Vacation reached! Did a short quick workout between finishing up tasks.
@lauren_989 Not really going anywhere! I play Final Fantasy 14 and there's new content coming out tomorrow, so that will be where I'm spending most of my time.3 -

I'm so unmotivated at the moment. Haven't been tracking food. I have a giant to-do list I've been completely ignoring. I think part of it is the weather - I don't do well in heat. Some is just unexpected problems... for example, we have a pet tortoise. I moved him to a new larger habitat recently. He's been laser focused on finding all the problems with the new habitat. Things I didn't expect that he could climb or pull apart. It's both hilarious and frustrating to be losing a battle of wits with a reptile.
This week is probably not going to be great for staying on track. July 4 plus husband's birthday and our anniversary.
@Lyss983 I have a toon on FFXIV but I haven't played in a long time. Enjoy Dawntrail! I'm mostly playing BG3 and Diablo 4 atm.2 -
Hey guys! Reminder I'll be posting my weigh in tomorrow - late this week on purpose. I am puffy and retaining water and it's visible in my face.. anyway.. I am imagining a big drop is coming because it doesn't make sense how much I've gained in one week.
Brad did so well at the dentist - thanks for all the nice comments. He was loopy after his anesthesia but I drove him home, he had a light meal and rested, and he's good now. Minor soreness in his mouth but nothing he can't manage. He'll have more appointments coming up but the fact he did so well on this one makes that possible.
He and I are at the lake and there was a wicked storm last night. His friend and him got down to our boat last night only to find it had ripped two of the cleats off the dock and there's some minor damage to one of our pontoons.. he's pretty annoyed with our park manager for even using the flimsy cleats they did.. he's asked them to replace them with proper metal ones. Anyway, they're out fishing now and hopefully he can just enjoy the day.
That leaves me back at the trailer with the dog to relax. Think I'll go stretch my legs in a bit! Those steps ain't happening on their own.
@MaddawgMadsen Hope the biopsy went ok and that it wasn't too painful. We brought our new pickleball racquets out to the lake this weekend and I'm hoping to try for the first time ever.2 -

What a fun read! Lots of great news and ideas. I am finally back home from Alberta - have not slept at all last night except for short dozing on the airplane, got to Montreal early this morning, home around 1 pm, and have been decontaminating the heck out of my every possession that went to horse and cat land. One more load of wash and one more shower and I'm hopefully done. Even my shoes, bags, and suitcases are outside drying! Hopefully not one single hair came into the house. I don't really want the tall guy to have to rush to the hospital tonight!
It was a great visit, but I am not too thrilled about the idea of weighing in! I'll do it tomorrow morning, but it might not be too wonderful... I have been enjoying eating away from home a bit too much! At least I was walking, horseback riding, and keeping up with the squats, but I doubt that was enough to balance things out.

@Ruth_2024 happy early anniversary! Things can definitely get overwhelming at times. When that happens, I usually try to focus on 1 or 2 small goals for the day. Drinking enough water? Just add one more glass. Not tracking? Just track one meal. Sometimes just starting small can get us back on track.
@jugar I am glad you had a great trip! Try to catch up on some sleep! I am sure Jasper must have missed you too!
@tlcjen12 you are doing amazing!! 52 pounds down from your original start weight 🎉 What is one tip you have for the team?
@MaddawgMadsen I hope the biopsy went well today.
I made it back home this evening myself. My first flight was delayed an hour, but luckily I had enough time with my layover and didn't miss my connecting flight. It feels so good to be in my own bed! I have 2 more days before I go back to work and it will be a 4 day week with the 4th of July! 😊2 -

@ashleycarole86 great to hear the dental work went well. Alberta weather is so crazy.
@jugar Happy to hear you are back home.
@MaddawgMadsen hope you got some pickle ball in this weekend or just recovered.
I went with my daughter to see Inside Out 2. It was a great movie and I think it's a great movie that really highlights and discussed emotions so well. Some takeaways for me is that the way you speak to yourself matters. Constantly putting your self down and being hard on yourself leads you to believe them. Also allowing yourself to feel what you feel is important as all emotions are meant to be felt. Pushing some down or bottling others up isn't the way to go about life.
Happy Saturday. I'm off to a cooking class with my sister learning how to make eclairs - may be tasting a few too.6 -

Happy Saturday!
CW: 116.8
I managed somehow to stay just inside my maintenance zone - I guess I walked and burned off more calories than I thought! Of course, now I have to avoid "celebrating" by eating all the things today. Happily, there are tons of greens for salad and stir-fry that need to be eaten up, and the local tomatoes (not mine, but those smart people with greenhouses) are in. Salad mania is on!
Speaking of which, out to weed. Have a great one, team!7 -
@Lyss983 great job getting some exercise in along with the video games! How is the expansion going so far?
@cleaneater80 I have heard great things about that movie. I think that is really an important notion, not to be too hard on yourself/talk negative to yourself or you will believe it. My husband points this out about me a lot. I am trying to work on positive self talk. It is harder than I would think.
@jugar great job maintaining while being on vacation!
Welcome to our team @ginnygee1!
I slept for 10 hours last night and I don't think anything could have woken me up. Then I went to body pump this morning and had my normal eggs for breakfast. My body is liking getting back to it's normal routine and eating. Although, I am in the process of making a cake for my hubby's belated birthday celebration. His birthday was last Saturday when I was in Boston. It's a strawberry cake which is not my favorite, so I will have a small piece and the rest will be his 5 -
Friday Weigh-In (1 day late!)
CW: 259.9
Well, I really wanted to be out of this decade for the last.... 3 months? And I went completely in the wrong direction. Currently staring at 1/4 of a personal frozen pizza left from my obviously unhealthy lunch. I was doing so well from August '23 to early February this year and now just blehhhhh and binges. Gotta rethink some stuff. Stomach has not been happy with my choices, either.
I will be doing a dry July and probably August as well if anyone would like to join! It won't be easy with the Independence Day holiday in the US (although I plan to do "California sober" so I will still be able to indulge, just not with something caloric and hard on my stomach as alcohol has been recently).
Gray day here which is disappointing. I was hoping to kayak and get some tanning in. I could still go up to the roof so long as it doesn't start raining. Tomorrow is supposed to rain I believe.6 -

@lauren_989 Thanks for asking! Good going in the expansion so far!
Today was a day without a plan plan, but still went well. I need to take some time tomorrow and pre-track my week, since that does the most to keep me on track!2 -
Late weigh in for Friday
PW ? 218.8 not sure

It was up higher earlier in the week. Glad it came back down.
Been busy babysitting my granddaughter this past week. We went hunting 🦕 🦖 at the arboretum, swimming at a friends house, and to a nature center. I was wiped out.
I really would love to get 10 pounds off by September. Years ago that would not have been a problem. Now at 60, it wants to hang on so much. I will work harder to hit my step goal each day and get some strength training in.
It’s good to read everyone’s news. Hope this coming week is good for everyone.1 -
