Our cookout got rained out. Plan B was pasta, which, in my current method, is little more than a showcase for roasted summer vegetables, so still appropriately seasonal and delicious!
I got an honorable mention in this week's Biggest Loser Beach Party Summer Challenge!
WI: -0.1kg, Exercise: +90 405/1800 minutes for July, Food: 90%op, Read my Advantages and Responses: yes
Lexxiss: good job taking care of yourself while taking care of your patients!
AmberPR: yay for jumping in! Organizing my Beck stuff: the books are on a shelf near my desk, my Advantages and Responses "cards" are really lists on a different sheet but the same Excel file where I record my morning weight, my food plan is sometimes written in a stenographer's notebook designated for it but also ends up on any old scrap of paper that's convenient or often just in my head (although I recommend writing it down at first -- I did that for months).
Overlord: glad to see you jumping in as well. I've largely become an indoor exerciser between allergies and weather. While you wait for the elliptical you could try pacing, walking in place, and stretching at home. Also, putting on some music and dancing, although I grant that might be even more of a stretch for a guy than a gal (and most gals find dancing at home alone pretty strange and embarrassing, at first).
Good job with the hunger experiment and learning exactly what it is supposed to teach! It's been nearly a year since I did it and I'm still able to pull out "hunger is not an emergency" and really believe it at appropriate times.
seadwaters: good efforts on your exercise and taxes!
BillBlueEyes: sounds like a wonderful 4th! Yay for being in control except for freshly roasted pig. Not too bad!
Ruthxxx: happy reading!
Beverlyjoy: Glad your stomach scare subsided. I think I'd assume that it had something to do with the colonoscopy or prep, if it happens only once. If it happens again, dear Beverlyjoy, I'd be recommending the ER.
You did a great job with yesterday's cookout and today's plan sounds great too!
Houston2Command: oh, look! You jumped in, too! Way to go! Great job talking yourself down from scale mania -- been there, LOL!
new2me2: Cool! White stars on purple sounds lovely!
