Wow 19 people in our group. Sounds like a big group this month. Lets go ladies. Summer should an easier time to eat healthy. There are so many yummy fresh veggies and fruits available. We had fresh fish last night. My boys caught them yesterday and we ate them.MMMM! Love fish. We don't eat a lot as we are about 1000 miles from an ocean and it is expensive here. I missed my spinning class yesterday because I had company all day. Had a delicious lunch (not healthy) and a good visit. I made a salted caramel white chocolate cheesecake. OMG to die for. I had a small piece and got rid of the leftovers. Back on track today. I still need to figure it out but I am pretty sure I used up all of my extra weight watcher points for the whole week yesterday.
It looks like rain here today. I am taking my mom out to lunch for her birthday today. SHe will be 86. We are going to Panera. One tip from WW always try to plan what you will order in a restaurant before you get there so you don't overindulge. Everyone have a good week.

There are some good choices at Panera. They have the calorie count right up there on the menu board. I used to get a half sandwich/half salad; now I get soup and salad. Try to remember to ask for an apple as your side.
Some good tips there, Kathleen.
Food has been tough on me with my kids home. They will be gone on the 20th. Hopefully my hubby will get a job soon and I can get back to my normal routine.

Kathleen, thanks for the great info again this week! It seems like things we all do know but don't put into practice nearly as much as we should. Like drinking water...I have to get better at that, esp since I live in Fl now.

19 in the group is awesome! That may be our biggest group ever.

Wow Irish, great loss for the month. Everyone keep up the good work. I have been commissioned to make a baby quilt. We agreed on a price, so I had better get my butt moving on it. The baby is almost one. She also is about 3 weeks pregnant with her second and she will want a quilt for that one too. She is hoping for a girl this time. SHe wants to wait until she knows the sex to order that one.
I just had an avocado egg for breakfast. Something I found on Pintrest. You take an avocado half and scoop a little bit out to make a well for an egg. Put it in a dish with a little bit of space for overflow and spray the dish with Pam. Sprinkle to top with some cooked bacon or whatever you want and bake it for 15 to 20 minutes at 400 until the egg is done to your liking. Very yummy and healthy breakfast. I also had some melon and raspberries from the garden.

My FQ will be arriving Late. I will send Septembers too, so I am not behind for that one. I am taking a class tomorrow night at the quilt shop and will pick them up then. They will be posted first thing Friday morning.

I was doing fairly well until last night. Last night a bag of potato chips landed in my shopping cart. But the last week of the month we will be camping and that means lots of walking, swimming etc.

The tough days will be the days we go to the fair. I will try to pack healthy snacks.

Oops! I totally forgot to get my FQ in the mail. Heading out in a few min to go the the fair with 2 daughters and grand daughter. This is tough, I don't think they have much of anything "good" to eat there. And this is my once a year to have a little funnel cake. I will try to be good.
Hopefully I will remember to get my FQ's in the mail tomorrow. Sorry
Hope everyone has a blessed day!

I like the chicken noodle soup at Panera and if memory serves it is not too bad as far as calories and fat.

Mailed my FQ on Tuesday. Went to the fair last night with daughter and family. Shared elephant ear and rootbeer float and still lost when I got on scale this morning.

The mailman brought me a present yesterday. The batiks are so pretty. I have tons of batiks upstairs and I don't think any of them are duplicates of what I have. I can't wait to make something with them. I was thinking of making the Josephs Coat that is on here. It was a pattern I was looking at when the tutorial appeared one day. I have a baby quilt to make first as she is paying me well for it. I should go pretty fast. I took my machine in for service today. It needs cleaning and I need a new foot control. Sometimes when I stop sewing the machine keeps going. The machine should be ready on Saturday. The foot control will hopefully be in next week. I had to go to the LQS that I don't like for the service. She is a Janome dealer and is very good. Just don't like the place. My DIL asked my DS to get her a yoga bag while he is here they are too expensive in Japan. I found some good fabric in my stash and need to make the yoga by Tuesday. I do have my old machine to sew on, I just don't like it as well. My DS leaves on Tuesday. He did request we go to Arbys on Tuesday.

I was up 1 lb. on Monday, but back down .6 today. I've got to get this under control. I have a family reunion coming up this Saturday. I'll be okay if I stay away from the dessert table. That's my weakness. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
