Haha I'm in the need for a real chocolate deterrent my self. Congrats on the 60 lost! Even if you have gained again - at least you know you can do it! That sounds great. I really need something to help me stay on track. Often I'm very dedicated a couple of days/weeks, but then life gets in the way and i forget all about my plans for weight loss.
Sorry to hear about your knee injury. But as they say - kilos are lost in the kichen, and only grams in the gym (or something like that
) 2 -
Hi all!
slipped and slid my way to work again. All our green grass covered in snow. BUT it should be gone in a couple days. Silly Mother nature!
Suzu- I was just wondering about Tracy and Runa. Hopefully Tracy is working and too busy to post
and I hope Runa is ok. And medical IT - wowzers. That is some tough stuff. I work in Health and Human Services and we touch on the fringes of EMR. can be mind boggling. Good for you!
Have a great Thursday!

Good advice Sara - I like that idea of leaving something for someone else to eat and put on the weight.
Thank you!!

@Tilliesmommy1 I made a gallon of tea for the rest of the week.
Luckily when I go out with my friend on the weekend she asks to go somewhere healthy if we go out and we typically make dinner for book club, her healthy habits bring out my own (or shame me into toeing the line hahaha)5 -

I am the same. Chocolate is my downfall. I check in here, every day. But, still can't stay on track.2 -

I think it's time to go lay down in bed and read a while.
See you all tomorrow~~

FRIDAY
Good morning,
TGIF most of all.
Last night was my night not to sleep. Couldnt get past my neighbor at work who is so loud I have to hum to create a barrier only to be told my humming irritates another neighbor - so if A causes B and B causes C why is A not addressed?
Only saving grace is that my workload is new again and a smaller one with fewer variations. Yes, rolling my eyes all over the place.
My lunch this morning (pre bought at store) was not sealed properly, so luckily I have a frozen entree.
Looking forwards and finding good things.
Wave to all who follow. Oh yes I will be lurking.1 -
Morning all!
Lynn! Saw posts about slipping and sliding into work and been watching the weather in your neck of the woods. I am SO sorry you got plunged back into deep winter. Was close to 80 here this week (Winter -->Summer... spring?? what is this spring you speak of??) Stormed here all last night so dog freaked and husband up with her. Clearer today and a little cooler, but 100% chance of storms again tomorrow and looks like tornado threats. Mamma nature doesn't like any of us one little bit.
Missy - How is the WW program going? I have to get back on track soon or else request a new zip code for my A**!!
On a lighter note... IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello!
Suzu - yikes I would love the 80's but not the storms. Good luck!
Sara- can you wear ear buds and listen to music? I had some reception staff that had issues with each other. Once chewed gum too loud and the other is hyper sensitive about noise. She found some peace when she started wearing one ear bud to listen to music. the other tried to be more careful with her loud chewing
Nothing planned for this weekend. good and bad. Will have to ensure I do not eat due to boredom. Yesterday I weighed in at 190.4. Would really like to slide down through that 190 mark!
Lurking...

Good morning Sara and Suzu and Lynn~~
Rainy day here - and I must return the rental car to RDU airport and take the bus back home. Yick. But that will clock some walking for me.
Question for All: What do you use to monitor your steps/miles walked per day?
I know nothing of this stuff, but need to get either a ring or pin or necklace or bracelet?
I prefer it be something NOT on my wrist. Also, not-expensive would help.

3DFitBud Simple Step Counter Walking 3D Pedometer with Clip and Lanyard, A420S
by 3DActive
was dollar less when I bought it.....maybe they got popular
I am looking for a nice sign to tell lady across from me at work to keep her voice down will ask Sup what she thinks. Seems I have to be so careful about everyone else, makes me wonder if I am invisible....... One ear bud might be the key thank you Lynn good idea.
Will wander off that way soon - upper 40's to mid 70's next week it will be 60-80 degrees and at least one day of rain.1 -
QFA - step tracking. We received fitbit zips through our work incentive program. I really like it- clips on my pants - I have to have pockets so I clip it so if it falls - it will fall into my pocket hopefully. Challenge - you have to keep track of it when changing. Not let it go through laundry. And with some waist bands that are not very stiff, it is more difficult to stay on. I too do not like things on my wrist. So this works well for me. fitbit brand is more expensive. But I am guessing the one Sara talks works the same. the zip shows me time and steps. Can add miles and calories, but I do not have it show me those - I just know how important steps are.

