Eating was on plan with no daytime snacks, CREDIT moi. Dinner on the patio was reheated grilled salmon, spaghetti squash, spinach, and the standard green salad. Still in that phase of really liking the fresh garden lettuce. Great dawdling time since we can see the house across the street that is undergoing a face-lift after being many years overdue for a paint job. We're very judgmental about the order in which the contractor is going about it. He's doing some carpentry, then some painting of the first two floors - leaving the whole third floor untouched. I'm used to seeing a full-scale carpentry attack followed by a full house painting. Have the awful feeling that they think no one can see the third floor. So fun to nitpick real work being done.
Forgot to mention the other day that I leaned from my artist friend the pronunciation of 'gouache' - it's like "gwash". "It's like water color with more pigment. Can layer it, scrape it, remove it - all like you'd do with oils." She loves the stuff.
Joy (gardenerjoy) - Good news that your heat wave will break - all the way down to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Not yet exactly cool.
maryann - Waving. Congratulations to your San Francisco Warriors for beating the Boston Celtics for the championship.
nationalparker Love the image of Nana and the nearly-6yo DGS at the water park. Congrats for getting a US Coast Guard approved float assistant for him. I cringe whenever I see families putting little decorative arm bubbles on kids when they are near the ocean.
Karen (karenrn) - Yes, I do like that feeling in the summertime when the fridge gets full but is all consumed as salads and veggies. Does that apple cider vinegar really work?
Penny. - Sounds like a good exercise day.

1. Change your mindset.
The mindset of successful maintainers is different. They believe, None of these exceptions matters ... Because I want to maintain my weight loss permanently, I'm going to eat in the same way 365 days a year (unless I have made a rule that it is okay to use Special Event Calories).
