@conleywoods stay safe!! what a scary thing to be dealing with, and to know so many people who have already lost their homes! I cannot imagine. Hoping more rains come your way (and to all the other places currently ablaze
)
busy week for me at work, but I am really pleased with the vegetable forward dinner I made today, after 40 minutes of dance cardio. I was inspired by eggplant parmesan, ratatouille, and caponata so I made a dish that was 1 layer of sliced potatoes with eggplant, italian pepper, squash, zucchini, shallot, and garlic sauteed with my favorite red sauce all on top, and then a bit of parmesan cheese and fresh basil when it came out. delicious! felt healthy.
I am having some weird sleep patterns so hoping I get a good nights rest today, although it is already quite late and I still have to shower.3 -
@conleywoods take care of yourself and your family.0

Excellent loss, Vikki! I hope work is not too crazy - coming back after vacation always requires the extra large shovel...0 -
What a lovely evening I just had - there is a river gorge near here that has built a nighttime lights and stories trail called Foresta Lumina. We all went this evening, and it was beautiful - the landscape there is already spectacular, but in the dark with the projections, it is really magical. I had been once before, but they keep making it better. It is about an hour of walking and is quite hilly in parts, so we got some good exercise while we were at it. On top of the lights in the forest, the stars were out in a crystal clear sky. My daughter loves going there, and I'm glad she talked us all into it.
Back to business! Weights due through Thursday:

@jugar that sounds so pretty!! I have to find some pics on the internet of that place. good reminder to figure out a way to hang some little lantern lights I have on my patio.
I am having a very busy week at work, I was still online at about 10pm today, but I am finally getting some things done. Super proud of myself for getting some house chores done after I logged off and then doing a 17 min booty workout as well! I need to get a good stretch session in tomorrow, both because of the workout today and the fact that I will be hopping in the car to drive 5+ hours after work tomorrow to visit a friend in Pennsylvania for the weekend. super excited to meet her 6 month old daughter for the first time too.
And, that veggie dish I made reheats great in the microwave - an attribute I look for in all recipes as someone who always cooks for 1!1 -

You haven't missed a thing - it's me! I keep trying to get back in the groove and I miss the window. Once I got out of the groove it's been hard to get back in. This week is the week.. thanks for the gentle nudge
@conleywoods
So sorry to hear you've been evacuated... the fires are a terrible and scary thing. Thinking of you and your family1 -
You bet @project_shan
I've updated you to 10K!1 -
Another wonderful time today! I love having my daughter visit - have I ever mentioned that???
We took Jasper on a trail ride with 2 of us on foot (her partner and me) and my daughter riding. Jasper loves following people, so he was having fun, and it was a day of perfect weather. We walked, jogged, ran, sauntered, checked out the small wildlife around, saw moose tracks - a lot of steps were had by all. I'll post some photos soon - there was a fine piece of photographic equipment along on the ride, so I'm sure there will be some good one. I love getting back into long walking about - my big toe has stopped hurting after its break. Finally!
I am SO hungry, so I'm planning and being careful not to eat everything in sight this evening. Wish me luck!2 -
So happy to hear of you daughters visit @jugar
@conleywoods thoughts are with you and your family

Very pleased with this as yesterday and today are the height of my TOM, typically I have a bit of bloat so wouldnt be surprised to see that number come down some in 2ish days, just from water retention.
I drove to PA last night, long drive and super tired right now but glad I made the trip!
Happy friday friends3 -
Yesterday was a good day, today will be also.
So I get back, and am just about caught up, and the other person I cover in the office, has been out sick for two days now. So I am looking forward to a quiet weekend. Next week I plan on getting back on the exercise train.
I have to get my house organized this weekend, I am behind on a lot of stuff. So once I get that sorted, I can focus on exercise.
Also need to work on some better meal planning.

Hi, we are back at our home and so far the fire lines are holding. We have about 50 acres in level 3 leave now zone and the other 60 acres of our property in level 2 be ready to leave at a moments notice. They have close to 1000 firefighters on the job. Kind of scary to stand on our logging roads and see burnt trees on the next hill. Feeling very lucky. We have our bags packed and ready by the door. Feels good to be home even if we can't really relax. Our garden did awesome while we were away thanks to the drip irrigation and timers. We line in-between each row with hay and grass clippings so hardly any weeds to speak of. Just a tomato jungle and some gigantic zucchini.
Thank you for all of your kind words and thoughts. I will most likely be back on the regular team for September @jugar.6 -
Love dropping in and seeing all the great weigh-ins, @conleywoods back at home (understanding you are far from relaxed... I bet it's really hard.. how are the kids managing?), @jugar having a blast with her daughter...
My week has been okay. I had some craziness at work per usual, and Brad was travelling. I had dinners out, and bad decisions.. but I also did workouts, and yeah.. it's been ups and downs as usual. Today we are working from home and I plan to hit the Peloton before we head to the trailer so it's great that I'm prioritizing that over getting to the trailer early (which is a fairly sedentary place!)
We have friends coming to visit on Sunday so we'll take them on the boat. Time to seize the last of the nice weather!! The nights are already starting to feel cooler..
Drinking my water now.. happy about that too!2 -
(Reminder that I don't have daily pledges for @veronica1359 and @littlemzkitty .. if you want to make one feel free but otherwise you are omitted from the consistency stats)
Have a good weekend all!
