Felt good to be a busy-bee around the house with the energy of the link energized bunny. Yeah me. I sat down for only a couple hours doing computer stuff and just now sitting down to watch a movie with hubby. He's eating, AGAIN!! But, I've brushed my teeth, washed my face, and put out the two shirts and pants I want to wear soon, as a reminder to keep my mouth closed. Have a good night.

Daily post Sunday
Tracked: mostly, except leftovers from the kids (gotta stop doing that)
Calories: under if including workout calories
Excercise: C25K week 4 run 1. Very challenging!
I hope I'm back but we shall have to wait and see...
Not the best food choices today, too many snacks, but I've had worse. Trying to stay in the zone.

Daily post Sunday June 16:
Tracked: yes
Calories: right at the goal limit
Exercise: no

I had to skip dinner because earlier I snacked on too much Chex mix that hubby bought. That stuff is really high in calories for a small amount! I need to find a place to put his snacks so they are out of my reach.

Alrighty... weight stayed the same. I’ve been sipping wine in the evenings and likely that’s not helping. Had a great wknd finally and going to try hard this week to get moving more and start that scale going down. I have an event this week where I’ll be around my partners ex-wife so I really wanted to look great! She can be quite snotty so I just wanted to smile and look fab. Was hoping to lose another 5 lbs but that didn’t happen- but my haircut looks cute lol Oh the things that motivate us hey?! Lol

Have an awesome week everyone!! ❤️

Had some days off. I was able to relax. Went to Indiana Beach to amusement park. Wolfe Park where you go see wolfs howl at night and Blue Man group. Now back to work in morning. Meeting went great with my manager last week too.

Daily check-in
I am hosting15 teenagers for a month so it's pretty wild. I live in a tourist area and my kid's friends and our relatives love to hang out at our place, especially in the summer. I have managed to stay away from flour and sugar but am still guessing on how much I am eating, rather than weighing. I know I am overeating on carbs, which I like to keep low but I am proud that I am at least I am back to guessing and writing that down. Once I fall off the wagon, it takes so long to get back on. I need to work on a quicker recovery. It has been at least a month since I have been recording accurately.

I feel for you! I find getting back on the wagon a real struggle (takes me on average about 3 weeks). Any tips you can share?

@Fivepts and @Perla4686 have either of you set a goal and reward for tracking? Let's say.....
Goal: track no matter what for the rest of the month, every bite.
Reward: a new lotion, candle, book to read....?! Something you want that's only a few dollars. But... Want to work for it and earn it. (Non-food)

🙋🏽 🌅 😎 Good morning! I got a great start to my day with a morning workout, almost first thing! YES! Feels great. And the sun is shining, so that should help with a few walks today.

@jupdyke~ Darn weather. But Yoga is good too. Yeah, you. Sounds like a great Sunday. And a great weigh-in! Woooohooooo! Hopefully, the weather cooperates for some good runs this last full week of school. You just might hit that goal!
@Perla4686~ Hello there! Thanks for sharing. Can you make mini-meals and freeze the leftovers to have for lunch the next day? Add some frozen veggies to make it more healthful. Or is it not that much and you hate to see it go to waste? So if it’s the latter, it can go to waste or to the waist. You’re doing great with exercise! You’re right on the verge of a great breakthrough! I just know it. I can feel it.

❓IDEAS…. For what to do with leftovers? How about feeding teenagers and have “their food” around?

@jwall309 ~ Oh fun! Trying on clothes to for an NSV. Exciting. I like doing that with the clothes in the back of my closet… lol. A good Saturday… yeah! Nice Sunday breakfast. My Sunday breakfast is “yummy” and healthy. Finding balance…. I treat myself to one slice of Cinnamon/Raisin French toast, veggie & egg scramble, and berries smashed to put on my french toast. Sometimes peanut butter on the french toast and/or some breakfast meat. I LOVE breakfast! Awesome Sunday!!! That is a very exciting way to start out the week. Let’s do this!!
@skullsandskeletons~ A decent Sunday. I have an oval basket that has 6-8” sides on top of the fridge. I, of course, can reach it, but it’s out of sight. Whenever he brings home his carby snacks, I out them up there.
@ajaia2001~ Hope you’re feeling better. You got this!
@LuluLovinLife ~ A same is better than a gain. It’s too bad that she’s snotty. Chin up and do your best. Just for Today!
@Hey3432 ~ I’m glad you remembered to post a weigh-in. I’d hate for you to be disqualified. You’re doing it!
@Toyota100~ Yes! A Loss! So glad you had some time off and some R&R. Phew! Good meeting with your manager. Here is to a new week!
@JammyPea~ Awesome loss! Good for you on getting in the exercise. Yes, those last minute outings can getcha. Hope you use MFP to log those restaurants or outings to be able to save the good choices for future last minute outings. You’re doing great!

Thanks for that! Love the bolded! Yes, I find it hard to throw away food, especially home-made, all that effort in the bin. If I'm honest with myself, I probably eat about double the portion I log at dinner. Need to change that mind-set. I hope you're right and I'll finally break out of this slum. I'm not sure....
But thanks for the thumbs-up!
