Yah I made it thru first day with the boys....we all ate good! We went swimming for good exercise for about a hour and road bikes. We did take a golf cart ride around town visiting my sisters and their grandpa on their Dads side. I have them pretty much all day today. They are still asleep only 6:30 am...we didn't go to bed until 3:00am, lol. They will probably sleep until noon...no matter what time I go bed always get up early...love mornings. I rent a movie Scoob for them and we ate popcorn late. I look back at my journey of eating better and 6 months ago I could not of done all I did yesterday with the boys so even it is slow I am feeling better and moving! Won;t be long veggie stands will be popping up yah....ready for fresh green beans, Indiana tomatoes, and summer squash. Hope all is well with you and hope family doing well!

Sorry, I have not answered you. I thought you had left the site.
Just had a week with my grandchildren. My daughter and her husband came down and let me meet my new grandson. Lots of fun!
I cooked three meals a day and while I wasn’t real bad, I ate a lot more than normal. I have not weighed in a week, but will tomorrow. Not sure what to expect.
I planted some zucchini and cucumbers yesterday. Hope I get a crop before heading north mid July. We are going to babysit for 10 weeks.
My wife is also overweight. She has lost 22 lbs, but she can’t exercise as much as I do so it comes off slow.
Good to have my friend to chat with again!

you sound like you are good Mamaw and Papaw's. Three meals a day you were busy! I am sure your daughter missed your cooking. I have my grandsons 5 days a week while Chels is doing her internship and it is a killer on my diet. Today they wanted chocolate chip pancakes...I didn't eat one but I did pinch a piece off of one. I love zucchini and cucumbers...when we use to camp I lived on cucumbers..there would be veggie stands all around us and I would buy them out. I would just dice up and eat. I bet you didn't gain a pound..you might have socked you body and loss more. You will lose weigh have the grandchildren for 10 weeks...they keep you busy...but good loving memories. Good luck on the scales and remember the feeling of being healthy is so good and motivating for our body and souls!

Had a goo Friday ate fairly good...stayed in my calories. Had the boys last time this week..they were pretty good. Had corn on cob today so good. Had some exercises running and playing with the boys now gone to clean for about 2 hours so more exercise. I really wanted to gt out to this little lake or pond I like to go to but didn't get there boys went back to sleep after coming here and sleep toooo long. Hope for a great weekend!

Well still trying to get back to my weight before the kids came for the week. Probably two more days before I get back to were I was.
Been painting decks the last two days. This virus has been good for my house and garden.
We have a black lives matter protest march tomorrow. Pray that it is all peaceful.
Finally found toilet paper today. Fortunately I had bought a huge package at Costco just before the virus hit, so I was never close to running out, but had not seen any in the store in three months.

I sure don't know what people are doing with all this toilet paper they have bought, lol. In this area we are just now getting it back in stores better...I buy it in a big bulk, maybe 48 rolls so I was doing alright. Oh please come to my home and stain and water proof my deck...it needs it. I had someone do it last year but the floor didn't hold...most likely my dog running across it with there nail. I think if I find the energy I will pressure wash and try it..it is about 14 ft by 25 ft. I have been praying for this world..it is so scary with riots. I stop going to Muncie...a bigger town around me...by myself. I go to Portland for groceries and that is usually I call in and pick up. Do most my shopping on line. I rely on God so much to walk with me everyday and I can't praise him enough for all he has comfort me, blessed me and protected me. My prayer so much is that everyone finds the love of God and maybe eyes will be open and some of this will stop. It is a beautiful evening so gone to get golf cart out and take the fur babies a ride past my 2 sisters house and wave...the little things that make me happy! Don't over do it , stay cool and have a great weekend!

Just input all my food today....had great weekend! Kept in my calories, did some exercise, and ate healthy. Order some groceries to pick up here in about 1 hour. Got some things to help me while watching the boys. Decided to make sure only make enough food for them no extra because I think sometimes they may still be hungry and want more...usually they are not and I eat it. Got me things I can fix fast after theirs...salad I will make to have ready, couple soups to make to have on hand, and some Sara Lee oven roasted chicken breast make a wrap with and strawberries. So maybe able to stay on it better this week. I know I still have a problem of foodaholic having the boys have help me see it and figure out how to control it. I wanted to be under 300 by July 4th weekend don't think I will make it but will by my end of July! Hope hope that will give me great motivation to move on faster with exercise and eating good! Hope you are doing well and NOT working to hard on the deck...remember we are not young as we use to be and had no problem doing the work...save that energy for the visit to the grandbabies.
