Beachwalker99 yay! For the mid year weight goal! That's great. Congratulations!
Snowflake1968 good luck on those jobs!
I'm plugging along. Really enjoying my dried apricots. Wondering if there is a way to get dark chocolate and veggies both into my diet. Might have to wait until I hit goal weight and have more calories to play with.

So I'm trying really hard today.
I'm cutting carbs (like pasta/potato/bread/rice) sugar (as much as I can) and dairy. (Apart from the occasional bit of cheese because who can give that up?😂)
So foods I'm aiming to eat is meats, vegetables, nuts and healthy fats.
And any condiments like mayo/ketchup/salad dressings Im having in small amounts.
Im and 'all or nothing' kind of person so I can't just reduce the intake. Because if I have a little I'll convince myself "a little more" won't do any harm.
So far today I've had a boiled egg salad. With a tiny bit of garlic and herb dressing.
And I've switched my milk to almond milk (unsweetened) and no sugar. We don't actually have any sugar in at the minute which helped lol
I really need to get tough on myself. Losing weight is something I really want but to get there I need to put in the work.
So I'm also retraining myself to say "No" to stuff. Just been shop and got Ash some chocolate and milkshake. Didn't get myself any and told Ash I'm not having any either and explained I'm trying again. So he knows not to like offer.
I'm gonna make it work where I can anyway and try my best. Dinner might be difficult but I've got lots of veg on hand to tailor it to me aswell as everyone else.2 -
Happy Thursday! Hopping on quick to post some goals. Hope you are all well. Husband is recovering from eye surgery. He had complications from cataract surgery and I'm hoping this fixes his sight!
It's a beautiful day here today. Can't take the boat out or anything until Tim recovers from surgery but I might take a ride out to the lake just for a walk on the beach.
Just for Thursday:- NoBS 24H Plan and 24H Assessment
- Drink 64 oz spa water by 6pm - Fill water pitcher with water, lemon/lime slices.
- Eat only when hungry. No boredom or emotional eating. Find something else to do.
- Eat slowly, putting down fork/food between bites. Stop at enough. No overeating because it tastes good.
- Close Activity Rings on watch.
- Home Care: Declutter according to Evernote plan. Do tasks on To-Do list.
- Stop at mom's and say hi
- Hair appointment at 3pm
- Walk or bicycle ride early evening.
- Evening routine: Brush/floss. Wash/lotion. Readings. Gratitude Journal. Prayer Journal. Set alarm for morning. Lights out on time.
WOTY: Intentional. I will make intentional choices to make next best decisions so I can reach my goal by my 63rd birthday.
June's Small Healthy Habit: Drinking 64 oz of water daily
After I finish my morning coffee, I will fill my glass pitcher with fresh water and lemon/lime slices and pour a glass.

1. No candy, cookies or cake yes
2. Eat under calorie limit yes by 333
3. Horseback riding yes

Another good day. I just need a few thousand more! Well, really about 180 more, and I might hit goal weight by Christmas. Plus maybe twenty days for plateaus and celebrations and such. Anyway, today is a good day so far.
JFT Friday
1. No candy, cookies, or cake.
2. Eat under calorie limit
3. Yoga
4. Fast marching
Tomorrow my cousin arrives for the weekend. I have a chicken to roast, and then muffins for the morning. But I have no idea how many meals he will eat with us. So I must be flexible.

Updating my challenge numbers. Trying to decide if I should go home today or tomorrow, there are a few small issues with both days. I feel like I've lost the ability to make a decision!
Walking Challenge - 150 minutes per week
Week 1 270/150
Week 2 87/150
Limit Snacking Challenge ( 1050 calories per week)
Week 1 1294/1050
Week 2 340/1050

If I'd made goals yesterday, I would have missed them all. Hubby made tacos for dinner and he made me queso. He makes the best queso, but it is crazy high in calories, especially when paired with chips... Usually I can manage it with exercise, but yesterday I just took a nap and vegged. That makes 2 days where I just really didn't do what I know I should do. It's like I just don't want to lose weight, but I really do and I know how. I just can't seem to string more than a few days together.
Today I'll make some goals maybe that will help.
JFT Friday
- work by 8:00
8:05 pretty close
- meetings
- home at lunch to get some paperwork signed by V for her camp
- Scan paperwork and email it back to the director (it was due 6/1/22)
- Log food
- Stay Green
- Exercise - ride bike it's nice out
- Maybe leave work early - I really have very little to do today at work
- No nap after work
- Go to mom's to sort bills
- Bed by 11:30 (more like 9:00 or 10:00 these days, but it is the weekend)
Happy Friday y'all!0 -
Hour commitment - still out of town, but we’re going back today. Ate breakfast, which I don’t usually do, for convenience. After I finish my coffee, I won’t eat again until after 5 pm.0

