yesterday i got out 182 letters to clients. as i put them in their envelopes, i thought about each relationship with each person and how they have enriched my life. i will miss so many of them. wish i could take them with me but i can't. got home and had burgers on the grill. i ate 3/4 of a half pound burger and gave mack the rest. he wanted cook out too. jim then went to the farm. that is usually time for me to binge. i didn't. i decided to do a little cleaning instead. i cleaned and organized our two junk drawers. i also made a cabinet for my small kitchen appliances so they are no longer on the counter. it felt good to get rid of some of the clutter. i was just finishing up when jim got home, we watched a little tv and then went to be. i feel good about how i showed up for myself yesterday. i will do it again today. food has been planned and my agenda for the day is done. i am gonna get this started!!
@Mrsbell8well yes. i am going to fly. you have fun on your vacation and your mom looks amazing. and those white pants of yours? woooo whooo. skinny girl!! and that is an awkward situation but hey, it's nothing personal, it is just business. be fierce. do you know why the little addict showed up? it will be important for you to figure out why?
@lennoncpa that is just a very tiny gain. you keep working your plan girl. I will send you a message with my phone number. give me a call. we can be accountablity partners!!
@carlsoda nice loss this week chickie!! love it. you are doing fantastic. you keep making those plans and you will be at your goal before you know it. and you are right a good plan doesn't have to be time consuming. your doing great with that new skill!! i love ribs. so good. i always start a meal like you described with a salad and water. and then enjoy the heck out of it!! but just till i am satisfied not full. and maybe up your yoga game! you could find some great cardio yoga. give it a try... and my urges have to do with stress, boredom, fatigue, and pain. the first two are feelings not facts. the second two are fact for me. and i am working on being ok that i can't change that. now..... i gaining the willingness to walk a way instead of eat. yeah, the tools work.
@pacsnc6 ohhhh yes, lady. nice loss. how are you doing? what did you do today?
@ljdanny sweet! you did your exercise anyway. now that is a great NSV. make sure you give yourself credit for that!!
@lenka1 thats just a small gain. this is a tough gig, but your tougher. hey girl... haven't heard from you. how are you doing? whats on the plan for tomorrow?
@hope002 i am so glad you shared those pictures with us. you, lady, look fierce!! what a beautiful way to exercise. does it make you feel good? you look like your having a blast!!
@sleepymom5 now we new this was coming, it's a fact. you gained. doesn't matter. choose how you want to feel about that fact. if you change the feeling you will change the outcome. you made a list. awesome work. you listened to podcasts! self care!! you also did some reflection! good job. now what happy thought do you want to think today. and you are so right, lets get busy.... we have to keep building.
@amsandos i have to agree with @sleepymom5 . your words, the way you describe things. i love your writing. remember you said it best, it's not for me!! if you want i can come there and slap the food out of your hand. i have seen it work on facebook so it must be a proven approach!! lol. you got this, you are tenacious!! i was wondering, are you hungry when you eat the between meal snack?
@Cafelelia i am glad to hear things are going well for you. wow, paris. that is amazing. enjoy!! and yup, @sleepymom5 got you a position in the cheer squad. we would still love to hear about your trip. let us know how you are doing.4 -
lets talk about the above model for a moment. quite honestly this is how our brain works. many times without our even realizing it.
First there is a circumstance. the circumstance is a fact. it can be proven in a court of law.
Next, you have a thought about that circumstance. a good one or a bad one.
Followed by a feeling. happy sad and so on
Then that feeling moves you to action or inaction
And finally, in turn, it gives you a result.
lets take an example:
The facts: my son is an addict, he may lose his housing, my mom has a fatal heart condition
The thoughts: my son can get help, what he does is out of my control and my mom will be surrounded by love and I will be there for her till the end.
The feelings: I am scared, I am angry, I am overwhelmed
the action: had a long talk with Jim and cried and yelled.
the results: I felt some relief with jims compassionate heart.
Now it could have gone like this:
The facts: my son is an addict, he may lose his housing, my mom has a fatal heart condition: the facts have not changed
The thoughts: my son and my mom are going die,
The feelings: I am scared, I am angry, I am overwhelmed
the action: i went to the frig and ate my feelings
the results: my son is still and addict and my mom still has a heart condition and now i feel like crap cause I lost control of my food intake
the point of the story is that your thoughts can be true or untrue, helpful or unhelpful. we need to really look at what we say to ourselves. AGAIN... the words we say to ourselves are very powerful.
ok everyone, team challenge! walk thru this model with a situation your in. either journal about it or come here and right it out. this is a very beneficial exercise. the two things you can't control are the facts. the only thing you can change is how you feel.4 -
@cyndiesstuff - love your post. When the scale doesn’t move for me, in the past I would have given up (oh the challenges of being young and impatient) now I think about what caused the scale to not move or jump up. Did I not drink enough water, did I eat a lot of salt yesterday? Then I make adjustments to my day. Scale really doesn’t tell us much except what we weigh at that moment and a lot can go into it. I always told my daughters, don’t worry about the scale. Go by your jeans. If they start to feel tight cut back on a dessert for a day or two. Of my 4 girls, 2 are doing a great job even having babies, 1 isn’t doing too bad and the youngest is my addictive personality girl and everything she does is to the extreme. She has more to work on than just weight unfortunately.
@cyndiesstuff - wow that must have been hard sending those letters out. But just think of all the new clients you will get to know soon! And amazing job keeping busy last night with your Marie Kondo work. Distraction really does work!
@amsandos - I hope you are feeling better today, what’s up with getting sick in the summer? That never used to happen. Hope your little girl doesn’t come down with it too.
@Mrsbell8well - love the pic of you and your mom. You both look so happy!
@Cafelelia - have fun in Paris! Post pics please!
@sleepymom5 - couple of thoughts Pam, always leave a couple of bites with each meal. Also it takes 20 minutes for your brain to register you are full. It’s a learning game and luckily every day you get an opportunity to practice! I think learning your hunger scale is a hard one. I have noticed I am not overly hungry in the morning but I eat because it is time to eat. Next week at work I am going to bring hard boiled eggs, nuts and fruit for breakfast and just eat when I start feeling hungry, not at 7:30 because it’s time.
Friday check in:
Food - great!
Water - great!
Exercise - 12,000+ steps and yoga
Overall great day! I downloaded C25K to my phone and I think I will give it a try. I can go as slow as I want right?!
Today is the “cool” day of the weekend, I think it will in the high 80’s but tomorrow heat index around 100 so we are thinking of going to Red Wing MN (think Red Wing boots!) and hike the bluff as well as check out the antique stores. It’s a nice long country drive from here, but a fun town! Haven’t been there for a few years.
Have a great Saturday!

