I found a new app mapmyfitness I am sure it has been around for awhile but it is new to me. It is so awesome, it is GPS that tracks your workout & is really motivating me. Rainy today so that wasn't so nice. I am hoping to go bike shopping this weekend to buy a cyclocross bike. I have some money saved and really need something new. I hope I can make it happen.
Hope you all are doing well. Keep on climbing & eventually we will reach the top! I believe in every single one of us!!!!

- enjoy a "family movie night" with my kids and husband without snacking0 -

Am at maintenance goal. Maybe want to lose a couple more lbs now that I am here. My strategy right now is to eat my 1,260 week days and have 100 or 200 more cals each weekend day. Maintenance is a little trial and error. We'll see how it goes.
Delighted you're at maintenance. You thought the losing was hard. Maintenance is too. Complacency is the enemy here. May your resolve carry you through.

So true. We can become complacent. Still need to be mindful and log everything I eat and keep up with my walking.0 -
I said I would come back later to post when I thought of a JFT, well that was two days ago. So JFT FRIDAY!!!, I will:
- not eat the granola bar unless I go to the gym
- walk in evening at minimum
- brush/floss after dinner
- eat real dinner not just munching0 -
I just found this thread and hopefully it is OK if I join. I am on the Paleo eating lifestyle so my calories & etc will be a little different.
Just for today:
1. I will eat only my planned food - no late night snacking.
2. I will not eat any of the apple pie which I baked for our family coming tonight (this is going to be a real tough one for me as pie is my all time favorite)
3. I will get the dining room "unstacked"
4. I will start building my steps toward the 10,000 goal. Increase from yesterday
This is a wonderful thread! Thank you!

Read through some posts & just want to let everyone know how much I appreciate this thread. My thoughts & prayers go out to those of us who are struggling & gratefulness to MFPs who are willing to take the time lift others up.

Track all food (seem fine for breakfast & lunch) but fall off the wagon after lunch
Drink 9 cups of water
Gardening
Be grateful & journal
Enjoy the day!
Yesterday was a good day. My biggest struggle is tracking in the afternoon so I will pretrack today.

Wednesday:
It's a little hard to set goals for today. I have a random day off, so I am driving to the coast (3.5 hours each way) to help my parents with some things. Not entirely sure how much exercise I will be able to work in or exactly what I will eat.
I don't have children, but I have mild parent worries. I really hope that my parents move back to civilization (they are currently in a very isolated wild/scenic area) and downsize before they get into their 80s. My mom is a transplant recipient and has some mild mobility issues. Usually my dad picks up the slack, but he is recovering from surgery...
1. 10,000 steps 13,145
2. Walk on the beach and/or stop for Zumba on the way home
3. Be carb-conscious (I know, not very concrete/measurable, but maybe the best I can do today)
Thursday:
1. 12,000 steps
2. Lift heavy things
3. Be strict about carbs, darnit!
Hoping that you're able to get in some time for yourself. I know it can be a challenge looking after aging parents. Safe travels!0 -

4. Enjoy Barn Dance this evening.
Eat a light snack late afternoon. There is supper tonight. Arghhhh! Lovely sandwiches but none of my favourites. I was driving so stuck to iced water. The caller was excellent.
So much temptation this evening. Will the dancing be enough to let me indulge? It was more than enough!
