Hello all, I didn't track yesterday yet...it was awful...I just kept eating and eating...I really have a problem, I know what it is and I need to fix it...I did get a bike ride in. LOL
@trooworld YEA, released for Jury duty. I hope it sounds good to DH too...so sorry about the dog and her infection, She has such a good mommy!!
@gemwolf110 Just keep moving forward..one step at a time..
@theslightedgeforever I was just sitting here thinking how did my baby sister get so strong/determined and holds to her line. LOL Well I guess you practiced on Dad..
. Well glad you have a "super" dutch oven. Our new thing here in our world is what's called " The superhero family". (Incredibles). LOL We get to watch that EVERY day...

@trooworld, That is good news about the MRI results and hopefully the meds they put on will help. How have your migraines been lately? Sorry for the gain you had this week. It’s so easy to do and I feel your frustrations because they are my own. I read the articles on exercise that you posted and thought they were good. I know for me, exercise has to become a habit or it will easily take a backseat in my life. Which is a shame because I get so many benefits from it. Bummer about Daisy’s stitches getting infected! I think Tuscan garlic chicken sounds wonderful!
Renaegry Yes, doing the workouts on the TV is much better than a phone. I go through Roku on my TV. Wow, two 21 Day Fixes is a lot. That Autumn is tough!
@cbabie I am sorry that you are struggling with your eating. Definitely, you are pushing down some emotions with food. Riding the bike is a great way to relieve some stress. I am super sick of this cold weather too. I just want it to be warm again!
@theslightedgeforever I tried them 21 Day Fix containers for less than a week. I just can’t get into that amount of discipline.
HaHa on your husband and thinking he is living in a 4-star hotel. Good training on your part!
@Gemwolf110 those are good goals and hitting the reset button is a very good idea. I think I need to do that myself since January went all sideways on me.
Hello! Today was a long one because of my staff meeting and then I decided to stay and clean both buildings. Hubby has a bunch of errands to do tomorrow, and he hasn’t driven since his surgery. I don’t know why except that he still feels weak and doesn’t trust himself. So, we are going out and might do lunch as well. I’ve been craving some Panera Bread broccoli cheddar soup! Tonight is ladies Bible study and I’m actually preprepared to lead this week’s topic, which is prayer. I do like me some prayer and have been utilizing it quite a bit lately. Fingers are crossed that I don’t have a gain tomorrow. Like I said above, I think I need a whole new reset as we go into a new month.

@cbabie What's your first step to fixing your problem? Yay for the bike ride! Yeah, I'm glad I was released. Luckily, my husband ate dinner without changing it! Well, he did a little more on that later.
@TeresaW1020 I haven't had one in a while but I haven't exercised either. Yeah that makes sense about exercise becoming a habit. Daisy is doing a little better, thanks. The Tuscan garlic chicken was excellent!
I hope your hubby can get back to driving confidently. That's good you are prepared for bible study. Hang in there!
Hi all. Well, my hubby said he wanted some lower-carb pasta with dinner and so I said, "Go ahead and make you some, I don't want any"! So he did and I ate my meal as I wanted it and he ate his meal as he wanted it. This is the first week in a long time that I am tracking and not in the red this early in the week, my week resets on Weds. I drank enough water yesterday and stayed out of the snacks. Not that we have any but still, I could have gone to the store and got some. But something needs to change, that should have been my phrase for the year!
My phrase for the year: "I take no crap and eat no crap."0 -
Morning all, I didn't track again yesterday. I did go on a bike ride, and a long walk...What is my plan...sew my mouth shut.
@TeresaW1020 I bet you are having fun leading a Bible Study...I say that because I would and we are twins..LOL. I pray you DH gets back his strength quickly.!!
@trooworld I laughed at your comment about change should have been...Then I stopped laughing. I remember my word one year was change and in one day my whole life as I knew it changed. Change in itself is great, but when you are not the one controlling the change..LOL. So glad you had what you wanted and your DH got to eat what he wanted...my DH would just eat whatever I fix as long as he could just fill his plate and eat..LOL

