    So I met my goal for this past crazy week and weekend: to have all the weight that I gained from the 4th and the Scottish festival off by Wednesday with maybe a little loss. Well I did and am .2 lb lighter than last Tuesday. But I still feel a little puffy so maybe by tomorrow mornings weigh in I can report a little more!! Now for today's goal: make a grocery list and get to the store to replinish the coffers. And get this poor house recovered from the crazyness!!

    Tuesday goals:
    1. J.o.b.
    2. Follow food plan
    3. At least 6 cups water
    4. Buy more lids from GFS for my disposable containers. I dont have my cottage cheese with me at work today bc of this one.
    5. Relax and take care of me. Feeling sluggish today could mean I am fighting something.

    Tuesday goals. I hit my big picture goal of 230 and windsurfing and hadn't really gone much further with big things. Short term I'm feeling like I need to tune up on my basics. Logging my diet and exercise has lagged, still around 1000 calories and 20 to 25 miles walking weekly. But no accountability can lead to mission slide, or going totally off the rails.
    I got a nice promotion at work and am crazy busy trying to do everything and everything else.

    Ate too well on the cruise but enjoyed my time with the hubby and the time off work. When you work 7 days a week without a break. It is so good to just relax and be stressfree for a while.

    Hubby leaves Friday....and then the weightloss journey resumes. :)

    My goal was to lose back what I gained over the weekend. I thought it would take all week but I'm already down that plus some!!! So excited. Now I need a new goal for the week

    Tuesday goal update: yesterday I took my first step to health and joined the gym near work. I did 20 min on the treadmill at lunch and 20 min on elliptical after work. Would like to set a goal to go once a day during the week (twice a day if I can).

    Good Morning All,

    Yesterday was a horrible day; my little yorkie suddenly stopped walking and the left size of his body is not working properly. The vet said could be neurological and doesn't know if he will recover ... and if he doesn't improve within the next days I should consider to put him to sleep. This broke my heart because he is my baby, had him since he was 3 months old and now he is 14.5 years old; can't imagine the house without him.

    But something that amazed me was our other dog, a Labrador, was so kind to him ... will lay down close to the yorkie and just sniff him. This morning instead of barking and jumping to wake me up he sat quiet next to his little friend.

    And we are about 10 days from leaving and I wonder if the dog will recover for the trip :neutral:

    This week I was not able to achieve my additional goals just did workout almost everyday ... but did not reach my steps, or water, calories, etc.

    However, I did lose some weight :smile:

    Wish Wednesday: that I had known when I bought my UP fitness tracker that Jawbone (the maker) would stop integrating with MFP in the next few weeks. I can't afford a new one, and I don't know how to account for my steps in MFP without the integration. But I like how MFP is handling it: when you look at the list of synced trackers, under the UP they put "a dedicated tracker is likely more accurate" that's right Jawbone, you are not dedicated!!! Any suggestions on a new (non expensive ) fitness tracker for when I do get the moolah??

    @trish-- I'm so sorry about your dog! Sending all the good vibes that he recovers.

    @jennie-- if you are just looking to track steps, could you use a phone app like map my walk and track mileage instead? That would be free.

    AFM--Not a great week for me. I was very active-helping my friend with estate sale, doing yard work, etc., but I had very little dedicated exercise time and didn't go running at all. This week has started off on a bad note in terms of food and exercise, but I still have time to turn it around.

    @happygirlxxx, Ana, I am so sorry to hear about your little dog. Having just recently lost my Yorkie/ShihTzu after 16 years I know how heartbreaking watching one get sick can be. I am hoping for a great recovery for him. <3

    SUMMER HEAT

    I had a good week! Down 2.8lb! We actually had two nights of going out....the first night was last Friday to one of they nicest places in town...so indulgent! Rich food, amazing wine...and cocktails after dinner...and my once a year cigarette. (Yes...once a year...every summer when I have had a little too much I get to have a cigarette. It takes me back to my youth :) ) The next night was a BBQ at the lake ....sigh.....
    But I didn't quit! I am really focusing on losing 1 lb at a time. I have even gone so far as to change my goal in MFP to the next pound down. I just need to lose 1 lb. That's it. Here's to another week!
