I took a lot of time with my responses below so not a lot of time to write this am. Quiet July 4th planned but we are having a lot of guests down for the weekend. They will be arriving early Friday since no one is working. I am prepared for that and have a plan but I was planning to go to lunch yesterday and it turned into an afternoon drinking event. I did drink water in between and with my drinks but I drank more than I should have. Right back at it today. I am not sure about my exercises today, my hip isn't feeling that great. I think it might have been because I was on a good routine with the medication and I tried to take it back a little because I was feeling good on it. It is either from that or because I did too much the past few days. So I will just get some short walks in with Daisy and try to get steps in throughout the day. Mk also is working today but hurt her hand Monday night under suspicious circumstances and didn't say anything to me until this morning. She even went out last night but today it is swollen and bruised so I am taking her to urgent care between her two jobs. It would have been easier if she said something after it happened. She is also being a little shady with how it happened. I am sure drinking was involved which she is on a lot of meds for anxiety so even though she is underage, she still shouldn't be drinking. Oh well...like @Mrsbell8well posted a few day is so true. We still have to make ourselves a priority no matter what is going on in our lives. Have a nice day everyone!
@Cafelelia You can stay on for July and have two excused weigh ins. Let me know what you want to do.
@phoebe112476 Nice loss! Glad the scale ended up just being batteries. Enjoy your trip! You have had such a busy few weeks so I am glad you are getting some fun in!
@julie8468 You may not be doing as well as you like but you really are doing well. You are putting thought into what you are doing and checking in every day. I actually have done the same and went to bed when I got and urge to eat and its late. Hang in there!
@lennoncpa I also like how our team is all over the world but we still all share similar struggles. I don't think I knew you had your hips replaced. It is awesome that they work so well now! You are such an active lady!
@amsandos As you already know, I am in for the pact! I do love how you are giving yourself credit for the good things you are doing, that is so important. I really have an over eating issue that I am dealing with too. I agree, although it is better to overeat on healthy things, overeating itself isn't good. I thought it was funny you overate cherries- I actually didn't buy cherries when I was grocery shopping for that reason. Lol! How exciting that you are going to the Who!! Wow! Lucky girl! I used to get all depressed and worry about the food situation at fun events but I really think with planning you can still have an awesome night. I know you won't really know until you are there what will be on the menu but make a plan of how much you are going to have or do the 3/4 like I am doing. Get everything you want and eat 3/4 of it. You can do this!
@Mrsbell8well Awesome job hitting goal! I am so excited for you!! You're right, you don't have to be perfect, just healthy from now on! Love your race pics-what a cute little team and you look amazing! Enjoy your vacation!!
@cyndiesstuff You're right. We all have to be our best selfs no matter our circumstances. I love the post with enjoying your favorite food in moderation. I had too many times that I was restrictive and it backfired. I am glad you have some time off. Enjoy!
@nstephenson01 Nice loss! Wow! Already 1/2 way to your step goal for the week! That is awesome!
@phoebe112476 Nice loss! Glad the scale ended up just being batteries. Enjoy your trip! You have had such a busy few weeks so I am glad you are getting some fun in!

