Yesterday I had planned to make peanut butter chocolate bars and blackberry oat bars for the freezer. Nope I have 6 weeks to get serious. Had a big salad for dinner that I didn’t want. Turned out it was delicious! I’m so happy to be focused again.
Today’s plan log and yoga3 -
ohhhh I am so nervous. I did spend some time today creating responses to the standard behavioral questions. my company is big on them. so now I have like 8 situations that could fit quite a few questions. the interview is tomorrow morning at 830.
@pacsnc6 ohhh yea! one snack. you can do this. what will you do when you get the urge to snack? have you thought of some other things you can do in it's place?
@Moarrein I got your weigh in day changed to Friday, so you are all set there. ohhh yea! girls got a plan and she is executing it!! when you execute your plan consistently it helps build momentum. your doing great! I love to dance while I clean!! such a great use of energy. and sing too. singing produces feel good hormones! win win
@Cafelelia you have a very good plan. you can totally do this. june is going to be a great month.
@carlsoda love your 4 circles!! keep up that consistency! you are a rock star!!
@sleepymom5 omgosh. what a great NSV. you analyzed your plan, learned from your behavior and are changing it so it meets your goals. I am sooooo proud of you. this is the last time we are losing this weight girl.
@jedaschultz hey Deb!! vacation got ya! time to buckle down. it will come off fast. how are you doing? what are your goals for june? what's your plan lady?
@ljdanny ohhhh yea. good job at preplanning you walk while you wait. that is great work.
@eyesopennow you are killing it with those steps. do you know how many miles that is? you have come a long way literally! we got this. how often do you weigh? is it just once a week? how much water do you drink? do you make a 24 hour plan in advance of your day?
@bmaison2014 that's fine. get out there and get that battery. how are you doing? did you make a plan for june?
@Mrsbell8well my rental's lease will be up at the end of this month. they have been great tenants. rent always on time and house looks great but lived in! I will continue on with them on a month to month basis is they would like. I really don't feel like looking for more great tenants. but if they are leaving and they may be because he is in the military and he may get stationed somewhere else. there will be tons of work we have to do to get it ready to rerent. but it has provided us with a great income over the last two years. and log and yoga it is. so far so good. I see you have logged everything but your dinner. were gonna do this Angelina! this is our time!

Good luck! You won't need it, though -- you are prepared, you are qualified, and you are the right fit. They already know this, you just have to make them realize it!cyndiesstuff wrote: »@eyesopennow you are killing it with those steps. do you know how many miles that is? you have come a long way literally! we got this. how often do you weigh? is it just once a week? how much water do you drink? do you make a 24 hour plan in advance of your day?
I step on the scales every morning, but the daily fluctuations don't get me excited. I am getting at least 8 glasses of water a day now, and have been for about a month. (Prior to that it was about 6.) I stepped up the water when I really stepped up the walking -- I haven't been below 10000 steps in several weeks.
As for 24 hour plans...... telling you the truth, no I do not. I plan lunch each morning (I usually pack it from whatever is in the fridge and freezer.) I plug that into MFP as I am packing it, and the total calories for lunch determines whether I have anything for breakfast. I do my very best to stay under 650 calories most days for lunch and breakfast combined.
I cannot plan dinner, Wyfe controls that, but she tries to avoid multiple starches and sugar for me. But I can at least react to whatever is for dinner -- limit portions or skip certain things she's prepared. I plan the day around a total of 1200-1350 calories (plus a small portion of exercise calories earned) but how I get there isn't really well planned. Make sense?
The biggest bugaboo is having to manage blood sugar highs and lows. I take insulin, and the amount I take is dependent in what the finger prick reading is. Walking more or yoga or whatever burns sugar, and depending on what insulin I have on board and how long it's been in there and when/what I ate last, I may have to feed the beast to stop shaking from a sudden dip in sugar. I try to adjust the insulin on the front end as well, but managing sugar while limiting calories is a lot like driving a car on ice -- there is a tendency to overcorrect no matter which way you are sliding. And of course insulin itself has a tendency to inhibit weight loss. So the sooner I can get the weight off, the sooner I can stop taking so much of the drug, etc. If you look at today's lunch, for instance -- cup of green beans, cup of pasta with low fat cheese, 3/4 cup sauteed squash, 10 cherries and two small red peppers totaling 357 calories -- I consider that pretty successful (okay, the pasta was a little indulgent). But by 2:30 I needed a hershey's miniature from a nearby candy jar because my sugar was at 60 postprandial and I was quivering. And I am not quite feeling "right" yet! And that's 45 calories that look like I am chowing down but are in reality quasi-medical.
All that being said.... I am keeping my eyes on where I want to get to, and trying to just manage the midcourse correction issues as I go. Call that a plan?

