Birthday cake. We ate about 1/3 at the brewery. Sent the rest home with Robin. Her boyfriend dropped the whole cake and shattered my wedding casserole dish when carrying it into their house. Sad. Tears for the cake and the dish. Well not really. But it was sad. They will replace the dish and at least we all got to taste…

@1theresamcvean I’m coming for tea with Pam! Our picnic was so delicious, lovely and fun!!!! Pictures soon. Need to get up and bake daughters birthday cake. We’re meeting at an outdoor brewery. I’m making it a 9x13 and placing it in an ice chest. Going to be hot today. Yellow cake with a light spread of yesterday’s…

@1theresamcvean wonderful cake! I can't believe we are posting for introductions for July. I thought that was a mistake. I just looked down at my calendar. Hard to believe!

the cocoa is equals exchange organic baking cocoa. It comes in a cute blue can.

@tryingagain5 I am glad your back with your trainer. I am right in there with you and the weight gain. I had a brilliant idea after Wednesday's weigh in. I decided NOT to weigh! ;) The last 3 days have been wonderful. No diet mentality for me. I am curious but not that curious. I need a scale break for just a little bit.…

@1theresamcvean whoa...that picture drove me nuts! You know I was gonna love all over that! So very pretty!!! @gingerpwr I always love a rainbow! @Freeglerock I too loved your peas and violets pictures! So pretty. We got sugar snap peas with our CSA. I fixed them for dinner with nothing else. Sauteed them then drizzed some…

@melaniedscott I can really relate. I had the worst problems with GERD. It got so bad that I was gagging and throwing up at the beginning of each meal. I finally realized that I was really having to battle it out when I ate eggs, chicken, fish, and turkey. After a while I thought, why in the world am I forcing myself to…

Daily check in...actually don’t have time...more later!

Thanks for the kind words @Cafelelia and @sleepymom5. I am doing great overall. My food is still not quite dialed in. I feel like I need to do drastic steps to force it back in alignment. But instead I am trying to go back to packing nutritious snacks and meals to think about nourishment vs. weight loss. I have to say I…

@sleepymom5 lol we often are on the same page. I love how well your doing with your routine. I get overwhelmed and I refocus on my too 3. Sleep, exercise and nutrition. The fly lady has been so rewarding too. That’s a plus. Then aunt Helens 6 most days and I’ve got a full day. Have fun at the shore!!!

Quick check in Did not want to do my thing today but I did it anyway. Yoga 43 minutes, walk 20, weights 13 exercises 8 reps, fly lady-master bath. Ugh some days I don’t want to be responsible. Not expecting a great weigh in tomorrow. There’s always next week. Just made roasted beet salad for dinner. Going to have a small…

Daily check in Sunday Food-uhhhh no comment Water-could be better exercise-walk and yoga sleep-8 hours Let me just say DO NOT DRINK PINA COLADAS if you want to be skinny. My mom has begged for them for ever. Molly finally made a big batch for Fathers day. OMG were they ever tasty. I had 3. Don't want to do that too often.…

@1theresamcvean oh how fortunate to find something local! I will check out your link. When I had a stall at the farmers market I used to make jalapeño popper muffins. My poor daughter was in charge of dicing the chili’s. Poor girl suffered the burn. Nothing works to soothe it but time. I love both those chilies you…

Daily check in Saturday Food good Water-maybe not Walk 15 Yoga 23 Row 5 Sleep 8 hours Yesterday was a Molly day. My mom had given Molly $ for her May birthday to buy clothes. Molly hates to shop. But we finally made it shopping. Went to Kohls for some amazing deals. She got 2 new bras, pair of really cute moss green shoes,…

@1theresamcvean there are several flavors. I belong to a FB group called vegan Costco. Everyone raves about this sauce. I got it at my local market. It really is delicious. I have heard there is a copycat recipe out there if you can’t find the product. I got the chipotle flavor. The other that I mentioned is chili crunch.…

Had to share a picture of me taking a break In the gravity chair. Cleaned out the fridge and made an amazing taco salad with all the leftovers. Including yummy chipotle bitchin sauce as a dressing. Has anyone tried that?

@sleepymom5 good for you Pam! You have done a fantastic job! Thank you so much! And @1theresamcvean Theresa how wonderful of you to step in to help Lisa with captain duties. This team has been truly blessed!!!

@sleepymom5 Daisy is too adorable! Love her “Pride” bandana lol!

Daily check in Friday Food-fair not good as I hoped but not as bad as could have been. Since I ate that yogurt I was too full to eat soup and tart till about 5:30. Too late to IF at least for me. I’m down from yesterday but still not 148. Striving to be there by tomorrow. Water-not enough Yoga- 23 Sleep 6 up 2 then slept 2…

team I tried. I had the rest of my green juice this morning from yesterday. Freshly squeezed dandelion greens, celery, parsley, and kale. Yum...well not really lol. Then I had a peach that was sitting on my desk. I wasn't going to have anything but the juice until I could come home have some of that curry soup and a slice…

Daily check in Thursday Food-fair. Did share a beer with Molly and a single barrel Jack Daniels. But no Fritos Water-good Walk 15 Yoga 23 Sleep-8 1/2 I just took 2 blueberry tarts out of the oven. 1 for us 1 for a new mom. Made yellow summer squash curry soup and have the cutest baby gifts for her. I haven’t weighed yet…

It's been an intense day. I had some much needed coaching I needed to administer to one of my branches teammates. It was very productive and positive but also very draining. All I can think about is going home and drinking a beer and eating Fritos and bean dip. I haven't eaten a Frito in years, but that's what I want and…

Daily check in Wednesday Food-felt like I ate too much but on reflection it was almost all very nourishing except maybe the chocolate salted caramel oat milk ice cream after dinner. @gingerpwr I had bought edamame noodles but not tried them till you mentioned them. I made too much. Last night I used the leftovers. Added…

Daily check in Tuesday Food-fruit all day and 1/2 avocado Water-pretty good Yoga 20 Walk 20 Sleep 7 1/2 I was hoping to be 148 even but I have till Saturday to lose .4 to stay on track for my goal.
