Friday am I woke up just “tired” of pre-planning and thinking about food and not wanting to have a plan. This is where I have to be careful. Especially with a holiday weekend upon us. And to boot back spasm, just makes me want to throw in the towel. BUT! I won’t. I am here to talk through it. We all have “those” bad days. I hope once I get the back iced and calmed down, then some exercise I’ll get some of those happy endorphins to cheer me up. Either way, it’s being marked on my calendar and in my journal to learn from it. Preventable? Maybe not. But hopefully, I can make the binge be less someday. Anyhoo!! I’ll catch up with your posts tonight. HUGS.

Track: yes
Calories: over, Limit: 1500/Actual: 1665
Water: 100 oz
Exercise: Walked to and from Transitions twice, Zombies, Run (Tightrope - 38 minutes)
Day: I left late for group this morning. I walked faster than I should have to get there this morning, but I think my heart handled it okay. It was a short trip. I met with my CSS and got my meds through Tuesday morning. I have lots of appointments next week. I ate a doughnut today in group feeling kinda low about getting there late (by 1 minute). I still had to be walked back to group. Anyways, I stopped at just the one. I ate well the rest of the day. Finally got my exercise walk in at 7 pm.0 -
Daily post Friday May 24:
Tracked: yes
Calories: over
Exercise: no
I did good until about 30 minutes ago and then hit the chips which are my downfall. Went over by 400 calories for today which ends up being a sort of maintenance day instead of weight loss day. That’s okay.0 -
Daily post:
Track: yes
Calories: under
Exercise: 30 min run outside then 20 minutes lifting legs
Day: I overslept and didn't make it to the gym before work this morning. Met up with my family at a food truck fair at lunchtime and had yummy shrimp tacos and a fancy coffee but skipped the cupcakes. I left work later than I wanted to but stopped to get a workout in before I came home. Sooooo glad I did. Looking forward to spending time with my kids, maybe a hike, and catching up on housekeeping this weekend.1 -

Good news - bad news! So I went back to find your week #2 post because in the spreadsheet I had your PW different than what you had for week #4 weigh-in. Yes, you still gained. But only by 0.1- good news?. And no need to apologize. We're in this together and struggling and working through life. We have all accepted that this is a lifelong journey... a marathon, not a sprint.

Sorry I haven’t chatted with you all like I normally do. I have time this morning while the ice relaxes my back muscles. So let’s get to it!
@jwall309 ~ by now you are at the beach hopefully having a blast!! Nice weigh-in. You talked about the rate of loss. I read a blog this morning about numbers, besides the scales and the rate of losing weight. I’ve put the link below, but here is a paragraph that may help you adjust. It comes from the last number in the article 80/20- … “While it doesn’t seem like losing one pound a week is a big deal, that approach is sustainable and meaningful, resulting in 50 pounds or more lost in one year,” notes Holland. I look forward to hearing about some beach volleyball, swimming, and sunset walks.

@MaelynMayhem ~ Thursday nutrition class sounds interesting. And carrying those groceries, great exercise! Awesome self-control on Friday with the doughnut! And balanced with good food. Good for you! Glad you are able to still walk. Keep killing those Zombies!
@jupdyke~ 🎈 Happy Birthday! 🎈 Yes, good thing you are a runner to help offset the celebrations. Enjoy both!
@skullsandskeletons ~ Thursday steps- yeah!! Friday night… you stopped yourself! Yeah! And a positive way to look at it… a maintenance day. I need to do better at this… stopping and thinking, I can maintain on some days and it’s okay!
@ajaia2001~ Good Thursday -Bootcamp and low calories! 🙏 thinking about you.
@Fivepts~ Good loss and good for you for sticking with it and finding the accountability!! Keep working your program. You can do it. Hope you feel 100% soon.
@pratainua ~ A loss is a loss! Yeah!! Having a great month!! 👏
@germaine_yee ~No gain! Yes!
@ajaia2001~ Whoa! I hope that loss is the new eating plan, not worrying. HUGS. You’re doing great.
@_Cece_x ~I’m glad you posted so that you are not eliminated from the group for next month. And a NO gain weigh-in after two weeks. That’s the way you need to look at it. If I have been unaccountable for two weeks, I’d gain for sure!! So chin up. And hope t hear more from you this next week.
@klilev~ Good for you for getting in the legs after work. I bet that felt good in more than one way. YOU time!! Enjoy your weekend and the activities with your kids. As I check off for week #4 weigh-ins. I think I missed yours. Did you post your weigh-in this past Monday? If so, I missed it. Please re-post. Thank you.
@peacekeace ~ You have a beautiful smile.
One more week in May.

Exercise: Mile walk to the bus terminal
Day: I decided today would be the best day to go visit my grandmother at the nursing home due to storms moving back in over night. I decided to save a ticket and walk to the terminal. It turned out to be a hair over a mile, and I arrived in just enough time to catch my bus. I sat and listened to her talk about a song that was playing that nobody else could hear. But she is 90 years old so she's earned her due. We chatted for about an hour before I had to catch the next bus, however I missed but 70 seconds, and the one after that didn't come. So, I sat in the heat and sun for an hour waiting for the bus, and when it came I did use the second ticket to catch a transfer bus home instead of walking home from the terminal. For most of the day Internet has been cranky again, and sleep is being elusive, but hey, it's giving me a chance to write this post!
My day
1) I got to walk outside.
2) A person they thought my walking hat was cute.
3) I got to spend time with my grandmother.
Myself
1) I enjoy the outdoors city or country
2) I enjoy science fiction books and movies such as Ender's Game
3) I respect life.0 -

One thing I did well: I did add more resistance and found some dance videos.
One thing to improve: Better at the nighttime binges. In April there were 8 and they were both 4 days consecutive. In May there have been 6. And there was almost a two week period of none. At two was the most consecutive. So I’m picking myself up sooner and dusting myself off to get back on right away!

Another benefit ot tracking...
I have tracked everything I've eaten for the last four weeks, and I know this is a huge contributor to weight loss.
I just went through my nutrition summaries and saw that my carb/protein/fat breakdown is pretty consistent but also that I consistently don't get enough iron. I never would have recognized this without tracking. My dr recommended a multivitamin last time I went in but I haven't made it a habit. I think I will try to include more iron-rich foods and also commit to taking a multi vitamin every day.1 -
@victorious55 ~ Stick with it. You’re going to have an overall loss for May.
@MaelynMayhem ~ Yeah! A visit with Grandma. You’re still walking and doing your body good. You had such a huge loss last week and still lost this week!! Awesome May for you! Yeah! Hope you find a new or different food to add to your repertoire. Good goal.
@LuluLovinLife ~ LOL Yes… 5 weeks in May. I didn’t even know that June was up yet. Thanks for posting that. And awesome loss!! You had a good month.
@klilev~ Nice loss! “Weigh” to end the month. It’s exciting when the weight comes off and even more so when we learn something from tracking and paying attention to what it takes to lose and to fuel our bodies. Yeah you!!
