This thread is for anyone that has been away from healthy eating, had a gain and is recommitting. We accept all forms of healthy eating here, whatever that means to you. We touch base daily for accountability and to encourage one another. This is a judgment free zone.
We all struggle to get the weight off and keep it off. Sometimes this is a challenge, but we never give up and that is the key. Regardless of our situation or where we are in reaching our goal, we count on talking to each other every day and are blessed to have one another as friends.
Our motto is persistence, not perfection.

Good morning ROs. Couldn't fall asleep last night, for no reason at all, ended up taking Ambien at 12:30 and then woke up as usual at 5:30, so not a great night. At least it's a Sunday and I don't have to be at work! Unfortunately we're supposed to have rain all day today and I'm headed out in the middle of the day to DS's in-laws who are hosting a fathers day plus YDGD's one year birthday party in the after noon. They have an enormous house and a pool heated to like 90 degrees so it's one of the few places I actually like to swim, but with rain and temps only forecast to be in the low 70's today, I may end up indoors. This evening DN and I are going to see Much Ado About Nothing at our local summer Shakespeare venue. It's always a lot of fun although man, the English is hard to understand. We'll take flashlights and umbrellas this year. It's in a large tent so we won't get wet during the performance, but getting to our cars afterward could be a challenge. I don't know what i was thinking, to plan something where I'd be out really late on a Sunday night...
This morning I'll go to the gym to get some cardio. I'm feeling the weight training yesterday, which is good, no pain, just a little soreness. I decided to see the trainer 3 times a week for the next two weeks until I go away, am so looking forward to this trip!
The scale is again moving down, I'm happy to say, still 3 lbs above where I was before my CO trip but I know I can lose this by the time of the trip. I have another coaching session Tuesday night so that will help too. Lora, I never responded to your answer to me about the kind of coaching you're getting through your workshop and it sounds so good and holistic. Please keep sharing nuggets learned - even though I'm not doing keto, many principles and insights can be applied to any food plan or lifestyle.
Have a great day all. I don't think I'll be back here since I get home so late tonight, but you never know, I may have down time in between activities.

Hi Everyone,
Nothing really exciting today. My sister is going to pick me up to go food shopping in a while. Mainly I can get things without but the cat litter is very bulky. About a week and a half ago I stopped at Pet Smart and bought some. The package wasnt hard to carry but I didnt realize that it had some type of perfume scent in it. It hadnt say it was scented but discovered that Cassie really didnt want to cover up her waste. When I opened it up and smelled it I realized why. I went back to getting her usual litter and it has been fine since.
Pending on whether my sister has some change or not will determine my plans after I get home. I'd like to go visit my friend and return something at Walgreens and get more coffee at Target but getting it means going in completely opposite directions. I didnt get a chance to go to the bank yesterday or the library other than to drop the books in the drop box outside as it isnt open until later and I wasnt going to be around then.
Andi, hope you have a good time despite the rain. We are supposed to get heavy rain and thunderstorms later and maybe more tommorow. Ugh! Friday I got soaked just from the rain and it wasnt pouring. I am going to bring my umbrella too. I had my rainjacket on with my hood on but I guess I needed my umbrella too.
Have a great day!!

Hi everyone,
I tried twice, to post last night, but lost both and gave up. I get so frustrated with that.
Andi, I hope you have a fun day, even with the rain forecast. The party sounds fun. Good for you to be getting back to where you want to be. You'll be fine when you leave for your trip. I hope you don't get soaked tonight at the Shakespeare play!
Janet, I hope you are able to get everything done today, that you need to.
I am working until 5, then home. I have a couple of flowers that I want to plant after I get home. We'll see how I feel about that later! Besides, we are supposed to be getting some strong storms through here in the late afternoon/evening, so I don't know what it will be like by the time I get home. Then I work tomorrow, and off again Tuesday.
I didn't bring much to eat today, because I never feel like eating here. I brought a breakfast sandwich, some fresh berries, and a vanilla yogurt. That should be plenty.
I HOPE to be back later, if my computer will let me post! Ha! Everyone have a great day,
RobinMD

Good Morning... I had a bad night too Andi...headache and up for a couple of hours, ended up taking 1/4 of a pain med so I could calm down and go back to sleep. Oh I think we all loved your DS's in-laws house the last time you talked about it...sounds like a fabulous day. Hope you don't get rained on tonight... I don't think we are supposed to get rain today.
I think they make those scented things for us Janet and NOT for the animals. Often neither of us like it though - lol.
Robinmd - looks like we were posting at the same time, so I went back to edit my post....I would be so frustrated with the computer issue...hope you are able to get back. Looks like everyone is having some weather issues but me...we'll see what happens later...
It should be an interesting day... DD and DS have different schedules so I THINK DD and family is taking us out for lunch and then DS and family is taking us out for dinner for Father's Day - lol...sounds really good except they are only about 3 hours apart, so we are trying to make a plan...like no breakfast and then get appetizers & salad for the first meal and main coure and dessert for the second meal - ha!
OK off to take a short walk and check on some of the houses under construction, then back home to get ready for the multiple meals - ha

Oops, just discovered I locked Cassie in the closet. I realized I hadnt seen her for a few. I have to put her food in the closet because she would knock down her food off the top of the refrigerator. She knows its in the closet and follows me in there. Ususally I hear her meow but I didnt hear her.

Oh Where Oh Where is Lora and everyone else? I know it was Father's Day and I know Lora you dont see yours but we missed seeing everyone but maybe I missed something. I know Jana was away and Robin S. too. I hope the weather wasnt a problem as I know they have been calling for severe weather in various states. I could have ended going to my friend. The heavy rain came a lot later than they were saying it would.
Even tho it would be a pain, I may wait a little longer to get a car so I can save to put a larger downpayment on it. My sister asked me if I thought of not having a car like my friend and her husband. My lifestyle and theirs are very different. They rarely went out even with their car. She doesnt drive. He went out more until he started having several accidents and realized it was time to stop driving.
I am busy with work and my social schedule. I havent gone to the gym because the transportation is difficult but I need to make more of an effort to get there despite that. I have thought of a different bus that would get me there easier. Getting home wouldnt be too bad either during the week or on a Saturday. Otherwise, since it would be such a short distance maybe I'd call Uber.
Have a remaining peaceful night.

Yes, it is a light day Janet... I know it isn't funny, but I had to smile thinking of Cassie getting herself locked in the closet. I guess you will decide what is best about the car. Will you still be able to shop for your friend without a car?
Well, we did end up going out to eat twice...DD and family took us to lunch and then DS and family took us to dinner - we managed to work it out well so as not to be gluttons - lol. We brought carry-out boxes home from dinner. I am heading to bed since I did not sleep well last night...tomorrow is a really busy day...but I will be back then. Night all
