@teresaw1020 How is your fasting thing going? Summer of bliss. All good things must come to an end. Enjoy while you can. Praying your sister's surgery is a success. @cbabie Yaaay on burning some calories in the pool. Red truck, interesting... Your Sunday dinner did sound good. @trooworld Hopefully now that you will be…

@cbabie Yaaay on another bike ride. Nice to get out in the fresh air. You both are wearing helmets, right? @trooworld How was your WW meeting. I bet it was good to be in an actual meeting. Scary about the homeless man. It seems there are more and more. This country needs a mental health overhaul. 262/238- Green Just one of…

@teresaw1020 Good for you for planning ahead and not just impulse eating. @trooworld Sorry about the weight. Fingers crossed just some sodium bloat. Maybe a Stop sign will help. Just a matter of trying it out. I just realized I think I have a jug like that. I'll have to check although the bottom half is zebra stripes. It…

I need to find a jug like this :D

@renaegry We missed you. WW seems to suit you. I'm glad you found a program that works for you. @teresaw1020 I'm bloated today too. So I'm going to be working on the water for the next two days. I'm still working on the virtue part. @trooworld Sounds like you have a good plan for those 3 days. So keep talking to yourself…

@teresaw1020 At least this meal plan you are doing is teaching you patience. I've heard lemon in water is good for you but I really don't like the taste of lemon unless it's a big glass of sweetened lemonade with mint. I have the best recipe for that. Thanks for the info on the waffle maker. Glasses are so expensive these…

@teresaw1020 I just meant from a symptom standpoint. dizziness, shaky, etc. How long are these challenges for? Then how long do you have a break? It's probably a good idea to go up a bit and then back down. I think that's what I like about my carb cycling. I tried to make a chaffle today. Heated up the waffle iron and…

@teresaw1020 I've never had a chaffle. I'll have to try it. I might work it into my weekly breakfast rotation. Yaaay on lowering your trigger. What happens if you go too low? I mean I know hypoglycemia in a diabetic but does same thing happen for non-diabetics? What would they consider too low? @trooworld Good for you for…

@trooworld You say oh well and get right back to it. Which I know you will. Overall, you are really doing well. I gained 2.2 lbs this week. I had too many days of going over my boundaries and did 4 days of exercise. 99/100 Red Rest Day 25% Water

@teresaw1020 Woohoo on the weight loss. That's why we're here. That along with a healthy body. I thought that cake thing was a good visual. I always tell myself I'll start tomorrow and then think of it later as I just had one day off plan but it could be worth a couple of days if I ate like that. lol @trooworld That's…

@trooworld Yaaay on no snacking. I think I'd be a '64 Mustang convertible. Lots of fun to drive. Fingers crossed on the gallery. Hooray for your weight loss. @cbabie So here's something to work on. Salvaging the day. If you mess up earlier in the day instead of saying I'll just start again tomorrow; I already it blew it…

@teresaw1020 Eventually the scale will have to move. Just think of all the good habits you are making. @trooworld Hooray for trending downward scales. Oh just read about the snacks. Just a slip. Acknowledged and moving onward. @cbabie At least you were moving doing all of that clean up. That burns calories. I know it's hot…

@trooworld That acai bowl looks good. I'm going to try and make one when I go visit my dd and show her how to make it. anything refreshing would be good in the heat. Have you been staying within your points this week? I'm all off on my days. I thought it was Tuesday. I walked 31 min on Monday and not a rest day. Tuesday…

@teresaw1020 You'll eventually figure out your numbers. Great job on the exercise. If I hadn't got skin cancer smack in the middle of my face, I'd be laying out too getting a good tan. I look so much better. But every time I look in the mirror it reminds me. HA on the pita. I might have to steal it and start calling hubby…

@trooworld Yaay on not getting something from the vending machines. You were hungry but you survived. That is how you lose weight. Not giving into impulses. I'm not going anywhere exciting just to MN to see my daughter. I've never been to her new home. Maybe later take a trip to see cbabie so I can nag her in person about…

I didn't realize I missed a couple of days. I thought just one. I had to make a trip to the airport. My youngest son is visiting us for 5 weeks while he's on summer vacation. He likes his new job at the school just because of summers off I think. lol I realized today that one house guest left and now another one is here.…

@teresaw1020 That's great on your body leaning out. Like the Tower of Pisa? :D it's all that exercise you do. Keep it up. Eventually the scale will move. @trooworld How is your food this week? Have you been eating within your points? Oh yeah, just remembered you didn't track. So what happened there? I'm a heat versus cold…

@cbabie Yaaaay on your exercise. Whatever works to take your reduce your anxiety so you eat less. On days to move more, how about listening to an audio version of the Bible. You can even record your thoughts on the subject on your phone. There are days when we just need to sit and "be" and some days we don't. You said, "I…

@teresaw1020 Yes, Fat2Fit. That's the one. Sparkpeople is closing down and I know some people have moved over to MFP. Out of control Pinterest boards. :D I have my "recipes to try" sorted by category now. Still don't try very many it seems. Most are yummy desserts. I'm thinking once a month. I love to bake and like doing a…

@teresaw1020 I'm too slow to eat. My problem was when I stopped preplanning my meals each morning to make sure I hit my target for the day. When corona hit at first I was having problems getting eggs. Then I couldn't find my regular cheese. Then hubby started working from home. Add stress and having to fix 3 meals a day…

@teresaw1020 Even if I lived close to the water I don't think I would enjoy seafood. lol As close as I get is Long John Silvers. I grew up eating fried catfish but something happened along the way. I don't know. Were you the one reading The Beck Diet Solution? I just love that book. I'm currently doing that for my 100 day…

@teresaw1020 Funny thing about Oreos. I was reading a book a couple of days ago and read that word in the book. I suddenly had a strong craving and thought I have a box downstairs. Then same day an hour or so I was in the car and there was a billboard advertising them. I saw the word and thought Mmmmm. But now reading your…

@trooworld What good things do you give yourself credit for yesterday? ouch on the dentist. I haven't been since beginning of corona and need to go. I just keep putting it off. @cbabie Because I'm always eating something if I have some hot tea. Not candy though. Right now I'm having nectarine slices with it. Indoors is…

@trooworld Congrats on being accepted into a gallery show. That's a really big deal. Good for you. OK, so let's get back to working on our water. 87/100-Red 54 min walking 50% water

@trooworld Did you eat enough food at the other meals? Maybe you were too hungry when it came time to eat your snacks. Did you leave too much time between meals? In one of my groups we are working on eating at any other time besides planned meals/snacks. One of the things I have learned is that cravings start to diminish…

@cbabie Hooray on your weight loss. So exercise is an obstacle right now. What are the solutions and ways around this obstacle. It can be done in little segments of time. Your little hiatus of having me give you my words of wisdom is over. Hope you enjoyed the break. @gemwolf110 So how will you make this week different…

Hello all. I took my sil to the airport a couple of hours ago. So now not every waking moment is occupied. I have time to think and do other things. @gemwolf110 Hope everything is well with you. Is it still raining? I don't like the rain. But we need it for food and pretty flowers, yes I know. (people are al @trooworld…

@cbabie What did you end up doing for exercise? Yes, not much over but over is still over. @trooworld I'm trying to make these weight loss skills for life whether or not I have guests. Now to just get the exercise going consistently. So what's happening on the weekend that keeps you going over your weekly points? Lack of…

Quick check in. Went over. 166/164. Yellow 15 min walk Sil still here until 20th

I’m here but busy with my sil. Green Day. Stayed OP Movement. Rest day. I’ll try and catch up tomorrow
