Water: a lot of oz
Steps or exercise: 13535 steps
Good morning everyone. I don't have to work today. Yay! Days off with no Jim are hard for me because i like to eat crap alone. So this day is going to test my new resolve of, "if it is not on the plan, we don't do it". I did well yesterday. I am going to take the weekend as a win because i use to have two days of eating like crap all weekend long. i have gotten it down to one day. the last two weekends have been only one day of not following my plan. i did all my prep work yesterday, made some amazing Cajun shrimp potato chowder, cleaned the frig, got my steps in, drank my water, didn't eat when i wasn't hungry. i had two nsv's yesterday. the first one. on sunday morning we ALWAYS go out to breakfast after grocery shopping. After the s*** show saturday night, sunday morning i was not hungry at all. So like a brave soldier, I just got a glass of water. The waitress ask, are you sure? no i wasnt sure but it was what i was going to do. i sat with the discomfort for about 5 minutes and then said, i am going to enjoy the company of the ole boy. i dont have to have food to do that. Then the second one was, it was late and i had planned a snack, there was one brownie left from the saturday binge. i decided that would be my snack. that then sent my mind reeling. my brain kept saying you need more, that was so good, you can have more, its the weekend, i talked myself out of it. i did not let the binge start! just saying, but my day yesterday was full of yay me's!!!
Your right @phoebe112476 i am getting there for sure. i was impressed with my plan too. i will have it for next time i go out to eat somewhere special. i saved it in my email so i can just pull it up at the restaraunt. now i just need to execute the plan. practice practice practice. love the nsv about the dating site. you are looking great! great job on your hard work. 2019 is going to be our year!!
@GingerPwr lol pizza is my nemesis. and i am not sorry. i am glad i made the mistake that is how we learn how to do it. i am gonna get there. you as well are making great strides in changing into the new you. small steps lead to big progress. if you take the skin off the fried chicken it is less calories. you, my friend, are strong, happy and beautiful!!
@sleepymom5 you gave me the best weekend present ever. that is wonderful. i am so happy that the changes you started to make led to satisfying results. you are proving to yourself that you can stay on track. it is your choice. you made a plan and you did it. WIN. and you already paid me back for picking up the slack by have a great weekend and staying on track. good job. and did you see the note in the captains thread? they are gonna tally totals on monday from now on. boy that solves a lot of headache!!
@Shirin_K yes. i had a great day sunday. i am done beating myself up over mistakes. i now look at them as valuable learning experiences. look at you go girl. got your planning all done and the shopping done. the new you is looking great.
@Cafelelia omgosh. you got it all done. that is wonderful. i am glad you made it thru the emotional stuff. it's freeing once you get started. mmmm peanut butter pie. that looks soooo yummoo
@CassieGetsFit2013 that is just a small gain. you can do this. i know it's tough but you are tougher. how are you doing? you seem to do much better on your weight loss when you check in more often. we miss your input.
@bmaison2014 phew. glad your back i was worried that we lost you. congrats on the new job. be patient with yourself. this is going to be a new routine. one step at a time. you will get in the grove. change is hard but you are strong! great idea about setting out the work out clothes. that way you just have to say "No Choice" yeah i tried making them before too. wasn't good. i don't know what the trick is. and your right steamed veggies was probably a better choice. so it was meant to happen. fate had your back!
@twyla77 you got this girl. thats just a half pound. you have prepped for a successful week. you can do this for sure.
@Mrsbell8well i knew you would enjoy that vacation once you got there. and look at all the self care you did. so important to nourish you mental state as well as your physical state. mmmmmm. you food looks yummmmo

This is just some of the fresh yummy food from my prep yesterday. we went to a farmers market. we don't do that a lot in the winter time because it is a lot more expensive. but jim wanted to splurge. he knows how happy i get when we get fresh fruits and veggies.

@Cafelelia congrats on your major organizing accomplishment. That is such a wonderful achievement. Especially before Spring time. Your set for a fresh start. And I love your skinny pie. Your doing great!
@cyndiesstuff love the photos. Lots of great posts. Very inspiring. Love the breakfast decision. And Jim’s splurge and farmers market to please you. Lovely
@sleepymom5 very exciting that you could have such a successful enjoyable weekend. Good for you!

