Good morning everyone,
I hope you all have been doing well. I have not worked out as I planned this week, I did go to a dance class on Tuesday but that was it. Tonight we are going out to dinner so no time to fit in a workout today, unless I consider my walk at lunch a workout, which I normally do not. Saturday I am going to sign up at the gym called Twisted Fitness, I am excited about trying something new. My goal is to go at least 4 times a week and try the different classes, not be afraid of trying something that I am not confident about. Changing my mindset with lead to changing my body. It feels good to check in with you all.

@Shirin_K and @nstephen01 great job to both of you for dropping down into the next set of numbers. great accomplishment! @cyndiesstuff you had a huge loss last week so it makes sense you held out this week on the scale. Still qualifies as 2 pounds a week average this month. I know you will do well in your interview. So happy you are doing well with your eating in balance. It really does get better and easier. It's always there but it does become manageable. I like your new gentle attitude!0

If you were to ask me to place a bet on whether or not I got that job oh, I would tell you I believe that job is mine. The interview went great the boss seems really nice. It was good. Now we wait8

Dang... I was about to do my daily post and just read all of the lovely posts to @cyndiesstuff!! Cyn We will all be there in spirit when you and Jim exchange your vows. luv ya much!! And yes hope you post some pictures. Enjoy every moment!!
Daily Check in: Wednesday
Food: Pre-logged, but didn't eat as planned
Water: Good
Exercise & steps: 16,510 steps... not gonna lie I'm super happy to have my new band so I can wear my Fitbit again
To beat the heat I skipped breakfast to get my yard work project done thinking I would just have a late breakfast. Breakfast didn't happen... grabbed some leftover pasta for lunch. I had dinner planned and pre-logged but hubby Facetimed me (which I hated because I was a hot mess from working in the garden most of the day) then the bank called because we're refinancing the rental in Cali to buy some land adjacent to our house here then my dad called which I love but it was some good some bad news. Roller coaster emotional night and 3 hours later of being on the phone I burned dinner and drank too much wine. I didn't feel hungover this morning but I did feel like I didn't get a good nights sleep.
Today is a new day. Hydrating and planning healthy food for the next week. Mishaps happen in our life and I used to use it as an excuse to throw in the towel. Not anymore. One day at a time... just one day! I can do this! Bout to watch the Warriors/Raptors game for as long as I can stay awake.

Congrats and much happiness to you both

My x-rays were good. Some mild degenerative changes but nothing that should be causing me pain. The orthopedic doctor thinks it is my back. I am getting and MRI and most likely will be going to PT. Now to wait for the MRI to be approved by my insurance...
@julie8468 journaling is so important. Keep at it even if it doesn't seem to help at first. I know the Phit and Phat podcasts had at least one on journaling.
@Mrsbell8well I bet your son gets his baking skills from you! I am not surprised that the tart was a hit! It is sad with our parents getting older. That is what hit me in Florida, my aunts and uncles that we used to have so much fun with are all gone. The ones that are left are so fragile. Our relationships with them do change.
@gottagetthisdown Thanks for checking in! It is great you get out for a walk at lunch daily! You may not consider it a workout but it is still awesome that you do it! That gym class sounds like it may be fun! Enjoy!
@cyndiesstuff You still are down a good amount since the beginning of the month! I am glad you aren't worried about it. That is not really even a gain. You have been doing great! I am excited to hear that the interview went well! So many exciting things for you now!!
@Shirin_K Nice loss! Hello 150s!! You have been doing great and it is showing on the scale!
@carlsoda Love the idea of a spread sheet for planning! I wish I could do more on the computer. Lol! Dinner sounds yummy!
@ljdanny How's it going? I know I have seen your workouts!
@ljdanny @pacsnc6 I must have messed up when I cut and pasted! I am going to post something else! Sorry! Ugh!
@nstephenson01 I have had days like that, just one thing after another. The important thing is you have a good plan for today. Hugs! Nice loss today!

"Hi Cyndie, Congratulations on your big day. I think you are such an inspiration to all you come across. you are a beautiful person on the inside and out. I wish you many years of happiness. Tracy (ljdanny)"

