Congratulations to @nstephenson01 for being the triple crown winner and Congrats to @Shirin_K for being a runner up! Thank you to everyone who participated! Great job Ladies!!
@kirsten11872 I am glad you had a nice Mother's day. Sounds like you are doing well otherwise. Sometimes it is hard to fit a workout in but be sure to go tomorrow!
@Cafelelia Sounds like you had a nice Mother's day. I am glad you survived your root canal. @jedaschultz That isn't bad at all. Hope everything is going well.
@GingerPwr I know that you have been struggling lately but you do keep putting one foot in front of the other and have stayed with us. I like how you haven't given up on yourself and you are still trying to figure it out. Give yourself credit for that. Hugs to you!
@Julie8468 Nice day!5 -

I baked delicious cupcakes today for my daughters school bday snack.
I skipped breakfast and had one.
New me ate one and ate very clean for the rest of the day. Lean Steak, cut up steamed beans, home made beef jerky, rotisserie deli and tons of veggies.
Did upper body workout - back and triceps and felt accomplished.
Old me would have eaten 3 and then felt guilty but still turned today into a big cheat day and ate whatever.
I think I like the new me much better.

Molly, Skylynn and I came home and set our timer for 15 minutes. It’s amazing how much cleaning you can get done in a short period of time. That’s our focus for the week.
I’m back to eating large portions of vegetables and fruits. Interesting logging and tracking again. It’s educational. I went over on calories getting in my daily dozen. Might need to cut back on dd and save till maintenance. Still at 1600 for the day not too bad.3 -
daily checkin
Another sugary incident. I swear it is like the devil gets in me and takes hold. Now I have Coriene voice in my head saying you chose to eat it don't make it mean something it doesn't. She is right of course and experience has taught me that this is not the end of the story. I have 6 days to make it good but I just need to focus on today. Got a bit of a migrane today. I think my coffee may have had caffenine in it. The upside is I feel a bit sick and I am drinking lots of water.4 -

i believe that yesterday was amazing. i was not at work, and home alone and i ate like a normal person till dinner. i ate a trigger food at dinner, pizza. the bread makes me feel like i want more and more and more. this whole weekend was a success. i have felt more in control. my food is just a cast, it is not the wound. i am working on discover what it is that is causing me such pain. it is a lot. and i am afraid to deal with it with out counseling. the compulsion is not about the food. it is about saving myself from me. its deep! and all of this coming up now makes perfect sense. my mom is dying. it brings up so much about my past. she says she is sorry. hmmmm. it can't change what has happened. i will be kind to her in death. it is my revenge.
Today I will:
go to work
10k steps
60 oz water
journal

@Shirin_K i love your attitude! sometimes when family and friends get together is is difficult to not do what we have always done. keep practicing you new skills. you are doing great. just look at that new lady you are creating!!
@sleepymom5 ohhh i am so glad your nephew is a better house guest. and having fun and sticking to your plan is exactly the goal. take a mental picture of how that felt. you can use it later when things get tough. and no the reason i didn't journal is because when i did have time, jim was there. and i feel i need to be alone to journal. so thats why. i journaled yesterday. i won't share it, it was heavy! if you know what i mean.
@carlsoda i think you are doing amazing for being an introvert! you are learning so many new skills by reading. you are doing all the hard work to create the new you. i am impressed!!
i have to go exercise, i will catch up with the rest a little later.
Today is the day Team. Lets make a plan and stick to it!!5 -

It looks like today will be beautiful! Definitely getting outside for a walk or two and going to watch my son play baseball this evening. I have lots of things to get done around the house as well.
Today’s goals: Drink 64 ounces of water, 12,000 steps, 30 minutes of exercise/walking, log food and stay within calories. Yes, today is the day!

