    I’m ok with that because it’s my birthday week, my daughter came in town for a few days and my husband just came back from a medical mission trip to Belize.

    Many thanks to Patrice for passing along last week’s numbers when my app was being wonky! Hopefully I can post today.

    My daughter and I spent the 4th in Las Vegas to see Dead and Company at the Sphere. What an amazing venue! One year ago I was recovering from knee replacement surgery but on the day before the concert, I walked 9.2 miles!

    The bummer news is that since I got home I developed an abscessed tooth. Went to an endodontist today and now I must quickly decide if I will attempt a root canal or just have the tooth pulled and go through the process of getting an implant. Some days it just feels like Whack a Mole- I get one thing under control and something else pops up.

    In any event, if I can get this post to work, I may share a concert pic later.

    Have a great weekend, y’all!

    I am so envious! 😂
    A great band at what looks like an incredible venue!

    Good morning Shape Shifters. Yesterday was very hot again. I did manage to get my walk done though. I went to the grocery store after to get some food. Thankfully managed to only buy what I needed this time. I worked on my puzzle and I did a bunch of gaming and reading. My headache was really bad and turned into a migraine, so I had to take a nap in the afternoon. Also my bedroom was horribly hot at night so I didn't manage to sleep on time. Besides that, my day was alright. Happy Sunday everyone <3

    The daily card:
    We are all born unique. If you love and respect your body, you will naturally take care of it. Learn to listen to your body and hear what it is trying to tell you. Start at your toes. Notice how they feel. Move up and out. Embrace the sensations in your legs, arms, stomach, neck and head. Do this regularly, and you will start to understand when your body feels tired, energetic, hungry or relaxed.

    I reserved a swim lane from 11 to 12 today. When I got there, I found that all 3 pools (indoor 4-lane swim pool, indoor exercise pool, and outdoor pool) were ALL closed! I got no notification of that fact. 😡

    Apparently, the chlorinator machine is on the blink, and is being worked on.

    I have joined another group, 100 day challenge, where you weight-in and post daily. I know this strategy is not for everyone, but so far I like how it is keeping me more focused, everyday... rather than slumping, and then trying to make up at the end of the week before this weekly accountability. Happy Sunday Everyone!

    I hope that you're doing better. If not, I hope you can call out from work. Hugs

    I hope you feel better soon @jessicakrall8.

    @DaffyGirl88 - You seem to do a great job balancing out your travel days with activity, but summer travel can be so painfully slow and exhausting. Hang in there!

    That’s so frustrating, @franwbrown! I hope it’s fixed soon and they improve their communication.

    I like to weigh myself daily, too, @looneycatblue. I’m glad it’s working for you!

    Nice steps, everyone! Keep up the good work!

    I finally got out at 6:30 this morning, and I walked to get a morning coffee and cinnamon roll. They were itty bitty Two-Bite Cinnamon Rolls, so I had 4 x 2 bites = 8 bites.
    Meanwhile, this roadrunner decided to hop a ride in a Park Ranger's vehicle...

    @looneycatblue and @PatriceFitnessPal Thanks for your kind words. I did stay home today...feeling slightly better, but not 100% so I'm resting today and will go back tomorrow. As I get older, I just don't bounce back as fast as I used to do...another "benefit" of aging :neutral: ...

    I was able to do a little walking around the house yesterday so hit my step goal yesterday and slept really well...doing today's walking in little pieces of time (15 here, 15 there)...

    Hope you guys have a great day today!

    @frankwbrown - Adorable photo of the road runner bird — Thanks for sharing it!

    I’m glad you’re feeling better today @jessicakrall8 !

    I was feeling optimistic that I’d stay within my calorie target today and then my husband wanted to order Chinese food tonight for dinner. I asked my son if he wanted the takeout order or one of my ideas for dinner, but I knew what he’d choose because he really likes the Chinese food from our favorite place in the neighborhood and he says he can’t find a place he likes close to his campus. So, it feels like a treat to eat from the local favorites while he’s here for the summer.

    I shouldn’t have agreed to that idea, but I told myself I’d limit tonight’s portion and have some of the leftover items for lunch tomorrow. I didn’t eat as much as past dinners but I was over my daily target by about 300 calories. I’m fairly confident I can salvage my weekly average so I’m not going to beat myself up over it — just a lesson learned for next time. I hope everyone had a good Monday!
