    Naked Weighed this morning and another 4 lb water weight gain. Will wait for Friday to see if I get the excess weight off with lasiks. Darned pizza on Monday sent me way over my sodium goal, and yesterday had spaghetti that was definitely salty. Need to stop sabotaging my health! Whatever it is on Friday will still post the weight.

    A wet, dreary bank holiday weekend, made fresh bread for the freezer (I don't eat a lot of bread now), and it smelled so good, and I just happened to have some butter in the fridge....sigh. But how does 3 small slices/rolls with less than 3oz of butter in total make 4lbs weight gain?? Shifted 3 of those, let's hope I get under 303lbs for next week to show a proper loss.

    Had a lovely day today, met up with some good friends, who had come on holiday near me. We visited one of the glorious old English country houses with a large estate, walled and formal gardens etc designed by Edward Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll in the last century. Walked a fair distance, climbed steep paths to the bluebell woods on the valley slopes, then had a low calorie lunch and a delicious cake as a treat for my birthday next week. My friend and I both have significant birthdays this year, so a small celebration was in order.

    Looks like some of us did great this week but others of us (myself included) struggled. I know we can all recoup and have a better week for the next weigh in! All of a sudden my sodium seems to be going over daily. I'm trying to be careful but I still tend to check calories and not sodium and then when I go to log I realize that my sodium intake is too high! :( Mine is set for 2300/day which is considered the high limit of a safe or good level so they tell me. I guess I'll have to go back a month or two and look at what I was eating when I was consistently under the 2300. Ugh Anyone else having this problem? Most of mine is from prepared foods, i.e. packaged potatoes, deli turkey for lunch, etc. Unfortunately, I hate to cook especially for just one person. Back to the drawing board and better homemade meals.

    @teresaglz21 the way I understand it is that your total weight loss is from the week of April 19 - you shorted yourself. Total loss 4.9 very nice! :)

    Typical! Recorded a 1lb gain here yesterday, am 2lbs down today! Just have to keep that, or lower, to next week so I don't let the side down again.

    I wonder the same thing, Birdy. It takes weeks for me to lose 4 pounds. Then I eat a couple slices of pizza and I gain it back. This did not happen when I was younger......

    This is so typical of my own observations! Easy on and difficult off. I think that's true for all of us who have gotten obese and are struggling to get back to a healthy weight. We must just keep at it!
    :'(

    Friday - Fitness (what are you doing to get fit? How are you preparing for weekend eating?

    Eating? ... Well ... I just took out of the oven something I have been dreaming about for a very long time ... Banana Nut Bread. I haven't entered the recipe into MFP yet so I don't know how much of a slice I will be able to fit into my daily routine ... and this is definitely the type of food that I can eat too much of both in one sitting and in repeats during the day. So ... while my resolve is strong because I haven't yet tasted it ... When it is completely cool and I have figured out how much of it 100 to 150 calories will be ... I am going to slice it into portions and wrap each one up to freeze, except for the one that will be my treat today.

    Fitness ... I'm on a roll the past few days with being more active. It's raining outside, has been for 2 days and will continue for a few more ... so my activity will be in the house today and this weekend. Tasks on my 3-Day To-Do include:
    1 - Finish ALL the laundry (I'm down to blankets, throws, and bedding now)... wash, dry, fold and put away.
    2 - Find that ball I'm supposed to use to massage my leg muscles with against a wall ... and do it!
    3 - Shop the big-box hardware for supplies to tuneup my lawn mower ... and do the tune up.
    4 - Scrub the kitchen and utility room floors
    5 - Scrub the front hall top to bottom and feng shui it.

    Don't want to bite off too much ... but there is still cooking on the agenda, besides that lovely Banana Bread treat.
    6 - Make a Tuna Casserole for tonights supper
    7 - Stew cabbage with mushrooms and bacon
    8 - Pork Chop dinner of some sort on Sunday. Hot dog and sauerkraut w/mashed potatoes on Saturday.

    Hi All ... happy Friday!

    It's been raining non stop here ... it was so beautiful early in the week .. all you wanted was to be outdoors but now not a chance ... and think the whole weekend will be like this.

    @happygirlxxx ... I know what you mean about baking when there is just you ... cause it's just me also. However, I have been wanting this baked good for over a year and decided a couple of weeks ago that I would try one day soon to make it and see if I could actually stick to just eating a small piece at a time.

    Today was the day. I made one of my favorite recipes. I should have cut it into 20 pieces or more to get the calories out of it that I wanted ... but ended up cutting it into 18 pieces. One was part of my mid-meal, along with 1/6th portion of the Tuna Noodle Casserole I made today. The other 17 pieces are wrapped and in the freezer now. .. each one ended up being 164 Calories ... hope I can stick to it and fit it into my calories insead of it being extra. That's a lot of calories for a couple of tasty bites ... But I had to try. (and the surprizing nutrient was sugar ... only 2 grams in a serving.)

    I'm finding myself in the hospital once again, with another a-fib situation. Last time this happened (first time!) was almost exactly 8mos ago. Was at the gym this morning, running on the treadmill, and then actually passed out in the shower. I did manage to get myself to my office afterwards (only 1.5 miles away), but then felt too sick and tired to even walk. My co-worker called 911, and the EMTs brought me to ER. Have been admitted overnight, and now waiting for my heart beat to convert back to normal. Hopefully soon... PLEASE!
