No hugs, please. I know better than eating what I've eaten the last few nights. Restaurants with friends and glasses of wine do not a diet plan make. This is squarely on me and my choices.2 -

Your accountability will get you back on track in no time. Meanwhile, hope you enjoyed your time with your friends!1 -
Check in for: Thursday
Logged food yes and under
Water: 65 oz
Steps or exercise: 10,008 steps, 45 min Leslie Sansone video and PT
Good day yesterday. I actually got my exercise in before work. Ate well, drank my water, hit my steps..Today was great, boy there is something about being distracted and not being "hungry" . I was working from home all day and just sucked into the computer. I was getting up to walk around while I was on the phone but I didn't think about eating until it was time for lunch. And then again until dinner...I had a boring day-no snacks and lunch and dinner were leftovers from last night Lol! It was good but I am bloated. Does zucchini do that?
On another note. My friend who had the stroke was moved to rehab. She is eating and talking. She is getting PT, OT and speech therapy. She is moving her left side a little and must be bearing weight because she is using a walker with assistance. I think her family is only telling us the good things. Her sister mentioned to me that she pulled out her catheter one day, and got out of bed and fell another day and right before she was being moved she used her cell phone to call her husband to come bring her home. All of those makes me think
she may be confused. To make things worse, her husband's mother died. She lived in his childhood home in North Jersey. He is an only child so everything is on him. I feel so bad for him. At least she is closer to us so when he comes up from Georgia, we can help him here. I just feel so helpless.
@cyndiesstuff That is awesome that you don't have to use your vacation days and you can go on your honeymoon! Something to look forward to after your surgery. I never thought about it but it is good you are kicking Ed to the curb before you are homebound for your recovery. It seems like you are making great strides. You are doing great!
@twyla77 thank you for posting the steps
@pacsnc6 That's ok, drink some water and flush it out. I had the same problem on the scale today.
@amsandos I hope you got yourself out for your workout! You have been doing so well! Keep it going!
@Cafelelia Nice loss! Hope you feel better soon!
@carlsoda It is good that you know what you need to change. Sugar is tough but it makes such a difference when you don't eat it. I know you will turn it around. Great idea to look back over your journal
@hope002 Nice loss and with being on vacation! Guess you were getting plenty of exercise! Glad you are still with us, I was afraid we lost you!
@Shirin_K I have to check into those videos. I see a lot of people posting them. Hope you have a great weekend!
@lennoncpa Hope all is going well!
@kirsten11872 Great plan!
@DananaNanas Don't let the scale get you down if you have been doing well. It can be so many things. Hormones def. can do that. Enjoy your weekend. Good idea to have some healthy snacks with you. If you can check out the menu before you go out that would be helpful but I know at those types of things plans are spur of the moment.
@Mrsbell8well I am stressing over here because I don't know who Hannah is! Lol! God forbid I don't know someone! Lol! I am so happy you love your new job! It also sounds like a fun weekend planned. Good luck with the decorating, I am sure Hannah will love it. Have fun on the double date. I hope it goes well. It is going to be at a Mexican place right? Enjoy!
I also love hearing how well your early mornings are going. I think if I got my exercise done early it would make my day go better. Not 4:15 early Lol but maybe 6ish...
@eyesopennow I am hugging you anyway! I agree with @GingerPwr, accountability shows you are ready to get back on track! Let's do this!

Night one was ok. Went out with my hotel roomie and got a drink and a black bean burger with a salad instead of fries. Very filling but hopefully not too bad.. I didn’t eat much other than that today.5

@cyndiesstuff don't worry I got straight back on it.
@sleepymom5 l think you are awesome the way you find time to encourage and support folks with everything going on. You are a star.
Friday check-in
Food logged under with exercise
Water I have no idea
Exercise run 30mins weights
Had the day off so took lo for a cousin playdate and we picked a pic nic. Stayed on target even with my mum feeding me biscuits (cookies). It appears that my scales are broken either that or I am 124 lbs and the 160lbs one minute later. Talk about raising hopes then crushing them. It is ok. Picking up my running again after the break is proving difficult but if I want to enjoy my race I have to put the work in.3 -

Haven't been motivated to do much this week. Really feeling a slump but I'm still working on portion control. I'm planning a workout schedule and menu for the week. The hubs and I have decided our March goal is to add 2 more servings of fruits and vegetables to our daily diet.
Stay focused through the weekend!4 -

