Just for today I will eat for strength until my monthly feast day. I lost 5 pounds in 3 week. It's like watch my hips and thighs melt off of my pear shaped frame! In July it will be a loaded blooming onion at outback steakhouse and crab stuffed lobster tail.2

Since I sprained my ankle, not doing so well, both with food intake, and exercise. Now, time to get back to walk/exercising, and eating better. Our grandson was here last weekend -- way too much junk food. In another week the other grandson will come, but no excuse. I can eat healthy, even if grandsons and DIL want chips, etc.
SO JFT, Tuesday, July 19
1. tomorrow is my 65th birthday. Start today with getting healthy, by making healthy food choices.
2. get back to walking. If it is too hot, I now have a gym membership, so get to the gym -- NO MATTER WHAT!
3. log all my food intake.
4. NO SUGAR!!!! Sugar not only makes me grumpy and feel sluggist, but terrible for me
5. DRINK WATER
6. get back on here tomorrow - no matter what -- I be ACCOUNTABLE!!
I missed all you guys. You are all the best with so much inspiration and encouragement!!3 -
Happy birthday Joan!
Children do not actually NEED chips. 1 -
@joan6630 I missed you too. Love that you are back. I have been in slump for no good reason but it's easier just knowing you are posting again, friend. I hope your ankle is on the mend. My granddaughter is funny, she likes junk food but if I have dressing or dip she will eat sugar snaps, carrots, celery, anything she can dip, and strange child prefers beans or edamame for her main course. It's not that she won't eat meat, she just likes beans. Of course she also like pizza, chips, chocolate, ice cream...
See you tomorrow! On your birthday! (Mine was yesterday )

Happy Belated Birthday Karen!!!!0 -
Did not do so well today -- but now the sugar is OUT of the house. But the good thing was that I logged every cookie. I did get to the gym, and that felt good. So tomorrow I am hoping to get up early before work, and do 1 hour at the gym!
Oh - this latest quilt is a quilt I just finished for my dear brother. These are all his Harley Tshirts. My brother found out in Januaay that he has major heart problems - and on 9 medications. He is my only surviving sibling out of 6. Since I don't know what his future will be, as his heart is only pumping at 30% (up at least from 10%) so I was in a rush to finish this quilt and send it off to him. I am making 2 more identical ones for his sons. Great therapy for me!4 -

@joan6630 How was your birthday? I love the quilt. My mom made one for my son as a gift for H.S. graduation many yrs ago using his favorite t-shirts from his childhood which I hadn't been able to let go. Good use of those old t-shirts, and he loved it so much.1

I have been feeling a bit chubby and so have avoided the scales for 2 weeks. Today I put on my big girl panties and got on the scale...2 lbs down...just goes to show me that I can't trust how I "feel". Must keep on logging and stick to my food plan as well as I can. I cannot trust my own body signals and perceptions yet. Someday...2

Great job Karen!!!! See - you eat the right foods, and keep sticking with your plan. The scale is not the only predictor to your success!3
