Thursday check-in
Did pretty good. Made some healthy meals that should last a couple of days. Got home late, so had a late dinner again, but did not snack after dinner. Perhaps my goal shouldn't be close the kitchen at 7:00, but rather close it once we've finished supper. Goals for today, keep on track for calories and at least 40 minutes on treadmill.0 -
Good morning everyone. Sorry for the ramble, but I need to vent a little. I came back from vacation, gained weight while I was on it, lost it when I got back, and now gaining some of it back. I think my body is in overload mode trying to regulate itself again. My goal for this month is to get to 163. I weighed myself when I got back from vacation last week, and was 165. Now I'm 167 - going the wrong way. I'm trying to go slow, be healthy, and remember it's a marathon, not a sprint - but ugggggggggghhhhhhhhhh, numbers like that are so frustrating, and fluctuations make it worse. Fortunately it is still early in the month, so there's time to reverse course, and get those numbers back down. I'm hoping that by saying *confidently* I WILL do it, then it'll be put out in the universe, and come true.
On a positive note: I had a cheese bagel this morning, so to offset those calories I ate half of my giant sandwich for lunch, and pretzels instead of chips. I also gave up soda awhile ago (I used to drink at least 2/day), and no cream or sugar in my coffee anymore. These are small changes, but they add up.
* I WILL* get to 163 this month. I know it.
Happy losing everybody!2 -

Remember when I said there would be bad days. It was "off" from the start. Not bad, just off. I can't put my finger on it or describe it. After exercise, I started my day off with a bath. it felt good, but it now that I look back it was a symbol of the day. I just wanted to relax and be lazy. I'm glad I had all my food packed for the day, I didn't have to think. I did good and also planning to have a burger for dinner. But, then I wanted seconds. I didn't have them. Then the hubby got all upset about something and the night became "off." He went to bed. I should've come to the computer to write. But no I figured out what I could snack on instead, first with MFP app. Added it ate it. Then did it again. And one more time. I kept it my high limit and thought that the monster was tamed. Then it snapped and wanted more... it wanted those seconds! So, I finally had it!
Lesson learned... stick to the night routine and BRUSH teeth, write to MFP friends, and go to bed. OR... if you're going to crave seconds, then just log it and eat it. It's better than eating everything else, PLUS seconds!!
Okay... like I said I'm a work in progress. I am part of another challenge that only allows 3 pass days per month. So this will help me from the week-long binge cycles that I have had in the past. I'm really bummed because you all had such great comments waiting for me to read. THAT is why I love this team. THANK YOU!! That's does help me start the day new and fresh!!

I just don't understand how I stayed the same. My exercising this week was really intense and my food consisted of things from the food list at bootcamp. Although, I do feel stronger and can see how much more toned my tummy and arms are. But, hey I didn't gain so that's a positive 😎2 -
🙋🏽 🌅 😎 GOOD Morning!
I posted my Thursday, then went outside w/ my mug and watched the deer. Then did a really good 20-minute stretch as that is totally what my body needed this morning. I was on the floor stretching everything! Then I ate a good healthy breakfast and now I’m back to support you. This is the time of the month that I normally crack and don't do so good for a few days. This is when I said that I was going to take a deep breath and hit the re-start as if it was a new month, instead of saying.. oh you have x many days to make up for a few days "off." Well, that's an old habit that's going to die!
So, let’s get to work on fighting this fat! We can do this! Today is a brand new day and a fresh start towards a weekend full of opportunity to succeed. It’s up to you as to what will come of it!

