saturday check in
food on target
water on target
exercise 9888 steps
fancied some chinese yesterday so I had some and took it out of my calorie budget. I don't have high hopes for my weight in tomorrow as I have come on my period and I am usually a bit heavier. Although if I don't lose I will get a bumper loss next week so that will be something to look forward to.4 -
Saturday check in
Food calorie wise was good but low on protein
Water - good for a weekend
Steps - 10,000 ish but no yoga
Yesterday was a fun day - we waited and waited for the snow to start but it rained pretty heavy until 4:00 pm then the snow finally came. What a blessing we only ended up with like 5 inches of snow! Today is super windy but at least not freezing cold. Planning to just hang around the house and let the road crew do their work!
Yesterday let’s see, I organized most of my closet Marie Kondo style, cooked and cooked and cooked, had a cat sleeping on me for about an hour. Yeah - fun day!
Today I need to do some sewing - retrofitting a dress I bought at a consignment shops (Talbots 100% wool long dress) for 2 bucks but there is a strange bow tie thingy around the neck I am going to shorten and make into a draped scarf instead. It will be super warm for next winter! Oh and I need to do yoga, my body is telling me so!
Have a great Sunday!2 -
I haven't had much time to chat. The barn project has taken priority over all other things. I've been really active, good on steps and logging as much as I can. Mostly I'm trying to listen to my body and feed it nutritious foods as much as possible. Nonetheless my weight is up 2 pounds this morning. My husband and father in law are putting in really long days so dinners are heartier than usual. FIL doesn't have the adventurous palate my husband does so I'm cooking a lot of basic, manly meat and potato type stuff. Friday I made my mother's spaghetti recipe... I know I went a bit overboard that night but it was such nice comfort food. Although FIL has mellowed in his old age he has very definite opinions about certain things. I learned a long time ago not to engage in his vitriol. I may have turned on the exhaust fan over the stove a couple of times to tune him out... I'm very grateful for the help he can provide my husband... I sure can't do that type of stuff. They hope to have a roof on the barn at the end of the week and I'll be glad when FIL can return home.
Exercise is scheduled in my calendar for the week and I'm planning dinners. Gotta head out and take some water to the guys. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone. Get those plans in place for the week!!3 -

Well, yesterday was a pretty good day. I am almost finished with the cross stitch kit - just have back stitches to outline everything. I walked around the house A LOT as it was still cold and gray outside. Watched UNC beat Duke in basketball last night (yay!)
I woke up way too early - 5 AM - and couldn't go back to sleep so I read for an hour or so. I ate too much but it didn't really fill me up too much - maybe just higher calorie than I usually eat. I was feeling sleepy by 9:30 so I lay in bed reading for a while, asleep by 10. Must have been really tired as I slept until 8 this morning.
Today is warmer but still gray outside. Took a walk to check out the new house being built nearby. It is three stories with a garage and storage on bottom. Would not want to have to climb all those stairs several times a day!
Here's to a great Sunday and a new week.2 -
sunday daily checkin
food on target
water on target
exercise 90min run
Listening to PNP as I did my food prep and I was reevaluating my list of changes that I am willing to do. Not eating the LO's leftover has gone really well as has drinking my water apart from that blip on the one day but I caught up. So I have set myself some new goals. Goals that I felt were too difficult last week are seeming more possible. 1. leave at least fork full of food from every meal to get me used to not clearing my plate. 2 have a 15 minute break after class before going back to the office or if I am on an office day taking at least 15 minutes to have a lunch break. It should really be an hour but let's see if I can build up to it. The plan is to do a short vinyasa after the school have gone so that I don't need my afternoon snack. I think on reflection I have this snack because I am tired rather than hungry. If I can find other ways to boost my energy than that would be great.
@CassieGetsFit2013 way to go great loss.

