    5. Dr. appointment.

    We need to travel for an hour one way to get to Wal-mart and/or Target. I just did not feel like that yesterday but as today is her birthday I will make the trip.

    I hope the Dr. will find answers as to why this leg is hurting so much. :'(

    I hope you all have a great day!!

    1. enjoy eating out, but in moderation. :):) Went out to eat for my birthday at Outback - had chicken and sweet potato, but brought 1/2 of it home. Still ate over my calories, but felt in control! And NO snacking in the evening!
    2. think positive. I am still alive. I have so much to be thankful for. Count my blessings, not my troubles :)

    Just for today, 7/21
    1. drink water!
    2. count my many blessings
    3. Eat to live, not live to eat!! Remember this all day!

    Today I turn 64. My goal was to be at my goal weight for my 64th birthday, but I am still 22 lbs from that.
    But -- I am still here! I can walk 5 miles easily without having to stop. I have outlived 4 of my siblings. So I am very grateful. But God gave me this body to take care of, and I have not. So today is a good day to start getting serious again!

    Well I'm back after a few days AOL from the thread. I have been logging but almost avoiding looking at the calories as it's been pretty bad.
    only thing balancing it (but not completely) is my regular attendance at bootcamp. It's now normal for me to do a double class on Mon and Wed when I'm not with clients, plus a single class on Friday. My Fitness has come a long way since Feb and I will kep pushing it further!!

    Now I just need to eat fewer calories....
  • feistyjojo
    feistyjojo Posts: 303 Member
    Wednesday's goals:
    - Eat under calorie goal
    - push hard at double bootcamp

    Remember I'm choosing this.. no one is making me do it.
    I've lost 21 lbs so far through choice and taking positive action... I CAN get rid of the remaining 12 if I keep this up.

    Smiles and warmth to everyone. :)

    2. swim and/or heavy gardening :neutral:
    3. 10 freggies :(

    Well, yesterday was pretty much an utter failure...I don't have many of those! I fell asleep, missed my swim and didn't walk nearly enough. I also wasn't hungry, so I didn't get nearly enough veggies. At least my weight went in the right direction. I wonder if I am fighting a cold or something--it's really strange for me to be so tired.

    Thursday:
    1. 15,000 steps
    2. Eat enough

    JFT Friday 24/7

    Not to get carried away with the shawarma today since one wrap is rarely enough for me and plan around it so I don't overeat. I may make a light soup and a big salad to have before lunch, this way I won't be able to overeat even if I tried.

    Happy Fantabulous Friday!! B)

    Did not check in yesterday as I was gone more than planned.
    They worked me in to have the MRI. Hopefully, will get results today. Doctor started me on a stronger pain medicine yesterday but so far no noticeably difference. :/

    Wed 7/22/15
    <3 1. I will eat only my planned food - no late night snacking.
    <3 2. Kitchen closes at 9:00 for me.
    >:) 3. Start uncluttering the office
    I did not do #3 as I picked up my book and did not put it down until I finished. Therefore, I really enjoyed the day but did not accomplish anything.

    1. I will eat only my planned food - no late night snacking.
    2. Kitchen closes at 9:00 for me.
    3. Start uncluttering the office, starting with my desk
    4. Pick up 2 Grands today to spend the night. Hubby is going to be very near if I need help.
    5. Will check menu before eating out this evening.

    I will "see" each of you tomorrow!
