    I have been slowly making better choices again and tracking my food. I want this month to count, its still hard for me to exercise with some issues but I am now starting PT so I hope this helps get me where I need to be

    Well I'm not starting out so great but I am having to replace my fridge probably this weekend. I just replaced my freezer last month. So as of right now we dont have much food in the house. Hopefully that's about to change...

    Having back surgery really screwed up my month. Talk about retaining fluids, UGH. My back, legs, arms, feet and hands... (every darn part of me) is swollen. I really feel like I could "POP" me with a pin and fly around the earth a few times. So I'm starting today at a place I feel more comfortable with. My goal is to lose 7lbs this month.

    I left MFP for a while and the entire process tanked. (TBH, it was already tanking when I left.)
    I haven't weighed yet today; I am using the weight from my last doctor visit (about a month ago), so will edit this post if needed.

    Today is DAY 1. I cannot mentally process setting EXACT goals for this week. I am just going to get my butt out of my chair and not eat junk. We'll see where that gets me. When the week is done I will evaluate and make a goal for the month.

    I have noticed when I'm not as active on the boards (reading/posting) I'm not as focused on my drive and it shows. I'm still losing, so it's all in the right direction, but I need to keep the focus on me and not everything that is blowing up around me, especially things that I have no control over! Keep control of things I can control...that's my food and water intake, exercise and attitude. July is going to be the month of Dee. :smiley:

    I originally started this journey last August but fell off of the bandwagon. While I am disappointed that I didn't meet the goals I set last year I'm happy that I have only regained 3 lbs. This year I'm determined to set more realistic goals for myself. :-)

    I am not going in the right direction!! Biggest problem is there is really no food in the house. Tonight there will be. I am not waiting for others anymore, I need to get food so I stop buying out. Just need yo utilize my crock pot and my rotisserie oven until it gets cooler here. I have been exercising but it won't do much if I'm not eating right. Back to the drawing board........

    Not expecting next week to be that good since I will be at a conference all week. Have a plan to eat a snack for breakfast and lunch then a higher calorie meal in the evening so maybe I won't gain or will at least minimize the amount gained. Of course when I bought some snack crackers I had to buy extra for my husband - he's been eating some all week.

    I HAVE GOT to do something else because clearly what I have been doing is definitely NOT working! I am so frustrated right now. If this doesn't make anyone think about just giving up, nothing will! I am by no means giving up, just so frustrated! My nephew told me that he wants to go into the military but he needs to lose his weight first.

    Maybe I will try what he is going to do to lose his weight. I won't do anything drastic though cause that is usually not healthy for you. Been there done that....will never go there again. But something has to change...and soon.
