YAY you!!!!
I did a bunch of yardwork today... All afternoon I had a bad case of the "I want to eat SOMETHING"s.
But I drank a couple big glasses of water (having discovered that sometimes when I think I need to eat, I'm just thirsty) and had some peanuts... having to shell the darn things slows me down. ha.0 -
Good day foodwise and a walk this morning and a run this afternoon...glorious day weatherwise...blue sky and sunshine!
All good!:flowerforyou:

The weather is UGLY today. Cold. Drizzly. Ugh.
But! I slept really well last night and woke up freeling GREAT. I've been draggy for the last couple of days; not sure why..
Anyway, I weighed in this morning and I'm down 2 lbs.
Going to avoid the scale for a week just in case that was a fluke... did about 25 minutes on the exercise bike...
So far. So good.
I'm making tilapia for dinner with broccoli and french fries. NO fries for me!!

Is there any way to set up a thread so the most recent post is that the top? this one is getting a bit cumbersome. what I did right today was planning ahead with my meals. I am bad about that but I am getting better, especially with more recipes that I use in here now0

I agree. I was looking to see if there is a way to "sort" the topics so that the newest post is on top... but I don't see it.
If somebody else knows about this, let us know!!!
Today I did my 25 minutes of exercise.. I'm doing ok on calories and even had room to fit in a little snack (graham crackers with my coffee.. whee)

Chris, Jean and Dream. I love your positive posts. We all need this positive focus. Congratulations on your achievements.
I logged my food yesterday and today. Also re-measured myself today and am showing steady progress. Inches provide a nice balance to the focus on weight and food.
Feel really good about finishing some tasks that have been dragging me down-finally gave away our unused piano and have been getting extra exercise trying furniture in different places. I love getting things done!

Great insight. We tend to be so hard on ourselves when we are really doing something amazing and exceedingly difficult.

I agree.
It CAN be really tough. I have been losing and it feels good. But. We're going on a trip in a couple of weeks, so I've been going through my wardrobe sorting out stuff to take. I pulled out a forgotten pair of jeans that fit me at the end of 2012 and.. Well. It was NOT pretty. :sick:
I thought that moving across the country, packing, unpacking, setting up a new house would keep the weight off, but OBVIOUSLY I was wrong. (Who me? I didn't make all those brownies uh UH, nope nope...) :huh: And I haven't yet lost
enough to fit into them yet.
But. I WILL. I'm going to IGNORE the slight DOWNER I got when I realized I "grew" out of those pants, and just focus on staying focused. If that makes sense.
(And I'm going to be able to fit into the other eleventy pairs of pants I kept that no longer fit me)

Crisbtrue where did you move from and to? I am also getting ready to pack and move (presently house hunting) and I sooooo dread all that work! On the positive side I am not working now so that is a huge help!
I agree with you that it would be a lot easier if the threads had the most recent post first. Is there any way to change that?
As for what I did right today, I am so impressed with myself!! I had the most productive day that I have had since I quit working (now in my 7th week). Today I drank six glasses of water for the first time, took the LONG version of my walk with the dogs, did my exercise bike with the new increased tension level, and topped it off with about 20 minutes of yoga!! Yeaaaaaa!!! I also cooked from my light recipes and measured and weighed all of my food!
And I will conclude with another mantra that I am going to post on a card on my bathroom mirror "Exercise is the Fountain of Youth!!!"0 -
Well done DreamOn...that was a fab day!
I have just done my first ever 10k run! I have run round my lake twice a few times in the past and was hoping today to get round three times to get up to 10k. When I set off it was very windy and I was doubtful that I would get round...but I slowed right down when the wind was in my face and speeded up when it was behind me and just kept on going.....and I did it! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Fantastic job Jean! Job well done!
Yesterday was my first day - as I did do a few things right - water, below calories, healthy snacks. But I need to make better choices - I need to walk, walk & walk! I also need more veggies. Today will be a better day!!0 -
Every new day can be a great one. We have choices we can make, no matter what the day brings. Let's make good ones!0

