Well i had 2 really bad meals this week. Last nights dinner was one of them... and saying no to myself for staying away from ice cream has been very difficult. But most of the time it is working into my calorie counts for the day. So it hasnt proven disasterous on my scale yet. Whew.

I am working hard to keep my exercise up. I bought a Gazelle on my cities bidding site for $3 so i gave it a go last night to undo some of my badness LOL.

Also eating lots of veggies and trying to drink at least 6 glasses of water a day. I still cant fathom drinking 8 a day....but i am working on it!!!

2 more pounds to lose and i will be back to my end of June pre-cruise weight. It is so easy to gain....and yet so hard to lose

Hello!!! Just a quick reminder for those who have not posted yet their info for the challenge to do so soon ... will be sharing our weekly results tomorrow morning.

@kampers2000 was not sure if you were just sharing your progress or you would like to participate in the challenge. If you do, just copy the weigh-in template from any of the previous entries ... don't forget to let us know what your goal is!

Have a good Thursday!

Monday check in: so this morning I changed my goal from loosing 2lb a week down to 1lb per week. This takes me up from 1200 cal to 1570cal a day. For the past month I have been struggling with the 1200 and have been getting closer to the 1500, but it was because I was falling back into my bad habits again. I think my body needs a refresh, too low for too long maybe? So now hopefully with a higher cal budget I wont feel deprived(mentally I wasn't feeling that but I think my body was saying enough, I need more now that you are more active), and won't blindly eat to fill the void and making bad choices. So back to basics of weighing and logging everything, and making better choices!!!

SUMMER HEAT CHALLENGE!

This wasn't a bad week; I managed to lose even though I did indulge on my birthday

What I have been trying to do for the last couple of weeks is this diet called Ketogenic ... basically low carbs, high fat and a bit of protein. I don't think every day I hit the macros, but trying to do my best and so far has worked .. I have started loosing weight again.

I thought it would be harder and contrary to what everyone thinks that Italian food is only carbs, is actually full of veggies, lean meats and healthy fats .... so I am actually enjoying what I am eating and drinking (love wine )

Stress is eating me alive, my brain is in survive mode. Which means I eat and dont remember, so I don't log. I'm hoping with school starting in less than 2 weeks and some big, important conversations and decisions about my nephew happening in those 2 weeks will release my mind from this stress, and with a school schedule come a regular routine.....I need that routine!!!!

Celebrated hubby's birthday a little too enthusiastically this past week (three day's worth of celebratory meals - lol). Still, my goal is to stay between 182 and 185, so today's 184 is not too bad. I do need to be careful, though as this can easily become a very slippery slope.

Next week we're off for another camping week in the Adirondacks. Typically, when we're camping my food choices tend to be awful, but still I tend to lose a little weight because of all the physical activity. Hopefully that will happen again this next time.

"See" you all in two weeks. My best wishes to ALL!
