My plan is to play some golf tomorrow with the boys, they have a day off from school, so I took the day off also. Still have gardening to do, @sleepymom5 I will eventually post some pictures once my project is done. So far I’ve only bought the flowers and plants, it was to cold rainy and windy to do anything else outside last weekend. I bought a climbing rose, it’s supposed to be coral pink in colour. I’m hoping I can train it to climb the fence and not die over the winter. Never tried planting roses before.4 -
@julie8468 I love climbing roses. Sounds lovely. Good luck!
Daily check in Thursday

Water 64 oz
Exercise 40 minutes running tempo runs at 10 min mile pace.

I’m usually a very organized person. But running 2 branches has been so much fun but crazy. I keep trying to catch my breath and stay focused.
It helps that I finally got groceries back in the house. Lots of frozen meals but for now that is going to have to be good enough served with big fast salads.

yesterday was a good day! i met my daily goals. yay! and i have met my weekly goals. it is now the weekend. i did good last weekend. this weekend i will follow my plan. so that means i have to make one. i will work on that today. i am starting to feel a little better. i am building momentum. and with the help of this group, and the help of my friends, and with the help from God, i will do this. this is the last time.
@sleepymom5 what did you hear from your doctor?
@Cafelelia i am glad you got some extra sleep. it will help you deal with the issues you have in front of you. good job analyzing your ice cream sandwich thing!! you are doing great, now go get those new running shoes and get moving!!
@Mrsbell8well i am putting that recipe on my menu plan for next week. i may add some shrimp tho and skip the egg! ohhh i am so glad you talked to your mom. it's just one day. you can do this for just one day. and i am with you, TGIF!!
@ljdanny nice loss. the scale is moving in the right direction. how are you doing?
@lenka1 glad you were finally able to check in. i was getting worried about you. MFP was acting a little wonky for me too.
@GingerPwr good job at making your plan work even with the unexpected treat. you are doing great!!
@Julie8468 yayay. you had a great day yesterday. give yourself lots of credit. no really. get a piece of paper and write down all the wonderful things you did yesterday to push yourself closer to your goal. that will help you commit to memory the feeling of accomplishment. the words we say to ourselves is powerful.

Closing on my new house this morning. Weekend very busy with painting and repairing and packing and moving and unpacking and organizing! Making my food plan (thanks @cyndiesstuff) in a few quiet moments this morning. Have a great weekend team.
Updated on second thought - thanks to all who asked about my dog. She is doing okay. Still weak and off balance. But continues on the road to recovery.
Also - just realized by BMI is down 10 from the start. TEN. Yay! I feel healthier just typing that -lol.7 -

I have a very busy day today. My sons celebration for the Kinder Garden is this afternoon. Got up at 5:30 to go to the flower market. Then made 11 bouquets for all the teachers. It took me 4 hours. I'm never ever complaining again about the the price of a bouquet I have no idea if I'll be able to exercise today (just did 50 crunches and 10 burpees after I woke up) But if I eat on track I could call it a rest day.9 -

Happy to maintain given everything that’s going on. The body composition shows that muscle is up & fat is down, which is great. My sports massage was so nice yesterday as I did not have problem areas other than shoulders from typing on my computer so much.
Hope that everyone has a nice weekend!

Thursday Check In
Food - pretty darn good!
Water - great
Exercise - 10,000+ steps and yoga
Yesterday was a pretty good day although my dinner plans changed at the last minute. We had enough left over roast beef for the hubs and I heated up a couple of frozen all natural hot dogs and had 2 with a salad. It was yummy!
Tonight we have the gang over and hubs said to just pick up pizzas. Problem is, I'm dairy free, daughter is dairy free and other daughter is pregnant and not eating any food with nitrates in it. You can't tell me the meat on a pizza is not nitrate free. At least I have the day to figure out what to do. Either order a pizza without any cheese and no suspect meats with nitrate or just cook up some chicken and have a big ole' salad. I'll still get a regular pizza for the others.
Tomorrow is a day of weeding and puttering around the house and church on Saturday night. It's one of the best church services we have - quieter with older couples and I can sleep in on Sunday (HA!) Sunday, we're hoping to go hiking. It will be cooler on Sunday!
Anyhoo...have a great day everyone!7 -
Staying in control of your eating on weekends can hard but it’s by no means impossible. It may take more practice, but that doesn’t mean you can’t overcome any weekend hurdles. When it comes to unplanned food you just eat when your hungry and stop when your satisfied, that way, you won't get derailed. As long as you don’t give up and keep working on it, you WILL get better.

