Sorry all.......I've been MIA. I've been logging in now and then but not consistently and certainly not making good food choices like I was and I gained a lb this week. I would just not log my weigh in if I had a gain and decided that was not helping me to I logged the gain. I wish it would have said that I had weighed in and had a GAIN of .8 lbs. Oh well......I just did! I've GOT to get back into my mfp routine and checking in and posting with you gals! You keep me honest! I've spent a couple of days changing out from summer to fall merchandise at the hospital gift shop that i volunteer at and I'm SOOOOOO sore! Climbing ladders, reaching, and squatting to display areas etc. Made me realize if I'm going to be able to hike and MOVE in 10 years I'd better get this under crontrol now. I need a serious butt chewing!0

I am checking in regularly here but this is one of the few times I did it in the morning which it is designed for I think.
Dahlia, I only post my low weights on here and only post a gain when I know it isn't going away soon. It is more motivating for me that way. If the gain is taking some time to get rid of then it helps me to record it and see it disapear. My weight varies alot and I would be going up and down so much if I posted every variation. Unfortunately it hasn't been until this year that I had any significant gains. So my system worked well. My work schedule keeps changing and that has finally had an impact on my weight. I think I will soon start a more steady job schedule so once I adjust to it maybe I can figure it all out and make some progress again. I am reading Younger Next Year for Women and it has impressed on me that we actually cannot just slow the decay but turn some of it around. Exercise is one of the biggest things in that. 1 hour 6 days a week and at least 2 of them strength training. Cardio for our hearts.

Thanks for the input Keri. I've been up in weight all week and today is the day I log it so decided I'd punish myself by actually logging in the increase! You are right........the older we get the more you have to take control of it. Otherwise, it gets control over you! I've noticed the last couple weeks it's easy to go back to old ways and I just can't do that. Have to stay on top of it! It's hard work!! lol0

I'm glad I am seeing more and more familiar faces popping up again! Dahlia don't get too down on yourself, you will get into the groove! KeriA, yes I did do 30 mins of spinning and my first day of C25K on the same day. I got thrown into the spinning class but couldn't handle it (my bottom hurt SOOO bad!) and I walked out 1/2 way through. I was so disappointed with myself that I HAD to accomplish SOMETHING so I tried the C25K and I was so glad I did! I was so proud of myself!

jsandie76 - Congratulations on your progress!! 29lbs - FANTASTIC! :flowerforyou: :bigsmile:0 -
Everyone here is doing so great, realizing their ups and downs is half the battle. If you don't track it you think
oh well, next time, then next time comes around and you don't track again, it becomes a vicious cycle
like our weight. Be honest with yourself and be accountable for all you do, it will pay off in the end.
I am on my second week of weight training, I joined a challenge group on MFP and see if I can keep
that schedule on a routine. I have lifted weights in the past but only sometimes, not on a routine
basis, maybe I can see some of the jiggle go away in my arms. :bigsmile:
Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Did not track on Sunday, was at the boat for a sail
and got caught up with social eating again. :ohwell:
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? I would say no, it was a rest day for me no goals were set.
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Went sailing even though I was really tired all day.
No sleep the night before due to a band playing in the neighborhood. :ohwell:
