    yesterday was a rainy day. i went grocery shopping. took back some tops i had bought my mom that she didn't like. went to the nursery and bought some potting soil. i will be starting most of my plants indoors. we have a fear of frost until after mothers day. so my garden starts indoors. someday i will have a greenhouse. then came home and did my prep work. not as heavy as normal cause i am off for the rest of the week. i feel good.

    @Mrsbell8well ohhh good, you did really well last time with Gbombs. love your goals, remember make a plan every day. love that confidence. i am glad you went shopping. new clothes are so much fun. and jim is feeling fine. he is right back at it.

    @sleepymom5 love your commitment. sometimes, especially after a little get away, we can be pooped! take a nap! or meditate. time for your brain to recharge. and so far it is just rain. further north they got snow. but all week, at nite there is a change. it is still getting cold here at nite.

    @ljdanny boy, i hate it when i have to be smarter than my doctor. but it happens a lot. i hope that you are able to get some answers. i wish you luck.

    @nstephenson01 i have been getting that permission error a lot too. sometimes i have to log in and out 3 times before it works. lol and menopause will do that with your weight flucuations! i am glad that you are getting the snow and not me. so far ours has been rain. my rule of thumb is after mothers day. but we can put in some of the early veggies, like peas. but my lettuces and herbs i start indoors so i can transplant when the fear of frost is gone. and i love your goals. remember to rewrite your daily goal everyday and check them off as you complete them. it will help keep you focused.

    @twyla77 wow you are certainly on the go a lot. and that is just a small gain. no worries. just get right back on track and you will be fine.

    @CassieGetsFit2013 you certainly need to make a change. its not working. do you listen to podcasts? there is a couple of really good ones that are given my master weight loss coaches. it can really help. if your interested, let me know and i will give you the links

    @bmaison2014 maintains are good. they can give you a break. now what one thing extra will you do this week to further you to your goal? and remember make a plan everyday and check off items as you complete them. it will help you be accountable.

    @lenka1 i agree that is the only way to order a bathing suit. i wish they made button up blouses that way too. i can never find them to fit either!! you look amazing. smoking hot girl!!

    @pacsnc6 love your goals and what i always say "if worrying won't fix it, don't!" i hope you have a blast on your vacation.

    Remember, you don’t grow on your easiest day; you grow on your hardest days. Even if you face challenges this week, they are opportunities to learn and grow. You can do this!

    Happy Monday!

    Weekend was good - maybe not enough water (as typical) but overall not bad at all. This week I'm going to do better with food, walking and yoga. I never have a problem drinking water at work as we have filtered water and an ice machine and my SweetLeaf Water Drops :)

    @cyndiesstuff - our last frost day is the same as yours which is weird since we're zone 4. I just can't wait to get out there and get going. I should however get some peas planted, they can take cold nights!

    I have a super busy day today but sending greetings to everyone! Have a really good day!!

    Daily Check In: Sunday
    Food: only partly logged, got off track
    Water: Great
    Exercise & steps: strength training + dog walk; 10,085 steps

    My goal for the day was to get 10,000 steps which I managed to squeak in despite the bad weather. Tried to log but at the last minute changed up my dinner to make a pasta dish using some veggies that needed to be cooked. Hard to log a crisper dive. I drank a ton of water which should have put me in the bathroom every 15 minutes but didn't so I'm retaining water big time for some reason. Weight is up to 175.4 this morning... up over 3 pounds just this week!! Changes need to be made because this is not acceptable. Today is our neighborhood ladies luncheon at a local brewery. I've checked the menu... they make fantastic salads with fresh, in season ingredients so I have a plan. I love their pizzas but I just can't afford the calories. Once the luncheon is out of the way, its back to basics this week. More fruits & veggies, less carbs. I don't want to see 176 on the scale tomorrow. Off to take to dogs for a walk.

    Have a great day Team!!

    Good day yesterday. I feel like I am finally back to myself! My weight is back to where it was before I went away. I am not exhausted or feeling lazy. I am going to have the same small goals for today. I have a lot to do, food shopping, getting ready for Easter, getting my daughter from college to meet with her counselor(she is doing ok, not great), PT(my last week) and getting ready for my niece who is arrives tomorrow night. I am behind with cleaning because I wasted 3 days but maybe I needed a little rest. Everything will get done eventually. Hope everyone has a great week!

