- stay within calorie limit. It's a rest day from exercise so I need to just eat when I'm definitely hungry and I should make it.
Hmmmm... only just. I ate chocolate this morning meaning I had virtually nothing to eat for lunch to compensate, plus a very light dinner. Really want the comfort of eating more. The consequence of the choice I made I guess. That'll teach me!0 -
Friday's goals:
- work ultra hard at bootcamp
- eat minimal calories back, saving them for some wine in the evening on a night out
- notice how well I've done all week and keep the docs for the weekend0 -
@azulvioleta6, I gotta ask, what is your profile picture!? For the longest time, I thought it was you holding a sleeping baby. Then yesterday you said you're not a mom. I thought, it could still be a niece, nephew or friend...but for some reason, I really can't see it.
Nobody can figure it out! It is the back of my head, with blond bun and two red silk flowers. You can see the back of my neck and my arms were in the air. I was dressed up for Flamenco dancing. I often have to take a picture of the back of my head to see if my bun is fixed correctly.

1. Continue tracking while eating at someone else's house...as well as possible!
2. 15,000 steps 20,366

I lost another pound, so I guess that I did alright with guestimating over the last couple of days.

1. Back home--do some shopping and food prep.
2. 15,000 steps.
3. Super-intense Zumba.

1) Tried to do my 60 minutes at 4.0, which I had been doing 15 minutes around 3.5-3.6 and then 40 minutes at 4.3, then cool down, but my hip started killing me and then I had to drop down to 3.5 and finish my time. I'm going to lay off the treadmill for 3 days then hope that Monday it is better.
2) Stay at or below 1200
3) Keep a positive attitude, that my hip is going to feel better
4) Drink at least 6-8 glasses of water
Also, lost 3 lbs this week!!! Yea me.
Everyone have a great day and keep putting in those goals!

1. Take at least one long walk outside. The snow will not stop me. Plus another indoor walk too
2. Log everything I eat I'm pretty sure I added everything
3. Think of at least 10 things I am grateful for.
I'm a little frustrated this morning. The scale went UP even though I am doing much better recently. Now I know my body often goes up a little and then releases the weight, so I should not worry, and my clothes say I am doing the right thing, but I can't help feeling frustrated by that stupid number on the scale.
So. Just for today I will
1. Not let that number be an excuse for quitting. I need to keep eating right and exercising if I want to get healthier.
2. Take a walk.
3. Log everything I eat.
It's time for me to stop pouting and get started on my day. Have a Great Friday Everyone!

Just for Today 2/26
1. log log log
2. take care of me, listen to what my body is saying
3. if I can't exercise, continue to plan my routine and watch videos to learn:(
It is amazing how quickly we slide into bad habits. Especially when we feel crappy. I know that all my grazing yesterday was looking for comfort. And frankly, the only comfort is to get rid of this sinus pressure. It's not enough to lay me out for the day, but it's enough to make me uncomfortable all day.
Just for Today 2/27
1. log
2. question what i need before eating

Congrats feistyjojo!! That is a huge weight loss keep up the hard work
Good job on reaching your daily goal grandmajackie Very impressive!0 -
Yesterday, 2/26
1. Drink 2 glasses water with each meal, and at nite time and afternoon, to total 10 glasses of water.
2. 30 minutes on ellipitical. And it was 23 degrees in our patio room! But the view was pretty, and not that bad
3. Log every bite that I eat Both happy and sad faces here.
While I did good with all my goals, I did TERRIBLE with my eating. We have our 37 yr old mentally ill daughter living with us, and last nite was bad. She was in the bathroom, door locked, screaming and pulling out her hair. When we finally got her to open the door, there was literally a trash can full of hair that she had ripped out of her head. She is attempting to work again, and the stress just makes things worse. I hurt so badly for her. She wants so much to get her life back, to be back working again. But everytime she tries, things get worse. I just wish I could trade places with her, or do something. So - what do I do, but eat. Over 2300 calories for the day - 1400 of those calories were in a matter of a few hours (ice cream snickers bars). I should know better than to even buy these things, but I bought them when my willpower was high, and I thought I could resist better.
I get so upset with myself when I do this. I know food is not going to fix things. I know food is not the answer. But this is how I cope. So I have to really learn better ways to cope, other than grabbing the first sweet thing I can.
But, on the plus side, at least I did log everything.
so today is another new day.
Just for today, FRIDAY, 2/27
1. Log everything I eat - no matter what.
2. Stay positive. Things could always be worse. Be grateful for all that I have in my life.
