@cyndiesstuff - did you check if that massive frog had a butt crack? So awesome you found a frog statue on your honeymoon! I do hope you got a chance to drive that buggy[?] in the sand as much as you wanted.
@Mrsbell8well I hope your sister is safe. And heartwarming to hear you are shopping with your mom.
Logging: not today, but can tell you I’m over.
Overall, so happy that I am going through this with all of you. Still struggling with changing bad habits, being more active when someone else or life gets in the way.2 -

what a beautiful day it was yesterday. sunny and 78 degrees. so it was a great day to get out the shorts and tiny top and clean vehicles. they sparkle like crazy! laundry, menu plan, and grocery shopping are done too. we have a deer and her fawn living somewhere close in the woods. i have seen them 4 or 5 times now. momma deer is teaching baby how to forage for food. it is really quite beautiful. on with my day.
@Julie8468 maintains are good. it means that you are learning to live your life the way it was intended. good job.
@sleepymom5 hey! good job with that loss. now lets keep it going. what will you do today? write it down and stick it to your forehead. our new life style has to be top of mind!! and journaling is a good plan. i have a cute little notebook right on the end table by the couch. when i feel the impulse the urge, i start writing. it is kinda like that 90 second thing. it just really gives you time to think about it. and i missed you guys too. we will figure this out together, one day at a time!!
@gottagetthisdown i love your exercise plan for the weekend. good job at continuing on this new life you building.
@pacsnc6 little less than a pound, thats not real bad. lets change that this next week. what is your commitment for the week. be specific about your treats and right it down. put it where you will see it when you go to get the snacks and require yourself to read it and abide by it before you snack. you can do this.
@Cafelelia nice loss this week lady! now be careful what you say to yourself. you said ONLY 3km. don't minimize what an accomplishment this is. it is one of the most amazing nsv's. you are running again!! spend a few minutes today and write out how far you have come in the last 6 months. positivity if the key to lasting results.
@twyla77 sometimes life gets busy. and good job on the maintain.
@hkfleming woooo whoo... happy dancing all around the office. that is wonderful weigh in. keep up the hard work lady.
@carlsoda and the scale goes down. yes!!! good job on the loss. and enjoy your joy food. we cannot stop enjoying our food or this becomes a diet not a life style. moderation is the key. and we went to Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Ludington, and Silver Lake. and that is exactly where the dunes were at, lake michigan. what a blast!
@nstephenson01 your garden looks lovely. ours is kinda yellow. it is drowning. we have had so much rain. hopefully it will survive. all we can do now is pray and love it. i am going out this morning to weed! the bunnies have ate my lettuce. i haven't been able to spray the perimeter of the garden because of the rain. going to spray today and hope the lettuce comes again and it may!! lol and i got jim a smoker for his birthday, wedding present, honeymoon, and cyndie loves smoked meat!! we seasoned it yesterday. it is ready for the first batch of something. maybe fish!
@lennoncpa slight losses are better than no losses. you got this keep working your plan
@hope002 thats just a half pound. what will you do this week? what is your commitment? make a plan and write out what you will do today, to get you to your goal. you can do this. i know you can!!
@lenka1 that will fall right back off when you get back. i know the feeling. i could not wait to get home to start eating my food again. you little girl is quite a little dolly!! soooo sticking cute!!
@GingerPwr logging every bite sure can give you a reality check. good job at refocusing your energy.
@eyesopennow wooo whooooo now that is the way to make the co captain smile! we are not going to 240. nope not mike. mike is going to lose this weight for the last time. small consistent changes. you can do this.
@Julie8468 lol! as a matter of fact, i did check the frog for a crack. he did not have one! but i still wanted to take him home and put him by my front door. he was sooo sticking cute!! i did drive the buggy. i drove it for about 30 minutes. it was exhilarating. i was not as agressive as jim. but it was fun, fun, fun going super fast along the beach.

ok peps! you know how i am. tell me what your doing this weekend. make that commitment.cyndiesstuff wrote: »
Now team business....
challenge ahead!!
it is the weekend team mates! what is your exercise plan for the weekend? many times we are good during the week and slack off on the weekend, our mind frame is i have been good all week. i deserve a break. that is diet mentality. there is no break. this is a life style. so lets treat the weekend like it's a week day. include fun and relaxation but also, good healthy food and exercise and activity.
My exercise commitment for the weekend:
Saturday: yoga outside
Sunday: treadmill

