Week 3?

Didn't sleep well last night, that was my husband fault, he was snoring. I finally moved to the couch still nothing. I decided to get up early and get things done. I did a walking video and 21df. I am going to get back into these I decided today. And I am only going to log them as one calorie in my diary. My plan is to try and not eat my exercise calories, measure and log every thing. I know I said it before. I'm doing a reset now. Hopefully it works. I don't want to pay for Jenny Craig or ww. And Dr is no help. Well happy Easter everyone!!1

I thought I posted my numbers for Thursday but here we go
2,608 steps and 411 move calories - that was the day we rode an hour each way to visit my brother. I was resting because I haven't slept good in about a week. In bed between 10 and 11 and awake by 3 or 4. Ugh!
As to my face plant - I barely scraped my hands, just a little soreness really but I must have landed hard on one knee as it is still sore when I kneel down. I can handle that! It was very embarrassing especially when the man following me rushed over and tried to pick me up like you would a toddler. That was just not working and I struggled until he let me go.
@cyndiesstuff you are doing great. You had a big change in your body ad your like with that surgery. Give it time.
Happy Easter.2 -

Evening plans for hosting family supper took a down turn. We had a power outage, nothing in the oven was cooking.. while we did have “sides”, my father called my brother who was in an area not affected by the outage to bring tons of Chinese food in.. so I lost control and ate Chinese food.. I tried to keep it light, no rice, but the noodle dish was so tasty.. worst thing is we now have a massive ham to cook and eat, all to ourselves. I think I will bring it to my aunt’s tomorrow. Oh yes power came back on, just as my brother arrived with the take out Chinese.
Happy Easter everyone!3 -
@DananaNanas That's not bad, basically maintaining.
@ljdanny Not getting sleep is the worst! I have worn earplugs for the past few years for that reason. They don't totally block the snoring out but it's not as sharp. It is not as bad as you would think. I think you have a good plan for moving forward. I really think you would like those podcasts, just listen to one.
@pacsnc6 I can understand having rest days to make up for not sleeping. Hope you are feeling rested by now.
@Julie8468 Ugh! That stinks! At least your brother was able to bring food over. Good idea to bring the ham to your Aunt's tomorrow. Don't be too hard on yourself about the chinese food, you probably didn't do as bad as you think. Just get right back on track!

Exercise: none
Steps: 7987 steps
was a good day yesterday. menu plan, grocery shopping and prep is all done. i am set up for a successful week. i will be so busy tomorrow my first day back to work. i will need to catch up so it might me late before i check in. i have to get ready for the easter meal this morning. i am also going to pick my son Josh up early. He wants to get his laundry done before our meal. happy easter everyone.
@pacsnc6 i am glad you enjoyed your trip. it sounds like you had a good time. and that gain will come right back off. you got this. we will be continuing baseball for the next 2 weeks. thanks for the update on the stats for baseball. and thanks for your kind words. you rock!!
@hope002 we will be continuing baseball for the next 2 weeks.
@GingerPwr sometimes that is what we need to do. just keep fighting. It will pass. but if it don't, don't wait to long to get help. i have fought depression all my life. sometimes i can get better alone and sometimes i can't. your brain is sick and needs to heal.
@kirsten11872 now there you go. the scale moved in the right direction. good job. now lets get another loss in week 4!! you can do it. and finding the balance between joy food and fullness is a very valuable NSV!! good job.
@twyla77 we are so glad you are back. you have been missed. and good job one getting your prep done. sounds like you are ready to get back to it. and wow, look at those steps. yay!! with all the exercise you got, the beer probably didn't hurt much. get drinking your water. the alcohol has dehydrated you. and you are not going to believe what i binge watched the whole time i was off...... law and order, SVU!! ohhhh i am in love with Stabler!!
@amsandos thanks for your kind words. BED is no joke. and i know from previous episodes or flairs of the disorder that admitting it is where it begins. it needs to be exposed to the light. and i am in love with your words where you say, " This is the work of a life time, like a garden, it will never be finished." perfect words come from a beautiful heart!! thanks my friend. omgosh and i am glad your daughter is not missing. phew! that is a relief. we give our children easter baskets here in the US. full of candies, toys, and cookies. we have easter egg hunts. i am not big on the candy and such. but i do love a good dessert!!
@sleepymom5 Happy easter to you too. thats ok. it is the holiday. no worries. i tried the ear plug thing but they hurt my ears if i wear them to long. it gives me an ear ache. my ex snored like a freight train. he would be sleeping in the back room and 80 feet away in the living room over the tv you could still hear him. it was terrible.
@DananaNanas baby gain girl. now, what will you do differently this week to make the scale move in the right direction?
@ljdanny i think daily activity is so important to weight loss. but not because it helps you lose weight. because it really does stimulate the brain. it releases feel good hormores that help provide motivation. i can't wait to get the release from my doctor to start back exercising. have you tried listens to some podcasts? if your interested i can give you the names of a couple coaches that have good ones.
@carlsoda thanks for checking in!
@Julie8468 ohhhh noooo. chinese food got you. mmm love me some sesame chicken and spring rolls. and as for the massive ham. make a soup with the leftovers. i make a ham potato, and broccoli soup that is delicious.

