WEIGHT NO MORE -- February 2019

Although my food diary isn't completely white it should be, I have managed to meet my step goal every day since February 1st.
I figure small changes at a time
but I do seem to be better at estimating how much I can eat, even if I don't always log everything.
I'm really happy for this because sometimes I wonder if I can ever stop writing and logging, so this gives me hope.
I'm still very happy with my galaxy watch, although I do miss those daily and weekly challenges on Fitbit
Anyway, it's almost bedtime here, so night night!

We are going to be getting hit with a snow storm tomorrow into Wednesday. I hate snow. Went to visit my son this afternoon and he text me and said not to come back tonight, hes going to sleep now, um it's 4 o'clock kid. I hate not going back to see him until tomorrow. Anyway I went food shopping and got back on my food plan today so go me. Hopefully I have another loss this week but I will take a maintain with the way I ate over the weekend.5

@eminater - ONEderland. Yay!! Well done.
@shirin_k - 20 days sticking to your plan. Awesome! The scale will follow or you will change your plan - but being able to stick to your plan is huge!!
@nstephenson01 - Boo to that below zero weather, but I am jealous of your moose sighting. So jealous.
@ihp2015 - Awesome on sticking to your plan (step goal) since 2/1. Sticking to the plan is such a big win!
@gottagetthisdown - “I guess I don’t want it bad enough to actually work at it” really struck a chord with me. I don’t believe for one minute the issue is your not wanting it bad enough. You just haven’t found the right plan / started making the right choices to get to your goals yet. You got this! I have been listening to a podcast called Phit N Phat. She did an episode that directly addressed these statements we often make about not wanting the goal enough. I think it was in Episode. Maybe give it a listen. This link might work. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/losing-100-pounds-phit-n-phat-real-diet-talk-from-someone/id1233384453?mt=2&i=1000427439656
Our long drive today got off to a good start (we left the house ahead of schedule, when does that happen??), but it soon became apparent that two (and now all three) of my girls have the stomach flu. Two diarrhea accidents in the car, three girls sitting with throw up bags in their laps, lots of extra stops. Ugh!! Poor girls. They seem better this evening and all three ate small amounts for a snack after all day without eating. My calories for today were really low too due to being with them in the car for 11hours. I just ate a cookie and a small chocolate. Hoping tomorrow’s drive is much less trying. Good night all.8 -

I just did computer and paperwork all day and I am exhausted! Lol! No exercise and not close to my steps. I wanted to get 10K everyday in February. I will check in tomorrow! Have a good night everyone!
@gottagetthisdown It sounds like you know what you have to do. I know you have done it before. Let's get back on track!
@jedaschultz That's ok. You have been doing so well. Keep it going!
@Shirin_K Sounds like you had a good weekend. Don't worry, the scale will cooperate soon!
@carlsoda I am glad that your gain is just from dairy. The scale will go down and hopefully so will your puffiness! Loved all your cooking posts! Those fries looked good!
@NuggetBrain Nice loss! Hope all is going well!
@nstephenson01 You really get clobbered in the winter! Are your winters usually like this or is this typical for you? I can see why it could lead to eating more when you are stuck in the house. Glad you have dinners planned and food in the house so you can stay put! Stay safe and warm. Hope your shoulder feels better with some rest.
@ihp2015 I am trying to hit my step goal of 10K each day this month although today isn't looking that good. Lol! We do miss you over at fitbit but I am glad you love your new watch.
@ljdanny When does he get out of the hospital? Hope all the running around is over soon. We are supposed to be getting snow but it is kinda wimpering out. We always end up getting to warm or it gets warm right after. I would like one good snow storm for the season...Now that you are back on the eating plan I bet you will see a loss. You did last time and you were only a few days into it at that point (if I remember correctly)
@eminater Nice loss! You are doing great!
@phoebe112476 Nice loss!! Ugh! Sorry to hear about the drive. Poor girls. Hope it is just a 24 hour bug and they feel better for tomorrow's drive. Hopefully you will be there tomorrow. Hugs! And have fun!3 -
Did the best I could with what I had today. Forgot we had a curriculum night so I got a half size chickpea and arugula salad with lamb from grecko grille. Estimated as best I could, but not really sure if I'm under or over.
My middle schooler is being exactly that, with double the drama, and after freaking out over forgetting the parent night, no parents actually showed up for my classes.
On top of all that I've been clumsy AF all day. Walked into the corners of three separate desks. Opened a door on my hand. Banged my knee on a chair leg.
Everything hurts and I'm dying. Gotta get up early to do notes for my morning classes. I just have to be done with the day.
But on the plus side, all those separate stressors didn't make me abandon my goal, so... yay me?

