2. Attend Patchwork Group this morning
Terri - are you a quilter? Just wondering if this is what your Patchwork group is. I love to quilt and sew. Mostly in the evenings -- now if I can just keep doing this instead of grabbing snacks in between sewing
What a great idea! I feel much of my binge eating or late night snacking is due to boredom sitting in front of the TV, finally " relaxing"... I'm not into quilting but it seems like I need to find something that works for me. Any ideas?0 -
Just for today:
1. Log every bite
2. Stay within calorie goal0 -
Yesterday was a fairly good day; got a 2 mile walk in even though it was hot. Joan6630, I can relate.
It's a holiday weekend which sometimes brings me down. I have tons of time on my hands so I'm going to get busy. Got more than half the laundry done yesterday, logged my food until dinner. We ate out and I didn't get what I planned to order. Not sure how to log that food so I may just get close. I simply forgot to focus on the water drinking yesterday so that will be a goal again today.
Just for today:
(1) Go to church
(2) Log my food
(3) Drink allotted amount of water or more.

I am expressing my gratitude that there are several 2 to 3 mile walking options from my house. Keeps the walks fresh.

I am expressing my gratitude that while my lovely wife is a runner, she'll slow down and walk with me instead, going on a trail walk this morning
I will complete my work out routine mindfully, no TV or music. Focus on the movements. Can do this once a week0 -
Hi Joan, really new to this ap, even though I been trying to focus I know I can try harder. I had hysterectomy April and still have a disability mindset so it knocked my motivation and confidence somewhat. My goals this month are to drink 6+glasses of water
and go to gym3+ times weekly.

You can do this. Had a H 16 years ago and was the best thing for me. Health is so much better.
Am 68 now but feel 10 years younger. Have lost 38.5 lbs which helps a lot. I don't believe the myth that you just gain weight after a H. I gained because I ate and ate and ate. With no exercise.0 -

Not eat sugar
Go to pump class0 -

Its amazing how a simple little email can really change your day. Friday I was so down in the dumps - no reason - just down on myself. I am gained weight, back to old habits of eating for comfort.
Someone on MFP messaged me, wanting to join this group. I informed her it was not a "group", and anyone can join and post. She also was struggling, like I have been lately. But we passed a couple emails back and forth, and while I encouraged her to keep trying, in reality, it helped me.
SO a word to anyone -- when we can lift each others spirits, and encourage each other, I think we help ourselves as much if not more.
So the past 2 days have been good for me. I rode my bike 22 miles on saturday, and yesterday went on a long almost 6 mile hike - yes - and it was in the 90s!!!
But, I am down almost 3 lbs this week, which is so encouraging.
So just for today, Monday, 9/7
1. keep water with me in the evenings to keep from snacking. If I am really hungry, drink a glass of milk.
2. replace one bad habit with a good habit. Bad habit today - eating while sewing. Just for today, no eating in my sewing room
3. My legs are tired yet from the past 2 days of exercising, but I am going to try and get out for a walk tonite - maybe a 30 minute walk.
I hope you all have a wonderful labor day. We can all lose this weight. Think of how great we are going to feel by the end of the year. Long-term goals!0 -

Joan! I am sincerely do glad you are so encouraged...I agree that talking honestly with each other helps us down the road to our goals...and one day at a time is manageable! Just like thinking one meal at a time...yes, there are times when we must plan for the meal ahead aka banquet or the dreaded pot luck...but I a daily basis I just need too plan for this next meal, this day...this next hour even...for me at any rate it's not so daunting...
I finally downloaded a pedometer on my phone that does NOT use data...so am excited to try it. I also contacted a young pregnant friend who also likes to walk...I may be able to keep up with her...and we are walking later this afternoon.
Have a great day all! Chins up...we are going to make it...let's just give each other a hand! Love it...0 -
Opps...didn't add my reply correctly...sorry everyone...it got attached to Joan's quote above...do hopefully you can find it and be encouraged...0
