Just too much stress and I couldn't stop eating the chocolate we had from the event we went to a couple of weeks ago. It had been building, though. Oh well! Now I won't eat again until after 5pm and no more desserts today. Got that yucky feeling from too much sugar! Can still have my dose of metamusal.
Partly wanted to try all the flavors and get it out of my house. I think there could have been better ways to get rid of it then through my stomach. It did cross my mind to vomit it up, but nope, not going to do that. Moving on.
Don't be ashamed, as you said, these moments are very rare! And straight away you're back to your goals!
I'm glad you didn't vomit it up! That shows great strength and I know I don't really know you personally or all the ins and outs of what you've been through but sounds like to me you made the right choice!
Just a momentary blip.
Be proud of all you've achieved!
❤️
@more_freggies76. I agree with Bex! You’re doing so good! Just a “life happens” moment, as life tends to do. I am proud of you for making the good decision not to purge. Moving forward…. 👏💥

@more_freggies76 Ditto from me on the "really rare binge" moment, you've been doing great. Very good you didn't vomit, and love the ending to that post "moving on". Exactly!
@PackerFanInGB I am addicted to watching Olympics! Sometimes, the lesser known sports are more fun to watch than the big, hyped up events. I love that 3 U.S. male runners won medals in the mid-distance track and steeplechase events, SO fun to watch, and I'll bet a huge shock to some!
Recap 8/7 W ~ weather has been great yesterday & today
1) Walked dog 4.24 mi & dog got treat from garbage truck driver
happy dog & happy me
2) Orange roughy & cabbage for supper / log all food / NO crazy snacking ~ small bag of popcorn (benefiting the neighborhood association) at concert / 80 oz. water
a good day
3) Call Mom
short call since aunt had just arrived / update bank acct records & budget / read / watch Olympics / 7:00 city band concert at park (take food pantry bag) / other? TA-DA!
JFT 8/8 R
1) Walked dog 3.75 mi, not too warm and just a teensy humid but still I came home dripping, very happy dog & happy me
2) Figure out supper / log all food / no crazy snacking or sweets / 80 oz. water
3) Activate Petcare Rewards card / realized we're low on milk, so need to meal plan & make grocery list for tomorrow / text sister (her stepdaughter, only 9 yrs younger than she is, still hanging on) / wash dishes / read / watch Olympics / other?
About me:I'm Carmela
This is my lifestyle. It's. Not. A. Diet.
Height 5'4"

Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA
2024 Goals:1) Ultimate goal weight 150#... I'll be thrilled if I can get back down to 160# this year- Post weekly weigh-in on MFP for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I track daily on a separate app (for the visual). My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
- Take measurements & log on MFP every month end
- Try new recipes Unfortunately, no wall oven until mid-Feb or later & sad me, but try slow cooker & stove recipes... wall oven installed 2/26 but no new recipes yet.
* lentil rice sausage tortellini soup (internet) ~ very good, recipe is keeper
* glazed lemon cookies (internet search) ~ everyone loved them at Easter dinner
* rhubarb cobbler (in my first ever cookbook BH&G) ~ very good, I want to try with other fruits this summer
* yellow cake (BH&G cookbook) ~ I followed instructions closely & blended well, very good with rhubarb sauce
* white chicken enchiladas (newspaper) ~ very good, although 2 tortillas with recipe as written 846 calories (created in MFP recipes)
* Greek yogurt almond butter breakfast parfait (newsletter) ~ terrific, if high in calories... maybe tweak
* garlic scape basil pesto (internet blog) ~ excellent! tried as recommended with pasta (used up my radiatore)
* summer squash, zucchini, mushroom casserole (TOH) ~ excellent! & good way to use squash & zucchini
* zucchini meatloaf (sister) ~ good but hubby prefers classic recipe

Yesterday ended up being rather stressful. Mom texted me and told me to call her, but her phone isn't working so I left work early and drove over. One she had questions about her phone. I ended up bringing it home and spent 2 hours online with Verizon today. Unfortunately, she needs a new phone. Fortunately, I had a protection plan on it so the new phone is free. Unfortunately, number 2, she freaks out when she gets a new phone. It should be here tomorrow and I will set it up for her before I give it too her. I have most of her apps linked to my email which makes it easier to do than last time. Last time, we were counting on her to know passwords. That did not go well.
The other thing she needed to talk to me about was her car. She said it didn't run right. I took it for a drive with her in it. It runs fine. She described her issues which all had to do with shifting (it's an automatic so just P, R, N & D). She was trying to drive with it in Park and Neutral. She was so confused and didn't know what any of the letters meant. I ended up taking her keys and telling her she couldn't drive any more. That was tough. I'll go over today and go get her cat food and things to try and ease her into not being able to get around. I may look into a home helper to drive her places twice a week, but last time I looked that was quite pricey. That and she isn't very nice so I'm guessing it would be hard to keep someone. For now its on me, which will be fine, but is not exactly ideal.
Other than the things with mom, the day was pretty ok. Today is my father-in-laws birthday. Depending on how long I spend with mom I may make it over for cake and ice cream. Honestly, I'd rather just go home and cry. I know I am very blessed, but this stuff with mom is very tricky.

