Good morning,
@vegan4lyfe2012 I have the same problem when it comes to getting too many steps in I fractured my ankle back when I was a kid and now it lets me know I over worked it. I used to try and keep up with all the high steppers in groups but in the end I was just hurting myself. Now my goal is 7000. anything over is icing on the cake. Have fun at the fireworks.
@AmbersWay Love the pic of your pups. Crazy how those allergy meds can mess with your body.
@19shmoo69 You are an AWESOME dad.
@laurelfit57 Thank you. Great job on the spin class. Just reading your day made me tired. Ty and Vannie are to cute.
@Katmary71 Thank you. 11 more days and he should be home unless she wants to keep him an extra week due to the first week of him not eating so he could not be trained. I hate the way insurance companies have you getting referrals for everything.
@TeresaW2024 That's a cute story about the shoes. There's no traveling here for us either.
Well, yesterday was a productive day in the end. I did not work out but did get my steps in cleaning our game/temporary storage room. It has been a mess for awhile now. I don't recognize the room when I walk in. it stops me in my tracks. Today is going to be a busy day of running around. So cutting this short. I need to get going.
Here is Diesels first video on place training. In the end he is so funny.

A Day before Thursday Ice Breaker Question
If you were an athlete, what would you choose as your walkout song?
Mine would be FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME by Pillar1 -
I had my first food temptation for the month on Monday. My sister and other fam wanted pizza for dinner. I said no. When it came, it smelt soo good, I had to go and get a whiff. I didn't eat any, I just enjoyed it through my nose. LOL! I had my usual chicken, potatoes, and veggies for dinner. I just hope the results of me missing out on yummy food show on the scale on Friday. 🤞
Hope you all are doing well at avoiding temptation as well.5 -
@AmbersWay – OMGoodness that desert! Cute doggies
I can’t wait to see the pics next week!
@19shmoo69 – You are a good dad. Any time we get a gut feeling about someone, it’s usually true.
@laurelfit57 – Those two goofballs are hilarious!
@Katmary71 – Watching fireworks from a mountain sounds surreal! Sucks about the referral process. Maybe they’ll have a cancellation. Stay cool and hydrated! Good luck with the kitties.
@trooworld – What a hilarious pug sticker! Sorry about all the people at the garden, but glad you could still mainly enjoy it and so glad you got that time to connect with your friend. The pics are gorgeous! A Mediterranean Wrap sounds perfect while Oceanside
@txcritter69 – You definitely know my pain. My step goal is 6,000. I was only expecting pictures, not a super fun video! Yay for Diesel!
@lislisa123 – Fantastic job avoiding the Temptation Monster!
Day 3 and I’m still going strong with food choices. Wish my foot wasn’t such a disaster. Fingers crossed I manage my walk to the fireworks ok. Thankfully Oliver is only 14 pounds, so not difficult on my back to baby-wear him.
OMGoodness y’all. I’m sitting here on the computer listening to Byron playing…the noise he’s making…he sounds like the tomatoes from Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! I’m dying!!!
Hope everyone has a great evening and stays hydrated!

WEIGH-IN UPDATE
PLEASE WEIGH IN NOW:@AyaTheTyga @rjv230 @bark2j5 @DrewsAnna
Reminder to Weigh In tomorrow to the following: @askewcr0 -
@TeresaW2024 Yikes that's awful about the flip flops, your poor feet must've been burning! Hope today goes better with the fast!
@trooworld If it's a returning member they can return at any time, it's only new members that need to start at the beginning of the month. @bathanie0825 was still in the support area so I just have her moved back to active. I absolutely love that garden, wow! I bet it was perfect after being at the convention. I wish we had one!
@txcritter69 Aw I love seeing how good Diesel is doing with his training, thank you for sharing! It's amazing how much it mentally helps to clean a messy area, I'm trying to get my office space organized and having it cleaner has been great (just need to finish it).
@19shmoo69 You may remember this one from my feed with the question, there's no way I'd lose a fight walking out to this as the spirits of my ancestors would rise and help me annihilate my enemies! Or beat someone, lol!
https://youtu.be/BSNb1LXXk40?si=t1CcxvZvoWXSo2FD When Du Hast came out a bunch of my feed friends here and I were busting our records weightlifting to it.
@lisalisa123 Love the meme! I was just explaining to someone this hasn't been a “weight loss journey” but an entire life makeover for me. Great job staying away from the pizza that[s some serious willpower!
@vegan4lyfe2012 Thanks! I hope you'll be able to walk to the fireworks today and your foot isn't hurting too badly.
Hi friends. I worked out, got my allergy shot, then went to a clinic about 20 miles away and camped out in the waiting room and waited about 4 hours to get my referral. Turns out I need a bunch of blood tests first so I'm glad I went, I should get all the testing done in time for my scheduled appt in August and should be able to get in quick then. Heading out to dinner with a neighbor in 2 hours, we're having Chinese so I'm trying not to eat much now. Have a great night and wonderful Thursday!2 -
I will start by apologizing. Time has gotten away from me. The next two days will be tied up with holiday stuff and then I will be out of pocket for a week. I can check in from time to time but not often. Heck I even forgot to mention it to @trooworld and @Katmary71 . With all that said I need a volunteer to post a Thursday Ice Breaker Question next week.1

