Ugh! I have no time to comment. I have to leave in an hour to go to Long Island for an event in honor of my friend's son who passed away at age 17 in a sledding accident 4 years ago. I love Long Island but it is a pain in the butt to get to. I am sorry I have been MIA lately. I just have been having so many visitors and haven't been doing well with time management. The next 3 weeks are going to be crazy. Especially sorry to you @cyndiesstuff . I know you are very busy too.

@hope002 amazing loss and lots a lot of steps girl. Looks like your back in the groove!
@Moarrein Look at you in the teens! Your consistency is so admirable.
@lennoncpa a loss is a loss not a gain!
@pacsnc6 yeah that happens. You have been doing really well.
@sleepymom5 now if you can figure out a way to be really bz and have lots of fun and still lose weight. Maybe this week???
@cyndiesstuff Hurrah congrats on surviving till your last day. I recommend you pack up and leave. I think you have paid your dues. Good look on your new journey. And glad the piggy wiggly is back in the cage. Trust me most of us understand. I got a little piggy myself the other night but these days it is soooo mild compared to the old me. I catch it pretty quickly and readjust. I am so well aware that one night can turn into 2 nights and there we go off and running into piggy heaven/hell since it really is no fun to eat pig slop.1 -
@carlsoda glad your feeling back in control regarding those cravings. We don't always have to understand the why of it...but it sure feels good when some days are easier than others.
@phoebe112476 oh my goodness you sound like me. I struggled so much with pants fitting. Just as soon as I found some nice ones that I loved at the goodwill...I would barely blink and they were baggy again. I went from a size 3x in shorts/pants to a size 6 in a 1 year time. It seems like every month I dropped a size. I would say that is one of my favorite perks about maintenance. My pants fit great and I expect them to stay fitting great. I still have a few size 8 pants that run small but most of them are 6's. I have never worn smaller than a 10 since I was a teenager. It's quite the exciting experience. I feel like I am wearing Barbie doll clothes 1/2 the time. Finding my bra size was a different challenge. I have probably ordered 40 bras on line and kept 3. I keep trying them on and returning what doesn't work. This morning I tried on my new Bali bra in a size 36D. I had ordered the 36DD but it didn't feel right. This is my 2nd bra in size 36D that fits perfectly so I may have found my size. Although I know the sizing can change with different companies. The size chart for Wacoal had me at a 36D.
And I am now wearing mostly size smalls. Again...another completely foreign concept for me. The thrift stores really made it much easier to drop sizes without to much heartache. But it was a definite constant to keep having to repurchase clothes, especially pants. I can't deal with droop butt...drives me crazy.2 -
Molly and I went for a 15 minute bike ride this morning. That was up and down our hill 4 times vs the 2 1/2 times we were doing previously. And I was able to change up on gears so I am getting stronger. Sunday we are headed out for a 20 minute bike ride. Molly just bought a bike rack so she gets the fun of assembly then we will take it for a test ride on Sunday.
TGIF!!!!2 -
BTW...by pretty new bra is wireless. I have never worn wireless in my life. Very nice.1

Daily Check In: Thursday
Food: Pre-logged, ate as planned, under on calories
Water: plenty
Exercise & steps: 8 mile hike; 25,570 steps
Was back to my pre-trip weight this morning so feeling good about what I'm doing. Hike was a bit tough but I finished it. My hips and knees were achy... I'm assuming from all the time spent sitting in airplane seats or possibly a bit of inflammation from my crappy eating while away.
I'm meeting my cousin and her family for lunch in Missoula tomorrow as they're vacationing in Montana. I'm really excited as I haven't seen her in years. I caught myself thinking how I wouldn't need to plan dinner as I will have had a big lunch. Nope, nope nope... if I eat to satisfied I will need dinner so I have a delicious healthy dinner planned which will hopefully keep me from over eating at lunch. I'll peruse the menu today to come up with a couple options.
Happy Friday All! I had a morning yoga class then nothing scheduled for the afternoon... yahoo!! Free time for me!
@cydiesstuff I recently read the chapter in the Beck Diet Solution about not eating while standing. Seemed like a no-brainer but much tougher than I thought.
Its so true @Mrsbell8well I was reflecting just yesterday about my eating badly last weekend but its not nearly as bad as I used to eat!!Mrsbell8well wrote: »@cyndiesstuff Hurrah congrats on surviving till your last day.

