    Weights: Lower Body

    Food: Yesterday was my little girl's birthday, she wanted dinner at a local buffet, ended up putting away four plates of food, plus salad and dessert.

    I was going to click the "inspiring" button but didn't want to come off as sarcastic. :) That's impressive eating, @nossmf. I myself had Mazzio's wings, a slice of pizza, and three cinnamon bread things for supper. Then an evening workout on the elliptical, but of course that didn't make up for the junk-y dinner, followed by a brownie.

    I think I need a tough love fitness thread with accountability. I don't know if my MFP friends can still see my food diary now that the newsfeeds are going away, or if they ever looked at it, tbh.

    So is the idea we post workouts AND dinner? But not earlier meals, @ninerbuff ?

    Post whatever you feel you need for accountability purposes. Niner by default posts dinners, nothing says you have to post any food, or you can post more. Guess the only consideration, beyond remaining courteous, is limit yourself to one post per day, especially now if you intend this thread to replace your newsfeed.

    Post whatever you feel is necessary for you to stay on track, stay motivated, inspire, etc. I don't eat breakfast and lunch is usually the same thing (pho).

    Happy Thursday! Full schedule and class today. It's been a hot week so far and our AC and water fountain have ceased to work. Hopefully gets repaired soon cause the studio is like a sauna during class.

    I had to look up dinaguan.

    Sounds interesting. I might be too squeamish to try it, just like I still have a resistance to eating insects even though I know it's a good option.

    It's actually really good. Any time I've given it to friends and NOT tell them what it is first, they seem to like it.

    Exercise: two walks, about 10 min. each. But lots of NEAT with clothes shopping and chores.

    Food: Overnight oats for brekky, half an uncrustable for lunch and then . . .
    (speaking of advertising, @mtaratoot :) : today was Starbucks' BOGO special, so the kids and I got caramel crunch frappes and later, summer dragonfruit lemonades. My sugar grams were over the top. Probably need to make SB a once a month treat; definitely not twice in one day!
    Supper was a Green Goddess bag salad from Walmart (220 cals) and three stuffed mushrooms (100 calories). I'm coming in at 2000 calories for the day.

    I was not advertising. I was trying to give members a place to interact because the newsfeed and all of the social stuff that helps us members is going away. Just trying to give members a safe place to land and something similar to a newsfeed. Does not benefit me it benefits all of us trying to stay healthy.

    Advertising might not be the right word, but it is a bit of a hijack of the thread. I won't clog it up any further with any additional comments on it. Good luck.
