Morning all,
@theslightedgeforever I am up for the challenge of more water, thanks !
@trooworld I hope you start resting at night, I find that when my mind won't shut off, I wake up really tired. YOu should see my face now..it looks awful. I have not been sleeping well for a few days..I wake up from 1:00AM on until I finally say...just get up and be done with it.
I went to my Go Red meeting last night. For those of you not familiar with this...it's the American Heart Association for women. I couldn't decide if I wanted to be an ambassador as I am not really good with fundraising, setting up booths, etc. However, I will use the platform God has given me. I cried during the meeting again as they talked about what happens with a stroke and what you should do...All I could see was my dad laying on that floor for all those hours...I can't change that and yes I do have regrets, but I can go on to help others, so they won't live with that in their mind. Do you know that Sunday is WORLD Stroke Day... and did you know that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in the U.S.?
okay, I hope you all have a great day and lets make this a get with our game day!!!

trooworld I hope you have some cool weather soon. Also be careful of your blood pressure numbers. I don't think my dad had cholesterol problems but he had a stroke. Of course his BP was always super high. Good for you for not stopping at fast food restaurant. Healthy choices.
cbabie I knew that heart disease kills more women than cancer. I think Feb is go red month and in one of my groups we used to do something about the heart every Feb. You can't change the past. Move forward and help yourself and others. I forgot that I mentioned the water challenge.

Wow, I haven't been on here..I am so sorry. My DH was home and my schedule was squashed...LOL
@trooworld Happy dance for you!!! Great job on the loss. I love your DH likes to cook. My DH is good on the grill, but not on the stove.
I am trying to get my act together...some days are okay but not good and some are just borderline bad. I have been on an emotional roller coaster ride this week, but there is healing in those emotions. I have really for some reason missed my dad this week. I have had heartburn bad...that's my eating habits I am sure. I used to have heartburn all the time, but once I got the weight off, it went away..So what does that tell you? Okay what does it tell ME!!
Okay, I hope to be back tomorrow and check in. I need the accountability.

Hi all!
Super congrats on the loss @trooworld ! That's really awesome!
And @cbabie , I'm glad you're supporting GoRed. Heart disease claimed nearly everyone in my family. Losing weight to try to break the legacy.
Now that I'm home, I stepped on the scale... 126.4. That's up 3.4 lb from when I left but the damage could have been way worse... I'm getting myself back on track, realizing that weight loss is a never ending journey not a destination.
Hope all of you have a great week!0 -
trooworld Yaaay on your loss. Just keep working and you will be at your first goal soon.
cbabie I had same problem as you Dh was home. Took two vacation days. that totally messes with my schedule. Heartburn is no fun.
achagpar You are eight weight loss is never ending. I'm sure most of that is just water weight from your trip.
I just watched the twins video I always watch each week. One of them just made goal at WW. Good for her.She lost almost 84 lbs.

Afternoon, I didn't do well at all, I have no gained 1 lb.. UGH.....I feel terrible, but I am going to keep trying. I just ate some spaghetti and garlic bread. I really never eat with the family, and decided it's Sunday I should. So I did. I am going to have to track it and I know the carbs are not the best for me, but it's life.
@achagpar You will get that 3.4 off in no time as trooworld said, I am sure it's mostly water. That always happen to me when we used to not be at home.
@trooworld Well you know that I am happy that you enjoyed your family. I feel if I have time to enjoy my family it's a good day!!!
@theslightedgeforever what do you do for your heartburn?
Cbabie0 -
Hi All, I just want to check in quickly. I have several things I have to do this morning. I will hopefully get back here later today, but not sure.
I just feel that water bloat today and want to stay home and not go anywhere, but can't do that. LOL You know those stretch pants that with a long shirt cover a multitude of sinful eating? I need to invest in those.
Luckily my DH ate all the candy corn/pumpkins so I don't have to have that temptation around. I have another bag, but it will not be opened...it is hid.
As I look at myself in the mirror today..I say, my hair looks unhealthy, my nails, my skin...what happened to me? Well life and stress and decisiveness. So time to take time for my health. You know that what we eat, what we put on our bodies, has far reaching effects.
@gemwolf110 Yes essential oils are the best. I am a distributor for Young Living. However, I never got where I want to be. (again those life decisions) my daughter is so knowledgeable and everything is DYI. From cleaner to deodorants, lotions, etc. It's amazing to me that we eat healthy, but put chemicals in or on our bodies. It's always such a good feeling to deep clean. I have been trying since I was let go to get that back. I am having a garage sale this Sat to get rid of a garage full..LOL (some from my Dad's house)
@trooworld Great job on the meal prep....I am not doing well there. It seems until I figure out a job, we are eating..cheap. So yea for you!!!
Okay, I will try to check in later.

gemwolf Good to hear from you. Exercise is something I need to work on too.

