Hi gals, just wanted to say 'Hi' since I haven't been checking in lately.
I let the busy summer get the best of me, and I've gained weight and am having trouble getting back into a good 'diet' routine. I need to find something to get me motivated again. I just have no desire to track right now or plan, both of which I know I need to do to have success.
Same with me! Keep checking in. My daughter is back to school on Thursday. I hope to get back to my routine too. You've got this!!!0 -

Hello again :-) I haven't checked in in over a week but I haven't given up on my efforts. I have stayed under my caloric limits this entire time. Exercise has been spotty, but not horrible. With my daughter going back to school on Tuesday it gives me time to focus on myself again.

Well I got on the dreaded scale this morning. My Nutritionist recommended that I weigh in only
once week, but I think I will go back to weighing everyday. For me it keeps me accountable,
and I can get a handle on what I am eating and what to cut back on. So I gained 3.4 lbs.
from last week's weigh in. Now I am up 8.2 lbs to get down to my ticker weight. So my
goal is to get down to my ticker weight. I will not change it, it gives me a goal to reach.
I will continue with weights 3 times a week and cardio on the other days, and Sunday as
a rest day. Lets all be honest here, we are in the same boat trying to sail to victory and
the journey is not easy. Good luck my friends:flowerforyou:
Did you stay within your nutritional goals? We had dinner at my daughter's I did not complete
my diary last night. That will also be changing.
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes, did do my weights.
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Still taking care of my daughter's cat while she is
on vacation. He is a little devil with a cute face.
What would I have done differently? Completed my diary
What are today's personal goals? Cardio today- done, drink my water, make good choices
ON GOING GOAL: GET BACK TO MY TICKER WEIGHT

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.

Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? yes except for water

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!
