We need one more stepper!
I thought it was full. Is it too late for me to be added?4 -
Hey guys, haven't posted here yet. Life keeps me busy with kids and a bunch of animals! This past week I didnt do so well. The previous week I did low carb, and I usually do well on that. Except I hardly lost any weight and was frustrated with it. So this past week I ate more than I should have. This coming week, I need to work on portion control.

My eating hasn’t been great the last couple days. We ordered out Thai food Thursday night and I just haven’t got myself back on track since. We are now on our way to my parents for the day, and I’m going to have to be very mindful of what I’m eating there! At least I got up early to exercise and get a jump on my steps for the day!
Have a nice weekend everyone!

I gave an update on the MFP newsfeed about my shoulder. In a nutshell, I need xrays and PT but nothing serious. I am a little bummed that I need to get PT, I guess I wanted them to say give it a little more time and it will be gone Lol! Oh well, sucks getting old. My days NEVER go as I plan anymore. I was planning to get my exercise in early afternoon and I ended up getting in to get my hair cut and got into the doctors so I didn't get to exercise until late. I made the sesame chicken in the crockpot which was good but I don't know why I just wasn't happy with it. First of all, the sauce was too good for the nutritional values to be accurate. It had to have more calories and carbs. I had to add cornstarch which was in the recipe but I just had a bad feeling about that Lol! Remember I am not much of a cook so it could just be in my head. Today I am going to get my exercise in first thing, then see if I have time to start my tidying. This evening we have to go to our annual dinner party at my sister in laws house. I have no idea what she is having. She doesn't like anyone to bring anything which is awkward. It always starts out with 2 drinks that I am not fond of that my brother in law makes. He is so sweet and cute that I could never refuse and all those years I faked that I liked it. Since I don't know what we are eating, I don't want to go there hungry. I think I will at least have a yogurt before I go. I also am going to drink a lot of water and sip my drinks slowly. I don't want to screw up my progress, especially with things I don't even like. I am hoping with a good workout before and not starving when I am going I will set myself up for success. Oh well...I better get going if I want to get anything done!
*fun fact* Did you know the treadmill was initially used as a punishment for prisoners? I didn't . I was 1/2 listening to a show this am while I was on the computer and heard this. It was used to harness their power for things like milling and churning butter but it was also a punishment. Now people spend money to be able to use one! Pretty funny how things turn out!
@cyndiesstuff That is awesome news about your lab work. Especially your A1C! What a great feeling that you were able to get it down without going on medication. Thanks for being such an inspiration! I am very lucky that I was put on your team. I learned so much and I think you even saw when that light bulb finally went on. It is hard to explain but I feel so different now. Good luck with the eye doctor. I got new glasses the other day. Shannon actually stopped in to help me pick and talked me into bigger frames. I feel like Chicken Little but am slowly getting used to them. I felt like Mrs Clause in the other ones I had for years so IDK which is better lol!
@amsandos I love how you made a plan so you could still enjoy your pizza night. I don’t do as well with too many restrictions. You need to be able to still enjoy and occasional treat and have it fit in your plan. Glad you were able to stay away from the lemon cake too! Nice job!
@lenka1. Fab loss! You are going to reach your goal! I know it! Great job! I was getting out of the car in an area that I have been going to for over 25 years and there was a little store I never noticed Lenka’s hairstyling. I wish I could say it was a new place but it’s not. Funny how you notice things. You are the first and only Lenka I know so guess it just never registered before yesterday. Lol!
@phoebe112476 sounds like a nice snowy day for you. I saw the storm coming in on the news. I hope you can still get to yoga. Maybe if it is a snow day, you can try a video. I know you like the classes but maybe you can find a video you like for days you can’t get to class. I know how much you love it. So do you do the emeals recipes or do you actually do the whole thing? It sounds like a blue apron type of thing. If you do, do you like it? I keep going back and forth. You have posted so many yummy meals, it may be worth finally taking the plunge. Good luck with your tidying!4 -

Hello & Happy Saturday! Hope you are doing well! Sorry I’ve been MIA.
The New Year has not been going according to plan. Been off with my food & exercise. I’m not giving up! I’m going to get my act together! I know what I need to do!
I’m going to start my weekend off right with a workout. Really going to try to eat well. We have plans tonight, but I’m going to do well during the day.
Have a good weekend!😊👍🏻6 -
@kirsten11872 I know once you get focused you will get that off. You have done it before! Remember to make time for yourself. You can do this! Good job getting a workout in today!4