Well today was a bad diet day. I got into the cookies that I bought for my guest and had four. So that, and the extra chicken, really blew my calorie limit. And I haven't had the muffin I want yet. And I forgot all about my salad. At least my exercise was good.
It was a stressful day for me. My 94 year old uncle is in the hospital getting a pacemaker. And my mom who made the arrangements with my guest, had forgotten all the details, like are we serving him dinner and what time is he coming. I guessed he would arrive at four, and that was a lucky guess. I roasted a chicken for dinner but he didn't stay. It all worked out except that I ate too much. My uncle is out of surgery and doing well.
JFT Saturday
1. No cookies, candy, or cake
2. Figure muffin into calorie limit
3. Dumbbells 40 reps
4. Maybe extra exercise to balance muffin

Happy Friday y'all!
I made all smiles, but it’s currently 4:15am and I’ve been awake since 2:30. Also woke up at 1:45, but was able to go back to sleep until 2:30. Oh well, might as well check in.
Sierra odd running a 5k this morning. I’m going to go watch, unless I decide to walk it, which I may. Depends on how tired I am, and if she is in a hurry to get back. Her call. Then if it’s nice, I’ll find time to ride my 🚴 even if it’s a slow ride. Other than that I guess I’ll do some house work maybe 🧺 definitely 🧹.

- Leave house at 7:00
- 5k watch or walk
- Come home & nap
- Bike ride
- Clean

Still can’t give my watch away. It’s a $350 watch and works great. Feel bad just giving it to Goodwill. I know, I’ll check with HS track coaches and see if there is a kid who could benefit from having a GPS watch…1 -
Drove home last night, taking a different route to usual. Snacked a little, but then didn't have anything in for evening meal so don't feel bad about it. I think this will be quite a disruptive weekend (I was up for a whole 5 minutes before grandson and dog arrived!) so just going to relax and get focussed again on Monday. Need to go shopping for fruit and veg.

Didn't post goals yesterday, but I had a lovely day with my sister. And I met most of my regular goals anyway, including staying under my calorie limit with balanced meals and only one pignoli cookie as a snack. Tonight's plan is to have dinner on the boardwalk, so I'll have to make careful choices. Maybe I can sneak in a walk too.
Thank you friends for your kind words and encouragement. I hope you all have a lovely weekend!1 -

Another bad diet day. Too many cookies! I had it all planned out so I could eat my muffin and then I ate too many cookies on top of the muffin. Oh well. Next time I will buy some wierd snack that I won't eat. Welcome, have some haggis!
I'm cooking a meatloaf for my Aunt. Hope it comes out okay. I used a lot of tomato paste instead of the tomato juice or sauce. My uncle is doing really well after his pacemaker surgery.

Hour commitment - Hubby wants to take me tonight for my birthday dinner. We usually go to the French restaurant. (I didn't plan ahead for this at all!!!) Well, I'll just go and enjoy the food and a dessert and a drink. (so my JFT goals will be a little out of whack today.) But today is better than Wednesday. At least their portions aren't humongous. Life happens sometimes!2

Well it was a runaway cookies day. Two in a row. Totally blew my calorie limit. I have no excuse.
I made it through my dumbbells slowly and with much groaning and whining. Apparently sugar is not great fuel for exercise.
Well the cookies are gone so tomorrow has to be better!

We’ll I did the 5k walk while Sierra ran. Totally haven’t been walking at all, but still managed a good time (for me). I finished in 47 min which gives me a 15:15/mile average. My goal was under 16 so I was pretty happy. I also took 1st in my age group for walkers. Sierra was 2nd overall female so it was a good showing for the Mackey’s. The weirdest part was the finish, people are cheering and encouraging you so you really want to sprint that last bit, but you can’t cause you gotta walk.
After the race we came home to a home cooked breakfast. It was lovely. I was fat and happy and took a nice nap. When I got up Tim was driving me nuts so even though I was tired I decided to go for a bike ride. Nothing hard maybe 10-15 miles. Well I ended up doing 20 and I was not filled for it. I paid for that later, but I’m feeling much better this morning.

I threw out the last two muffins after eating 1.5 this morning. They taste good but my diet can't handle the calories. Today will be the third blowout day, then tomorrow it's back on the program and hopefully by Friday I can minimize the damage. I might have a yogurt for dinner yet. And I still want to walk at least a little bit but there's vacuuming to do as well.

It's 7pm already, so just updating my challenges. I didn't walk today (I have a large bruise on my knee and it hurts to walk) but I did do an hours gardening in between the showers. I did snack a bit through the day but didn't have a meal so calling it evens. I've added in the 92 cal biscuit I had tonight. I feel like I deserve a treat, grandson has been here all day and my head hurts, he is hard work sometimes!