My intestinal challenges have miraculously cleared. I noticed immediate improvements. According to this system I need to dry out my system. Too oily and wet. Decrease water intake, no oranges, bananas, coconut, pineapple, dates and nuts. And no cold drinks. This pretty much was my morning smoothie. What to eat was pretty much the same. What to eliminate was a big change. After 3 days my system feels normal for the first time in ages. I’m so shocked how simple the solution was. I thought something was really wrong with me. It was depressing to try so hard and still not feel like I was at my healthiest. This health adventure is definitely an ever changing journey.
I am very excited and optimistic. Wow how many times have you all heard me say that? I am very blessed to have such a supportive wife. I cook it she happily eats it. My constitution does not call for much protein but hers does. I’m supposed to be engaged in vigorous activities her not so much. I don’t need more than 6 1/2 hours sleep, she does.
We made out some routines to make sure we both were incorporating systems to help us achieve optimal health.
We are already 1/2 way through February. Isn’t that amazing?
Have a nice day everyone!
Btw...tomorrow begins my first day at the new job. I will definitely be checking in but maybe not as much. Your all in my thoughts everyday.5 -

Heading home so have to clean up and get out. Very pleased with how the weekend went, not perfect but still a success.
@bmaison2014 Sounds like a good day! I can relate to recipes not turning out Lol! I like how you turned it into a healthy meal!
@cyndiesstuff . HUGE NSVs. Especially that last one. I finally have gotten better at not making one bad decision into even more. I can't tell you how many times I made one slip up and used it as an excuse to make poor choices for the rest of the day, week, month...Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. You are a great captain! Love all the fresh food pics!
@Mrsbell8well I am glad that you can see results so quickly. You always learn and adapt so I am sure that you will have a yummy menu together soon for this new way of eating! You are lucky that Molly goes with the flow of what you are eating but she is lucky too. She gets to have all the benefits without having to research and cook! Lol! Good luck tomorrow on your first day! xoxo!

@sleepymom5 - wow great weekend for you! Great job!!! And you had fun too!!
@cyndiesstuff - awesome meal prep!! Looks yummy!! Hope today is a good day - I am at work but hubs has the day off.
@Mrsbell8well - ok what was that website again for your new way of eating? I should really look into it. I hate with age comes so many issues with our bodies. But it's years and years of inflammation which we need to stop now!!
We had a fun weekend, big birthday party with everyone and I had fun cuddling with babies. Little Owen who is 6 weeks old was studying my face and making those cute baby faces. He was very content getting to know grandma! Not much steps yesterday but fun rocking those babies
Hope everyone has an amazing week (and Monday!!)4 -

WTH... I couldn't do 95 more?!?!4 -
Way behind on posts... Hubby has been monopolizing my time with his latest project so I haven't been on here much. We're building a barn which seems like a daunting task but the quote to have someone do it for us was insane. I have zero skills in this area so I'm probably more of a hindrance. My father in law is coming down for a couple days to help so I'll have 2 man children to feed. I'm trying to plan hearty but healthy dinners this week.
Today is our neighborhood ladies luncheon. Its at a sports bar type restaurant which is a little odd but probably about all that's open today. These luncheons used to be an excuse for me to eat something bad but the new me is perusing the menu for something healthy. And I already have an excuse ready when asked why I'm not drinking! Yay me!
So... I need to clean house, do laundry, shovel our daily snow and make time to exercise before the luncheon so gotta run. Oh and its 4 degrees so a dog walk is probably out of the question.
Wishing everyone a great start to the week!7 -
Daily Check in for Sunday
Food Logged & over by 115
Water 800ml

Had some friends over last night & drank some bubbly, which resulted in going over on the calorie budget. I usually avoid alcohol as it is so many calories, but it was fun to hang out & sip some good stuff!
@cyndiesstuff & @Mrsbell8well - those veggies look delicious!
@sleepymom5 - Congrats on having a fun weekend & staying in track with your goals!1 -

