I desperately need new work clothes, but I'm refusing to buy till I meet my first goal.
First goal Is 180, I'm about 197 now. I can't wait to go shopping!1 -

I’m relying on my limited supply of old clothes from thinner days to get me through this summer. I hope by next year I’ll be able to buy a whole new wardrobe in my goal weight size!

Sounds like your body was craving some protein. It’s honestly doesn’t sound like cave. Chocolate cake is a cave.1 -

Tracked: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: Nope, rest day.
I got on the scale today and saw I already met my goal for the week and still had 3 days left in the week. So I thought... why not just take the day off, no exercise today! I finished my day with a nice long soak in the hot tub and a glass of red wine. Back at it tomorrow but certainly enjoyed today!

Tonight I’m going eat dinner with friends for their 40th birthday celebration (twins). I’m hoping I can keep my calories in check today so that I can enjoy dinner tonight. No alcohol tonight. Tomorrow is a crawfish boil. The sodium combined with the alcohol (I know I will be drinking... it’s a crawfish boil lol) will lead to a significant amount of fluid retention for several days. Always does this to me. Sunday will be a day of downing water and moving my body as much as possible. Makes me feel better to think that I know what to expect and have a plan.
Have a great Friday, Slimsons!2 -

Weekly Weigh In
Username: tinak33
May Week 1
Previous Weight: 150.8
Current Weight: 153.2
That was mostly due to last night's amazing burger. hahaha
No regrets!!!
But it will be coming off (plus extra!) next week!
Life happens. This is all about losing weight, getting healthy and learning to live with the fact that sometimes, you will indulge and your weight will go up. But with control, diligence and patience, it will come down again, and you will feel amazing. Not just because you lost the weight. But because you were able to indulge without getting out of control.
Eating a burger one night and then thinking "well I already screwed up the week, might as well make it a good one" is not the way to do it. But eating a burger and then thinking "that burger was great! I might add some extra exercise the rest of the week and do some calorie adjusting, so my habits stay healthy" is better.
I love food. And I won't ever see food as just fuel for the body. My mind doesn't work that way. The taste and flavors of food make me soooo happy. But learning to enjoy even the 1300 calorie burgers, while still being able to lose weight makes the journey even better. And makes me feel amazing.
HAPPY THURSDAY!!!!
Great mindset, this exactly what I tell my friends and family when they try to criticize what I am eating.1 -

Had some van troubles.... and adventures getting a new engine. Had to spend some more money we don't have. Was about to turn back to food to drown my sorrows. I did snack, but on a 100 calorie bag of mini muffins. Helped the sweet tooth that came because of my stress today. Didn't get any walking in. Still have not been able to get up early in the morning. Maybe I need to rethink that and try another time to get some walking in.
On a side note, I have tracked my weight each day. So far it has gone in the right direction, minus one day. I think this weeks weigh in will be a decent one. Hope you all had a wonderful day and a great night! See you in the AM!
Seem we all had days such as that but with your renewed mindset and self-control you were able to conquer the day.0 -

Goals/comments
So I explained how I'm reevaluating my daily intake. Well one of the things I have to be mindful are my carbs. What I now do is put my recipe in MYFITNESSPAL beforehand to see how much carbs will be in the meal. Like yesterday since money is extremely tight; I wanted my Aide to make ground Turkey chili with veggies since I miss my beans. So I added only one can of black, pinto beans, diced tomatoes and tomato paste instead of the 2 I usually used (H7GE DIFFERENCE). Also realize it's best to hold the actual can of the item as the app can be way off on the calories.
Anyway although I was under my calories I didn't reach my 800-1000 goal only had 746 but I was full. My stomach is shrinking so much I don't need as much anymore which is amazing. Also I only went over 3 grams of my carbs 90 grams a day. Not bad.
So yesterday was a a good day foodwise Here'sa pick of my chili so good.
Still STAYING POSITIVE 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😍😍😍😍3 -
