1. Walk the dogs
2. Day 42 of Body Beast: REST
3. Go to my sister's for nephew's graduation (I would like to petition all my friends and family for one year of NO graduations!!! I seriously know far too many people.)
4. My food goal today is just to do the best I can; I'd like my daily average deficit for the week to be 250 but it may end up being a maintenance week
Yowza, did I blow it. Mostly on alcohol, of course.
5. Go for a walk if I get home early enough and see if I can reach >10k steps
Missed yesterday. Was supposed to start week 7 of Body Beast but I've got some kind of back injury/strain going on and think I'm going to have to take a few days off and get that back in order before continuing. So disappointing but I don't want to make it worse.

1) Pack nutritious food for work as well as a contribution to Memorial Day picnic at work.
2) Allow plenty of time for work so I don't have to rush.
3) Eat my food instead of food brought in for Memorial Day picnic.
4) Log every bite.
5) Walk after work. I walked plenty at work.
I did not pack nutritious food for work but we were so busy I didn't even notice until 5 pm that I hadn't eaten a thing. So I carefully picked out some items from the Memorial Day spread that fit into my plan (with the exception of one bite of macaroni salad that didn't even taste good.) Way under calories for the day but didn't pig out all day as I was afraid I would. I did have protein shakes at work but did not drink them. Usually they are my safety net.
JFT Tue 31 May 2016
1) Jazzercise
2) Log every bite
3) Drink 64 oz water
4) Make kale chips for me and chicken jerky for the dogs

Are you sure that you chocolate milk has caffeine? That would be unusual...
@azulvioleta6 8 oz chocolate milk has 2-7 mg caffeine, a very small amount by most standards, for sure, but for those of us that are ultra-sensitive to caffeine, even that little bit can make a difference, believe it or not!

OK guys -- can I vent a little!! I am so upset. Today I made up my mind to get serious about losing weight. My SIL had a ruptured artery below her eye, and found out she has high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc. She also has been trying to lose weight the past 3 years, but this was a wake-up call for her.
So after hearing this last nite, I really am going to be serious. Here where I need to vent though.
It has been a very stressful past few years for me, as our daughter has severe mental illness. So I walk -- and walk. Not only in hopes to stay in shape, but for therapy also. I usually walk between 3 to 5 miles, at least 5 x a week.
Today I tell my husband that we both need to be serious about our weight (he is also 30 lbs overweight). Then he tells me that as "heavy" as I am, I should not be doing as much walking as I am, because I will need a knee replacement!! I am so upset -- now I'm going out for a 7 mile walk!!!

@azulvioleta6 - I thought chocolate had caffeine! I am adding 150 cal a day, thinking I was getting my caffeine. Gee, then I am doing better than I thought with eliminating caffeine - and can stop drinking the chocolate milk!1
-
@joan6630 I am absolutely not being snarky, but does your husband have some kind of expertise about knee arthritis? Because I have a theory. If he does not actually know from a professional standpoint what he is talking about, then his motivation is suspect. I have been on the receiving end of comments of that nature and through therapy learned that when the other person says things like that, it can be a way of diverting attention away from themselves or a way of expressing anger in an indirect way that may have nothing to do with what they are actually angry about. For example, if he is mad at you for suggesting that he needs to lose weight and exercise, he might say something designed to punish you or designed to make you mad so you quit focusing on him. (And it worked, didn't it?) He is probably not doing it consciously (passive aggressive) or he might be very aware that he is pushing your buttons. Anyway, I am probably preaching to the choir here, but I am glad you are going to keep walking. Leave him in the dust, girl, he'll come running sooner or later!
There is only a tiny bit of caffeine in chocolate milk.Karen in Virginia 1 -
