My 6 and 7 things from my list of 10!
6. I am very thankful for my parents. They raised me with good values.
7. MFP and this group. This support has helped me be successful and get over the bumps.0 -
Hey team
I’m going off internet in terms of everything but school. I just started school and have noticed MFP is another stress for me ( I need to check it off my check list) so I’ll be back in December!
Y’all will accomplish your goals!3 -

Item 5 : My current job, after years of paper pushing in a pointless exercise of compiling information for the government of the day to say how much tax needs to be paid I still do the same thing though now for a volunteering organisation that I believe actually makes a difference. It is 3:30am, I am at work to complete the year end audit and I really don't mind.1 -
Lazy couple of days finishing my holiday off with a friend at a hotel with a pool. Today I travel home and then from tomorrow get my head back in the game!

August is coming to an end... I'm feeling a little nervous. Almost like at work when there is a production incentive and you ask yourself "could I have done just a little better?"
I just updated my NERD SHEET and it is predicting about a 2 lb loss for the week. I am just not feeling it. It has been pretty accurate to date, but seeing the math and science behind weight loss again - makes me nervous. I feel like my nerd sheet keeps me honest. If it is off for 1 week - this could be sodium, water retention in my muscles, cyclical, etc. If it is off for 2 weeks - then this is human error. I am not tracking my calories properly.
As I am typing this - I'm noticing my wedding ring is tighter than it was yesterday. THIS is probably why I'm not feeling it. What does this tell me? Listen to your body -- My fingers didn't get overly fat overnight. I AM retaining water for some reason. What will I do about it?? CHUG CHUG CHUG!!
Ok, I will stop rambling on this morning. I hope everyone has an AMAZING DAY! I can't wait to see the Friday weigh ins start to appear!!!

The cycle is broken. I lost 2 weeks in a row. I weigh myself daily and all week it was looking good. I have been cleaning out the storage closet and all the rooms in our apartment this week. I have gone back and forth to the garbage bin so much this week someone asked me if I was moving out. Wednesday was a very active day with my granddaughter. I think I must have burned lots of calories.5 -

I was really worried about this past week because of the margaritas and wine that I had. And I’m headed out of town for a football game (my heart’s divided-both of my kids’ schools are playing each other!)
I’m hoping to increase my walking and I’m aiming for a minimum of 3,000 steps a day. Not much compared to pre-injury but I realized I need to make incremental gains instead of trying to jump back where I was. Next month I’ll be back at yoga and I snagged the last opening for a senior water aerobics class so I’m hoping to make some progress in September!2 -

I am good either way. I don't do the step challenge, so I just skim past them.0

Since I have lost the weight I haven’t made any big changes to my wardrobe. I did buy a couple of smaller pairs leggings as my others where falling down. I am wearing mostly the same tops I wore last summer. My friends sister gave me a bag of clothes. I can’t believe how much my top size has changed. I am excited to wear these new clothes. My NSV of the day.5

Moderators - I just changed from user name from 'pjshawley' to 'Pamela_Sue'. Decided having my last name on here may not be best. And Sue isn't really my middle name; it is just what I say when I am frustrated with myself!3

I won’t be much help for dinner as I make something different every evening. Do you use Pinterest? I find lots of ideas for meals and recipes. I eat a light lunch as our dinners tend to be heavier on calories. What can I say, I am married to a meat and potatoes guy. My lunch now that the grandkids are back in school will be a protein shake and 1/2 a banana. It is quick and easy. I buy my protein powder from the gym when they have it on sale. It is triple chocolate and even has chocolate chips in it. I use some diet cranberry juice, the protein powder, the other half of the banana and some ice. Mix in the magic bullet and lunch in minutes.
But for dinners this week we are having roast chicken, chicken teriyaki, ground beef stew, shake and bake skin less chicken thighs, shrimp scampi and meatballs. The teriyaki recipe is great because you make the marinade and you can freeze the chicken in it for your next meal. So I will make several batches. Sorry this is so long.0