@gemwolf110 Your goals sound good. Now how are you going to turn them into action steps? So be specific. When are you going to exercise? How many f&v are you aiming for every day? How much time extra do you want to spend with your furbabies?
@trooworld I'm inventive because I don't like to cook and plan recipes etc. So I say what leftovers do I have and what can I add to make something new. lol Yaaay on making a healthy choice. Remember dh is free to make his own choices. so are you. You do not have to eat what he eats. Now if you are trying to get out of cooking, that's a different problem to work on. When you were a child, what kind of movement did you find fun? Exercise sounds like "no fun". Good article on exercise Yaaaay on sticking to your plan and letting him do what he wanted to do.
@cbabie I didn't always hold my line. Always trying to be the good wife, good daughter, good mother, good friend, good (fill in the blank). But what about me. I needed to be good to myself. So that meant saying no to them and yes to me. I don't want to be our parents. They'll pout and they'll get over it. If not, too bad. So you know how to fix the problem, get started. Of course easier said than done. What's the smallest thing you could do today to work on the problem. I'd be reading or doing something else while everyone watches the incredibles. lol I've learned the art of getting all my computer stuff done and tasks that I can do while sitting in a chair while I sit with my mil every night while she watches TV. In my trusty Trello board, they are labled PINK. So seriously, answer Troo's question. What is your first step? What's going to happen if you continue down the path you are currently on? Big ships or airplanes don't just change 180 degrees and head the opposite direction. Small adjustments in their navigation system. What is your adjustment going to be today?
@teresaw1020 I don't use the 21 Day Fix containers as they are meant to be used as a "system". Although I used to do that only checking off boxes. It was called The Setpoint Diet back in the day. lol
I just use them as measuring cups for my food. Nuts, blueberries, etc. I'm with you on the warm. My fingers are like ice right now. I'm wearing a wrap. I've had a problem with January myself. Not with food and exercise but my other goals in life. I'm thinking because I haven't made the other goals habits yet. I haven't set up my environment to make me successful on the other ones. I had company for a week and have spent the past 2 weeks "recovering". So that's 3 weeks I haven't been doing what I want to be doing. 75% of January. So I need to figure out something different. I read a good quote today. "It's more important to develop the restart muscle than to hold to an unrealistic perfection model"
I think my mil is having more swallowing problems. She's choked twice today. Last one scared me. So I'll keep a watch and then mention it to the doc next time we go.
I went over my carbs on Wednesday but stayed within my cals. I went to a friend's house. Yesterday was better.

@trooworld That is great that you didn’t give in to the pasta and still your hubby got to have what he wanted. I do that a lot here at home. I will often give DH bread, pasta, or other foods that I simply don’t eat. Mom doesn’t like mashed cauliflower so I bought those single-serve mashed potatoes. There is always a way for us to stay on plan. No reason you can’t change or add to your 2022 phrase. “Something needs to change…so I will take no crap and eat no crap!” How’s that?
@cbabie Good for going on the bike ride. Why didn’t you track? Do you just hate it as I do? I do know I do better if I try to track as much as I can first thing in the morning and then adjust it as I go through the day.
@theslightedgeforever Yeah, I use the containers as measuring cups too. They are very good for portion control on things like nuts, which I could easily eat way more than I should. Ohhhh I love that quote!!
And I am hitting the restart muscle again this month with every intention of making it a better month than January has been.
Hello! Today has been a good day but man ohhh man is it getting cold and windy here. We don’t see temperatures this very often and I don’t like it! Hubby and I went out today so we can stay in tomorrow when it will be the coldest. We had to go downtown to the courthouse so I could turn in my application to become a notary. We also stopped in at our jewelry store so I could get my anniversary ring sized down. Then we went to McAllister’s Deli for a nice lunch date. Hubby felt great and ate all his lunch and dinner. I have been very concerned with his weight loss and working on feeding him more protein and healthy fats. I sure wish I could just give him some of my fat.

I need to write everything down in a visible place. I want to workout minimum of 3 days a week for an hour each. And at least a serving of both f&v a day. I’m thinking I may need to cut back on my weekend hours at my weekend job. Dogs really need a full day of freedom a week. Would like to eventually take them hiking with me.
That’s scary and concerning about your mils swallow issues hopefully it’s nothing serious.0 -

It’s freezing here and we are having a blizzard. Definitely stay safe, home and warm.
Lol 😂 yup if only we can transfer some fat. My mom would like to have some of mine and I wouldn’t mind giving. She recently was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and lost weight and she didn’t have much weight to lose to start. She’s been working with her doctors to get things where they need to be.