What I did right:
Logged in changed my weight, I have added 9 lbs, not lost, so far this year. I lost my mojo in all the bad weather and I have had sinus infection, some weird stomach flu stuff, you'd think I would have lost something with that but nope. So it was stand in my truth day, I've adjusted my ticker etc. I'm starting over. Atleast I woke up before I gained it all back!!
Got the TRX strength training set for home use, hubby is locating a good spot to put it up.
Eating fresh fruit, lean meats, so far I am on track with eating today.
Forgave my self for losing focus, dusted myself off and got on line.0 -

You ROCK Jean, great accomplishment.0 -
"Yesterday is a memory. Tomorrow is but a dream. Live fully today - for today is Life." - somebody said this
Don't be discouraged. You know what to do, and you can do it again! Warm weather will help all of us to be more active.0 -
I am probably "butting in" where i don't belong - but, what if we start a new thread at the beginning of each month, then it will not get so long.
Just an idea, but I really like looking at the positive since I have a habit of being down on myself and looking at what I have done wrong.
Thanks!0 -

We had planned on picking up shrimp & boiling it for dinner. I had no 'Plan B' in place (I'm easy, but hubby needs something more than boiled chicken!). Rick ended up working late, so I knew the shrimp place would be closed & he would be in no mood to clean them, so suggested a Mexican place that was close by where we had to pick up his truck that was in the shop.
This restaurant does not post their nutrition on line, but they do have a copy of their menu. I did the best i could at estimating what the meal I decided to order would be. Ignored the chips and dip (not quite sure how - they have the BEST green dip), asked for a togo box when I ordered dinner & put half the entree in there immediately. Limited myself to one tortilla at dinner, barely touched the rice and ignored the sour cream.
When I got home, I found that i still had enough 'room' for desert and - bonus - now have my dinner for tomorrow set (with no tortilla).
Didn't do as much walking as I should have today, but nailed restaurant dinner, so I'm happy

I kept pretty much to my calories yesterday....and did alot of exercise which I didn't log so as to avoid eating the extra calories..I know that is just a mind thing and maybe doesn't make sense but hopefully it is a trick which will work!!!
Weighed this morning and I have lost another pound .....yey!:bigsmile:

Just getting started and that is a big first step for me. I really need to get more walking in. I have arthritis in my knees but need to get them moving. Had cereal and a banana for breakfast this morning. I am still working full time but my job is basically sitting in front of a computer all day. I have also joined TOPS which is much less expensive than WW and my hubby is getting me a fitbit for my birthday. My daughter just loves hers. Thanks for the encouragement.0

What I PLAN to do right today: Get to the gym later this morning, (Didn't go yesterday because of Clyde's dental surgery) eat light meals and snacks, pre-plan restaurant dinner menu. We are picking up his sister and BIL at the airport, and they insist on taking us to dinner tonight...my choice, so it should be easy.0

Welcome Hayley....... look forward to chatting with you :flowerforyou:

I just increased walking this morning from 10 min to 13 with only 1 rest period!!
My plan is to do 10 again this afternoon.
I have a Dr. appt at Wichita ( 2 hrs 1 way) so will be eating out. Our DIL and 2 GS will be going. Will need to eat where they are OK but yet OK with me.
I haven't decided where yet.
Need to think about this!0 -
Three mile run today!:bigsmile:
Jean0 -
Clyde's sister and BIL eat healthy, and we made big salads together. Hope that we go for another long walk today. My "big plan"?
Gather energy for the inundation of house guests today and tomorrow, arriving from all over for Kari's Memorial tomorrow.0 -
Checking in - I gained and have not lost a lb yet.
What I did right today - I read californiagirl's exercises for the week. I did Monday's wood chops 10 x.
I asked friends for encouragement and got some.
I ate a low calorie breakfast.
I made a pact with husband to support each other to eat right this week - no cookies or candy and no whining about it!
I made a plan to exercise today.
I think I got a lot done and need to do that last line. HAPPY MONDAY! Let's get it on LADIES !!! 0 -
Great plans there girls! I am hoping for good weather this week and planning to go running every day.:ohwell:
Got off to a flying start today with a three-miler :bigsmile:

Good evening dear ladies!!
Today - I have eaten correctly, within my calories.
I walked three different times today. I could certainly tell I had blown it over the week-end - healthy food and exercise were totally ignored.
We are to have a hard freeze tonight. There is great concern about our wheat. If you would like to put the wheat crop on your prayers tonight all of we farmers would appreciate it very much.
See you tomorrow!0
