Ruff - Nice progress! How fun that your husband is shifting closer to a MWL way of eating, Katie! I imagine that could make adherence feel easier for both of you. I love your idea for a new tea ritual! Great work thinking through that problem and arriving at an excellent solution.
Mono-salads to the rescue! Carry on!

Dining out while travelling can definitely present a challenge, Christine; of course, it is also a great learning opportunity. Nearly everything gets easier with time, effort and experience. Have a great week!
Gimmelean - A really solid week and down 2.2 lbs!
I'm glad the challenge I presented to start the month has been helpful for you; I really do believe that planning for success is fundamental to actually succeeding, and if we don't TRY to do hard things, how can we know just what we are capable of achieving?

You, too!
carwex - I'm so sorry you've been dealing with digestive issues and vertigo, Carol. That does not sound like fun at all! Thank you so much for sharing the observations and perspective on your experiences with medical professionals during this phase of your life. I'm sure others will find some common ground with that. Glad to hear you are feeling better. Take care and be well!
Zoey - 10 THUMBS-UP and down .4 lbs! That excellent week demonstrates that you have a lot to feel proud about! Speaking as someone who has been "alcohol free" for years, it does get much easier, but being "sober-shamed" always stinks. I'm not sure why people (as you note, sometimes people you wouldn't expect) have a tendency to do this, but I'm so impressed with your response:
Anyway, it saddened me, but then strengthened me, so I'll use it as a gift.
Good for you! Onward!
CindyD - Hang in there! Were the flour products and hummus a result of a social event, an unexpected challenge, or some other obstacle? Visiting a new trainer does sound very exciting, and making the most of this lifestyle seems like an admirable motivation. Enjoy that, focus on the fundamental principles of MWL, and things will be headed in the right direction.
texaslil - Aw, sorry your dog has a sore leg, Laila! I hope he gets to feeling better.
Looks like a pretty decent week; if you were facing a repeat of that family get together, is there anything you might do differently next time? Have a good week!
Noella - Huzzah! Down a pound and on track!
I'm so pleased to hear your knees have made some improvement; as someone who also experiences ongoing pain, I'm quite sympathetic to your desire for continued progress. It can be a long journey, but noticeable (even if imperfect) gains in our quality of life is surely worth it, right? You'll get there.
