Good Morning!
7.7K + steps today. I walked three times yesterday.
Read an article that explained why my weight might be stalled. I've been consuming too many keto sweeteners. In my flavored water, my coffee, my morning meal bar. I need to cut back on those, so I guess it's no sugar in my coffee (just the creamer) and trying to limit the packets I put in water.
My schedule is all sorts of messed up, but then it's Tuesday. Tuesday's are for messed up scheduley days. I'll be at the lake this weekend with friends, so I'm feeling a little stressed about getting some work done before that. I will accomplish it.
Started crocheting a market bag last night. Found it in a digital magazine that I got a free trial for. Pretty sure it was from the Crochet! Magazine.
Dream
Do not recall as much of my dream, but... In the dream I was finishing my daily walk and noticed my neighbor had a bunch of stuff they were sorting through. There were a few items I asked about, all the same size and shape. The neighbor said it was to suck water out of the lawn during rainy season.
She commented that they didn't need them anymore because it hadn't rained so hard in years.
Weird dream, huh?
How's your Tuesday?

I didn't know that they had lawn sucky things. lololol I think Crochet Magazine would be a good one for you. You will find SO MANY projects to do. Losing weight is a pain in the butt. I hope they come out with a magic cure some day. That was a lot of steps. Good job!

I didn't think they had such a thing, but maybe I'm wrong. I guess if they don't, my dream invented them. 
I manged 14,000+ yesterday. Today the muse is taking a backseat. I am going to write as much as I can, but then let it go.

@LindaOHio Right! it would be nice if I could remember enough to get it down on paper. I'm sure the tropical countries already have something to help them though.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Good girl. As far as the lawn sucky things go, your brain invented them. :-)

I hope you can lose the weight you want as fast as possible 
I understand your struggle because I gain weight very easily so small things that I did in my routine that are helping me are drink small coffee without sugar. At first it was hard for me because I always drank it with sugar but with time it stopped to bother me. Besides that I always jump rope everyday unless I'm feeling sick or if I have to go somewhere in the afternoon but usually everyday I jump rope. I do 300 jumps usually but sometimes more than that. I saw on internet that jumping rope helps a lot in losing weight. It's been helpful for me. If you want to give it a try along with your walks maybe it will help you lose weight faster.

I've considered jumping rope in the past. I'm very clumsy though, so haven't tried it.
I need to add less creamer in my coffee as well. I like my coffee to be very milky.

Sounds like it, it is highly usual to hit a plateau on a weight loss problem, you usually have to mess around until you start losing again. Maybe you could try drinking more water as well. That is usually a good adjunct to a weight loss program.

@ScribbledAdNauseum It is not easy I tell you. I struggle with it everyday. I am doing good today so far..but it is around 2PM I start messing up.
I need to fast at least 24 hrs..I have been trying for over a month now and have failed every single day.

I wish I knew. Yesterday I did notice my neighbor sorting through items. she laid a bedsheet down and took things out of her car. Maybe this is why I dreamed of her sorting through items.

It's going to be white. I might make a red one after I complete this one, I haven't decided yet.

@Tina30219 I can't wait to post about it here. It has a design I've never done before.

Yes, I like it a lot. I'll probably end up keeping both subscriptions to be honest.
