I’ve been going over my calories by a lot the last few days, but I’m making myself log my food anyway. It’s a real eye opener. Usually if I eat off plan, I just don’t log it. I’m forcing myself to log it no matter what. I tell you, homemade Lynchburg Lemonade is delicious! But lemonade is so high in calories! I drank a lot of my calories this past week. I need to pump the breaks on that! Yesterday it was Moscow mules with cucumber mint vodka. So refreshing! My husband was off for three days and it was perfect fall weather outside so we sat outside and grilled and drank some cocktails and was entertained by our little backyard farm. We have two chickens, two ducks and a beagle mix. One of my favorite pastimes is sitting in the backyard with my family, watching our foul little friends waddle and strut around. 😊. Speaking of waddling and strutting- I’m going to force myself to dust off my elliptical machine and rowing machine. Shame on me for not using them in a long time! I need to move my rump!

Cucumber peppermint vodka you say? 😲🤤 I feel your pain, I have my machines put up. I will bring them out later when it's colder. 😄

Oh my goodness that description of you and your husband sitting by your little farm with all the animals sounds like heaven in the making. Good for you for realizing that you want to get up and do some exercise using the machines since you have them, why not use them. Meanwhile enjoy that family of yours.

I find logging all my food to be really helpful. It was very eye opening when I realized how many calories I was drinking from Mountain Dew, alcohol, and orange juice!

Logging it all, the good, the bad and the ugly really helps me face reality. Liquid calories add up quickly don't they? You know what you want Butterfly, now you need to decide if you want it badly enough. Good luck! 🌈

Thank you Puffy, I’m flattered, but I’m very happily married.

Thank you Shir, for your encouraging words! Yes, logging it is so helpful!

Yes SDC, it is crazy how easy it is to consume so many calories from liquid! Logging is so helpful!

Marylin, it actually was Cucumber Lime Vodka, not mint. I don’t know why I typed it as mint, however, that sounds good as well. We have a mint plant, so I’m always thinking of ways to use it, lol!

I drink Milo's lemonade it's like 110 calories a cup but it's so good I'm searching for a better lemonade with less calories usually I just put a cup of lemonade to about 3 cups of water either plain or sparkling it's still good no matter which way