Exercise 45 minute bike ride
Steps 6341
Good day yesterday. I made good choices. I only got to ride my bike because I was so overheated when I got home that I didn't want to go back out in the sun to kayak. I didn't feel too bad because I did get a good bike ride in. My niece and family are coming today to spend the afternoon at the bay. We are going to get pizza. I planned for one slice and I am going to make a salad too. I know they will bring snacks so I am going to make dip from plain greek yogurt and cut up some veggie just incase I want to munch. I don't want to eat when I am not hungry even if it is veggies. I also may be in the bay today. I may just tread water but that will be better than just floating. I have to run, I hope everyone has a great day!
I will do that exercise with the model Cyndie posted tomorrow.
For those who still need to weigh in for this week-be sure to post your weight by 11:59pm EST
@Mrsbell8well I hate when the phone doesn't charge. I think tea and yoga sounds wonderful! Enjoy!
@cyndiesstuff That model is exactly what I am trying to work on! Was that from a website? I actually started that because my relationship with one of my brothers. Since my Mom got sick, he hasn't been very nice to me so I am trying to not let it bother me. I never realized until I started these podcasts how much we really need to work on our thoughts and our minds. It is amazing. Hope you are having as nice weather out there as we are! Have a great weekend!
@carlsoda It is funny, I am 53 and I feel like I am just learning how to eat Lol! I am also surprised that I don't require nearly as much food as I thought I did. What a fun day you have planned! Enjoy!1 -
I have been doing OK with eating this week but not moving. Hit my goal of 7,000 steps only once - came close a couple days too - and my only excuse is the heat index of 100+ I did take a couple short walks most days just not enough to get in my steps.
I was in the mood to read instead. Finished "The Blue Period" about Picasso and a mystery/love story "Jockeys and Jewels" and started another "A boy between worlds" I have been turning off the TV and reading a couple hours each night or working on crafts.
Have a great weekend2 -
I went food shopping bought a ton of fruit and veggies. I left the zebra cakes at the store. I know I'm going to be looking for one of those later. But I didn't want to ruin the 2 pounds I lost. I was hungry when I went to bed last night and I thought this eating smaller portions is going to kill me. But I remember I did it before I can do it again. I have been loving all my long walks. I only did a 3 mile today, my dog had to go for a haircut. The face of my Fitbit is not working but it's still logging my steps to the app. I went to the store they told me I have to call Fitbit so that's on my list. Hopefully they will give me a new one. I have to get some cleaning done and maybe get the nursery prepped to start painting the walls. Have a great day1

