    Gorgeous day. Walked 2.3 miles.
    i read books instead of watching TV. Now that you present it as a way to make exercise bearable, i will give it a whirl. I do love a good mystery.

    When I read how much you exercise, I am convicted by my own sluggy lifestyle. I must try to reform!

    Go Cat! You deal with food much better than I do.

    It was a gorgeous day here as well. I was able to hike a local trail with a friend, and it felt great to be in the woods.

    Today was a big food failure day. 6 year old grandgirl had a birthday party at our house with all the family. She wanted hotdogs with homemade rolls and chocolate cupcakes. I also ate potato chips and dip plus ice cream. Absolutely no control whatsoever!

    I did get exercise because I took all the kids to the playground after lunch. Whew! I am exhausted, but it was a happy day.

    No change from last week.🤷‍♀️

    Michelle May says we don't want to be in control of our eating. We want to be in charge. You had a special day and you chose to eat things you probably wouldn't eat on an ordinary day. You had an amazing day with family, and you were happy. I would have done the same.

    up a pound and a half.

    I need to be in charge! I also wasn’t in charge last night at a church dinner.

    Kicking myself this morning

    Don't kick yourself!

    Exercise went well yesterday. Today, I'm going to start tracking again. Have a good day, Cat.

    made a doc appointment for Monday. Why am I so tired and worthless? Time to stop whining about it and seek some answers.


    randi, I also need to be diligent anout tracking. Goingto try harder.

    Strike that word "worthless" out of your post! I'm glad you have a doctor' appointment scheduled to get to the root cause of your tiredness.

    Day 1 of tracking went fine. I even stayed within my calorie limit. Exercise was not as good. I couldn't walk early because I had a breast ultrasound scheduled. (It was fine.😊) I was tired from not having slept the night before. My sacroiliac joints seem to shift a bit and when that happens, I get pain in that area, but it also catches a nerve and sends pain down my leg. I did a few yoga stretches, but didn't want to challenge myself with weights.

    Good luck today.

    easy not to eat today. Got a dental crown and I will be numb for hours.

    Randi, you are so faithful to exercise and flexibility. Can not believe you still tried stretches in spite of your pain!

    After 3 nights of almost no sleep, I did catch some zzzs last night, so I am feeling better today. Lack of sleep interferes with my willpower, but I did stick to tracking and have been okay calorie-wise. Exercise has been kaput, but I think I can ease back into it today.

    We can do this, Cat!

    no sleep is a factor in not lising weight, Randi. I read an article about that a while back. I think it mat have been a link from this site. I hope you get into a regular healthy sleep pattern soon. Have you tried magnesium glycinate at bedtime?
