Finally dropped under 167 again! 166.6 this morning
Having a good week so far moving a little more each day.
Almost done getting ready for Christmas, plan to shop today for those last few gifts, than bake another batch of cookies. I made my husband his favorite now for mine. There will be nine of us here for Christmas Eve so I'm still trying to decide what I should fix - finger foods (sandwiches and fixings) or a meal?3 -
Good morning all! Early check in for me...then I need to get busy!
Yesterday I started to not feel so hot, but I did get in my steps, did 10 minutes of yoga and ate pretty good considering. I ended up having soup for dinner with added chicken in it (for protein). Today our company is heading over to Feed My Starving Children and pack meals, but I think I'm going to back out, still not feeling 100%.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!4 -

It was a good day and I got a lot of stuff done. Went grocery shopping, got recipes ready for a family Christmas this weekend, and baked cookies. And I only ate 1 cookie - had to make sure they tasted okay! Also got out for a nice walk with my daughter since the weather has been so warm (40 degrees). Have a great Thursday all!

Not pretty but not unexpected. I've been pushing myself harder physically. The last few days I've been hungry all the time and consuming more carbs. I've also been sitting down for lunch whereas I normally just snack throughout the day. In reviewing my weight loss progress I've learned I have two big gains each month followed by 2 losses. Its just how my body works. Hopefully I have a loss next week. I'm still 20 pounds lighter than this time last year so there's that.5 -

Day 5 on my string
I was going to break my string but you know what? I did really well considering so I am keeping it intact. I got the walking tape in before we left for the shore. We met friends for lunch down here and I had a glass of wine. I have to work on feeling badly if someone isn't drinking because I am not. I wouldn't have had one normally. My husband and I ended up at a steak house in Atlantic City for dinner. My plan was to eat 1/2 of everything and I did. We actually haven't been alone in a while and were talking so much that we were eating slower and I actually felt full! Lol! It wasn't hard to stop eating. AND I didn't feel gross and stuffed. I also did my one before dinner, one with and one after dinner with my drink and drank a lot of water. I logged 64 because I am not exactly sure how much but I am sure I was over. I also did pretty well at the casino so it was a good night. I always just spend what I think is fair for "entertainment" so that way if you lose, it isn't like you really lost. If that makes sense. I actually went home with that and some more so very nice. Sorry for being MIA yesterday but I think I will be all caught up after I am done here. Tonight another dinner out but I already looked at the menu and have the same plan for drinks. No matter if we have drinks before or after, I limit myself to one at dinner. I also LOVE all the fancy holiday drinks they have but I am sticking to my prosecco. Hope everyone has a great day!!
@cyndiesstuff The big problem this time of year at the shore is drinking of course and basically not eating like I am on vacation. I really need to get myself in a solid routine before the summer hits. I can’t be in vacation mode from May to Oct. Exercise is awesome during that time but eating and drinking is another story. Don’t beat yourself up about the weight gain. You have so much going on. Just try to get it under control ASAP! That is key. Your step count is awesome!
@Mrsbell8well Your coworker was me for so many years. I have finally learned that you can never be “off”. I obviously struggle but I am really trying to just enjoy the holiday and get right back on track.
@DananaNanas Thank you for stepping up to the step challenge. (Lol! See what I did there?) You have had a tough year but look at all you have accomplished. Even though you feel like you aren’t where you would like to be, think of where you would be if you DIDN’T do those things. Hang in there and keep doing what you’re doing. I know with my daughter it can be a while to find the right medication and dosage and the right therapist. Don’t give up on yourself. You are worth the effort. This is totally a guess but I think that most people don’t your struggles. You seem like you are probably the funny, entertaining person of the group. That is also a lot to live up to. Like I said, totally a guess but just from some of the things you have written in the past, I get that vibe. And never feel bad about coming in here and venting. Weight has so many factors to it. All these stresses or celebrations are part of our issues. This is also a safe place that you don’t really have to worry about being judged. Hugs!
@nstephenson01 Your decluttering reminded me I never told you (or maybe I did) that I took from your example and got rid of Christmas stuff we don’t use. I actually gave them to my son and his fiancé who just bought a house this fall. Maybe I will declutter the attic before the decorations go back in Jan. You seem to do well even when the weather doesn’t cooperate. Your dogs are good motivation.
@Shirin_K great job hitting those goals. I need to do the pledge too. It kinda forces me to think about the day and possible problems that may arise and plans to ward them off. And another great day yesterday! Nice loss this week too!
@carlsoda never worry about not checking in. Although it is good that you do, it shouldn’t be a cause for stress. I was thinking while reading your post that I would be struggling with not ordering pancakes lol! That is definitely a WIN! Great job! I also didn’t realize you mall walked! Great idea for the cold weather. Happy to hear you are staying on track! Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. Feel better soon
@ljdanny I bet he wasn’t happy but I am guessing it is just to keep it stable since they just removed the pins. I am glad he is doing better. What a nightmare to go through, for all of you. Hugs.
@Mandi5512 I am glad you are feeling better. Great day yesterday!
@bbcbw Wtg!! Nice loss!
@pacsnc6 sounds like you are doing great! I do Christmas Eve too just with out immediate family. We always do appetizers and finger foods. I asked the kids if they wanted a dinner and they want to stick with the appetizers. I was surprised. Good luck whatever you decide.
@eyesopennow At least the scale is going in the right direction. Great job! Especially this time of year! You usually weigh in Fridays, do you want me to use this weight for the week?

Water: lots
Exercise & Steps: 4.5 mile dog hike; 16,662 steps
Weight is up but I can tell I'm retaining water big time. Muscles are pretty sore each day. I'm actually looking forward to a snow day so I can rest. LOL Got the dogs out for a nice hike and then cleaned the house. My neighbor dropped by with a basket of baked goodies also remarking how good I looked Ummm... how does she think I got here? Not by eating her sweets!! #@%$ Letting hubby eat what he wants then tossing... shh... don't tell my neighbor! Gotta run... I'm meeting a new neighbor for a hike. She has SIX poodles of various sizes plus a mini-yorkie. Mercifully she's only bringing two poodles. We'll see how our dogs get along. She's in great shape so I hope this leads to future hikes.
Take care everyone. This is a tough time of year. Be kind to yourself. Hugs.5 -

I did a little decorating down here too! We will be coming down at some point for New Year's eve so I am not totally nuts!

@sleepymom5 LOVE your beach house décor! Can I stop by??? Our family is all over the place. MIL just getting out of hospital. Not doing too good. Molly will be there. Robin and Skylynn at boyfriend's house. Dad has his daughter and granddaughter coming over whom I have never met. I am not counting on anything or anyone. We will celebrate when we can. But I wish I had a glass of wine in front of that cute little fireplace.2

@Mrsbell8well . Thank you! I wish you could join me! I am sorry to hear about Molly's mom. I know she has been having a rough couple of months. I will keep her in my prayers.1