@cyndiesstuff I drink tons of water so I'm good there. I've lost lots of times before so I know what works. My goal for June is to be less than what I was for my May starting weight(194.4. Im 196 right now.) My goal for the summer is get back to 189. I'm going to try to stick to 1200 calories or less and make sure I'm counting and recounting every single thing I eat.
@sleepymom5 I dont take measurements anymore. I used to. But no my clothes aren't fitting any different. I'm trying to stay under 1200 calories this week and hopefully I will see a loss on Saturday3 -
Hello and happy Monday everyone. I feel like I’m slowly getting back on track. The right frame of mind is essential to success and it takes away the “pain” of a healthy lifestyle. I don’t know if that makes sense but when I’m struggling with eating healthy it’s a mentally painful process. The pain makes me get down on myself in so many areas of my life. So I’m starting to feel like I can breathe better. And I can stop hating myself!!!4

@Mrsbell8well oh my gosh, thank you so much for the yogurt tip! i had my morning pill with half of a yogurt cup, and i saved the other half of the yogurt for my afternoon pill, and it worked! i didn’t feel nauseous at all! thank you so much! ❤️3

Good luck tomorrow, @cyndiesstuff - you’re going to do so great, i just know it!1

Good luck tomorrow @cyndiesstuff ! You got this!
The situational interview is what we do at my work also. My tip would be to make sure you identify and discuss how the scenario impacts each person/company and how you would address it. Ex. So each perspective in the scenario: The client, your boss, your employee, the team, the company’s reputation and mission, the quality or timelines for delivery of the service or product, etc..1 -

Food Logged and on track
Water 96 oz

I had a good day today. It is like my attitude just turned around after my little light bulb moment this am. I ate well and logged. I still had Halo top after dinner but it was in my plan. I am not sure if I can check in again until tomorrow night. I have to get out of here early and want to walk on the beach. I leave on Wednesday. I can't wait to go home.
@jedaschultz Hope you enjoyed your vacation! Now back to work!
@ljdanny Great job getting up so early to work out! I do the Leslie Sansone on YouTube incase you have your heart set on it and that happens again. How did it work out with you all trying to get out the door at the same time? Hopefully smoothly.
@eyesopennow Wow! That is amazing! Great job!! It must be pretty cool to look back and see how awesome you have been doing!
@bmaison2014 No problem! Hopefully the battery does the trick!
@Mrsbell8well Another productive weekend! Glad you are focused again!
@cyndiesstuff Good luck tomorrow! I know you will do great!
@eyesopennow Sounds like you have a good plan, diabetes does make things more difficult!
@Zumba_Luvah Great goals! You got this!
@lennoncpa A lot of this is mental. Negative self talk doesn't help at all. Why don't your try to focus on what you are doing well instead of what you aren't happy with. There are no "failures" sometimes you go off plan and that is ok. Just learn from it and move on.
@gottagetthisdown I have your weight last week as 168.3 so that is a great loss this week! The week before you were at 165. Hope all is going well!1 -

Exercise 20 minutes yoga, 30 minutes walk

yesterday was a good day. i ate on track. i felt snacky in the evening, so i journaled about it. i did have an evening snack but it was the bluest of blueberries. they were devine!! i drank my water. i told myself i am a success more than 5 times. i met my goals!! yay. today is my interview. i am a bundle of nerves. i shouldn't be but you know how us humans are. good thing is it is first thing this morning then i can move on with my day. so today, my plan is:
after my interview, i will spend 5 minutes in meditation to refocus my mind.
my mantra for today is, "i no longer quit on myself" at least 5 time
10k steps
30 minute walk
eat when hungry and stop when satisified
if i get snacky, i will journal about it first
it is going to be a late night for me tonite. i am getting my hair colored and i am going to try on the two dresses i have picked for my wedding and get my friends advice on which one she thinks looks best. my life is crazy stress right now. lol. If God only gives you how much you can handle, he must think i am a real bad a**.6 -
@eyesopennow i have noticed that you are really upping your step count. are you still doing your yoga? and good job at getting in that water. as you know it is very important. have you and you lovely wife ever thought about menu planning and food prepping for the week on the previous weekend? maybe it is a change that might help. it would be an adjustment at first but then you would know exactly what you were eating most days. just a thought. and it does make sense. and the insulin thing is a tough one. are you insulin dependent forever? or if you lose this weight would you be able to stop? and todays lunch looks like a huge win. and the noodles are not indulgent at all. everything in moderation!! no and i get that your candy is medical. my mom has a container of skittles just for the same purpose. and i love your plan, its a little willy nilly like you!! good job Buddy!!
@Zumba_Luvah you are doing awesome at making your plan. i love it!!
@lennoncpa ohhh man. lets talk about positive self talk and self soothing. a lot of us were never taught how to do this. i really think that this is something that could really help you. the words we say to ourselves are very powerful. try writing out some positive encouraging statements and then practice saying them to yourself out loud every time you go to the bathroom. not; i will stop eating junk. stop and junk are negative. say, i feed my body with top quality fuel. See the difference? i talk to myself in the mirror. it seems silly at first but if no one has ever told you how great you are or that you are successfully managing your life, who better to tell you than yourself.
@gottagetthisdown hey girl! nice loss. i am showing a different previous weight for you. how are you doing? what is you plan for june? what will you start, stop, and keep doing? time to make a plan. we are going to do this in june.
@twyla77 thanks! i am hoping this is part of my new path.
@Julie8468 thanks! i am going to do this with style!! and great tips on the interview. i include my boss in my situations but didn't think about including the company as a whole. great idea.
@sleepymom5 look at you go girl. old behavior snuck in and you grabbed that ball and pushed it down the other side of the hill. did you yell at it, something like, "get over here, we don't do that anymore, this is the way we do it now" lol! you continue to amaze me! and thanks for the luck. now i am ready to just get it over with and move on.
@Moarrein wow you had a great day yesterday. on track, it was just one day and you conquered it. the more days you do that the more momentum you will build.
@Mrsbell8well ohh, that would be great if you worked on you book. whats it about? you have a safe drive to your meeting

