    2. Attend Patchwork Group this morning



    Terri - are you a quilter? Just wondering if this is what your Patchwork group is. I love to quilt and sew. Mostly in the evenings -- now if I can just keep doing this instead of grabbing snacks in between sewing :)

    What a great idea! I feel much of my binge eating or late night snacking is due to boredom sitting in front of the TV, finally " relaxing"... I'm not into quilting but it seems like I need to find something that works for me. Any ideas?

    Yesterday was a fairly good day; got a 2 mile walk in even though it was hot. Joan6630, I can relate.

    It's a holiday weekend which sometimes brings me down. I have tons of time on my hands so I'm going to get busy. Got more than half the laundry done yesterday, logged my food until dinner. We ate out and I didn't get what I planned to order. Not sure how to log that food so I may just get close. I simply forgot to focus on the water drinking yesterday so that will be a goal again today.

    Just for today:
    (1) Go to church
    (2) Log my food
    (3) Drink allotted amount of water or more.

    and go to gym3+ times weekly.

    You can do this. Had a H 16 years ago and was the best thing for me. Health is so much better.

    Am 68 now but feel 10 years younger. Have lost 38.5 lbs which helps a lot. I don't believe the myth that you just gain weight after a H. I gained because I ate and ate and ate. With no exercise.

    Its amazing how a simple little email can really change your day. Friday I was so down in the dumps - no reason - just down on myself. I am gained weight, back to old habits of eating for comfort.

    Someone on MFP messaged me, wanting to join this group. I informed her it was not a "group", and anyone can join and post. She also was struggling, like I have been lately. But we passed a couple emails back and forth, and while I encouraged her to keep trying, in reality, it helped me.

    SO a word to anyone -- when we can lift each others spirits, and encourage each other, I think we help ourselves as much if not more.

    So the past 2 days have been good for me. I rode my bike 22 miles on saturday, and yesterday went on a long almost 6 mile hike - yes - and it was in the 90s!!!


    But, I am down almost 3 lbs this week, which is so encouraging.

    So just for today, Monday, 9/7
    1. keep water with me in the evenings to keep from snacking. If I am really hungry, drink a glass of milk.
    2. replace one bad habit with a good habit. Bad habit today - eating while sewing. Just for today, no eating in my sewing room
    3. My legs are tired yet from the past 2 days of exercising, but I am going to try and get out for a walk tonite - maybe a 30 minute walk.

    I hope you all have a wonderful labor day. We can all lose this weight. Think of how great we are going to feel by the end of the year. Long-term goals!

    @Jazz1979P
    - I love to quilt and do anything crafty. There are so many things to do while watching TV = knitting, crocheting, coloring. My problem is I eat while sewing - so really working on changing this bad habit :)
