Woohoo down to a new low since the start. 56% of my 8 pound goal. I'll re-check on 31st to see final though. I might not make it but I'm soooo happy to be down and next month I could say bye bye to the 300s. I'd love to lose 50-75 lbs before we go to Florida for WDW, Universal and stuff. Right now the dates aren't even really a thought because even though I have some in savings I may need some of it for car repairs/new used car. And we just don't know when my dad will have the time off. We may end up going in Spring. Mostly worried about Universal and not being able to enjoy the coasters. Disney I'm sure I could ride mostly everything and definitely everything I'd want to ride. My gym has a location near my dad's house so I'll have that option on non park days. I think they earliest we'd be able to go is late October. My brother would want to go for Oktoberfest. Excited at ideas but not sure when it will happen. I somewhat want to go Late May into early June right after school's out next year so we can enjoy a couple waterparks too. But I typically prefer doing theme parks in Sept-Oct.
It was Mission Beach in San Diego. It's about 5 1/2-6 hours from our house.
Hope it gets running a bit very shortly. I've had mine do that but hopefully now that I've been consistent a month I'll keep going when motivation wanes because I have the gym buddy and the habit built up.
Hope tomorrows opportunity shows something good for you. I was shocked by mine this morning. I'm feeling slightly bloated even and was still down. Thankfully I was worried since I'm nearing my time of month.
Probably lots of swimming at local pools maybe will venture to the waterparks. I'm hoping to make it to California again. Even if I can't afford DL I still want to go to the beach maybe check out the Hollywood sign and other stuff I'd never done. Just anxious even thinking of driving LA traffic though. YIKES. I'll be working on keeping active in addition to my 5-6 nights at the gym. Trying to work in cleaner whole produce because that is what I tend to eat more raw cool stuff in the super HOT summers we have here. Can you tell summer is my least favorite as well. Fall is my favorite so I'll be in survival mode trying to make it to Fall. HEHE
Gorgeous photo of your daughter - we too wished we could live in some of those beach houses. And I laughed when I saw your picture of the birds - it brought back memories of seeing them on our beach walk on our trip there - we saw that at Hermosa Beach - which beach were you at? Also on the bird topic we couldn't get over how big the seagulls were! We have seagulls here at home but nowhere near as big lol.
Even if she hits that phase I'm sure that she will gravitate back to having fun with mum. Our trip to DL brought my DS back to me and we was 13 at the time of the trip - he had already been going through that phase of walking several steps behind me at the shops and looking mortified at school if I dared looked like I was going to kiss him goodbye - but then on our trip I got hugs in line, walking along with me with an arm draped on my shoulder, a random kiss on the cheek all in public but granted far from home. But it carried over when we got home and he's back to walking WITH me and kissed me goodbye in front of the office at High School this morning after a late drop off (but there were kids around) - he's 15 now.

my motivation is running little low. things are really slow this month
Pjlla I love my fitbit too. I like numbers so I keep track on Fitbit Calories burned - MFP and weight loss and I find it takes 9500 calorie (results from last 5 weeks) deficit to loose 1 kg. The theory is you need 7700 so I have a feeling fitbit overestimate burn little
but I still find it great tool and plan to continue using one even after I reach my goal
Happy Friday All

Good morning and HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need a weekend.... and it's a LONG weekend! WOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!
And good news.... my FITBIT appears to have survived! Gotta rock the steps today to make up for yesterday (even though I did walk a lot, it doesn't "count" if the FB doesn't track it, right??).
Going to give the scale another opportunity tomorrow morning before I declare an official number (and before I throw the scale out the window and go buy a new one ).
Need to dash in one minute in order to drop DS off (or have him drop me) and for us both to be on time! I was nearly late yesterday and it isn't a relaxing way to start the day!
No hanging out laundry this morning because they are predicting off/on thundershowers today.... frustrating since I don't want to use the dryer.
Anyhooooo.... running now, but I'll be back later to chat! ..............P

The month of unending rain is over and it seems to be SUMMER!!!! My least favorite season but one I'm pretending to accept with JOY!! Instead of SADNESS and DISGUST at the realization that walking a mile in my work clothes has left me a disheveled mess. At least the pool will be open tomorrow!!!
What fun things do you have planned for summer???