@cbabie LOL...I think I need your plan. You are right about change. Change is scary and sometimes not good when you aren't controlling it. I wish my DH was more like your DH! LOL
@theslightedgeforever Well, you do that very well (the inventiveness). When I was a child, I liked rollerskating and walking through the woods on adventures with my friends. That's about it. I do enjoy lifting weights, it makes me feel tough lol. Oh gosh, I hope your MIL is okay, that sounds scary. Good job staying within your cals! What was higher in carbs that you ate?
@TeresaW1020 It sounds like you've got it worked out, how to feed people with different food choices. I like what you did with my phrase, I'm stealing it! LOL How cold is it there? What a great NSV, getting your anniversary ring sized down! Woo hoo! Sorry, that's not the way it works (transferring fat) lol.
@gemwolf110 Looks like the dogs are in their element! Yay for snow days!
Hi all. On Thursday, I wasn't feeling well, I was a bit dizzy so my hubby suggested I take my blood pressure which is something I never do. It's always been low to normal. Well, on Thursday, it was 163/90! I took it yesterday morning and it was a little better 143/88. I just took it and it was 106/78, so normal. We had Chinese food on Weds night, so maybe it was just the salt from that. I'm glad it's down because I plan on working out this morning sometime. I wasn't going to work out if it was still really high. I will keep an eye on it.

Morning all, I didn't track again yesterday..This is our birthday week...we have 2 we celebrate a week apart..more cake...I cried myself to sleep...from no sleep, to junk food, to frustration...that was my day. Today I got up and asked, why do I let others dictate my health...So that is where I start. I did ride the bike 2 times yesterday...just was a blah day. I feel so dry and dehydrated today. I really just don't drink enough, even though water is all I drink. Even my skin is so dry....Love winter. NOT. I have one daughter that is always hot and said why don't you sell your house and move up north...I said why I hate the snow and cold...LOL. She thinks it's a great idea...NOT
@trooworld Maybe you could take walks, but do power walks..I used to and still do when I remember to see how fast I can walk...(even through my house) LOL. Saw you changed your phrase..LOL. see we do encourage each other.
@gemwolf110 It's beautiful....but that's why you live there...I would never survive. I am sitting here at my desk with an blanket over my legs, socks 2 shirts, leggings...and I am INSIDE..lol
@TeresaW1020 So glad you had a good time with DH. I see that you are rolling with life and doing a great job of it.
@theslightedgeforever Yes I need to be doing stuff while they are all doing whatever it is they like to do...I can't believe I am still adjusting to not having any goals other than to get up, go to bed, take care of baby girl..figure out what is for dinner. (which I hate). So time to look to see what there is that I can "busy" my mind with.

@gemwolf110 I am so sorry that your mom was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes! That is a tough one and I hope her doctors are able to help with the right dosage of insulin that she will need. Try to encourage her to eat a lot of protein and veggies for good nutrients. Wow, that is a lot of snow!! It sure is pretty but I don’t envy you one little bit. Stay warm!
@trooworld Right now it’s 4 pm and we are at the high for the day at 38 degrees. It will be 26 when I get up tomorrow to go to church! Not as bad as gemwolf but I’m in the South!!
Mom isn’t even going to church because the cold hurts her knees so much and the sanctuary will be cold with the doors opening and closing as people come in. My ring that is getting sized should have happened when I got the new set. It's size 8 with a metal sizer that I hate. It's my 6th month wedding anniversary diamond band that I wear with the new set, so it will look much better being the same size as the new ones. Yes, of course, steel the phrase! It’s suits you very well.
@cbabie My skin gets super dry in the winter too. I use a lotion by Remedy that works wonders and smells just like an orange creamsicle. I’m always sniffing my hands after I use it. It does help to drink extra water and do you take fish oil? That really helps my dryness. And yeah, you gotta stop letting others dictate your health goals. That seems to be a theme with some of us right now and I say let’s stand up to others, and ourselves and take back control over what we will or will not eat! Ha, I sound like Slightedge now!!
Hello! Other than opening the back door to let the dog in or out, I haven’t ventured outside at all today. I have already planned my artic attire for church tomorrow, which will include double socks and my heaviest coat with a scarf. My eating has been great today and I’ve decided to join my Beachbody coach and a bunch of other people on our FB group in starting Liift4 on Monday. I just haven’t loved this program I’ve been doing so why keep doing it? Plus, I think the added accountability will be really good for me. I only lost half a pound this month. Pretty stinking lame!!
This month is going to be a whole lot better. I found this graphic and made it my screensaver.

