Morning walk with my housemate before we went to church then another afternoon catching up on series while it rains and before my kidney and his kids come to visit this week!
Below my limit for calories so a successful day for me and still technically possible to make winners circle if I don't use any more pass days.6 -

I am in another challenge & I have to text a picture of the scale every Monday. It sure is a motivator to stay on track during the weekend.

I was tired this morning after missing out on a few hours of sleep I normally get. I had to wake up early for a 7 am hair appointment.............LOL Then hubby took me out to breakfast. We have a favorite little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant we like (they cater some of our parties with a fantastic taco bar) but I kept things under control, had a light lunch and dinner so it was fine.
Exercise: Yes, I only barely managed 30 minutes of hip therapy but I did to the squats, RDL's and step-ups so that burns some calories. I really haven't been dizzy (from vertigo) in a couple of days so I'm hoping to add up a bit more exercise minutes at the gym and walking my poochie this week
Calories: Yes, about 200 under
Tracked: Yes and I froze the leftover brownies so we wouldn't be tempted
Have a great week everyone!6 -
Exercise? Assuredly. 55 minute walk. Cleaning.
Within my calorie goal? Yeah. Really struggling to eat the calories I earn on an active day. I was under a lot today. I'm wondering if I'll be able to maintain. (I was losing slowly just due to GERD before I decided to diet.)
Tracked everything? Of course.3 -

Exercise: Yes - sanding furniture, 18 holes golfing cart

Went golfing with friends and then we all went out for dinner and drinks. There are no words. But I haven’t done anything like this since Christmas. I had fun. In the past, I would say “oh well” and continue to have this type of fun. I am trying to find ways to socialize in non dinner and drink ways but finding people to do the same is hard. I want to socialize but it seems all people want to do is meet for dinner and drinks. I’m beginning to feel isolated and that’s just a bummer. Seriously, gold fish crackers were involved while having cocktails before dinner. I’m not upset about tonight. It was one night. I’m upset that I don’t know how to live differently and not be completely alone. And if one more person takes a picture of their food and posts i5 before eating, I may throw my fork at them. Maybe it’s me. I know, I’m whining. Maybe I’ve lost my mind.
Pass 3/3.5 -
On track day.
Modicum of exercise. 400 foot single climb. No repeat. I got 11,700 for Jan so far. I guess that is better than totally sedentary. I got 13,000 last Jan and 16,000 Jan before that. Eh, January don't have to be record ambition.
Afterwards drove out to one of my old haunts. I just explored it driving.
It is blacktop rather than dirt.
Haven't done blacktop in a while.
I'll have to remember the rear view mirror that hooks on to my glasses.
There wasn't much traffic on it during my exploration of it.
If I go early on a holiday like tomorrow, shouldn't be but a couple of cars going by.
Speed limit is 35 and it really not a fast road. Steep embankments.
Trouble on a road like that is when a car come from opposite direction at the same time one is trying to pass from behind.
I got my little mirror, I will know it is happening or going to happen and just get off the road.
I think I know where a mountain lion hangs out over by there. Maybe if I am ambitious I will go over there and check it.
I seen a coyote this morning. He is like a fox. If he pretends like he can't see me then he thinks I can't see him.
Reminded of my antics back in elementary school. I hide behind a book and think that teacher couldn't see me.
Buddy came over yesterday. Comes again tomorrow.
Sometimes I call him Little Buddy and I am reminded of what Skipper used to call Gilligan on Gilligan's Island.4 -
This is the view from high up in the Teton Mountain Range looking across the valley to yet another range on the other side.
Hi, I'm back! I've been traveling here and there and lost track of tracking! Last week was ski week .. maybe my favorite week of the year. We went to Jackson Hole WY - majestically beautiful! I was out everyday in the cold and snowy fresh air, skiing for hours, followed by a hot tub, dinner and 9 or 10 hours of sleep each night. (This is not my normal sleeping schedule! I feel so rested.) I am grateful for the regular exercise encouraged by this group! Without the barre classes, the dreaded weights, hikes, etc., I would have not been able to enjoy the week as much.
Back to the real world! Yes x 3 - exercise today was recovery stretching, yoga with Adrian, and generally active all day around the house and grocery. My knees are happy to be back home

Pass 3/3.
@readyornot1234
I have faced & do faced the isolation of not eatingANDsocializing.
Some of the things I do:
1.I never suggest eating out. (I figured out that usually I was the one suggesting that.) So I stopped that.
2. I suggested coffee/tea or a walk or both. I learned that Almost ALL of my friends (thin folks) LOVE that! Now if they ask me to lunch, they’ll say or we could get coffee or take a walk, if you prefer.
3. I really faced how bad restaurant food is for me & for my health. Literally one meal & my addiction flares up. It is the last habit I need to overcome. To my knowledge, folks don’t push alcohol on alcoholics. But, they don’t realize one meal out, can trigger almost identical issues for me of overconsumption, falling of wagon, negative self talk, hopelessness.
4. I have invited groups over for art times.
5. I am considering joining several other groups around common non-food interests.
6. I invite them to my house for a meal, so I can have good options.
7. I pay attention to how slender friends order & eat at restaurants, hoping to learn better habits.
8. I am hoping I can learn to have 1/2 of the meal boxed up when it arrives...but have not been successful yet.
9. Only order one thing. A salad or an entree or dessert or a drink (other than water.)
Do not give up. You can solve this.6 -

@MadisonMolly2017 - those are all good suggestions. I needed a plan and you have given me much needed tools. I’m new to this state. I’m going to look into some groups/programs around here and try to meet some like minded people. I will also suggest more active socializing with those I do know. Who knows, maybe they are having the same difficulties I am. I didn’t say anything about my preferences. Maybe they are feeling the same and didn’t say anything either. We seem to be so conditioned to socializing with food and alcohol. Thank you for sharing. I was really down last night.4

@readyornot1234, I've faced similar problems but we've stopped meeting friends for dinner and generally get together at different houses once a month or so and do a potluck. Most of the girls are trying to lose weight so we all cook accordingly. I don't mind having water instead of alcohol but sometimes I'll have a glass of wine.
I haven't really found too many women to do active things with unless it's my daughter or daughter in law and they're both in CO and I'm in CA so I do most of my active things solitary. I joined a hiking group last year but they were all much younger (by decades) than me and I couldn't really keep up with them. I was self-conscious about holding the group back because I was slower than them.
I have my husband to hang out with at home but he's not active.
In your case I would try to find groups you can join. If I were alone that's what I would do. I can't really do that now because my husband wouldn't like that I don't think...............LOL
I also go to the gym and I know not everyone is interested in doing that but there are classes and I think that would be an opportunity to socialize a bit. I have a few friends at the gym that I chat with.
Good luck on the adventure!