I don't really care for things on my wrist either. However, my boyfriend got me the Fitbit Charge 2 about three years ago. It only comes off my wrist for showers or charging. In addition to steps, I use it to track my sleep for my healthcare practitioner, estimate the calories burned during my other exercise, and as a relaxation tool with the breathing app. I absolutely love it! It's the older model. I bought him the Charge 3 last week and it has more features, including water resistance, that mine doesn't have. It is a little more expensive than some options, but worth it in my experience.1 -
QFA: I have the fitbit Alta HR. got it for free using points i get for filling out surveys. it doesnt bother me to have it on wrist. i have a ton of different bands, leather & plastic, that I can change out. i like that it tracks sleep and heartbeat so i can stay in the proper zone when exercising. previous to this, i had a Xiaomi Mi Band. it was inexpensive and could be worn on wrist, as necklace, or clipped on clothing with a variety of bands/pendants/clips. not sure how much they are now though. it was a great little gadget to count steps and exercises.2

Thanks Ladies!!
Keep the ideas coming......
This is good~~

Missy - That is great! Haven't been a member for years. Think I need to get my head back on straight.2

SATURDAY
Good morning.
Last night 9632 total steps.
Missy if I got the milestones from the WW lady (she didnt give them out regularly) I wonder if would have stayed with the program. You earned your prizes, so celebrate and enjoy. 20 pounds of pressure off knees - excellent!
Sleep has been sketchy last night so I hope to get more before day starts.
Lady from cafe gave me 2 doughnuts yesterday - what a week I had - so one yesterday and one today and make sure to get extra steps and water in.
Found out neighbor in cubicle blamed his mistakes on my humming - gee I didnt know I had that much power. Will try not to hum too much in the future....
Wave to all who follow. bbl.1 -
Good morning All!
Missy - That is very cool that you hit your 5 pound milestone!
It's also cool that it is presented in such an important and attractive and inspiring way these days.
Remember the understated little sticker-star that would get peeled off of a tape roll? This is much, much nicer - an attractive token that also would make me feel good about the money I am spending on the program. Seriously.
Sara - I think that your supervisor should be a boss and tell Mr. X that he needs to speak more softly (or whatever his problem is) as well as ask you not to hum. Jeez. Step up Supervisor and do your job.

For the next week or so, my project/goal will be to pre-plan and track the meals on the MFP Diary. I'm lazy, and it's a mental hurdle it seems to make that leap from tracking in paper journal to planning ahead and tracking in the Diary. For me, that's the key to results.
It's Saturday! What's everybody doing today?

7902 total steps
Dishes washed/fridge cleaned out and all I need to do tomorrow is cook after grocery shopping. So calories burned in kitchen... all of what 20?
Doesnt anyone realize that it takes a lot for me to even go out and get extra walking in, but they keep giving me advice on what I need to do. How many calories does it burn to kick someone in the ascot?
Lana - thank you that bull in the picture looks smarter than my coworker - oops claws back in
Will curl up with Miss T and a good book.
Wishing all a good night.1 -

SUNDAY
Good morning,
Proud of myself, played hooky from my to do list and watched baseball games on tv and knitted (someone else's tv) and then did all of my to do list except the cooking I need to do today.
Drinking Powerades just to make sure I am getting my liquids. Not a long term solution but better than not drinking enough water.
Wave to all who follow. bbl1 -
Good morning ~~
Time for more coffee...... Oh, Cabana Boy!
