I kept looking for the morning thread but didn't see it yet. I guess MJ is busy with DBIL's accounts.
Good morning! I'm IN! I was up early in preparation of the roofers who are coming to replace our roof today. But, it was really foggy and misty outside at 6 a.m. so I knew they wouldn't be coming with that weather. The roofing company called and agreed today isn't a good day. They will watch the weather and see how the days look because the remnants of Hurricane Hanna have kept the moisture level up. It should start drying out by Wednesday so maybe they can get that done then.
I'm going to the mall this morning when it opens at 10 to get a walk in there. Afterwards, I'll be stopping at the grocery for fresh produce.
I'm IN. Planning, tracking and drinking water are on the agenda for today. Have a great day, y'all!

Happy Monday!
Here is to week 20 at home! I hope it's better than last week! LOL
I got to babysit the grand again on Saturday! He is now officially crawling and has his first tooth (yup, he got me). He kept wanting to crawl over to their sliding glass door and look out! He is too cute!
The gallbladder is still being a pain (literally) but not as bad as this time last week. I get a little twinge every once in awhile. So far it hasn't been bad enough to go to the doctor.
I was down 2.2 lbs with my WI this morning for a total of 17.6 gone since November.
I hope you all have a GREAT day! Positive energy to all!

neen , hope you feel better and congrats on the weight loss---not an easy thing to do with all that's been going on! Good morning. It's going to be another hot one. Done with most of the outside chores so the rest of the day will be a kitchen day. I have a bumper crop of pickling cucumbers so they need to be pickled and today is the day. Also making a cauliflower faux-tato salad which tastes amazing close to real potato salad but at way fewer points than the real thing. Making a bunch of hard-boiled eggs too, and some chocolate chip cookies for DH. I have some corn that needs to be shucked for dinner tonight, something on the grill I guess. TBD. Pickling cucumbers, ready to go---this will make about five or six quarts.

My cukes are numerous but not that many. They did well this year. I put six seeds in a deep 20" wide planter and usually get more than enough for 6-8 quarts of pickles and plenty to use for salads. This should make at least five quarts and I have plenty of babies and flowers on the vines so it's a little bit of a bumper crop! |

fullmahina, gorgeous cucumbers! neen, congrats on the great weight loss! I hope your gall bladder issue eases soon. I have such an oddly small appetite today. And now I have some indigestion and mild heartburn and that's further reducing it. I did enjoy the nice lunch I made. Basically a tuna melt, but instead of on bread, it was in a roasted red pepper half placed on spring greens with tomato slices on the side. This morning, I looked at myself in the mirror and I swear I look thinner after only about a week and a half of cutting down on food. I asked my husband if it was just a cognitive distortion and he said that he agrees that I do look thinner. Did I lose that much bloating? I'm sure I did lose some fat, but the water weight loss is surely the main culprit.

i think the bloat goes away really quickly within the first few weeks of being back "on".
it's kind of strange to think how much we retain when not making the best food choices and then it suddenly drops when we finally start making the better choices. i follow a low carb group on facebook and people will post pictures from before/after when it's only been a week or so. you can definitely tell the difference!

I’m in although it’s late. I’m tracking, hydrating and moving as I cane walk around the house. I’m continuing to smile as I aim for blue. Hoping your day is going well.

I'm IN.
We got a text from DBabySis that DBigBro's new power recliner was "out for delivery" at 6:30 AM so were rushing out of the house before 7. Chair was delivered at 5 PM and we didn't head home until after 6 PM.
I'm tired. We both are. And it's "one step forward and two steps back" with this whole situation.
I'm trying to lose myself in TV. Tomorrow will be a work-from-home day, with many calls and e-mails for Phase TWO of the Oh, BROTHER! Project.
