What I did right:
Stayed under my cals goal for the day.
FOUND my HRM and organized myself so after I drop off hubby at the bus stop tomorrow I can go home and do some real exercising which I haven't done since I came down with the crude everyone around me is getting too. I still have a cough, but it is so much better.
Looked at my last couple of months and faced the truth, I pretty much have stayed the same no progress. Yes I avoided packing on 10 lbs or so but I made no progress. Part of that was being sick but some of it was just not eating as good as I could have.0 -
Yesterday, I logged everything I ate. I did my upper body exercises for about 35 - 45 minutes. I stuck to my plan and my allotted calories. I ate healthy foods. After dinner, I had only my allotted snacks, and didn't overeat (a big challenge for me is night time eating). So, I did well yesterday.
Today has just started, but so far, I've had a healthy breakfast and logged it. Going to physical therapy in a little while.0 -
What I did right:
Logged everything, as usual. I am getting very good at this, I had a couple of days where I didn't and I don't like the feeling that gave me.
Exercised for just over an hour, burned over 500 cals. and I did not cough nor have difficulty breathing. A sign the crude is subsiding finally.
Learning about using foam rollers for releasing stress in muscles. Hubby did a session and it helped him so much he bought a roller and had a private session with a trainer who uses them. Very interesting stuff.0 -
:happy: How did I miss this thread until now! I love it! I stayed home from work today to take care of myself. Feeling cruddy with the irrational weather changes that always affect my sinuses. I called my daughter to wish her a Happy Birthday, and I stayed under my calorie goal after a stressful week of going over most days.0

What I did right yesterday:
Shared dinner with husband, too many carbs for just me.
Made it home in one piece, I had some doubts about that. At one point I just wanted to close my eyes, not a good idea on a busy highway. Driving to work is so stressful to me and driving back home after commuting in and working 12.5 hrs. is not very stress relieving either.
What I did right today:
Logged in early for encouragement and inspiration.
Catching up on logging from yesterday, I was too busy to log my food, but I can fix that!
Dug out some old DVDs so I can mix up my indoor aerobics workouts. More motivating after being indoors doing the same old same old.0 -
What I did right yesterday:
Had all three meals at home, our normal routine is out to breakfast and lunch on Sats. But instead we had breaksfast at home and it was such a lovely day decided to picnic for lunch and at dinner realized me had two already grilled up bison burgers, just waiting to be eaten, so I make some potato salad and we had dinner at home too. This is big for us we like eating out on the weekends and to eat all 3 meals at home is a big change.
Walked with hubby by the lake when we did the picnic that is a bit over a mile around.
Went back to TDEE so will not be eating back any exercise cals. so my newsfeed is going to be showing 1 cal for exercise, I need to log it to do it I just don't want to eat back cals. I haven't lost since early Dec. and think going back to TDEE-20% will do it for me, I had good results from it in the past.
Finally got all the Christmas decorations down and put away with help from DH.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.0 -
Had a day off work and was feeling great! Got some retirement information reviewed and prepped menus and meals for the next week! even used up the last of my ricotta to make zeppoles (Italian doughnuts!) and only ate one. The rest are frozen and will go to my parents group on Wednesday! Good for me! :bigsmile:0

I am finally off work for a few days too. I am also reading retirement information. Lots changed with the turn of the new year. Good thing I am catching up.
Those donuts sound awesome. Please do not share the recipe, I'd rather just imagine them :bigsmile:
What I did right:
Did not stuff my face when I got stressed out yesterday at work, always a victory.
Shared the margarita I foolishly ordered, hubby insisted on saving me from myself and drank half of it thank goodness!! And I have the second half of the meal I had in the fridge for lunch later today. Portion size is very critical to hitting the cals targets and the macros too. I think it is sinking into my thick head finally.
Today is my 200th day of logging in. I have learned to log my food and exercise, yea ME. Gave thanks for MFPals and tracking.
Realized I am on a plateau and need to find a way to get off of it but I feel so much better, look so much better, and am so much happier than when I joined MFP in July, I am finding motivation slightly challenging. But I have more hope of success this time.0 -
I came back......:bigsmile: ........
.....again! :ohwell:
And I just stood up and sat down and stood up and sat down....40 times! :bigsmile:

