HOW WAS YOUR DAY???? A DAILY CHECK IN
Replies
-
I'm still struggling with the eating and went over my calorie goal. For exercise, I did an hour of aerobics, had an hour-long yoga class, did lower body strength training, and some jogging in place because it's raining. If I didn't exercise, I'd be as big as a house!
I hope you had another good day.1 -
Went over my calorie goal. Ate stuff that is bad for me. Feel crappy. I am a slow learner, 😂. I think I do this at least once a week.
Managed a bit of time on the elliptical but sat in my chair like a slug most of the afternoon.
Tomorrow is another day….0 -
Today I did not even track what I ate. Sometimes I just don't feel like it. Why do we eat crappy stuff when we know we're not going to feel good later? Exercise was good - jogging outdoors, yoga, and upper body work. Hope your day went well.1

Attended my husband’s sister’s funeral today, a 3 hour drive from our home. No tracking done. No exercise.
Try again tomorrow0 -
My condolences, Cat.

Thank you.
I rode the bike today. Yay!
I have already almost hit 1000 calories and its not even 2:00. Ick!
Hope I can rein it in. Or find the energy for more exercise1 -
If you rode your bike, you must have had better weather than we did. All in all, in spite of the rain, it was a good day eating-wise and exercise-wise.0

Yesterday was perfect. Seventy degrees nice breeze. Today i woke to thunder, lightning and rain. This will have to be an elliptical machine day. My husband’s day to cook and he is making a beef brisket with root vegetables, one of my all time favorites. It will be a struggle with limiting my calories. Maybe I will try to get in extra exercise.0

I am going to post challenges for myself here in an effort to make myself stick to it. New goal is 5 pounds by NewYears. Last Monday I was 156.6
So 151.6 by Jan first
I am typically a slow loser, so this is going to take some effort.1 -
That sounds like a reasonable goal. I think I'll make it mine as well.0

Today was a good day! We spent the morning hiking, then went out for Thai food for lunch. We didn't get back until late afternoon. Since I wasn't at home, I wasn't overeating!

Babysat 13 hours today.
No tracking anything.1 -
Babysat again today. Just got home. I have only eaten 750 calories, but I am not hungry. I’m beyond tired ( my granny would have said whupped ) and I just want to go to bed. What do you do in this situation?0
-
Good day. Let's hope this is the beginning of a trend.

Same as last weigh-in. I'm happy, though, because my weight had soared even higher after my last weight check. Good luck, Cat.0

155.4 today
So down 1.2 from last Monday
First week of serious dieting is always losing water weight. Now the real work begins and slow loss starts. I am happy if I can drop a half pound a week.
The turtle won that race with the rabbit,
you know 😂
Good job Randi. No gain is always a victory in my book.1 -
Good job, Cat! Today was another good day. I still have some exercise to finish up, but eating was under control. Slow weight loss is still weight loss. I'll take it!1
-
Had to take a day off. Met a friend at Cracker Barrel for breakfast. She is having knee replacement surgery tomorrow so this was her last hurrah for a while. I ate froed chicken and biscuits and gravy. BAD BAD CAT!!!!
I do intend to exercise. As soon as the gravy wears off 😂
I will totally repent tomorrow.0 -
Meeting with friends is essential. You'll be back at it tomorrow. I stopped tracking today, so calories are probably over my goal. Tomorrow is a new day.1
-
Offset Cracky Barrel with exercise. Still over calories, but not so bad.
Tomorrow is another day for sure. Going to see my sister in WV, so may not get to exercise. Sometimes life just gets in the way.0 -

Hi! I'm Susan, 70, retired teacher, 5'3" and started November 8 at 186. I'm married, with one son, living just outside of Philadelphia. My husband and I down-sized 6 months ago, from a 140-year-old handmade house to a high-rise condo. Twelve years ago we both had bariatric surgery, which worked well for me and not at all for my husband. His weight and mobility drove the down-sizing. Between Covid, housing research, financials, moving and letting go of a home and town I loved I gained 36 pounds. I've used a Fitbit for years but added MFP and FitDays for an electronic scale. I just learned how to use an air fryer and love it! My downfall is wine, which I've spent months excising from my diet. My goal is to weigh daily, keep to 1200 healthy calories and 5,000 steps a day (low bar--it was 10,000 before the move) and lose 6 pounds a month till I get back to my ideal weight of 150. This is my first full week. I'll probably post weekly:
Nov. 8: 184
Nov. 14: 181
Nov. 21:
Nov. 28:
Hi Susan. You did just fine posting here. If you would like to participate in this group, great! We welcome you. We do all of our posting in the Discussion thread called: HOW WAS YOUR DAY???? A DAILY CHECK IN. When you want to check in, simply click on that discussion and add your words in the Leave a Comment box. I have copied your introductory post into that discussion thread.
Right now, Cat and I (Randi) are active here. We're checking in daily and weighing in on Mondays.1 -
Cat, I can't believe you pulled it off yesterday. Good for you staying within your calorie goal in spite of the trip to Cracker Barrel. Today was good for me. I ate well and got in plenty of exercise.0
-
Welcome Susan. Nice to have you join us. I am Cat, 70 years old and slowly recovering from knee replacement. My goal is to lose 20 pounds and I dont care how long it takes as long as I am losing and not packing it back on.
I visited my sister in WV today. No tracking but ate decently. No exercise unless you count a short walk in the cemetery to dress our parents graves for Thanksgiving. Lots us driving and too tired to exercise when I got home.
Tomorrow I babysit the two youngest grands, a four year old and a six month old baby. My whole day will be exercise 😂 and sometimes I don’t get time to eat. Their mom is a nurse at the hospital, so she works 12 hour shifts. Whew!
Good job Randi! I wish I was as faithful with exercise as you.0 -
Today was so-so. Over on calories, but exercise was fine. I find that I love my exercise. I wish I could get a good grip on the food part of this. Hope you enjoyed your day with the grands.1
-
Great day with the grands except for the usual 5:00 meltdown by the 4 year old. This time I made a video and showed it to her when she had calmed down. She was horrified 😂
I am so tired, I don’t even remember what I ate. Lots of walking around lugging a chubby baby, so exercise was covered.
Tomorrow is a day at home so I will be able to do everything right for a change.0 -
Met calorie limits toda but no exercise. Youngest son has a job interview Monday and has to start driving out on Sunday. His wedding suit from five years ago was about 30 pounds ago, so I spent the day taking it apart and letting it out as much as possible. Will find out if it fits tomorrow, but it was a long shot. I have a feeling i will be watching his kids while he goes suit shopping. Then I will have pants to hem.
Managed to catch up on laundry and cleaning and make a nice lunch. This was a good day, even if I didnt exercise. I think I had forgotten how much I love to sew.0 -
Yesterday went well until we went out for dinner. I was not going to have any alcohol, but the restaurant had my favorite beer, a locally brewed IPA, on tap. They also had fresh, warm rolls served with a spicy flavored oil. I had a beer and a roll, but I did bring half of my dinner home. Exercise went well.
I have lost my love for sewing. I keep reminding myself that I need to finish the throw pillows for the living room, but I always manage to find something else to do. 0 -
Bad day for eating. I don't know what is wrong with me.! Hope your day was better.0
-
Nope. Four year old wanted hot dogs and pizza. I was a bad cat0
-
My day was much better than yesterday. Whew! Hope your day was better, too.
