@ajaia2001 ~ Again! 👏 Good for you for making that time for yourself to get to bootcamp! LOL Yes fish is hard to eat period. Two days of bootcamp AND 20 mins of elliptical. I can imagine you are tired. You’re doing great!
@JamieD328 ~ Hope that nap 💤 did your body good. We have a Great Wolf Lodge near us. Hope you are able to track and get in some “fun” exerise. Do your best to be mindful. Have lots of fun!!
@MaelynMayhem ~ Tracked, walked, and under. 👏 Great!! How exciting to be donating clothes!! I did that too the last time I weighed. And that helped me make sure that even though I gained, I wasn’t buying anything until I get back into what is already in my closet! And here I am slowly getting back into them. I hope their weightloss loss is also encouraging. It’s nice to have support in the family. Looking forward to Dr. report. HUGS.
@skullsandskeletons~ Glad you are posting daily. K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Silly. Sometimes I need to remember this.
@jupdyke ~ Thank you for the kind words and extra boost of support. Yes, responding on the phone can be very tedious. Hope mom is doing well and that you all enjoyed the pool. That’s some fun exercise!! Did you get in some laps? Safe travels home.
@pratainua~ 👏 Great!! 1# bye bye!
@germaine_yee ~ 👏 Great!! Going down, down, down!
@Fivepts ~ 👏 Great!! No big losses required. A loss is a loss is a loss!! You keep working hard at taking care of yourelf, overall health!!
@_cece_x ~ 👏 Great!! Nice loss!!
@johicks… read this!
Remember we are . . .
The three elements of what it takes to be successful at weight-loss and keeping it off are:
Run -keep moving
Track -know what you’re eating/ drinking
Mind -train your brain to be positive about yourself and okay with change(s).

Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Water: certainly not enough. Funny story, co-parent buys a new scale with functions I have never seen before. He programmed me in to show me what all it does, including showing how much of me is water. I choked when I read 33 percent... I redid it later on and found it was a higher number, but I really need to work on drinking much more.
Exercise: 45 minutes with the kids Taekwondo instructor filling in. Tougher workout, oddly enough.1 -
Daily Post (Thursday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Under 1321 / 1390
Exercise: No
Water: Not enough, bought some more diet soda....i love that stuff. One of the things I'm not willing to give up
Day: A pretty decent day. TOM is coming to an end and its starting to show on the scale and in my mood! Down even more from weigh-in day yesterday so going into the weekend on solid footing. I'm really focusing on tightening up my weekends, so will continue to focus on that this weekend. BF will be out of town and many friends are also out of town, so that should help with staying on track this weekend, but I need to learn how to maintain my social life and my weight loss journey. Still trying to figure that one out!
@johicks You're right! I need to figure out how to incorporate more exercise into my routine. I've been using the excuse that my work schedule should be changing to something more conducive for incorporating the gym in July, but really I need to find a way to prioritize it regardless of my schedule. I'll try to think about that this weekend. My BF is also trying to live a more healthy lifestyle, and while he doesn't really track his weight to know how that has changed, his muscles are definitely getting bigger and more defined. And he hasn't even changed his eating habits drastically! I'm jealous, so I need to definitely focus on incorporating exercise in the coming months.1 -

Daily Post (Friday 10/5)
Track: yes
Calories: Over - 1600/1500
Exercise: not enough
water: lots
Daily Goals:
I think I’m generally managing to stay within my calorie goals although, little handfuls if midget gems (little sweets) are the devil to me at the moment. 130 calories of nothing but I enjoy them so I’m letting it go. This means I’m not drinking anything but water and the odd coffee so still within my calories. Did a little bit of walking but still on bedrest until the end of the month which is driving me nuts. I’m desperate to exercise and feel like I’m going to be starting from scratch on building my stamina which is heart breaking. Still I managed to get on the scales midweek and saw that I’m losing still so looking forward to my weigh in on Sunday because I think my weight is still going down despite all this. Also didn’t get the promotion I was going for but I wasn’t surprised, I didn’t really feel up to it on the interview day so what’s meant to be will be. Focused on my recovery!2 -

@JamieD328 I’ve been working on my water intake after buying one of those scales, complete with app so there’s no getting away from it lol... I’ve found that carrying a bottle with me a aiming to drink one and hour helps me. That way I gauge how much I’ve had also I tie it to things I like so I won’t have that cup of coffee until I’ve drink 2 bottles of water. A word of warning though, I was unwell recently and the dr said I’m drinking too much water which is diluting my electrolytes- I didn’t know that was a thing but apparently it is. I’ve had to boost my electrolytes once per day. I’m feeling good now!1 -
Daily Post - Friday (5/10)
Internet was down last night
Track: Yes
Calories: Under; Limit: 1500/Actual: 1428
Water: 31 cups
Exercise: Walked to and from Transitions, pushed my grandmother's O2 tank around Walmart, did squats in the bathroom holding the last one while waiting for my grandmother in the bathroom
Day: Saw my psychiatrist and she put me on four new things. She has added wellbutrin, vitamin D 5000 IU, vitamin B12 500 mcg, and benadryl for sleep. It'll take 3-6 weeks for it to all get together and work on the issue at hand, but still it's progress, and a complete med change would take longer for an effect. I talked to the pharmacist and the wellbutrin and effexor together for the first week may make me super alert like I just drank a large, really strong cup of coffee, but that effect will fade. I spent most of the day with family again. We ate lunch, and went to Walmart. I got some new clothes for the summer. Helped my grandmother about the store. She got some pants. My brother surprised me by paying for everything, which helps my grocery budget for the month, he paid almost three hundred dollars. I got home in time to cook dinner and relax a bit, so no organized exercise, probably won't be any for Saturday either. Sunday my brother is gone and things return back to normal.2 -

