Best wishes everyone, lets do it! :-)0 -
I achieved my day's goal, by walking 2.25 miles around my workplace.
I sprained my knee a few weeks ago, running, and haven't been able to move as well as before.
Since I count on the extra cardio calories to offset some of my eating, I'm up a bit, but that will change, now0 -
Congrats on the successes everyone. My downfall is nighttime snacking. Did ok last night, will see how tonight goes.0
-
Today I want to log everything I eat. I want to walk for at least 15 minutes at lunch. I want to cook dinner tonight instead of grabbing takeout.0
-
Tonight I am not going to snack while I'm doing dinner dishes. Evidently, those calories count too. Who knew??

A few months back it hit me that I did the same. Since then, I have a pact that I don't ever eat anything while standing - sitting only with weighed & measured portions, no open containers or bags. It has helped me tremendously.0 -
Today is weights/yoga day, both of which I am not a fan. Well see how that goes.0

That's a good idea. I think I'll make that my rule too!0 -
weights done, yoga tonight I hope.0

Since I am close to my weight goal, I have formulated a plan to start weightlifting again. 3 day split, start out light weight with calorie deficit for a week. Then 3 day split lifting heavy with maintenance calorie intake for a week and keep rotating the weeks for a month or two. I will continue walking 2 or more miles a day, but will take Sunday off. Still calculating carb and protein intake for the different weeks, many different opinions out there. Hopefully I will gain muscle on heavy lift weeks and maintain muscle on light lift weeks, plus lose fat. Fingers crossed!0

Sounds like a good plan. If you haven't seen this thread check it out. Vismal is a great resource for all things, but particularily on cutting and bulking. I've read the entire thread and learned a ton. I'm not there yet but hope to be starting on it later this year.

Made it through last night without getting my treats/snacks while washing dishes. So one little victory! I want to do the same tonight. Maybe tonight I can be disciplined without feeling temptation the entire time.0
-
Did the yoga last night. Goal for today is no late night snacking.0

There's a potluck at work today and I sit dangerously close to the break room...smells are already drifting by my desk. My goal is to get through the day with only a reasonable amount of indulgence and still within my calorie goals!0

Tough one - I think you should try to take control of the situation. Go face that potluck head-on, no sampling, just eye the dishes you think you need to have some of, then log it and determine acceptable portion sizes or which you will avoid altogether, and then enjoy - guilt free!

Already did my workout. Packed a healthy lunch. It's a good day so far!0

Great post, I like reading about other peoples success, and how they did it. It gives me something different to try and breaks the boredom of doing the same routine.
I thought about hitting the gym from the git go, but decided since I'm in my 50's to start back slow so I didn't give myself a heart attack. So I started walking first and then biking. I figured when I hit 200 lbs. my heart would be better conditioned and it would be a good time to join a gym and workout.
I actually started this past Monday and I am sore, legs and abs tomorrow.1 -
Have had a couple of coo doo days. Tomorrow we start again.

Have a great day everyone!

Been missing in action these past few days.. Had an incredibly busy weekend
But I'm back with a vengeance
Today I want to eat clean
Walk as much as I can
Skip for as long as I can manage
Drink more water
Have a great day everyone0 -
Today is a cardio focus day. Burn off about 600 or so calories of exercise and eat about 500 less than I need to maintain.
Just another day on the path to drop 1.5-2 lbs a week.
Why do so many have drink 8 glasses of water as a goal?
Is that a more Over 50 goal? I did not know of this as a goal to have.0 -
Back to the weights tonight, maybe run some intervals after squats and deadlifts. Been laying low for a week nursing various injuries after a wee crash on the mountain bike.0
-
Feeling much, much better today after a week of being out of routine and out of sorts. Got my walk in at a good pace this morning. Already have half my water in. Going to be hot and humid today so will get much more in. My only real plan today is to get under calories goal, which has been hard. Pacing my snacks better should help.0
-
Don't necessarily need 8 glasses of water, just 64 oz. of fluids, on average depending on your size. Good for all, especially older folks to keep the kidneys humming, (as if mine need help, lol). Good to flush out some of the salt we eat, but should not be overdone. My goal today, cut out the sugary crap I have been eating.0
-
Today. I want to achieve
Good clean eating
Stay hydrated
Keep a positive attitude
Her goes 0 -
This is for yesterday, did do some weights and yoga, didn't binge on sugar last night. Today is travel day. so hoping I make good choices at restaurant on the road.0
-
Working on my attitude today. I haven't been feeling it at all this week, for some reason. I've made it to my workouts, but just not focused. So, need to up my energy and focus for the remainder of the week.
Or take a nap. 0
