Check in for July 2nd: Food logged: yes, over (supper was too late and way over calories expected - what I though was ground turkey ended up being ground pork, good but not when comparing calories!) Water: good, about 1.5 L Exercise and steps: low again, worked until 6pm, then home, made dinner, ate late, etc.. etc..…

@CassieGetsFit14 I agree with @sleepymom5 -> Rehab is good! There is much strength in asking for help, make sure you are not alone, and tell them how you are feeling. You are a strong woman, and can do this! Rehab is there as a tool for you to use. If you struggle, go. This is for you!!

So pretty @sleepymom5 your view!! Do you have trochanteric bursitis?

@carlsoda good luck with supper! most of my husbands family are allergic to dairy. It’s hard to manage! One alternative to pizza are those little roasted bbq chickens they sell in the grocery stores that are cooked and ready to go. Side salad and wedge fries for the kiddies and we are set. I’m not much of a cook, so we…

Thought I would share some pictures of the bakeries they have here, which I was able to resist, the little meringue pie would be too pretty to eat anyway. There are many shops, wine store, flower shop, hand made…

@cyndiesstuff your message made me tear up, thank you so much for being here with us!
