Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

Wednesday Wish ... That if you haven't seen the 2012 movie "Thanks for Sharing", that you get a chance to see it.
Starts Mark Ruffalo, Tim Robbins, Josh Gad, Gwyneth Paltrow, Pink, and many more ... 1 hr 55 min, available on Pay TV like YouTube TV for about $3.00, or on Amazon Prime ... watched it today and it reminded me of how all of us, who have something we struggle with, have to struggle with it every day even when we are doing great ... and how much sharing ourselves with others in similar circumstances helps us as we help one anther.

@kbeyer23 - I’m sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my prayers.
@NewCaddy - Love your wish and the would be awesome if worked that way. I understand the fitness thing does your health insurance give you access to Rally for health? great motivator to dobthings and you earn points for drawings.

Wednesday wish is that I wish more people noticed my accomplishment in weight vs me having to tell people.

Wednesday Wish:
I wish I could add more greens to smoothies without gagging. I've tried various powders, kale, spinach etc. I can have a few spinach leaves, but not many, or i just dont get much down.

What else are you putting in the smoothie? Some things mask the flavor of greens better than other stuff. I can add 1 ounce of baby spinach to mine (ab 1 very tightly packed cup) ... I always use banana and peanut butter when I do though.

ladylaura777

I have never tried banana or peanut butter. I have some of that powdered pb. I will try it. I usually have different powders or Greek yogurt, blueberries or other frozen fruit sometimes. Lots of ice too.

I didn't do well eating wise this week at all. I shot up to 259.8 after last week's weigh-in and it's still not all gone. Not sure why I keep sabotaging myself. It's mentally draining to keep failing myself.

This week's goal is to stay within my calorie goal every.single.day. I will do this by filling in my protein first, lots of veggies second, some fat and then fruit, starches and make room for ONE treat at the END of the day, not many throughout.

PS .. A little uptick on the scale this week, my eating has been under maintenance, but more than what I ate the last 2 weeks. My 'usual' pattern is up and down (I was 224.5 two days ago), so as long as the scale doesn't go up again on my Saturday weigh-in I'll feel like I am still on track.

NewCaddy

Didn't get on the scale this morning. My husband came home from his night shift and asked if I was going to work today...10 minutes AFTER I was supposed to leave the house! Needless to say, nothing that wasn't absolutely necessary got done this morning. But I did manage to pack a quick lunch as I headed out the door. So I'll hop on the scale tomorrow and report then.

Hope everyone has a great Friday (I already want a drink after work - hee hee).

NewCaddy

@ladylaura777 ... Experiment some more. I use frozen fruit in mine. I've tried lots of different combinations. Peach is a pretty powerful flavor (although it's not a personal favorite, but it might mask the "green")

I didn't let last saturday's mess get the best of me and stuck with my plans. I did miss the gym yesterday due to a doc appointment and other errands, so I'm going today.

Mar 09: 271.0 I will be out of town for the next two weeks, but I will eat to plan. I won’t have access to a scale at a predictable time or date, but I am still working my plan and in on this challenge.
Mar 16: 267.0 I am using a borrowed scale and I don’t completely trust it.
Mar 23:268.0 Still out of town, and spending a lot of time in a hospital. Food and water have been issues, as well as the borrowed scale which reads a different number every time I step on it.
