went to the mall to walk between work shifts. 10000 steps plus
2. keep track of my eating and no snacking after 10pm. (late shift at work or I would make that time earlier) I did have a few almonds in the middle of the night when I woke up with a headache and needed some ibuprofen, but otherwise no late night snacks.
3. Stay positive. With the snow and the below 0 temperatures, today could be another challenge. Bring it On! Of course I grumbled a bit, but overall I did not let the weather get to me.
Heavy snow means I need to get out of here early so I will catch up with everyone later. Just for today I will
1. Take a walk. Somehow. This might be more of a challenge than I think
2. keep track of my eating and no snacking after 9pm
3. Stay positive. Do not let the weather, roads, other drivers or upset customers get to me.
Time to take on the snowy roads! Have a Safe Wednesday everyone!

So I wrote up this long note to all of you, apologizing for not being on here - and somehow I deleted it before I hit post, so I'll start again.
I have been struggling, and having to put our cat of 19 yrs down on Sunday, just made it worse. I ate for emotional reasons, and got where I really didn't even care. But I do care, but I was ashamed to get on here, admit that I have failed once again. Sometimes I feel like a failure for keep having to start over and over again.
Then I get the email from losingrae. Thank you so much Rae! I do care, and I know that I need to get on here every single day, no matter what. It is what keeps me focused to keep on trying. To take this one day at a time. And if I fail for that ONE day, then I will try again the next day, and the next day, and the next day.
So tomorrow morning I will get on here again. I hope to rejoin all of you in our efforts to change our lifestyle, one day at a time.
SO -- thank you ALL of you for your posts. Tonite I spent reading through all that I have missed. I am not alone. We all struggle, but - we are all going to keep on trying!!0 -

Ya, had a good day yesterday. Achieved most of my goals but need to focus more on hydration.
Yesterdays Goal Success...
1. Goal to consume at least 60% protein, less than 15% fat, and at least 64oz of water. ...little goals and we'll work up from there.
Today's Goals....
Consume at least 64oz H2O.
Get a better protein shake (just discovered mine is stocked full of sugars. ...we can do better)
Maintain the 60protein/25carb/15fat.
Bonus I finally broke through the plateau. ...ya. Lost 0.6lbs finally putting me under the 180...mind you I don't contribute that to dehydration. I've been very dedicated to my liquids. Thank you so much for your support. 0 -

2. keep track of my eating and no snacking after 9pm Late work means late dinner. But U did not snack after dinner so that is one positive anyway
3. Stay positive. Do not let the weather, roads, other drivers or upset customers get to me. This I managed. Even though my coworkers didn't make it in, my clients are a hardy bunch, so I had plenty of work to do and people to help, so all in all it was a good day.
Today is a new chance to get it right. Or closer to right, I'm under no illusions that I will ever be perfect.
Just for today I will
1. Take a walk. I'm taking extra clothes with me so I can get a hike in the snow.
2. keep track of my eating and no snacking after 9pm.
3. Relax and enjoy my half day off.
The snow has stopped for now, but it is COLD out there. Have a safe and warm Thursday all!0 -
Joan we missed you. No apologies needed, you needed the time for yourself. Losing a fur friend is always hard on us, and if food is your comfort go to, yes this will trigger that too. It's OK. You will get through this and be successful again. Take care of yourself, set small goals to start and then build on that success.
Take care. I know it hurts, but eventually you will feel better and will be able to focus on the happier times with your cat.0 -
(((Joan)))
