    @fabgeekmom Ah ok . I'll look for that. Good job with the walk! That was nice of your cousin. That does sound like a good dinner.

    Hi all. I wasn't feeling well, so I came home early from work. I started feeling better later in the day, so I did a home strength training workout (after all, I said, when traffic was light/when I got home early!). I didn't eat lunch, so I had my leftover salad for dinner.

    Water yesterday: 72 oz

    @fabgeekmom My daughter says I complain when it's too hot and I complain when it's too cold. I'm like Goldilocks. I bet kids today don't even know who that is. I've never had fontina cheese. I looked it up and said Emmental could be substituted. I like that.

    @trooworld Wow, I can see a big difference. You are doing great. I prefer soggy pizza. lol I was probably forced to eat something crispy as a child as I don't like anything crispy. Oh rice crispy squares. LOL Good you are listening to your body and worked it but still rested.

    I went to the eye dr today for my annual visit. Extremely dry eyes and beginnings of cataracts. I told him I'm too young for that.

    @trooworld I’m sorry you didn’t feel well but glad you felt better. Good job with the exercise. @theslightedgeforever I’m like Goldilocks, too. There’s a lot of stuff we know about that the kids today don’t get. I have dry eyes, too, and have cataracts. cataracts. Probably it’ll be soon for surgery. I don’t dread it as DH is seeing so much better. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. We had last night’s leftovers for dinner.

    @theslightedgeforever Thanks ! Ah, I see lol. Yes, trying to listen to my body more. Oh no, I'm sorry about the dry eyes and cataracts! Did they say you need to use lubricating drops? I hvae dry eyes and that's what they told me.

    @fabgeekmom Thank you ! Good job with the swim. I had leftovers last night, too.

    Hi all. Traffic has been light all week, I think because school is out and so the teachers and college kids aren't on the road. Since I got home early, I took one of my dogs for a longer walk. She didn't want to go for a longer walk, but I forced her lol. She wanted to get back to my husband who doles out treats that time of day (pieces of fruits and veggies). Today, I have my 6-month appointment with the surgeon. Hopefully, he is pleased with my progress. I am. Although I did realize something: I have been eating too much at my meals...I looked back through the eating instructions yesterday and it says no more than 4-6 oz per meal, half of that protein. I started weighing my recipe portions and the salad I ate the other night was 7 oz and the portion of food I had last night was about 7 oz (but I didn't eat it all). So, not too bad but I do need to reel it in a bit. I'm still losing so it must be pretty close.

    @trooworld Good job on the walk even though the dog resisted. LOL on how she preferred your DH’s snacks. That’s interesting about the amount of food you have been eating. The most important part is that you are losing weight. Hi, all. It’s hot here but still not very humid. I was able to walk this morning and sit under the umbrella on the front porch. It’s nice sometimes to be outside and not inside with the AC. Dinner tonight is ATK’s One pan orzo with shrimp and zucchini. I’m cooking.

    @fabgeekmom Thank you ! Yeah, she's very food motivated. Both the dogs are pretty food motivated but Violet is even more food motivated than Daisy. I agree, about the eating/losing weight thing. That's good it's not humid there. Good job with the walk. I love sitting outside and just watching the birds or reading. I hope you liked the recipe.

    Hello all. I had my 6-month checkup and it went pretty well. He is pleased with my weight loss and asked what my goal was. I told him to get down to 155/165 lb range and he said that is totally doable within the 1 year period. That's about 30-40 more lbs. He is having me double my iron supplement as my iron is lower than it should be. He wants me to do aerobic exercise where I am slightly out of breath at least two days a week and weight train two days a week. So, walking the dogs isn't going to cut it. I guess I'll do YouTube videos, hike, or water aerobics. For dinner, I made myself Buffalo Chicken Salad, which is served in a lettuce wrap. It's a Skinnytaste recipe. I used canned chicken breast and it was super easy to make and pretty good. I would make it again. I maintained this week: I lost 0.2 lbs, which is okay I guess. My muscles are probably retaining water from starting to lift. Speaking of, tonight is a gym night.

    Water yesterday: 96 oz
