Daily check in for: Thursday
Logged: Yes and under
Water: 64 oz
Exercise & Steps: 10,108 steps and rest day
I will take any loss! It actually wasn't my lowest weight for the week. I am hoping it is because my carbs were on the high side the last two days. I was so exhausted yesterday that I decided to take a rest day but still wanted to be sure to get my steps in. I did ok with that. Today, I am hoping to do a quick walking tape, may only be 20 min. I have a lot to do before my "brunch" tonight. I still have no plan, I may just have a little of everything and then GET RID OF THE LEFTOVERS! That is usually my biggest problem. I doubt I will have a chance to get on later so I will post the weigh in information this am.
I hope MFP is fixed tomorrow. But as @carlsoda reminded us-it is free. I am so glad we can still get in on the community pages though. I would be lost without you all! xoxo .
@mrsbell8well You have such productive days! It must have been nice to have another person notice your progress!
I am also going to think of my No No’s and yes Yes’s. I know one big No is peanut butter. And one yes is my Greek yogurt. I like the no’s are more a caution than a flat out no.
@lennoncpa Nice loss!! glad you got through your business lunch. I am so bad about speaking up but it seems like when you do. It is no problem and it seems like a lot of the times you get something really good!
@bbcbw I can’t help with the smoothly but maybe with the 3 miles. Do you get Youtube over there? There are Leslie Samson’s walking videos. 3 miles is 45 min. She goes quick, it is a fun, easy way to get steps in.
@mandi5512 Sometimes you don’t have control over where you end up. You did great picking healthier options instead of giving in and having the usual fast food.
@cassiegetsfit2013 it sounds like everyone is having problems. I was hoping it would have been fixed today. Hope all is going well.
@amsandos. I think the important thing is to stop yourself from spiraling. You had a bad day on Wed, just don’t let that bring you down until Sunday. We are human. These things happen. Just get back on track. Make a plan for when your family is here. Watch your portions, skip the bread basket and dessert or just have a small portion. If you get off track, don’t beat yourself up, just pick yourself up and get right back at it. You can do it!
@carlsoda you are doing awesome! I had to lol at your response to Mrsbell-I often wonder why it took me until my 50s to start figuring it out. Lol!
@eyesopennow-nice loss!
@cyndiesstuff-another great day! And ugh! And it is Friday. What happens if they don’t finish?3 -

@bbcbw My favorite detox smoothie is from Medical Medium. It is a heavy metal detox. It's not for everyone but I love it. 1 cup frozen wild blueberries, 1 frozen banana, 1/2 cup cilantro, juice of 3 oranges (I use my citrus juicer), 1/2 teaspoon barley extract, about 1/8 to 1/4 cup dulce (seaweed) and 1/2 teaspoon spirulina. I drink this when I am coming out of a cleanse or just a pick me up. I drank this yesterday and this morning. I can just feel the goodness flooding through my system.
My morning starts with 16 oz of filtered water with 1/2 or lemon or lime. This itself is a great detox. And when I am serious I follow it with 16 oz of fresh celery juice. It usually takes 1 bunch of organic celery.
These potions are for those seeking some serious detox and renewal.
Hope you all are feeling better.
If I feel cold symptoms I immediately start a zinc lozenge program. It really does help to stop or shorten the symptoms.3 -
Daily check in for: Thursday
Logged: Yes, and under I hope. Hubby cooked one of his pinterest finds
Water: 86 oz
Exercise & Steps: 4 mile hike with dogs; 15,440 steps
Another day in my string
Yesterday was a pretty good day. Was able to take the dogs on a decent hike despite the ice and snow. Felt like I was active enough to compensate for hubby's pinterst find... Reese Witherspoon's Cornbread Chili. It turned out quite tasty. He added extra veggies but it was really heavy. Got a horrible night's sleep and weight was way up this morning. Glad today isn't weigh in day.
Planning for a successful weekend. Today is short walk day then I need to head to town to run errands. I have a light dinner planned for us. Tomorrow night is our neighborhood Christmas party. Never been to their house so I have no idea what to expect. I'll stick to healthy food if they have it. Plus I'm kinda funny about eating at social events when I don't know the people very well... I get all self conscious and make up a very small plate. Guess I'm trying to fool people into thinking I'm dainty LOL And I have Reese's cornbread chili leftovers waiting for me if I come home hungry
Happy Friday Team Weight No More!! Make it a great weekend!!

Week 2
Previous: 136.8
Current: 136.4
Pretty amazing considering a. I haven't logged any food in like a month... and b. We had our work Christmas dinner last night... 2 glass of wine and some gin, AMAZING artichoke ravioli, bread, chips, salad, candy... all the things lol then down half a pound today. I'll take it!
I'm going to a heels class tonight so that should be a decent workout. Not sure what's going on for dinner but I'm going to try to take it easy because I know we're going to Red Robin tomorrow (husband and I accidentally started a tradition where we go to Red Robin for Great Lakes' Chirstmas Ale and burgers before finishing our Christmas shopping a few years ago. I wasn't going to go but he insisted... I have to say I'm glad that the tradition means that much to him. OMAD should be easy to stick to tomorrow) and he said he wants to get up and go to the gym before we go shopping so I may either go with him (for my FIRST VISIT TO THE GYM SINCE SEPTEMBER?!) or go to yoga. Either way that's a step in the right direction. I usually have rehearsal Saturday AND Sunday so it's going to be weird not going up to Cleveland for that anymore5 -
They won't be finished I'll be working Saturday. Oh well time and a half I guess where you at but I don't need the money. So yeah it is what it is5