@cbabie I'm sorry dear cbabie. It sounds like you are so frustrated. I don't drink enough liquids either, it's something I am working on. I wouldn't want to move up north either. That's ironic you mention walks, I decided to go for a walk yesterday! Yes, we do encourage each other.
@TeresaW1020 Wow, that's cold! I didn't realize it got so cold in the South. Well it sounds like it was definitely time to get that ring sized. I wouldn't go outside either if it was that cold lol. I agree, if you aren't loving the program, do something else! I like the graphic.
Hi all. I decided to go to the coffee shop as a reward for a walk yesterday afternoon. I parked about 10-12 minutes away from it and walked with my Kindle in hand. It was enjoyable, I had my headphones in and walked. And then I got to sit and drink coffee and read. My blood pressure is high again this morning. I don't know if it is because I didn't drink hardly any water yesterday or what. Something to keep an eye on. I'm meeting my friend at the coffee shop today. I'm bringing Daisy so I probably won't park as far as I did yesterday as Daisy isn't really much of a walker. I made some good shrimp tacos yesterday. Instead of using oil in the sauce, I used yogurt-based ranch dressing: https://pinchofyum.com/spicy-shrimp-tacos-with-garlic-cilantro-lime-slaw

Good morning all. I was going to do a Tonal workout this morning but by the time I finish drinking my coffee and drinking enough water, I won't have time. I'm going to do an experiment: I am going to try to work out later today after I get home from work. We'll see how that goes.
My phrase for the year: "Something needs to change…so I will take no crap and eat no crap!"1 -
Morning all, well I gained 2.6 lbs this past week...I was just on a roll...so it's time to stop that roll and roll downhill. Went on a hike yesterday, it was good. I haven't done that in years. Also went on a walk around my neighborhood...I learned, I burn more calories walking that riding a bike...but the bike is good for the thighs..LOL
@trooworld It's good to experiment...I am going to track my water on here each day...I am challenging you to track your water intake..we need to be drinking more..
@TeresaW1020 Yea I feel like I should put double clothes on here too...You sound excited about your group. I have a friend who is a beach body coach and she invited me to join her group for goals all year.. I know I should do that, but when I got the email I was in depression mode..I will think about it.
Cbabie0 -
@teresaw1020 Isn't that great that you need to size down your ring? I love your graphic. 1/2 lb is still a loss but I know you can do better this next month.
@gemwolf110 Which one of your goals will start working on this week and schedule it? I like looking at snow in pics. That's it. lol Same for rain.
@trooworld The other day when I went to my friend's house I had a piece of chocolate cake and then later with hubby I ate a piece of blueberry cake I made. He was having some with coffee. It looked good. One would have sufficed. Could you still rollerskate? That sounds like fun exercise. Did you do the tonal in the afternoon?
@cbabie Are you riding really slowly? I think bike burns more calories over walking. Oh yeah, I forgot you have a family member who was born on same day as my son. Tell her late happy bday. So there will always be obstacles in our way so we just have to move around them. Pick a goal and get started on it.
I lost 0.8 lbs this week.

@cbabie Draw your line in the sand. What is the next healthy thing you are going to do for yourself? That's great you did all that exercise! I love to hike. I should do it more than I do. You are right about the water. I accept your challenge! Where's your water log?
@theslightedgeforever Next time remember your thoughts on two desserts. No, I couldn't rollerskate still, I'd break something lol. But I can walk in the woods aka hike. I did a yoga Tonal workout. My husband said I need to start small and make it a habit so I did that. It was a 35-minute yoga workout. Congrats on the loss!
Hi all. I did a yoga workout on the Tonal. It was guided by an instructor. I couldn't do all the moves but I modified things so that I could do them and I used these foam yoga blocks to help do some things. Dinner was delicious last night: wild rice soup with added chicken and homemade focaccia.

@trooworld I agree with your hubby on the start small make it a habit concept. Your dinner sounds really good. Woohoo on the workout. Just think one day if you keep doing this workout no modifications will be needed. Funny when I think start small I think 15 min. You went for it!

Afternoon all, late start. I tracked yesterday...but whoah.. don't eat at salad and go and expect low fat...I had the winter seasonal harvest.. 17 fat grams for the salad and I think it was 15 for the dressing...I saw 420 calories on the menu and said that is good...Next time eat half...went for 2 walks yesterday
@trooworld yea for small starts. I did drink yesterday, 32 oz...today is not starting so well. but will track.
@theslightedgeforever I ride and my thighs hurt...I traded up to a bigger bike and they don't hurt as much..I go about 10mph...

