    @refactored, Thanks so much. No, you didn't miss the onederland celebration, there wasn't any. Besides, I've been here a FEW times 😆 Just putting in the work. My breakthroughs will be 180's and 170's.

    @deepwoodslady, Donna, Owen is a cutie! I kept Grands every day from infancy. 1 until 4yo, two others until 2yo. 7 total years. They are a joy! But the last 2 wreaked havoc on my diet and exercise time. I only had time to eat toast and drink water. My son said I was on the toast diet🤣

    Ok, it is what it is. I went over my calorie goal, well below supposed maintenance. This afternoon I’m going to chart the past month or more of calories and weights to see how my record aligns with MFP and Sailrabbit and adjust from there. I feel really bloated and disgusted with myself, but I’m trying to put an “in control” spin on it. I think I’ll make my bead-free salmon patties for dinner — they’re filling and virtuous.

    8/01 - 185.4, 1456, 45 min.
    Nope, had a measured portion of penne and chicken for dinner, and was really hungry when I got home from dog training in the evening. I’m going to have a very small lunch today, and grilled chicken with cauliflower for dinner. I had a good high-protein breakfast that should hold me through the day. I really think if I ate dinner later, I wouldn’t overeat. DH likes to eat early, so I’m going to have to figure out a system that will work. Sit down with him, warm mine up later? Maybe. For 31+ years, I’ve eaten mainly by his schedule because he’s very scheduled/organized/routine-driven and I’m not, so whatever. But the early dinners just aren’t working for me anymore. Anyone else live with someone with a very different internal food schedule? How do you handle it?

    8/02 - 185, 1836, 40 min.
    Once again, my calories were great until late evening, and then I went on a carb rampage. Ugh.

    8/03 - 185.2, 1542, 65 min.
    Ok, better all around yesterday. I’m off in a few minutes for my post-cataract-surgery checkup with my regular doctor, hoping he clears me for a new prescription—my vision is blurry with my glasses. Yesterday I took Booker to the vet to weigh him — 59 lbs! Then we went to a city park that is a farm and had a lovely walk, and he saw his first chickens. 🐓 Being out there adjusted my attitude a bit — I’ve spent so much of the summer at home pulling weeds, I was kind of down. I realized how I’ve missed getting out to our beautiful parks, so I’ll be doing more of that. Also set some goals for Booker’s training, aiming to be ready for scent/nose work trials this fall, and get serious about tracking and obedience and his advanced trick dog titles. Fun, and something on my mind other than weight and food.

    8/04 - 185, 1551, 45 min.
    I can’t seem to get my calories as low as I’d like, but at least I’m hitting below maintenance the past couple of days. Off to do some dog training! One of these days I need to clean the house….nah! 😂