Weren't my best days, but I'm planning a very busy weekend. For the first time I have 2 races on consecutive days. On Saturday I have a lighter trail run that is 12 km. And on Sunday I have a much tougher one that is 18 km climbing a mountain peak. I have no idea if I'll manage to finish both. But I've managed to do a bigger distance in a single day before... I did both races last year (in different weeks) and I'm very eager to beat my own results.
As for maintenance I still don't have a plan. What I've learned from my previous fail is that I shouldn't stop tracking my food. And I guess I'll stick to no sugar and late night snacking policy. So no change, except readjusting my calorie intake a little.
Have a fabulous weekend everyone ❣️3 -

yeah! i ate on plan yesterday. credit worthy acts, i drank my water, i got in my steps and exercise, i took my medicine and supplements, i did not snack after dinner and i packed up my office and said goodbye. i cried yesterday on my way to work. it would be the last time. i sat in my car when i got there and listened to my radio. i didn't really want to participate in the day yesterday. but it was my day. on the walk in, i thought about that sweet little town. and it's array of people. this is will miss. it was an excruciatingly long day. i had nothing to do and the boss showed up to say good bye and then left. when it was 4 oclock and i locked that door for the last time, i didn't feel sad. i felt relief and excitement. my last day was exactly the way it needed to be to remind me of why i had to go. jim took me out to dinner. i had maybe a quarter of my burger and a couple steak fries and for drink i celebrated with 2 craft beers. i am excited and nervous about the journey ahead. but it is my journey and i will wait for no one.
@carlsoda you got this. you can take 2 pounds off relatively quickly. don't let it get away from you. and i would say that the old you was throwing a temper tantrum and trying to change your mind about healthy eating. the brain is an amazing muscle. never underestimate its need for routine. it is the way we are designed. don't go back to your old routines. start right back with the new ones. soon they will be routine and this will be easier.
@sleepymom5 please remember how far you have come. this going to the shore is a struggle for you to stay on track. you know this. you can't live on vacation all summer long. well i guess you can... but then you will suffer the consequences. it is hard to change how you have always been but that is how you got where you are today. and if i remember correctly, you want to lose this weight BAD. so get up early and make your 24 hour plan. this is the new you. think about the pam you want to be. what would she do today?
@hope002 ohhh yea! now your moving in the right direction!! great job girl. you keep that up. what are you doing differently?
@lennoncpa hey girl!! look at you, had a camping trip and lost weight! there you go. making me proud. have you made a plan for today?
@pacsnc6 thats just a small gain. lets stop it now before it becomes a problem. look back at you journals from last week. what could you tweek? are you keeping a journal? this is why you should.
@Mrsbell8well ahhh yes. i no longer eat pig slop, i get to decide. i am not waiting any more. i start my new job monday!!! thanks for the congrats. this move is going to help me so much. it is an amazing positive step in the right direction. ohhh yea and i love my bra's that don't have an underwire. they feel sooooo much nicer.
@nstephenson01 i knew you would be right back to it. the new nancy is on track and in charge!! how is your garden? my garden looks amazing. i need to get out there today and check for tomato worms. ohhhh and what a wonderful nsv. you threw that old faulty thinking right out the window. kicked it to the curb. the new nancy is in charge! LOVE it!! and you need to do the exercise about hunger in the beck diet solution. it really is an eye opener.
@lenka1 reel it in girl. make slushies instead. i make mine with what ever fruit if fresh, right now the blueberries are amazing. i freeze them. then, put them in a blender with some 1% milk and some no cal crystal light (i use tropical fruit) and some honey. mmmmmmmm..... delish. so i don't think that you really need to stop, i think you need the fine art of substitution. you can do this lady!! now, what are you going to do today?
@Moarrein your maintenance plan sounds right on. if you are happy with what you are doing and you can see yourself doing it for the rest of your life, its perfect. after all this is a life style, not a diet. good luck on your races. be sure to hydrate and stretch!!