No wonder you didn't eat much - it's really no fun looking after children who are sick, especially while you are travelling. Hope things improve quickly! Kids can sometimes be really resilient through these things.1 -

Had an awesome day yesterday. I ate when i was hungry and stopped when i was full! Win!! I drank my water, got my steps in, listened to my podcasts, read my book, and did not eat a snack in the evening. wow. look at all the things i did yesterday creating the new me. she is awesome. i am going to be her soon.
I want to thank all my team mates! I love that people are checking in and sharing ideas and giving support. You guys all rock!! We are the best team to be on.
Oh yea, and @phoebe112476 i forgot to give you a couple of podcasts i have been listening too. one is called real weight loss for real women by cookie rosenblum. and another is Thinner peace by Dr. Deb Butler. now the last one say menopause and beyond, but she uses the same concepts as phit n phat. omgosh, that drive sounds terrible. those poor babies. i sure hope it is just a 24 hour thing. and nice loss! another half pound down. now maintenance for a week. remember -2, +2!!
@nstephenson01 wow your winters are something else. is this a typical winter for you? lol and you saw a moose. how wonderful. that is truly amazing. yup, your right this time a year 28 is warm. almost want to wear shorts! lol
@ihp2015 i have really been spending a lot of time working on mindfulness. really feeling my stomach while i am eating. listen to when i am really hungry or when i am full. it is a new useful skill that i am still a novice at!
@ljdanny good job getting prepped for the rest of your week. im hoping you son comes home today. take care and hug him for me.
Yeah @eminater. onederland! you are a rock star. good job being more active and cleaning up your diet. every change helps push you futher to your goal.
@sleepymom5 sounds like your day was crazy busy. how did you do on your food plan? what was positive about yesterday that you can celebrate?
@GingerPwr first off sometimes your inner klutz has to come out. and it sound like you have a very crazy day. and yes... yay you! you were all stressed and you didn't change the new you. new you said thank you for staying on track.
I have to go. it snowed this morning and now it is freezing rain. i have to leave early but i am up early. i have my water, breakfast and lunch packed. just need to exercise and then i am out of here. I will check in later.
Again, really, thanks to everyone for coming here everyday and checking in. it helps me more than anything else to know we are all in this together. 2019 is our year!!

Check in day: Monday
Steps: 10,028
Exercise: 1.1 miles on the treadmill
Yesterday was a good day. I ate lunch and dinner and had a snack. Also walked on my treadmill. I have a goal of walking on my treadmill every day. Then I'll be ready to walk all my dogs when it warms up (I have 2 Huskies and an american eskimo. Also a shih tzu but shes too old and lazy to go for a walk lol). I also was looking back at my old food journals from around this time last year. A year ago the weight was coming off without me even trying. I was 18 pounds less. I was comparing what I was eating and its basically the same as now. Only difference I saw was that half the time I didnt have breakfast, just tea. So I'm trying that for the week and I'll see if that makes a difference.3 -
Daily log in for: Monday
Logged: Yes, under
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: 30 minutes strength/cardio workout
Kept on track again yesterday and got more water. I was so tired though! It was tough getting myself to workout, but always feels worth it when I’m done.
@nstephenson01 So cool you saw a moose! When we lived in Colorado, we took a camping trip just to see one. We found them...and my husband got an even more close-up view than he was hoping for!
And I agree with @cyndiesstuff, we do have an awesome supportive team! Let's have a great Tuesday!