Practicing my positivity:
Yes! I lost 0.6!
This week I was successful in: taking my vitamins for 6 days out of 7, went to gym 4 x and brought my son every time so got to spend time with him, learned I need a better sleep routine to stay on track, learned I overeat/binge when husband is away and I’m alone and need to plan better for when he’s away.
I am reading all the posts, I need a better plan for weekends ! Tonight we are going to a bbq, then rest of weekend we are eating at home. @mrsbelle love the shoes, and that you are getting out there to run. Negotiated with my 11 year old, he WILL run with me tomorrow, but for 4 minutes (don’t know why 4?).. it’s a start. I registered the 11 year old, 13 year old and myself for a “foam fest” run in July. Basically a 5K run with an obstacle course with water, mud and lots of bubbles. Husband is NOT interested! 11 year old is pumped. Yay! We start our 4 minute training tomorrow.7 -
Daily check in for: Thursday
Logged food: Yes, under (Day 4)
Water: 64oz
Steps and Exercise: 15,516 steps
Water and food were on target. I didn’t get in any dedicated exercise time, but lots of running around with both kids home yesterday.
Today’s plan:
- Log food and stay under calories
- Drink 64 oz of water
-10,000 steps
- Exercise 30 minutes
I need to come up with a plan for the weekend. I have a list too long to get done in one weekend, so need to prioritize. Definitely will include grocery shopping, a graduation party, baseball game and yard work.
Hope everyone has a nice Friday!

@carlsoda good luck with supper! most of my husbands family are allergic to dairy. It’s hard to manage! One alternative to pizza are those little roasted bbq chickens they sell in the grocery stores that are cooked and ready to go. Side salad and wedge fries for the kiddies and we are set. I’m not much of a cook, so we often head out to Costco and buy everything ready to go there if we have a large crowd and no time to prepare.2

@lenka1 woooo whoo TOM and a weight loss. that is amazing!! and your pic looks fantastic. look at those muscles girl. your are a rock!!
@phoebe112476 sounds like your going to be just as busy as me this weekend. a good plan will help you thru. good job at putting you on top of your to do list!!
@Moarrein wow look at you with that loss! that is really great. you have really kicked it in gear. and you had a great day yesterday. totally on track. the new you is looking amazing!!
@pacsnc6 wooot wooot! and the scale goes down. you are kicking it girl! now what will you do today to further yourself to your goal?
@carlsoda I agree, we will call that a maintain. good job. now make a commitment to stay away from the chocolate this week. unless you plan it as your joy food!! ummmm did you put the hotdogs in your salad? hmmmmm.... yeah pizza does not sound like the answer for you guys. I think the salad and the pizza sounds like a good plan. I love @julie8468 idea of the chicken too. that would work I think!!
@Cafelelia maintains are good. you keep working your plan and the scale will move.
@eyesopennow ok we will take it. don't be bummed you and I both know that the scale is a fickle b****. so. what are you going to do today? don't you let that stop you. you have been working your plan. take some time today, to write out all your credit worthy acts that you have done to further yourself to your goal. just because is doesn't show on the scale doesn't mean you did not have a successful week. shake it off and move on buddy!!
@Julie8468 wooooooo whoooo you did it! and wow you did have a great week. love the new you you are building. and that is great that you are teaching your children the important of physical activity.
@Shirin_K you really have been doing great! we are going to do it this time. once and for all. no giving up. this is our new life and this is how we live it!!