Okay… I said I wanted to increase my exercise w/resistance. It happened one time this week. So today I am going to start incorporating those bodyweight exercises that I posted. Here is what I CAN do. I’m going to create my own little workout and make it into sets. I’ll start with one set; then work my way up with reps and then more sets. I CAN DO these in my home or on my deck in the sun. No gym, no equipment.
Row 1 - #1, #3, #5, #6, #7
Row 2 - #1 (half-jacks I can’t jump), #2, #3 (against a door), #4, #5, #7
Row 3- #1 (attempt), #2, #3, #4 (?), #5, #7
I think this will be a good app to use!
@ajaia2001~ 🙌 Awesome loss! 👏
@JamieD328 ~ Friday- FriYAY! Interesting water information.
@jwall309~ Good ThursYAY!! 👏 You don’t have to give up soda. Could you convince yourself to drink 1 -16oz soda, then 1 soda; then water, then soda; etc. and so on? Just a thought. Yes, my roller-coaster ride is coming to an end, too. It feels like a weight lifted, right!? AAAAHHHHH!! 🙌 Did you see the post of the bodyweight exercises? No gym, no equipment needed. Just you! Time for yourself! NICE!!
ALL: Creating a plan for socializing will be something that you will use for a lifetime. When my co-workers and I used to go out 2-3x month, we’d rotate restaurants. I started to have one or two go-to meals that I ate and one drink (usually a bloody mary!) and had it logged into MFP. It’s pretty cool that we can utilize MFP in that way. I named my meals starting with the abbreviation of the restaurant, then shortened the item’s name or items. I always try to have a dinner salad w/ vinegar and pepper for dressing; no croutons, no cheese. That is a filler with hardly any calories. Then meat, then rice, and steamed veggies. OR a big yummy salad with dressing on the side. Do you know the trick for dressing on the side? You put your bite of salad on your fork and put a tiny dip of dressing on the bite; touch that dressing bite to your tongue first. It fills your tongue with flavor. You should be able to use half the dressing. It may take some trial and error to figure out what works for you when dining out or going out. I’ve learned that the most important thing to remember is that it’s ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP, not the food/drink. Enjoy and relish that camaraderie.
@rachelgoff3716 ~ Hang in there! Overall for the month, you’re still at a loss. I too may have a gain this week, but we are not giving up!! Right!? RIGHT!
The goal is to lose for the month of May! Yes, we can!!
@jupdyke~ I would have a hard time leaving mom, too. 🤗 You’re a good daughter for being there for her. FriYAY! Lots of walking, under, and tracked!!
@lovethyneighbor ~ I applaud that you don’t move up/down so drastically. I’m all over the place! Keep working.
We got this!!
@j0d13mcc ~ You are inspiring because you ARE NOT giving up! You are healing and anxiously waiting to exercise and get back up to normal. Your attitude is awesome. Thank you for sticking with us and being here through the hard times. I’ve heard that people can drink too much water, depending on the person. Our bodies are fascinating.
@MaelynMayhem~ I did a quick read before bed last night; but only liked, no comments. I was worried that I didn’t see your post. Glad you were able to post this morning. Squats! Good use of time. When I think about it, I do lunges up and down my hallway on weekends. Oh good… progress and family time. YAY! Do your best. 🤗

Tracked: yes
Calories: over by 1000!
Exercise: no
Friday night was a goodbye celebration for a friend. I intended ahead of time that I was going to have whatever I wanted and not worry about it, but still log it to stay accountable. Mission accomplished! Although I was over by 1000 calories, I refuse to let it bother me or cause me to slack off. I enjoyed myself and now I will get back to my routine!2 -

A sound plan!! 👊 Because we will always have celebrations; being mindful that it is a one-night "thing" is an awesome mindset!! 👏

Daily post Saturday 11th May:
Tracked: yes
Calories: 1500/1550
Exercise: Yes - walked 5km.
It was Richmond Mayfair today which means fun and frolicks...Man do the people of Richmond know how to have fun! There was plenty to eat and drink and loads of fun fair stuff to go on, there was music and dancing, the sun was out and it felt really great to lie on the grass and watch the world go by. I managed to stay within my calories, I think. I had a burger at the festival and then we went out for dinner on the way home. I hit the calorie target and got some exercise in. I think tomorrow will be a super healthy day because there was alot of fat in my diet today!! I loved it though - we had a great time!3 -
Daily Post - Saturday (5/11)
Tracked: Yes
Calories: over, Limit: 1500/Actual 1543
Water: 22 cups
Exercise: 30 squats, held last for 22 seconds, that's it
Day: The Benadryl worked for sleep last night, taking it a touch later tonight so I don't crash out at 8 pm. I pretty much stayed asleep as well. I spent the majority of the day with family again, and we gave my grandmother her birthday gifts and cards along with her mother's day cards. We ate at Applebee's and a I had shrimp lime something salad. It was okay, it was 520 calories. We'll see my brother, his wife and their little ones at the end of August. So it'll be awhile before I have do the restaurant dance on the menus to get food. Tomorrow I'm back to regular exercise and routine. I'm still having symptoms, but again it'll take weeks for those to go away.2 -

Weight down a little. Didn't exercise regularly last week or eat consistently healthy. However, I plan to stay focused this week. I want to be under 220 by the end of May still. I have a desk job. I use to have my own office until the beginning of January. I would do exercise tapes. We moved to a newly built hospital and now I have a cubicle. It's in a high traffic area and it's noisy all day long. Sometimes I try to do my exercise tape if I get to work early or stay late when nobody is there. My productivity and employee morale sucks now. I try to work different hours and go to another hospital that I share with the Medical Director to get my privacy.
I'm not giving up though. I'm going to keep pushing and try to stay positive.3 -
