I've gotten used to the reduced calories (1300) and I'm in a routine of controlled portions for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. If I could only tame down my weekend dinner and red wine over-indulgences I'd get to goal in no time, but the point for me is sustainable and baby steps otherwise as soon as I stop tracking I'll rebound faster than ever (been there - done THAT!) So Saturday night I probably have a few too many extra scoops of mashed potatoes, but it's all about balance! I don't feel deprived and I probably won't until Sangria Season arrives. That will be the true test! My favourite thing last summer was floating on my boat or an inflatable tube with my Sangria and a book. That's how I got to my starting weight last August. If anyone has low-calorie sangria recipes, pass them my way!!
Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday everyone!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Yippee! So proud of you. You must be so happy. Keep up the good work. And yes on the Sangria light. Sounds delicious. I’ll keep my eye open.1 -
How it get to be to be Wednesday?! Slow going this morning. Still need to do my Pilates. I spent some good time working in my garden cleaning things up and planting omelet new plants yesterday. Silly me. I did this after having my first mani/pedi in over a year. It’s ok. Mainly needed cuticles cleaned up on my hands and i wear gloves.
Trying to help my son brainstorm a move for next week. He called a moving company, at my suggestion, And they wanted over $3,000 to move a sparse 1 bedroom apt. 200 miles. Yikes. seems so high.
Have a great day everyone And welcome to our new members. 🙂3 -

Hi Lori - lucky you with a husband who makes dinner! It is always tricky to balance good old predictable food (where it is easy to track your foods, know what to expect, and keep it under control, but it's, well, boring) with interesting new foods (where it is easy to go off plan, or overboard, or find things you really don't like). I hope the gang here can help you find some inspiration to get in there and try your hand at a few dishes. I'm a big one for eating the same basic recipe every day but varying the sauce or flavour elements - a skillet full of vegetables and whatever protein or legumes, and then toss on pesto, soy/ginger, herbs, curry, etc. There are others in here doing keto or similar plans as well, so I imagine you'll find some buddies. In any case, welcome!
It had an amusing appointment this morning - the surgeon who removed my hematoma six weeks ago finally was to see how it is doing. I got there on time, and waited, and waited... the nurse came out and told the few of us who were waiting that the doctor had not arrived and they were trying to reach him without success. Another 20 minutes later she told us he would be there in 15 minutes. I was the first appointment, so I went into the exam room and after another bit of a wait, in he strolled looking like he had just stepped off the ski slopes. Well he had! He got the days mixed up after several schedule changes, and had thought he had the morning off to go skiing. He looked downright dashing, if rather embarrassed. It made a nice change from tired old scrubs or boring doctor dark trousers and white shirt. In any case, I still have a lot of inflammation and have to be patient. Hmmph. But at least I can do any kind of exercise, pressure won't do any harm, and gradually over the next weeks or months the pain and swelling should subside. I will be able to get back on my horse one of these days! It still hurts a bit too much, but soon, I hope. So it is time to work up the exercise routines again - they have rather fallen off lately...
Sorry for the long story!
HEADS UP for Thursday weigh-ins:

@kalaki6145 and @ashleycarole86 - you are new, but if you want to submit your Thursday weight, then your starting weight for April will be the most up-to-date. Thanks!2 -

@jugar and group - Good morning! This is my first weigh-in for April. I'm looking forward to the motivation and accountability of this group! Posting my weight each week will definitely keep me focused. Thanks!

Thanks for the reminder @jugar ... I was thinking the same otherwise my week 1 results would be unfairly skewed.

So happy Thursday, all! Things are warm and lovely here for the last day for a while, so I'm going to try to find somewhere not too muddy to walk. Have a good one!4 -

I had a lovely NSV (non-scale victory) today. Since last April 10th, I have not been able to do many of the Pilates exercises that are part of the workouts I was doing every day. Due to an injury on my left buttock, there were NO roll-ups, no rolling like a ball, no open leg rocker, and only limited exercises lying on my back. I still kept up doing Pilates as much as I could, sticking to more standing work and more downward facing exercises. Yesterday the surgeon told me that even though the site is still quite swollen, there is absolutely no danger now to put as much pressure on it as I want to (or can stand!). Today, almost a year since falling on the danged thing, I did a full Pilates workout including some of those rolls and stuff. It wasn't perfect, but I feel somewhat less lopsided, and very happy to be able to roll over it. Progress!
What have been your NSVs this week, or month? What others might you be looking forward to?5 -
My NSV was needing ankle weights to do a video (Jessica Smith legs, butt, thighs strength training). The first time I did the video, it took days for me to walk normally. I realized it was too easy when I did it today and put on some ankle weights to make it challenging! It's kind of amazing to realize my body does get stronger if I keep at it.
