    Well that was sure something I fought for. I came back from vacation with a 3 pound gain. 2 days of juice cleansing gave me a 3.6 pounds loss. Completely worth it to do the cleanse on many levels.
    Everyone knows darn well that those 3 pounds don’t magically disappear. They have a way of stubbornly staying with us and inviting more of their friends along the way. So it’s a big relief to get rid of them quickly.
    First week of maintenance... today’s scale is happy. For the week I know my natural tendency is to eat too much. I like eating too much. Not stuffed but comfortable. I need to find balance. Reading some new health books but I’m already doing just about all the recommendations. I need to make large portions again with salads and vegetables. That has helped me before. As @nstephenson01 mentioned eating more good stuff and less of the not so good.
    My recent downfalls have been smart popcorn, organic blue chips, and my homemade nutritious delicious treats. Well maybe those brownies weren’t the most nutritious but they were GF and vegan and oh so yummy. Plus I was just on vacation. I had one gin and tonic and shared an Aloha sangria with Molly. Plus a total of 5 salt water taffy’s. This may have contributed to headache? Idk.
    I suspect the headache was from running. It may sound strange but I have noticed fast or long runs seem to trigger tension in my neck and shoulders. Ice on the back of my neck helps.
    Week 2 my hope is to find a better balance and a plan.
    Stomach grumbling. Time to nourish my body.

    Food on plan
    Water 50 oz
    Exercise 2- 30 minute walks
    Steps 11024

    it was a nice day yesterday. i stayed on plan and met all my goals. counseling was difficult today. we talked a lot about some real negative things that have happened in my life that has led me here. i am feeling optimistic about my progress on all fronts. i am creating a grand new life. my life. today, i have no appointments. so i think i will start packing my stuff up at work. when you have been there for 10 years you kinda move in!!

    @Mrsbell8well wow that sounds like a very scary situation. i am not big on swimming in open water. i really don't care for it much. i like to get in, get wet, and then get out and set on the beach. and maintenance will become habit. i know its tough but you are tougher. ohhh yea lady down another half pound and did a vacation! look at you go!!

    @gottagetthisdown maintains are good. yup and mfp can have some glitches sometimes. but i guess we can't complain a whole lot cause its free!! glad you got here!!

    @Moarrein i am soooo proud of you. you maintained on vacation!! good job. you know how to do it. now.... keep doing that girl. it looks good on you!! i love dehydrated fruit. when my favorite fruits come in season here i dehydrate them myself. yummmmm!! and you do look like a princess. you are gorgeous my lady.

    @sleepymom5 i have never been on a jet ski. i have to admit tho that i do like going fast. ouch, i hate sunburns. i havent been sunburnt in ages. i try to stay out of the sun. what did you find at the farmers market?

    @carlsoda don't be hard on yourself. you have been the old way for years. this is new to you. your mind is use to the old way, it was easy. sooonnnn... the new way will be the old way and it will be easy too. keep working it. and as for the glasses, it can take some time to learn how to use them. i have progressive trifocals. so the top is for distance, the middle is for computer and the bottom is for reading. once i got use to them tho. it is just habit, your eyes just do what they are suppose to. ohhh girl and your right, the country is in a heat wave.

    @phoebe112476 good job on that loss!! you are a rock star and sooooo consistent. be proud girl and keep working that plan! it looks good on you. yea you switching the order in your weigh in kinda thru me for a loop yesterday!! you have come so far lady. look at the new life you have created for you and your family. i am sooooo proud of you.

    @jedaschultz that is only a half pound. no worries. what will you do today? have you listened to any of the podcasts? i think they could help you change the way you think about food.

    @McKay85 omgosh that is so great that you slept some better. and yes! we will thank God for that. love your goals girl!! your doing great. it is the small daily steps that will get you to your ultimate goal.

    @amsandos ok, you had a bad day yesterday. did you analyze it? what went wrong? what was your faulty thinking? follow the model i posted earlier. figure out what thinking has to change. this is a hard gig girl. you will get this. your an amazing human being.

    Great day yesterday! I hit or exceeded my goals for the day. I got some stuff knocked off my to do list as well. I really wasn't hungry for dinner last night and didn't want something hot so I decided to finish up some plain greek yogurt I had and add berries. Not a surprise but I was worried I would be hungry later. I didn't have a snack planned for the evening but I told myself if I got hungry I could have a plumb. I didn't get hungry though. For being as big as I am, it is funny how I am so worried that I may get hungry later. I am starting to notice that I don't get hungry nearly as much as I think I am going to be. I also was busy all night, I journaled and planned my day. Then I started to read a new book for fun not self development. I am thinking keeping busy helped too. I need to get an early start today as it is going to get hot so I will check back in later. Hope everyone has wonderful Wednesday!