@perla4686 ~ Your Thursday post… Good for you for being under and having a good mindset. Yeah!! AND. AND!! Your quick bounce back instead of a few days binge paid off! Wooohoooooo! Look at that loss. And in that smaller dress… 💃🏽 Yeah, you! So excited and happy. So… today focus on being good to yourself. Instead of food, a little “me” time. A bath? A few moments of quiet w/ a scented candle? Or try a new fruit or veggie? Switch it up completely. You got this!! Today is about a healthier you!!
@jupdyke~ Thursday… yeah for exercise! Good job on living harmonious and not snacking afterwards. Great control. 👍🏽 Thanks for the extra encouragement and support. I wish I had put a Bubly in the fridge to reach for last night. Oh well.
Speaking of Bubly LOL …. As Michael Buble sings in “Feeling Good”
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good
@ajaia2001~ I hear ya about a sore body. I don’t even workout as much as you; but my body need a good stretch. So I listened. Good for you for having another great day!! You are doing so great! As for the stay the same… you’re right.. You didn’t gain. Perhaps your body is “adjusting” to the new foods and exercise. I’m sure you talk to your trainers about your progress. They might have suggestions. You got this! 👍🏽
@skullsandskeletons~ Thanks. I hope I don’t overshare… lol You’re welcome. I hope you do get some quality you time. You’re doing great! 👍🏽 Another Tremendous Thursday!
@dillyg08 ~ Yes you can do it!! A same That’s okay, because that means you aren’t going backwards with a gain. 👍🏽 Keep working it! You got this!

Daily Post (Thursday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Way under
Day: Took a day off from work to handle some appointments, but that also meant I was running around all morning so didn't get a chance to eat. I got home around 230-3 and was planning to eat a late lunch, but I started reading a new book since I had the afternoon to myself and the next thing I knew it was well passed dinner time. I had made a little snack to eat while reading but definitely not a full meal. So had tons of calorie for dinner left and enough for snacks, but was so full from dinner and went back to reading that I didn't end up eating many snacks! Goes to show what happens when I'm distracted and not looking to eat snacks out of boredom!!! I need to remember that for the future.1 -

Week 2
Friday
PW: 170.2
CW: 169.4
WOOHOOO in the 160s again!! Feel very relieved and happy with that. The 160s have always been my happy place, where I feel more comfortable in my body and content. I do want to try to get down to an even healthier weight through this challenge, but I'm so relieved to be getting very very close to a place where I feel better about myself.2 -
Hugs @johicks. I can relate to having an "off" day or night, especially when my hubby gets angry. He never gets angry at me (that I'm aware of), but he gets so mad about tiny little things that happen, things that most people brush off after a minute. When he gets like that, there is a dark cloud over the whole house and I just want to misbehave (ie, eat, drink, cry, repeat). Sorry for the overshare but I wanted you to know that you are not alone!1
-
So I have a non scale victory, it’s very small but it’s huge for me! When I was at the store, instead of using my extra money to buy food I don’t need, I used it for a brand new shirt that makes me feel awesome and some makeup that I needed! This definitely makes me feel happier than buying food that I know I’ll regret eating in the long run. Baby steps 2

(Daily Post - Friday)
Track: yes and went over!
Exercise: I worked on my feet for 7 hours and walked around two stores for two hours!
Day: it went pretty good! I ate a little more at dinner than I wanted but it wasn’t a complete binge. It wasn’t complete seconds. Like half of a second. Progress! Tomorrow will be a better day!2 -

@jwall309 ~ Tremendous Thursday on being distracted. It’s amazing, huh!? 160’s!! Woohoooooo.. Nice loss. So glad you’re in a happy place about it, too. You deserve it. 👏🏽 You so got this!
@skullsandskeletons~ 🤗 hugs 🤗 Thank you for your words. I appreciate knowing that I’m not alone and that someone else understands. Yes, that dark cloud, plus hormones are not a good combination. Fortunately, I pulled myself back up and on track. And you…. Fabulous Friday! Going to bed instead of chips. Whoa! That’s great! I am enjoying cucumbers these days, instead of chips. I even dip them in salsa now!
@rawrxamberx~ I love NSV. Good job! Yes no need for extra food; but something that makes you feel good and reminds you to take care of you. Yeah, you!!! 👏🏽 Friday … You tracked, regardless of the outcome. You were honest with yourself! Good job. Yep.. today is a new day! You can do it. Keep working hard.
@germaine_yee ~ Nice. Staying the same is “weigh” better than a gain. Keep working hard.
There are a few regulars who didn't post for Friday.... I miss your posts. 1 -
WHOA!! This is some "food for thought!"
A “chip” substitute - thickly sliced cucumbers. I now dip them in salsa. And make a yummy dip w/ salsa, black beans, and non-fat plain Greek yogurt. It’s a snack that is a mini-complete meal. Yum!! ;P
Does anyone else have a healthy “snack” they are in love with recently?
