Diet Coaches/Buddies - Eating was on plan, CREDIT moi. The only daytime snack was a bunch of strawberries; DW bought a quart of local strawberries that won't last a whole week. They have to be eaten - or they'll end up as compost. Fortunately, my own little perverse manner of counting calories assigns ZERO calories to strawberries. However, for this minor transgression, the scale punished me by two pounds this morning. Perhaps it has its own perverse manner of counting calories, LOL. I need the Beck lecture about not getting too caught up in the scale readings.
We dawdled after dinner on the patio until 8:30pm - while it was still light. Gotta love these longest days of the year.
The time has come to register for courses in the fall. I'm contemplating courses in: the planets of our solar system; the human brain; and seeing art. I'd love to take all three. An odd side effect of courses being forced to Zoom is that there is more competition for each course since traveling isn't a barrier to anyone.
Joy (gardenerjoy) - Had to google
pulled jackfruit sandwich - adding it to my list, although I don't know where I can buy one.
maryann - Great first sentence for a novel,
"I cooked my groats." Maybe a bodice slasher, LOL.
Karen (karenrn) - Ouch for a lost visit with your SIL. Yeah for making a sane choice around isolation. And Yay again for being able to wash your own hair. A mutual friend who I am in contact with gave me my old roommate's email. It's good to have at least one friend who stays in contact with everyone.
curlyjax - Yay for fresh herbs. I love the notion of 'discovered' chives.
Penny. - Ouch for anyone sneezing. Anytime. Anywhere. When my allergies call for a sneeze, I have to lift my mask to put my handkerchief over my face because it absorbs more.

The Role of Thinking
Once you get to this point, sticking to your diet gets dramatically easier. That's when you will breathe a sigh of relief. You will know the formula works for you, too.