Hey y'all! I will do my weigh in tomorrow. I didn't get to do it this morning. I overslept and the window installers were early. I'm sorry, and I promise to do it in the morning.

Hi
My name is Darren
I am the partially hilarious and not so insightful motivator.
I have learned that i should stop viewing health, weight loss and fitness as a journey. So I am no longer on a journey to get to the right weight, fitness level or health aspect. I've been going down the journey plan many times. Once I almost reached the destination and like most journeys I took a pitstop. The pitstop made its way to a turn around, a break down or a huge distraction. Now I'm not traveling I'm living. In life I've incorporated several good choices that cannot be temporary.
So some of the team may know that I have a fear of dogs. I'm also not a pet person. With that said I gave in to my wife. My wife and daughter have acquired a puppy. Unfortunately just like the last one it was given away too young. It is what it is.
Such a cute puppy! What kind of dog is it? I haven’t been on much.0 -

@trooworld The meditation garden is gorgeous! You truly live in such a beautiful place.
@txcritter69 It’s always nice to get a room clean and organized. Diesel looks great!
@lislisa123 Great job in resisting that pizza! I love that graphic!
@vegan4lyfe2012 I hope you have a wonderful 4th and enjoy the fireworks.
@Katmary71 Yikes, waiting four hours is awful, but at least you found something useful. I hope you enjoyed your Chinese food and time with your neighbor. Wow, that song you posted is wild. I can totally see that being a good weightlifting song.
Good morning! Well, I only lasted 20 hours yesterday. I was going to push through, but my pastor came over yesterday to fill out paperwork concerning our property taxes. He was here for two hours, so I’m glad I decided to eat before he came, or my stomach would be growling.
We had my four-year-old great-niece stay the night, and that was fun. Here is a picture of Maggie in her little leg sleeve that I call her scrubs. Please ignore how scruffy she is looking. I did trim around her eyes, or she would look even worse.

If you were an athlete, what would you choose as your walkout song?
Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor of course!

@19shmoo69 - I volunteer to do the Ice Breaker Question for next Thursday.
I keep thinking that today is Saturday. Holidays get me all mixed up.

Fourth of July is going to be tough to get through. We are having burgers tonight. All I can think is salt/water retention and I weigh in tomorrow. 😨 Anyway, if anyone needs an incentive to not overeat today here it is:

@TeresaW2024 - Maggie's scrubs are so cute
Last night was rough with lots of neighborhood fireworks. Gus did not like it. My husband left early this am to go visit his Mom- he's flying. He needed to be up at 5 and we were both awake long before that and I stayed up late with the dog so that DH could sleep, but he didn't. Long day at work ahead. Long day of travel ahead for him. I just hope that there will not be fireworks all weekend.
Zzzzzzz
I went out to dinner with a friend on Monday and my weight has been ridiculously up all week.

Good moring,
@trooworld Yes, Diesel was very reactive when he heard a knock or if he heard the door open, if you even said hello or hi he would lose his mind. He has a problem with what they call resource guarding (which is me). He was getting very over protective of me, John could not even touch me without getting a negative reaction out of Diesel. Diesel's biggest problem is self confidence.
That garden is awesome. I wish we had places like that around here. I live in a boring place. LOL
@lislisa123 You are my hero, what strength you had with that pizza.
@TeresaW2024 Great job on lasting 20 hrs. Maggie looks so cute in her scrubs.
I hope everyone enjoyed their Independence Day. We did not do anything. We are having a BBQ tomorrow. We have 3 family members that had a Birthday on the 2nd 3rd and 4th plus a couple we are friends with also have Birthdays on June 30 and July 7. So, we are going to celebrate everything tomorrow. John will be up all night cooking brisket.
Diesel is doing better and here is the latest video for your enjoyment.

