    Long day yesterday. All food consumption after morning coffee is a blur. Started at 5:30 (wayyyyyy tooo early for me!!) and returned after 11:30 pm. Participated in a mid-morning brunch and an evening buffet. I know I drank more that 12 waters yesterday so ok there. I think I did pretty good at the buffets; stayed away from all sweets (YEA ME!!), had veggies with minimal dip, and ate small amounts of the main dishes. Also resisted all soft and hard drinks. This morning, jumped right back into plan. Guess my scale will tell me how I did in a day or two.

    JFT - Tuesday

    1. Log all food for the day
    2. Drink at least 8 glasses of water
    3. Walk at Home video; try to push past 10 min
    4. Write checks to pay bills

    I'm a walk at home instructor now!

    NSV for me!!!
    my best friend Courtney is in the classroom right next to me and was going to a local taco place that is my FAVORITE because she needed to get out of the building. i didn't go! I brought my on plan lunch and stayed and ate it. It helps that it was shepherd's pie from the Always hungry book, one of my favorite meals. I'm pretty dang proud of myself.
    JFT recap of Monday
    stayed on plan
    drank like, a gallon of water
    logged
    didn't roller skate, was too sunburned.

    JFT Tuesday
    stay on plan
    drink (water, not beer, sadly)
    log
    racquetball with my kiddo. We're terrible at it, but it's fun and we are SORE the next day.

    Nicely done! Way to be stronger than the tacos!!

    Hugs and high fives to everyone working so hard.

I have a progress DEXA scan on Thursday as it’s super cheap on offer and nervous that I won’t be good! I don’t mind if there is no change as the last one was great, but backsliding might be a bit embarrassing!

    Argh, not a great day. Waiting for the storm, traffic all over, went to Wal-Mart and shelves are way down. They had all I wanted. We will just hunker down in house and watch the neighbor's pecan tree which I suspect never liked me anyhow. I did manage to get to church on time and to get son's computer to work for his classes--I just guessed which cable and it worked. Classes cancelled for rest of week and tomorrow's evening activities so maybe if the power works we can have catch-up time tomorrow. Chorus cancelled tonight but I am just going to bed rather than work through that time. ATE LIKE CRAZY and went over on calories and I did not like the food so what's up with that. Just ate it because it was there. Too tired but I suspect it is something else (sad, down, missed pills for 2 days). Will organize pills and try to take them tonight and then on schedule again. No shot yet. AND the garbage needs to go out right now. For tomorrow, get act together and be on track...

    @josephinebowman ... I blew it too...ate 3 hotdogs ...it was like it wasn't me... And like you, I ate it cause it was there.
    For me, it wasn't until an hour later, I'm thinking.. I just fed my emotions because I've been concerned about my daughter... I'm going to get a grip!
    We too are awaiting the storm...🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    Wow - life got a way from me for a couple days there.
    I stepped on the scale this morning - 171.6 (up 1.4lbs)
    It sucks, but I'm not surprised. Running once a week is not enough exercise! Add in the illness that prevented me from walking with teacher friends after school; compare that to the overeating I did; and really I should be glad it's only 1.4 lbs!

    Anyway - today is a new day and time to get back to it!

    JFT - Wednesday
    • Log everything I eat (I've been debating this. I logged faithfully for almost 2 years & got burnt out, but I think I need to suck it up and do it)
    • 10 minute legs - ALREADY DONE - whooop whooop!
    • Abs

    Maybe I'll give up tracking again tomorrow. I'm making the commitment to log JUST FOR TODAY.

    GOOD MORNING DEAR LOVELIES🌹🌹🌹
    JUST WANT TO TALK A BIT TO GET REAL FEED BACK FROM MY NEW SISTERS.
    Can you believe this...A day of discovery for me. I've been hiding out. I have been saying that I'm sexy as a "self help pep talk".. But I only realized this morning that I didn't really believe it. After walking my nieces to the bus stop, I suddenly became paranoid to the passing cars and literally froze. When it dawned on me what was happening, I shook myself to snap out of it and that's when I saw the parking lot... Yes it's been there all along, but I didn't view it as a place that I'd be welcome.Crazy right?? I mean, I didn't hear anyone say that I couldn't walk there... It has to do with some inner stupidity that I allowed to block my progress all my life..."THE COLOR OF MY SKIN"... I honestly haven't felt worthy to have things in life. Everything I work to achieve would get snatched away, including my husband...I MUST STRONGLY INTERJECT HERE, I AM NOT PREJUDICE!!! AND PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS OFFENSIVELY... Please don't. But I must say it for you to truly understand my life.
    My husband of 19 full years together, left me for a caucasian woman. And it is not about her color/race... I am labled AFRICAN AMERICAN, but my father was
    American Indian and I can't recall what tribe. I have no idea, for all I know, I could have caucasian ancestery. The point is I have stepped back more times than I've gone foreward.
    Amazing what stepping outside of yourself can reveal. I never saw race...my family are not that kind of people. Mom and Dad taught us to love everyone, and be quick to apologize, and quick to forgive. Something I've lived by all my life. Truly not having met any of you, it's like you've become my extended family of fantastic sisters. So when I send the emoji roses etc. I'm sending you real heartfelt love the only way that I can.
    Ooooo lookie... I think I wrote a book... Lol….
    Sorry for being long winded...
    Hope you will still love and accept me.😅