Good morning everyone! Happy weekend!
Last night Molly and I went out for Indian food. It was so delicious but oilier and saltier than I’m used to. Up 2 1/2 pounds this morning. But it’s Saturday and I’m reigning it in today. Not waiting till Monday. So sad since I have a fridge of leftovers. I rarely went out to eat when I was dieting. This is why. But I loved every bite. It was a special treat.
I know I can go out to eat and not gain but it’s still a learning game.
Getting ready to run. Looking forward to a lovely weekend.1 -
@phoebe112476 I almost told her to write her own letter and I would sign it. I hate writing letters and I hate having to give recommendations when they call.
@cyndiesstuff congrats on the next new chapter of your life. You get to leave your crappy boss behind.
I got up early and went for a walk, first workout since Sunday. Felt good. Getting my hair done now. I am on vacation countdown. Friday can't come soon enough. Might go to the movies today not sure yet but have to go shopping to get a few things for vacation. Happy Saturday3 -

Happy Saturday everyone. I went line dancing this morning so it’s starting out to be a great day. This week I danced on Tuesday Thursday Friday and today. In addition, it was my instructors birthday yesterday and his girlfriend brought one or two birthday cakes to every class!! Kind of crazy! I’m still off of sweets since November and it’s gotten easier to say no. After having a piece of cake shoved in my face I just say that I don’t like cake and that I have other sweets that are my downfall. It usually ends their attempt to force cake on me. Did you ever encounter someone trying to force food on you?!?! It’s so insane. Is it that misery loves Company?2

Good Morning!
Finally i am making time to check in and catch up on what is going on over here! Sounds like it’s been a busy month for everyone, I can’t believe we’re almost done July!
I’m still dog/house sitting for my boss, so i’ve been scrambling around between her house and my apartment (the rabbit is here at my place as the dog would definitely eat him if he saw him!) The good thing is I’m racking up lots of steps - yesterday I got 32,878 steps!
@cyndiesstuff - congratulations on your last day of work! Feeling relief & excitement as you walked away is a sure sign that whatever is coming next is meant to be! And i’m 100% with you on making the last few days of July the best ones yet!
@sleepymom5 - i’m in the same boat as you when it comes to being MIA lately - too many things on the go this month has really thrown my schedule off - only one more week of commitments for me, then I’m getting right back to my normal schedule!
@mrsbell8well - wireless bras are so much more comfortable! enjoy, lol! I remember after my breast reduction surgery when i got to wear a wireless for the first time - wow!
I’m not looking forward to my weigh in tomorrow, i’ve been eating terribly all week - staying in someone else’s house is so weird, plus she has 2 young sons which means fully stocked cupboards of treats! So...i guess we’ll see what tomorrow brings!

Last two weeks have been sooo busy. Trying restraint on food mode right now with some hope of getting back into the gym, work and home life has been overwhelmingly disruptive to setting plans and very stressful for me. Lost my gym buddy, my 13 year old is too tired this summer to go to the gym in the evenings after the activities we have going on for them during the day. Funny enough I’m on vacation now in Orlando, but still have work to finish. Need about 3-4 hours minimum by Monday... worked until 3 am Thursday, late again last night. All excuses I know Pnp would challenge.. maybe I should listen on vacation..3

I started logging food and walking. I haven't been doing much activity for the past few weeks, but ate a lot... That's why I gained a lot. Now that I am back on track, it's going in the right direction 🙂3 -