Hello and TGIF!! Sorry I have not posted much, just been busy at work and have not been feeling great these last few days. I think my TOM is approaching, but I can't be sure these days, I am going through early menopause. I have been feeling run down, headache etc. I only worked out on Monday. Just not a good week. I definitely gained weight. I am not stressing too much, I will get back on track soon.
It is going to be a very busy weekend! Dinner plans tonight, I have to work tomorrow during the day and we have an adult Christmas party tomorrow night, I am looking forward to it! Sunday I will be playing catch-up around the house.
My plan is to enjoy my weekend and get back on track on Sunday. Back to the gym and mindful eating. I am trying to be good, but I have been feeling so hungry, it is awful.
Have a wonderful weekend! I am prepared for a 2-3 pound gain tomorrow.5 -
NSV for the day... went to buy a new pair of jeans for tomorrow's party. Thought I would need a 16... came home with a 12!!!!11

@sleepymom5 yes im a big fan of Leslie and currenlty doing the same 3 miles walk.
@Mrsbell8well thank you so much. I will give it a try. Although im not a smoothie person. @cyndiesstuff thank you.2 -
Sorry you guys been a very busy week. I'm just gonna do a breif update of this week. Monday and Tuesday i had doctors appointments and physical therapy. My physical therapist wants to decrease the amount of days i go so my insurance can continue to cover it. And also he notice I've become stronger. So that's a big plus for me. But it's still only temporary relief when i go. Wednesday i went to see my therapist and it went well. We just talked about staying busy and being active which i have been. And then i went the mall and walked atleast the equivalent to 2 miles. I was over 4000 steps above my usual goal. Then on Thursday i helped my best friend move into her new place so that's another work out!!! So now I'm looking forward to enjoying my weekend ! Hope everyone enjoys theirs !4

I didn't get out of work till 7 oclock last night. The floors are done. Painting is still in progress. I had the painters paint the walls where the desks went so I could put them back. Then after the painters left for the day, my tech guy came and hooked all the computer stuff back up in all three offices. I have to be to work at 7 am today. Painters are going to work 6 hours. They won't be finished but they will be close. At least we will be able to open monday and carry on business while they work toward the back end of the office. What a week.
@sleepymom5 And the scale goes down again! Yea! you are doing great. and i agree, the left overs are what will get ya! pack them up and send them off. It's hard to do the first couple of times but you will get use to it and then it will become almost fun!
@Mrsbell8well your detox sounds yummy! Is the essential sleep oil still working? I got mine yesterday and used it last nite. Don't know if I really slept better, but the smell was very soothing. I will use it every night even tho Jim says it stinks! lol
@nstephenson01 Good plan for the holiday party. Make sure to have a healthy snack before you go! It will help curb the munchies. Make sure to exercise before the party. then it will help provide you with some motivation. you won't want to ruin the work out with junk. good luck, you got this. OOOHHHHH MYYYYYY now i am smiling ear to ear. Size 12! wooooo whoooo. today Nancy you are my motivation! I am way beyond geeked about this nsv. Super!!!
@DananaNanas nice loss!! ohhh my artichoke ravioli sounds amazing. Yes living your life and losing weight.
@kirsten11872 to help you get back on track when your ready. spend some alone time with your thoughts. write out what your plan is and why it is so important to you. write out the advantages on post it notes and post them around the house and then read them 5 times a day. it will help get your mind in gear to do what you want.
@Mandi5512 look at you go girl!! nice loss. very nice. Keep up the hard work. I know this isn't easy but it certainly is worth it.
@Lyssysho26 it really sounds like you are building a great new way to live. Heathly. both mentally and physically. in spite of the pain. i know first hand how hard that is. how it plays games with your mind. but be really proud of yourself. you are doing awesome.

Lets spend some time this morning planning for a successful weekend. Dont let the weekend ruin all the hard work you did this week. You will find that preplanning your weekend will help you be a success. Now lets get to it Team Weight No More. Share with me the new habits you have created.
One of my new habits is to get a walk in every morning. It has become part of who I am. I just do it. I wouldn't think of not getting my walk in. The same way I wouldn't think of not brushing my teeth. It is just what I do.7 -

Logged: Yes, under
Water: 72 oz
Exercise & Steps: 30 minute dog walk; 10,132 steps
Fitting into size 12 jeans yesterday was a major moral booster. Steps were a bit low as I needed a part rest day but otherwise on track. Scale was kind this morning... 175.2 which means 45 pounds lost! Yea Baby!!
@cyndiesstuff That's my plan plus extra hydration throughout the day to make up for the couple glasses of wine I'll no doubt have. Definitely don't want to show up with an empty stomach. I will give some thought to your new habit post. Right now keeping it simple and sticking to the basics seems to be working during this busy month. Today is strength training + dog walk. Full day planned so gotta run.
Happy Saturday team!!4 -

Friday was a fun day spent with my best friend. I came to my best friends house and we just spent time enjoying each other's company. Went to a bar. Didn't have any drinks but water. I'm swearing off liquor during my weight loss. It's just something that works for me. I stayed up super late till like 4am ! The latest ive stayed up in the last 4 months! Hopefully it didn't throw off my balance. I got atleast 5 hours of sleep. So hopefully that counts for something. Hope everyone enjoy their Saturday5 -
I get alerts from the bell that someone liked my posts that is automatically added when diary is conplete, so their page must be fixed. Mine isn't, "newest post" is 3 days old. This sucks! When is it gonna be fixed!? It's just annoying me, lol. Firing up my irritabliness, is that even a word, idk!2