I ate a lot of sugar and had too many snacks that were high in carbohydrates. I am so thankful that I stayed the same. We have one more week for this month and I am hoping to be logging in with a loss. Going to a women's retreat Thurs - Sunday and there will be lots of snacks there as well as pizza and eating out at least once. Going to need to stay focused and drink plenty of water.2 -

Dear All,
Apologies for my absence these past 2 weeks and for the impact my gain has had on the team stats. It is the result is the culmination of two weeks of badness. I have been really struggling with motivation since getting over my man flu. A few things have happened over the past few days. Firstly I have realised that I have only 8 weeks to go until I do Sheffield Half Marathon and I need to start training. My mum has been calorie counting and lost a stone. If that doesn't inpsire me to get moving nothing will. I have been doing a declutter of the house Konmari style and I feel so much lighter so now I must do the same for my body. I am going to set msyelf the following goals to get me back on track. Over the next 8 weeks I am aiming to lose 2lbs a week and will eat and exercise towards this aim:-
the workplace sugar ban is back
eating 3 square meals and 1 snack (no grazing)
sticking to my training schedule
lots of water.

I was good this weekend with food. Made a yummy chocolate cake on Friday and limited my self to one slice per day in place of other snacks. Stayed close to my calorie goal - probably a little under with the exercise calories added back in.
@Mrsbell8well have a great first day on your job tomorrow
@amsandos you have a good plan - be good and stick to it

We made it home and unpacked. Doing the first of many loads of laundry. Groceries and meal planning done. Getting ready to settle in for some time relaxing on the couch. Excited to have my food scale (and my person scale for that matter) back!
@eminater - Awesome progress further into ONEderland!
@amsandos - Love the fact that you made such a detailed plan. Glad you are part of the team, no shame in being here during gains. We can all learn from and be inspired by your journey.
@bmaison2014 - Great progress. I also find success in logging all my foods and trying to move more. I have not really focused on water intake yet. Do you find that particular piece helpful? How so?
@nstephenson01 - Love the fact that you identified a struggle but found a way to plan differently and still enjoy that time with the neighbors. Awesome! How did it turn out in the end?
@sleepymom5 - Awesome to hear your weekend went so well. Sounds like your plan went very well. I love a good plan!
@CassieGetsFit2013 - You has a big loss last week. When I see such a big drop. I usually get a slight increase in the following days to weeks. Great overall process the last few weeks. How did you like the yoga you had planned a few weeks ago? How are you doing?
@Cafelelia - I started working on tidying our house and we made good progress, but it stalled out. I need to make a plan to get more movement again. Congrats on completing yours! I am going to try to follow suit soon.
@Shirin_K - I love meal planning and target. Made me jealous reading that. : )
@cyndiesstuff - Love the fresh produce. Yum!
@Mrsbell8well - Glad to hear you are feeling better so fast. Interested to get further updates about your new eating plan in the days/weeks ahead.

Feeling bloated today with all the sodium from the fried chicken. Ugh. It was delicious, but I'm paying for it.
Edging in on about 90 oz of water today, so hoping to flush out the water weight. Hubster is making me a small salad as I type. It's a relief now to be able to say that I know what has caused the slight gain and that I know how to address it. That alone is so empowering, and it gives me motivation to keep moving forward instead of just giving up or freaking out.
@bmaison2014 CONGRATULATIONS on your promotion!!!
@Mrsbell8well I'm a size 10 right now, but I wrestled myself into a pair of size 8 skinny jeans the other day. But 10s fit without creating a muffin top. I was wearing some 12 dress pants to work today and they were practically falling off - It was frustrating in the most wonderful way.
@Cafelelia We did a big clean up of our bedroom and living room this weekend. It feels like I can breathe easier now!5 -

@phoebe112476 I notice the days I drink a lot of water I do less snacking and drink less coffee. I don’t crave sodas or sweet tea like I use to. I only have one occasionally and after a few sips it’s way too sweet.3