Morning all!
I am totally at a loss these days. I have not been in this type of health funk except I remembered today that in the 80's I was so addicted to diet pills and couldn't seem to be happy with my weight that I almost killed myself. I was lethargic, had trouble breathing, etc...was taken to the Dr and he told me to get off the pills, as they really were literally killing me. They have since banned those off the market. LOL So I was trying to remember when I was happy with my health and was eating properly. That was about 4 years ago. Life was so much different. HOWEVER, I am taking 1 day at a time and each day I make new and different choices. So I chose today to get on here with my friends.
@trooworld I am sure you did great. It was in the forefront of your thoughts, so you should be good. I love the "future self" ....there is my new goal...to be my future self. LOL
@theslightedgeforever no heartburn yesterday and so far none today...this is a good sign.

Hi all,
Well I didn't track yesterday at all go figure. However I didn't bonge eat so that was a good thing. Today starts a new month I've learned some things since being let go.. so I'm going to believe November is going to be my month to come back..
@trooworld I love your costume that is great. I have a niece that works at a library in Illinois and she had a creative costume, but she's like my mother she got my mother's gene... in regards to your food I say you realized...you forgot your rule .lol... its history you're going forward and you'll do great. I'm glad your eating healthy making good choices you have created a good habit.. I'm also really glad that we met on this board you have been such an encouragement I totally appreciate you and your consistency.
Cbabie0 -
trooworld Loved your costume. Think of all the good habits you have been making. Keep those up and turn them into a longer streak.
cbabie I loved the way Dexatrim made me feel. I loved the buzz. Now I use tea lol I was doing really well for almost 3 months and then now can't find my mojo. So I'm going back to baby steps. Creating habits. I just downloaded an app called HabitBull. I put in 4.
I'm going to have surgery on my nose Skin cancer. Its not melanoma but imagine if I had received the news that it was breast cancer. If I don't change my habits then it could be one day. Scary.

Morning all,
I actually tracked all of my intake yesterday and exercised. I am more important than the things I have let stress me out to the point of taking my health and putting it below those things...I feel like the Pillsbury dough boy. I look like him too..maybe a little darker..not much though. I have made me a check list in my paper calendar..vitamins, exercise, track..all the necessities of life. LOL
@trooworld my neice went as Harry Potter, she loves those books..she is an avid reader. (Makes her aunt happy). I don’t know that I like all the books she reads. I say be careful what you put in your brain...it stays there. (Garbage in garbage out). However, I am glad people still read actual books..(not kindles) sorry slight edge..LOL. There is just something about the smell of a book. YUM...
@theslightedgeforever sorry about the gain, you will get your motivation back..you just have a lot on you right now. But don’t give up, don’t make wrong choices consistanatly..just know. This is a season and it will pass. You have to help the good choices outweigh the bad ones. 2 good for 1 bad is still moving forward.
I just heard a saying on the radio today, that really got me to thinking..they were saying what is it that your mom always said to you..Like mine would say to me..Never is an awful long time..don’t say never.
So here is the saying of the day!
The road is long without a turn, but the turn will come!!
Cbabie0 -
Well I got into the Halloween candy went over my calories but I tracked so that was a good thing.. I also exercised I also studied my school, chicken for dinner tonight...
@trooworld LOL I own a Kindle too..its an older one... I have so many books it's scary actually. Some were my dads...I have some dated back to the 1800's.my Dad loved old books... we're a family of readers except for some of the grandchildren. It's a Lost Art sometimes I'm glad you tracked your chili and your candy great job!

Morning,
I have a Mary Kay meeting I have to go to for most of the day. I have never met these people, it’s a new group. I am looking forward to meeting new people and bringing new things into my life. I did terrible yesterday, but funny, my DH made a comment and it took me back years ago, so maybe his comment is what I needed, even though is comment was not nice.:(.
I hope you all have a great Saturday
Cbabie0 -
trooworld In this cooler weather I just want to sit outside do nothing but read. My daughter loves Harry Potter too. I use a Kindle for same reason you do besides all the free books I read.
cbabie Good for you for tracking and exercising. It's fun to meet new people.

trooworld I know this is a silly question but why are you bringing food that you don't like? If you have 2-3 savory breakfasts that you like then go with those.

trooworld Are you using someone else's mealplans like a fixed one? Then figure out 5 that you really like and rotate them in I'm reading a book about habits and to be successful, it must become routine and automatic. More time thinking means more mistakes. Isn't the Zone 40/30/30. I'm basically doing that now in an overall manner. You can pick any proteins, carbs, fats you like. I never reach my protein goal but I'm okay with that. I was successful losing weight regardless. On my good days I run 43/34/23. I'm still working on tweaking my diet so I can get closer to the 40. The gain. I haven't been following my plan like I should. I've not been able to lift weights for 2 weeks due to stitches. I got those out today but will get more put in on Wednesday. So that's been part of the problem. I've tracked everyday but only after each meal. I need to get back to pretracking the day the night before.

