Today, I celebrated this morning’s weight, marking exactly 25 pounds lost. I gathered all ( and I mean ALL) of the clothing and jackets that are now swimmingly loose and delivered them to our local thrift shop. No more “just in case” clothes for this girl! (Lady.) (Okay, old lady.)

Woohoo!!! Congratulations!

Monday check-in
Weight 137.8
Think I was 137 last Monday
Calories under
Exercise recumbent bike

Scale is up, I'm trying not to care but of course I do. I'm having a health problem I've been trying to ignore and finally made an appointment to get things checked out. I have to see a male doctor, hate that for women health problems! They rushed to get me in so now I'm nervous, though there's nothing I can do about it that I'm not already doing. Planning on killin it in the gym today! Have a great day everyone!

Hope everything is ok!

Your body ( and mind) will LOVE that choice, Teresa!!! Do not give your personal power away to ‘situations’ (dinner parties and suppers). Give something to yourself: the knowledge that you matter more!!!!!!!!

Thank you!! And yes you are right that it's about my personal power and not about the power that food wants to have over me. I really loved that Mika Brzezinski quote you posted as well about giving up her attachment to sugar. That has been a real struggle for me as well and I like thinking about how when I give in to sugar then I'm denying myself the chance to be healthy and in control of my choices. That is cool!

Monday Check in:
Calories: under and right at 20 net carbs
Water: over
Exerice: 45 minute cardio program on my treadmill and I obeyed my Fitbit and got up every hour and did my 250 steps.

Last night I made my first Fathead pizza and it was soooooo good!! Hubby loved it too and neither of us could eat all three pieces on our plate so I had the leftovers today when I opened my window after fasting for almost 20 hours. If you don't know Fathead crust you can Google or look on Pinterest. It's VERY popular in the Keto world and my new favorite thing!!

That pizza looks absolutely delicious, Teresa! If you’re interested in learning more about Mika and her sugar challenge, you might enjoy her book “Obsessed: America’s Food Addiction—And My Own”.

Take care and don’t worry about the scale at the moment. It will work itself out once you get this health problem in order.

Having one of those can’t-get-out-of-my-own-way, wound up, munchy, food-focused days🙄. Haven’t gone over but coming close. Must be the weather☔️... and cancellations of tennis x 2 days. Yuk.

Water: over
Exercise: 45 minute walk on the treadmill

I went to Aldis today. I haven't been there in ages because it was a yucky store but I read that it had been completed renovated so I went to check it out and I was very pleased!! They had grass-fed beef, chicken, and butter! The produce looked amazing and I got a dozen eggs for 77 cents! I also picked up several varieties of cheeses and some coffee. Their K-cups were so cheap that we were leary but after having a cup this afternoon we were very pleased! I have to find ways to save money because with all my weight loss that is about to happen I need all the money I can get for new clothes!!

I love your attitude about saving money for new clothes! Sounds like a great haul at Aldi's, I wish I had one! There's something awesome about getting a bunch of good food for a great price that really feels wonderful!
