SEPTEMBER 2020 Maintenance Thread
Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2020 8:25 pm
Welcome to the McDougall Maintenance support group! Let’s join together for support and camaraderie while we strive to maintain our successes.
Many of us have lost weight and/or reached other health goals. We’re ready for that next chapter, maintaining the gains we’ve accomplished.
This group will have Friday check ins, where everyone can touch base. Weigh-ins are optional, and will not be tracked. Please feel free to share your non-scale victories (NSV) as well.
In order to foster group participation, we do ask that only participants post, so please do join! You can join at any time simply by hitting the “post reply” button and saying something along the lines of “I’d like to join.” As they say, the more, the merrier.
Hello everyone!
The sun is setting a little earlier everyday, and little hints of the changing of seasons are happening all around. Here we have been raising butterflies. Here in the Midwest, Eastern Black Swallowtail butterflies lay their eggs on dill, parsley and fennel. The caterpillars spend about two weeks munching away before forming a chrysalis, then emerge with beautiful black wings dotted with simmering blue. We’re also caring for Monarchs, which fortunately don’t share our garden, but eat various types of milkweed before pupating. The butterflies that emerge this month will begin a long migration down to Mexico to overwinter in trees.
While I haven’t had time to write, I’m glad to see everyone is conversing in my absence. Hopefully things get a little less busy here in the next couple weeks and I can get back to my online McDougall community.
First check in for this month is Friday, September 4, 2020.
Stay safe, wear a mask, and eat starch,
Lindsey