Did a 3 mile / 40 minute Leslie Sansone video this morning and she used fitness bands which was so fun! And i also did a tricep workout which sucked lol. I never really think about my triceps but clearly i should!5 -
Nice weekend. I didn't get as much done as I planned but I caught up with the things I fell behind with last week and I got what I needed to get done to be ready for this weekend so it was a success in my book. The shower went well. I ate until I was satisfied. I threw out 1/2 of my cake! And it was good cake too! That is big for me! I drove to the shower so after I dropped everyone off I went food shopping for the week. I really like having a plan for the week and getting stuff ready so the week is a little easier. Since Shannon is gone and no one is interested in my healthy cooking, I got some frozen Atkins dinners and will have them with a salad or over spinach. Not sure how that will go but it will be easy and quick clean up. Off to bed, I am going to continue getting up early to get my Leslie video in before work.
Congratulations to @kirsten11872 @hkfleming and @carlsoda Our 1st, 2nd and 3rd place "losers" last week
@amsandos I am going to join you with leaving some food on my plate this week. I need to work on that too. I think you have a great plan for the week. Little changes add up.
@carlsoda I am so glad that you didn't get the snow predicted. Still sounds like a lot to me Lol! Sounds like you had a great weekend!
@nstephenson01 It is pretty cool your husband can do that kind of project! Hopefully the project goes on schedule and your guest will be on his way home soon. It is tough to have guests so long, especially when they have strong personalities. You will be back to your normal routines before you know it. Hugs!
@CassieGetsFit2013 Nice loss! Hope all is well .
@pacsnc6 Sounds like you had a nice weekend. Hope the sun is out for you tomorrow!
@Twyla77 Nice loss! I need to expand my leslie videos . I never saw the one with the fitness bands!4 -

I was so excited all day on Friday to have a whole weekend off after at least 4 in a row during which I was working or we were traveling. So excited. Turns out I forgot I had to work this weekend. Ugh. Big giant disappointment. And a good win - in my giant disappointment I did not have the urge to eat my feelings. Yay! Luckily, it was relatively slow and I did get caught up on some things around the house.
Even with the last minute change my diet stayed right on point due to my routines. Glad for that ease. And I did manage to sneak in an extra Yoga class today.
I over ate for the first time in awhile at dinner tonight. Not stuffed and terribly uncomfortable - but definitely ate too much. In analyzing here is what I discovered: my normal dinner routine limits my calories by planning 400-500 and weighing the portions. Then I eat all that is on my plate. Has worked well and I don’t really think about it after it is on my plate (all the thinking comes before that point). I just eat my portion. Tonight the recipe portion of MFP was down and I had made homemade bread (for the first time in my life). I estimated and when I finished (so very yummy) - I felt too full. Later when the recipe was back up and I added things in I realized I ate 700 calories for my dinner. I had plenty of calories to cover and just cut my night snack back to accommodate. I felt fuller longer so that was an interesting lesson. All this to say that in time I need to focus more on fullness and less on weighing /finishing my portions. Important lesson that was actually appreciated. But I am not ready yet. I will be and noting these things slowly paves the way for that day.
My weight had been very “stable” (replacing the word stuck -lol) for about 10 days, but came down the last two. This was another very good lesson. Had been sitting in some anxiety to see the scales lately. But I knew I was on plan completely and the scales would follow. Hoping I know it even better next time so I don’t have to sit in the anxiety.
@amsandos - Love your term “bumper loss” and your thinking about this process of “stable” weights I also love your three goals and feel the inspiration I need leading up to me making similar goals in the coming weeks. Thanks for sharing!
@CassieGetsFit2013 - Nice loss. Hope you are doing well.
@sleepymom5 - Glad to hear the shower went well and your daughter is feeling better. What a win about the cake!! I know that would be so huge for me. Such a healthy (but hard) thing to do. Yay you! Thinking like a thin person.
Time change throwing off my sleep schedule. Always takes me a few weeks to adjust. Need to get sleep now. Attaching photo of my so very yummy 700 cal dinner tonight. Will eat less in one sitting next time. 6 -
CassieGetsFit2013 Great loss!
@sleepymom5 You're my hero for throwing away cake! I'm going to a baby shower today at a cookie place. Not really a sweets person anymore, so I'm hoping to easily side step the temptations.
So, I discovered this weekend that self control is a thing I still need to work on. Went over Friday AND Sunday and didn't drink nearly enough water. BUT, Hubster enjoyed his birthday weekend and we had lots of fun. Improvement-wise, I still got in exercise this weekend even though TOM had arrived. In the past I'd just ball up on the couch and eat and complain. This weekend I did an HIIT workout on Saturday and hit golf balls; Sunday I did yoga and a short walk. So despite my shortcomings I still want to focus on ways I'm getting better.
I'm at the halfway point of the 100 ab challenge and am seeing some positive changes there.
Happy Monday everyone!!!

