It is usually FOODIE FRIDAY, and I have to say I really enjoyed dinner tonight.
Salmon with eggplant, zucchini, and kale in a lightly applied yellow curry sauce. Stick to the ribs but not heavy.2 -
Doing better, exercised today, enjoyed foodie friday, and fluids too.2
-
Friday Baseball - 45 minutes total (2 x 10 minutes HIIT on the bike plus 25 minutes LISS on the mini-trampoline ) 2976 steps.
Foodie Friday ..... I got a nutritional-sticker shock yesterday .... so I am on maintenance now, and thought "I am gonna get myself a chocolate Easter bunny this year!" So I was in the grocery store, looked at the back of the Allen's chocolate bunny .... 180 calories .....for 1/4 of the bunny! WHO ONLY EATS 1/4 BUNNY PER DAY?????
So I went for the (more expensive yet much higher quality) Lint individually wrapped chocolate mini-eggs - 27 calories each - put the bag in the freezer - and will ration / savor them 1 (27 calories) or 2 (54 calories) or 3 max (80 calories) at a time. MUCH easier to do when they are individually wrapped!3 -

Thursday steps 7,131
Not great on steps today. Tornado warnings most of the day. Kept my granddaughter close and pushed her around the house on her Tricycle.
This has been a hard week emotionally/stressfully. I have been unfocused. Exercise, except my daily plank, has been low. Steps etc.
I am determined to get back on track. I’ve worked too hard. I have logged my food. May have forgotten a few things, but I faced whatever I ate as much as I can remember.
I’m afraid I will probably have a gain again tomorrow. Not hopeful. I have to be so strict to lose. So easy to gain. I’ll let you know tomorrow.2 -

Weigh in Friday — can I get pass week. I am not able to do weigh in this week as I am traveling and have no access to a sclae1

I didn't get any exercise or enough steps in sorry. This cold is really wearing me down, and the house next to ours was on fire (it is suspicious), plus fire department had to be called back 2 other times because it was smoldering again. There is distance between our houses but the flames were so hot on our porch. I was more concerned about my pets (1 dog and two cats).4

@evangsimmons170 ...steps for 4/19/19
*****I can't wait to post my steps for today (4/20/19) because I'll be walking a quarter marathon later this morning. That's 6.55 miles in addition to whatever else I walk throughout the day. I'm determined to finish strong! Stay tuned...4 -
What a lot of news - crazy weather, fire, some slumps, some anticipation and excitement.
@kittu125 - thanks for all the stats and the great support to the baseball team when some of us have been hitting a bit of a slump. You are shining! No problem for a week off your weigh-in. I just put in the same weight as last time, and you can catch back up next week.
@jlbtnc - YIKES. You have been having quite the time, and holding up (I find) really beautifully. You have been posting. You are taking care of pets, dealing with the fire next door, fighting a nasty cold - there are many hugs flying your way.
@fourathomej - yep. Trying to outrun the extra eating does not work too well. I'm doing the same thing this week, and not even being that great at facing up to it and tracking everything. Hate it when that happens. But we'll get back on top of it - we know what to do and we're going to do it, right? Next week's weigh-in - let's make it a really good one.
@micki48 - tornado warnings -- holy moly. I thought our flood warnings here were kind of scary, but tornadoes always take the cake where warnings go. And your little granddaughter is being super well taken care of. You too will beat this slump! Let's all hit the green next week, ok?
@evangsimmons170 - Fantastic stepping and now a quarter marathon! Have a blast!
Then there are all the members I'd love to reach out to who have not given us their news. I hope everyone is OK and just busy and having so much great stuff to do that you don't have time to post messages!1 -

