Well -- its only 9:45 pm, and I am finally getting around to posting and getting on here. Busy day today. ... but all good. I did OK yesterday, and today, well, did pretty good. I have to go in and log my food, but hoping I am OK - did get to the gym this morning.
Tomorrow will be my weigh in - so I will post my weight ---- good or bad. I am trying not to weigh myself during the week, because I want this to be more than what the numbers on the scale say. But ... I sure do hope I will be out of the 200s and stay out!
SO JFT, SUNDAY
1. log all food
2. grill chicken tomorrow, and eat only a very small pieice of the ice cream cake I bought for fathers day.
3. celebrate the day with hubby of 40+ years and our daughter.

6/17 = 179.5 considering all the meals away from home this week, and several occasions with alcohol, I'm happy to not have a gaincschmitz110515 wrote: »Weekly Weigh-In will be good for me. I eat back calories when I am active, but often I snack / eat too much. My weigh-ins have been all over the scale lately due to life. I weigh myself daily and log weekly. I will post my Saturday a.m. weigh-in.
My June goal is to lose those pesky 4# and stay below 180...I'm so close!
6/3 = 177.5
6/10 = 179.5 after pre-race spaghetti supper the night before

Just for Sat. 6/17 - niece's graduation party / round trip by car 3 hours
1) Go to farmers market before crowd arrives, get produce and remaining herbs = there was no beating the crowd this morning - 100th year of the market was being celebrated. I bought fresh peas and the first strawberries of the season, whitefish, more fresh veggies / fruit, and my last herbs, including catnip for Kitty.
2) Walk dog = 3.43 miles
3) At party, make wise food & beverage choices / 1 - 2 alcoholic drinks / drink water / log later = Did ok...had very small or sensible portions of great picnic / party food, skipped the snacky food, had 3 SMALL dessert bars b/c hey it's a party, and only one beer. Drank 6 c. water and 2 c. iced tea unsweet. Net calories a guestimate, since I really didn't know what was in some recipes, but still < 300 over.
4) Enjoy the party! I did! Had great time visiting with relatives too seldom seen, and gave dad his Father's Day card. Now I'm quite tired (introvert at heart, people wear me out).
Just for Sunday 6/18 - not sure if weather will cooperate
1) Church 9 a.m.
2) Walk dog
3) Do laundry / hang on line
4) Find more pots and plant herbs
5) Bedtime by 10:15 & TV off, M means a work day1 -

Not eat something I don't really, really like.2 -

(back to where I was on June 1st, (and also in April), but, at least the scale moved in the right direction.
I am leaving next Wednesday for a few days with my son, so hoping those grandsons will help me wear off some calories! (The RV trip fell through, so flying instead - which is OK with me!) . I am flying out on Wednesday, and coming back on Sunday. It will be all eating out, and no way for me to exercise, as I am kinda going as a babysitter. But I am so looking forward to seeing my son, and also spending time with DIL and those precious little grandsons!4 -

I'm going to try this! My mom used to make salmon patties when I was a kid and I always loved them. I wasn't sure about what to do with the bones last time I bought canned salmon so thanks for adding that tip! So, are they soft enough to chew? Don't have to worry about them getting stuck when swallowing? Yum....0 -

I clicked "inspiring" on your post!
I was thinking if I'd had had a knee operation I would of Been sat on the sofa surrounded by fast food and empty ice cream tubs! Watching episode after episode of soaps I need to catch up on!
Yet here you are, setting awesome goals and sticking with it!
You're putting the rest of us to shame!!
Well done :-)1 -

Haha! Just because I set goals doesn't mean I have met them all! This last week has been tough because I have been hurting and when I'm on pain pills, my stomach gets upset so I eat more than normal. I'm feeling a little less pain today for the first time, so my plan is to declutter either my desk drawers in the office or my bedroom closet, and try to eat healthier. Trust me, I've had more than one bowl of ice cream while lying on the couch watching Netflix! LOL!
You always make me smile, Bex... 2 -
I cant find my post either @OConnell5483 There's been so many people posting so often! But I love it! I love that our little group is exploding! Lol

7. Get quarters and do laundry so that there is something to wear to the gym next week!

Hmmm...am wondering how many calories being a roadie counts as. Doing some volunteering for a music festival on Saturday. I did this same job a couple of years ago...helped to set up the stage and audio, lots of walking, then did security/bouncer stuff for several hours. Maybe I should just count it as walking.3

Felt very energetic today. After getting my gym bag ready for tomorrow, I decided to clean out my clothes closet. After having lost 38 lbs, there were many pieces of clothing that were obviously too big. Instead of putting them away "just in case" as I did in the past, I packed them in a box and checked my favorite charity for their next donation pickup date. Fortunately , pickup is tomorrow. I think that this is an additional incentive for me to keep plugging away to lose my final 25 lbs .There will be "no just in case" in my future.3

It's never a bad idea to keep one size too large. I've needed slightly larger clothes for several reasons that didn't involve regaining weight--such as having surgery.2

I woke up at 5am, because of the dog, and for the first time in forever I actually felt awake!!
With an underactive thyroid its kind of a big deal! I'm forever tired and always lacking energy!
So instead of curling up on the sofa where I will inevitably fall asleep I got the dogs lead on and went for a walk down the canal!
@OConnell5483 Do you remember when I said I had that fight with the goose? It wasn't there today and I think I know why, I thinkk it was protecting eggs somewhere nearby that's why it was so aggressive.
Because today as I was walking I saw one ahead and the more I came round the corner the more geese I could see!! 42!!! About 8adults and the rest baby geese (so cute!)
And then I saw a heron! Birds galore haha
I like birds. I think I should become a bird watcher
Anyway,its now 6.25 and I'm still awake (after an iced coffee) and the girls are still asleep! Much needed me time!5 -
Just a quick post this morning - not got much time so will just post goals for today (which I'll keep simple)
- Be in the green
- No snacks other than Ryvita (if hungry)
- No alcohol
- 30 + minute lunch break
- Listen to music to boost mood
- Stay positive - avoid getting angry/stressed/depressed
- Remember: it's just a job!!!
Have a good day all!3 -
What a good idea, I really need this now as since I started working from home my diet is bad, my sugar craving have come back and I fear I will regain the weight I lost and have managed to keep off since 2011!
So for today:
- Log everything
- No milky coffees
- Avoid sugar, except fruit
- 6 glasses of water
- Keep below 1200 kcals
I will be back tomorrow to update
Wishing everyone a good day.3 -
A lot of great goals here. I had a rough weekend, and my body is paying for it now. So once it decides that it is ready to move, my goals are:
- cardio for 1 hour
- lift
- log all calories
- 8 glasses of water
- no bread, crackers, etc.2 -

@MLHC1, your scale is moving in the right direction.
@azulvioleta6, after losing 38 lbs and down 6 dress sizes, there is no way that I am going to keep clothing that's too
