Daily Post (Tuesday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Over
Day: Went a bit over on calories today with my after dinner snack but I'm choosing to be more lenient on myself this week to ease back into the mindset for the rest of the month. I've been on this journey for 4.5 months and I needed a little mental break. Weighed in this morning (Wednesday) just to see how things were going and it was a better number than expected! We will see if I decide to weigh tomorrow before heading out of town for the night.
@johicks that sounds like such a fun 4th of July celebration! I don't know how many people come into DC for 4th of July, but the President is attending this year and one thing you learn after living in DC for long enough is that regardless of who the current President is, DC people stay far away from any event the President attends in the city. The crowds and logistics are just a nightmare to deal with, so for that reason alone I can't wait to get out of town to a quieter celebration.1 -

Weigh in tomorrow am... I had 1 or 2 day of going a bit over calories, but I never ate above maintenance and I was under calories a few other times so no biggie. Fingers crossed to see 151 or lower, which would put me at a 3lb drop for week 1, which is nice to start with since it won't happen later, LOL. Been really good at getting walks in at least every other day.2

Daily Post (Wednesday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: Nothing formal, but I tromped around the park all morning taking pictures for social media (I'm a park ranger at a historic site) and when I got back to my office, my fitbit said I had gotten 61 active minutes.
Healthier habits: I really wanted to mindlessly snack this evening, but I kept my hands busy and stayed out of the kitchen and managed to not eat anything after dinner.2 -

Just done C25K week 5 run 2. Really pushed myself to go despite being very tired. I had a real shock when the app got me to run 2 sets of 8 minutes! Feeling very good that didn't give up.
+That got my calories for today back in the green! (Too many biscuits
) 2 -
Daily post Thursday July 4
Tracked: yes
Calories: way over
Exercise: no
Today was spent mostly in the car. I was so incredibly hungry today! I dutifully packed my lunch for the car to avoid getting fast food. But I was still hungry after eating my lunch and guess what. I went through a drive through. I went over by about 900 today, or 400 over maintenance. So that negates yesterday’s accomplishment of being under. If I don’t do this again the rest of the holiday weekend, I should still see a loss.0 -

So proud of myself for getting out for a walk, and making healthy choices for food. Though I did eat a few things not the best for my body I also passed on many.2 -

Please verify your current weight. I think you have a typo. You were too excited doing a happy dance. Please let us dance with you... @Perla4686 what's the correct CW? 0 -
My 4th was so fun! My mom hasn’t gone to enjoy festivities in about 12 years. Because my new employer of 10 months offered to open the building and turn on the A/C mom said she’d go. So I put our chairs out, then picked her up. We went to the strawberry social - 1st time ever! Then went and cooled off in the building. She was able to enjoy the parade for about 30 minutes and then went back into the A/C. We had two children ages 7 & 9, I am guessing near us. They were so polite and made the day even more fun. The little gal & I even chatted a bit. She visits my town every year for one week over the 4th of July. I was so impressed by her. It restored my faith in our youth. She touched my heart. I hope we see each other next year.
As far as exercising - too hot! Whoa! Eating. I was very mindful and finally beat LNS. (Late Night Snacking!) Phew. I’m finally getting out of this hole that I have been in. Feels better. I recall this happening (by looking at my calendar of smiles/ frowns) back in May, too. Ugh! But, if it’s a cycle then maybe I can be better prepared. The important thing is … I’m not giving up!!
@jwall309~ Jessica, I would want to get out of town too. I didn’t watch or see anything on the 4th, but of course heard on the news some of the plans. A mental is always a good thing. Maybe being at maintenance level will reset your body. Hope you had a great 4th!!
@ajaia2001~ I’m sure I already missed you. Chat on Monday. Hope you are having a good weekend.
@Perla4686~ You’re still going. Keep it up! And stay positive. You are doing great with the C25K, especially on the 4th!! Wooohooooo! Keep pushing through those 8-minute sets.
@GoalDigger11 ~ Sounds like you are on track! Awesome! AND…. yes! It paid off in the form of an awesome loss, under the 151 you thought you would see. How exciting!! Yeah you!
@bootssowhite~ Good job on active minutes and not giving in to those mindless nighttime munchies!
@skullsandskeletons~ Wednesday… more steps! Try not to worry about the four-legged one and enjoy your family time. Hope you have support from family to be able to stay on track the best you can. Good attitude! You are right in that one mess up shouldn’t wreck the weight loss for the week. I think having that attitude will help you stay on track, too. It’s when we beat ourselves up to that it makes that bounce back more difficult. You’re doing great!
@Kate_X4_~ Yep. Holidays are hard. But you did get in some awesome exercise! Awesome! I also bring my food that I want to eat to have healthy choices. I have a mini-cooler bag that fits a water bottle, an ice pack, and two small containers. I had two peeled boiled eggs with me to have as snacks. Happy 4th attitude! You are so right! You did good on passing up soooo many and being mindful in what you did choose and you got in a walk, too! Yahooooo!
@Terry111330~ Awesome on no LNS! Great exercise, tracking… you’re doing great!!
@tbchitwood76~ Wooohooooo! Nice loss! A great week of exercise! Sounds like a good plan to get in more “right” foods. When eating good healthy foods, we can actually eat more. They are naturally low in calories. It’s a little exciting when we think about it! Good job!! Keep it going!
@Gustaaf85 ~ That’s an amazing loss! Good job! Keep it going!
@red1185~ I can put in a that you are on vacation. If you are removed from the spreadsheet by mistake, then I’ll ask you to “rejoin” by posting in the starting weights thread for August when it’s up and ready. You can then request to be on our team. But hopefully, by you telling me so now ahead of time, we can keep you at status quo.
@germaine_yee~ Staying the same is no easy task. And is not a gain! Yeah!!