@nstephenson01 this is my 4th time going to Vegas. My husband plays pool, we are going for the pool tournament. I’ll get some time in the sun, out to dinner and a few cocktails😊😜3

daily checkin
food a bit over still in the weight loss zone
water drank lots ( had to keep going to the loo)
exercise went for a walk with my friend for an hour
I did a open water lifeguard training course today. My triathlon club have started doing lake swims in a local lake and they need volunteers to be lifeguards. I wasn't sure that I could do it because I am a bit of a slow swimmer compared with my club mates. However I met the criteria. I spent a couple of hours in the water learning lots of new things. How to do CPR, recovery etc. How to save some one who has passed out in the water. How to get two tow someone to sure. It was really interesting and we had a great laugh. I should have gone for a run today but I felt so tired I went for a walk with my running buddy instead. I wanted to catch up with her so the walk was nice.
@cyndiesstuff I am usually hungry when I eat between meals I think my problem is I start hungry but I don't stop when I should. I think it is better if I train myself not need and want to eat between meals. That way If I want a sweet treat I can eat it as part of a meal. if it is part of a meal then I have to stop. If I am cheating then I may as well continue. At least that is what I say to myself.2 -
@sleepymom5 and @carlsoda I am back on it! Finished eating for the day. Looking forward to breakfast already!1

Daily Check in: Friday
Food: Logged, over
Water: not enough
Exercise & steps: 30 min dog walk, 90 min yoga class; 10,550 steps
Busy day yesterday. Took the dogs for a quick walk. Its pretty warm and not cooling off at night so I think my long hikes are on hold until cooler overnight temps return. Yoga was challenging... lots of transitions into planks. Then had my annual OB/GYN appt. All the girly parts look good. Phew... glad that's over. Went in first thing this morning to get blood drawn for lab tests. I'm curious to see how things look after losing so much weight. Most everything was within normal range last time but my cholesterol was a bit high. Afterwards I walked around the farmers market to up my step count but still not a ton of variety yet. Didn't really need anything anyway as I have a short week. Flying to PA to visit hubby at the end of the week. I'm loving reading about everyone's amazing vacations and I'm over here like "Hey, I'm flying to Harrisburg" LOL!
Been craving (and eating) more carbs then usual the last 2 days. I'm having some trouble sleeping because of the heat so I think my body is wanting some fast fuel. Need to rein that in quickly.
@carlsoda I've been cooking boneless country style ribs in the InstantPot recently... they come out so tender!!
@kirsten11872 How cool your husband plays pool! Have fun in Vegas! I haven't been there in years but always enjoyed the buzz and bustling. Wow, nice loss! Looks like you're back on track.
So proud of how you've been doing lately @cyndiesstuff Keep that shi* up girl!
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!3 -

