Back from long busy weekend of getting house ready for new tenants. Lots of cleaning everything, mowing, weeding, time in car at both ends. Very tired, so keeping today simple.

1. Laundry - partially done, largely because everything was taking forever to dry because of the higher humidity.
2. Put away stuff from trip - hubby's stuff not so much, he's an adult he can put his own stuff away.
4. No more than two cups of caffeine, so I can stay on normal sleep.

JFT Tuesday
1. Finish laundry, including folding and putting away.
2. Dishes
3. Layoff the sugar
4. collect paperwork for Indoc next week
5. something active this evening even though it's warm and humid, walk around the block minimum

Happy Tremendous Tuesday to each of you

I am convinced that my scale will not let me see 219. Since the first of July I have seen every combination possible for 220._ I just cannot get down those few tenths. Tomorrow might be my lucky day!!

I will keep you in my thoughts and send lots of positive energy your way. Drink that water...maybe add a little lemon and cayanne. I too am plagued by that stubborn scale. I need to stay on track so I can see real movement. I use to say "I will never let myself get above 200". Now I have been here for 2 years. I have had enough. This week is it. We can do this!!

Well, JFT 6th July:
1. Stay within cals
2. Lots of water/tea 3+ pints
3. 30 + min exercise

Well, I think I didn't make a single goal yesterday. Got some really great OTHER things accomplished (a small sewing project, getting son ready for college, set up book swap at my house for this week, put away laundry, shop for daughter's bday...important, but not related to health!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). I just have to get over this hump (it has lasted almost 3 weeks...time is slipping away)--if I can just get rolling again, it is a "self-perpetuating cycle": I feel better ("thin" coz I'm not pigging out), I feel a little fit coz of some exercise, I get pumped up coz I see the scale decreasing....OK, Kate, get going!!!!!!!!! Sometimes I feel like it might require a "Just for this HOUR"!!!

JFT 7th July:
1. Stay within cals
2. Lots of water/tea 3+ pints
3. 30 + min exercise

Hope all of you make progress in your days too!!!

Just for today I will:

Burn 1,000 calories during my workout.
Stay within my calories.

1. paperwork - 1 hour
2. laundry
3. meeting

Have a wonderful happy healthy day!

JFT 7th July:
1. Stay within cals---Still remains to be seen since it is only almost noon
2. Lots of water/tea 3+ pints--I've got a pint in...soon to be pint & half within a few minutes
3. 30 + min exercise--- Done, done. This also leaves room for a little more later ?!?, but my arms, and probably most of me, are shaking right now!

I AM going to check-in at intervals thru the day, coz I just HAVE to get myself going again! So, here's my "late morning" check-in...partially to motivate myself with a little success. Sorry to take up the space (but I'm not really, lol )

Been gone on vacation, and coming back refreshed. Hoping to start over and stick to it!!

Just for Today:
1. Document every bite that goes in my mouth -- FAITHFULLY!
2. Take some "me" time to read a chapter out of the new Danielle Steele book I bought
3. 30 minutes of exercise either at the gym or in the basement with the Wii Fit.

Have a wonderful day everyone!