@nstephenson01 Nice loss this week! You have been working hard and I am impressed you are already 1/2 way to your step goal for the week! That is awesome!
@carlsoda You are doing great! Sounds like you had a nice dinner with your family and have a nice couple of days planned. Enjoy!! Btw-I am glad the sugar cravings are gone, that whole 30 is an awesome eating plan!
@Barbb1557 Nice loss! Sounds like you kick butt at the gym too! I think they may have given us the wrong starting weigh in. They have you at 256 for starting but I am assuming you are at 156? I just want to be sure before I ask them to change it.
@gottagetthisdown I am not sure how much you should be drinking but that sounds like a good plan. I actually heard it is different for everyone, we all should be drinking until our pee is a pale yellow color.
@carlsoda and @nstephenson01 Bears weren't even on my radar on @nstephenson01's hikes! Yikes! Sounds like you know what you are doing though thank goodness!
@Moarrein Sounds like a good two days for you! Good job with no snacking but if you are truly hungry, sometimes you can have one. Keep on doing what you are doing!2 -
Daily Check In: Wednesday
Food: Logged, over
Water: Good
Exercise & steps: quick dog walk; 11,458 steps
Yesterday's short walk got a little shorter as lightening and thunder were a little too close for comfort. Good thing we turned around when we did as the sky opened up and it poured just as we returned home. I love the sound of a good rain storm! My weeding project got delayed and the lazies settled in and then the munchies. I was starving for some reason so ate more during the day than planned. Spent some time during the storm working on the banking and dug out the external hard drive to back up my Quicken file. Photos are archived on that drive also and I started looking at old pics of happier times with my friend in California that's very ill. We looked so young without a care in the world. Made me melancholy. Then this morning I got a text that she is back in the hospital. Guess unknowingly our cosmic connection made me look at those old photos at the same time she was getting admitted to ICU... who knows. Anyhoo... the rain stopped and I got a few chores in managing to squeak out 10,000 steps after all.
8 mile hike is in the bag... no bear sightings. LOL Today's hike went better but it was probably psychological as now I know where the 4 mile turn around spot is. Going to rest up a bit before tonight's festivities.
Sounds like a great dinner @carlsoda! You make whole30 look easy!
Looking vivacious @Mrsbell8well!! You exude health!
Take care of that hip @sleepymom5 so you can do the things you enjoy. Sorry about MK... kids will be kids, I guess.
Happy 4th of July to those of us in the US!4 -
daily check in
food logged and under
water on target
going for a run later hopefully it will be a bit cooler
@mrsbell8well well done on your run that is awesome. Happy holiday I had in American group in the museum today. They had lots of fun. I made sure they gave them a special time.
I am so excited about seeing the Who I am so lucky. I have been on the internet and chosen my dinner tomorrow. A nice chicken flatbread.
@sleepymom5 and @carlsoda. How are you doing with breaking your habits? I managed another day but I was so hungry in the afternoon this time. I had pasta salad for lunch instead of sandwiches. I wonder if that makes a difference. What is interesting is that I have found it easy to stick to my calorie allowance and even had cake for dessert. it is interesting to note how many calories I have been consuming through eating between meals. I have had my tea and I am currently still feeling hungry but I have had my dinner now and done my logging so tough. Hunger is my weight loss superpower and self discipline is love. It is not like am not starving myself just re calibrating my consumption. I will have to make sure that I have a big breakfast tomorrow.
5 things I did right today.
took water into class
stick to my plan
made healthy choices
had a healthy breakfast
had a healthy tea.

For some reason I had the impression that I had gained this week. Maybe because I check my weight more often than once a week and the scale had shown me a smaller value at some point. But I just checked the spreadsheet and it turns out I've lost a little. I love it when I lose this much every week, because I consider it a sustainable loss. If for some reason I lose more, there's always the danger of yo-yo effect.
Daily check in for Trursday
Food - logged and under
Water - enough
exercise - 90+ min walking; 10 min chair exercises
steps - 17206
Although I have some problems with late nigh snacks I think I'm doing well so far. I know it's not a healthy habit but if I'm hungry it's better to have something light then starve. I think I need to have proper dinner to prevent getting hungry before bedtime.
Yesterday I shared a pack of late night gummy bears and a glass of red whine with hubby, to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary. We had a very busy day and didn't have any time for us. So this was the only idea I could come up with.
I also realize I have to run more often if I want to participate in races, but cannot find proper time lately. It's too hot during the day, and I'm busy with work and preparations for our vacation next week. I also have some problems at work. They started watching close how much I work and what exactly I do. Which means no more exercising during work time

@Moarrein nice loss. Your really doing well. Happy anniversary.
What’s your goal weight and how tall are you? It is hard to find time to do it all. Hang in there0 -
Had a really nice day yesterday. Started with 5K with family. Did some grocery shopping for Beyond plant based burgers no one wanted beef, went swimming in the pool with the kids, ate a burger, took a hot bath, and a long nap. Did yoga, ate a vegan ice cream cone, watched bachelorette, then Molly took mom and Skylynn and me to watch fireworks. Perfect day.
I’m glad the scale is under the bed this morning. I did fine but I still want to lose 1/2-1 pound by next Wednesday.3 -