Sorry I haven’t checked in in a while. Hard to explain what is going on in my head right now. But feels like I don’t have the same energy or control than in previous months, so many things I put aside got back into my routine. Still working on it.1 -
@pacsnc6 It sure has been hot! Sounds like you found some good ways to beat the heat. If you want to get some steps in, I highly recommend the Leslie Sansone videos on YouTube. She has long and short videos. They are fun and you can get a lot of steps in.
@ljdanny You have been so consistent with your exercise and sounds like you are eating healthy. You really have been doing great!
@kirsten11872 Awesome loss!! I am not surprised, you had a great week!
@amsandos That life guard training sounds intense! I was a lifeguard in High School and College. I am glad you are back in it and doing well! So far, so good for me!
@nstephenson01 Looks like you see all the extremes with the weather by you! Hope the heat breaks a little so you can get back to your hikes. I am glad that everything checked out at the gyn. and I bet the lab work comes back in normal range too! I still can't believe your husband drove to Harrisburg. I am sure you are looking forward to your trip but I am glad you are flying Lol! I know you will have a good week before you go.
@DananaNanas That is just a small gain, don't let it derail you. I hope everything is going ok. Check in if you need us.
@julie8468 Please let us know if there is anything we can do to get you back on track. You were doing so well, you just need to get back in your groove.3 -

Daily check in for Saturday
Food on plan
Water lots
Exercise 2 - 30 minute walks and master bath spring clean
Steps 12067
beautiful day yesterday. it was a hot hazy summer day. 90 degrees with 80 % humidity. smoldering. did the laundry. and then cleaned the master bath top to bottom. took a break and made lunch and ate with the ole boy and then sent him off to the farm. i then cleaned the kitchen and took a nap. drank a beer with Jim. an amazing coffee stout. 12% alcohol. woooo... all you need is one and at 300 calories it was all i could afford. but it certainly was a treat. for dinner was homemade chicken fajitas. it was the perfect day. today is menu plan, grocery shop, old folks chores, and food prep. i didnt sleep well last night. i am feeling kinda off.
@carlsoda the model i posted is a great tool to learn to change your feelings. i believe that is what you have been working on. it is such a huge part of the weight loss. and many of those letters were making me cry. but... time moves on and people move in and out of our lives. it's life. and distraction breaks a pattern. distraction is important for sure. and yes, you can go as slow as you want to go. remember, no matter how slow you go, you are still working harder than the person sitting on the couch!!
@sleepymom5 great job using your tools. now... reel in your mind and have a great time with your family. did you do the exercise i posted above? i think you really should spend some time on it. it will help you find our what you have control over. so you have the ability to change it. and i dont remember where i got it from. it was a few months ago.
@pacsnc6 a couple of short walks is better than no walks. has turning off the tv and working on crafts and books helped you with your snacking?
@ljdanny great job getting those fruit and veggies instead of zebra cakes. those things are a mouth full of sugar. ok, so lets follow the model. the fact was that your stomach was not full when you went to bed. the thought or your feeling was, this is going to kill me. the feeling needs to change. first off, being hungry is not going to kill you. be very careful of your words. what could you think instead? if you continue to think it is going to kill you it is going to be very hard to stick to your plan. to change your outcome, change your thought about the fact.
@kirsten11872 holy moly girl. that is a huge loss! woooo whoo. lets get it. you can do this.
@amsandos my oldest son was a life guard for a while. i watched him take his classes. it was very interesting. you are doing great lady. you keep being active and moving. maybe... and i dont know, it is just a thought. maybe you might try veggies as a snack. veggies with some hummus or some greek dressing. this will provide you with some fat and fiber to keep you going. i really don't think your problem is snacking. i think it is stopping. that is where your strength lies.
@nstephenson01 i am really interested as well about your blood results. please share when you get them. it is going to be so exciting to see hubby. do you have some special hubby time planned? yup... proud of you too. were really working this plan!!
@DananaNanas thats just a baby gain. you got this. what will you do today?
@Julie8468 up a half pound is not bad. don't you give up. that is just not allowed. you just keep moving forward. i know you have been feeling like it's too hard. but honestly it is exactly how hard you let it feel. start applying the model above to some of your situations. do some journaling. see if you can get your self out of the funk.
@Moarrein your previous weight was 121.4. so a little gain. you enjoy your trip but not at the expense of you health. moderation is key!! thanks for checking in!!