The weekend is a great time to fit in exercise. Remember – 5 minutes is ALWAYS better than 0 minutes. Likely the hardest part is just getting started and once you’re done you definitely won’t regret it.
Starting slow is still a start.
Remember why you started.
If you’re tired of starting over, stop giving up.
Everyone starts somewhere…just keep going.
Every day is a new beginning, take a deep breath and start again.
Stop saying I wish, start saying I will
Do what you have always wanted to do, it’s never too late to start.
Start now. Make it happen!
It’s never too late to start over. It’s never too late to be happy.
Motivation gets you started habit keeps you going.
Imagine a new story for your life and start living it.
Starting over sucks, so keep going.
Stop wishing, start doing.
The key to success is to start before you are ready.
Think big, start small.
You don’t have to be great to start but you have to start to be great!3 -

NOT DRINKING ALCOHOL TODAY.
Housework and errands throughout the day. Might hit a friend's pool tomorrow, but also going to a steakhouse for dinner.

Daily check in Friday
Food not good but not too bad
Water not enough
Exercise just PT and cleaning
Steps 7636
Yesterday did not go as planned. My washer died, of course full of water. That is why I wasn't able to get back on here last night. I was trying to find another washer and dryer that would fit in the space. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. I figured I would get a dryer too since that hasn't been working too great either. Today I have a fund raiser I have to go to. I hope I can just kind of show up and give my money and leave after a bit. I hI have to also organize my y inside.clothes, my room is a mess and I really am not unpacked but I don't have a lot of space so I have been putting it off. It is just too nice out to stay inside cleaning. I also scheduled my MRI for Tuesday morning. Hopefully some answers. If not PT is the next step.
I actually am going to be proactive and see if there is anywhere down here I can go that takes my insurance. Ok-off I go! Have a nice weekend everyone!

@pacsnc6 I am having an ice cream problem too...must be the time of year Lol! I am putting mine on a cone so I don't have quite so much.
@Cafelelia Sounds like you had an awesome run! Good luck with the sleepover Lol! I remember those days! Thanks for the tip about the lemon water and also making me feel a little better about taking the ibuprofen
@twyla77 It isn't like you not to weigh in or check in at all so I was so happy to see you post. As long as you have your weight in by Saturday night it counts. I hope that things settle down for you soon. Hugs! I am so happy you are still with us!
@hkflemming Awesome loss! You must be doing well! Have a great weekend!

@eyesopennow Nice loss! Hope you have a great weekend!
@Julie8468 I struggle with the same things, a lot of us do. The fact that you are still here and pushing forward is something you should be proud of!
@Mrsbell8well Good luck and have fun!!
@cyndiesstuff What beautiful weather you are having! Enjoy! I never thought of getting a cute notebook to journal in, I really like that idea and I won't mind leaving it out then.

This morning, we finally got to our garage, shed & backyard for the final stage of my Marie Kondo journey. It was not bad, but there is enough junk fior one truck pick up. My husband had a mystery box in the garage, which turned out to be empty!! In a few weeks, we are having some work done to transform the back into more of teen/tween/hang out space, so we are ready now. It is a beautiful day here and I now have to get ready fior the teens to descend upon our house for the birthday party!
@sleepymom5 - So glad that your MRI is booked!
Kirsten11872 - congrats on the nice loss!4 -
@sleepymom5 hope you get some answers from the MRI, will be waiting to hear.
And, yes I think it is the summer weather (90s last week) that we've been having here. Ice cream sure make the heat more bearable. I have been eating smaller portions and adding walnuts (they ARE good food)
@GingerPwr good luck to your son, congrats to him for wanting to serve our country0 -
Check it out - on time weigh in, with a loss 💃🏻 (not really... more of a maintain but that’s ok

@Cafelelia It is amazing how much stuff we accumulate! You have been doing so well following the Marie Kondo method and getting rid of what you don't need. Good luck tonight! Hope you get some sleep!

