hello everyone. Just a quick check in. Sam goals as last week. drink lots of water and post everyday. I have been getting my yard in shape this past few days. I finished planting everything but the onion and asparagus. Will work on getting them in the ground the coming week. I have been working outside lifting, bending, shoveling and to morrow mowing.
Have a great day. Nyda

Today's menu:
I'm still not in a food rut--just enjoying some faves I have on hand.
Breakfast: zero cholesterol eggs, flaxmeal muffin, almond milk
Snack: protein shake and unsalted sunflower seeds
Lunch: edited to change to rotisserie chicken and spinach low carb quesadilla, 1/2 a fresh peach
Snack: celery with soy nut butter
Dinner: tuna salad, low net effective carb spaghetti with marinara sauce, green beans, black bean brownie
Snack: protein shake, green pepper spread with reduced fat Laughing Cow cheese
Hope, nice report yesterday! -ish is always good. If you still have trouble posting images, maybe someone else can tell you a way that's easier. I don't think Mike's wife will let us wear our dominatrix costumes any more but here's a whip in case Mike gets out of line and gains 75 lbs.
Nyda, like you, I'm finding simple goals are easier for me to live with. With all the manual labor you do, I'll bet you don't even need formal exercise. Your work around your property surely burns a lot of calories!

Nobody wanted to go to the fire works because they had to get up early this morning so I watched the 11:30 news before I went to bed. Today I am going to make some semblance of order out of my sewing room so I can actually sew in there. That means going through lots of boxes of material and putting like things together and having fewer boxes. I am still looking for the material for a jacket that I want to sew. Have a great day.

Libby, best wishes on organizing your sewing room. Wonderful that you can sew! What kind of jacket do you want to make--material and color/pattern.
Mike, LOL on "Whip it." I'll bet Hope will enjoy that, too.

It's quiet here today....I can see I'm not the only one who's not feelin' it today! So hard to get back on track when you allow yourself to get off track for a day. Sigh! I don't feel chatty today, but I'm sure I'll be back online tomorrow.
Hope everyone is having a good day!

Debbie, I know it's hard to get back on track when you've been off for a day, but you've done it before and you can and will do it again--even though it's fun to eat whatever you want on occasion.
I'm doing very well today. Just have been busy--dental appointment this morning, grocery store trip and supervising 10 and 12 year old grandkids in the afternoon. I have to bite my tongue to keep from saying I BABYSIT them. LOL
How's DD doing with her new bike? Getting any easier?
Wishing you a good day and an easier time than you expect getting back in the groove

Hope was right about the role of the balsamic vinegar in the black bean brownie recipe--it reacts with the baking soda to help the rise. No worry about using the balsamic in that recipe because the flavor is masked by the generous amount of unsweetened cocoa powder. But white or cider vinegar would have the same effect according to this article at Using vinegar in baking | Baking Bites
