Week 2
Thursday
PW: 181.4
CW: 181.8

I'll take it! I've been able to drop 2ish pounds in the past 2 days which I'm guessing means the vacation weight gain was primarily water weight. Considering the rate the scale weight is dropping, I'm confident that next week's weigh-in will be a loss!

@johicks he just turned 1 last week. He’s a blessing. Thanks hun. 🤗

I mentioned a recipe for easy ice cream for @Toyota100
Makes 2 servings, 98 calories each. Freeze a ripe banana. When ready to make, put the frozen banana in the blender with 1T peanut butter powder, and 1/3 scoop chocolate protein powder. Add just a touch of water to get it to consistency desired.


Also here is one for my favorite go-to, what I call a No Bake Fake
Thoroughly mix together the following:
3 cups oats
5 scoops of chocolate protein powder
1 C of water
1T Hershey’s Dark cocoa
8T peanut butter powder
1tsp vanilla

Spray an 8x8 pan with non-stick pan spray. Put the mixture into the pan. Cover with plastic wrap. Let it sit overnight. Cut into 16 squares. 131 calories depending on your protein powder.

So disappointed with that result. First gain of 2019! Food was good. Absolutely no treats. 4 solid days with exercise and a yoga class. Bah! I should manage a loss next week.

Daily Post (Thursday 4/10)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes, over 6 calories, that third chip. LOL I’m okay though.
Exercise: Yes, Glider 20 mins.; easier on knees than pounding pavement.

Daily Goals: ACHIEVED! 3 personal points~ for mindset with morning affirmations and improve my night routine/habits to stop after dinner binges. I’m getting a little relaxed on my routine. So either need to step it back up to not get lazy, or revise my plan to stay on track to avoid my creating bad habits of being okay with excuses. Now the KITCHEN IS CLOSED. Teeth brushed. And in bed.

A planned day doesn't mean that it's smooth sailing. It means that I can be better prepared for the bumps in the road, the detours, and the adverse weather. All of which are out of my control. Knowing this was a HUGE factor in me staying the course today. What did go as planned that I truly am pleased with is that I made a double-batch of my “no bake fakes.” And as planned I licked the spoon, counted it, and stuck the the food plan of the day. Saw chip on top of the fridge and first calculated my day. Then went ahead and logged three and ate them. Then drank a big glass of water to rinse my tongue clean. Then made more hot tea. So I went to bed super happy. And this morning….. It's not my weigh-in day, but I hopped on the scale to see if the lower calories did anything. I'm down a couple of lbs. I need to stay strong through the travels to/fro and during for the wedding this Saturday. Three-hour trip one way. I plan to pack my food so that the only "up in the air" is the dinner being served at the reception.

Daily Post (Thursday)

Track: Yes
Calories: Over
Exercise: No
Water: Not enough
Day: Was a decent day, so exhausted after work, made dinner, then fell asleep on the couch until bed time and was able to go right back to sleep once in bed. Maybe jet lag is catching up with me. Got back on track with calories, I have my goal set purposefully low on my diary because I know myself and I know I will go over by just a smidge regardless of where its set. So its set at 1200 but if I eat under 1400 I consider that a successful day! Where as if I set my goal higher, then going over a bit would result in 1600-1700 cals a day. Anyway, thats my little monologue about why I'm always posting that I went over calories on these daily posts, because I did based on diary settings. Excited for the weekend! Have a lot of social plans so need to stay on track as best I can during those. But as suspected the scale is already back down below weigh-in weight last week, so I am confident and happy heading into the weekend.

@johicks enjoy the wedding!! I have my grandsons 1 year birthday party tomorrow... carnival themed. 🤦‍♀️ will be watching what I eat during that. I don’t crave sweets so I’m not concerned about cake and other sweets, mostly beer and bbq, fried chicken, etc. I don’t want to blow my hard work this week. Fingers crossed, will be thinking of ya.

I saw my new psychiatrist today and my necessary refills so no psychosis for me this weekend. I also received my cleaning supplies in the mail and started using them. My ceiling fans are pretty clean now, some dirt on them, but fairly clean. I scrubbed my window sills and cleaned my doors, and my blinds. I gotta scrub one blind as the cat hair just wouldn't come off.
