@veggieonly ~ You’ve been missed. And wow! Yes, great progress while on trips. Keep doing it! Happy for you.
@jwall309 ~ hopefully, BF is the spice of your life. LOL Yeah…. Candles! Did you get your walk in?
@JamieD328 ~ keep working at it those, lbs will come off. Let us know how/if we can help! <<hugs>>
@Tomkinsone~ You are going to be busy! Make smart choices and get in as much walking as you can! Do you have any “plans” in place to keep on track or strategies? Pack healthy snacks for the drive to Florida and be sure to use menus you can find online to dine out. Or heck… pack a cooler! LOL Saves, money, too. You can do it!
And with regards to the April challenge, it will end on Sat., April 27th. So you would miss one week early in May’s Challenge (hopefully they keep it going.)
@Fitgirllife72~ Another Yesday for you!!
@MaelynMayhem~ A good visit to the dietitian AND your clothes are falling off. How exciting! Walnuts sound like a smart snack. I love nuts on my salads, but we have a hard time eating proper portions. You are inspiring my friend!
@ajaia2001~ Yes! Another good day!
@Gustaaf85~ “bulk up” meaning you want your muscle mass to increase. Sounds like you did if your fat went down and your weight went up. (!??) Are you competing to want to bulk up?

Daily Post (Wednesday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Over
Water: getting better but still need to be drinking more
Exercise: Quick walk to and from the grocery store
Day: Was a better day today. The weather here is really getting very nice and I am looking forward to the end of the week and the weekend. Had a good weigh-in so I'm feeling ok today.
@johicks We didn't do a long walk, but we did end up walking to the grocery store to grab a bagged salad to eat with dinner, so even though it was only about 15 minutes total, I'll still count it as achieving a walk for the day! Baby steps1 -
@johicks - the trick with nuts is to measure before you eat.

Right!! But just have g them in the house is hard. I am doing better at measuring other items before eating. AND doing really good at reading labels before considering eating it.

Daily Post 4/18 (Thursday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Limit: 1500/Actual: 1345
Water: 31
Exercise: Zombies, Run! version of couch to 5K week 3, day 2 (43 minutes); Zombies, Run! (36 minutes; walked additional minutes to reach an hour)
Day: I ran a lot more during all three free form runs on the 5K training. I felt woozy again in the middle and going forward with it. I have glucose tabs coming tomorrow, and I will see if that will help. It was four hours since I ate when I started and hour before I normally eat lunch. I was also a little dizzy on my walk but that turned out to be asthma related and went away once I used my inhaler. The rest of my day went well. My aide stood by while I stood on a chair (she's not allowed to climb on things) and cleaned the ceiling fans and the blind in the bedroom. Tomorrow I go to a food pantry for my dwindling food supplies.0 -

Daily Post (Thursday 4/18)
Track: Yes.. but
(see below)
Calories: Yes; OVER!! (see below)
Exercise: 2 machines and a quick walk, 41 minutes.
Daily Goals:
Good day, but the evening went poorly to it put it mildly. Emotions took over.. Anger is hard to get out of system. And now I woke up and angry at me for allowing myself to get so angry and not exercising it off, but eating it instead. It was almost as if I wanted an excuse to eat. So… I’ve taken some time to reflect a little, then find a quote (posted after this) about forgiveness, forgiving myself. During my reflection, I had to figure out what specifically triggered me. And also vision what I would do next time. And.. when I’m triggered, I need to follow my daily nightly routine to a strictly. That gives me time. Time to myself to decide how to proceed. If I’m not over the emotion, then I need to light a candle(s), use my lotions, and if still not over it then walk. Do not eat dinner, even if plated. As that is what I did. I didn’t even taste dinner it was anger that encompassed my whole being. So I need to wait. I told myself I could eat and forget the emotion, but I couldn’t. And of course that anger then turned towards me and my actions and it snowballed. So. Here I am writing it out so that I can learn and grow. I forgive myself. It’s not easy, as I think It’s also mid-month of TOM. And hormones are flaring. LOL But, a lot of exercises and a good housecleaning is on the agenda for today. So I should be able to work through and out of this!!
P.S. I'm finding that it is more hormones that emotions; because my anger button is easily triggered over nothing this morning! Nothing and not at anyone, just stupid stuff! SO! I'm going to have to be very aware and stay focused. Inhaaaaaale good healing energy and exhaaaaaaale bad thoughts and negative energy. And also do good things for me and my body today.
P.S.S. For sure hormones, because now here comes the waterworks. UGH!!
Oh joy! It's going to be a day! I'll do my best to stay active. And will probably need a relaxing bath, too.

@MaelynMayhem~ You inspire me with your commitment to the C25K (couch to 5k) and running. Wow! My knees limit me, but maybe someday I’ll run a little. It sure would be nice to burn off the calories faster!! Keep at it. You’re doing great!
@ajaia2001~ Good pep talk to get yourself to your bootcamp class. I wish I had done more peptalk yesterday. Today I will!!
@Fitgirllife72~ Great day. And yes… staying on track for the holiday weekend is a great goal. Mine too! Especially after last night!
@J0d13mcc~ Lots of steps!! Glad you’re feeling better. Keep at it

Good for you!! Being out of the normal routine is hard. You did great!1 -
Reminder to all for the April challenge, Saturday is the end of week #3. The contest started on Sunday, March 31 and will end Saturday, April 27th. Four weeks.
This means next week is the last weigh-in for this month's challenge. So let's be very mindful of our Easter Holiday weekend. Good luck everyone. Stay focused, hydrated, moving, and on track. Yes, you can!!

Daily Post (Thursday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: No, unless you count walking around the grocery store.
Water: Never enough
Day: Pretty solid day. Felt like a Friday, the weather was gorgeous, so I sat outside to finish the end of my book while BF did some gardening. Then we hit the grocery store. We needed food for us and food to cook the Easter brunch we are hosting on Saturday. Was a little worried about our budget for the extra food, but we did some bargain shopping and spent much less than I had planned! Woohoo!
Another NSV, BF really wanted a frozen pizza so I reluctantly agreed. By the time we got back from the store, it was late, so we cooked the pizza for dinner. I had a lot of extra calories left so it was a good day to do it and I made sure to weigh out my pizza to have the exact serving size. Ate it and still had some calories left over for a small snack! Then went to bed satisfied! All in all a frustrating week is starting to round out to be pretty ok.1