Hello everyone! I have looked over the guides the nutritionist gave me and I didn't actually find a lot of it helpful. I am into convenient things that I can prep in advance on Sunday or even a couple days a week but I do not like have to prep a meal everyday. There were some things in the guide that I can use such as the calorie boosters. I need to go back to last year when I lost almost 10 lbs and see what I did differently. I will continue to see the nutritionist and tell her how I felt about the meal planning guide and see where we go from there. I know for sure 1 thing I need to work on is the amount of sleep I get each night. I would like to get up in the morning before work to do the weights portion of my workout then get a light jog in after work in order to do that I need to get to bed at a decent time. So I plan to work on getting at least 7 hours of sleep each night starting next week. I hope you all enjoy your day!5
-
@phoebe112476 wow. that is a great loss. how is your puppy doing? are you all moved in yet?
@gottagetthisdown definitely have a talk with your nutritionist. let her know how you prepare your food. it can be done and it can be done healthy. I do most of my meal planning and prep work on Sunday. Then, during the week, everything is ready to just put together, 20 minutes tops. and your right sleep needs to be a priority for you. that is when your body does all it's rebuilding. a big part of successful weight loss is the proper amount of sleep. and what worked last year may not work again this year. just be ready for that possibility. you have changed since last year.0 -
Monday Check in
Food - was going well until my coworker brought me back chocolate bars from Canada (which are my favorite) and I couldn't say no to them. But my goodness it was D E L I C I O U S !!!
Water - great
Exercise - almost 13,000 steps and yoga!
Today is a new day and I've committed to not having any sweet afternoon treats. That's my biggest problem I have. I eat a very healthy lunch but I'm just craving sweet foods. I haven't decided if it's because I'm tired or stressed or just a habit but I need to figure it out. One day at a time though..and today I won't give in.
My 1% today will be taking an extra lap at the mall when I take my lunch walk.
Food is already prelogged for the day!
@cyniesstuff - GOOD LUCK!!! I am sending you tons of positive vibes!!
@sleepymom5 - great job yesterday!!
@Mrsbell8well - good job having a salad for lunch and actually realizing it was delicious!!5 -
I got up early to walk on the beach and my hip is killing me. It has never been this painful. I have a doctors appointment the week after I get back. I will have to move it up if this continues. I did my stretches, took ibuprofen and iced it. Hopefully I can walk later. I am not sure if I pushed it yesterday. I did have a similar thing happen to me in Georgia and my friend thought it was related to the long drive a couple of days earlier. I forget the exact timing though. Oh well, I forgot I needed to wash a few of my Mom's blankets so maybe after lunch or after dinner I can wash them and walk on the beach between. The washer is 1/2 hour and dryer is an hour. I am staying in a VRBO condo and a nice lady who lives here full time told me one of the dryers work without putting money in! She told me she liked me because she was struggling to get in the door and I helped her. Lol! Oh well, I better get moving. I need to wash my hair again. I don't know why but it feels like I still have conditioner in it or something. I can't believe I would be so distracted during my shower that I wouldn't rinse my hair properly but looks like I did . Lol!
@Mrsbell8well I still think you should write a blog but I will take a story...Lol! Have a great day!
@cyndiesstuff Another good day! I like it! Sending good vibes your way for the interview! At least it will be a late night with good things. Enjoy! Love your plan for the day too. It was so weird yesterday, it was like a lightbulb! I am not going down that path again, you dragged me kicking and screaming from there and I am not going back Lol! Remember when you would post things like the one you posted today about patience and I would think you were speaking to me Lol! You are awesome! That is why I know you will do great today!
@phoebe112476 Amazing loss! Although, I know you don't want to lose too quickly, I can't help but be happy for you Lol! I think it must be all the running around and getting ready for the move that is contributing to your loss.
@gottagetthisdown I can see where it would be a better fit to have meals that can be prepped ahead of time, especially a busy Mom like you. I am sure if you mention this to the nutritionist, she should be able to guide you. It sounds like you have a good plan with the exercise and sleep. People seem to get busy and sleep is the first thing to get taken away. Have a great week!