    @phoebe112476 I should have caught the weight being listed backwards. I really don't think I ever have seen you gain. Hope things settle down at work soon. Enjoy your well deserved night out. I also love your non scale victory. I am sure it has taken you a lot longer to notice how great you look than those around you.
    @Mrsbell8well A loss AND after being away! Wtg! Love the new profile pic! I wish you left all the pics on your page so you could see the progression. You did every 5 lbs right?
    @cyndiesstuff I haven't been to therapy but I would think the hard stuff to talk about are exactly the things you need to talk about. I am glad you are feeling optimistic. This is your new life you are building. You are not letting life happen to you, you are planning it! You are doing so well. I am glad you got into counseling finally. They didn't make that easy. I did well at the farmer's market. I got a ton of fruit, I filled up my basket on the bike. I need to add more veggies than just salad and tomatoes. I think I have to get there earlier to get more of a selection. MK will be back today with my car so I am going to a farm stand to get veggies.

    Tuesday check in:

    Food - on plan, all whole30 but too much :)
    Water - great
    Exercise - hit my goals

    Yesterday I was absolutely starving all day. I think it was a combination of stress at work and not feeling 100%. Still have a headache today and of course only had 2 advil in my purse so it'll have to do :) One amazing thing I noticed, I was craving peanut M&M's (which I know is stress), but it wasn't as mind consuming as it has been in the past. I was able to eat some plantain chips and pistachios to keep it under control. Today at work is "meeting" day - 2 hour meeting this morning and 1 hour meeting this afternoon. First one is boring :)

    @sleepymom5 - you are too funny about not being hungry. I honestly think being hungry scares us...or at least me...kinda like the bitter cold in winter, if we get too hungry we will die. Yeah..not really but I bet it's left over in our bodies from hundreds of years ago when people did die from hunger.

    @Mrsbell8well - you are doing amazing!! I'm trying to catch up so we can both do maintenance together at the same time!!

    @cyndiesstuff - sorry counselling was a little rough last night. But so proud of you for going. Sometimes you just need to get things out in the open to make them less powerful. Like they say in Alanon, you are only as sick as your secrets. Have fun packing and cleaning up at work! Now-a-days we have so much more to clean up when you think about what personal items you also store on your work computer. I have pictures and emails and things I've downloaded. :)

    @phoebe112476 - awesome NSV seeing a reflection of the skinny you in the windows!! You are doing such a great and consistent job!!

    Have a wonderful Wednesday!!!

    Today I am going to try teaching my friend to knit. She is blind and recently had a second stroke so not sure how well this will work. I bought some "loop yarn" which means you work it with your fingers pushing the loops through each other. No needles needed!! I only got one skein which means it won't produce much but we can always get more yarn if she likes it.

    It has been so hot here I have been outside long enough to walk around the house and check the vegetable garden. Heat index was 107. Makes me feel hot just thinking about it. I finished another book yesterday - I don't watch daytime TV - and I played computer games in between some housecleaning.

    The scale has been good to me up and down a few ounces day to day, hope Friday is a down day . . . . and I have been doing good staying close to my target calories every day.

    Daily Check In: Tuesday
    Food: Pre-logged, ate as planned, under on calories
    Water: Lots
    Exercise & steps: 8 mile hike; 23,126 steps

    Eating, water and exercise have been on plan the last couple of days and I'm feeling really good but the scale is being stubborn. What else is new LOL?!?! Dogs did great on yesterday's hike. Willow's not showing any symptoms of heart failure which is why I was so surprised by the specialist's update.

    @carlsoda that is without a doubt the hardest part of pet ownership

    @sleepymom5 riding a jet ski to the restaurant sounds like such fun! I could never ride with my husband tho... he's too much of a daredevil! Willow is a rescue, nothing is known of her past so we don't know how old she is but she's been with us for 10 years so she's about 11 or 12.

    Off to squeeze in one last yoga class this morning before flying to PA on Friday to see my husband. The meds seem to be working... he sounded much better last night thank goodness. Not gonna lie... the heat wave you all are having in the east makes me a little nervous LOL. Can make for a bumpy landing too.

    Lots to do before I leave. Will catch up on posts later on. Wishing everyone a great day!

    At the last minute my friend remembered an appointment she couldn't miss this morning. So I'm thinking I will try to visit her at home in a day or so and get her started with the knitting.