@sleepymom5 you are so funny. Hannah is my daughters boyfriends daughter. My mom and I have a reputation for our decorating. Last summer mom and I redecorated my daughters living room and kitchen. Hannah was so impressed she asked us to do her bedroom for her birthday which was on Valentine’s Day. It’s a lot of work and we are officially over budget after last nights last shopping trip. She requested turquoise white and silver. I am praying we get it done in 1 day. I will take a picture to post. Were pretty anxious to get it put together. So many fun beautiful things we have for her.
Yesterday was a very long day. I am feeling so energized by my 2 teams. We all work extremely well together and I can feel the difference that I am making in their confidence and skills.
I had a really delicious eating day. Started w turmeric tea. Breakfast medicinal mushroom tea with soy milk, honey and cinnamon. Snack strawberries and non dairy yogurt. Lunch 3 bean spicy chili with roasted potatoes (trying to recreate a baked potato stuffed w chili) vegan sour cream with cilantro and green onions. A super delicious corn muffin (I created a vegan gluten free recipe), and a pear on my way home.
Dinner was already prepped but I skipped it to go shopping. I wasn’t hungry at the time. Got home and felt very hungry but too exhausted to really eat. I thought about our team and accountability and wanting to lose that last pound this month and going to bed on a full tummy...decided it was best to sleep not eat. Felt very happy w my decision this morning. I can hear @cyndiesstuff voice in my head telling us it’s ok to feel hungry.
Enjoy your weekend everyone!!!3 -

on my way home from work, jim calls, hey lets go to Chaps. I'm game. stopped and got my car washed and then met jim at chaps. it was a nice dinner. jim was in a great mood. the restaurant was full. and jim was full of his usual wise cracks. i was going to test my resolve last nite. i ordered nachos. now you all don't know this but Chaps nachos come out on a place the size of a serving plater!! it was loaded, tomatoes, green onions, taco burger, black olives, and the best ewy gooey spicy cheese in the world. now, it normally comes on chips, but i asked if they could put it on a salad instead. the waitress looked confused. and so did jim. jim got his normal friday all you can eat deep fried cod. ohhhhh their fish is YUMMO. i was very mindful. i ate to a 3, instead of my normal 2. and then i pushed the plate away. i sat and chatted with jim about his day while he gorged himself on fish. he had 8 pieces. i was very mindful of his food too!. i came home and had one of my homemade ice cream (blended banana and peanut butter between to gram cracker halves) sandwiches for desert. i really enjoyed my evening. even watching jim maw down on fish and the restaurant buzz with excited patrons. busy day today. my goal? to stick to the plan.
@kirsten11872 good job on your fresh start. you got this girl. 2019 is going to be our year.
@DananaNanas don't beat your self up Dana, I am taking your bat away. it is not allowed. start working on your relationship with food and drink. you got this girl. and good job at going to get some snacks to take with you. i am hoping your weekend goes well to. you could use a win. show up for yourself this weekend. Dana's important.
@Mrsbell8well lol about your first week. i am so glad you love your new job so far. you are building a great new you. she is amazing. good job. i like to get up early and get stuff done too. i find it way easier that waiting till after work. you and i get up about the same time. and you get up as jim is leaving for work! i get up 15 minutes later. i spend 15 minutes meditating. lol this morning tho i fell back to sleep. slept till 5:55. i must have needed it. that usually does not happen for me. and i love molly's saying, mine is it is just what i do. how is molly's mom? i know you said she is now in hospice. this is a very emotion time. i am praying for swiftness of whatever gods plan is. i really wish you lived closer, i would love you and your mom to help me decorate. i am void of most style. instead of doing something hideous, i choose the minimalistic approach of doing nothing!! lol. i bet you woke up hungry this morning. whats really funny is you have @cyndiesstuff s voice in your head now! looks like my job here is done!!
@eyesopennow friend to friend, i think you and i both have similar issues with food. have you looked into counseling for help? i know it's not a guy thing, but your brain can get sick too. learning new ways to deal with food and drink can really help with weight loss. it can be freeing. this is worth the fight. but you need to fight all of it, not just the calories in and calories out but the faulty neuro pathways as well. and i know you don't want it. again its not a guy thing, but it is a girl thing so big hugz buddy! we think you rock and are worth it.
@sleepymom5 yay pam. you completed so many credit worth acts yesterday. spend some time really thinking about how that feels. and lets talk about your boring day. if you found it really boring, why? what do you need to add into your day so you don't fill it with food when your bored. ahhh, see? cyndie is the girl with deep questions these days!! i am glad to hear about your friend and her journey in recovery. maybe the stroke ruined a part of her brain as well. and i am working really hard. Shut up ED! nobody needs you. go to your room if your not going to be helpful.
@amsandos i'll take the 124 please!! i told you that scale like to mess with your head. time to throw it away and get a new one! nobody needs all that drama.
@FieryVixsin we are not worried about 5 minutes! nice loss this week. keep it up. how are you doing?
@GingerPwr what a great march goal. when you look at my plate after i fill it with food. it is 1/2 fruits and veggies, 1/4 protein and 1/4 carbs. i always start eating with the fruits and veggies first, that way i am not as hungry when i move on to the other two. focus focus focus. that is the plan this weekend.

lets talk about planning for just a minute and then i have to go. why do you need to create it and write it down? you say you want to be spontaneous? Hows that worked for you in the past? or your make a plan but don't write it down. I can ask you the same question, hows that worked for you in the past? you can still be spontaneous with a plan. look at yesterday for me. that was a win and today my written plan is sitting on my kitchen counter. Make a plan and write it down people! it works.5