@sleepymom5 sorry your still suffering. It’s hard when your used to being so active. Our kids always keep us hopping. We all have our little life lessons growing up. I just assured 9 year old Skylynn that it was part of being normal but to practice being normal at her moms house. She can be “perfect” when she’s with us lol.
@nstephenson1 sorry to hear about your friend Nancy. It’s sad. Great job with your hike. Sounds like your back in action. I remember days when I was famished too. For some odd reason that doesn’t happen much anymore. I try to eat a lot at lunch and 1-2 snacks during the day. Light dinner or sometimes I skip it. And I try to stay nourished and hydrated to avoid that feeling. And sometimes I just sit with that hungry feeling to see what that feels like. Sounds like you handled it well. And great loss this week. Congrats!
@amsandos good way to be smart and plan ahead. Your really doing great. I love reading your insights as you navigate your fitness goals.
@ljdanny welcome to the 80’s! Enjoy your pool time!
@phoebe112476 my goodness you have certainly had some busy exciting months. Are you still dating the person you were telling us about? I’m so happy for you that you sold your home. You deserve this much needed fun time. Great job on your weight loss journey.
@lennoncpa I too love that we have formed this connection with friends around the world.
@barbb1557 your fitness routine is so inspiring!
@carlsoda glad your whole 30 is going well. I was always a sugar girl and love to bake. I gave up sugar in October but now I still love to create desserts with maple syrup or dates. It’s still sweet but I think it’s better for me and better tasting.
Good luck! I know you were successful before.
@cyndiesstuff I did the whole name change too! I know your still in pain. Just keep hanging in there. What are you doing today?
Happy Friday everyone!

Ahh I’m creeping up... panicking a little, but helps that I know what’s happening. I need to get my schedule in order and plan better meals. Still not getting to gym, last time was Sunday. Our summer schedule is very erratic, and work is very busy as there are deadlines everyday, and won’t let up this time of year. Have to go to Montreal again next week, I have to train a new team member. All facts, now I need to figure out how to do better at managing me.3

Had a good day yesterday. Saw Toy Story 4 with family then a cookout at my daughter's. Did not eat too much but probably too much salt! Storms in the area kept me away from the fireworks but the shows from NY and DC were good. I wish the rain was on my side of town. I think we got a few drops as I stepped out of the car but not enough to say I got wet!
It has been very hot and humid here for a couple weeks so my step counts are on the low side instead of increasing but that won't last forever. I prefer hot weather to cold anyway - 100+ heat index is too hot though.2 -

Yesterday was a success! 6 miles of hiking (we were exhausted by the end) and ate Whole30 perfect. I brought Applegate Farms turkey, hard boiled eggs, almonds, veggies (gallon size bag all chopped up), fruits and tessemme cilantro lime ranch. Had enough left over for supper when we get home! My calves are feeling it this morning!
@Mrsbell8well - you are so cute in your pics! Congratulations again on reaching goal!! I love baking too - my great-grandfather owned a bakery so it’s in the blood. My dad was an amazing baker too. To me it can become a slippery slope. I will have to tread carefully!
@sleepymom5 - good luck with all the visitors. Hope you figure out what happened with MK. My daughter does shady things like that too, so I can feel for you. Kids!
@amsandos - do you ever journal the foods you eat and how it affects you? I wonder if the pasta salad had too many carbs (which turn into sugar in your bloodstream) and not enough healthy fat and protein. Maybe that’s why a sandwich keeps you full longer? Personally for me - I have learned that grains and sugar lead to weight gain thanks to cravings. But it look years to figure that out. Journaling should help you! I started doing the 24 hour plan from PNP and assessing it at the end of the day. It can be a chore, but so worth it!
@nstephenson01 - great job on the hike! 8 miles of hiking is very impressive!4 -

