@Julie8468 Did you get to play golf like you planned? I love golfing with my husband.
Weekend plan:
Light breakfast and lots of water
Graduation party tonight for our oldest- I want to have a small piece of cake so I have to balance for that.
Sunday, playing tennis with the younger son so I'll have a heavier breakfast. Will probably cook a big family meal for supper.
Water water water.3 -
Daily check in Friday
Food fell into a bag of cheesey puffs
Water 60 oz
Exercise 30 minutes walk, 20 minute stretching
Steps 18100 steps
lets start with the great things i did yesterday. i made it thru work without sleeping or going crazy. i drank my water, did my stretching, took my walk, and was very active. long day at work. i had nothing to do. i watched a lot of videos, read a lot of research and sat around brain dead for most of the day, when i got home, we went right to the farm to work on the hydraulics on the lift box. yayay we fixed it, I hope. today is going to be really busy and physically demanding. we are laying gravel in the driveway at our rental. and then mowing my folks grass, our grass, billys grass, and the grass at the farm. lets talk about the snack attack last nite for a minute. we didn't get home from the farm until 8. i was starving. we had left over spagetti for dinner. i had let myself get way to hungry and just ate. i thought about it and ate anyway. i should have used some of my tools. i am working on the willingness to do that. so today is one day. i can do one day. i have made a plan a healthy plan, i will do this.
@kirsten11872 sometimes we will have those weeks where it is very difficult to follow any sort of plan. that is why we just do this one day at a time. what is your next best step? and move on. your doing just fine Kristen.
@lennoncpa we will take that as a maintain. what will you do today to further you to your goal?
@ljdanny lol when we eat like crap we feel like crap. why do we do this to ourselves? i know things are very tough with your son. i am very sorry for his troubles. after my car accident, i had amnesia. that is not fun. still to this day i have problems converting short term memory to long term memory. but the good news is, you develop coping skills to get thru. you do adapt. hang in there
@Mrsbell8well i just read your post and realized that i called it a snack attack too. your right. enough of that crap. dust off the cheesey puff crumbs (or in your case pita chip crumbs) and move on. today is one day. we can do this today. what are your plans for the day chicky?
@hkfleming we will take it. maintains are good. how are you doing?
@sleepymom5 ohhh soooo pretty. what a beautiful pic. you are a lucky girl to have such a lovely place to escape too.
@GingerPwr ohhh congrats for your graduate!! what a beautiful time in your life. look mom, your hard work is showing!!

When I let my eating get out of control in the evening, it makes my evening worse, not better, because I end up feeling guilty and bad. Staying in control of my eating makes the whole evening better because I feel so much better – and then I don’t have to worry about getting back on track when tomorrow begins, because I will have been on track the whole time.4 -
Okay people lets get Saturday in the books, What are you doing today to further yourself to your goal? i am off to to exercise!! have a great one.3

Slept great. Spent the last hour scrolling through Facebook etc. plans for the weekend...
Once I get moving I’m heading out to my daughters new home and spending the day organizing my granddaughters bedroom. My daughter is trying to master her decorating skills. I will offer input but mainly want to sort through all of Skylynn’s toys, clothes, and mountains of paperwork and doo-dads. It will be an all day job. We’re also planning to go on a small run together. They convinced me to do the 4th of July 5k run with them.
Tomorrow I’m putting Murphy oil down on all the floors at the Cottage. Molly is changing the toilet seats and other odds and ends. Renters moving in Friday.
I also want to transfer my story onto the computer as I edit my first draft. Some light house cleaning.
Still exploring Ayurvedic eating plan and adjustments I’m needing to implement.
Hannah, Robins “stepdaughter” also wants to go vegan. She’s 12. Skylynn also prefers vegan. So we have 4 of us now going to a plant based diet. We’re planning monthly potlucks.
Food this weekend is good. Now that I am stocked. Robin is making us dinner tonight but she is very health conscious.
Enjoy your weekend everyone!3 -
Here are challenge questions for my teammates..

