Good morning all. Well I did not parcel out my points, I just ate the farm! Who knows what set that one off, anxiety, boredom, frustration. AFter breakfast I headed up to Costso, figured I needed to at least get out of the house. Also saw World Market supposedly had the bamboo steamer baskets I wanted. Well struck out at every turn. No cereal I wanted or Fairlife at Costco, no baskets, left both stores empty handed. Was just going to come home, got to the on ramp for the freeway, closed in my direction Detour took me past a grocery so decided to just stop and get the crackers and things DH had asked for. Of course it was right next to the Culvers, whose flavor was chocolate with mini MM's, and oreos. Once that happened it was down hill the rest of the way. DH didn't want to cook burgers after the soccer game, hot and muggy, plus he hadn't made any HB eggs I wanted for potato salad, thinking I would have the steamer basket when I got home. We decided to try pizza from a different place in Neenah, about 10 miles north. Went up to order and were taking it home. Sitting there waiting he decides to order a beer, asks me to share, then he wants more on the way home, of course, who can have just one! So I then had one of those with my pizza. I guess there are some NSV in there somewhere. I tracked all the ugly points and calories, I switched to the last NA beer we had at home after so I didn't just keep drinking, and I move on today. I did think to myself not that long ago, that would have just been a regular day, I probably ate that many calories most days, especially with the A involved, so I'm focusing on progress, not perfection. Today I will get my salads made, DH will make the burgers and I will eat accordingly during the day. I made up a pitcher of sun tea to enjoy, will get my steps and focus on protein again. I know the mini sabotage will make me crabby at the scale tomorrow but then I'll know what to do while I'm at the cabin alone and can just feed myself for a week. Blah, blah, blah, I'm sure you have all heard it before. Thanks for listening. No big plans today, run to Walmart for a couple things, dry cat food mostly. I sent in a Chewy order that's coming today, cans and treats, and never even checked how much dry we had. Guess I better get moving and start my day. Sure the RNC news will be on here, will be interesting week I'm sure. Enjoy your Monday all. Jan

Amy Thanks for starting us. Have fun at water aerobics. I'll try to send you the no jiggle july, it's just from a lady on the Connect site. Exercises to do each day and the reps go up during the month. She had a regular calendar and a modified one. Just something else for me to do, and it's fast. I'm going to try cutting my 10mg BP med in half and see if it makes me feel any different. I really don't think about the A these days, and then it just sneaks up on me like last night. Didn't crave it, need it, want it but then a sip leads to that little zoned out place and it tricks you so fast. There is no AIM. We'll see if DH continues today or stops again. Does you DH mostly just drink beer or something else? Glad you slept well. Hope the temps aren't that bad, should warm up the pool tho. You are still getting a lot of green beans! Yay for the floor being ready, it will look so nice. We don't have any carpet either.

Cindy Hugs on 9 years, hard to imagine. The party for your friends DH sounds quite odd. Maybe they will get the hint with so many declining the invitation. Obviously the gifts are not for him. Glad the tape is still working. Liked the idea of the fairies dancing in Amy's garden. We'll see how the RNC plays out. The ice cream recipe looks yummy. In the barn at the cabin I saw an old red bucket type ice cream freezer I think. It's all wrapped up in some plastic and probably hasn't been touched in 20 years. I think everyone's afraid to see what might be inside May have to do some investigating when I go up north. See if I could clean it up and put all those kids to work turning that crank!!

GG Glad you got to swim and see the VBS program. Have fun this week. Do you mostly do the music? Safe travels to the kids heading to Florida. Yay for Jack's team winning the tournament, I'm just always amazed at the heat these guys play in. Yikes about having family members at the Rally, so glad they were all safe, but how frightening for them to witness. The violence these days is just so random and uncalled for. What does it change or solve. The young man who did it had to know he would lose his life, and to just not even care. Now people will remember you for a bit, but at what cost to your family and the family of the man who was killed. Ugggh.

Carole Hope you had an awesome time up at the cottage. When do you go to Florida?

Waving hi.

Hi friends! I need to read the posts but I want to let you know—I was AF!! NOT ONE SINGLE DROP!! It was hard at some points but I did it. I told myself I can buy this dress I want , not need, for vacation. That is my reward! Besides not feeling guilty and having a hangover! Eat like poop but details!
