8. Make 10 dozen buttermilk xmas cookies Mon/5 dozen done!, Tues/No, a pickle jar fell over, soaked the chilling dough so had to toss the rest of it. Wed/No, it's a real PITA making the dough! Thurs/Got the big bowl out!
Missed my calorie goal yesterday because a foster cat stole some of my tofu dogs right off the stove. She KNOWS cats are not allowed on my counters! I thought a dog did it but they all looked innocent. I found the cat with the evidence upstairs. I can't believe she managed to get by all the dogs with it.
libby116, nice job on getting another 30 minutes of walking in!
Mern, my doctor was biased, he should have said at least 17 pounds, lol. TBH means to be honest. So TBH, the closer I get to my ideal weight the harder it is to actually get there even when doing everything right. Running seems to maintain my weight but lifting is what gives me the shape I want. I would love to lose another 7-10 lbs but I also want to build more muscle mass because I like the definition it gives me.
01gt4.6, glad to see you hit that water goal! So Mern and I are waiting...

DONE1) join the gym yes
DONE2) workout 3 times yes,no,yes,no,yes
3) drink a lot of water no,no,yes,yes,yes
After being fat and lazy for a couple months, I finally made it back to the gym. I hit it up 3 times. I'm still fat but at least I'm a little less lazy. Even though I'm fresh at it, I still pushed pretty hard. I'm still sore from Monday's workout. I lost a little strength but not near what I expected. I'm working out with a different friend and my lifts are waaaay higher than his. I expected him to be as strong as me (or close) because we're about the same size but he's not. I hate to say it but it kinda makes me feel good. Now I'm going to try to push him hard to get him stronger b/c I don't think he's really been pushed.

I can't believe I forgot to mention this (with all the animal talk)... Last month I drove out to Texas and picked up a pup at a shelter. Yes... I drove 12+ hours to give this baby a home. He's the sweetest little thing. His name is Avery and he's a real lady killer!
He's unbelievably smart. It took all of 2 minutes to tech him how to you the doggie door. The youngest of the chirrens already taught him how to sit, shake and lie down on command. He is super loveable. He was a little skittish when I first put him in the grass, I don't think he knew what it was. Now he runs around the yard like he owns it.
He loves to play rough with Chloe', our 70+ pound boxer. Mytsie (our Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix) is starting to warm up to him. She's always been nervous around others. Somehow Avery (aka Houdini) escaped through a section in the fence. I guess Chloe' wasn't big enough to torment so he tracked down a great dane on the street behind us. So yesterday I spent a good part of my day redoing the fence so the little sucker doesn't wander off again.
See... I told ya he's a looker!

I can't believe how warm it is here! I'm meeting people at the beach later but I think I'm gonna skip going out tonight. I'm dragging this morning, been staying out way too late.
I decided to weigh myself today and you know that joke "single women come home, see what's in the fridge and go to bed..."? So true, I am 3 pounds away from my "pre relationship" weight! I was kind of shocked. Unfortunately my Body Fat is about 2% higher then it was before at the same weight so I am going to focus on increasing my lifts so I can get back to my former BF%.
Where did everyone go?

It's usually slow here on the weekends. We may start have to adding in some weekend challenges.