For me:

4.6
July 10th, 2019

@Mrsbell8well I’m just around 133.
My goal weight was 128 initially but I think I want to get to 123-125 range but no time frame. As those last pounds are too hard but I’ll get there!
@cyndiesstuff my plan for today is upper body work out in the am, 20-30 min jog at night , take my kid to pool some and eat a pound of strawberries:D as we went and picked 14lbs last night
I am being pretty strict til vacation so no problem sticking to my meals and wo now.
We are going to the shore next weekend for 6 days! That will def mess up my weight ha but it’s one of my fav weeks in the year so... no regrets 4 -
Breakfast for me and Skylynn6 -
Finally was able to squeeze in a yoga class yesterday after a 3 week hiatus. Fell asleep on the couch watching the NBA Finals. Headed to the Farmer's Market first thing this morning. A Friday yoga class and stocking up on fresh veggies sets me up for a successful weekend. Back in the 160's this morning!! Today's food is pre-logged. Its raining and down in the 40's so gardening is on hold. They're talking about snow in the higher elevations. I tucked all my plants that I haven't yet planted safely in my little greenhouse. Hope they stay warm. Going to take a rest day today and relax. Its been a busy week.
My husband asked last night what my goal weight is. I told him it used to be 175 but when I got there I wasn't satisfied. Maybe 165? 155? He replied at 155 he'd have to put weights on my feet so I don't blow away in the wind. Gotta love him LOL!!
Beautiful picture @sleepymom5! Very nice to see first thing this morning
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend! And like @Mrsbell8well says "Behave" LOL!!

Daily log for Friday June 7:
Logged: yes, over
Water: lots, maybe 3L
Steps: 20,418.
@GingerPwr i did golf in the morning, me and the boys 18 holes. Then my 13yrold had lessons at 4:30, then we had another 5 holes as part of the golf club’s family night with husband and another family (golf at 6 then a bbq at 7:20). My husband loves golf. The boys take lessons so they are good, I on the other hand enjoy the walking, the nature, the time with them and no electronics. I do not keep score of my results, I loose a ball pretty much every second hole, and pretty inconsistent in how far I shoot, I am enjoying golf with them, but not my own performance. The boys give me lessons and tips along the way. Husband will try to give tips, but doesn’t end well... we basically agree I need lessons, but from someone else. I like that you also golf with your husband! Do your boys play also?
My goals today: get boys clothes organized for warmer weather, get camping gear for 11yrold for school trip next week, go to gym (on my own), some gardening, laundry, bring water bottle with me everywhere.4 -
Daily log for Friday June 7:
Logged: no, over
Water: forced myself to get 64 oz
Exercise and Steps-none and around 5,500
I am doing ok until the evening and then snack very late, like right before bed. My weight is up from yesterday when I was hoping it would be drifting down. When I get off of here, I am going to pre log my food for the day. I think for the next few days I need to plan a snack for at night. I overeat with the halotop so I am going to have it on a cone and then that is it. No more. I think my problem is that need to get back into the habit of planning and writing down what I am eating and doing each day. I usually do it the night before and that was working for me. So my goals for the day are-getting water in, pre logging food and following the plan for the day, exercise and enjoy eating on plan and being at the shore. As far as exercise goes, I plan to exercise only in 15-20 min intervals. Hoping to do bike and walk, maybe kayak. I am worried I won't be able to get back out with my hip Lol! I think if I do only 15 min I should do fine. I also am going to focus on positive things. The only thing that is going through my mind is how I am wasting time down here, I could be walking on the beach, kayaking, biking and cleaning. Instead, I am going to think-it is what it is. Enjoy not having to do anything. I ordered a bunch of books, I am going to sit out on the deck and read. I am also going shopping this morning. Steps are bad for me so I am going to go down only twice a day (hopefully) . One time to walk Daisy and then stay down and ride bike and go shopping. Then the next time I go down it will be to walk Daisy and hopefully Kayak. I also would like to walk at least to the beach. I don't know if the sand would be a good thing for me to walk in. Hope everyone has a great day!
@Mrsbell8well I am sure being tired and just getting home after a long week didn't help matters. Great job realizing what was going on and reeling it in! Looks like you have a busy weekend planned! Enjoy! My goal is 145 and no time frame. The only goal I have is to show a loss each month and I have done that since November. Slow, steady and no regrets. I started with 75 to lose and now I am at 50 so I am getting there and learning a lot as I go.
@hkfleming The scale is going in the right direction! Hope all is well!
@julie8468 That is what they thought I had but since it is getting worse they are sending me for an xray and to an orthopedic doctor. I hope it is nothing big but I am getting nervous. Golf sounds lovely, especially with your boys. They probably feel good giving you tips. Sounds like you have a nice weekend planned. Have fun!
@GingerPwr Congrats to your son for his graduation! Enjoy your weekend! Sounds like you have a good plan!
@cyndiesstuff Getting too hungry does it for me too. I have to find a place between getting hungry isn't going to kill you or get you pregnant and getting too hungry that everything goes out the window. I think for now we may have to plan a snack in when we know we aren't going to eat until late. We know our bodies but we also know when we are feeding ourself bullsh*t, we have to just figure this all out. You have been doing great AND have a good (exhausting Lol!) plan for the weekend. This time next week you will be a married woman hopefully on a Honeymoon! What did you end up planning?
@lenka1 Enjoy the shore! You picked a good week, not too busy, July and beginning of August gets a little crazy down here.
@nstephenson01 Maybe one day I will be up early enough to take a sunrise pic Lol! It must be a great feeling to be at your goal and want to keep going! You are really making lifestyle changes and not "dieting" . You are an inspiration!

