Check in for: Friday
Logged food: Yes and under
Water: at least 64 oz
Steps or exercise: 10,509 steps 20 min walk with Charlie and 45 min (3 mile) walking video.
I have two good days under my belt, my weight is back where it was. I wish my weigh in day was today Lol! I am hitting my exercise, step, water and logging goals. Oh and NO SNACKS all day yesterday! Just one day but I didn't think of it once. I also was hungry for lunch and I had to walk Charlie. I ate part of my lunch and then said I would finish when I came back. Guess what? I have a better understanding what "satisfied" is. I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat when I came home. And I "didn't die or get pregnant" lol! I also lasted to dinner with no snacking. It wasn't too hard because I was focused on work. It is a start.
I have been overwhelmed this week and looking at my schedule for March, that isn't going to change. Hopefully as I become comfortable with this job, I won't feel so overwhelmed. I am basically through the first phase of this job, scheduling. It is harder than you would think. I have 3 stragglers that are giving me the run around. Now to phase two, going to the sites to extract the info and enter it in the computer. I actually went to my first site this week with a co worker to show me the ropes. I am done after this phase if they don't find anything I need to go back for. I have till the end of April to get this done but I have scheduled all my sites in March. I have made it clear that I am done after this caseload and I don't want more work because April is open Lol! While this is going on, I decided the weekends need to be for me, for now at least. I will clean so I don't have that hanging over my head, I will make my plan for the week, read and listen to podcasts for me(not work related), enjoy my exercise, not rush to get it in. I am undecided on shopping. I am so used to going during the weekdays that I am not sure I am up for being in the crowds. I am feeling very positive after a not so positive week.
I also had bunco last night and made an excuse not to go. I was crabby from work and to be honest, didn't feel like dealing with the temptations. I feel bad but am thinking I could have gone if I wasn't crabby and I had a plan. I don't want to miss out on fun things because of what is being served. Next weekend we are going to NYC for an overnight with college friends. I almost said no to that too. I decided to look at the menu and there are several healthy options. I also can do my 3 drink rule there, who would think after our college years this crowd isn't really big drinkers. We are meeting early to watch the Villanova game (that is where we went to college) in a bar but these friends could care less if I have water. In fact, a few of them will be too. I also should have time to exercise before I go and when I get back Sunday.
Ok, I am getting long winded. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! xo
@DananaNanas That sounded very healthy! Successful night!
@amsandos . Thank you! Sounds like a good day, I saw you got yourself out for a run even though you weren't feeling like it! Hopefully your scale is an easy fix like a new battery.
@FieryVixsin No worries, I jumped the gun. I didn't realize how early I posted that. I usually post later. You weren't late. Nice loss! Hope all is going well.
@Gingerpwr It always seems easier with a plan. You are setting yourself up for a good week. Love the goal for March to add more fruits and veggies!
@Mrsbell8well Your menu yesterday sounded delish! I can't wait to see Hannah's room. Post pics! Looking forward to hearing about the blind date tonight too. Do you know what you are going to order?
@cyndiesstuff What a fun evening and even more exciting that you stayed on track! I would love the recipe for you ice cream sandwiches. They sound good. This weekend I have time to make a plan and do things for me. I plan to re read the hunger chapters, listen to the podcast while I clean and stick to my eating and exercising plan.
@lenka1 Nice loss and amazing steps as always!
@Zumba_Luvah I am so happy for you! I never lose that much in a week so I can feel your joy! You worked hard all week and you got the results! Congrats on being in Onderland too! I hope to join you there soon. I have 3 lbs to go! Take this feeling and use it as motivation to keep this going! Hugs!!

Good morning! Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has posted about the walking videos and other workout videos on Youtube - it's opened up a whole new world to me lol! I knew I wouldn't be able to get to the gym today as I've got a hectic day, so I woke up early and did "Jessica Smith's HIIT for Beginners: Walking Interval Cardio Workout" followed by "Blogilates Total Body Stretch" video!
Up until last month I didn't have internet or a computer in my apartment - I am on the computer all day at work as I am in marketing/PR/Social Media, so I liked to come home and not look at a screen, but I really wanted to watch all these Netflix shows everyone was talking about lol, so I caved in and got Internet! So far I have done my fair share of Netflix binge watching (it's been a very cold month!) but I've also discovered how many workouts and tips and healthy recipes are right at my fingertips! My favourite discovery is definitely Cassie Ho who hosts the "Blogilates" YouTube channel! She's so cute and fun and has so many different workouts, and lots of "apartment friendly" cardio workouts which is perfect for me.
Oh - and it's also a completely different world signing in to MFP from an actual computer instead of my phone like I usually do - I can actually see all your profile pics and cute faces at a normal size instead of tiny little circles!
(My library card and Book Club friends might be sad about my new Internet romance, though! Who needs books when I have all 10 seasons of "Friends" that I can rewatch on Netflix!?)
Have a great weekend, everyone!9 -
@sleepymom5 I use mini chocolate chips instead. and i use chocolate gram crackers. I also like to add a little vanilla

