Hi y'all! Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend—we had a 3-day weekend here in the US, and considering I usually eat WAYYY too much at family get-togethers, I did better than I expected RE: calories yesterday, especially considering we had birthday cake.
So a quick report on my goals from last week:
1. Stop stepping on the scale! MET, yay! Easier than I thought, too, although this morning I'm fighting the urge to "weigh in"; but I'm trying to look at the scale no more than fortnightly so that when I do look at it, it does more than sit there and mock me
lol
2. Add more fruits/veggies, especially as snacks. MET—also easier than I thought, I just had to plan my grocery shopping accordingly
3. Daily basic calisthenic workout. MODIFIED to "Swim laps 3x/week," which I sort of met (swam laps 2x last week—I changed my goal on a Tuesday, and my plan is to make M,W,F my lap swim days)
Goals for this week:
1. Stay off the scale!
2. Swim at least 4 laps (200m) 3x/week
3. Be conscious of food choices and times
Wanted to get caught up on posts from over the weekend, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen, sorry
too many other things I should be doing. I'll check in again later today—hope everyone's off to a great start this week! 
xoxo

3a. Replace nighttime snacks with celery sticks and a smidge of ranch dip—0 to 35 (nighttime snacking to celery sticks+dip) is an easier/smoother transition than 0-70 (nighttime snacking to nothing)
3b. Make sure I take trace mineral concentrate (TMC) before dinner so I don't use TMC as an excuse for snacking after dinner
@Mike how did you do in your race? Did you meet your personal goals?3b. Make sure I take trace mineral concentrate (TMC) before dinner so I don't use TMC as an excuse for snacking after dinner

When are you heading out? You'll probably pass him at the airport. Now that would be funny a total stranger walking up to him with a piece of rum cake
! BTW it's your move.

The strippers do more than dance in NOLA, or at least that's what I've been told. 
Yeah yeah, I know it's my move. You've been getting lucky lately but your streak of luck is about to end. How many people did you convert over to the game?