Water - 1.5 l
Exercise - Physio and 14804 steps (!)
So the big news is getting that many steps without pain, which has not happened since last September. Very excited! I was fitted for better shoes and will try them out later today. My husband and I had an impromptu date night last night, so it was hard to plan the meal in advance. We went for a very long walk before so was a great solution. Of course, watched the Raptors last night and the entire city is very excited (sorry to any Golden State fans, but this is such a huge deal for us). There are mini "Jurassic Parks" all over the city (and the country for that matter). Our local park set up a giant screen and about 1000 people showed up. We will watch the next game there if it's not raining.
@Moarrein - Best of luck with the 15k tomorrow!
@sleepymom5 - that is a beautiful view and sunset! Thank you for your kind words as well!
@kirsten11872 - Thank you so much for your post. I really appreciate it and it helps to know that I am not alone. My son is in a very similar situation. The meetings, assessments and appointments are endless. I find that the bad times come in waves. There are good school years and bad ones. This year was a bad one with transition to junior high, a bunch of new teachers and kids, and of course, hormones. Kids and even some of the parents can be insensitive and sometimes pretty mean. We try to love and support him as much as humanly possible, but we feel like we are failing in the bad times. Our current difficulty is that because he is agitated lately and the therapist suspects anxiety, we decided with the school that he should withdraw from an upcoming class trip to another city. He was understanding about it, but I am just so sad that things have to be this way for him. We have another assessment booked next weekend when he would have been away on the fun trip. My way of dealing with things is to shut down emotionally myself so that I am strong for him, and it also enables me to go into action for him. I also worry that we are ignoring our younger son, who does not have these issues and I do not want him to feel like we do not have time for him. I am trying my best to be mindful and not live in crisis mode this time. I have leaned on my mom and my friends to step in for some support for me and him. It helps that I can finally get back to running (those endorphins are a boost). My husband and I support each other, but it is hard as we are both experiencing the same thing. Anyway, I really appreciate you telling me about your son, and sending you a big hug!5 -
So far so good....Got out and rode the bike 15 min, could have gone longer but I am afraid to push it. I also walked Daisy for 15 min. Hoping to get another 15 min in later today. It is really windy out so no Kayak today. We will see what tomorrow brings.
@kirsten11872 It sounded like you were expecting a gain this week. I know you are back at the gym and have a plan for the weekend so you are already back on track! Keep it going and I know you will have a loss next weekend!
@bmaison2014 Great job with getting your exercise in early! It makes things so much easier! Hope you had fun in IKEA, that will get you a lot of steps! That place is huge! I haven't been in an IKEA for a while, I love browsing around there!
@Moarrein Wow! Amazing workouts today!! Good luck tomorrow on your 15K! You will do great!
@Cafelelia That is great news to get in so many steps without the pain! I hope you enjoyed your date night. I am sure you and the hubs needed it with so many things going on. Also congrats on your Raptors! It is exciting and fun when your team is winning! Good luck on Monday!1 -

What is the saying "luck is when opportunity meets preparation" or something like that... you'll do great on your 15K @Moarrein!!