I don't know if the rules changed .... but so long as advanced notice was given (which you did hereO last week's # can be carried over to avoid a NWI ruling. There is a limit to the roll-overs in a row .... but it was a way to allow for travel without moving to cheer squad if a shorter trip.0 -
Team Weight No More's Week 3 Group Challenge Today Matters
...
I woke up this morning knowing I have to recommit to my health and healthy weight. ....
So this challenge is perfect for me. Perfect timing. Perfectly simple. Perfectly do-able.
So here it is…
My Four Circles to Success
Yes, the colors are significant…
To me the color
Purple represents hope
Green represents growth
Yellow represents excitement
Red represents celebration
All are connected, one will lead to the next
Plan to see my success report tomorrow.
Happy Restart Saturday to me and to all
How has your Daily / Weekly gone so far this week, @karenesg ?1 -
I'm thinking hard about the four circles. I have two large projects that I will break down this way, but they are not related to weight and fitness. I feel like I have a good practice with those - It has been 7 years since losing 35 pounds, and I have stayed within a tolerable range for that time. When it rises up, as it did recently, I get much more strict with logging and find ways to inspire more intense activity. That's what these teams are for!
But other projects are hard to keep on the road. I retired, thinking that at long last I can get to MY stuff. But I also had a huge "management fatigue". At work I ran a lot of projects, did a lot of administrative work, applied for and managed grants, performances, recordings, etc. On top of teaching unruly university students and herding my colleagues as chair of the department. This fatigue has created a terrible spoiled brat who wants everything to be set up and organised FOR me. I don't want to anymore. But if I don't, it doesn't get done because now it really is MY stuff.
I really like the four circles, so I'm working on what has to go into the month, week, day so that they are both done this year. I'll post it soon!
How is applying the 4 circles to just ONE personal goal working? Has it even begun? Or is your Instant Gratification Monkey (IGM) [if it ain't fun or easy, I'm avoiding it like the PLAGUE!!] jockeying to keep Rational Decision-Maker Dude well away from the helm?
Is there a SMALLER personal project you could practice applying this to? that would take LESS than a year (or even perhaps less than a MONTH) to accomplish? Like .... i donno .... are you a gardener? Could you be planning and setting up your flower or vegetable patch soon? Wave the prospect of either sitting amongst all the lovely blooms or savouring home-grown ingredients as a bribe/incentive to the little monkey?0 -

It is actually getting going. One project will be long, the other more manageable. The long project is easy to divide into smaller goals, even though the precise time each one will take is dependent on things like grant applications and results, but it will be simple to update as it goes along. I have started and gotten the ball rolling again after a few weeks of procrastination. This is a composition and performance project based on stories that military personnel who have been deployed find impossible to share.
The shorter one is the one I'm having to really push myself on. Thanks for the reminder to get that danged monkey outta here! I will put this one into the circle method, which is a little too simple for the long one. Then I will be able to report every week on how it is going. I really want to get it done, but I hate doing it. I am taking around 15-20 concert recordings from back in cassette days (my own performances). I am listening to them all, cataloguing all the pieces, performers, etc. and deciding which are good enough to put out into the world. Then I have to digitize them - here is where I'm stuck. I need some hardware, some knowledge, and to stop finding it so hard to listen to these performances repeatedly. Musicians are not good at listening to music, weirdly enough. We hear every flaw, everything we would do differently, every detail and its good and bad qualities. This is why we have producers and editors when making recordings! So I'm going to try to do one concert every week once I have the set up. First I need the hardware, and to make some experiments with the software to clean up the sound a bit, getting rid of the tape hiss, etc.
OK more detail than you needed! Gardening and outdoor stuff is what I do when putting this work off!! My seedlings are doing beautifully... will plant them outside in early June. And the salad garden is planted, in hopes it will stay warm enough. That stuff is my escape. So thanks again for the reminder to stay accountable and keep the plan moving. :

I have noticed that you usually weigh-in late. Would you like to change your weigh-in day? It really helps if it comes in on the day it is due. Thanks!0 -

will not be home to weigh in on Sat. I will give you the weight on Sunday if that's okay.
It would be better to weigh in today - unless you can weigh in Sunday before 8:15 Eastern. We do the tallies early, so your loss would not be in the calculation for the week. You have done so well this month we would be sad not to have your excellent results in the team's favour!
I also like your 3 bite rule. I'm not sure I could do it but it is a great way to take 3 really conscious bites.
I did weigh myself on Friday so if you want to use that number you can. I am not sure if I can get to the computer by 8:15 tomorrow morning. I will post it today1 -
