Was it a good meetup Matt?

It was okay, the venue wasn't that great. Also I was kind of in a bad mood when I got there because the parking is awful over there (It took me 30 minutes to get there and 20 minutes to find a parking space). The view is the best thing the restaurant has going for it.

Are they always different people & you have to start all over each time or do you get to develop friendships within the group?

It's a little of both. You see the same people at various meetups but there are new ones that show up also.

I was hoping my weight would go down more, honestly I'm a little disappointed. I noticed my weight this time last week and the week before have been pretty much the same. I'm going to have to do better this weekend.

Also since the weathers getting nicer and hotter I have to be a little more mindful of when I walk Misty, I don't want her overheating.I had to cut our afternoon walk short because it was too hot. I did some walking at this First Friday event I went to.
 
Wow, I'm totally impressed with your ability to maintain your healthy weight and the amount of walking you do. Congratulations!

We had a thunderstorm which I was actually glad we had because the pollen was really starting to bother me. Unfortunately that meant my dog didn't want to go out at first. I'm also starting to worry because apparently snakes are starting to come out (even though I haven't seen one yet), and my dog liked to sniff around in the wooded areas and grass near my apartment complex. The last thing I need is for either of us to get bit by a snake!!
 
What sort of snakes do you have near you, Matt? Well done on getting that weight moving down again.

Thanks! Well There are 34 species of snakes in VA, but the only poisonous snake here is the Copperhead. I actually saw one last night, luckily it was dead.

Kind of a rough day. Had kind of a crap day at work, plus I found out some paintings I submitted to a gallery were rejected. At least I did good food wise, even though the calories were a bit high I did not eat any junk today.
 
There is, but not in Tasmania. Australia has about 170 species of land snakes, but only 3 are in Tasmania: Tiger, Lowland Copperhead and White-lipped. All three Tasmanian species are capable of injecting venom, although the venom of the White-lipped snake has never been recorded as causing death to a human.

Sorry about the paintings being rejected, Matt. Are you going to submit them elsewhere? Well done on a day without junk food & that weight coming down, down...
 
I like the way you list the amounts and types of food you have - and it looks like you have some reliable choices that would be healthy and simple enough for anyone to follow. Wishing you success in avoiding snakes, selling your artwork, and continuing your healthy lifestyle.

I did better than previously, though there were some things I could have avoided. The weight reading may not be that accurate because I slept until noon haha.

Cool I'll check it out! If you want to learn more about reptiles in VA here's a cool site: http://www.virginiaherpetologicalsociety.com/
As for the paintings I plan on submitting them to another gallery, also technically I can exhibit a painting at that one since I got a membership and each member is can exhibit a painting.
