Well tomorrow is my aunt's birthday and we are going over for cake at 2:00. So that will be very difficult to fit into 1100 calories. I will make an effort, because I will have exercise calories to spend as well. But I also don't want to binge sugar on an empty stomach then crash while I'm horseback riding. So no promises for Thursday. Except that I will do 30 reps of my dumbbell routine.

I have been eating way over any calorie goal for a few months now. I don’t know why I’m struggling, but at least I’m logging regularly and when I start getting the goals I have met consistently I’ll start limiting the calories as well.
I find I lose better when I eat a little more than 1200 calories a day. I have never lost much of its 1200 or lower, when I was being consistent and lost so well, I ate my exercise calories back.
@pridesabtch - I hated math. I find it sort of fun now, but just the basics used in accounting.

Had my final PT (physical therapy) appt. this morning. Jessica is very pleased with my progress, says she can see I've been working at the exercises, and my form still good. This will be something I will be doing at least 3-4 days per week for the rest of my life, I think. Even though I was an avid walker prior to my overuse injury on top of arthritis, it became clear to me there's lots of muscles I was not really using much. I can tell the difference with my leg strength, balance, ease of mobility and less knee pain over time. Yay!
May Exercise Challenge:
Goal 1: PT exercises 4-5 days per week

Happy Wednesday y'all!
Well, I'm not losing weight, but I am logging and staying around maintenance. I'll take that for now. Its the week leading up to prom so we've been doing prom stuff. Tuesday was hair. Wednesday was dress pick up and mom redoing her hair she didn't like. I am no beautician, but I can mix chemicals and use a timer. She does like it better now. Tonight she gets her nails done. Tomorrow is a chill day, the Saturday is prom! I'm excited to see her all dressed up.
As for me it's Thursday, but this morning it seemed like a Monday. V forgot something at home that she needed for school, which meant I was going to be late for work. I got her stuff then realized I forgot my badge and at home. Went home left, then realized I hadn't taken my meds, so back home again. It was 9:00 by the time I made it to work this morning... Other than that it is work, mom's bills, Spin class and date night. Looking forward to date night.

Another late post. I usually set the post up the night before and then make final changes and add comments in the mornings, but it's been a hectic week. This afternoon is too pretty to spend indoors doing laundry, so I'll work in the garden instead. We've got a string of rainy days ahead, so I want to enjoy the sun today.

I did pretty well for a day with no promises. I had my cake, but I have ten calories left because of my dumbbell routine, which I will do soon. So I ate back all but ten of my exercise calories. I'm still avoiding veggies so I need to fix that, but all in all a good day.
So for Friday:
1. Walk 20 mins
2. Eat under calorie limit
3. no cookies
4. Eat veggies
5. Work on list

I ran out of steam in the afternoon yesterday, just didn't want to do anything. I'm soooo tired of feeling cold, it's May fgs, it should be warming up by now! I need to get a grip or I'll ruin all the progress I made in April.
I'm meeting a friend at a garden centre today, but don't think I'll buy anything, it's still too cold to put plants out. I haven't got my usual interest in my garden this year, right now it's a chore not a pleasure.
Heavy rain today, so probably won't walk. Also don't want to push my back too far on a Friday, need it to cope with Saturday!

Good day yesterday. Food choices were iffy, but the overall was okay. Date night was fun we won at trivia. The nice thing about trivia is that we can go, hang out and play and still be home before 10:00. Works well for me.
Today I'm going to go down and pay mom's property taxes. I totally don't understand the bill they sent, so rather than mess it up, I'm just going to go ask... After that I need to pick up the boutonniere for prom tomorrow.

I had some gastrointestinal issues after supper last night... something didn't agree with me. Then to settle/fill my tummy I ate popcorn and peanut butter. Not sure why I thought that was a good idea. Little while later, took Immodium and went to bed. Feeling better now.

It's working! Down from last week 175.1 to this week 172.7! Yay!3
-
@littleblackskirt - I hear you! It's cold and wet here today as well, and I'm so far behind in the garden. I just want to curl up under a blanket with a hot drink and something sweet.
@cschmitz110515 - Hooray for you getting to the end of your physical therapy! Hope it's smooth going ahead,
@TerriRichardson112 - I'm blown away by your Daily Done lists! Noting accomplishments is such a refreshing perspective
@pridesabtch - Glad to hear that you've got some clarity on your job. Hope your daughter has a wonderful time at prom and that you're enjoying all the shared preparation.
Well folks, I made it to Friday (yay!) and almost to the end of a loong Spring semester. Spring classes wrap up next Tuesday, and then I'll have a few days to get my grades in and reset before my summer classes start. It's going to be a rainy weekend, so hopefully I can resist my urge to slack off and get some indoor chores done.
On the upside, I'm only about a pound and a half away from my midyear weight goal. I have a hard time resisting snacks if my baseline calorie allowance gets too low (under 1400 for me), so I've adjusted my MFP calorie limit to ease into a slower half-pound-a-week weight loss goal. That will allow me to get what I need and still have flexibility. We'll see how it goes.
Recap - Thursday 5/5
Log -
Balanced meals - Low protein
Hydrate -
Exercise - Managed to squeeze in a 35-minute walk between class and the eye doc.
Eye doctor - Apparently, I'm getting less nearsighted but have more trouble with close work 
Gardening - Not as much as I'd hoped, but I did get the deck boxes planted.
Grading - Caught up with the minor assignments. Now to deal with the mountain of final essays

I met my friend because I didn't want to let her down. But after I got home I didn't do anything at all, just sat about doing nothing. I'm cold, I'm sore, and I'm sad. Don't worry, I'll push myself through it, I'm cleaning tomorrow, don't want to but I know the activity will be good for me.

I'm 22 calories over because I put goat cheese on my salad. But the day is not over yet. I have time to walk this off.1
