Today is the fifth anniversary of what I started off calling "My Weight Loss Journey", but changed that to "My Fitness Journey" or "My Fitness Quest". And I'm pleased to have finally stopped the regain I had in years 3 and 4. During this 5th year, I lost only 3.3 lbs, but it's still a loss so I'm happy with that. So today…

I enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. Sometimes, I have a bottled Starbucks Frappuccino, or even one from Starbucks. I also have been using protein powder for some time. I have a vanilla and a chocolate flavor, but I also bought a Cafe Latte flavor which I found disappointing. Your mention of "protein coffee" made me…

July Step Challenge week 1 is done! How'd you do?

@FWSWCindy I hate when that happens! I try to remember to look at my watch's charge percent every few mornings so I can pick a time to recharge. I generally recharge at ~20%, to be safe.

Wouldn't I prefer something small, like the Cricket trailer, over an RV? While an RV would be much roomier and more comfortable, wouldn't a Cricket trailer be much cheaper?

Yum. Controversial I know, but Hawaiian pizza is one of many good pizzas… variety is good! Rich chocolate cream pie with flaky crust

Oh my, what shall I do for the next couple days?

FYI Garmin users: I created a discussion on MFP Garmin Badges and Challenges to share info and personal progress pertaining to these Garmin badges and challenges. Also, you might be interested in a…

I wish I could do gardening, but I don't want to "do the work". 😆 When I was young, my goal was to become a Mathematician. I later got bit my the compute bug, so my career was in computer programming, but I never lost my love for…

@Sableness At first glance, I thought those were Christmas lights! 😄