yesterday was a super busy day, i am sooo thankful i stay on my plan. got up early and exercised. then started laundry. brushed mack, gave him a bath, then blow dried him and gave him another brushing. i think i almost got his winter coat gone. have of it was on my living room floor so i vacuumed too. then we went to the rental and redid the driveway. i drove the truck with the trailer and the big tractor and jim drove the semi with the load of gravel. hard work. but it turned out really nice. came back home and ate lunch. and then i worked on laundry while jim started mowing the lawn. the temptation to eat was very strong. i prayed and talked myself out of it numerous time. then after laundry was almost all done, i went to the garage and cleaned out the garden tool area. one six foot cabinet and 6 drawers. cleaned and organized. then to the garden we went. my oregano and chives are growing like the weeds!! i weeded around them and then we were finally able to get on the garden with the rototiller. it was a muddy mess but the soil has finally been turned. we are going to rototill it one more time today and then plant our veggies. finally!! i am sooooo excited about that. so today is meal plan and shop and prep day. then to my folks to mow the grass, then to the farm to mow the grass, then work on the veggie garden. and all that and i will eat as planned as well.
@Mrsbell8well isn't it wonderful when you sleep good. you are so good at decorating. you should do that as a hobby when you retire. redecorate and organize your space with Angelina!! i will help. i take great direction and have a pinky full of fashion sense! wow, another run for you! look at the woman you have built! she is amazing. did you try that recipe that i posted? i am going to have that on my menu plan this week. any tweeks you can think of? And as for your challenge questions:
My goal weight is 130 pounds
Pounds to lose 23.5
I really don't have a time in mind as a date. but at 3 pounds a month that would be 8 months or January 2020.
And your breakfast looks sooooo yummy!!! mmmmm diet food!!
@lenka1 sounds like you have a great plan. ohhhh and your going to the shore. i hope your trip is fabulous!!
@nstephenson01 ohhhh yeah YOGA. you go girl. i am soo glad you made that scale go back down after your little hiatus. ewwwwwhhhh no more snow. yuck. make it go away. so which is is? what is your ultimate goal weight? and i am behaving.... are you? lol ummmm you dinner looks amazing! i just love diet food!!! i could just dive right into that salad. love love love avacado!!
@Julie8468 wow, sounds like your saturday is jam pack with stuff. what is in your garden?
@sleepymom5 snacking before bed is a tough one. it is a problem for a lot of us. and a snack before bed is no necessarily a bad thing if done with moderation. but usually by that point we are tired and have a very hard time stick to a serving. during the day we have energy and other things to occupy our time. at nite, its quite nothing to do, and your tired. you feel like you just can't fight the urge. well i am here to tell you that you can. but i know you know that. it is just finding the willingness to use the tools that you know you should. what is going to give you that willingness pam? because i can say, take a walk, go to bed, drink some water, journal. but until you ready to use those tools you will not be able to do this with willpower alone. and you need to be careful with that hip until you figure out what the problem is. when are you doing that? well i have that job interview, thursday morning, then picking my youngest up from the airport. married on friday, spending the weekend with family at home, then on sunday taking son back to airport. then monday we will be headed to the other side of michigan. the west side. Grand rapids area.
@kirsten11872 thats a tough one. you just get right back at it. don't let it derail you.
@bmaison2014 great job getting up early on saturday to exercise. it is very important in building the new you. what does the new you look like? who will she be when your done? and good luck just looking at IKEA. that is difficult for me as well.
@Moarrein ohhh yea! you are killing it girl. 15k.... wowow. that is wonderful. look at how active you have been all weekend. good job.
@Cafelelia yay, no pain. that is my favorite kind of activity. and a long walk before date nite. good job.6 -
i am off to plan my meals for the week. what is your plan for the week? have a great day everyone3 -
Graduation was amazing. So proud of my boy!
Yesterday's light breakfast turned into a trip to waffle house because the hubs had a long wait on his oil change. I had 2 eggs over medium and hashbrowns but skipped adding cheese. Didn't need lunch and ate light at the graduation, so I was still in my calorie range.
@Mrsbell8well my goal weight is 135. 10 more lbs to go. Want to reach it by the end of September. Ideally, I'd like to lose half of that by the time we leave for Montana, but it'll take some work.3 -

