I emailed Howie last week, He is doing OK just very busy at the moment.0

Doing my daily check in. Busy at work so don't have time to read through the 30+ posts that have been added since I looked yesterday! LOL
Did my weigh in at WW this morning and was up .6, but considering I lost four last week, I figure I'm still doing good. Now... if I could just stop eating junk food today....

i.m a sugar holic too. I feel so good off of it but the effort it takes to say that way is too much some times.0

WOW! It's nice to see so much activity on here. Now if I could only keep up. I am blaming my inability to sleep and scattered brain on the impending full moon. Reading everybody's posts on LCHF is motivating me. I feel a bit out of the loop in that dept. Have noticed that GI issues are getting better as I have lowered the carbs. If I could only eliminate the boyfriend's anger at me for wanting to eat beef again. It will work out.
Because I was feeling anxious about the blood work today (the pessimist in me saying that the numbers will be awful), I started feeling fat and decided to weigh myself to add fuel to the fire. Felt like I had gained 10 pounds overnight. The scale was down 8 pds since I started back here (think it is 8 days). I realize it is all water, but showed me how the mind plays games with you when you are in a funk. I'd like to say I was "good" today, but I ate a mini-butterfinger. Ugh! Didn't need it, didn't even want it, but still had it. Oh well, onward I go!0 -
One mini butterfinger is just a blip Kris!0
-
And congrats on the 8lbs! Water or not!!0

Day 4!! Google Hangout tonight ... 7pm PST/9pm CST0
-
Couldn't remember whether I've done this or not... just checking in!0

Another check in challenge! Woo! Carol reminded me of the New Year's goals of last year. I forgot. I guess I'm pretty close, but the weight has been coming off at a pound per month for the last 5. Maybe I can use this as motivation to step it up and lose the last 3lbs by Jan 1st.0

Hi Rae! Congrats on your progress!! Great to see you again.0
-
Google hangout was great. If you missed it you missed out.0

Almost forgot to post...today was a rest day. Bowled on my Thursday league tonight and did terrible. Ate pretty bad too...I'm already in bed thank god I can do this on my phone. TGIF (almost)!0

Good morning everyone. Happy Friday!0

Happy Friday Folks! Have a Funtastic sort of day.0

Happy Friday All!
Thanks Carol. Feel better about it this morning. Happy that I am not sporting as much of a muffin top in my skinny jeans
Hey Rae!!! Great to see you here and congrats on the loss. You got those last 3 pounds! I am JEALOUS!
Tindercd, I am not sure I have ever bowled without beer and treats from the snack bar. TGIF!
I did the first set of Hammer's 2D Nail Challenge just now and is my core ever weak. Those 20 seconds on each side were brutal. Might have to do all of these at home, otherwise my coworkers will get a good laugh. Today's early morning meeting canceled so Friday is already off to a fabulous start! BTW other than the mini-challenge yesterday, I took last night off from working out. Opted for sleep. Ahhhh:)0 -
Day 6 back on track0
-
Yay! Friday!
Heron, I love your diary....makes me worry less about my macros. I just realized that I ate more calories yesterday than one woman I follow has since Monday. And she says she's logging everything but detoxing. Holy crap how does one function in less than 400 calories a day. I guess I used to do stupid stuff like that when I was younger. And look where it got me.
I did make one change yesterday that I haven't been doing. A post workout shake. Unsweetened almond milk with a low carb protein powder. Not sure why I never do them. Got back from gym last night and something made me read the label if the protein powder I use in kiddos smoothies. Only 4 g carb per serving. Kinda BLEECH blah tasting not blended up with fruit and yogurt. But I figured now that I'm in a solid 3-4 day week heavy lifting routine this isn't a bad add.
Oh and I contacted AJ (Andrea Jaengle) to get on her waiting list. Told her I am open to another body io coach but due to her love of mountain biking I'd prefer her. Not in any rush for coaching but thought it might be interesting to get some professional insights.0 -
Hangout? I missed a hangout!! Heck, I even had a good connection from the hotel. Heading back home today and then back out of Monday. A few days of better eating is sorely needed. Next week should be better too... I hope.0
-
Good morning, everyone! I have a massage that I received as a gift that I am using today, so that will be nice. But the only time slot was 8:45 AM. Who wants a massage first thing in the morning?!
Have a great day everyone!0 -
Good morning everyone!
I didn't realize there was a Google Hangout last night! Bummed I missed it! :-( Could really use some positive vibes.
Slipping off track again. Haven't been feeling all that great for the last week or so, so lots of comfort eating. And once I start that, it's a hard cycle to break. But today is a new day!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday morning!0 -
Happy Friday!0

Happy Friday All! This is my first check in during December. Whomp Whomp. Hope you are all doing well!0
-
TGIF, Still here.0

Hey all, Friday here. Get to work on the barn tomorrow. Missed the hangout because i could not figure out how to connect to it.0

Day 5 everyone. 16% there!
I finally fell asleep at 3:30 yesterday afternoon. That made a total of about 33 hours awake for absolutely no reason. It was definitely weird...
On a good note, Monday, I weighed in at 208.6, which is the most I've been in over a year(maybe longer), but I think that was my weekend of crappy eating. Today I weighed at 199.8, so I'm happy about that. Hopefully it's only downhill from here.0 -
Kris, there is always plenty of beer involved lol. It's one of the things I won't give up because I enjoy it so much. It's once a week on Thursday nights and then once a month on Sundays for a travel league I'm in. 5 days of the week I'll be cheating which isn't terrible. Now keeping the other 25-26 days in check is another story.0
-
The hang out was awesome. There were a lot of laughs and a lot of therapy! It was fantastic to get to touch base with you guys. Thanks again Arturo for setting it up. We are going to have one more toward the end of December so start looking for that date in the events section. I can't say enough about how helpful it was ! It's like this chat board only LIVE people! Loved it!0
-
Ditto, I enjoyed hosting the hangout ... thanks Carol for the tutorial! Lol
Next time I'll know what to do. Anybody interested in participating in the next one can MFP mail me your Google+ name so I can add you to my circle and invite you directly. But I will always post the link once the hangout has started to the MFP group forum for those joining last minute.0 -
Tindercd, I hear ya! I had a liquid lunch today, but I do not feel guilty. Maybe a little because it was a LARGE draft, but eh, he brought it and I wasn't going to send it back;) That would be rude. lol It was light beer and I have eaten clean all day. I blame my trip to DC. There it was nightly tequila and beer. For the most part I don't drink, but occasionally I enjoy having one or two or... (that is where it gets tough!)
Hey Angela! Great to see you. You have been kicking butt this month.
Arturo, I will mail you. I want in on the next one. How do y'all do it. Voice, video, text?
Happy Friday All! Picking up my new GPS tonight. Super excited. Will give it a go on the trails tomorrow, even if I can only hike. Missing running so much!!!0 -
Someone once told me it isn't the alcohol that's super bad for you but instead it's the poor food choices you make while under the influence of said alcohol. I'm 10x more likely to eat a large french fry after a few beers than I am after a few bottles of water.0