    Great job to our baseball team!

    @pacsnc6 Great goals! Enjoy your trip!
    @lenka1 You look great! I am glad that you found bathing suits that fit and are supportive
    @bmaison2014 Looks like you had a good day yesterday and are ready for a great week! You got this!
    @cyndiesstuff Sounds like things are starting to get back to normal. I hope you have a week that you are feeling better and enjoy your last week off.
    @carlsoda Have a great day! Glad you had a great weekend!
    @nstephenson01 Sounds like you have a good plan for the lunch today. You may end up having a new favorite at the brewery. That has happened to me, I would reluctantly order something healthier than what I really wanted and ended up liking it more. Have a good time!

    Check in for Monday April 15
    Ate: Logged and over. Stuck to plan but forgot to ask for dressing on side at supper. And had a fair amount of coffee to stay alert during meetings.
    Water: 3L
    Exercise: 90 minutes on elliptical. Got up at my regular time, which is 2 hours ahead of where I am now, so got to gym early and watched the sun rise over the prairies while working out. Very pretty! So far I’ve only explored a little bit of the city, and of course had to check out the mall. Maybe I’ll have more time tomorrow.
    Steps: 16,867. But about 10,000 were earned on the elliptical, so not sure how this applies to baseball.

    Hope everyone had a good Monday!

    I have been awake since 3:30. Waiting for daylight so I can run. Yesterday was challenging and put me in a bad mood. I think last night was my first real emotional eating in 280 days. I had a bowl of pinto beans for dinner, 1/4 avocado, minced serrano chilies and a whole grain tortilla with vegan butter. After dinner I kept thinking about those leftover beans. And there was a lot of activity in the home. Robin was cleaning the fish tank, Skylynn practicing the violin, Molly and I just wanted a peaceful night to watch game of thrones. I heated a second bowl of beans with a handful of blue organic corn chips, a small lemon coconut ball and a 100 calorie bag of smart popcorn. My belly was pretty happy but I felt mentally unstable. Plus I was at 150 2 days in a row. Very excited about that but now I question if I was sabotaging my success. Desperately want to see the 140’s. I’m so close. It reminds me how human I am. So for yesterday I overate at dinner, I didn’t get my run in and I only slept 5 1/2 hours. My sacred 3 all out of wack. Today’s a new day but I’m still feeling out of sorts. Getting up to do yoga, then run with first sign of daylight and I will plan to breathe today. I may skip dinner but eat a nice breakfast and lunch. Weigh in tomorrow.

    Happy Tuesday

    Hit a single yesterday with almost 9,000 steps. End of grading period means more sitting, apparently. Next week is spring break so I'll hopefully be moving a lot more.

    Good morning everyone, sorry for the late weigh in. I went to see the nutritionist yesterday we went over my inconsistency and things I can work on to get better at it. Her gym is having a fitness challenge starting April 22nd, 30 days of logging, meet with a nutritionist (at least once in the 30 days) and lose 8 pounds, she signed me up for the challenge I can't say I'm prepared for it 8 pounds in 30 days...sheesh. I haven't lost any weight since around November or so. She told me to incorporate more moving on the weekend, get back to trying to meet my step goal everyday, compete with someone on Fitbit to help me get motivated to move, when the movement alarm goes off get up and move. These things are all things I can do so I will work on them. Have a good week everyone.

    Another good day. I am still in a lazy mood when it comes to cleaning Lol! I HAVE to do it today, no choice! Not really sure when I am heading to shore since my niece will be here. If she wasn't coming, I would go tomorrow but I want her to get settled in so we will see. I don't like not having a plan. Today I am also going to work on a plan at the shore. I am going to have over a full house from Thursday until Sunday so I am going to have a lot of food I don't usually have around. I really like being under 200lbs and I want to have a loss for April so I don't have room to fool around with junk. The weather is also going to be crappy so I need to figure out what I am going to do for exercise. So as you can see, I really need a plan. Oh well, hope everyone has a great day!


