Wow my eating has been off all week. I need to get back on track. Today is the day. I will cook dinner rather than hit a drive thru. I will workout today. I will get enough sleep.0

@Italian_Buju and @matfatcowboy You can do it!!! Forgive yesterday and work for today!
I'm having a not so bad except my jeans make me depressed about my wasteline day! I know it seems silly but I finally had to give in and buy bigger clothes, I have never had pants this big and they still bug my tummy! I have had a good week though and that won't get me down!
So yesterday I made veggie dip with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, It wasn't the best but it wasn't bad, I will have to learn how to adjust for the taste of the yogurt without adding too much extra salt!
Don't know how to get in my 10 minutes today but thinking of making friends with my treadmill!

OK folks, I am on a mission now! I am slightly stressed because my cat, once again, has eaten something that can seriously hurt her. I swear she is trying to kill herself and me in the process! HOWEVER, I am not going to let it get to me unless she actually starts to show signs of being sick. At which point I will fall apart, lol, but not letting it happen before/unless it happens.
Things have worked out at work this round. I basically forced my boss to discuss it with me yesterday even though she kept insisting she was not going to. And we talked about it until we came to a mutual understanding, again. I am hoping after several years of this same problem, sooner or later she totally 'gets' it....but for now, it is contained.....she actually is a really awesome boss, just a few things we do to always see eye to eye on....
I bought a tablet last night, and I am thinking watching movies on the treadmill will make things go by much faster, and maybe even encourage me to walk longer....here's to hoping! That was one of the two main reasons I bought it.....the other was easier ad matching when shopping.....of course I will use it for other things, but those were the two big ones I wanted.
I know I have been batting 1000 for weeks on end, but I really feel I got this for now! I have a late start on this weeks goals, but I can start from today and improve them next week!
I thank each one of you for your support, it really really helps me, which is one of the reasons I started this thread, so we can all help each other!
I did a ton of walking today, and am still cleaning the house and doing laundry....so will have lots of steps today.
HLaR - better to be comfortable! Just don't buy too much, cuz you are gonna keep shrinking starting now!
Matt - glad you went home to cook! I am struggling with going to bed too....ugh
Have a great night everyone!0 -

Well, ladies and gentlemen, yesterday sucked. It sucked so bad I didn't even put in my dinner, come on this thread, put in my weight - NONE of it. I had less than 5000 steps, spent most of my day on my bottom at the office, came home craving Mexican food, told my husband we were going out, then had fajitas at Papasitos after nearly chip-and-dipping myself to death.
Unsurprisingly, I gained yesterday. I'm not even sure what was up, I wasn't unduly stressed . . . Let's call it a cheat day and move on.
I really want to move on. I am tired of moving the same pounds up and down.
Today was better. I'm at 11,000 steps already, ate at home, and am currently at a deficit of over 900 calories. I haven't eaten any of my exercise calories. I didn't do my strength training, though. Fridays when I work are long hard days, and I usually come home after getting 9-10,000 steps in and SLEEP. Today I was good and woke and cooked dinner.
We'll see what the scale says in the morning. Here's to not falling off the wagon too far . . .0 -
Had an ok eating day, but convinced my daughter to hold the focus mitts and thai pads for me, felt so good to hit some pads, I am putting up my heavy bag tomorrow. Also started a new Nike Xbox workout thing. I'm committed so let's see where it takes me.0

Ugh. To much eating out all week long again. Not enough moving. Better than the week before, but not like I was doing before Christmas.
I need to talk with my husband about going out for dessert after we go out for dinner. I don't mind the occasional treat, but not every time. Last night we discovered something I should not know exists that close to me - coconut milk tea with tapioca pearls. O. M. G. It tasted like they just poured a can of coconut cream over tapioca and ice. I don't know HOW I managed to lose weight after that!
I am definitely looking forward to kickboxing tomorrow. I don't know if I'll go to yoga tomorrow, too, but I am definitely going to try to make it on Wednesday!0 -
This week was a rough one.....I spent the beginning of it stress eating, and then it always takes me a few days of 'relaxed' eating to really get over being so stressed out and get back on track.....
I am feeling good about today and this week.....but blew it pretty much every day for the last six - from Monday to yesterday.....
I gained three pounds this week.....
I am now moving to the new thread, lol, forget this week happened.....0 -
the past couple days have been crazy for me and super busy and my food has been junk. but today I'm back at the clean eating.0

I did not do the mini goal, and I did not see anyone post that they did...did anyone do it? If not, I can repeat it for the first thread in April.....0

I did! I tried my first kickboxing class last Monday and enjoyed it enough that I'm going back tomorrow. 0