Check in for Wed and Thurs
Food not logged and over
Water good Wed, not good Thursday
Exercise and Steps-none and very low...
Sorry I was MIA. I am at the shore and will be more consistent now. I did well both Wed and Thursday eating during the day but went out to eat for dinner and didn't make good choices.I am over it. I really don't do well if I don't eat healthy. I also think my weight is up from that and traveling. I will see where I am at on Sunday after 2 good days of eating healthy and drinking my water. I really think I stayed the same, I did well for the most part while I was away.
My hip...getting worse. Yesterday was bad, today is back to my regular not good. The doctor wants me to get an xray and go to an orthopedic doctor. I will get the xray Tuesday most likely and then see when I can get in to see a doc. I am close enough at the shore to travel back for doctors appointments. In fact Tuesday-Friday I will be back in PA doing that.
Ok, I have to run. I actually forgot it was Friday. I want to get to the store before it gets too crazy down here. I took so much time commenting that I really have to get moving! I love we are such an active group!
@Shirin_K Nice loss! Wow! School is out! It is nice to have the children not on such a strict schedule for a few months. You have been doing great so keep it up! I am sure with the kids around those steps will be even higher! You have been doing awesome lately!
@Julie8468 I love how you worked out during your son's PT-great job! Your one post got me to thinking about my evening routine. I am not sure if I have one! Lol! That is just as important as the day AND where I have my snacking problem...You gave me something to think about! That is why I love this group, I am always learning! I did enjoy your bakery pics . That place must be amazing! I have no problems looking at the pics but I could never work there! Lol! That run sounds fun! I love that your kids are doing it with you!
@pacsnc6 Nice loss! What a giving person you are. I love the idea of the back pack buddies. I hope you are able to find a way for your blind friend to crochet. I wish I had some tips.
@cyndiesstuff I am so happy to hear that the interview process is advancing. Awesome! What an awesome check in for the past few days! You are going to have an awesome weekend! I forgot it was the weekend until you posted. I need to make a plan!
@Mrsbell8well Oh Angelina, what a tough situation to be in. I hope you can convince your Mom to stay with you. Maybe she is worried about your sister and thinks she is going back there to help. My mom wanted to drive me to the airport and help with my luggage because of my hip. I guess in their minds they still want to help their children. I also had a thought when I was reading the part about your sister telling your mom that you will figure it out as far as the house goes. Maybe your Mom doesn't want to go and is trying to find excuses and your sister isn't taking them. Hopefully you can have a discussion with your parents and find out how they truly feel. I am also thinking of your dad, how would he feel if something happens to your Mom and he possibly could be stuck out there. That is a huge move, I just keep thinking of her in the hospital with difficulty breathing and I just can't see her making a move back to the west coast. Hugs to you my friend. Btw- I haven't tried acupuncture I will see what the doctor says first but will keep it in mind for down the road. Also, I want a signed copy of that book! xoxo . Lol! with the running shoes, it could have been worse, you could have had two of the same feet!
@Cafelelia Hugs to you and your son. I know how difficult it is to have a child struggle with something. We need to keep ourself going during these difficult times. Hang in there and check in even when you don't want to. My guess is that is exactly when you should be checking in. I also agree about a maintain after how things have been. Hang in there! Stress is part of life, we need to be able to stay on track through these times. I am working on this as well. It is not easy...
@Moarrein Congrats to your little guy on his last day of kindergarten! How did his shirt come out? You are so sweet making up all those bouquets! I am sure the teachers loved them! You are really stringing together a bunch of successful days! You are doing awesome!
@carlssoda I agree, that is basically maintaining. Good job getting back on track after the treats. You know I feel the same way about PNP! I feel like there are so many podcasts and free things that I wouldn't consider joining unless I got through all of those. Lol! You have been doing so well and are so close to goal. It must be a great feeling! Hugs! Sounds like you have a nice weekend planned. I would go with Salad for dinner. Unless you can get one without cheese and with veggies....
@nstephenson01 Wow!! Nice loss girl!!
@ljdanny Nice loss!
@lenka1 Nice loss! Especially when TOM is involved. Lol! MFP has been wacky lately. I heard a lot of complaints on my newsfeed about it.
@GingerPwr Nice choices! I love Chicken Piccata!
@phoebe112476 I am so excited for you! How many awesome changes you have made to your life in such a short time. I forget exactly but around a year. I know it is a lot of work but have fun settling into your new place! Hugs!
@eyesopennow Don't let that discourage you. That is basically a maintain. I know from my newsfeed that you have been consistent with your logging and exercise. Your steps have been increasing. You are doing great, the scale will catch up. Do not let it derail you. If your anything like me, it comes of slow but it really comes back on quickly! Hugs to you! '5 -
@carlsoda frozen pizza and a salad. I buy 4 different kinds. Paul Newman has nitrate free pepperoni. Amy’s has roasted vegetables vegan. We also get cauliflower crust white sauce gluten free and a generic pizza for normal people.2

