My husband out of town and I raided the candy jar. The candy wasn't on my plan when I logged first thing in the a.m. but I did end up tracking it. Drank all my water and used the stairs.
You are doing so great - and one day of slip up will not hurt you. And - you logged it. So great job.0 -
On my phone today so not going to quote but all goals met yesterday.
JFT, 10/14
So, prepping for a trip to Tahoe next week. Monday-Sunday. I hear the snow is awesome this year so hoping to get 3-4 days of boarding in. Going with a group and staying in a rental house so downside is lots of food and alcohol. Ack.
Have a great time! That sounds wonderful. You will burn tons of calories snow burning so hopefully extra food and alcohol will balance out

- honestly log what I eat and stay within calories
JFT 1/15
- Don't give in to negative self talk that I am doomed to be overweight for life
- Take a break from walking/ jogging since I have knee pain
- Stay within calories
- Remember what matters to me and stay on that path
I struggle with the negative self talk too! You are beautiful and you can do this, you are worth it. Keep on your path and you will reach your goal eventually. I took a detour the last 6 months from my path and it was not a good one!!!0 -

This must be pretty common because I am my own worst enemy when it comes to self-talk!!! Good reminder to be kinder to myself today. I think it's good we know we do this...it's a start anyway!0 -

Jft Fri 1/15
-wash, dry, fold and put away laundry
-90 oz of water (yesterday not so good)
-lost .8 lbs last week. Be happy with it. I feel better after two weeks. It's a marathon not a sprint.
Didn't do so well with the first two, only 90% complete. My 16 yo son fainted at school and hit his head! Might have a mild concussion. Set me totally off my routine. I could have blown them both off but pushed through to get a bit more done.
Jft 1/16/2016
-go to Costco to buy kale salad and have samples. Yum.
-go to grocery store and buy ingedients for recipes to cook with my sister tomorrow. Chicken, kale, chick pea stew and spiced earl grey tea.
These two are kind if big as my default is to stay home and when I run errands I don't like going by myself.

Thank you!!Have a great time! That sounds wonderful. You will burn tons of calories snow burning so hopefully extra food and alcohol will balance out
Thanks and I sure hope so!
LOL. We moved this past year and my favorite part of moving is that it forces you to clean stuff out. Closets are scary.

JFT, 10/15
1. Stay within calorie limits
2. Walk the dogs
3. Strength workout: Lean Circuit 3
4. No alcohol
JFT, 10/16
1. Stay within maintenance calories
2. Walk the dogs
3. At an all-day conference so pack my food and just eat that!
Weighed in at 135 pounds this morning. So, another 2.6 down since end of December. Probably won't weigh in again until end of February. I'm going to eat at maintenance today and tomorrow. I've been pushing kind of hard and I'm just hungry. Plus, no workout to offset today.
Have a wonderful weekend!!
