I will take any loss! It actually wasn't my lowest weight for the week. I am hoping it is because my carbs were on the high side the last two days. I was so exhausted yesterday that I decided to take a rest day but still wanted to be sure to get my steps in. I did ok with that. Today, I am hoping to do a quick walking tape, may only be 20 min. I have a lot to do before my "brunch" tonight. I still have no plan, I may just have a little of everything and then GET RID OF THE LEFTOVERS! That is usually my biggest problem. I doubt I will have a chance to get on later so I will post the weigh in information this am.

I hope MFP is fixed tomorrow. But as @carlsoda reminded us-it is free. I am so glad we can still get in on the community pages though. I would be lost without you all! xoxo .

@mrsbell8well You have such productive days! It must have been nice to have another person notice your progress!
I am also going to think of my No No’s and yes Yes’s. I know one big No is peanut butter. And one yes is my Greek yogurt. I like the no’s are more a caution than a flat out no.
@lennoncpa Nice loss!! glad you got through your business lunch. I am so bad about speaking up but it seems like when you do. It is no problem and it seems like a lot of the times you get something really good!
@bbcbw I can’t help with the smoothly but maybe with the 3 miles. Do you get Youtube over there? There are Leslie Samson’s walking videos. 3 miles is 45 min. She goes quick, it is a fun, easy way to get steps in.
@mandi5512 Sometimes you don’t have control over where you end up. You did great picking healthier options instead of giving in and having the usual fast food.
@cassiegetsfit2013 it sounds like everyone is having problems. I was hoping it would have been fixed today. Hope all is going well.
@amsandos. I think the important thing is to stop yourself from spiraling. You had a bad day on Wed, just don’t let that bring you down until Sunday. We are human. These things happen. Just get back on track. Make a plan for when your family is here. Watch your portions, skip the bread basket and dessert or just have a small portion. If you get off track, don’t beat yourself up, just pick yourself up and get right back at it. You can do it!
@carlsoda you are doing awesome! I had to lol at your response to Mrsbell-I often wonder why it took me until my 50s to start figuring it out. Lol!
@eyesopennow-nice loss!
@cyndiesstuff-another great day! And ugh! And it is Friday. What happens if they don’t finish?

@bbcbw My favorite detox smoothie is from Medical Medium. It is a heavy metal detox. It's not for everyone but I love it. 1 cup frozen wild blueberries, 1 frozen banana, 1/2 cup cilantro, juice of 3 oranges (I use my citrus juicer), 1/2 teaspoon barley extract, about 1/8 to 1/4 cup dulce (seaweed) and 1/2 teaspoon spirulina. I drink this when I am coming out of a cleanse or just a pick me up. I drank this yesterday and this morning. I can just feel the goodness flooding through my system.

My morning starts with 16 oz of filtered water with 1/2 or lemon or lime. This itself is a great detox. And when I am serious I follow it with 16 oz of fresh celery juice. It usually takes 1 bunch of organic celery.

These potions are for those seeking some serious detox and renewal.

Hope you all are feeling better.

If I feel cold symptoms I immediately start a zinc lozenge program. It really does help to stop or shorten the symptoms.

Sorry you guys been a very busy week. I'm just gonna do a breif update of this week. Monday and Tuesday i had doctors appointments and physical therapy. My physical therapist wants to decrease the amount of days i go so my insurance can continue to cover it. And also he notice I've become stronger. So that's a big plus for me. But it's still only temporary relief when i go. Wednesday i went to see my therapist and it went well. We just talked about staying busy and being active which i have been. And then i went the mall and walked atleast the equivalent to 2 miles. I was over 4000 steps above my usual goal. Then on Thursday i helped my best friend move into her new place so that's another work out!!! So now I'm looking forward to enjoying my weekend ! Hope everyone enjoys theirs !

We all have bad days @amsandos . Spend some time and refocus.

Fitting into size 12 jeans yesterday was a major moral booster. Steps were a bit low as I needed a part rest day but otherwise on track. Scale was kind this morning... 175.2 which means 45 pounds lost! Yea Baby!!

@cyndiesstuff That's my plan plus extra hydration throughout the day to make up for the couple glasses of wine I'll no doubt have. Definitely don't want to show up with an empty stomach. I will give some thought to your new habit post. Right now keeping it simple and sticking to the basics seems to be working during this busy month. Today is strength training + dog walk. Full day planned so gotta run.

Happy Saturday team!!

I get alerts from the bell that someone liked my posts that is automatically added when diary is conplete, so their page must be fixed. Mine isn't, "newest post" is 3 days old. This sucks! When is it gonna be fixed!? It's just annoying me, lol. Firing up my irritabliness, is that even a word, idk!
