Yes, great point about the target. Takes away the fretting over "going over."

Also takes away the urge to go under. Or at least reduces it. Also helpful was recognizing that for ever 5-10% of bodyweight lost, you'll usually plateau for a few weeks. I figured out those milestones ahead of time and prevented a lot of freaking.

I have lost about ten pounds in the 7 months since Casper stopped working at the French bakery and bringing extra things home.

Yep, that tracks.
At the concert now... hasn't started yet... the weather is freaking perfect. So lucky. In July! In this area!

Our wings are not tired.
My sister has plateaued after we started going to the gym. She only eats one meal a day and I theorize that she isn't eating enough with the added activity. She's lost about 50 pounds since the beginning of the year doing this. When I don't eat enough I stop losing.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I text banked today. 800 texts to PA about voter registration, but clearly from Dems. I think I can do it every weekend.
The group is Field Team 6 if anyone is interested.

Sigh. It is the middle of the night and I have been wide awake for over an hour. I read for a while, then noticed I had a text about fraud. Which I wasn’t sure if it in itself was fraud? So I logged into my credit card and didn’t see anything like what the text said but did see some random charge for $1 from a place I don’t recognize and Google didn’t help so now I have a new card coming in 5 days? Ugh (and I’m going on a trip in six days, so probably not before I leave?). Ugh. So now I gotta update my card with various places that were on autopay..

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Probably best to update the card every once in a while. I've yet to have fraud on a card, but I'm probably just tempting fate by saying that.
One of the advantages of having been with the same small credit union for like, 30 years (gasp!), is that when I get texts saying that my Bank of America account has been compromised, I can just say "Not today, Satan!"

I’ve had fraud on a card, and it started with some little charges. So a new card seems like a good idea.
I went to an outdoor theater production of Midsummer Night’s Dream with smonster and a couple of mutual friends last night. It’s great to have smonster as a local again! The play was ok—great setting visually, but poor acoustics. Puck was good, tho.

Love reading that!
Beck was great, except as we were walking out, we realized the acoustics were better literally everywhere than where we were sitting. Good to know for next time.
Today is Deadpool & Wolverine! My husband doesn't want to see it, which has me questioning my choice in mate, but whatever.