Good morning everyone! Yesterday I met with the nutritionist and we went over some of my problem areas which remains the same, consistency and worrying too much about the number on the scale. I do understand that with consistency comes change which would mean movement on the scale. I get so caught up in the number that I get frustrated somedays and motivated others, this emotional rollercoaster is no good. She told me to stick to getting on the scale on Mondays and only on Mondays, focus on my consistency and see what changes happen. Now to only stick to getting on the scale just once a week, I got on the scale this morning , I'm so hard headed. She also gave me a meal plan to look over and make some decisions on. I have not given it a good look through as of yet. I informed her that most days I feel like my calorie intake is too low so in the meal plans she gave me it contains calorie boosters that will help me get to my calorie goals.
She also told me about dessert hummus, I went out and purchased some brownie batter and vanilla bean hummus yesterday. I tried the brownie batter with an apple and I enjoyed it, plus it added 50 calories to my day.
Monday's Numbers
Water: 96 oz
Exercise: 55 min TurboFire and walking, 20,767 steps
Food: About 1,200 calories

Monday Check in:
Food - almost on track (will explain more below)
Water - great
Exercise - 10,000+ steps and yoga!
Yesterday overall was a good day. I'm back to getting myself off sugar again (yes again!!) so I allowed myself to eat when hungry but no processed foods. I'm trying to keep carbs around 50 grams or less and I finished the day at 72 which included 1/2 cup of white rice with my supper. My healthy fat and protein grams were pretty much on track! Today I'm mixing it up, had eggs and sausage with fruit for breakfast and I have a salad with some tuna and avocado mayo for lunch. Nuts and a grain free paleo granola bar for snacks. In a couple of days, things will settle down and sugar cravings will start to go away.
Today's plan:
Food - try to keep carbs at 50 or under
Exercise - today I'll try to get in extra steps - maybe I can hit 14,000?
Sleep - lights off and reading done by 9:30!
@nstephen01 – Amazing!! Great job!!!
@lenka1 – such cute cupcakes and great job just having one!!
@hope002 – good job yesterday! I love seeing your daily plan!
@Mrsbell8well – I started logging again and boy it really is educational! Good job on the 15 minutes of cleaning!
@amsandos – sorry you don’t feel well, hope you feel better soon! I know all too well about the sugary incidents – happens to me all the time 😊
@cyndiesstuff – you did pretty darn good yesterday! It’s good to have a plan to help keep you on track. Even as we deviate off the plan, it’s more a minimal than a whole day of gluttonous eating! AND…it’s great to look back and see what happened.
@shirin_k – good job yesterday and so glad hubs is done with his MBA? Is he finished/finished or finished for the summer? Have a great day and enjoy the lovely weather!
Have a good day everyone!!3 -
@gottagetthisdown - good meeting with the nutritionist. How about hiding your scale during the week. After your WI on Monday just put it away in a closet?
@cyniesstuff - sorry you're back at the hospital. Sending you hugs.1 -
Happy Tuesday everyone. You probably won't believe it, but I'm getting ready to go on another trip this Thursday to Memphis! It's kind of crazy how all these trips came up after tax season! I have managed to go to work in between the trips, but not too much! So right after tax season I went to LA to spend the holiday with my brother and sister in law and my sister flew in also (actually my sister used her Delta points to fly me to LA) (that is the first time since the 1980's that I have spent the Passover/Easter holiday with my brother and sister so it was awesome), then a friend and I found a great Groupon for a hotel on Mackinaw Island for a weekend. Then 8 girlfriends arranged a Las Vegas trip for part of a week and they are some of my favorite people to be with. Then this next trip is me taking a great friend to Memphis for his 60th birthday.
I noticed that since I had only gained one pound through all that - yesterday I was mentally in a bad frame of mind and ate the worst I have eaten in a long time. Basically just careless and almost trying to be bad. It's hard to describe, but I would have been perfectly fine having a healthy dinner - but chose some crap instead!! I need to get my head back into the game here. It is possible to go on vacation, live day to day normal life, and not gain weight. BUT, it takes me paying attention to what I'm doing and how I'm feeling, and what is going on in my head. I don't know if that makes sense to any of you, or if you have experienced that weird mental frame of mind - but it's really messed up!
Anyways, I'm trying to lift my spirits here and be excited for my trip to Memphis on Thursday - without being obsessive about food! It should not be all about food! I'm trying to give myself a pep talk and hope that maybe sharing my weirdness might trigger some suggestions from you guys. Take care and have a great Tuesday.8 -
