Good day, GoaDies. Vacation has commenced. Not that much is happening aside from some meal prep. Still....as you all know, great to be away from the oar!

Welcome aboard!

Present. @linmueller yay! Onward and downward!

Good evening, Goadies.

I am a creature of habit and do best with it. Like 88olds, rountines are key for me. I even have been known to eat the same lunch or dinner for a week if I like it. Also makes tracking a cinch.

Another impressive Goadie! Congratulations!

Impressive! Most impressive! Well done, Steve.

Good morning, Goadies. TGIF. And on the brink of a week vacation from the oar after a good 8 hours of rowing in the galley...

@linmueller, I LOVE your 💙 bullet points. So empowering!

I already confessed that the thread Monday was my inspiration for the LTL today, but also this passage of wisdom- Now abides these three things: Faith, Hope and Love. But the greatest of these is Love. I sincerely believe that while not impossible to stay with anything for the long haul without loving it, it surely makes…

Hope this isn’t too touchy freely for a topic. Not meant as such. I will get back with my response to this later and perhaps Eve to yesterday’s thread. Hopefully not at 9 p.m. tonight. Ugh.

Present. Barely. Work is already ridiculous so edging in a small amount time here and will post a LTL shortly. Ugh.

Love your lists everyone. Sorry it’s too late to put my best effort into this tonight. 😢

👋

Present and feel much better than yesterday. Thanks to all for your well wishes. @cakeman21k stay safe! Thoughts and prayers.

@Al_Howard yes I have and enjoyed the 30%. Can’t say it melts well though, but at least it does.

@lowbar31 thanks and congratulations to you as well.

@88olds are you my brother from a different mother? I am exactly the same. Never bored with a food I like and can (and probably have) eaten the same exact lunch or dinner for a month without altering a thing.

Great posts but @podkey is the one that resonates most with me. Which is likely why I don’t bristle with tracking. This does make me think about this Thursday LTL topic though...hmmm.

Sorry guys. Day got away from me and I wasn’t feeling well. At least I don’t have to think about points today. Bleh.

Have you tried I Can’t Believe Its Not Butter?

Present this lovely Saturday. Ahhh.

@linmueller Well done! I, too, am pleased with my July although I am technically in Maintenance. Still managed to lose an overall of 2.2#s and that’s ok. Giving myself a nice buffer zone works best mentally for me. What will I do differently in August? Absolutely nothing.

@imastar2 Congratulations to you as well! God is good. I know that without Him, I couldn’t have ever stopped and it is also the wisdom of A.A. Principles that keeps me from thinking that this drinker can just have one. I realize that isn’t the case for most people, but it certainly is for me. Unfortunately alcoholism also…

Apparently I have a lot of um...issues..with this platform. I’ve yet to find out how to reply without initiating a new post, or how to @linmueller without typing the sign. I really am not that technologically stunted. Or at least I didn’t think so. 😆😆

Yes! I have many GoaD Jedi mind tricks! Most of them happen in a voice I relate to maybe MamaCindy or SteveO or a host of other long timers - Is this the food you really want? No, you’re NOT starving. Give it a half hour and if you want it then, fine, eat it. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels. - OK, I’m messing with you…

Thanks, Greg.

And here are the last six months....

I quit drinking alcohol just over 13 months ago by the grace of God and the principles of A.A. although technically I am not a member. When I quit drinking I discovered that points weren’t my real issue and almost magically the 23 Dailies I had were easy to keep. I often thank God I stopped drinking before this pandemic. I…

Good day, Goadies.