The vacation is over and right now I'm in the car back home. I'll try to check in daily from now on. For the past 3 days I ate mostly on track, but had some wine, a little ice cream and several chocolate candies. Since the vacation is over I'm planning to be more strict about "no sugar". I managed to do some beach running and walking, swimming, and curquit training. I hope my gain is mainly because of the monthly water detention + the fact I wasn't using my own scale. Yet I'm not going to fool myself and blame it all to that.
But after all for me finishing a vacation with that little gain is considered a success... I usually get back home with 10 lb over ;-)3 -

Exercise none

I had a fun day with family yesterday. It was so hot out yesterday I stayed in the shade instead of going in the water. It ended up being an unplanned rest day. Today is going to be even hotter. I am going to see how it is out, I may do a short Leslie Sansone video if I can't get out on my bike or my kayak. I am going to take advantage of the hot day to plan the week. I have a new journal so I am kinda excited to use it. Jim is supposed to come down today or tomorrow so it will actually be the two of us since MK has to go back to Pa for some doctor's appointments. It will be nice, I am looking forward to it. The following week I FINALLY start PT. I can't wait, I really want to get on the road to healing and also know what I should and should not be be doing. Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!
From @cyndiesstuff 's exercise yesterday that I didn't get to do-
Unhelpful (the thought pattern I am trying to change)
Event-I overate something I knew I shouldn't
Thought-I am a failure, I can't do this
Feeling-Discouraged and hopeless
Action-give up or eat more
Helpful
Event-I overate something I knew I shouldn't
Thought -I know I ate off plan but I will get right back on track now and journal my thoughts about what happened.
Feeling -Proud I stopped, hopeful I will figure this out
Action -Not continuing and getting back on track and reflection on what happened
@cyndiesstuff I hope you aren't coming down with something. Hope you are feeling better soon. The power of suggestion...I think I am going to make chicken fajitas tonight if I have the seasonings Lol! If not, this week sometime. Guess you are going to be busy at work until you are done. It is an exciting and scary time. Just keep focused on your goals and keep planning. This change is going to be a good one for you.
@Moarrein I think it sounds like you did well on your vacation. You were active and stayed on track with eating for the most part. Sounds like you already have a plan moving forward too. I agree-I would consider your vacation a success too!2 -
Went for a 5.33 mile run this morning on the beach running path. Ran through the neighborhoods as well for over an hour. Mostly I did it because I told this team I was going to do it. Very proud of myself. It was hot at 6:30 am but I did it anyway. I did well. I’m missing my daughter. Molly won’t swim in the ocean so I swam by myself. Robin would have joined me in all physical pursuits. Plus I eat different than everyone else. Robin is plant based as well. The 2 meals out were disappointing but the feast I brought from home was exceptional. Fresh cantaloupe and raspberries, organic bread, mesclun lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, hummus, sprouts, cucumbers, blue organic chips, green salsa, dark stevia chocolate chips, smart popcorn, frozen Amy’s Chinese food, big Sur vegan breakfast burritos, unsweetened dried tart cherries, raw sunflower seeds, a quart of exquisite fresh organic plums (we ate all of them at the beach), hazelnut tea and bottles of water.
I planned well and ate well.
There’s a freedom being on vacation and not worrying about the scale. I ate what I wanted when I wanted. With all the exercise you would expect my weight to stay the same right? That’s what’s so deceiving but I’m aware of it.
I’m still a woman with addictive tendencies. Just because I have hit goal doesn’t mean that changes. But I’m learning about myself and what I need to do differently. Overall I feel this weekend was a success.
Sorry I’m not responding more to each of you but I’m proud of each and everyone of you that shows up and keeps posting. We are in this together!!!3 -
Saturday check in
Food - Whole30 but not as balanced as I would have liked
Water - almost got it all in
Exercise - 11,000+ steps, no yoga
Went to Red Wing Minnesota yesterday and had a fun time. First stop was a HUGE antique shop. Had fun looking at everything, then we went downtown and had a quick lunch of applegate farms turkey lunch meat, tessemmee cilantro lime dressing, lots of veg and fruit, then hit the Red Wing shoe store with a huge clearance basement. Fell in love with lots of boots there but out of my budget right now. Imagine paying $230.00 for 2nds. Mind you 1st are around $350.00+ next door was a Duluth Trading Store, it has super fun stuff in it. They also had a clearance section in the basement, and boy I found some good stuff. Plaid flannel shirt for fall for $5.00, wool jacket for $5.00 too. Then we decided to walk around town and they were having a music festival so was able to take in some Johnny Cash renditions from a pretty good band. Lots of construction going on so we couldn’t figure out how to get to the bluff for the hike up. Went home via Wisconsin which is so pretty and ended up at our favorite park in the Twin Cities, it’s a man made lake with a paved trail. They have stores, restaurants and office building around it. Paddle boats, mini golf and bocce ball and all around the path they play music. Such a fun walk then hit Trader Joe’s and went home. Fun day.
Haven’t figured out today yet since it’s going to be super hot.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!4 -
So much going on, I completely forgot to get batteries for my scale again, so no weigh in for me today. Sorry! 😔3