    @carlsoda I would just love to have you join me in maintenance. How much more do you have to go?
    @nstephenson01 glad your husband is feeling better. safe travels! I too am sorry to hear about Willow.
    @sleepymom5 glad to hear the bar business is doing so well. And that you are becoming so brave on that jet ski lol. I would have felt the same way.
    @cyndiesstuff I am sooooo glad you are in counseling and that it is making progress. You will have good days and not so good. You hang in there! This is your year lil sister.
    @pacsnc6 that is so nice of you to teach your friend knitting. How rewarding for both of you.
    @hope002 I always enjoy hearing about all your winter activities and your recent camp. Glad to hear your refocused and ready to rock it!

    I am having a very good work day. It's been rewarding and productive.

    I am wearing one of my new bras from Wacoal. I ordered it from Nordstrom Rack on sale for a big savings. It is gorgeous periwinkle and white lace. The cup size might be a tad too big but it is beautiful and fits well enough to look very sexy. I found a pair of white lace boy shorts that I have had for years and never wore. I wore them both today. Molly said it is the most beautiful bra she has ever seen and that I should be a model. Lol. She is a bit bias.
    I don't ever recall looking so good in my undies. These boy shorts usually rise up and become uncomfortable. But apparently when your thin everything fits differently than you thought they would. I was pretty amazed and thought "oh, that is how they are supposed to fit". Sweet sweet maintenance.
    For the month of July I have taken a picture every day of what I am wearing and created a July album on my phone. I am curious if things look as well as I think or what seems to work and what doesn't. It has been enlightening. I am really fond of the white, ivory and black clothing items. I used to wear a huge rainbow mix but am drawn to more classic colors and shapes these days. But I really love the items that have some femininity such as soft lace touches, silk and satin. Soft knits are a big favorite too. As much as I adore linen and the idea of it...I am finding that I look rather sloppy in the pictures vs. hip, natural and cool. It's a journey this new exploration of me and what I like.

    My son threw a big tantrum this evening. It took me about an hour to deal with him. And I was quite upset afterwards. I thought of having glass of wine or even a cigarette (I quit smoking 11 years ago). The funny thing is I didn't have any comfort sugar eating thoughts. After all I decided to skip the unhealthy habits and go out for a run in the neighborhood. As a result my frustration is gone and I managed my best result running 5K without company.

    @carlsoda Glad you had healthy snacks with you and you were able to beat that craving. I am sure you're right about the hunger. It is funny how our body still goes into survival mode although most of us do not have to worry about starving any more.
    @pacsnc6 That is quite a venture teaching a blind person how to knit! Sounds like you have put a lot of thought into it with buying the loop yarn. I hope it works out for you. It is so hot out, I got my exercise in by 9:30 am! Hope these storms we are having now cools things off!
    @hope002 Sounds like you have a good plan to get back on track. You can do this! Thanks for sharing the pics from camping. Looks like a great trip!
    @nstephenson01 You had an awesome day! I am glad Willow can still get out there and be so active. I was going to tell you that it is really hot in Pa but looks like you already have heard Lol! Glad to hear your husband is feeling better too.l
    @Mrsbell8well That is a beautiful bra! I love the idea of taking pics to see what works and doesn't work for your wardrobe. These clothes you will be keeping longer, not like when you were losing and went down sizes so quickly. I am excited for you!
    @Moarrein Sounds like you had to great days! I also love how you resisted the urge to eat, drink and smoke and went for a run! That is an awesome NSV!
    @lennoncpa Thank you for the early weigh in. Enjoy your trip! Canoeing sounds fun!

    @hope002 love the photos. Where was the camping site?
    @sleepymom5 I love that your life is so full of wonderful activities. Swimming, walking, biking... that’s amazing. I took a peak at your diary. Just curious...do you eat fresh fruits? That really helped me with my sweet tooth. Great job staying on plan.
    @Moarrein I’m sorry you struggled with your son. Your a great example of what happens in our daily life and what are we going to do about it. I laughed about wanting to smoke...yeah kids can do that to you.
    I’m almost done with my 2nd Kristin Hannah book In 1 week. Now reading “on Mystic Lake”. Good for summer reading.
    I’m exploring blogging. Would love to do a maintenance blog.
    Day 4 of my cleanse. Yesterday juiced plus strawberries and cantaloupe. Tonight I will add a salad and tomorrow some cooked vegetables to start tapering off.
    On my way to Roanoke for another all day meeting. Packing my juices.
    Work is going well but I would love to come up with a retirement plan sooner than 5 years. Maybe blogging can help. Would blog about seasonal recipes, maintenance challenges and successes and seasonal clothing.
    Almost the weekend!!!

    man, i am on a plateau. thats ok. i have learned how to maintain at this weight. thats a good thing i suppose. yesterday was a good day. i got the rest of the estate work done that i had been doing and set the appt for the trustee to come in and sign all the paperwork. i cleaned my office and pack a couple boxes. got my hair cut and colored. it is suppose to be an oven out there today. drink your water.