Daily Check In: Friday
Food: ok, mostly on plan but probably over on cals. Feeling hungrier then usual.
Water: Good
Exercise & Steps: 30 minute dog walk, 90 minute yoga class; 9070 steps
Yesterday's yoga class was a good one! Felt very relaxed so didn't accomplish much afterwards. Fell asleep last night on the couch watching on old Jack Lemmon/Shirley Mclaine movie. High times on a Friday night in Montana LOL
I find that I retain a lot of water after the yoga classes no doubt from muscles recovering from what I just put them through so I'm trying to up my water but there's only so much I can drink!! LOL
@GingerPwr Big hugs to you momma! And we are grateful for your son and his commitment to the safety of our great country.
@pacsnc6 @sleepymom5 I've perused the ice cream aisle at the grocery store twice this week but didn't buy any. Not sure I'll be so lucky a 3rd time
OMG @DananaNanas What cute dogs! Hope Dennis enjoys his new playmate

Daily check in Saturday
Food still struggling
Water 48 oz
Exercise weeded the garden and yoga outside
Steps 10172
i wasn't going to talk about it again. i have worked hard and i am still struggling. i know that this is not easy but i feel like i say i am going to do it but i have really given up. i binged yesterday. i am tired of every morning saying today is the day. i am going to do it today. its just one day. it feels like a lie. counseling tomorrow. i need to find the willingness to use my tools. i know what i should do, i know what i should do before i start. i just don't. on a brighter note, the garden looks like it just might make it. the plants are still the same size they were when we planted them. the rain and cold has stunted their growth. if the garden produces at all this year, it will be very late. oh well. it is struggling like me. i won't give up. but i am hanging on by a thread.

@Zumba_Luvah nice loss this week. how are you doing?
@GingerPwr discipline is a great word to have in your arsenal. Also, moderation!! your doing great. tell your son, thank you. i remember when my son left for basic. it is going to be a tough time for you. be prepared. what will you do to cope?
@sleepymom5 your word seem very contradictory. food not good but no too bad. where is that Pam commitment? you remember, the new pam you are creating? what would she do? trust me, i know that it is easier said than done. but don't accept not to bad as your answer. it's not. you and i both know we can't live like this. today is the day.
@kirsten11872 woooo whoo. that is a very nice loss. good job at your success this week.
@Cafelelia wow you got all the garage shed and backyard done. that is a lot of work. mystery boxes are fun, to bad it was empty.
@DananaNanas lets celebrate! a loss. that is awesome. good job. and your dogs are soo cute. their faces look almost the same. i hope they get along. they are certainly adorable.
@nstephenson01 that is great that you are enjoying your yoga. i did yoga outside yesterday. all by myself. it was a blast. and that is awesome that you didn't buy ice cream. stay out of that isle girl. its not for you.3 -
Today is food prep day. we also have to get the low boy out and go pick up our excavator. i have today and tomorrow off. then it is back to work, i am excited to find out the next step for my new job. hopefully tuesday i will have a better idea of the next steps that have to be done to facilitate the move.2

Daily Check In: Saturday
Food: Logged, over. No excuses just ate too much
Water: Good
Exercise & Steps: dog walk, yard work; 12,504 steps
Last week was a dumpster fire of letting stress take over and make one bad decision after another. Today marks the start of my birthday week. Wednesday is the big Five O! While I won't see 165 as I had hoped, 167 or 168 would be great!
Today will be a full day of yard work. Gotta get the overgrowth of grasses and weeds knocked down. Other than yoga and short dog walks, all other forms of exercise have been on the sidelines while I get outside chores done. If I can get quite a bit accomplished today hopefully I can take the dogs on a nice long hike tomorrow.
@cyndiesstuff My garden seemed to survive the last few days of cold weather but my plants aren't any bigger either. I may need to replace a few plants that don't look so well.
Wishing everyone a nice Sunday!3 -
We are on our way to the Shenandoah for a lovely day of hiking. I was up early baking blackberry handpies for our picnic. I also made curry chickpea sandwiches on chiabotta bread with fresh spinach and a ripe summer tomato, hot spicy pickes, red grapes, blue organic corn chips, popcorn and dark chocolate almond kind bars with iced peppermint tea. Want to join us?2