wow what a day yesterday. the best part is i at like a normal person! the job interview went great. i really do think the job is mine. i probably won't find out till i go back to work on the 26th. the boss seemed like a nice guy. i really liked his attitude. he is also very motivated. i can't wait to find out!! then i came home and took a 45 minute nap. got up ate a good lunch and then went to pick my youngest son up from the air port. i haven't seen him since last may. i sure wish he lived close to me. i miss the relationship we use to have. but the love is still there. i hugged him and held him close. it made my heart sing. then i came on here and you all gave be that beautiful shower. as i read each one of your comments I thanked God that he let me find this group. You all mean so much to me! Your not only my team, your also my friends. so today is the day. i am up early, couldn't sleep. i have to be at the hair dressers at 12. i am so excited to marry the man of my dreams.
@Shirin_K ohhh yeah girl. you are officially in the 150's. that is great. good job doing the hard work. a life time of love and happiness!! that is exactly what will happen. xoxo
@carlsoda sometimes we think we want something to eat and we really just want the experience. and i would say that your day was perfect. perfectly you. you are creating this new amazing you that really thinks about taking care of herself. that is the best NSV!! and thanks for the luck. all the well wishes from you all made a huge difference. i went in there and sold myself. you are right, i live 30 minutes from the Blue Water Bridge. yes... a life time of happiness and love. that is now my destiny! xoxox
@Julie8468 thanks for the luck. and it was the most amazing day yesterday. i had missed my son soooo much. and i looked up and translated your words. Merci, mon amie xoxoxo
@nstephenson01 ohhh yeah girl. you are now in the 160's to stay. this is the last time we are going to lose this weight. we can do this. now..... get making that plan girl. the new nancy is waiting!! yes!! love, joy and happiness. that is what we are going to create together. thanks for always being there. xoxoox and yes! your fitbit band came in. i bought a big pack. i think i got like 8 different colors. lol. and alcohol certainly can ruin a good nites sleep. it sounds like your evening blew up. hey!! but you didn't eat thru it. now put the wine away, and make today the best day yet!! and remember, sometimes life just happens, the new nancy moves on and takes care of herself. smile girl. you are beautiful.
@gottagetthisdown i am so glad you checked in. i really think some podcast may help you work on your mindset. you are right. the hardest part of losing weight is changing your mind. there are a few different ones. losing 100 lbs with phit n phat, thinner peace in menopause and beyond, weight loss made real with cookie rosenbloom. just to name a few i listen to. they really make you analyze the way you think about food, weight loss, and exercise. and just over all taking care of yourself. you should check them out. lets starting working on the future you. xoxox
@Mrsbell8well you, as always, are right! i did do really well on my interview. i am working very hard on my "wack a mole" tendencies! i cannot jam a square peg into a round hole. now, i have learned, that i need to carefully chisel down that square peg. it will fit a little better every day!! i am so thankful for your friendship. you have watched me stuggle and love me anyway! and jim is the most perfect man. the man of my dreams. xoxoxo
@pacsnc6 thanks for your support Patsy! i am a success!! and that is what we have, much happiness. i am marrying the man of my dreams, xoxox
@amsandos and that wedding blessing is so beautiful. thank you for sharing those lovely words with me. i finally have someone i want to spend the rest of my life with. xoxox
@kirsten11872 the last half of my book Kristen, is going to be amazing. the new Cyndie i am building may be a work in progress, but the chapter reads like a fairy tale. my fairy tale. xoxoxo
@lennoncpa ohh yes. the years ahead. we are building this amazing life one day at a time. and i get to do it with the man of my dreams! i am a luck girl. xoxo
@sleepymom5 thank you so much pam you are a great co captain! and i appreciate your kind words. and Jim and i have started this beautiful journey. he has such a kind helping spirit. he is going to be a great partner for the rest of my life. xoxox degenerative changes can cause quite a bit of pain. but your right, that is probably not your answer. keep looking and pt will help regardless. great self care girl. you made it thru the week. now... have you made your weekend plan?
@eyesopennow and a very special thanks to the token man at my bridal shower! i am so happy you came. you have become a wonderful part of our team and i am happy to call you friend. omgosh, the united way is one of my favorite charities. that is truly a blessing of the greatest kind. xoxoxo to you buddy! i still want to know what the results of your blood work was.....
@ljdanny thats just a small gain. work on a plan this weekend. it is time to kick this in the butt for good. you can do this you know. you are a strong intelligent woman. now, it is time to start your new plan. what is your next best step? and thank you for the well wishes. i truly am marrying the man of my dreams. his is my rock, my security, my most valued companion. xoxox
@twyla77 ohhhh! i am now one of the cool kids. i think that is the best thing you could have said to me. thanks Twyla i am madly in love with my soon to be husband. he is the best part of the second half of my story. xoxoxo
@lenka1 our journey together. it is very sweet. i am so happy to have found such a wonderful man for the second half of my life. i have been given a second chance to love. i am truly blessed!1 xoxox

Yesterday I finally caught up on all my emails. Trying to stay on top of my workload.
Came home and crawled into bed for a few minutes. My daughter sent me a text that they wanted to run before family dinner. So I crawled out of bed and threw on my running clothes. I ran for 42 minutes in the wind and slight rain. We had such a good time and I felt rejuvenated. Hannah is 12 and trying to beat me lol. She keeps me running a little harder. 8 of us went out to dinner. I had such a good time and great food. Bake potato, sweet potato, grilled asparagus and the salad bar. Family focus week is pretty sweet. Leaving to DC later today to enjoy the weekend with Skylynn and her best friend at the Smithsonians.