Check in for Saturday
Food: yes! on plan
Water: 66 oz
Exercise: 30 minute walk, house cleaning and watered garden
Steps: 12743
what a day yesterday. got up early and went and picked up my son for a visit. he had to do laundry and the community washer at his apartment is broken. i went over some mail he didn't understand and cut his hair. then me jim and josh went to my folks house. mowed grass, did moms medicine, and helped her with her bed sores. took josh home and came home and started laundry. cleaned house and watered the garden. oh yea, and when i brought my plants home from work, i realized they needed some plant maintenance. so i spend a lot of time cleaning, pruning, and caring for my plants. they are all very happy now for the time spent. phew. what a day. busy busy. today is meal plan and food prep for the week.
@Mrsbell8well we need to have joy food in our lives. it is important. but we need to remember that joy food is a treat and doesn't happen every day. once a week, maybe. and i don't think you gained weight. i think the sodium got all overreactive! no way you gained 2.5 pounds of fat. what you more than likely did was gain 2.5 pounds of water!! a good run and a lot of water, and some of your herbal tea will do the trick!
@ljdanny thanks, now i have said bye bye to that crappy boss! what an exciting time! yayayay it is vacation time for you. that is exciting too. are you getting your hair done the same as you always do? or are you trying something different?
@lennoncpa omgosh, girl. birthday cake at every dance class. the new you is doing great. what an amazing nsv. you have remained sugar free. and i have had people do that. at my going away party at work, everyone wants you to eat, why aren't you eating? ughhh. stick to it girl!!
@twyla77 wow. that is an amazing amount of steps, the highest i have ever gotten is 25000. and that doggy your sitting for is a cutie pie! and thanks for the congrats, i can't wait for tomorrow. i am all nerved up.... in a good way. and what ever the scale says today. there is no time like now to reel it in!!
@Julie8468 that is just a small gain. how are you doing? haven't heard from you. i am hoping your ok. and you are right. life happens every day. how are you going to show up? remember to imagine the future you, what would she be doing today? now act as if...... as if you are already her and it will come true. it is all up to you, you choose. now.... what do you choose today?
@DananaNanas ok, thats ok. what will you do today? make a plan, what is the next best choice? come on. lets make this last week in July count.

my plan for the week.
no snacks after dinner
get 10k steps every day, even with the new job
drink my water, at least 60 oz
eat on plan
take my supplements and medicine daily
and hoping that i take off that gain from last week
thats my plan. looks simple enough but i now it is not going to be easy. but most things in life that are worthy are usually hard. i have done hard things before. this is my plan and i am going to do it. for me. i will not wait any longer. this week i will like like the new Cyndie. this is what she does to be at the weight she needs to be at. i have promise her that i will look out for her. after all, she is the only me i will ever have.
now....
wheres your plan team? time to share. what are you going to do this week? what does the new you act like? act like her (or him if @eyesopennow is listening, i havent given up on you) now. act as if....

@Mrsbell8well we saw the Lion King. I wasn't that impressed. I liked the cartoon better.
@cyndiesstuff I usually get my hair colored purple. She went a little darker purple than I'm used to. I think it looks black. My husband said he can't find me in the store now, I look like everyone else. She told me if I didn't like it to pop back in this week and she would add highlights but I don't know if I have the time with getting ready to go away for 2 weeks. It will lighten up eventually. And 5 weeks comes quick for my next color, I'm not to worried. Change is ok for now.2 -

Daily Check In: Saturday
Food: Didn't log, assuming over
Water: Pretty good
Exercise & steps: 30 minute dog walk; 10,163 steps
Lunch with my cousin's family was great fun. I ordered the Bison burger with a Huckleberry barbecue sauce. Delish! Removed the top bun, ate 2/3 and boxed the rest. Ate the rest upon returning home... oh well, I'm a work in progress. Dinner was a delightful experiment... grilled swordfish topped with a chimichurri sauce made from herbs in my garden. Felt good about how I ended the day despite eating out.
My weight seems to have settled at a sticking point yet again. Ugh. So meals and exercise are planned for the week. How often have I said that?!?! LOL
Goals for the week:
Pre-log food and eat as planned
3-4 vegetarian dinners/week
90,000 steps
2 yoga classes
Need to get some chores done in the garden before it heats up. Will check in later. Wishing everyone a great Sunday!1 -
I do things at pain levels others wouldn't even consider moving at because if I don't I won't have a life. This doesn't mean I'm having a "good day". It only means that I was able to be stronger than my pain today. I thank God for that!4
