    @Cornanda Do you want to brainstorm a bit here on what’s going on for feedback? I hope you get to the bottom of it, I know that’s super frustrating.

    @micaroo4 I like it, great goals!

    @txcritter69 I hadn’t really thought of starting some of that now until I was listening to “what to plant in July” videos, I hope your tomatoes pick up and you get those cukes in. Love green beans, do you do bush or pole? I hope the pickles work out!

    @trooworld That recipe looks good, hope they turn out well!

    @sleepygirl79 @broncobuddee @Brigit02 Top of the winners this last week, way to go!

    Hi friends. I’ve been dehydrating herbs, doing laundry, and resting most the day. Did a light workout too. Have a great Monday team! I bought a peach tea for iced tea and threw in some ginger, hopefully it will turn out good.

    No zeros- healthy food under calories, good workout, great water.

    I haven't checked in, I'm so out of the routine, I think I might have gained some weight in the middle of last week. I'm going to start over on Monday! I am so sorry, I'm really disappointed in myself!

    @Katmary71 My grandson had a strawberry & mango with popping bubbles blended with ice. It was the best one I've ever had. I had a blended banana with popping bubbles and it was really good to. I tried a mocha with tapioca last week and it was
    horrible. I'm not experienced with them, just gotta keep testing different ones.

    Hey, y'all,

    Last night, I drank some white claws again. Once again I tried to be mindful, I drank about 7 or 8 claws, but I also had a grilled roast beef and cheddar sandwich with a side salad. It was really good and I only ate half the sandwich, I'll finish the other half tomorrow. Today, I had a chicken quesadilla for dinner on a Xtreme wellness spinach and herb tortilla and a side salad.

    I'm really trying to get back on track. For the first time in over a week I finally took the time to log all my food and close my diary. I know that tracking is key, so I have to do that. I told the "kid" (as I call her) that we have to start exercising again.

    Alright, time to go, I'm really tired. Y'all have a good evening!

    @Katmary71 Thanks for the congrats! I was scared to get on the scale today. Had my family over for BBQ and completely overate all the wrong stuff. I can't believe my weight stayed the same. Going to be extra good this week.

    @sleepygirl79 Don't worry about gaining a little weight. It's part of the process. Next time you'll probably weigh less.

    I’m enjoying summer for all the wrong reasons. I’m off to camp for the rest of this week so I plan to get in a lot of steps and swimming. I just have to keep away from the wine and snacks.

    Sorry I’m late. Just got back from a much needed little vacation! Obviously I blew it, but back to the diet today.

    So, I had my family over for a BBQ on the weekend and there was A LOT of cookies, cake and chocolate left over. And, today was just one of those days when you look at a piece of bakery cake and some Godiva chocolate and think: "there are way worse things in this world than a housewife eating sugar"

    (I will be better tomorrow. There isn't any more cake and I'm packing the rest of the chocolate in my husband's lunchbox.)

    @mareeya88 Are you starting over today? Just look forward (unless you’re learning from it don’t beat yourself up), you got this!

    @DrewsAnna Yum that sounds amazing, I’ll look for the fruity ones to try then. Great choice today with the quesadilla and logging today!

    @Brigit02 It’s funny weigh-ins after eating something like that feel like a “get outta jail free card” don’t they! Enjoying food isn’t bad and yeah Godiva would be hard to resist!

    @trooworld I’m not getting a lot of sleep right now which makes the pain worse plus it’s spreading while I wait for the snail to get from my doctor’s office with my referral to the neurosurgeon. Today’s cooler is 103, can’t tell it’s not 109 like yesterday. I hope it’s better there! Thanks for asking re the pain. I really miss my tea helping.

    @megnolia82 Have a great time at camp!

    @DJill68 shoot you have me quoting Eminem “Snap back to reality up there goes gravity”. I’ll have to listen that tomorrow to get it out of my head. It’s great how if we really do get back to it fast it’s not as bad as it seems and tends to come off pretty quick.

    Hi team, had a tough night last night and didn’t get to sleep until about 3. I worked out then ran errands and met my friend and her mom for ice cream. Not much up, it’s super hot and I’m tired and grumpy. Have a great Tuesday team.

    No Zero Days- good workout though I limited myself on weights to keep my arm from going out, food was over for ice cream with a friend, water was good.

    @Katmary71 thanks! I don't even listen to Eminem and now I've got that song in my head.

    @trooworld It does, honestly I never hear any females from perimenopause on that has good sleep, if we could find something to help it all of us we could take over the world! It’s both pain and I’m assuming hormonal stuff for me. How did the sandwiches turn out, did you try one yet? I know water, not snacking, and not eating at the café have been challenging areas so you did awesome today!