What i did right (SAT)
A whole lot of heavy snow shoveling!!
Kept within my cals goal.
Found some good info on Paleo Diet, I will be looking into that more closely as I get to the point where I have less to lose, I think it might be a good maintenance plan.0 -
What I did right on Wednesday:
Started logging everything again. I was slipping, even missed one day and had to do a best guess. Not a good thing. So back to carrying my iphone everywhere. I just have to have that accountability I guess.
Listened to motivational CD
What I have done right so far today:
logged my breakfast
Got the trash out on time, it is so cold, I just wasn't willing to get outside, but finally had a BIDIA moment and got it out there before the truck came by.
Now I am off to catch up on some chores I have been avoiding. This weather only makes me want to eat, I hope we come out of the freezer soon.0 -
I was in persistent Atrial Fibrillation for two years and did a lot of damage to my heart. After a lot of medication and four cardioversions, I went back into normal sinus rhythm and today marks the fifth month that the old heart is working properly. Some of the damage to my heart is being reversed.0

That's wonderful Chuck....... I am doing a four and a half mile run tomorrow for the British Heart Foundation Charity...I lost my daughter to congenital heart disease 18 years ago....
Well done!

I made myself get out of my pity party and go for a walk. did me a world of good!0

What I did right yesterday--I finally got up and played some hammered dulcimer and piano; now I know I'm on the mend!0

Jean so sorry to learn about your daughter.
Cody, how wonderful that your taking your life in your own hands and reversing the damage done previously :drinker:
What I did right yesterday:
Finally put the HRM on and did aerobics, I have not done much but stay wrapped in a blanket eating carbs for the last few days due to all the sub zero temps and snow. Only exercise had been snow shoveling for days.
Listened to subliminal cd to fall asleep, I do better the next day when I do that. Had stopped doing it. Why? I have no idea. I know it helps me stay motivated and on the right track.
What I did right today:
Cut out the high carb eating!
Gone grocery shopping to stock up on the good stuff again, was low when the snow came and now I can restock with My Foods again.
Got in another round of exercise.0 -
Tuesday ........ I tidied up the patio plants. Took some waterlogged plants in pots and rescued them into the greenhouse. Then got out some pots of bulbs which are now sprouting nicely...they too are now in the greenhouse ... it's early yet and we could have snow but I feel I have made a start on Spring .... always enjoy starting work in the greenhouse....... :flowerforyou:

I joined this group, for starters!
Then, I did a 45mt aerobics session at home, following Leslie Sansone's Four Fast Miles dvd.
Then, taking advantage of a short break in the rain, I walked outside quite quickly for 1.45 miles.
I was below my calorie limit, just.
I had a glass of Californian red wine with my supper, lovely
Had a mug of Horlicks a few minutes ago.
Now going to sleep as its 00h07 here in England.
Zzzzzzzzz.0 -

-
See we do not need food Valentines gifts...that is true love for sure.0
-
Energetic and enthusiastic cause I am not sure Spring is coming anyones way very soon...weather even in Florida is cool.0
-
What I did right today:
Made it through the day without yelling at anyone even though I had every right to:grumble:
Only consumed two squares of chocolate when I really, really wanted to whole bar.
Came on here to relax after a very stressful day at work, instead of eating more said chocolate.
Cleaned up the kitchen on my breaks to get my mind off of work stuff. So I can go in and cook dinner in peace shortly.
What is everyone else doing right?0 -

Good for you sounds like a fun thing to do with friends. I like her walking tapes and living in CO I have to depend on them often to get a good walk in, I am in a two story house with basement so I walk the stairs to her often, to really kick it up a notch.0 -
I got up early enough to get to the gym and do my cardio, crunches and planks, then took my wife to have cataract surgery on her left eye. I also resisted a piece of coconut cream pie.:sad:0