    @sleepymom5 yes!~ you did it, great job. i knew you could. and what if you did get hungry later? hunger will not kill you. lol. but you know that. i have sat with hunger before. it is not as bad as you think. ohhh and keeping busy is a big help. thats why this new job is so important to me. that sitting around with nothing to do can sabotage a diet.

    @carlsoda i love that you did pig out on some m&m's! but be careful what you do. although the swap was a good swap, you still taught yourself to eat when your stressed. maybe try something nonfood related for the swap. we really need to find something other that food to "keep it under control". and that is exactly right, i do have to let that stuff out. it is difficult but it is worth it.

    @pacsnc6 i am so proud of you for trying to help your friend. you are an awesome friend. you keep that up!!

    @hope002 i am so glad you enjoyed your camping trip, good job getting busy on getting back on track. it is not starting over, it is picking up where you left off. i love you 24 hour plan. maybe start including what food you will eat in a day. instead of just log food.

    @nstephenson01 hey is my scale and your scale friends? mines been being stubborn too!! you have fun on your visit and don't forget to take your new lifestyle with you!!

    @Mrsbell8well it is really nice when your wife thinks your sexy!! And biased or not, she is madly in love with you.

    @Moarrein exercise is a great stress reliever. it may be hard to get started but the work it does in your body is worth any effort you have to make.

    i have to go, i will catch up with the rest of ya in a while.

    Happy Thursday!!

    Food - more than I'd like, but all Whole30
    Water - not quite enough
    Exercise - 10,000+ steps

    Another day of feeling a little under the weather and super hungry. I almost gave up on Whole 30, but hubs talked me off the ledge. Glad I didn't give in. I did wake up to a pounding headache (top of the head), but tylenol and caffeine have helped it!

    Yesterday was also a big meeting day so I didn't drink as much as I'd like. One meeting lasted 2 1/2 hours without a break, so I slowly sipped my water.

    Then last night we went out - our church's worship team was having a service of music and dang it was good. 8 members participated and boy we have have some very good musicians and singers. The church was definitely rockin! Then we ran to Walmart fast as our new launch was being set on the shelves and there they were! I bought some since it's so yummy and an option for the hubs! Love my job most of the time!!

    Today I do feel more stable - even waking up with a headache so I think the worst has past. And I have a great plan for the day! Walmart also has Whole30 frozen meals and I bought one for today, Orange Chicken. Can't wait for lunch!!

    @mrsbell8well – 9 more lbs to go! I seem to be stuck at my current weight. Either my body really likes this weight or I need to tighten things up! I agree about linen. It’s so comfy but it is sloppy. And yes, you should start a blog. I will follow you!! I wish I could do a blog, but I’m more of a numbers person than a word person so I wouldn’t have much to say LOL!

    @nstephenson01 – glad the medicine is helping your hubs. Have a fun trip to PA!!

    @Moarrein – perfect way to get the stress out of your system. You know, I used to smoke and quit like 20 years ago. I still dream of smoking, like I can have one, once a day and it doesn’t lead to two. It’s crazy how ingrained it gets into you!!

    @cyndiesstuff – nothing wrong with maintaining. I’ll have that over gaining any day!! Just keep doing what you are doing and next thing you know, you’ll drop a couple of pounds!! Funny thing as to the swap, I was thinking the same thing as I wrote it down yesterday. What would Corinne tell me to do? Definitely not eat plantain chips and pistachios! Thank you for the reminder..I needed to hear it from someone else!! You should be a weight loss coach!!

    Have a great day everyone!