Daily Check In for Friday
Food - Logged and on target
Water - 800 ml (and I had a much needed glass of wine on Friday night!)
Exercise - Physio and 10,032 steps
Spending much of my weekend in cold hockey arenas as I am the mom of 2 goalies!
What am I aiming for in 2019?
Health - recovering from my injury, get back to running, achieving my goal weight & stopping the weight fluctuations once and for all.
Balance and family - Started this one in 2018. After over 23 years in the corporate world, I left my busy job in 2018 (am a lawyer) and started my own part time legal practice. The goal was and is to have more time for family and to do the things that I love in work and life. I am loving it so far and my family is happier too!
Joy - Also from 2018. Obviously, a goal from my Marie Kondo focus! Tidying my house is the starting point for focusing on the things that bring me joy in life. My husband and I used to travel a lot prior to having kids. Now that the kids are older, we have started to travel more again. We have a Florida trip planned in early spring, then we are taking the kids to Europe this summer and I plan on visiting a dear friend in Arizona at some point this year.
@carlsoda - Congratulations on the new grand baby!!
@sleepymom5 and @phoebe112476 - Hope the tidying is going well! The kids and I are finishing up their clothes and rooms this weekend. Marie is such a sweetheart on the show, very kind and gentle. Even though she speaks mostly Japanese, I hear her voice in my head encouraging me as I am tidying!

Water: lost track but it was a lot
Exercise & Steps: 30 minute dog walk; 12,502 steps
Exercise and water wise I've been exceeding my goals but ever since my disappointing weigh in on Thursday my eating has been off track. I've been helping hubby with physically demanding outside projects and I'm just exhausted, cold and hungry at day's end. Thankfully he cooked one of his stir fry concoctions last night using the last of our fresh veggies but its impossible to log. I was so grateful to not have to figure out dinner and was in bed before 8:30! My weight just continues to go up each day. The other thing is that we're having a really weird winter here in Montana and have a ton of ice which is unusual. I am such a baby when it comes to driving on ice so I haven't been to town in days. I hate the feeling of being trapped at home. But the new me is eating healthy so I put on my big girl panties and drove to town to stock up on fresh fruit and veggies. Fingers crossed the weight starts coming off. My app hasn't been working so I'm way behind on posts. Will catch up on how everyone's doing.cyndiesstuff wrote: »End of the Week Challenge:
Zig Ziglar once said, “If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.”
What are you aiming at? Is it written down? Will what you’re aiming at change your life? Start a new direction? Help build your legacy? Create health and happiness?
I am aiming to be within a healthy weight range by the end of June when I turn 50. I intend to be healthier in my 50's than in my 40's and probably even 30's. Healthy living will be the norm, not the exception. I will be a strong, fit, sexy and healthy 50 year old!! At the end of 2019 I will have successfully navigated several months in maintenance stage, including the six weeks in late summer/early fall we have house guests!! That's what I'm aiming for!!
Wishing everyone a great weekend!!

