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!1 -
Daily Post (Wednesday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: Yes! First meaningful exercise I've managed in about a month! BF and I played 40ish minutes of tennis at the outdoor court near our house. Only stopped for water break once in the middle, so I was definitely tired at the end!
H20: stopped tracking my water intake, so need to get back on that
Goal: Continue getting back to regularly scheduled programming with eating and activity.

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.

Track: yes
Calories: Yes; goal 1370, food 1080, exercise 209, cal remain 499
Exercise: yes
Goals/Day: was a good busy day at work. No temptations. Went to gym afterwards and began my workout based on my trainers recommendation, on my own... I did well, did all the exercises on my sheet and added one more. Enjoyed the hydro-message bed afterwards. Got home, had dinner, had snack at 8:30 and went to bed. 😄2 -
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.1 -
Daily Post 4/11 (Thursday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Goal: 1500/Actual 1003
Exercise: Zombies, Run! (No Future) walked extra to hit an hour, walked during commercials and hit over 20,000 steps for the day
Water: 26 cups
Day: Internet was spotty again (which is why I'm posting this now), but was pretty active. I won first place in a nutrition trivia in Nutrition 101 class. I like the prize I won. It's a picture of four doughnut, and it says, "Donut kill my vibe." The day was alright overall. I picked up my meds from the pharmacy and walked to and from Transitions. That hill is getting easier each time.2 -

@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.1

Daily Post 4/12 (Friday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Goal: 1500/Actual 727 (Fast day until 5)
Water: 26 cups
Exercise: Yes, Walked during commercials from 9 AM until 6:45 (except for the brief time I was out for a doctor's appointment)
Day: Came in 2nd in a race on Fitbit, just barely squeaked it before someone else checked in. We were neck and neck all day. I'm pretty certain I will win my other Fitbit challenge. 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.1 -

Daily Post (Friday 4/11)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes, under 179
Exercise: Yes, Glider 17 mins.
Daily Goals: ACHIEVED! 3 personal points~ for mindset with morning affirmations and improve my night routine/habits to stop after dinner binges. COMPLETED some sort of exercise!
I had left extra calories for the night not knowing what Friday and hubby would bring. And I’m glad I did. I enjoyed ONE slice of pizza and stayed under calories. He almost “egged me on” to eat it. Ugh! I hate FOOD is “awesome” mentality. I wish I could get over it too. But on a positive note, he did say this time around I’m not being overly grumpy or overbearing. So this time should stick for a long time!!

@LilyGrace ~ Hope the 16:8IF works for you. I sorta do that. I start my morning out with protein creamer in my coffee; then eat solids around 9-10am. Whatever works and gets you to consume less calories, it’s great!! Keep that positive attitude.
You will do it!
@jwall309~ Great weigh to get back on track! So proud of you! I find when I consume my 8-10 waters /day; I am less hungry. And the mind games we have to play with ourselves, right!? LOL I make sure to not log my exercise, as I don’t want to see those extra calories... I’ll eat them! Ha! Good luck with your social plans. I’m off for a wedding today. With a 3hr drive one-way, it’s going to be a lot of stops if I’m going to stay hydrated. Me & mom going.
@ajaia2001~ 1hour of boot camp. Wowsers!! Big hugs. Losing family is so hard. Sucks to get older. Hope your memories keep you smiling on those rough days. Way to go on that big loss!!
@Fitgirllife72~ Crushing it with those double workouts. Yikes. Friday munchy/ cravings. I feel ya! Hubby brought home pizza. How did ya do? I had ONE piece and had saved extra calories, just in case. I was still under and felt satisfied. Hopefully, you are not getting sick. Take care.
@Pratainua~ <<hugs>> Gains are no fun! Our bodies are so complex. On the positive side, you have done GREAT this year, all those weeks after weeks losses. Yes, you will manage a loss next week.
@Tomkinsone~ Nice workout on the 11th - w/o the trainer. Oooooohhhh a hydro-massage. Another good workout on Friday! And oooo how those Epsom salt baths help. You’re killing it!! Have fun today. How fun- a carnival themed bday. So have you found an alternative for beer? An NA or something? I’ll be thinking of you too. We can do this!!
@MaelynMayhem~ 26cups of water. Wow! Glad you can make here with spotty internet and all. Congrats on winning the trivia game and making that hill easier and easier. You’re doing great!! You ARE going to win that Fitbit challenge!! Keep stepping. Spring cleaning - feels so good!
@dillyg08~ Congrats on the loss. Hope you’re being away is a joyful away. Stay strong and focused.
@lovethyneighbor~ Keeping track, at least you know the reason. Good luck... Stay focused and on track.
@germaine_yee~ HUGS. Stop in and let us help. You are not alone.

Sorry I missed the last 2 weeks, was actually on vacation.
So on paper it looks like I didn't lose anything, but I was actually retaining massive amounts of water and weighted at 236 last Sunday. Glad to be back down to 223 by Friday lol.1 -
Hey All, sorry I’ve gone a bit quiet this week. I’ve been travelling and planning my sons 18th birthday. It’s been a tough week on the logging front. I’ve been keeping within my calories but not tracking in the app. I’ll be weighing this evening though so proof will be in the numbers.... eeek!2

Sorry for the small loss gang. Cat woke me up early so the weigh in is actually more than my current weight but he wouldn't let me go back to sleep. The April snow apparently he decided was worth my attention.0
