We had so much fun at Chick-fil-A last night. There was a petting zoo, including a cow. I also managed to keep to all my set goals for yesterday and got in a 40 minute cardio workout on my lunch break. Yay!!!
@pridesabtch At least your fall was yummy. There is nothing worse than blowing your plan on something that isn't even good.
@jennysweet58 I have started to really like YouTube workouts by fitbymik. If she talks at all it's only the intro, then nothing but music. She also does both low and high impact options.

Everything but laundry yesterday. I can live with that!
I've managed to string together 4 out of 5 days this week in the green. That fits right into the 80/20 rule. I always want 100/0, but when I can't maintain it I slip back to 20/80. I'm learning that perfection in short term doesn't compare to progress in the long run. I've known this for a long time, but execution has been a problem. Yesterday was the first time in a long time that I just let go of the bad day and went on with my healthier lifestyle. Feels good.

@jennysweet58 - Our pool does have Aquasize, and a shallower pool. I should try that.
@pridesabtch - I just started logging again this week. I need to get into the green which may be next weeks goal.
One of my biggest issues over the last few months is I have been keeping Coke and chips in the house. I have all of it gone now and I’m going to go back to my old rule of only buying a can of I want one and one small bag of chips. These are my downfall and I know it.

Recap 6/22 R
1) Walked dog 4.14 mi
I'm not enjoying getting up early solely to beat the heat, but happy dog
2) Boxed dinner ordered & pre-logged best guess / net calories zero / 72+ oz. water a bit sad, water low again, only 56 oz. and really had to guesstimate for boxed dinner, maybe net cals -212, sodium?
3) Water rosemary plant before I forget / declutter 15 min. / boil eggs / organize for concert (can cozies, cash, chapstick, phone, bug spray, maybe golf umbrella for shade?) / GBBG concert 6:00 & only one adult beverage / ta-da list ~ so far, contacted ins. agent's office per voice mail & found out we qualified for updated homeowners plan that takes into account our (excellent) credit scores and lack of claims to save almost $250 on annual premium & better coverage = yay! Also with hubby's assist, reordered supplements that we're low on, and Kitty's prescription dry food order has been approved by vet, s/b here in a few days. Good day
4) Floss / retainers / pray / alarm for early dog walk & beat the heat
JFT 6/23 F
1) PT exercises
2) Leftovers for supper / net calories zero / 72 oz. water
3) Call Mom & Dad and arrange next visit / wash dishes / declutter 15 min. / anything else?
4) Floss / retainers / pray / alarm for farmers market
When my early alarm for dog walk went off, I just couldn't. We already have walked 15.6 miles Mon. - Thurs., and my body told me to rest. So I listened. Tomorrow, dog walk unlikely as I hit the Sat. farmers market as early as possible, then it may be too hot when I get home. Next few days, rain is forecast. I don't mind, we really need the rain, especially the farmers as we're in moderate drought conditions. We've been emptying the rain barrels to water all our planters on a regular basis.
Today we learned a second house on our one block cul de sac is for sale. Both homes are owned by people that were here when we moved in in 2004. So only two other houses haven't changed ownership since we've been here. We aren't great friends but everyone's friendly, they're good neighbors and it makes me sad. But I totally get the downsizing thing.

Didn’t have a great day yesterday, but trying to put it behind me. I think instead of looking at my calories per day, I’m going to look at it for the whole week. Maybe that will help me be a little more forgiving toward myself.3
-
Made goals for yesterday, and determined to stay strong this weekend...I want that scale to move some more! It's gonna be a rainy weekend, so there's a lot on the to do list...basically all the cleaning I've been putting off because the weather has been so gorgeous! That and making a giant photo collage of our family vacations to hang in the kitchen...we used to have all individual photos hanging but after the kitchen was re-done it looks so clean and classy, I wasn't about to clutter it all up again with a bunch of photos...but bought a really nice big custom wooden frame from Etsy and will make one big collage we'll hang. The kitchen palette is gray, white & black so the frame will be a nice way to bring in some wood tones that are in the rest of the house, plus a fun pop of color...not to mention wonderful memories. I used to be a big fan of a ton of pictures but somehow over the years every time I renovate I end up scaling back because I don't want to clutter my new creation, ha ha! Anyway, hope everyone has a great day!

5 mile walk in today .. started at 7:30. By the time I got home, I was soaking wet because of the heat. But it feels so good to start the day with a nice walk!

I can't do the ones with no sound and just the movements. But I'm easily distracted and if my brain feels bored I find it harder to do. The music stimulates my brain abd I concentrate better on what I'm doing lol!1 -

We avoid walking Biggie in the heat too. We went to Ash's parents for 5 days a couple of weeks ago. And even though we didn't walk him in the heat, we ended up not walking him at all because he managed to burn his feet on a patch of laminate flooring when the sun came in through her patio windows.
They looked bad so got Sudocren.on him and bought him some doggie socks for next day delivery to stop him licking them x2 -

No talking (hooray) just real music and visuals, very simple and clear, plus she has a lot of non-impact & knee-friendly videos...so that is my plan. Still staying strong!
JFT:
no eating till 1pm
stay within calories
100 oz water
exercise video plus yoga stretch
Haha i like the videos you don't like. The ones with music
But I do dance cardio.
I can't do the ones with no sound and just the movements. But I'm easily distracted and if my brain feels bored I find it harder to do. The music stimulates my brain abd I concentrate better on what I'm doing lol!
Oh these have music - just no chatter. But sometimes I also like no music because then I can just play my own. I'd never be able to work out without any music!! Even in the pool I wear headphones because music is so motivating!1 -
Made my goals for yesterday - the pool opened back up so we got a great workout in the morning, and even though it was supposed to rain all day it didn't at all, so we were able to hang around outside and relax...though that meant I didn't get many chores done! Down time is more important. Today I'll do food prep for the week - chopped rainbow salad for DH plus will do some oven bbq skinless chicken thighs & cumin lime slaw for dinner which will generate leftovers for the week as well. Made turkey sliders last night (so YUM) and air-fryer french fries. Worth saving my calories for!!
JFT:
don't eat until 1pm or later
stay within calories
pool or youtube workout
100 oz water
food prep
finish photo collage & hang in kitchen

Good morning - made it through the weekend staying on plan but damn I am tired today! Hopefully I can work up the energy for a workout & stretch. You know it's funny - or maybe funny isn't the right word - after I had those sliders & air fries on Saturday night, I was craving bad food/alcohol all day yesterday. Thankfully my husband helped keep me strong because if he had started pressuring me like "yeah, let's go out, you'll get right back on track tomorrow" I probably would have caved. He's done that quite a bit in the past, but yesterday he refused to let me give in, knowing how locked in I've been and how excited I am to see progress on the scale. Thank goodness! But I did find it a bit eye-opening...I've been basically following a low-carb plan and so I don't think it's an accident the day after I have white bread and potatoes I am CRAVING sugar the next day. Lesson learned...no more bread or potatoes!!
JFT:
no eating till 1pm
stay within calories
NO BREAD!
workout & stretch
100 oz of water3