Check in for: Saturday
Ate to satisfied: yup ate to plan
Water: 68 oz
Steps or exercise: 13652 steps
I got all the laundry done yesterday. I cleaned the house. I went to my folks house. and i got the grocery list and food plan for the week made. It was a good day. I used a lot of positive self talk. my parents house is a trigger to eat. the first thing i use to do when i got there was go in the frig and see what they had to eat. mom always offered junk from there snack cabinet. i declined moms offer and i did not go to the frig. mom asked if i was feeling ok and i said i felt great. that situation i just described sounded easy. to people who don't know me. but in my head, ED was hard at work, telling me to eat. I explained to ED that i was not hungry and that mom would be fine if i did not eat. and low and behold she was. everytime ED spoke up, i just answered him, I am fine. and moved on with what i was doing. i am learning to ignore ED and he is getting more subdued. came home and had my snack that i had planned for and then finished the work for the day. it gets easier and easier every time. This time is the last time I will lose this weight.
@nstephenson01 hey girl how's it going in the snow land? getting that barn built? how is it going with hubby? does he know when he gets his next assignment?
I woke up early this morning. I couldn't sleep. layed there quietly thinking about my wedding day. we will be going to the court house and be married by the judge. not a big to do but it is big to me. the people that will be there are my mom and dad, my two sons (i am flying in my youngest for the occasion), me and jim (of course, lol), and jims son and daughter-in-law, and his daughter. i am going to get an up do for the day and i was thinking about asking jim's daughter and daughter in law if they would like up do's too. we could make it a thing. you know a memory. what do you think? is it to corny? i want to build a relationship with jims children and i think this would be a nice way to reach out. since there were not a whole lot of people to respond to this morning, i am off. i am going to listen to a podcast i think.
oh yea, and i figured out part of the reason i start to binge. it is because i am tired. now when i am at home and i get tired i will take a nap, go to bed, make some tea, tend my plants. but my problem is i can't figure out what to do when i get tired at work. you guys all know what my job is like. boring!!!! what do i do at work when i get tired? my go to always has been eat hard candies out of the candy dish. i am not going to do that any more. but i need to figure out something else to do about being tired. i could get a tea at work, but i am not sure that would wake me back up. reading puts me to sleep. so that is out of the question. i can only listen to so many podcasts. im stumped. any suggestions?
told you i couldn't sleep! lol, my mind has been racing all morning. thats what is crazy tho, my mind doesn't race with bad thoughts, it thinks about EVERYTHING. ughhhh.....

@lenka1 your in the 30’s...wow fantastic job of staying with. What an accomplishment!
@Zumba_Luvah oh my @cyndiesstuff is going to be doing lots of her crazy celebration dances! How wonderful for you. Just think you never have to see the 200’s ever again.2 -
@cyndiesstuff I just love everything about your nacho story. It becomes very interesting watching others eat. But it’s great to participate and not be left out. Your really doing an amazing job.
I still think you should start writing a book or poetry during your down time. Start a blog? Is there anything you could create that’s work related? Calling all 100 of your top clients? Learn a second language? Do a crossword? Soduko? Molly bought me a crossword color book for Christmas that I love. Get creative looking for a new job. Write a new resume targeted to what you might like to do?
I love the idea of all updos. How sweet and fun!
Any ideas on the honeymoon?
I love your success story at your moms. The one big thing I have learned...nobody cares! At least not as much as I do.
Eat don’t eat...drink don’t drink...it’s only a brief amount of time we deal with these decisions and occasions. But our decisions have huge impact on not just our physical outcomes but our mental as well.
@sleepymom5 your stringing your successes. I find it helps to set an accountability date. When WILL you be at 199? My mini target dates really help me stay the course.
@twyla77 I love your post. I’m going to ck out your recommendation.2 -
Hannah’s room is absolutely beautiful! We were not able to finish. So close. I need another hour or two to put her personal items back in. I will post before and after later today.
I was able to come home and sleep for 20 minutes before the date.
Our blind date set up seems to be a success. It was so much fun. I have known Dave for 18 years. Mary is my client. I don’t really know her very well.
I knew ahead of time what I was ordering. Soft corn tortilla tacos with avocado rice and beans. The plate was 5 tacos and no sides. But I like the sides so I ordered sides of rice and beans also. No dairy. No beer and no hot crispy chips. But you know what...I didn’t care. I ate my beans, 2 tacos and 1/2 the rice. We boxed up the rest. We eat till satisfied right???
After we tried to go bowling but they were booked up. Went to our house and played couples trivial pursuit. Had a really nice evening. I hope it works out for them...and us. Everyone was enthusiastic about meeting up again.
We agreed that Sunday’s are going to be for me to regroup. I was too stimulated to sleep last night. Gave my permission to sleep in today.
Molly is at hospital this morning with her mom. Not sure what’s happening. Mom and I will go back this afternoon to finish the room.
OF’s at church. I have the quiet house to myself.
Take care all. Enjoy this glorious Sunday!!!