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July! I can't believe we are in July already!
Sorry I have been MIA, just been very busy!
Not exactly where I wanted to be at this point of the year, Vegas is less than 3 weeks away. I am just going to try to stay on plan as much as possible and not put too much pressure on myself to get to a certain weight, I feel like that mind-set is sabotaging my success. I feel ok at this weight, my clothes are fitting, but not where I want to be. I am going to try my best to get the scale down, but I am feeling ok.
Hope you are all enjoying your summer! So far it has been quiet, no big plans other than our quick trip to Vegas. My boys are too grown to hang out with me, lol. My oldest is working 2 jobs and the younger one is 15 and hangs out with his friends, definitely liking the freedom of getting older. They are good kids, so I can't complain. I know their friends and they are good kids as well. Parenting is a never-ending job and is always filled with worry!
Have a great weekend! 4 -

daily check in
food over but still in the weight loss zone
water possibly a bit under teaching all day
exercise rest day
I really enjoyed my visit to Pizza Hut. I had black cherry cream soda it was absolutely delicious, cheese garlic bread, salad bar and a pina colada flat bread. It had pineapple, jackfruit, mozzarella and rocket. It was so nice to hang out with my friends somewhere a bit different.
@sleepymom5 I hope your daughter is ok. I hope you get the chance to have a good talk to her and that she can open up to you. Teenagers are such a mystery to me. I am quite nervous about my daughters teens although that is a why off.
@carlsoda I do journal I am not very disciplined. I will look for some patterns. I do find that if I have a big lump of protein and veg I stay satisfied for longer than if I had eaten carbs. i think the modern diet is so carb heavy I am not convinced that this is a natural way to eat. How are you doing with your whole 30 challenge? Are you staying on the straight and narrow
Who Concert tomorrow. I have a lot standing in my way between then and now. First go for a run. LO has a concert she is a little pig and very excited to have a speaking part. Then I need to go to the bank. I also want to go to the shed showroom. I have to go to the health food shop to get some caffeine free coffee the library to get out a book for my reading challenge. I am going to try and read on the train down to London. Busy day but I am so excited. With all this going on I don't expect to be thinking about food much. I also that I have to make sure my handbag is the right size. Wembley are clamping down on security so I am only able to take a little hand bag. I would also like to get some sandals. All before i get my train at 15.00 my husband says I can be over ambitious at times.6 -
Daily check in for Thursday
Food not logged but probably over. Did eat to satisfied.
Water not enough
Exercise A few short walks
Steps 6175
Yesterday seem so far away to check in Lol! I did better yesterday than today. Tomorrow I am going to log. It is just a pain when I am not really sure what I am doing. I am trying to eat to satisfied or 3/4 of meal. It is hard to check in when I have guests but I am going to try to do my best. I will check in at some point tomorrow.
@nstephenson01 Isn't that crazy how you are looking at old pic and reminiscing about your friend right when she is going back into the hospital. I will keep her in my prayers. You just amaze me with those long hikes! Great job!
@amsandos I am losing track, is the Who today? Good luck with all your errands before you go. Lol! Enjoy! So far so good for me with eating to satisfied or 3/4 of meals. So two good days. Love the 5 good things! You are having a great streak!
@ljdanny Nice loss! Sounds like you had a nice 4th! Hope you had a relaxing time by the pool today!
@Moarrein Nice loss!! Happy Anniversary too! Sounds like you are doing a good job keeping the snacking down. If you are truly hungry then you should eat something. I am sorry they are checking on you at work. Hopefully you can find some other time to fit some exercise in.
@Mrsbell8well Sounds like you had a lovely 4th! I love how you and your family seem to find a race to participate in together. What an awesome tradition and wonderful memories for years to come.
@julie8468 You're right, you know what you have to do. You really have been doing well, don't let a slight gain derail you. Just keep plugging along. Things are probably not as bad as you think they are so just try to get a handle on it now.
@lennoncpa Nice loss!
@pacsnc6 Sounds like you are doing well. That slight gain is probably the sodium you are not used to having. Drink a lot of fluids!
@lenka1 That is just a small gain. I am sure it is from working out. Hope all is going well.
@carlsoda Nice loss! What a nice day! Great job packing up healthy food to bring with you and sticking to your plan!
@hkfleming Nice loss! Hope all is well!
@kirsten11872 I am glad to hear that everything is going well with you. Keep kicking butt!