My fitbit is broken and i’m waiting for the free replacement in the mail, it feels so weird to be without it!
Hope everyone had a great week! i wrapped up my last week of super busy work schedule, so when i get back it’s going to be time to get back on track (again) and into my regular schedule again!

Daily Check In: Saturday
Food: Not logged... too many carbs
Water: Great
Exercise & steps: 30 minute dog walk; 11,907 steps
Met all my weekly mini-goals... 2 vegetarian dinners/week; 2 long hikes; 2 yoga classes; at least 90,000 steps (got 109,252) but I got off track the last few days. Rather than plan my dinners ahead of time I went with what I was craving which always ends badly. So weight this morning was back up to 169 and it will take a miracle to get to my goal of 165 when I leave to visit my husband. I start out strong at the first of the month and then fizzle out. Its not like I don't know what I need to do to lose weight #@%$!! If I think too much about what I need to do to get to 165 I get overwhelmed. But if I plan and follow my schedule rather than think, I do much better. LOL So.. back to basics. Daily exercise and dinners are noted in my calendar. Days are easy as I pretty much eat the same thing right now. Will work really hard to behave and just follow my plan. Rather disappointed in my lack of discipline the last couple of days. Fortunately its a new week and a new chance to do better.
@carlsoda sounds like a great day!!
@twyla77 Great picture of you and what a beautiful horse! Looking forward to hearing how Under the Big Sky Festival went
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!4 -
Today was a good day. Was up early went to Zumba, came home to get my husband because we were going to hiking today but I figured he would blow it off. He really doesn't like it. He said his back hurt. I left without him and went for a walk 7.6 miles. Came home started painting the nursery, need more paint. Now I'm floating in the pool. I wanted to read while I was floating but my tablet didn't charge. When I go in I will make my meals for tomorrows work day. Happy Sunday5

STS I will take that I almost feel like I got away with something. The course was good but I got a bit upset because we did a fitness test and I failed. I got tangled up in some weeds. I asked to do it again and I passed just. I am going to do some work on it this week.
@cyndiesstuff you could be right I will give it a go, i defintely think that I am addicted to sugar though. I had a biscuit for lunch with on my course and i just kept eating. I felt really hungry when I got in from my course. I forgot to say well done and congratulation on your new job and your wedding.

Daily check in for Sunday
Food not bad
Water not enough
Exercise rest day
Steps 5985
got up early yesterday and got my day going. made the weekly food plan, got the grocerys. then picked up my son Josh from church and we went to my parents house. jim and dad mowed grass and me and josh hung out with my mom. then took josh home and came home and i was spent. took a nap and felt worse when i woke up. so i just rested. which was fine cause i worked so hard saturday. in the evening, as the sun was starting to set, i went out and watered. boy it's dry. we went from one extreme to another. today, i am trying not to feel weird about leaving my current job. i am sure i am going to have to start dealing with the good byes. i am really not looking forward to that. but, it is what it is.
@Moarrein and the fact was, the scale showed a gain, what you think about that, will determine the action you take. remember you need to be able to live your life and be healthy. i believe you did that. ohhhh yes!! and a maintain on vacation is great!! you are showing us all how to live life and have fun!!
@sleepymom5 lol i took an unplanned rest day yesterday. sometimes you just need that. i was thinking about you last night. how is that bar doing? you never really say? i hope pt helps you. it will be good for you regardless.

@twyla77 no, no worries, we can use that weight. lol we have become so addicted to these steppers. lol. what a crazy world. the horse is beautiful. but not as lovely as you! look at how cute you are!!!
@nstephenson01 maybe.... your problem is not thinking but what your think. change the way you think and you will change the action. this would be a very good situation to work thru the model i posted earlier. and be very careful what you say to yourself. words are powerfull.
