Chrissy, you have done great with this journey. Regain periods are part of it and you will lose that extra weight at some point. It took me about 2 years of following the new Weigh****chers program to lose about 30 pounds. It was one pound a week and many weeks no loss. But it was during COVID and I was stuck inside the house so attended one, two or sometimes three online meetings almost every day.

The new program is so different from the old Weigh****chers. Now you eat anything you please as long as you track it. It was a real change in my life and all the years of denying myself certain things or feeling so guilty when I ate them.

They do encourage you to keep moving and you are doing excellent at that. Could your mom really eat all of that? It looks so delicious but the size would overwhelm me. Sometimes I wish I could have my old stomach back for a while so I could enjoy a really big meal and fini****

Have a great weekend and thanks for starting today.

Good Morning Menuer's

Glad this was a short week. I have no official plans this weekend. I do have Gym scheduled for Tomorrow and Sunday and I have mom duty. I plan on sticking to my diet plan if it kills me. I really need to get off at least 10lbs and hopefully motivated enough to do 10 more after.

My neighbor Peony We usually see Jim's this time of year.

My mom had to have this Strawberry pecan ball she looks so happy

Hi! Thought I'd be smart and pre-plan for today last night then I only slept 3 1/2 hrs and woke up too darn tired to mess with it. I planned a cheat day but couldn't be bothered, lol. Ended up with 487 calories, 67g prot, 29g carbs, 14g fat and we won't discuss the sodium. It's my birthday after all so wonderful salt was my cheat.

B: 1 zucchini and 1 onion slice sauteed, topped with 6 Tab egg substitute.

S: Almond milk collagen sf latte

L: nothing, not hungry

D: 2 oz lean ground beef sauteed and well drained, 2/3 cup Shirataki noodles, 1/2 cup Hunts marinara, 1 cup home canned green beans.

LS: the plan is to have a Fairlife chocolate shake that I've frozen into cubes blended into a milkshake for a treat. But my pouch hurts from all that ground beef and marinara so I may skip it.

Our weather has been so weird...mostly cool and dry until yesterday when it went to 91. Then today, back to cool again and bouts of pounding rain. Just as well, I was too tired and achy to be working in the garden. Looking forward to seeing your Billy Goat, he sounds handsome!

Edit: I loosely try to follow Dr. Matthew Weiner's 'A Pound of Cure' but am finding it hard to get in my pound and a half of veggies. Hopefully as I get back in the swing of things it will be easier.

Hope everybody had a great day, see you tomorrow!

I left cable well over 15 years ago. I stream a bunch of stuff on Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime, plus get local news stations.

Have fun, Kelly!!