I was really proud of myself yesterday. I knew it was going to snow this weekend so I took my running shoes and ran at lunch. I wanted to make sure I was well nourished so I took my rice cooker to work w me. Enjoyed basmati rice and leftover red curry sweet potato soup with lots of fresh cilantro and green onion.
Molly spending weekend at her moms. MIL still struggling.9 -
Today was a great day, but it was also a little scary food wise. Went to a friend's house to play with her 2yo while she did hair and makeup for another friend. We had chicken tacos from a kit from Costco. Hostess had already thrown the packaging away, so I had to guess on the calorie count. I have come to really hate guessing so I (I think) overestimated.
Now I'm not sure how much I ate or how many calories I burned chasing the kid around (but chasing game, picking up and putting down squirmy toddler, going up and down stairs... I'd say maybe 150, maybe more?... but don't want to put that in b/c what if I'm wrong?
It's hard to be accurate and on track in social situations, and you don't want to be the obnoxious "I'm on a diet" person either.
I did notice during the toddler chasing that I had a lot more energy, so I'm excited for that. Got a brunch with some other girlfriends tomorrow. Hope my guestimations are good ones!
Food: Maybe on track? Not sure.
Water, about 50 oz
Exercise: Yoga and toddler chasing6 -
@amsandos spin class will burn alot of calories. good job at keeping active. sounds like a win win pizza, fun, exercise. what a great day you had.
@lenka1 woooooo whooooo now thats the way you do it. good job. your goal is totally doable.
@phoebe112476 tidying must be in the air. it is contagious like yoga! i got yoga in twice today. once this morning before my morning walk and then once in the evening to stretch the muscles in my neck back and shoulders. i am so proud of you! you keep this up.
nope @nstephenson01 you have just been added to the spread sheet, at some point the powers that be changed it from a 10 member team to 12 and forgot to tell people. thanks for stepping up (see what i did there?) do you have your steps from the beginning of january? go to the thread, the link is in my last post and post as many of the days that you have a record for. welcome aboard!! i love you aim!! you are dead on girl. now get that food back under control and lets get this done. 2019 is going to be our year!!
@Zumba_Luvah thats just a small gain. what are you going to differently this week? what plans have you made to help you be successful? thanks for checking in. we would really like to hear more from you. it would really help you with motivation. you need to make yourself a priority. you are the care taker. don't forget to take care of yourself.
@Shirin_K i agree going to my folks house is hard. they always want to feed me. and its usually not the best food. I finally decided to tell my folks that i couldnt eat there and why. they really didn't care they were just happy i came to visit.
@FieryVixsin hey there you go. the scale moved in the right direction. good job.
@sleepymom5 boy sometimes life is crazy isn't it? whats going on with your shoulder? did you hurt it? and you are right, is is hard getting old. but its gonna happen whether we want it to or not so might as well enjoy the ride. and i love the new glasses i picked out they are very dark purple with light purple flexs in them. i will take a picture when i get them. she said probably two weeks. and these ones are a little bigger than my previous ones. but thats the new style.
@kirsten11872 ohh kirsten. pick up the pieces girl. maybe start recording your food for the day when you get up in the morning. many times if you right it down you stick to it. and have you made an advantages list and put it on your frig and on the bathroom mirror? write down all the reasons you need to lose this weight for good this time and read it every time you go to the frig or the bathroom. keep your reasons top in mind.
@Cafelelia Yahhhh, enough calories left over for a glass of wine. good job. your being a good mom. and i bet you look cute in a sweater!! and i love what your aiming at. good job at having that plan.
@lovemickeymouse ayayayayay. good job. l love it when the scale goes down. you keep up the hard work.
@Mrsbell8well you kitchen looks amazing. good job. so pretty. and lula mae is loving her blankie! lol. i will say a pray for mollys mom. i hope she finds her answer soon.
@czvanut Well chicken tacos are better than beef, calorie wise. so you were probably safe there. and you know i have gotten to the point where i do my diet stuff every where. if people find it offensive they can walk away till im done. i have to track. and more energy is a great sign of your health improving. good job. that is another nsv for you.
just thought i would catch up tonite. big day tomorrow. kitchen is cleaned. laundry is done, grocery list is made. i am ready to go grocery shopping and do the prep for the week tomorrow. i am thinking sweet and sour chicken, chili, and chicken teriyaki stir fry and beef bone broth soup.
Good night Team Weight No More

13 day string on new plan
Good day yesterday. Did my walk and yoga for 20 minutes in the morning. I did yoga that was targeted for the neck, shoulders and spine. Then got my eyes check. I picked out some really nice new glasses. I love them. Then I took my oldest son grocery shopping and to do his running around. We had a very tender moment on the way back to his apartment. I held his hand and told him that I will alway love him. Hes my favorite. He said i love you to mom. Your the best mom ever even tho you can be a little crazy! lol we laughed and i kiss his hand. awhhh. just thinking about it makes my heart sing. Then I came home and Jim (aka the ole boy) had been google searching. Not for the part for the stove. not for car parts but for a pizza place that has a gluten, sugar, and dairy free pizza. He found a place about a half hour from home and said do you want to go? Do I? heck yes. First of all how sweet can my day be? two of my most favorite men love me! second of all, pizza that fits my plan? i am in heaven. so we went to the restaraunt. They quit making that pizza last year. i asked if they could make me one and they said no, that chef is gone and it was his recipe. so i had a salad with no cheese and no bread and no dressing and the ole boy had pasta. thats ok tho. because if there was one place that does it there has to be more i just have to find it. maybe @Mrsbell8well and I should open up our own restaraunt where we use only fresh whole foods and we cater to people with food issues.
@twyla77 uhhh ohhh! sounds like you have build up some momentum! going to the gym on a rest day? you go girl! oh yea and i added all your numbers into the spreadsheet. your all set there thanks for Stepping up.
@Mrsbell8well and i know i already commented on your puppy pic but now i am on my desktop computer and i see her picture big instead of small on my phone. look at the way she is looking at you. i think she looks slightly annoyed you interrupted her nap. you know, it is hard being a cute black doggie. it takes alot of energy. she needs her beauty rest!!!!
Lets have the best Sunday ever!!

It's only my second week of doing this, but Sunday is "sneak peek" day. My official weigh in day is Wednesday, but on Sundays I check in to see progress.
This morning I was 158 for the first time in over a year! Let's hope I maintain that till Wednesday! Happy dance!!!!9
