Hi all!
Not much to share ... it’s been a slow week; have been exercising and trying to eat healthy ... did a new recipe yesterday, lemon chia muffins ... well they are gone already! Total success!
Husband is back from Germany so need to think what to prepare for supper or if we will go out ... but hopefully nothing too heavy ... plus it’s raining so a bit lazy to walk outside. Already loss some of the lbs gained from my binge on Monday but still not at my lowest.
Also even though I tried to be active I binged watch TV ... not sure why I love medical related shows so I bought Chicago Med new season and watched like 5 hours straight
@cellosmiles that is great you are enjoying the aquafit workouts so much. I saw this video on FB this morning of a spinning class in the pool and I was thinking that would be the perfect match for me .. I love water and spinning!
@jules81 every activity we do counts toward our goal .. ... so well done! Like I said ... we need to celebrate every time we do something good for us regardless if it’s 5’or 30’ ... the point is that you did it!
@cjbrummet if I had to work 15 hours I am sure I would not clean my house either ... nor cook, nor laundry ... only would think of a nice bath and my pillowHope you had a nice day off and could get your workout done.
Have a great Thursday!5 -
Thursday truth
Today I went out to eat for lunch and I had a big lunch with mashed potatoes for the first time in over a month. I only ate half the serving but I felt so tired and sick to my stomach afterwards. Not sure if it was the large meal or the potatoes but I sure regretted it. So I just had a very light meal (snack really) for dinner and have sworn off large portions for a very long time.
@happygirlxxx I love to binge watch shows I hate watching them on regular TV and have to wait for the next episode. But as a nurse my husband has band me from watching medical shows because I am way to critical of all the mistakes they portray and frequently scoff at the TV....lol
I wish everyone a good night just a short note tonight.1 -
Thursdays truth: this week I cut back on how much coffee I drink. I love cream and sugar in it but it's not worth all those calories everyday. By 7pm I'm crashing. As a bonus im getting more sleep and waking up more energized.I only had time for 1 workout this week because I'm so exhausted.. I do feel guilty. I was doing so well with making time for 3 or more exercise days. Anyone else have a similar situation? Please tell me it gets easier. Lol.1

Friday - Fitness (what are you doing to get fit? How are you preparing for weekend eating?
Today I am melancholy as I remember my brother G, who passed away in 2012 ... today he would have turned 65 ... an age he knew he would never reach in life. Not because of any other illness than morbid obesity. It stole his health, it stole his ability to be physically active by crushing his spine and eventually paralyzing his legs. It gave him uncontrolled diabetes, It gave him kidney failure, it gave him heart disease ... yes, it was heart disease that got him in the end ... and that was the day I vowed that I would take control of my own obesity because ... my brother and I were shaped just alike, except my brother was 12 inches taller than me. He was my baby brother. He was my best friend. I could talk to him about anything and everything. G ... I am 51 1/2 pounds thinner today than on that day you went to meet our parents and your favorite nephew on the other side.sis
Oh ... Friday Fitness ... To get fit, I am continuing to alter my food intake in small steps, learning to eat home cooking instead of take-out/drive-through/sit-down restaurant fare. I am also concentrating on being more physically active, preferably in the fresh outdoors. My weekend eating this week will be to use up that roast chicken that I made a couple of days ago by turning it into something else. In memory of my brother, probably a chicken pot pie, in keeping with my low-cal eating, crustless.4 -

@Nikion901 I'm sorry for your loss back in 2012. Your brother would be so proud of you! {{Hugs}}
@happygirlxxx I've binge watched Grey's Anatomy so I get it. LOL
@cellowsmiles Swimming is great exercise. Glad you are enjoying the pool.
@canyongeek Way to go with just "sniffing" those cookies! I'm not sure I could have been as disciplined. Pat yourself on the back!
Happy Friday everyone!3 -

Ugh... cannot wait until I can get this foot healed so I can get exercise. Food logging is consistent and really paying attention... just not losing and went up a tiny bit.

Friday Fitness
Well sadly I didn't make it to work out since Tuesday. I am definitely going tomorrow morning. I have plenty of excuses why I didn't go but in the end it doesn't matter why, I could have gone but found an excuse not to go. Fortunately I still lost weight this week. I will have to do better though.2 -
@bapcarrier hope you heal soon from your surgery; take care!
@b_lisieux me too!!my husband does mountain climbing and a couple years ago he went to Everest and to fill time while I waited I watched all the seasons available ... I spent days straight watching the show.
Saturday Success!
None ... yesterday I binged ... baked this decadent dark chocolate brownies with ganache and ate like a dozen myself (well at least they were low carb) and then ate a whole bag of frito lay potato chips (and not exactly a fun size) and then had pizza ... easily I was over by 1500 calories!!
The thing is I have these exams to be done on Thursday and I am so scared of the results. Every time I find something I think I am sick again ... I don’t know if I told you but had cancer 5 years ago ... so now I think everything is cancer ... I might be over reacting but the first time I got sick I was told not to worry and then the doctor what’s like oopsss you actually do have cancer .... so freaking out and of course coping with food! Today was up like 3lbs from yesterday
Anyway will try to relax and not think the worst ... sorry such a downer my post ... have a good Saturday!

Hi everyone. My name is Barb and I am new to this community thread but far from new to MFP. Started here in 2012 after suffering from a significant loss. Lost 50 lbs and then gained it all back with a bunch of friends! Lost a little over 30 and then it started to come all back on. Trying to find my motivation from 2012 in 2018 and not towards the end of the year but now. I am my worst enemy and I am the one who makes the bad choices. It is quite embarrassing what I have thrown into my mouth the past few days.
I need to start getting back into being in the community discussions and look forward to hearing all about everyone’s journey, good and bad.4
