walk without holding onto the walls lol. The weather is warming up here in Southern California, and finally some sunshine after about a month or two of gray skies. The news said we are supposed to have a heatwave but weather.com says it will be in the 70s.

@DrewsAnna There’s my girl! So glad you’re seeing a difference and doing well. Oh no hope that bunion calms down, Volteran the heck out of it! Well not too much or you’ll get bruises, you know what I mean. Good luck with your weigh-in tomorrow!

@trooworld I thought I knew a lot about health but hadn’t heard of that one, very interesting! So glad you’re feeling a little better. Yes it’s definitely warming up, the cooler weather meant I got some early peppers for a change.

@tfelts147 Yep still heading the right way! Have a wonderful vacation, sounds like the perfect place to do a lot of walking!

@Brigit02 Look at all those beautiful flowers! Your garden is so pretty, I’m just starting to learn more about flowers, there’s definitely a good difference in pollination with them in with veggies but I’m enjoying having them in the house too and sharing with people.

Hi everyone, on a little later than usual. We decided to wait on the greenhouse for next week since it’s getting real warm but the food bank farm manager let me know the most of the herbs I started last week sprouted. Aside of that it was workout, work, cleaning, getting Papa Murphy pizzas for my nephews and Dad for tomorrow when they help me with the drip system, then out to dinner with my neighbor. Finally have a nearby not-too-expensive Chinese food place to go to! Have a great Friday team, this week flew!

-good body mechanics
- great water (upping it), chair cardio, weight/strength for legs and abs, stretching then probably right at calories after Chinese food. I have a few challenging meals coming up so I’m trying to be as careful as possible while still enjoying it as I don’t want to lose any progress.

@Brigit02 - thanks for what you said- you gave me something to think about. Love seeing your garden pix.

@trooworld - how are you doing today? Vertigo sucks.

@katmary71- I'm sorry about Bill. Look at you getting back into exercising in spite of your bad back.

@txcritter69 - your garden is lovely and your day out looked fun.

@tfelts147 - You've had some nice losses lately- Congrats! Enjoy your vacation!

@19shmoo69 - your joke is too brainiac for me.

@DrewsAnna - Nice loss! Ouch- I hope your hand feels better today.

Have a great Friday everyone!
