Nope, sorry... living in paradise - Okanagan area
Vancouver Island is great though, been to Uclulet, Tofino, Nanaimo, Victoria, and canoed through the Gulf Islands (used to live in the Vancouver area 30+ years ago). Still have the Northern tip on our bucket list, lol. Parksville is lovely too, so I hear.

Not too many parts of BC to dislike, eh

I love the Okanagan too - spent some time there 2 summers ago. Let me know if you are considering completing your bucket list.

Great Attitude. Sometimes after a nice loss we hold on a little bit before another drop, I'm sure you will be saying these words back to me over the next year My WI is tomorrow. It will the end of week 4 so that's sort of a nice milepost. 100% for 4 weeks.

You have a great start to today. Me, two meetings, a cup of coffee... I did put the fitbit in my pocket... let's see.... 163 steps so far today... not counting pre get dressed steps. I need to shake a leg! Ugh I feel so sedentary.


All,
I lost 2 lbs this week, and have been happy with my food choices and life in general. No huge plans for the holiday. Getting together with family some, but no huge events. How about you all?

I have to work a bit tomorrow morning, but looking forward to the majority of the day off. We bought a little chief smoker last weekend. I smoked some salmon for the guys, and I've tried a taste only. It turned out really good. I'm not sure how to calculate marinade and if the small amount of sugar in there really absorbs all the way and how much, so I don't want to chance it.
Tomorrow is walk day! and veggie restocking day.

Halfagain....we smoke salmon without any sugar or molasses ( years ago started using a low carb marinade found via " low carb friends" set online- using a bit of soy sauce, sea salt, sometimes some grated ginger, sometimes some smoke flavour. It's really good.
I'm looking forward to what's supposed to be a great salmon run in BC next month. Yum!!

We had a parade in our town too. We drove thru just before they closed the road, and waved to the early crowds :-)
Just did a shorter walk today with hubby. It was a lovely day.

I didn't see this thread before! I turned 50 in December. Love that I will look and feel better at 51 than I did at 49 - or maybe even 45!

It's great to have you join us Momotrips! I totally agree with you, and feel the same way. I'll be turning 53 in November. Sort of cool getting senior discounts with the AARP thing we joined. I thought I'd be trying to deny being 50 when I got there, but give me a 10% or 15% or whatever discount, and I'm all for it. LOL the older I get the younger the "older" generation appears.

I got asked for the first time if I was eligible for the senior discount (55 at the store I was at) - kinda wanted to say yes but afraid of getting 'carded', lol. We laughed when I told her it was coming soon enough - could I get an honorary senior discount on those days I feel crappy? I was pretty sure it wasn't because I looked even older than I am; since I've gone summer blonde with red streaks and was strutting around in my boardshorts, tank, & flip-flops I got a few looks from men in their late 30's (feeling somewhat like a 'cougar' or maybe 'sabre-tooth tiger' an older version of cougar, lol).
Anyhow, I was just feelin' good on a sunny day and I think that's attractive on anyone .