10 hours to clean, organize, and decorate Skylynn’s room. When we did the final reveal she couldn’t stop hugging me. In July I will do Josh’s room for his birthday then the kids are done.
C’mon Cyndie @cyndiesstuff let’s do it!
I didn’t get home until 9:30 pm. Threw a frozen Amy’s burrito in the micro and made a quick salad.
Robin made me a lovely lunch but no dinner. But that’s ok. I’m still in there with my logging.
Going to the rental and finishing that today. Also clean our house, bake blackberry buckwheat muffins, get a run in and yoga and work on my story.
Today is the last day of our creativity focus. Next weeks focus is family. We’re going to plan some game nights. Taking Skylynn and her best friend to the Smithsonians next weekend and having a family Father’s Day pool party. I will also make it a point to call my 3 boys.
I am sooooo glad I didn’t stir up terrible drama with my mom and sister. It was a moment and that moment has moved on. We’re planning to take my parents to Virginia Beach July 12th weekend.
My work has been fun and intense. So many quotas but we are pulling together. My boss sent me an email Friday night praising me.
I mentioned my interest in the Ayurvedic eating plan. My system has been so off recently. Might have been recent stress I’m not sure. But according to my Kapha constitution I’m supposed to limit or eliminate melons, bananas, tomatoes, avocados and a long list of other items. For now my focus is to get the last pounds off but I really need to get my system back in alignment. I’m reviewing what I should be eating. Buckwheat muffins, cooked vegetables, spicy soups. Always learning always tweaking.
Great job @cyndiesstuff on behaving yesterday. I’m really proud of you. Your a busy girl.
Only one more day. Let’s smile and appreciate how far we’ve all come!
One last thing...I fell into bed about 10:30 after taking a hot bath. Ready to sleep and noticed I was at 9700 steps. Damn! Got back up and walked the hallway! Take that 10K steps!!!4 -
Lunch Robin made me. Skylynn painted the mermaid picture. I crocheted the mermaid blanket a few Christmas’s ago.4 -

Week 1

Cw- 194.8
Sorry I'm posting a day late. We are at camp for the weekend and the only way I can use my phone is at the office. Anyways, my weight went down but it wasn't easy. I had to eat way less than I normally do to lose. Sunday I had 790 calories (plus a 1 mile bike ride) , Monday was 950, Tuesday was 1200 (plus an hour of zumba) Wednesday was 1190, Thursday was 910 and Friday was 1100. Each day I was over 12,000 steps. Tuesday I had 21,000 steps and Wednesday I had 15,000. I will try to re do it all this week but eating less than 1000 calories most days isnt sustainable for me.4 -

Much better day yesterday but weight still way up. I ate to plan. Planning a night time snack was good for now and having the halo top ice cream on a cone also helps with portion control. I did what I could as far as exercise and steps. I am aiming for 5K for now and no more than 15 min increments with exercising. When I am in Pa this week I am going to swim. I could be swimming in the bay here but getting me in the bay usually takes a few drinks...Also our neighbor across the way got a green light that attracts fish and you can see what is in there which doesn't help. The are some big @ss fish in the bay! Lol! This hip is just getting worse and worse. I am doing everything I am supposed to. I hope we figure it out this week. I am trying to stay positive and enjoy reading and sitting on the deck by the water but I do start getting frustrated. I am not use to sitting around. Ok-hoping to get the same exercise in today. Still too windy to kayak, it is low tide anyway so maybe it will be a little nicer by the time high tide rolls around. Hope everyone enjoys their day!
Another thought I had with the hip. When I was at my heaviest, I would have my children run up and down the stairs getting me things. Even just getting things in the other room. Now asking because of my hip just seems depressing because I can't do it for myself. I really have come a long way. It was just normal for me to do back then.
@cyndiesstuff Great day Cyndie and sounds like another busy one today! I am having the hip xrayed hopefully early next week. I see the doctor on Thursday and I am calling the orthopedic doctor tomorrow morning. It is a big practice so I am going to take first available. This is now interfering with my daily life. I really cant even clean or do anything productive. I guess you should spend the weekend with your family especially if they traveled all that way Lol! I wasn't thinking! Sounds like you have a nice but busy weekend planned and then off on your Honeymoon! You will be ready for a vacation by then!
@GingerPwr Time goes fast with the kids doesn't it? I am sure it is hard to believe your son has graduated! Great job going to the waffle house and having eggs! Sometimes we have to just go with the flow and order something that isn't on our plan. Enjoy today!
@Mrsbell8well . What a busy lady you are! Love Skylynn's room! I am sure she is one happy mermaid! Enjoy your busy day!2