Have a great day!3 -
@TeresaW2024 – OMGoodness! Maggie in her “scrubs”…poor baby, but so adorable!
@lislisa123 – Ew, gross! That picture of fat makes me gag! Hahahaha Definitely a very good deterrent!
@trooworld – Enjoy the fair! Hope there’s at least a nice breeze.
@txcritter69 – Wow, that’s a lot of Birthdays all at once! Diesel looks so happy!
Woot Woot! Day 5 and I’m still going strong with counting points…looks like I’ll have to plan on doing my walks every other day so my ankle has time to recuperate between each walking day. I have all the pieces and parts for healthy meals all weekend…now I just have to make sure I actually MAKE them
Oliver and I walked to the fireworks…he was loving them at first, with his big eyes just staring up at the sky. Then the sounds got louder and louder and he decided he’d had enough. We left during the finale, so didn’t miss too much. He was a trooper…isn’t he a doll?
I hope everyone has a nice, peaceful Friday! Don't forget to eat some veggies! Well, everyone except @19shmoo69

Weigh-Day

I'm not even mad because my stable weight means I'm hydrated. I worked outside pushing carts Wednesday and Thursday; yesterday's air temp was 100F when I left work and the heat index was 110F.
No fireworks celebrations for me bc I had to be up at 415am this morning for my 911 job. I did hear them though lol. Luckily no one close to us used them so I slept well.
@vegan4lyfe2012 I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy. Unfortunately what I thought was a bladder infection causing me lower ab pain, was actually a large fibroid. Due to my age and PCOS, the Dr recommended the hysterectomy. I could've just had the fibroid removed but he said that would almost certainly come back.3 -

Previous Weight: 148 lbs
Current Weight: 148 lbs
I managed to end up exactly the same on the scale this morning.
My downfall this week (with the 4th and all) was celebratory food.
I'm hoping to do better next week and actually see a smaller number!
How do you guys manage your late-night food cravings? I find that those especially give me trouble.

@Cornanda Yikes that will be a challenging trip for your husband, I hope he can get a nap on the plane. It's frustrating how late fireworks go. My cats weren't happy but they did better than normal thank goodness. I hope you and Gus get some good napping in today!
@trooworld I'm looking forward to our heat wave being over soon that was another thing that made fireworks annoying, when it's 111 degrees everything is REAL dry but not many seemed to care. I hope you do okay with the heat at the fair today and have a great time.
@txcritter69 I hope you're having a great time at the BBQ right now!
@vegan4lyfe2012 OMG Oliver is the cutest! I'd imagine all that noise and the lights got to be overstimulating fast, still I love seeing all the fun you're having with the grandkids. That sounds like an awesome plan having a rest day in between for your ankle. Have I sent you seated workout videos yet?
Those are a good option for not hurting your ankle.
@bethanie0825 Early morning I'm glad no one nearby was setting off fireworks! I had a lot near me but I wore earplugs to bed and fell asleep fast thank goodness.
@FoxyMoxie04 I've been all over with the nighttime eating. One thing that helps me is after dinner brushing and flossing (it takes awhile with my dental routine) then I'll have herbal tea until bed. I go back and forth with letting myself have “dessert” like frozen yogurt (stirring vanilla paste in yogurt with fruit and popping in the freezer for 30 minutes), having fruit, or low-calorie popcicles. I've been eating an apricot crisp with vanilla ice cream and just got the slow churned ice cream to start cutting it back out without it being too painful. Even if it's just a piece of fruit sometimes that helps to not have snacks completely off-limits if I'm really hungry after dinner whereas if I told myself nothing at all no matter what I'd be more likely to eat A LOT if I had something.
Hi friends! Been eating too much with the holiday and hanging out with friends the last couple days, I had actually lost a few pounds when I was weighed last week so I probably blew that with going out to eat twice and having ice cream last night. Been real worn out but I'm trying to not just lay in bed, with the heatwave that's challenging. I went to Black Bear Diner for breakfast so I have next to no calories for dinner, may just have some veggies. Not much else going on, have a great night and wonderful Saturday!1