@Mrsbell8well "for normal people" .2

Hello & TGIF! So happy the weekend is here!
Sorry I have not been posting much this last week, we have been busy! Sunday I went hiking with my friend, Monday was my younger son's 15th birthday, Tuesday was my 20th wedding anniversary, tonight we are going out to eat with my in-laws and tomorrow we have a surprise 30th birthday party for my hubby's friend. Lots of happy times to celebrate, but we ate out on Monday & Tuesday and back out to eat tonight & tomorrow. Although my workouts got neglected, I did go to the gym last night, I ate well. I followed 18:6 IF all week and tried to make somewhat smart food choices. I did enjoy myself, but I didn't go crazy and stuff myself.
There is definitely going to be a gain this week. The lack of workouts really screwed up my weight-loss. I am feeling ok with it. I will get back on track tomorrow morning and through next week which should give me a nice loss, I am hoping to be in the 150's by next weekend.
I am trying to catch up with all your posts, I feel like I have been out of the loop.
Have a wonderful weekend!3 -

@Cafelelia I am so sorry you are having a hard time! I am not sure what issues he is having, but my son was diagnosed with dyslexia, ADHD and has an auditory processing disorder, which makes school very difficult for him. He hates it and I have spent many days crying for him and his difficulties. I have had many meetings, phone called and e-mails with his counselor & teachers.
I just wanted you to know you are not alone, we all have struggles. Not sure if this makes you feel any better, as long as I didn't make you feel worse! xoxo2 -
I have had a busy week. We had graduations at the childcare center I work at. I ate a cupcake and ice cream today and now feel like crap. I had physical therapy this week, plus my son had to see a neurologist, they think he has a rare form of amnesia, not sure what else can happen to this kid. He also had to go have his stomach checked out. But I did get to walk for an hour while he was at an appointment. Felt good. I start logging my food then forget the complete my diary.4
-
@kirsten11872 Isn't it a good feeling when you can enjoy the celebrations and not go off track?! Nice job!
@lennoncpa That is basically a maintain for this week. Hope all is going well. I know you are doing well exercising! You are so consistent!
@ljdanny Your poor son! I guess this amnesia stems from the accident? How is his stomach? Is he pain free or getting close to it at least. Poor guy. Sending hugs to both of you. Great job going for a walk when he was at the appointment. I do the same with logging. I log all day then forget to complete the diary. It still counts though!3 -

It was a bit scary tonight. I came home to find Molly making chili cheese nachos. Skylynn was eating a peanut butter sandwich on thick rye bread from one of the local bakers. I confiscated her sandwich and ate 3 maybe 4 bites. Then on to the bag of pita chip crumbles left at the bottom of the bag. Oh no! I had to do some fast talking. Avoided nachos ate my snack apple and on to my measured out air popcorn. Skylynn switched to nachos so I saved the rest of her sandwich for my tomorrow snack. I’m not that kind of an eater/grazer. How fast we can get out of control. So glad to be home after a long Friday. I didn’t eat all my almond butter today so my calories are fortunately still in the zone and I logged my snack attack. Except for the pita crumbs. I don’t think that counts lol.
Have a happy weekend everyone and behave!5 -

Sitting on my heating pad, drinking peppermint tea and looking up what could possibly be wrong with my hip. Glad that I looked up to see the beautiful sunset. It is actually redder than this, I don't know why it photographed different. Hope everyone has a nice evening!