Daily Check In: Saturday
Food: Not logged, food good but drank more than I should have.
Water: over 64 oz
Exercise & Steps: 30 minute walk and 5,567 steps
Yesterday wasn't too bad. I didn't get on the bike, I waited too long. It just gets too crowded and it isn't worth going out. I did take a longer walk by myself so my pace was quicker than it has been. Eating actually was good. I ate what I planned to. I didn't eat at the benefit but did drink. I wasn't planning to drink but did have one more than my usual plan. Today I am pre-logged already, not sure about the bike but if I don't ride my bike, I am going to take a walk on the beach. It will be longer than I have been going. Walking seems to aggravate my hip the most so I am trying to advance slowly.
Yesterday I also was thinking about how I am basically staying at the same weight. I gain a few and lose a few but not making any real progress. I need to get my head back in the game so I decided to do the 4 circle method using my son's wedding at the end of November as my ultimate goal. I think 25 lbs at this point is reasonable. It should make a difference in my appearance and another plus is I only would have about 25 more pounds to lose to my goal. I actually have lost about 1/3 of the weight I want to lose, 25lbs would be about another 1/3 and then I would have my last 1/3 to get off.
Here are my four circles but in lines because I do not know how to do circles on the computer Lol!
Goal- Lose 25 lbs by November (5lbs/mo)
Monthly- Lose 5 lbs by August
Weekly- Lose 1-2 lbs/ week
Daily- 1300 cals/day, 64 oz daily water, 7500k steps, exercise daily 30 min, eat only when hungry, no snacks at night and watch carbs.
I know we have a week left in June, that is just bonus weight. The math was too easy starting with July. I also know I am including the month of November. Danny gets married at the end of the month, that is why I did that.
@nstephenson01 Sometimes you need to listen to your body if you are hungry. Just be sure you are hungry and fill it with fuel not junk. I know you already know what to do, you have come so far. I bet you are right about the fluid retention. Just keep drinking Lol! I am glad you are enjoying yoga. Wow! The big 5-0! I find it to be a great decade so far-I am 3 years ahead of you.
@cyndiesstuff I am sorry to hear you are struggling. Try to look at the positive things. You are having more good days than bad, you do have a counselor you can talk to and you have all of us to share your struggles with. I don't know if there are triggers to your binging? You have a lot of things going on right now, new marriage, new job, leaving the old job, your son, helping with the farm... or could a trigger be that you were super busy before the wedding and now that is all over? I am not an expect but I would think all those things would factor into it. I know you are tired of it but make your "just for today" plan. Just take one day at a time. You can do it. Don't give up on yourself. xoxo
@Mrsbell8well Enjoy your hike! Looks like you have a beautiful day for it!2 -

Week 4
Weigh in day: Sunday June 23
Previous Weight: 126.6
Todays Weight: 127
Good Morning! stuck a post-it on my bathroom mirror to remind me to weigh in before i head out for the day!
Spent yesterday volunteering at a local music festival that I have been volunteering at for the last 11 years! It’s always the same team in the beer garden so it’s fun to catch up with everyone! There’s always a lot of snacks and beer, but this year I brought my own water jug and stuck with that! I did partake in the Vegan Food Truck through and had some ‘Not-Fish Tacos’ which were so good! (i didn’t know what it was if it wasn’t fish, but i just googled their menu and it was Heart of Palm!)
Back to the office today to get a grip on the week ahead. My goal is to take time for a lunch break every day, even if it’s just 15 minutes. Get up from my desk, take a quick walk, eat lunch. I’m no good to anyone if i’m burnt out and cranky and unfocused!
Hope everyone has a great week ahead!
5 -
@cyndiesstuff i’m sorry to hear you’re struggling. one day at a time, and every day is a new day to try again! sending lots of love & support.1

@nstephenson01 i don’t remember if i ever told you we went to the suspension bridge near Troy, MT, and you were right - it was so awesome!! i didn’t want to cross it (it was so windy that day lol) but my friend made me do it! He said, ‘we didn’t walk all the way here just to look at it! Get up there!’ lol.
We’re heading back to Montana for the Under The Big Sky Fest in a few weeks, can’t wait!
