    I am finding that not eating between meals is hard for me, since I am a well known snacker.
    This is something that my Nutritionist wanted me to try. Some days are okay and some
    like today are hard. I had a bike today and when I got back I had a Fiber One bar.
    But, I felt like I needed it. I guess its all in the discipline which I am learning.


    Did you stay within your nutritional goal? Yes
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Stayed on track, not eating between meals.

    What is today's personal goals? Keep on track, drink water, exercise

    I wouldn't be able to do that! I usually at least have some celery or cucumber slices to satisfy my afternoon munchies!

    Well, today I weighed myself in, and I have gained 1.3lbs this week. :-( It could be because I am on my "cycle" /shrug According to my Aria scale I have gained 6 pounds of "lean mass" and lost 5 lbs of fat this week, but I don't know how much to believe the scale about that stuff. I have only been working with weights a few days now, so 6lbs of muscle gain seems a bit high. I guess we will have to see next week, right? I was just soooo looking forward to breaking the 250 mark and being able to tell people that I lost 15 pounds this last month. I have always said that the numbers didn't matter and that I was more concerned with being fit and able to do stuff (which I knew would need muscles) but seeing that number go up today was harder than I expected..

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Went to gym. Did 20mins of cardio, a weight machine circuit, and a 30 min "body flow" class (combination of Yoga, Pilates and Tae chi) and worked out in my yard
    What would I have done different? Ate better (even though I stayed within "limits" my choices could have been better)
    What is today's personal goals? Eat reasonably, Go to the gym, work in back yard

    GW at the end of the Summer 9/22: I want to be at 245 lbs.

    Thurs - 10 mins on bike, 10 mins on treadmill, 20ish min strength training, yard work
    Wed - 20 mins on bike, 15 mins on treadmill, 30ish mins strength training machines
    Tues - 10 mins on bike, 10 mins on treadmill, 20 (I think) reverse type crunches
    Mon - Lots of "activity" (gardening, housework ect) but no real exercise
    Sun- Shopping again (Fitbit - 8,173 Steps for the day)
    Sat - 8 hrs shopping (Fitbit - 5,680 Steps for the day)
    Fri - checkout out a gym and did a lot of walking around during the intro

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Mostly yes. Didn't do the yard work. I had a mental break down when I lost my engagement / wedding ring at the gym and by the time I got a call to say someone found it (a few hours later) I was completely wiped out.
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Went to gym. Did 25mins of cardio, a weight machine circuit... felt sore afterwards which I think is a good sign that muscles are being worked :)
    What would I have done different? Didn't freak out so much when I lost my ring.... then I would have been up to doing other stuff after it was found /shrug

    Hey all! We are settled in and got my laptop connected. On the side trips, I've been able to jump into the diary a few times with my phone app but now I can get into the message boards. I'll be back with daily check in starting tomorrow! I don't have scales but have been pretty good when eating fast food and traveling. We did a LOT of hiking and walking while in Oregon so that's good. Will do lots of that here in Idaho, also, plus I'll be eating in a lot and there is no fast food here in Ketchum so will have good food choices! Take care and hope all of you are doing well with yor weight loss goals.
