Good morning, Jennifer and Menuers,
I was able to enjoy the pool and had a wonderful picnic. However, picnic involved Strawberry shortcake, and I overate way too much. Not so much Saturday but last night after 6 I was snacking on the leftovers. Not good. The hot weather is going to continue all week. I do not see myself going to the pool after work today. I will give it till Wednesday. I am not crispy burnt, but I took in a lot of sun, so I need to remoisturize before I get any more.
QOTD: I love doing all of that stuff but usually don't because Ron is not able to do it without a lot of pain.
Accountability: I did hit the gym but overate yesterday.
TSS: 7 years 6-months 12-days 169.8 Lowest (129.4)
B: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer
MS: Premier Protein Root beer Float
CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer
L: Eggbites
D: grilled meatloaf (still sitting in the fridge maybe tonight)
Exercise: dog walking
Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.
Have a great weekend my friends.
Brightest Blessings

Good mornin to y'all!
it was a so so weekend. Kind of busy but one day was kind of lazy so it wasn't so bad. Today will be busy. All three kids stayed the night last night. We'll have them until 6ish. We have to run my old cricket to my aunt who bought it and my supplies. Glad to get it out of the house!
I have an appointment everyday the rest of the week. My last two PTs are this week, Tuesday and Friday. Psych provider and PCP the days between. I need to get my list of things to talk with my pcp. Lots to do today. Already made the kid's breakfast. Well two of em. Rachel is still asleep.
QOTD: I like those kind of things but I rarely do them anymore. Some due to the pain but also we just don't make time for it.
B: egg, turkey sausage, cheese and coffee
L: not 100% sure
D: probably some chicken and broccoli
this is a little orb I made for earrings. Itty bitty.
That is funny!!! The come chewing. I followed the rules for the first couple years, but I chew gum now. I never had a problem but never was prone to swallowing gum in the first place.

Yes, Actually I use the Clear-lax from Sams club I think 3 big bottles runs around $25. I see no difference in the outcomes.

Good morning, everyone!
I had a great trip to Florida: did some fishing swam in the newly renovated pool, bought a bicycle (and took a few rides) went out for a lobster boil and actually got some work done. It went by way too fast.
The boil was lobster (Maine), snow crab, mussels, clams, shrimp, corn and potatoes. Washed it down with a Modelo for a great dinner.
The bad news? I left almost all of my medication in Florida. Over the next day or so, I have to figure out what to do about that. We are leaving for a cruise on Sunday, so going back down isn't really an option.
QOTD: I love stuff like that!
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: catered
Dinner: meatballs
Have a great day all!

Happy Monday Gang. It was nice to have a three-day weekend, and this is another short week for me going into my vacation week next week. The heatwave officially started yesterday. Thank God for central air. I was doing some gardening throughout the day with taking breaks in the cool house.
Friday we were not able to go strawberry picking because every place was closed for ripening, so I came up with a plan to go mini golfing instead. We had so much fun it was way better than picking strawberries.
QOTD: Who here likes things like mini golf, go-karts, etc.? I haven't been mini golfing or go-karting in years and I told Irvin I want us two to go since the place in less than 10 minutes from us. There is also a place in Somers, CT that has bummer boats, batting cages, mini-golf and all sorts of fun stuff.
B: coffee and1/2 cup cottage cheese with raspberries
L: garden salad
D: chicken loaf with fresh swiss chard
Have a great day everyone!!

The kids are 6 and 9. The cars are like an up scale type of go kart, but they go as fast as 50mph. They have special suits, helmets, and they are well secured in the vehicles.

Super late post from me.
it was a busy-ish day. I'm exhausted but can't sleep. Nothing new there.
We took a load to the thrift store. Had my PT appointment. We did some things around the house. Feeling kind of blah.
QOTD: I can't eat pasta or rice. I may get two fork/spoon fulls but then it's a huge no.
food was decent! Had only once slice of the supreme pizza my mom got.
How nice that you got to watch the grandkids race. They grow up too dang fast.
QOTD: Chew gum. The dr's head nurse led our support group back in the day and she harped on that one over and over. She said dr. has had to go back to too many of his patients for emergency surgery to remove stuck gum. I'm slightly suspicious of that but I still haven't had any gum in nearly 19 years.
PT went much better today and I can tell there is good progress being made so they gave me more homework to do. I was even able to kneel on a cushion on top of a padded table for around 4 minutes!
B- my usual choc. protein/collagen shake.
L-nothing
D-1 oz steak, 1 cup asparagus
That's only 322 calories and 56 g protein. Looks like I can afford some Ants on a Log for a snack tonight!
Have a wonderful weekend! We started a cooldown today and will stay around the 60's for a few days, I'm going to take advantage and get some carrots planted.
Chrissy, have you ever tried off-brand versions of Miralax? Dr. wants me to switch to that instead of Benefiber and supposedly she wrote a script for it but I highly doubt the military has it in it's formulary. They haven't provided bariatric vitamins for years, cheapskates. haha
Thank you for the link to the recipe, it sounds delicious. Enjoy your pup and the pool this weekend.