    @19shmoo69 Haha I’ve reached pesky sister status in this group!
    Hi friends! Usually Tuesday, I did a light upper body workout (having a lot of right shoulder down arm stuff so I went REAL light to not flare it up) and stretched then went to the farm. We’re turning into master garlic braiders! I taught 5 people how to do it but we still have a couple more days. I like finishing tasks but can’t go too often so all the garlic everywhere is nerve-wracking. It IS nice being in the shade during this heat wave though. Back on track with food today too. Have an awesome Wednesday!

    No Zero Days- decent workout plus farm, healthy food under calories, decent water.

    Weigh-In Tuesday
    SW: 245
    Maintenance Goal 135 - 140
    Weeks in maintenance 26 of 52

    PW: 135.6
    CW: 137.4

    Still in healthy BMI range. Had 3 month checkup today all is OK> got blood work done today.

    @FushiaKat I’m curious are you finding rewards now for maintenance? I try to still do them every once and awhile but haven’t recently. I need to restock my fruit for the week, my last strawberries weren’t as sweet so may be time to move on. I usually wait until summer to eat them but you were getting good ones early last year and I gave it a shot and lucked out. Haha I picture you getting sassy when the scale was 4lbs lower like “yeah, that’s what I thought!”

    The strawberries this year have not been very sweet, but I pair them with pineapple, and it evens out the sweetness.

    I reward myself by
    • Buying a new Blouse on Amazon, being a perfect size medium is now easy to shop for.
    • I buy a book.
    • I download a new book to read from Kindle Unlimited.
    • I buy new makeup.
    • I take a long relaxing bath with bubbles and a bath bomb.
    • I buy a new game membership.
    • I window shop, to find new things to buy later.

    It does not have to be all or nothing, I eat smaller slices of cake slower if I can't resist and I'm happy with that. It's important to stop and taste my food. I find that I eat slower now.

    Hi All

    Just a quick check in.

    Congratulations to everyone losing and those who made the leaderboard.

    I’m quiet these days. I’m not tracking, but I am moving. Getting my 10k daily. Having low carbs but more than previous months. Definitely starting my days with high protein foods. Haven’t had time to workout but getting exercise minutes from my walks uphill.

    I’m so happy to be busy outside but it doesn’t leave time for catching up. It’s 2 am here and I am off to sleep.

    Have a great day

    @FushiaKat That’s great advice on eating slower. I like your rewards! My next one may be a pair of dragon earrings, I want a couple practical things but that's not too expensive (and I love dragons).

    @trooworld You’re doing awesome avoiding the café! I hope your appointment went well for your knee, definitely want you going to that convention having a blast.

    @AmbersWay It sounds like you’re still doing really good while there, keep up the great work!

    Slow couple days here, I hope all of you are doing well! Nothing exciting to report here, I picked up a donation at the nursery I love for a charity event and came home with some plants I’ll get in tomorrow, not the greatest planting time but we’re going back up again so it’s the best time for a few days. Back on track after ice cream the other day, been doing good with eating lately thank goodness. Have an awesome Thursday!

    No Zero Days- chair cardio/legs/abs, stretching, watering the yard. Healthy food under calories and decent water, I’ll drink a lot more before bed.

    Wow, it is super quiet here.

    @FushiaKat - you are doing so well, I admire you. Love your rewards!

    @trooworld @Katmary71 - my "mature lady" insomnia has not acted up in awhile, but guess who showed up this week?! Not fun.

    @trooworld - good work on the bfast sandwiches and I hope your knee feels better so you can enjoy your convention.

    @AmbersWay - sounds like you are enjoying your time away!

    @Katmary71 - How's your pain doing? Is all the garlic braided?

    I did a "gut check" week. Carefully observing for ways I am not being honest with myself with working my plan. Found a few things to fix.

    @trooworld- I didn't say that well- the insomnia came back this week. That sucks about your knee and your doctor and husband lecturing you. Maybe you can find a little quiet time to yourself to reflect and decide how YOU want to handle this? My husband has been on my case lately and while I appreciate that it comes from a place of caring, AND I need some extra accountability, I don't enjoy the conversations. I guess I'm not supposed to.

    @tfelts147 - You got this! Get back to work and focus on your goal and that cruise every day.

    @19shmoo69 - Where do you find these things? That cracked me up.

    OK, decent week- some of the gains came off. Found a few more things to work on. Awareness is my friend! Now to behave over the weekend!

    Also, I would just like to say that while I love my children very much, it is challenging to live with two young adults in my home. You never know what mood is on the horizon.