Food 2 days of eating what I want and when. Going to do a scale check this morning. Feeling super skinny but the scale doesn’t always match how I feel.
Water-fine
Exercise-yoga 22 minutes
It was a pretty chill day yesterday. Molly and I took our bikes to the repair shop. Very excited to start training! Tuesday we begin a 14 week training countdown till my birthday and a 36 mile bike ride on the Virginia creeper.
Watched 2 episodes of bachelorette. Don’t judge me too much. The shows are awful and I just love them.
Forced myself to do yoga at8:30 pm. Not much energy throughout the day.
Today mom and I are going over to decorate, clean and organize Josh’s bedroom. He just turned 11. My daughters boyfriends son. Last kids room and we are done.
I have mountains of organizing to do at home over the next few days. Hope my energy comes back.
Have a great weekend everyone!!!
@sleepymom5 thanks for your continued support to our team!!! It’s appreciated. I know it’s time consuming.3 -
Beyond burger...better than beef and so yummy 😋2 -
Daily check in for Friday
Food on track
Water lots
Exercise 30 minute walk and swimming
Steps 3326 (had to take the fit bit off)
yesterday was a beautiful day. it was 101 degrees with 89% humidity. one of our cousins texted they were going out on the boat, did we want to go? ummmm yes please. the only condition was no technology! we spent the day swimming, tubing, and lounging on lake St Clair. so although i didn't get a lot of steps, we did get a lot of exercise.
so today is laundry day! lucky me. feeling a little sore but thats ok.
@Mrsbell8well your holiday vacation sounds lovely. sure hope your mom feels better. this hot weather is tough on our old folks. and that blue tank looks amazing on you. that is your color. how pretty!! and the one after the race!!! hey skinny minnie!! i am so proud of you and you look so happy.
@nstephenson01 ohhh yea nancy!! two pounds down. good job. this new lady your building it fantastic!! it is funny you talk about melancholy. i was feeling that way as i was lying in bed this morning. my mind was sifting thru old memories and times gone by. and all that planted me right here where i am today. life really is an amazing journey. good times, bad, growing older. life changes and we change and adapt. it really is an amazing journey.
@carlsoda yup i am off till monday too. and mmmmm the food you made sounds yummo!!! and you can make such amazing things with fruit. on the whole 30 can you have honey? nice loss this week too. the whole 30 is agreeing with you. you are putting in the hard work.
@amsandos mmmm... i love a good flatbread. i bet it will be yummy! and you are going to have a great time and feel great that you stayed on track as well. recalibrating your consumption!! ohhhh yes girl. that is the idea!! and what feeling does that action produce? you decide and you have. it is your super power!!!!!!
@ljdanny there you go! you into the 180's now. no going back. we are going to do this this time! mmmm... i love me some zumba!!
@Moarrein holy moly girl. that is a great loss. what is your final goal? but really? are you starving? i think you were FEELING hungry. and the fact was you were bored and it was what you always do. you can't change the fact. but you can change how you feel about it. and trust me you weren't starving. words are powerful. be careful what you say to yourself. you might be listening!!
@Julie8468 that is just a small gain. you got this. what will you do differently this week? what is your next best step? and your right. the facts will remain the same. and when you make it thru this busy time in your life there will be another one to go thru. the sooner we figure out how to manage our minds around our life the better we will function. what do you tell yourself about those facts. write them down, and say them out loud. even if you don't believe them now. you will. you will learn to live up to your own expectations.
@pacsnc6 that is just a small gain. you got this. what will you do this week to further you to your goal? what is your next best step? and it has been really hot and humid here for a few weeks to. last night when we left the boat it started to rain. everyone was running to their cars. not me. i walked slowly and enjoy the coolness I had been given.
@lenka1 that is just a baby gain. whats up? how are you doing?
@lennoncpa nice job on that loss!! it has been sooooo hot. what are you doing to keep cool?
@sleepymom5 sorry for the no show yesterday. it was an unplanned no technology day. sounds like you are going to have a very busy weekend. you take care, have fun, and remember, moderation is the key!! nice loss. at the shore, bad butt muscle and a loss!!! rock star!!
@hkfleming wooooo whoooo, nice loss. how are your doing?
@kirsten11872 maybe when you get back from your vacation you sit down and do some real reflection on what has been working. do the start stop and keep journal. make a formalized plan. right down how you will allow yourself to feel about it. i know you have been struggling. and struggling is worth it if you spend the time to learn from it. keep working at it. it is a work in progress.
