Living the Lifestyle Friday 24 November 2017

Jimb376mfp

We meet here to explore, share, celebrate, and (sometimes) agonize over how we do (or don't) incorporate weight loss guidelines into our daily lives. "It's a lifestyle, not a diet" is easily and often said, but sometimes not so simply put into practice.

This is a thread for everyone. If you're new to GoaD, or to weight loss, your questions and comments are always welcome. If you're maintaining, or a long-term loser, your thoughts on the topic may be just what someone else needs to hear. If you're reading this, join in the discussion!

Each weekday, a new topic is offered up for discussion. Thread starters for November are:

Monday - imastar2 (Derrick)
Tuesday - Calvin2008Brian
Wednesday - Rachel0778 (Rachel)
Thursday - misterhub (Greg)
Friday - jimb376 (Jim)

Appetizers. None A
Main dinner/ entrees Baced chicken, sweet potato, salad B
Drinks None A
Desserts Pumpkin Pie D
Exercise Pickleball B.

Final B.

That's how I think the point counting WW world would count.

But I really want to give myself an A. The pumpkin pie pulled down my grade when I gave it a WW D. But really the P Pie was an A++. It's my favorite thing about Thanksgiving eating. I have never done a WW Thanksgiving without it. Haven't tied myself in knots trying to balance the books. Just kept going.

Desserts F- 1ea. slices of pumpkin, cheesecake, and chocolate cream pies, w/ 1/2C ice cream

Grade how you LTL on our national overeating holiday. By letter grade (A-F) or on a scale of 1-10 (10=Perfect) rate how you did with:

Appetizers: A+ (None)
Main dinner/ entrees: B (I had a little bit of everything but my plate was far from full.
Drinks: C (2 glasses sparkling cider)
Desserts: D (Apple cider milkshake and 1 small slice of pecan pie)
Exercise: D (Short walk, on feet all day cooking)

Final: C-

Not bad really, all things considered. I skipped breakfast and lunch in anticipation of the silliness of dinner/dessert, and I'm taking advantage of the day off today for some extra exercise. Not trying to balance the books per se, but it feels right.

Grade how you LTL on our national overeating holiday. By letter grade (A-F) or on a scale of 1-10 (10=Perfect) rate how you did with:

Appetizers A - none
Main dinner/ entrees B - Kept in mind all the tips and tricks. Probably had a skosh more than necessary but way more reasonable than when I was mindless.
Drinks B - Unmeasured wine, but probably not more than 6 oz.
Desserts A - About a half-dozen homemade desserts to choose from. Selected small slices of two. Added a little extra real whipped cream to the apple pie. After a small bite of chocolate peanut butter pie, decided it wasn't worth it and passed it off to my sister.
Exercise C - Did about a two mile walk earlier in the day and almost four the next.

Final grade for the day: B - Very satisfactory to me. I went to an out-of-town WW meeting the night before the feast. I was mindful and made decent choices throughout the few days I was out of town. That said, I'm up a couple pounds from where I was before I left. I'm pretty confident it will go down a little the next few days.
