Diet Coaches/Buddies - Eating was on plan with no daytime snacks, CREDIT moi. Dinner was a soup/stew of white beans, spinach, fennel, onions, and red bell peppers. Super good. Washed it down with a slice of cheese toast. The fennel was subtle; I'd have hoped for it to stand out more. Sorta just sat there like celery. Get to claim being vegetarian for another day. Methinks DW is taking us in a new direction - just without a formal announcement.
The lock down forcing us to attend events by Zoom had a plus last night. DW talked me into Zooming into a performance of ancient music - near Gregorian chant style. Terrific orchestra, terrific location, terrific singers - just not my thing. It was so easy to tune out and do something else with my time. My apologies to
Claudio Monteverdi for not liking his music. I'm still working on Dvorak.
Joy (gardenerjoy) - Always enjoy being reminded that food doesn't fix any problem except hunger. It certainly can't unvacillate your plans for the day.
maryann - There's a Panera within walking distance of my house. It's terrifying to learn that I can get scones at half price since I don't have a hungry young man at home to consume them. Congrats for reaching a normal BMI by 1998 standards. Methinks it unfair that "they" are moving the goal posts in the BMI world.
nationalparker – Good luck scheduling your HVAC contractor. Went off to listen to Lizzo's
About Damn Time as I type here. Waking me up for sure.
Karen (karenrn) - Waving toward the Grand Canyon. Bon Voyage. Super excited about your trip. Have a great hike.
curlyjax - Congrats for your response to the bathroom contractor - that'd you'd just paint your way out of a $450 fix. Getting your fix of tulips sounds fun.
Penny. - "Thaw, foods, thaw!" Hope this helps, LOL.

Graph Your Weight Loss
Every morning when you step on the scale and see the result, get in the habit of looking at your starting weight and telling yourself, Since the beginning, the number on the scale is down by ___ pounds ... That is great!