@PackerFanInGB I'm glad your maintenance treatment is going well. I haven't been watching the Olympics, seems like it's been a whole summer of sport.
@pridesabtch I feel for you trying to help your Mum. Telling a parent they can't drive any more is a difficult thing to do. How did she take it? Both my parents had to stop driving, but I never had to push it. It just slowly became the accepted thing, but even when dad couldn't walk downstairs any more he didn't agree to selling his car.littleblackskirt wrote: »

@PackerFanInGB I lead a Creative Writing group, so write in lots of different genre, but my favourite is poetry. Here’s one of my favourites
Words
(20/3/2022)
I wake up in the wee small hours
disturbed by creativity’s powers
Insistent thought, my sleep devours
My muse goes into overdrive
mischievous, she will contrive
my peaceful rest to rudely shrive
Words scampering through my mind,
resistant to being caught or confined,
and by my creative will defined
I herd, cajole, and separate,
until they’re in a settled state
subdued, the chaos will abate
illusive, flighty, running wild,
now, organised, and neatly filed,
by intellect they have been styled.
tension banished, I breath a sigh
Relaxed again, abed I lie
Sleep returns by and by

No snacking ✅
PF exercises ✅
General exercises ❌
Walk ✅
Had to estimate my evening calories as family suggested a chinese takeaway. I agreed as it meant I would meet with them and get caught up on their news/start planning their moving in with me. I estimated high and was surprised I was still in the green.
Tonight is another family get together, so will be estimating again. There will be birthday cake
My goal for today is
Don't overdo it, small portions only!
Still log the rest of the day
Clear the garden shed out
Have a good one everyone!

Lately, I've been recalling how I managed to lose 50# years ago. (Of course, I've gained the majority back over the years, but not all LOL.) I remembered that I allowed only certain foods for snacks and planned my meals, and did not let myself deviate, knowing it was only temporary. Plus I really stuck to portion control. I'm starting to get back into that mindset, and I think I'm seeing the early results of that. Time will tell.
About me:I'm Carmela
This is my lifestyle. It's. Not. A. Diet.
Height 5'4"
66 yrs old
Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA
2024 Goals:1) Ultimate goal weight 150#... I'll be thrilled if I can get back down to 160# this year- Post weekly weigh-in on MFP for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I track daily on a separate app (for the visual). My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
- Take measurements & log on MFP every month end
- Try new recipes Unfortunately, no wall oven until mid-Feb or later & sad me, but try slow cooker & stove recipes... wall oven installed 2/26. Ppl
* lentil rice sausage tortellini soup (internet) ~ very good, recipe is keeper
* glazed lemon cookies (internet search) ~ everyone loved them at Easter dinner
* rhubarb cobbler (in my first ever cookbook BH&G) ~ very good, I want to try with other fruits this summer
* yellow cake (BH&G cookbook) ~ I followed instructions closely & blended well, very good with rhubarb sauce
* white chicken enchiladas (newspaper) ~ very good, although 2 tortillas with recipe as written 846 calories (created in MFP recipes)
* Greek yogurt almond butter breakfast parfait (newsletter) ~ terrific, if high in calories... maybe tweak
* garlic scape basil pesto (internet blog) ~ excellent! tried as recommended with pasta (used up my radiatore)
* summer squash, zucchini, mushroom casserole (TOH) ~ excellent! & good way to use squash & zucchini
* zucchini meatloaf (sister) ~ good but hubby prefers classic recipe

@PackerFanInGB I lead a Creative Writing group, so write in lots of different genre, but my favourite is poetry. Here’s one of my favourites
Words
(20/3/2022)
I wake up in the wee small hours
disturbed by creativity’s powers
Insistent thought, my sleep devours
My muse goes into overdrive
mischievous, she will contrive
my peaceful rest to rudely shrive
Words scampering through my mind,
resistant to being caught or confined,
and by my creative will defined
I herd, cajole, and separate,
until they’re in a settled state
subdued, the chaos will abate
illusive, flighty, running wild,
now, organised, and neatly filed,
by intellect they have been styled.
tension banished, I breath a sigh
Relaxed again, abed I lie
Sleep returns by and by
(C) 2022 - Terri Richardson

I love it! I can see how you lead a Creative Writing group! Very nice, Terri! 👏👏👏❤️2 -

Happy Sunday! Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. :flowerforyou: I know it's late, but I typed this out earlier, got distracted and did a bunch of housework and just now saw I never posted it! Oy!
Yesterday was one of our grandson's birthday party. He invited friends over for pizza, cake and swimming and then wouldn't you know it...the weather wasn't nice for swimming. It was on the cooler side and their pool doesn't have a heater. They still all had a fun time playing, but I felt bad for them because they were all looking forward to it. It was a nice time though. Lots of laughter.
Friday we took a ride up north to the hunting lot. DH cut the grass in the clearing and picked up some branches, and I walked our dog.
Have a great day!
