No change for me today. Oh well.

Will not be doing much of anything today nor the rest of the holiday weekend. I have zero money. And it will be raining all weekend. So I can't go outside. Watching TV I guess. My cream ran out this morning and no money to buy more. This will be a miserable weekend.

Sorry to be such a pooper. I sure hope everyone has a MUCH better weekend outlook than me!

PAULETTE...I SO VERY MUCH DO UNDERSTAND! That is why I am out there hand icking these berries one by one in 90-100+ degrees daily for 10-13 hours a day. It is not fun.It is not therapeutic. It is hot and sticky and full of gnats and biting and stinging things. It IS however my income for the year.last year we had nega costs becasue of the older child's visit and the grandsons.We had all that repairs and dedoing to do and foods for the week. Teen boys eat like a thousand soldiers on a long march! So, Ran out of $$ many many months ago. Savings are poof.. oh I KNOW how you are feeling.

Yes, I dumped a ton. All that water gain had FINALLY decided to leave. Now I KNOW it will be back with MORE on top and that's fine. I am having those berries not that I want to. Only having the ones form a new bush and and then only one or 2. TOday was major grocery shopping for Jodi and some for me. I use an rewards card for everything for the coupon from the card each month. It pays for Cookie's horse feed! and then with the balance pain in full, I pay no interest so free food and no interst is a good thing In the oven are the drumsticks made with tangerine water enhancer this time.. YUMMY! and also the pork ribs. Next is the bacon strips to do tonight. I made a mistake an packed up Jodi's foods for work.. YIKES.. she is OFF this weekend so she now has a great meal packed and ready for later. right now she is on the road to see if a horse is one she may be interested in to finish her gold medal on.It would be years before Andreas is ready for this level. Jodi is one of only a handful of Grand Prix Riders in Dressage in the state. She's trained ALL of her own horses that she has ever competed on.. excpet Tide that she plays with in competitive trail. All the hunters and Jumpers, Dressage and Park saddle horses were hers and tained by her. YES, I am a proud a Mom.
SO, here I am waiting for the oven to be done and get the next batch of stuff in there. I will be out again to pick this afternoon after feeding.. about another 2 hrs from now. It is a lot of walking and standing for hours so that mya explain the extra weight loss as well. My clothes are not looser either, so even with that much weight off there is still the flab taking up a lot of room.

CHRISSIE: So sorry about the THRONE! Carl works ~ HD and our thrones break too often. Those float valves keep getting stuck and water does not fill and shut off. Have that wiggle the handle as auto pilot now
SHOUT out to everyone here and getting off!
Have a great time at the concert and BBQ! Sounds like such a nice time!

I have been in contact both phone and e-mail with Rains whi has had some sort of difficulty with getting on this site. I have called again today.
I am removing her from the team until she manages to get on this site. I have no idea what the issues are but enough time has passed. I hope to see her figure things out and find her way back to us.

It is time to review your menus and plans and see what is going on if you are gaining. Is it really all water becasue of a lot of fat replacement or is anyone off plan? PAULETTE.. you I KNOW are on plan but maybe need a tweak and take a look at the foods you have eaten. perhaps something is doing this? CATHY... need to take a careful look at your plan amd menu?
As O said, my weight is going to go UP into the stratoshere soon. I expect that.
Have a good evening and better Memorial day Monday

Oops Paulette i'm so sorry things are hard for you right now. I hope Tuesday the mailman brings you $$$$...hang in there

No change in weight for me again.

CRICKET, I have no idea why I have slowed down to a snail. I have noticed that my calories are very low lately. Normally around 1000 or below! Maybe my metabolism has slowed or something, I don't know. I have no money for eggs and such. I ran out of cream and I have no money to buy more, so I have not had my decaf for 2 days now and it is weird. It's like I don't know what to do now in the morning. I always drank about 3 cups of coffee while doing my emails and blogging. I can't drink it black. It is the cream I enjoyed most, I guess. Oh well. I have been without other more important things, and having no cream is no major pitfall. At least I have some venison and a couple chicken legs left in the freezer!!!!!! I would be in trouble if I ran out of food... I would be forced to go to the food pantry, and we all know they do not give protein - only carby stuff and sugar. These checks better start coming in soon. It makes me mad how some of my clients wait until the last day of the month to pay me, but, hey, they run a business, too, and I guess they all wait until the last day or something. How stupid. I prefer paying MY bills ON TIME...

Good Morning A TEam!! Whew - sorry I missed yesterday it was a whirlwind I worked with a brass choir Sunday morning for a patriotic service (one of my favorite things to do) and then in the afternoon my group from the theatre sang the National Anthem for the Braves baseball game! fireworks too! Then a graduation party - food everywhere - but as you see I resisted and lost weight This morning i am proud of myself when i think of all the holiday food and even my best friend bothering me about eating her cake. Ah - but by now - I am not surprised and and know what to do....Thank to Cricket and the support of my team = yall can do it too - no magic formula, just day in day out decisions. 5 pounds at a time - I've lost 82 pounds (give or take) lol Yall enjoy your day and hope to hear from you! Sunny
--------------------

PAULETTE~~ I am so sorry! No pity. Just sorry you have clients like this. AGAIN. we understand this. Jodi had a client that was always late in her board $. She was charged late fees but that does not matter when you have YOUR bills due. I did have the opportunity ( same woman that WAS my not much of a friend ) to tell her that she was not being fair. Her horse ate every day and Jodi would like that as well! I think, as far as your diet goes, it is time to increase the calories and kick up the furnace. You are entering the very common bored metabolic pattern. I know keto calc is great, but it does not account for this syndrome! When you can, increase the fats. More in the tuna of mayo. Not cheese calories.. pure fats. That will help a lot. Try not to up the porteins at all. I used to do 84% min. of fats. Keeping fingers crossed for thoe cks to get in!.. In the meanwhile, have lots more water!

SUNNY what a busy lady and now go back and sit on that potty and PEE!!!! Today drink a ton and get that water gone!
You are doing so well and will be happy to see this game end.
Today I am UP UP UP as I knew I sould be, so at least the new game can begin with not having to lose 15 pounds!!! LOL... How was Alan's send off? Bet he is SOOO excited! Yu have nice boys!

So, on th is home front. Decided not to pick and wait until they are sugar sweet. Lots out there and spent hours early morning ( 6AM ) cutting out not berries and pruning dead brances. I found the most humongous poison ivy ever! Hope the hour i spent in the grove after cutting that away was not too long before i got my hands washed. NO, of course I wore no gloves!
weight is up SIX point six pounds of water (135.6( and ring stuck fast. I'll probably gain more than that it is a miserable slow cycle for me. At this time of year, traking is basically non existent since the food patterns are so crazy. I eat on plan when i DO eat, and watch that I have no additional carbs. I eat tuna ( YES PAULETTE, I am eating TUNA) and lots of HC. TG for that credit card. it is the only way I can buy anything. Social security checks do not cover sh#t! BUT happy I HAVE IT!
So, the foods are well known to me, the amounts are mionimal, no cheat foods.. berries are a must do deal. No veggies at all now for the next 3 months during berry season.
Today I am indoors so it is the usual menu. I MUST increase the water. MUST!