week 2

So that is me in the 130s. This is deeply exciting for me. In Britain we count in stones and lbs which would make me 9st 13lbs which means I now have a single figure figure. It is not time to rest on my Laurels though. This weekend is my birthday weekend I plan to fully enjoy my weekend and also get a loss. Instead of eating birthday treats over and beyond what I would usually eat I am going to include my birthday treats in my daily budgets. This marks an important shift in my thinking.
Well done to the big losers @kirsten11872 @hkfleming and @carlsoda9 -
I really enjoyed all the weekend posts. I had planned to do a quick update but got sidetracked reading up on everyone.
I did some cooking and food prepping yesterday. High temp of 67 yesterday. At 53 degrees took Lula Mae with me on my run. We end by running up a big hill. She hates that hill. Had to drag her as I continued my attempts at running it w a 55 pound dog dragging her paws.
I told Molly I would skip work and go with her today back to Richmond.
We woke up to find a text her mom passed last night at 11pm. Thanks for all the prayers everyone.
Molly and I will leave shortly to be with her mom and family members.5 -
Check in for: Sunday
Logged food: no but I think I was on track
Water: 64 oz
Exercise and Steps: 45 min Leslie Sansone video and 11,243 steps
Weekend wasn't too bad, wish I was a little more productive but kept up with exercising and ate pretty well. I do have a plan for the week for exercise and food so I am ready. Got to go or I won't be able to do my walking video!
@phoebe112476 Ugh! That stinks about work. I am glad it all worked out and the routines you have set in motion didn't get disrupted. I am working on getting routines in place too. It does make things easier. Your dinner looks amazing! I am also working on the eating until satisfied. I am having a hard time. I am just going to plug away until I get it down.
@amsandos Nice loss! You are doing great! Besides the loss in the stones, you are almost a 50lbs here! That is amazing! You are going to do great your birthday weekend. You have a great plan! You can eat on plan AND enjoy!
@Mrsbell8well I am so sorry to hear that Molly's mom passed. I will keep you all in my prayers. I hope Molly doesn't feel badly she wasn't there when her Mother passed. I was a Hospice nurse for two years. Some people seemed to hang on for people traveling to see them and would pass as soon as the person got there and some people seemed to wait for their loved ones to leave. She spent a lot of time with her mom when she was sick and when she was dying. She is an awesome daughter. Hugs to all of you!3 -

Happy Monday everyone! A new week to make good choices and get closer to our goals.
Sunday Check in:
Food: Good
Water: didn't drink enough
Steps: 8,000 but I did do 20 minutes of yoga
Another weekend gone and missing my hour with the day light savings time. It didn't bother me yesterday but it was hard to wake up this morning.
Snow should disappear this week...or at least some of it. Wednesday and Thursday will be in the 40's with heavy rain. There's talk about flooding since the ground is frozen solid. We'll just need to wait and see what happens!
@Mrsbell8well - so sorry to hear about Molly's mom. Prayers going your way. She's lucky to have such a supportive spouse!
@sleepymom5 - so proud of you for throwing away the cake. See if it was me, I wouldn't be able to stop. I just need to stay away which is hard!
@GingerPwr - gosh I so wish I was not a sweets person. Maybe one day?? Hoping!!
Have a great Monday!!3 -
We’re here in Richmond. It’s almost 1 o’clock. I ate a pear and applesauce so far. I packed lots of food. I’m concerned about over eating. Thought I would do a quick post to help hold myself accountable. Wednesday weigh in is quickly approaching.
I know I can be here for Molly and family and still stay on plan.
I can and I will. Ok now I will go eat lunch and make wise choices.4 -
Hello everyone! Hope you all had a good weekend and adjusted to the time change. We overslept this morning, woke up an hour late. Mu hubby jumped out of bed, took a shower and headed out to work. I had to get my son up for school, which is never an easy task, and then I got myself ready for work. Got in a few minutes late, but not too bad.
I was very happy with my weigh-in on Saturday! I worked out Friday night, cut it a little short, went out to dinner with my in laws. I ate later then I wanted with IF, but it was fine. I stayed away from the bread, had 1 glass of wine and grilled scallops and some grilled asparagus, it was very good. Woke up Saturday morning, later than I planned, but got my workout done.
I was good all weekend. I worked out yesterday, hit the elliptical for an hour, came home and did laundry. My mom made lasagna for dinner last night, it was so good! She makes it with ground turkey, I do not eat pork or red meat. The scale was up a little this morning, I was a little surprised because my weekend went so well, but I am on track and should see another loss on Saturday. I am in the zone!
@Mrsbell8well so sorry about Molly's mom! My prayers are with you all! xo
@cyndiesstuff I hope you are feeling better!
@sleepymom5 glad your daughter is doing well! Hopefully she is good going forward!
Step counts:
3/8:16,569
3/9:14,596
3/10:15,929
Food is prepped for the day! I am thankful I got everything ready last night, or I would have been trying to get everything together this morning in a mad rush, no bueno!
Have a wonderful day & week! Thanks for all the congrats on my weight loss!
