Move, track and hydrate
I am taking morning walks without DH or the dog to get my weight closer to goal. They are fine with it I think. I have a manicure at 9 a.m. and will go across the parking lot to Whole Foods to get a rotisserie chicken $2 off regular price this month so same as my local store, yogurt and a Camembert cheese from Petaluma, CA that they carry. Then I will see what I can do at home inside or outside in the yard. The former club president is bringing dinner for DH and me as a thank you for what I did the past year. I missed the thank you luncheon so this is special. I know the main course is chicken because she asked if we liked white or dark meat and I don't think it will be too high in calories. Hope we are all doing well now and that aches and pains are beginning to go away. Prayers for those who need them.

I will track,hydrate and move.
We need to go to the vet clinic to get heartgard and flea medication for Scooter.We both need a couple of things from Walmart and hoping to get more steps in there as it is a little larger Walmart than the one we have in Elgin.Hopefully I will get my walk in before we leave.
Have a good day all and KOKO.

Focusing on maintaining during daughter's visit.
Yesterday we stayed home and daughter gardened with hubby and we made apricot jam. Might be making mulberry jam today. Hubby wants pancakes (to eat with the jam) so will make some in a few minutes. Tomorrow we will head out early to go to Tyre and might see Cana and Naquoura while down there...or other sites along the way. Probably rest Thursday or stay local. Friday...we will see...hubby has to be in Beirut so we might go in together and while he is in a meeting we would go to the souks and look around.

Good morning Audrey Becky Bee Cathy and AWF. Another good sleeping night. We were also able to sit in the screen room last night. Simply a beautiful evening and the full moon was so bright. We got to see it a little even though it was very overcast. Today we are having our carpets steam cleaned. We'll have to leave the house when that happens. The men should be here by 10:00 or 10:30. They always call just before arriving. We'll walk with LuLa (weather permitting) and then stop in to see friends of ours that are 'dog friendly' Audrey enjoy your solo walk, manicure, shopping and your meal being brought to you by your friend. Such a nice gesture and feeling to be appreciated. Bee enjoy bible study. Also wondering what free Tuesday is Cathy enjoy both of those jams. They sound wonderful. Waving to AWF and will CBL

I am gonna enjoy FREE Tuesday on Snackatorium Lane at Bible study. Good idea, Bee, to move your "free-eating day" to the one where you have the least amount of control over what's available!

Audrey What a nice gesture of appreciation. While it is only one meal, but maybe the timing of a "whatever" meal is not optimal. So I will offer an idea, if you want, you could make one or two vegetable sides for yourself, eat the Chickenentree or meat, and let DH eat the rest.
Enjoy your extra walks.
Becky Glad that you can walk more. Seems like the gel injections are working. I know that you said that you will not know for sure until a month has passed,but I am hopeful for you. Happy shopping!
Bee j Wonder what the Snack Lane will feature today. . . Yiu have made "Free Friday" strategy work for you, so you know how to approach today's "Free Tuesday."
Cathy Love that your DD was able to garden w/ her dad and lay up some jam. As much as I enjoy historic places, I love sharing family time more?

Ann Nothing like a solid night of sleep to restore you. Have a lovely visit w/ your friend. Ha ha ha... we are hoping to capitalize on tail end the full moon for a better nite bite!
Mj Hope that the Diva Taxi runs smoothly today. Keeping your Mouseketeer in my thoughts and prayers. Hope that yesterday's meeting was constructive. Saw the YM video on FB. Was very proud of your Kressling & his group. Impressive and dignified. Made my heart grow warmto see the YM and the Marine perform the ceremony together.

Tuesday's goal Figure out what is for dinner. I have the protein part of breakfast & lunch already prepared. Lots of physical work & walking to do here.
Will try to run over to nursing home & help mom get ready for her first outing w/ nursing home. If time allows, I will join her for lunch at MillCreek Gardens. If I cannot, she should still have a nice time.
waving to LaDonna, Pam, & Susi. Hope I did not forget anyone. hope to CBL later.

Audrey, ever since I went on maintenance I give myself 1 free day a week. On that day I allow myself to eat something I want that I don't the rest of the week. It's not a surprise meal, just a lane of snacks that vary from week to week.
Cathy, you and DD seem to be having fun.
Ann, we are overcast also, and more rain forecast for us. Hope the steam cleaners do a good job. When they replaced my floors, I now have laminate all through the house. I love it. I always hated carpet.
That's true, MJ. And all those snacks have such come hither voices.
June, I had to teach myself that the FREE day is for a treat, not a smorgasbord of everything I didn't have this week. Hope your Mom enjoys her outing.
A FREE day is something I read about from a WW testimony a long time ago --- I think in a People Magazine. BUT as long as I was trying to lose weight, I didn't do it. I was just too focused and too controlled by the plan. Once I went into maintenance, it was a whole new ball game for me. What I do works for me, but may not work for everybody.
Hope ALL have a great day.
P.S. And I am still working on remembering to drink. LOL

Morning. No walk yesterday - but I want to do better today! A day of KOKO and a regular day at work. The office will be providing chicfila sandwiches but I think I will pass. Love their sandwiches but while out shopping Saturday I got one and it was not good...so I wasted 12 points on a sandwich I did not enjoy. I won't make that mistake again today. Audrey, sounds like a nice day on tap and you don't have to worry about cooking...win win Becky, hope you are able to get in those extra steps. I can't believe how much my foot is still bothering me after two weeks. Hope to get in a bike ride today. Bee, since your free day is today I hope they have lots of choices you will enjoy Cathy, pancakes and jam sound wonderful! Ann, bet the carpets will look nice! enjoy visiting with friends! June, sounds like a busy but productive day. Hope you find your mom well if you get a chance to visit.

I'll try to catch up on personals but it's going to be another crazy day. How nice Audrey. What a treat! My walks with Charlie are definitely slower since he is almost 14, so much lunch walk is my fast walk. Ann - Glad you slept well. Becky - Have you ever tried the Seresto flea and tick collar for Scooter? It works for 9 months. Charlie does very well with it. Bee - It's probably good you switched from free Friday to free Tuesday Cathy - Sounds like you are getting a nice mix of busy and slower pace. Hi MJ, June, LaDonna, Pam and anyone I missed
