NON WW & WW NEWBIES, OUR NEW LIFE, THE START OF SOMETHING WONDERFUL

@cbabie Oreo Thins are a good substitute. 4 cookies for 140 cals. I can't imagine not cooking without salt. I'm probably a bit heavy handed on the mayo. I do try to use the light version though. Ocassionally I will mix plain yogurt and mayo but it just doesn't taste the same. In July I'm going to have to increase my Apple ring goal for movement. So I can push myself just a bit more. I'm sorry about your friend. We are getting to the age that we will see more and more of that.

@gemwolf110 I'll look at that what the the health. I like fooducate.com I read a blog from there ages ago about how Kraft Mac and Cheese in US is made differently and sent to Europe. They have higher food standards than we do. If they can make it healthy for the rest of the world they can do the same for us. It's all about the money.

@fabgeekmom Ediets was basically like MFP. They had mealplans and challenges, a community, etc. Processed food is just more convenient. Plus it's everywhere. It's interesting traveling overseas and going to the supermarkets there versus what we have here. Just a different mindset. I think. I keep some Hershey kisses in my stash just for when the chocolate craving hits. Another good one is an After Eight mint. Your menu sounds good. I love grilled hamburgers.

@trooworld I actually prefer the taste of instant potatoes to real mashed potatoes. But I almost never buy the instant kind. I can't remember the last time I had mashed potatoes. Probably last year with my daughter when I made meatloaf. I think I'd like that mental health musical.

Didn't check in yesterday as I was playing games with my daughter.

Water 44 oz
Exercise 21 min walk, 15 min dance

It’s a lot of products. I was watching a YouTube documentary on how fruit loops American version has all the dyes and the fruit loops that is processed in the US but shipped to the Canada doesn’t have the bad stuff.

I’m here. I’m in a little bit of a funk so no exercise. I have been consistent with my Sunshine stroll each morning for 20 minutes, but I could be better on food quality. Water has been between 50 and 60 ounces each day

I went and got a mammogram this morning and now I have to wait for the results. I hate that part.

I’ll catch up with you all tomorrow

@trooworld Sorry about the migraine. I think I made that Skinnytaste recipe. Hi, all. The recreation center is open but without AC and the pool is closed. I’m not working out without AC. Our plans are to go to Target after breakfast. I’ll workout on the bike and walk outside if it’s not too hot. Dinner tonight is pork chops with peach sauce (ATK recipe), rice and squash.

@cbabie I know what you mean about the ice cream. That’s hard to resist. I was glad when all the cake was gone!

@trooworld I’m sorry you are not feeling good. Hi, all. The recreation center has AC but the pool is closed because the chemicals are off due to the center not having AC. Hopefully it will be opened next week. Tonight is steak night. The temperature is cooler again so I will go for a walk. And of course, workout on the bike.

@trooworld urhh that is awful about car. Mice can do damage, can’t imagine what a rat can do! That does sound like an expensive day! Hope your migraine is better.

@fabgeekmom how was the elliptical? Sounds like you had a good dinner!

@cbabie hope you got better sleep tonight and that’s it’s not too hot for a walk today.


Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! Yesterday was a busy one! Went with my works hiking club to a backpacking class they held. Hiked 1.6 miles to the camp and 1.6 miles back. I learned a lot! I’m hoping to get a basic backpack and gear together to start going on their backpacking trips in the future. I still have to get in better shape to handle some of their trips. A group of them made it a weekend trip on top of the class. I didn’t stay overnight to camp 🏕️ still have to get a tent or hammock and all the other necessities to do so. As well as find a dog sitter.

Plans for today are church, Zumba, finish up my presentation for my class, and get laundry and food ready for the week. Now that I have my permanent crown on I can get back to eating normal again.

What is everyone up to this weekend? Hopefully you all are getting to enjoy the weather! Welcome to June ☀️

@gemwolf110 I like the elliptical, especially since I can workout while sitting. It really is low intensity but I can get my heart rate up. That hike sounded enjoyable even though I know I would not be able to do it. You had a busy day. I hope you enjoyed it. @trooworld I’m glad you are feeling better. The restaurant experience really sucked. It’s a shame to pay for bad food and service. But it happens. @theslightedgeforever It’s good that you got back into the routine. That’s good that you lost weight. Hi, all. Today was a good day. I went for a walk and rode my bike. DH and I ate lunch on the patio. My daughter came over and cooked dinner.

Happy Monday All! Short week this week. Have family in town so taking some time off for a staycation. Should be fun to see them and just relax. Still have to squeeze time in to get my class assignments done. There’s quite a few due this week. I may only make it to one Zumba but will see. It’s also my birthday week so there will be some celebrating 🥳

@theslightedgeforever yes I think the weight does hide too. It’s sneaky like that.

@trooworld yikes that is pretty bad experience. Sounds like a lot of events happening in your area. Did you make it to the lake? Hope today’s a vet day for you!

@cbabie I'm glad you have an accountability partner. Good for you for walking in the heat. I think I need something. Yes, sunshine stroll is my morning walk.

@trooworld Yaaay on your walking pad I'm glad your foot is feeling better. I read today that California and AZ are going to be hit by a heatwave soon. Maintain is better than gain.

@gemwolf110 Enjoy your staycation. Loved the graphics

@fabgeekmom I can't stand the elliptical. My legs start hurting and cramping after about 2 min in. Ours is not the sitting kind though. I love being outside whether to eat or read. Just not when it's hot or the mosquitos are bothering me.

@trooworld I’m sorry about the weight gain. The pasta meal probably was the culprit. But you have a plan. It’s important to keep that in mind. Hi, all. The pool is still closed. I called and found out that a part came in and it’s being worked on. DH said I went for a walk. It’s hotter today but not as hot as it’ll be later in the summer. Lunch is leftover salmon and dinner is burgers, fries and salad.