I am posting my weight after instead of before this post because I don't want to lose the comments below I already wrote. (I told you all I am bad at this computer stuff Lol!) I am up a lot. I had a bad weekend but thought I did better during the week. I actually like using logging as a tool to learn. I was over on most days, some days not by much but it adds up. I also didn't have activity to balance it out. I need to be strict about pre logging my food. If I don't have calories, I am not going to eat it. I also have a week ahead that I can focus on me at the shore. I do have cleaning to do but that really won't take me away from concentrating on this. My goal this week is to get back to where I was last week. I know that I can do it! As far as activity, the doctor gave me no restrictions, whatever I can tolerate. So I am going to try kayaking, that is more about the position, not sure how my hip will like being in a kayak. I know I am good with biking so I am going to do that. I know walking aggravates it. I have been doing well with slow, 15 min walks. I am just going to slowly increase the time. I will try with the pace but I limp so I am walking slower. I would love to swim, we are on a canal off the bay. I could easily swim, even hold onto the doc and kick. I just have to get over myself and go in. I like floating in a tube with a drink. Not actually swimming with whatever is in there. It feels good to have a plan. MK and I are making plans for dinners each night. She is not the healthiest eater but gave me a list of the healthy dinners she likes. There was a lot more on the list than she lets on! Lol! She also is working at a fish market so she can bring stuff home after work. We need to get creative with cooking. Can you believe a 19 yo girl loves cleaning fish? She stinks of fish when she gets home but she loves it! Lol! I think she loves that it is a physical job and she keeps up with the guys.
Busy day today-I have to clean, do wash, go shopping for the shore (they don't have all the stuff we do at home), pack, pack the car and hopefully get some exercise in. We are seeing a community theater play that my son's friend has the lead. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. It is funny seeing these kids all grown up and living their lives Lol! I don't know why I am having this thing with time going by lately....He is so handsome but my girls still think of him as another brother "He's so annoying" They can't even admit he is handsome Lol! So we will have dinner out, I came across a gift certificate our daughter and husband gave us for a restaurant. I am going to suggest there instead of the bar. Too many tempting foods at the bar. Not sure if I am going to the shore after the play or early tomorrow. My guess is tomorrow. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
@Cafelelia Congrats on the Raptors win! They were showing all the celebrating on the news! Very exciting!
@cyndiesstuff Hugs! I am so excited for you! Enjoy every minute! xoxo . I am so lucky to be a co captain with you! We have a great team! Btw-the doctor said there was just a very small amount of degenerative changes, nothing more than would be normal for my age so he said the pain wasn't from that. Ugh! I thought I would have answers.
@Moarrein Nice loss! Great day yesterday and awesome plan for today!! I love how active you are!
@pacsnc6 Nice loss!! You are on your way!! Great job!
@Mrsbell8well I love your family week! Such fun! Enjoy DC . Tomorrow is going to be beautiful!5 -

I'm calling this a win. Last weekend was birthday party with too much pie (it was my joy food over extended and boy it was DELICIOUS!) but this whole week I've done an amazing job keeping on track. Like last night I cooked up some potato slices in the air fryer to get them crispy, cooked some chicken tenderloins, heated a mixed bag of veg and mixed them all together in the skillet with some salt, pepper and garlic. The hubs said the food was so good and he loves eating like this. I love it too. I also make the same meal with ground beef. SO...this week has been a win!5 -

Bye bye plateau) my new plan is working well. I even dipped into 130.6 during the week but that might have been just a fluke haha
Today I’m fasting til dinner. We are going out to eat. I’ll eat a lot lol so I need to save as many calories as I can til then
@sleepymom5 are you familiar with Shady Maple Smorgasbord that’s in East Earl? If yes, you prob know how much I will eat there today lol
Anyway I will be going on vacation coming back very late Friday night so I won’t be able to weigh in til Saturday the 22nd morning. Hope it’s okay! One day late should not be a big deal I hope

Daily Check in: Thursday
Food: Didn't log
Water: Good
Exercise & Steps: None; 4,647 steps
Yesterday was a recover and get my act organized day! Didn't sleep as well as I had hoped as it never really cooled down. Congratulations to all the Raptor fans!! Your team played their hearts out and deserved to win!!
Today's going to be a good day. Plans include short dog walk, yoga class then our neighborhood ladies luncheon at a mexican restaurant. At the last two I just had a salad and water. Today I'm going to eat something heartier so I probably won't need dinner and might have a margarita TGIF!! It will be too hot to do much outside by the time I get home so hope to do some recreational reading as that has fallen by the wayside and some meal planning. Tomorrow is Farmer's Market and grocery shopping.
@cyndiesstuff cherish every moment today... it will go by so fast! Hugs!
@sleepymom5 Swimming is supposed to be great exercise, isn't it? I would try to muster up the courage... I would think it would help your hip. Try not to think about what's in the water... they're more afraid of you than you are of them LOL. Sounds like you have a great plan for your time at the shore. Enjoy! Hugs!
Gotta run... wishing everyone a wonderful and successful weekend whatever your goals may be!3 -