When people ask us, “What’s the single most important quality for a successful dieter to have?” The answer is undeniably: PERSISTENCE! The ability to not give up, even when the going gets hard. Because, in the journey of weight loss and maintenance, the journey WILL get hard, and then it will get easier, and then it will get harder again, and then easier. That’s just the process. The trick it sticking with it during the hard times, knowing that there’s a better time around the corner.5 -
@cyndiesstuff that’s a good quote. The one that sticks with me is one you posted ages ago. It was about the difference between perseverance and tenacity. Perseverance you hang in there and keep trying. Tenacity you adapt you adjust and you move forward till you hit your goal. That has inspired me to change course many times since July to keep moving forward rather than just moving in circles.
Happy Spring Day everyone!1 -
yesterday's Baseball: single, 35 minute workout
Worked on a crochet project for a loooooooong time yesterday, so not too many steps.
Happy Easter! Focusing on rebirth today in a lot of ways.2 -
Yesterday was a life game changer for me. Recently i spent a lot of money indulging in a makeover transformation. Molly and I had a budget, crisis, financial well being money meeting yesterday afternoon. It took us about 3 hours. I was really uncomfortable to admit that I just spent $1000 on nails, hair, makeup and new clothes...and a red polka dot bikini. I wasn’t sorry that I bought everything. I was sorry that I didn’t discuss it with my wife. I went on a binge. We have discussed money and finances before exactly like i used to discuss dieting. It would be nice to finish paying off credit cards and completing our 3 months emergency savings. It would be nice to save for a second honeymoon to Scotland. I want those things but I’m not sure I want them enough to do something about it. It’s exactly like my weight loss journey. Behaviors need to change. Oh I fussed, I was embarrassed to admit how much I had spent. I cried. I wasn’t ready. I still want to buy a pink skirt. I hemmed and I hawed. Finally I agreed. It was time. We from that moment, both have committed to change our behavior. No more credit card use at all. Cash only. If I don’t have it I don’t buy it. Same as MFP. For 4 months straight I logged every bite. If I ran out of calories I was done. If I wanted more calories I had to earn them with extra exercise. There was no shortcuts. We are going back to envelopes for our designated cash allotments. I wanted to wait until May 1st. But we decided it had to be now. Behaviors change now. I had $110 cash on me that needed to last until next payday May 1st. Then I realized $25 of that was mom’s miscellaneous money that I hold for her. Not mine. Then I had to pick up my black skirt at the taylors. Another $12 bye bye. That left me with $73 for groceries for 10 days which included Easter fixins. Molly went shopping with me and helped by keeping a running total. We did it with $2 to spare. I have 11 more items on my want list for my wardrobe. I found a gift certificate to TJ Max, returned a skirt to Amazon, found a Walmart swimsuit for $20 that I need to return and Molly is giving me a $50 gift certificate that we have been holding on to for a couple of years. She is really proud of me and excited that we are regrouping and changing our behaviors together! And I get my pink skirt too!!!4

Week 4
Weigh in day: Sunday April 21
Previous Weight: 128.6
Today's Weight: 128.6
the good news: I didn't gain while i was busy walking around NYC drinking all that beer!
the bad news: this is my highest weight in quite a while.
But I'm ready to get back to it!
I haven't been to the gym in months, and I'm missing my early morning workouts, so my goal for this week is to get to the gym at least 3 times.
I think i stick to my goals more when i have a date / event to plan ahead for, so I'm planning to look real fit for my cousins wedding on June 29, which is 69 days away!
and i agree @cyndiesstuff - Elliot Stabler is most of the reason I love SVU so much lol! So handsome!2 -

Happy Easter!
Yesterday was a busy day and I was able to get in lots of steps and exercise doing a day full of gardening. I am sore today!
Today will be a day of food prep for lunch as well as meals for next week. We have a gang of kids and grandkids coming over at noonish. So maybe not much steps today.
@Mrsbell8well - awe sounds like the Dave Ramsey plan. Good job being honest with spending and turning things around. We have been followers of him for years!
@cyndiesstuff - cute puppy
@sleepymom5 - love the pics of all the girls!! You are all so beautiful!0 -

@cyndiesstuff yes I get to keep the bikini and everything else phew!!! But like weight loss it doesn’t matter where u are...it’s what are you going to do about it. I spent another 3 hours today working on goals and feeling extremely positive. I made a 25 year financial plan. I will be 87 years old, in great health and having a blast!!! Lol. It’s good to feel empowered again.
@carlsoda yes Dave Ramsey. And yes we too have been dabbling at it for years. Just like weight loss. But this time we have made some positive behavior changes and set exciting goals in both categories. Got mom fired up too and she’s excited about her new budget. Sometimes we just need a big kick in the bottom. This last week was my “pizza, beer, banana split” equivalent. I’m happy and ready to roll forward.1 -
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
Sorry I don't have time to catch up with everyone yet. I will later I am sure!1 -
@Mrsbell8well I totally understand your financial discussion. Hubs and I have been operating on cash for a couple of years. I was scared at first, but have learned to work within a budget and actually feel more free to spend on myself if i'm able to save back from week to week.
@cyndiesstuff I'm doing a "call the midwife" baby blanket. It's with super fine yarn, so it's going to take a long time to finish. Here's a pic:

Sweet potato biscuits, eggplant fennel seed vegan sausage, cauliflower onion “quiche” with hash brown crust (extremely delicious), organic black berries, fresh steamed asparagus, local raw honey, European vegan butter....no deprived vegans at my Easter table. Molly and I were the only ones here. We sat outside and thoroughly enjoyed all this “JOY” food.1 -
@gingerpwr I love crocheting. Your blanket is such a beautiful pattern. Nice work.1