    Food logged, under but overate
    Water 80 oz
    Exercise Kayaked 45 min, Biked 30 minute and 30 minute walks
    Steps 8,673

    Great day yesterday until late afternoon. I Kayaked and biked before 9:30, got wash and cleaning done around the house, took Daisy for a few long walks, listened to my podcasts, read a chapter in my self development book, started and finished and entire book and got my nails done. Late in the afternoon I wanted a snack, questionable if I really needed one but I did have it on my plan so I had a halo top ice cream cone. I got my nails done after that and didn't get home until almost 7:30 so I was hungry by then. I ate all of my dinner and didn't stop AND had two cookies. I should have stopped myself but had them anyway. They fit in calorie wise but weren't planned and I wasn't hungry. I know we aren't supposed to beat ourselves up but I need to really get some self discipline going here. I do well and talk myself out of a lot but sometimes I don't care(at the time) . It did stop there, I didn't have anything else that night and I am not going to let it ruin today. Today I am already off to a slow start so I need to get moving before it gets too hot. I am supposed to go out with my sister in law today but we don't have firm plans. Now that I am a planner, I get a little frustrated when people just want to touch base in the am to plan. If she wants to get out of here earlier, I am going to have to workout later. Either an inside workout or hopefully I can get out later for at least a kayak ride. Tomorrow the island will be getting busy again and my niece, her husband and their 3 kids are coming for one night. My other niece who is here a lot will be down tonight (Ali, she is like my 6th kid, I love her being here) so Friday and Saturday will be busy and hard to plan. I will plan my food and I am going to definitely be up early to at least do a bike ride. I need to exercise each day. I am going to run and try to get in that kayak, hopefully Daisy doesn't want too long of a walk this am. Hope everyone has a productive day!

    @Mrsbell8well I just got a ton of fruit from the farmers market and they weren't ripe so yesterday I didn't have any. I am so glad you said that! I was bummed that I had those cookies yesterday and I wasn't even thinking about them the days prior. I have been having a lot of fruit lately. I guess the fruit did help with my sweet tooth. I am going to be sure to have some today or buy ripe ones.
    @cyndiesstuff Don't let that plateau derail you. You have been doing so well. You will drop soon. I guess the new job is making you busy at the old one preparing to leave so that helps keep you occupied too. Any replacements to train yet?
    @nstephenson01 Scale is moving in the right direction. I am sure you will have a busy day today getting ready for your trip. How long will you be gone?
    @carlsoda What a fun night at church! You do such a fun variety of things! I am glad your husband kept you on your whole 30 path, I feel like you would have regretted it today. Sometimes your body needs a little more. Maybe you can snack on a protein or healthy fat? I just love that you were able to see your product launched and were able to buy it! How cool is that?!! I can see why you love your job, no matter how crazy it gets at times.
    @hope002 Looks like a good day under your belt. Logging can be a pain to start but it really doesn't take too long once you get in the swing of things. Did you ever think of pre logging? Then you can just tweak it throughout the day. It is a lot easier. Excellent plan for today too! I am glad to see you checking in. It really does help.

    Well, I missed my goal of 165 this week. The more I want to reach it the harder it seems to get. But a loss is a loss so I'll take it. I'll have a gain next week as I always retain water when I fly.

    Daily Check in: Wednesday
    Logged: Mostly, MFP conked out on me last night so couldn't log my dinner but it was a salad so I'm pretty sure I ended the day under on calories
    Water: Great!
    Exercise & steps: 30 & 15 minute dog walks, 90 minute yoga class; 11,420 steps

    MFP was acting up again last night so I'm way behind on posts. Sorry... hope everyone is doing well. I feel so out of the loop LOL. Took the dogs for a short after dinner walk last night to get my steps over 10,000. Downloaded several Phit n Phat podcasts on my iPod to listen to on the plane. I stalled out on the Beck Diet Solution which I downloaded on my Kindle a while back because I didn't have any index cards and she says not to move forward to the next task but I have index cards now and I'll bring them with me! Was planning to go for a hike this morning but I'm not getting a very early start. Lots to do today to get the yard and house set for my absence and get ready for my trip so I better get moving. Have to get up at 3:00 am tomorrow morning Yuck.

    I'll check in when I can. Wishing everyone a great end to the week and a wonderful weekend!!

    Scale is moving slowly. I'll take it. I always lose 5 then gain them back so when I lose 6 is when I will get really excited. Not trying to be a downer but it just seems to be my reality. My vacation is coming which will be tough but my aunt eats pretty healthy. I took yesterday as a rest day now my legs hurt. It's chilly here today but this weekend it's going to be 100. I will be floating in the pool. I painted one wall in the nursery the kids have now changed their mind on the color. I wanted to scream. Seriously?? I told them to get the color they want and it's going on the wall and if they don't like it tough *kitten* I'm not painting again. My son offered his services to help knowing I won't allow it cuz he doesn't know what he's doing and will just be in the way. Kids!! I'll be glad when this project is done.
