Such a beautiful night of music under the stars!!

Yes, happy wedding, Gwen!! I'm sure the dress looks spectacular. You have been busy, Gary! You're making me excited for retirement life. Enjoy and check in when you can. Biopsy came back ok so all good. Spent another day at the beach yesterday celebrating my mom's cousin's bday. Sunday we're seeing a concert at a small…

Gwen, you got this!! Full exercise and diet mode this week. Spent the weekend doing neither B)

Gary, I love that you're spending so much time at the beach making memories. Sounds perfect! Can I come crash after we move and it's 110 degrees in the desert??! Dr went ok. Got a spot on my arm biopsied and one on my nose frozen off. Use sunscreen kiddos!! Winery was fun (and beautiful) Cousin and I split a bottle…

How fun, Gwen!! Sounds like a perfect trip (son's are the best!)...and happy belated birthday! The out of town family is gone and all went well. I have a Dr appointment tomorrow (that I'm dreading) and then on Thursday we're going to a winery to celebrate my cousin's bday. :drinker:

The beach actually went well. Came back to our house after. It was a full day and I probably had 4-5 glasses of wine over 7-8 hours. Baseball game at Petco park tomorrow. There's 12 of us going so that'll be interesting...like herding cats. My weight is up, I can tell. Serious reset next week. Enjoy the bday weekend, Ann!…

Sounds perfect, Gary. Headed to the beach today with my out of town family (along with the zillions of other tourists, I'm sure :/ ) Wish me luck. Is it bad I'm counting the days til they leave? (5) :drinker:

Having a good week exercise and diet wise. My crazy older brother is in town next week so there will be drinking. I'm trying to be good until then.

Hey stranger!!! So good to see you. What's been going on with you? All good here. Back on track after our family gathering and the burial at sea. It was a beautiful day (and boat) I always forget just how touristy San Diego is during the summer though...the crowds down at the harbor were insane. That is one part I won't…

Well the heat finally showed up here, along with the humidity. It's been over 110 in the desert where we'll be moving to. I'm trying to imagine how I'm going to live in that without becoming a total b!tchyb!tch >:) My exercise has been horrible. The diet so/so. Attending a military honors burial at sea on Friday for my…

the dentist sucks hairy donkey balls, Gary :/ happy weekend lushes!!

I hear ya on the menopause thing, Gwen! Altho I've always had to manage my weight (hence my ridiculous login streak) it became much worse when the big M started making an appearance :| I started tracking carbs a few years back which definitely helps (slowly) but intermittent fasting has been the only thing that worked for…

Gwen, there are many intermittent fasts out there. Some incorporate entire days of no eating throughout the week...eat 2 days, fast, eat 3 days, fast, etc. A quick Google will bring those results up for you. For me, I do best with a 14-16 hour fast overnight. Lots of studies out there showing the health benefits of…

Fireworks at the beach is the best Gary! Sounds fantastic. I feel fat. I don't need a scale to tell me that I put on a few pounds while up in LA. :s I'll be back to intermittent fasting starting tomorrow. It makes me feel so much better and it seems to work for me when I need to drop the LBs. And walks. I gotta get in…

Hope you all have enjoyed your 4th! I behaved at my brother's and moderated all weekend. Even managed to exercise. We're heading up to LA for a couple of days to visit friends. They love to eat and drink so we'll see how it goes.Hoping the earthquakes hold off. We even felt them here in SD. :o

I hope to start walking more too, Gwen, now that the ankle is doing better. It still gets sore but I think that probably won't go away for a while. Great job on the routine! Have fun at the beach, Gary! The pub crawl was a success but I drank way too much and felt like total poop yesterday. :cold_sweat: Which then prompted…

Glad it went well, Gary. You clean up nice! Everyone is smiling and looks happy, so that's a great sign they enjoyed themselves. All going well here. We're doing a brewery/pub crawl in my son's new neighborhood this weekend with about 10 people. The area is super walkable so hopefully the walking will offset all the…

How fun, Gwen!! You're an official artist!! I really wish I had some creative talent. Being an accountant really is as boring as it sounds :| Your kitchen nightmares were on my mind as we looked at homes over the weekend. Trying to find move in ready is tops on my list. I wish I was the type of person to save money by…

We decided to take off to Palm Desert for a last minute long weekend. We'll head back today but we've had a mix of much needed R&R along with some house hunting. I'm fairly certain I've put on a few lbs :(

New thread! https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10751143/like-minded-lushes-summer-2019#latest

Gary, you'll win them over with your charm! ;) Husband's bday is tomorrow so there will be libations. Hope everyone's week is going great :drinker:

Move went well. Spent today setting up the son's kitchen while the husband put together his couch. Bed was delivered today but he's still sleeping at our place tonight because he has a work event near us tomorrow very early. (All his clothes are still here too) I love my son but I swear I feel like this move has been going…

Happy Father's day, Gary!! I know from the personal stories we've shared that you are a fantastic dad! Enjoy your day <3 Gwen my ankle is about 80% there, thanks for asking! And AMEN to focusing on the positive. Good health is everything!! Focusing on the positive has been my mantra all week. We had a water leak scare in…

I hear ya Gwen. I got on the scale this am and was not pleased :| I know part of the problem is I just haven't been able to move as much but that has nothing to do with my ability to shut my pie hole to extra calories. Thanks for the profile pic compliment, Gary! B) We've had super warm temps down here too but back to 70s…

Gwen, how pretty! I agree with Gary, love the colors! No booze in the house is one way to make sure you get a 0! I packed up a good chunk of my kitchen to give to my son in his move. Stuff I really don't use anymore and things he might need so win/win. Saves me from having to move it next year. So my kitchen is pretty…

Gary, that's great! My 0s lasted 2 days :D

Ann, ACK at falling into the pool!! I actually sprawled myself all over a busy beach street on Memorial Day so it was quite embarrassing. Your trip to St. Louis sounds great but our household is die hard Cubs fans so I can't condone any Cardinals cheering ;) I'm more and more mobile. Busy organizing the son's move into his…

Hope your routine is still going well, Gwen and that the scale rewards your efforts! Still gloomy down here, Gary. Glad to hear you're out and about in the yard. I had a O last night. Maybe another today. Ankle is much better and I'm able to put weight on it. Just a little soreness. Have a great week lushes!

That's what it's all about, Gary! So happy you're making memories with your son and grandson. Hobbled onto the scale today and I'm up about a pound. Could be worse. Since I'm unable to get any meaningful steps or exercise in, I'll try to reign in the diet a bit and see if I can get back to where I was. Pain is much better…
