Vic’s Weight Loss

I don't like swimming in waters I can't see the bottom of either, especially when I know they could contain large fish (even when they aren't sharks). I know it's silly but my imagination just goes crazy when I try.
 
When I did swim in the ocean I used to be petrified of the unknown & when jellyfish or seaweed touched me I would be out so fast! I hate jellyfish. They still make me shudder.

No, Rob, I don’t swim at these New England beaches. I can’t see the bottom. And I’m scared of sharks so I don’t go far. But back home (St Croix) I do swim.

I would prefer St Croix for the warm, but I imagine there are more sharks in St Croix. You know Cows Kill More People Than Sharks the world is full of danger, LOL.

Growing up in Louisiana all water is muddy, you can never see the bottom. In Florida it was a mix, but the closest water to my home was not clear. So I got used to muddy water and muddy bottom, no fish problems yet.

Especially true here in Austria, where we don't have sea access but we do have lots of trails running through fields with cows in them. It's usually tourists and/or people who bring their dogs when they aren't allowed but I give cows as wide a berth as I can regardless.

Where I went to college the water was also always muddy. I swam quite a bit but I was never not terrified, even though no large fish occur anywhere close. I did like the small snakes and occasional kingfisher I'd come across if I went out early.
 
Thanks, guys.

Missed my walk with my sisters this morning. Just couldn’t get up. But when I eventually did I walked on the treadmill. Did a 45 min apple fitness workout. Actually ran at the end. And actually wanted to quit in the middle because I was struggling. It’s been awhile since I did anything so long. Plan on going again later today. Plus I might take a walk around my neighborhood.

Today starts a heat wave that will last through Thursday. So my ac is on. I’ll drink more water.

Skipped lunch. My bro is making bbq boneless skinless chicken thighs. I’ll have it with a salad.

Did another 45 min treadmill workout in the afternoon.

Went to a magic show with the kids. Went to Applebees after. I had a grilled chicken breast with broccoli. Both did have a huge blue Bahama mama.

Sisters want to walk in the morning. I’ll try to get up on time.

Not weighing in today.

Did not sleep last night. Had to go pick up my bro in the middle of the night.

Did a 45 min treadmill AF wo. About to go for a walk with my sisters. Well sisters did not make it. So I did the castle trail in 35 min. I came home and walked another hour watching tv. In the afternoon I walked for 50 min watching DOOL and YT. In the evening I did a 45 min walking treadmill AF video.

Will drink a lot of water today. Heat wave.

Breakfast was Greek yogurt and coffee with almond milk and Splenda. Ate at 1030 am after I shower. Just got my period. Hate it! Luckily it’s only till Sat. And not as bad as I used to have it. Not heavy or painful anymore.

Lunch was at 215 pm and was salad with chicken. Got it from Wendy’s. I will not use the dressing it comes with. Not the package of honey roasted pecans. Not the apples either. Will have lettuce cranberries and crumbled blue cheese. With my sg poppyseed dressing. Ate the other half at 4 pm cuz I was hungry. If I’m hungry tonight I’ll have tuna with a salad of lettuce and cucumber. Gna have tuna with lettuce and cucumbers at 8 pm. I still can’t sleep. 1030 pm had a black bean veggie burger. And a low carb tortilla with ham and 45 cal cheese.

I’m so glad that I have summer to myself. No kids to babysit!!! More time to workout!!!

Yeah, bro is fine. Just a panic attack. Took some meds and he’s alright now.

I’ll try to take a nap around noon or so. But I’m fine and don’t feel tired rn.
 
Thanks, Llama and Cate.

Wasn’t able to take a nap. I hope I can fall asleep tonite. My body I know is tired. And I want to recover before my next workout.

Tomorrow I’m going to hibachi in the evening for ‘sis’ A birthday. I think I might just get a pork wonton soup. And a diet soda.
 
Thanks, guys ! Yes, I slept great last night. Hopefully will țonight.

Well weight is up!!!

Today I did basically nothing other than take my bro to the dispensary.

Food was leftovers from the hibachi.
 
What goes up must come down. Fluctuations are normal, especially when you generally don't eat much and then suddenly go out to eat something high in volume and salt.
 
Thank you, Llama.

150.8 lb!

A bday celebration today

Today we went to get our nails done. Then my sisters, A and Al went to all you can eat brunch.

I had a mimosa at the salon then one more at brunch. Brunch I had a blackened salmon taco, a piri piri wing, a juevos rancheros with a tortilla, short ribs, and a poached egg. And a slice of French toast with syrup.

Now about to have lobster, garlic bread, and pasta by my sis I. Also had piece of cake.

NEway today we r on our way to visit my niece who has a 4 month old baby. Ate a double. And a piece of cassava pon. Got some roti and curry goat for dinner.

Took the kids to walk in Boston Commons. Was nice. Went on the swan boat.

I actually walked for an hour on my treadmill watching 90 day fiancé. Feeling good.

Been getting to sleep around midnight. Better than before. But I do sleep good. Tomorrow I’ll get up at 7 am. I have an appt at 10 and want to do a workout in the morn.

I wish I had gone to Boston on one of my visits to the US. Our older son loved it & I think I would too.