Omg...i had a long post and lost it..ugh. sorry I've been missing I've had a migraine it's now dull ache in my eyeballs had it since Monday morning.. one thing with a headache you don't eat as much cuz you're in bed hoping it'll go away so I've tracked for 2 days yay me..
@theslightedgeforever
@trooworld
hey you guys I'm interested in program you guys are doing seems like both the 40 30 30 Zone Diet not quite sure sounds like something I should investigate... I'll try to do some research on it let me know your thoughts..
I've been reading and listening to a lot of leadership things lately one of the things I heard today was very interesting on self-discipline...are you the bridge or the tunnel.
if your self discipline and your the bridge you're going TO something.. if your self-discipline is heavy you're going through something your the tunnel which are you?0 -
Afternoon,
I haven't tracked everything yet today. I will. I have to get my rear to church. I have had a busy crazy day. I am feeling better, even made my bed! Yea....
@trooworld You didn't lie, you just kept the truth from yourself. I know you will make good choices even if it's sugar for a day. I hope you have a great night and relax a bit. sounds like you need it.
Cbabie0 -
Trooworld. I’m glad you found a breakfast that you like I’m not interested in doing blocks as that causes me to to have to think too much. So I find a breakfast I like and enter it in to MFP and look at the macros for that meal and then tweak as necessary. So then I just copy that meal over to the current day Dinners are the hardest for me
Cbabie. I’m glad your migraine is gone. I don’t think I’m the bridge or tunnel. Is there a 3rd choice. Maybe I’m the parking lot
I had surgery today on my nose so only light walking is allowed for another week.

Morning all,
I was crazy busy yesterday, was at the church most of the day. I did terrible on eating..PB got me. NO Ice cream, but lots of PB...yes the real thing.
@trooworld We all love those little surprises...you are increasing your consistency in good choices and it shows.
@theslightedgeforever no there is not a 3rd choice...no standstill,,,,it's moving through or to....maybe your to is just VERY slow...LOL
Cbabie0 -
morning, I have had a rough week, and I took it out in food. I am surprised I am not in a sugar coma....I have been looking for PBfit, Sam's doesn't carry it any longer, my grocery store does not either...so mission this weekend is to find online and order. I will ALWAYS need PB, it's more important to me than sugar...I don't know why I LOVE it so much, but I do...so knowing that, I have to use the one with less fat..
@trooworld Sorry, you are talking to yourself again. I have not had 2 good nights, crying mostly...but today I am trying to push personal issues aside and do what is good for me. PB is my go to, regardless...so I have to plan around it. LOL I am so glad your DH lasagna was good. I love lasagna. I hope you have a good time at the movies. I am thinking of going to get my hair cut today, you know something to shake it up a bit. LOL
Cbabie0 -
Hello all,
I did go get my hair cut yesterday, they just cleaned up what another had done awhile back that I hated. So it feels healthy again.! YES!!! now to get the rest of me healthy. Too bad you can't just trim or cut off things. LOL
@trooworld I found it on Amazon, same price so I am going to order it from them. LOL Unless I get a bug today to go to Walmart. Thanks for letting me know!! I hope you have a good Sunday and get all your prep done!
@theslightedgeforever Did you forget us?
Cbabie0 -
trooworld It sounds like you are doing well. That movie sounds interesting. I've been prepping for my colonoscopy. Two days of avoiding foods I want and tomorrow is all liquids plus drinking all that yucky stuff. My son brought in a pizza tonight and I couldn't have any. I told him I'm on the colonoscopy diet.
cbabie I didn't forget you just having problems with my routine. If the routine is off, so is everything else. I get my stitches out tomorrow. I thought it was infected so went back to the dr today. She sent me to a wound specialist in the clinic who said possible but not really bad like all over my face. I thought who would wait til infection is all over the face.

Afternoon,
I had a bad night, woke up to well, lets just say I went back to bed with the covers over my head after my DH got up..LOL I didn't walk, when I did awake it was already 12 and I just jumped in the shower. So I have tracked what I grabbed to hold me over until dinner.
@theslightedgeforever hope today/tomorrow goes well for you!
@trooworld I hate folding laundry, but so do others that live with me. I hate the clothes winkled worse, but some I live with don't seem to care. LOL Yea for you that you got all your meals cooked. I ordered my PBFit and I have made what I had left. I should have enough made until my shipment gets here tomorrow. So NO MORE JIF for me...I remember when I hadn't eaten JIF in years and when I did this past year, it tasted like it was made with Crisco...so I have to get my taste buds back in shape..
