Hi everyone, hope everyone is having a great day. Started out the day with a Boot Camp Water Aerobics Class today, Whew! Whooped my behind! Was on track with eating the right things, then DH comes home with HUGE cinnamon rolls. Sometimes he just doesn't get it. I think he intentionally tries to sabotage my weight loss efforts. Grrrr!0

We are referring to a strategy from the book One One One by Rania Batayneh. Google to get the info.0 -

Good morning everyone , I haven't checked in for a couple of days been to busy painting and decorating the lounge, the job is nearly finished now and it's looking good.
I've had a nice health breakfast of cinnamon wholemeal pancakes with apple, banana and a drizzle of maple syrup, very satisfying. Going out on a nice long run as soon as my breakfast has gone down. Latter my daughter is coming over for dinner, she's also on a healthy eating plan so that makes things easier on the cooking front.
Hope you all have a great Sunday

Good morning everyone! It's a bit chilly here today but the sun is shining, so I am going to get the kids all wrapped up warm and take them for a walk to the park shortly. I am loving my fitbit, it's making me want to get up and move! Hopefully I'll get a few steps in walking to the park and back. Yesterday we did'nt go anywhere so I did'nt meet my step goal. Hopefully I will today though!0

I just saw this post -- January is over but I'm in -- just started seriously to loose -- not sure if I can do 20 in two months -- but am willing to do my best -- Any chance you could share the diet you are using -- thanks0

Good morning, losers! Happy Sunday!
I'm just peeking in before heading to church. Looks like everyone is doing well and feeling good about staying on track. There is no hurry because it is not a race. This is a lifestyle...one day at a time.
Have a great Sunday!
Stay strong!

Your so right Connie, any changes we make to our diet has to be sustainable and long term or it just won't work.

Just checking in and hope everyone is having a great Sunday. Back from church and trying to decide what I will have for lunch.
I am so happy that I was able to stay on track this week. Will weigh on Tuesday and truly hope I will see a loss since I have been able
to get in more exercise this past week.

3lbs is a great weight loss jen and the inch loss is fantastic, well done.
Well it's 7pm here in the UK and I've eaten all my calorie allowance and feel pleasantly full but still I'm having to fight against the munchies, why oh why do I want to continue to eat even though I'm not hungry, if I didn't have to fight these urges every evening losing weight would be relatively easy.

Linda... Keep your mug, glass, whatever full of liquid. Do something to occupy yourself. Go for a walk, browse the Internet(shopping can be very therapeutic), read the success stories on here, plan your meals for tomorrow, or sometimes, if all else fails, I just go to bed!!0 -
Thanks Connie, I'll take your advice about the full glass and I'm keeping myself busy reading the forums. I find it easier in the summer when I can go out walking in the evenings but it will be another 6 weeks yet before the evenings are light enough to go out. My favourite program of the week is on the TV soon so that will keep me occupied for on hour and then it will be time for bed.

Marie, Good to hear Alice can fix your computer. It must be frustrating, but you will be back up and running soon. Your have a great daughter to help you.
Abakan - I agree with Connie, keep your thermos full of water with a lemon in it. You have a pleasant tasting drink and it will keep your insides clean. Sometimes we are hungry because we have not drank enough throughout the day. Sometimes we are bored then we start looking for food or snacks. Maybe this will help.
Today I finally got downhill skiing. Last year I never got out due to the awful winter we had.
We had tons of snow and sometimes were not able to get to the resort. Anyway, no excuses this year and it felt great to get out. After my DH retires this year we can start going during the week.
next winter. Its a nice calorie burn.

Shirley thrill to hear you got to go skiing it must be lots of fun. But admit Skiing is not for me.

Staying on track today! Went to a dance class today, danced my behind off. Well the weigh in will tell that. LOL.
Hope everyone is staying on track also.
DH apologized for bringing home Cinnamon Rolls the other day. Said he just didn't think about it. He knows that I have NO will power when it comes to sweets. He said he would not do it again, and wants me to succeed.
Valerie0 -
Valerie glad to hear there may not ever be anymore cinnamon rolls in you house. You have you a good support there.
Its still warm outside but crazy windy .But think I will grab a walk in.

I'm new and need to loose 20lbs.0

Thanks Marie you are right, he is a good guy. I've had him around for 35 years, I think I'll keep him. No guarantees that he will not bring home cinnamon rolls, he just won't offer me one. LOL.0
-
My food diary is open if anyone wants to see what I'm eating. It took awhile but now my hubby knows not to offer me any food, not even a bite of something.
