I was super hungry all week, but stayed on program and am just taking it one day at a time, which I find less overwhelming than thinking about the weeks ahead. I walked each day last week and am feeling very determined.
I wish everyone a wonderful day on program!
Have fun with your IP baking!

I start with my WI at 8 ct. I have a sore back so the inflammation will probably show up on the scale.
Hoping you had a visit from the woosh fairy.

My boys are home sick today so I feel like I'm having a day off. However, they don't "rest" very well, so I'm sure it won't be a very relaxing day. When I'm sick, I lie in bed and SLEEP.... why do kids not get that concept??
I think it's a boy thing. My daughter spends the day sleeping when she is sick, but my 9 yo DS is usually bouncing off the walls.

I've had some really terrific meals, from smoked/grilled salmon salad, to Filet Mignon, and grilled chicken and shrimp. I've also been switching my lunch and dinner so my biggest meal is in the middle of the day.
Hope you all have a great start to the week!! I'm looking for another 100% week on my end, so I can start chipping away at my last ten pounds!
I have been switching lunch and dinner a couple times a week, but am thinking of making that permanent as a Monday-Friday thing. On the weekends I'll play it by ear. I feel satisfied longer when I have a big lunch, and then the salad and veggies for dinner. When I do that, I actually can wait to have my snack until the evening.

I forgot that right above the window ledge in the basement was a heating duct blowing hot air on them for days. Le sigh. At least I had "fresh" dried spices for a day! LOL
I am picturing your condo with sprawling zuchini taking over your deck and climbing up the wall! LOL. I'm sure there is a garden, but I prefer my mental picture of you growing Zuchini in a deck planter. Zuchini I can usually manage to not kill. Peppers? I plant 10 plants and get one or two motley coloured pepper. So I'm stuck with getting the DDT sprayed ones from some tropical country. The only thing I can grow in abundance is tomatoes -- which I'm only allowed 2x a week. Go figure.
I haven't done very well with the vegetable gardens either. I typically have 1-2 pots on our deck with tomatoes and cucumbers. I have a tough time remembering to water them, and also have an issue with wild animals. Last summer something kept digging up my tomato plants, and then decided to poop in the middle of the pot.
After that, I just started stopping at a local farmers stand to buy fresh picked produce. I'm fortunate because they set up the stand only 2 miles from my house.