    @bmaison2014 Thanks for checking in! Nice job logging and staying under. I know you usually get way more steps than that but I know when I don't work out my steps are way down too.
    @Julie8468 Sounds like you are doing well during your trip! It is amazing you can stay on the elliptical for 90 min! That is awesome!
    @hope002 Awesome day! You are doing awesome!
    @Mrsbell8well We all have days like that. You also overate on all healthy things, you didn't go back to the way you were eating. New day, clean slate and you have a plan for the day. I am sure what you ate won't make too much of an impact on the scale tomorrow. Remember the closer you get, the slower it comes off. I read somewhere that it isn't really coming off slower. If you think of it in percentages it makes more sense. You lose a percentage of what you weigh so as you get lower in weight, you may lose at the same rate percentage wise but now that you are lighter that percentage equals a lower amount of weight. I forget what exactly you weighed but at 200lbs, 10% of your body weight is 20lbs, at 150lbs 10% of your body weight is 15lbs. Hope that makes sense, I am not good at explaining Lol! Hope you have a better day today. Hugs!
    @GingerPwr Nice stepping! I am sure you are looking forward to spring break!
    @amsandos How's it going? I know that you weren't looking to lose this month. Maintaining is harder than it looks. Don't beat yourself up, look over what you did and think of what you can do differently. You seem to have a good idea what is going on usually. Hope all is well!
    @gottagetthisdown That nutritionist is worth the money! I know you can do it. I am pretty sure you have done it before too last fall. I think once you get into the swing of things you are going to take off! You got this!
    @phoebe112476 Nice loss! Looks like you are doing well with everything you have going on!

    Ate: ok
    Water: 56 oz
    Exercise: totally took back the kids room
    Steps: 10446 steps

    Yesterday was a very good day. i decided to repurpose my step-sons room. now my step son is 27 years old and married and hasn't lived here in YEARS. i packed up all his stuff in boxes and reclaimed that room. it felt soooo good. jim hauled all the boxes and bags downstairs and put them in storage. yes, the room is now mine!! i worked on that room till about 1:30 then meditated. i made meatloaf, potatoes, and asparagus for dinner. not sure what i will do doday. maybe work on my seedlings now.

    @carlsoda ohh i love fresh peas from the garden! i snack on them while i do weeding!! i can't wait to get going on my plants outside. some kind of critter ate my hens and chicks. i was pissed. i had them for 2 years. they were just starting to get nice. oh well, when things like that happen, i decided a long time ago that it was just meant to be.

    @nstephenson01 yup your right. need to stop it now. start tracking and weighing everything. and make your 24 hour plan in the morning. you can do this. but remember to be nice to yourself. it is hard changing old habits!

    @sleepymom5 wow, nice day for you yesterday. see? you just needed a little readjustment time from your little vacation. so are you excited about your niece coming to live with you? you and i are posting at the same time again! lol. and you do need a plan for the coming holiday. get out your journal and get writing. you can do this. ohhh i i like that baseball girl. she is really cute!

    @hope002 thanks for checking in. good job with meeting your goals for the day. small daily goals will give you big results. and ohhh my... you did a plank for 13 minutes? that is awesome!!

    @pacsnc6 thanks for checking in. glad you are still working your plan! happy vacation.

    @Julie8468 great steps. now have fun and be mindful on your trip. one day down on your trip and i call it success.
    you can do this. make a plan, write it down and remember, nobody really cares what you eat and drink besides you. your body, your business. and just so you know, both your steps and you exercise minutes count for baseball.

    @jedaschultz yay! good job getting that scale to move in the right direction. i am rooting for you! look out onederland!

    @bmaison2014 thanks for checking in. you got this

    @Mrsbell8well you really need to be gentle with yourself sometimes. you are after all a human being with addictive tenancies. while you meditate, tell yourself, "Angelina, I love you. I got this, I will take care of you. You are ok." the things we say to ourselves really matter.

    @GingerPwr end of grading and 9000 steps. you rock girl!!

    @amsandos holy macaroni. what happened? girl get right back on track, you can do this. i know it can be tough but you know what to do, now just do it.

    @gottagetthisdown maintains are good. do something extra thing week. one thing you can add to your routine. you got this. and your nutritionist is right. it is all the about the movement. activity is your friend. ok, 30 days. lets get this done.

    @phoebe112476 ohhh girl. that is a nice loss. cyndie is doing the happy dance. how have you been doing? we miss you checking in.