Hi all. Been popping in and out of this thread but haven't posted in a while. Is anyone here still doing WW?
I had a friends birthday then another two days on top of that unplanned eating so the scale didn't like that but a nice big drop this morning was great to see after drinking 3 litres of water yesterday! My husband brought a slow cooker last month. I've used it twice so far because we had hello fresh and gousto for 3 weeks but now I have cancelled that but its inspired me to cook more. Need to look into some good slow cooker recipes too. Hope everyone is well ❤️1 -

Hi! My friend and her husband just started back up with WW. They seem to like the new plan. I’m contemplating trying it. But not 100% sure yet. I had HelloFresh, I liked it definitely inspires one to cook. If it wasn’t expensive I’d have kept it.0 -
@theslightedgeforever Yeah sometimes he says smart things. Dinner was good. I did go for it lol. Great job yesterday!
@cbabie Yeah they load up those salads with the good stuffs but those add up lol. 32 oz is better than I got, see below. I hope you were able to fit some liquids in.
@gemwolf110 It's really cool but really expensive: www.tonal.com has videos and all sorts of information. I like the new WW program.
@roz0810 Hi! I am still doing WW. Are you? Here are some of my favorite slow cooker recipes:
Slow Cooker Vegetarian Lentil Chili https://www.budgetbytes.com/slow-cooker-vegetarian-lentil-chili/
Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/recipe/slow-cooker-salsa-verde-chicken/
Slow Cooker Creamy Gnocchi Sausage Kale Soup https://cafedelites.com/slow-cooker-creamy-gnocchi-sausage-kale-soup/
Instant Pot Minestrone Soup (has slow cooker instructions, too) https://pinchofyum.com/instant-pot-minestrone-soup
BBQ Ranch Chicken Quinoa Bowls https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/bbq-ranch-chicken-quinoa-bowls/
Hi all. Blood pressure is still on the high side. Maybe drinking more liquids would help? I got really upset at work about something, that didn't help.
Hopefully today will be a better day. We are going to pick up food for dinner tonight and my husband asked if we could get a Little Caesar's pizza. I asked if we could get something healthier so we are going to go to El Pollo Loco. I can get several things but I plan on getting the Double Avocado Salad with Chicken and skipping the dressing, I'll add my own at home.

@gemwolf110 I've just started with WW again. Going to give it a proper go this time. I loved hello fresh but too expensive yes. I'm just focusing on tracking everything, drinking lots of water and exercising on my fitxr game 🙂 Will weigh in daily for a while to keep an eye on things again.
@trooworld heyy there, yes I've started with WW again. Last time I didn't really track properly and gave up so hopefully this time I can stick to it!
Nice to see u still here. I'll try post more too.1 -
Morning all, I haven't done so well with my eating..but I did track bad and good food..LOL. I went on another bike ride and walk yesterday. Trying to get my movement in. Baby girl choked on a piece of apple..had to go in and swipe...it scared her, she may never eat another apple again.. I am so ready for spring...
@gemwolf110 I need to eat more fruits and veggies..maybe I can add one a day too!
@trooworld Yea on making good suggestions to DH..Great job! Baby Girl would give you a thumbs up...Literally! LOL High Blood pressure is not something to mess with...I have usually very low BP, so when I had that episode last year about this time..I watched it to..I am sure mine was stress. Yea on trying to track your water..thanks for posting the recipes.
@roz0810 Consistency is the key. You can do this! I would have found that tracking makes me accountable. LOL. Good to see you posting.

Hey ladies! I know that I haven't posted in a while so please forgive this quick post. I did read all your posts! DH and I went to see his new oncologist this morning. We like him and he doesn't mince words at all. DH needs chemo to make sure that he will have a longer survival rate. So on Feb. 17th, he will have his first round of chemo and if his body can handle it he will have three more rounds every three weeks. I am just praying that the side effects will be manageable or I don't think Joe will stick it out and I don't think I would blame him. I am doing my best to stick to my eating plan and not give into junk. I know that kind of soothing won't really do me any favors. Talk to all soon! 1

@roz0810 I have the same problem! Yeah you gotta follow the program for it to work lol. You've got this!
@cbabie Tracking is important. It gives you a road map as to what's going on. I remember choking on a piece of fish when I was a kid. I didn't eat fish for a long time after that. I hope Baby Girl eats apples quicker. Awww, I'd take that thumbs up! Yeah, I don't know how long to wait before talking to my doctor...I was hoping to get it lowered a little bit with weight loss and avoid going on meds? 23 oz...good job getting that in but I know you can do better lol.
@TeresaW1020 Oh dear, I hope Joe can handle the chemo. I wouldn't blame you for giving in to the junk but remember in the long run it will only frustrate you. Hugs to you, dear friend.
Hello all. I had a better day yesterday (mentally). I stuck to my guns and ordered the double avocado chicken salad from El Pollo Loco. It was okay but I think I'd rather have had the chicken bowl that my husband had. Next time, I'll explore the menu more. Tonight we are having chili. It's cold today so the chili will be good.
Water yesterday: 40 oz
My phrase for the year: "Something needs to change…so I will take no crap and eat no crap!"1
