@pridesabtch Love the submarine! Our upcoming VBS theme is also SCUBA, but since I've not volunteered, I have no idea what their plans are.
Recap 5/31 F ~ sunny & breezy, another beautiful day
1) Month end weigh-in & measurements / log on MFP ugh, not the results I'm trying to obtain, but done
2) Figure out supper ~ Schwan's orange roughy, Suddenly Salad pasta, veg blend, ice cream with rhubarb sauce / log all food / 64+ oz. water 80 oz. again, good for me
3) Walked dog 3.84 mi happy dog & happy me
4) Funeral luncheon set-up 2:00 ~ had to wait for someone with key fob (mine is restricted on days/hours, LH didn't think to bring his & Welcome Center now on summer hours) but overall less than an hour, goes fast with experienced workers / refill watering cans from rain barrels / wash dishes / shop for phones / read / other? made overnight oats, switched out all seasonal decor TA-DA!
JFT 6/1 Sat. ~ weather has turned, cloudy, light rain has started; today was non-dog walk anyway
1) Get up with alarm / farmers market earlier to beat crowds & strollers Not exactly, but pretty good. Forgot to take egg cartons to one of my favorite vendors; remember next week.
2) Pesto whitefish, sauteed rainbow chard & sweet potato noodles for supper / log all food / 64+ oz. water
3) Update perpetual & wall calendars / put away clean dishes / wash dishes / wash towels / refill birdbaths with water from rain barrels / shop for phones / read / declutter something / call Mom / other?
4) PT exercises / min. 7,500 steps
5# Challenge (May): Can I count my usual Sat. w-i on 6/1 LOL? Weight challenges haven't been working for me this month. I had life stuff going on that affected food somewhat beyond my control, like overnight visits to parents, lunches out with friends & family, funeral luncheon, etc. I'll just keep plugging away.

- Take measurements & log on MFP every month end
- Try new recipes Unfortunately, no wall oven until mid-Feb or later & sad me, but try slow cooker & stove recipes... wall oven installed 2/26 but no new recipes yet.

@pridesabtch Awww yeah of course I do remember you mentioning that actually. It's looks great!!
Not something I would have been able to put together, especially that size! The kids are gonna love it!!1 -
I've been feeling awful the last few days. Think there's a cold going round because I've got it, the neighbours got it and I've seen others mention it online.
It's not too bad, not like COVID bad. But I woke up at 4am with a headache, stuffed up face and just generally restless.
Fortunately Ash woke up too when I did and could tell me where the ibuprofen is. I felt okay for the most part of the day but since I started dinner I've started to feel off again, I feel really nauseous.
So I'm gonna skip tea I think, you know when you just "know" that eating isn't gonna be a good idea lol you don't know why but your body's just like "don't do it... Don't you dare do it."
Anyway hopefully I feel better in a couple of days.

Yesterday was a big day, did a hard workout in the morning, did some planting which required alot more physical effort than I anticipate with lugging the bags of dirt around. Then we had a graduation party to attend. I ate a late late lunch in anticipation of the high calorie BBQ food that I was bound to be tempted by so made sure I was not attending on an empty stomach. It was a good plan. I had a tiny bit of a couple things and walked away from any desserts! I really wanted the cookies/cakes, etc but I held strong.. This was not easy for me but I walked away from the night feeling pretty good about being able to do that.
Scale is still staying at about the 202 mark for days now. I am noticing somehow I am still going over in fats/sugars which could be why I am stuck. Its likely due to butter/olive oil use on the fats and fruit maybe on the sugar.
Guess this is all part of the learning process3 -
Recap 6/1 Sat. ~ weather has turned, cloudy, cool, light rain has started; today was non-dog walk anyway
1) Get up with alarm / farmers market earlier to beat crowds & strollers Not exactly, but pretty good. Forgot to take egg cartons to one of my favorite vendors; remember next week.
2) Pesto whitefish, sauteed rainbow chard & sweet potato noodles with curry seasoning mix for supper / log all food / 64+ oz. water Net cals red even w/o the peanut M&M snack in evening. Oops. But another 80 oz. water day, and I was active even with no "exercise".
3) Update perpetual & wall calendars / put away clean dishes / wash dishes / wash towels / refill birdbaths with water from rain barrels / shop for phones / read / declutter something ~ mostly digital but that's needed too / call Mom found out eldest brother's work friend died (had health complications) / other? baked yellow cake (1st time) & turned out really good! Good with my rhubarb sauce, too. TA-DA!
4) PT exercises / min. 7,500 steps yay esp. w/o dog walk
JFT 6/2 Sunday ~ nice day, sun & clouds, light breeze & warm temps
1) 9:00 church
2) Walked dog before too warm 3.53 mi doggo got treats, water & pets from Al & RJ happy dog & happy me
3) Wash dishes / shop for phone? / read / other?
This week will be somewhat challenging for food. Tomorrow I'm having restaurant lunch with my former IA mgmt co-workers; Tues. is a lunch for volunteers at church (no idea about food); Fri. is spaghetti feed the evening prior to 10K race on Sat. a.m. (I think this will be my 27th time walking in this event, not consecutive years), plus post-race snacks to refuel. I'll keep up with dog walks, weather permitting (rain forecast this week), and fit in PT exercises to help offset the food.

Well it’s June 3rd and I’ve gained back what I lost in April.
I know the cause is snacking. I’m so bored in the evenings I'm just munching my way through. I need to just stop.
@Bex953172 - I think our plumbing needs redone before I get a dishwasher. This is the 3rd one we’ve gone through here, I think we need a more heavy duty pump in the dishwasher or new plumbing. It doesn’t matter I can’t afford one right now either way.

Well like many of you I gained rather than lost in May. I saw a picture of myself the other day and I look pregnant. That's really not a good look for someone my age. Up note my hair looked good in the photo. Can't believe I'm sharing this picture...
Seriously though, I am so unhealthy right now. It's embarrassing and humbling. I promised myself I'd never get back to this state, yet here I am.
Tim has his next surgery scheduled for June 13. They will put a new shoulder in. There are billing questions, but that is just typical these days.
New long term goals:
Drink alcohol only 1 day a week
Eat real food for breakfast & lunch instead of snack cakes
On evenings when I'm home, walk for at least 30 minutes
