I got my ears slapped back yesterday, I know why, I had a binge on carbs last week. As a result of my disappointment. I went to Physical therapy and before I went in I had a small coffee and a fat slice of banana bread (cards), then I had to drive my husband to Brigham & Women's in Boston and on the way we stopped for lunch, I had a crispy chicken sand & sm. fry (carbs), for dinner I grabbed a protein bar. It could have been REALLY worse than that. Now that my temper tantrum is over....back to diet.
celticck - I know your pain, I'm right there with you. Hold on girlfriend, we can do this !
I am also cursed by having plantar fasciitis right now in my left foot. I've had it for a year now, When I went to the 4th Dr. to see why my muscles and tendons are shedding and are ripping off my bones, I brought up my foot. He suggested finding something about 12" long and 1" high, put both feet on it (just the front half) and lean forward for the count of 10. This will stretch the muscles in your foot, then ice it. I filled one of the small plastic soda bottles with water and keep it in the freezer just for this purpose, I roll it under my foot while I'm sitting at my computer. Hopefully this will get rid of it. Like yourself, the first thing all the Drs said was loose weight.4 -
Today could have gone a lot worse. I did have a donut and it was very good, but now I feel sick to my stomach. I am also very tired. Need to run to the store for more carrots - we ran out... and then home to work out. About 1350 calories for the day. even with sitting for most of the day I already have 5000 steps. My workout won't count steps and I am fine with that I know I will kick butt. then to bed.
@ladycopnh1 - I had it in my rt foot it is now in my left, probably from compensating for the rt. Those are good ideas. I will try them. Thank you,2 -
Hello everyone. I’m happy to be logging in today with a successful day! I actually tracked all of my food for the first time in a long time. I just finished dinner and I still have 250 left! (Thanks to my son who ate most of my sausage that was the most calories on my plate lol). I think I’ll enjoy some blueberries and yoghurt before bed. I’ve been eating so much junk food for the last 6 months, my body is going to be shocked lol.
I didn’t do any exercise but I had a decent amount of water! I’m trying to cut back on caffeinated teas but I’ve been struggling with being tired throughout the day, but after having a tea I need to have food in my stomach otherwise I feel nauseous. So cutting back will really help me eat less!
Tonight I’m going to plan recipes for the next few days and see if I have to make a trip to the grocery store while my son is in daycare tomorrow. And maybe get in a walk.
(Sorry for all my random thoughts, it’s helpful for me to write down my plan as it makes sure I’m actually thinking about things lol).
Thank you for creating this group. It’s exactly what I needed and I love reading about others’ strategies/goals/struggles and support.
Have a great evening everyone.5 -
@bdashnay: We brew decaf tea and keep it in quart canning jars in the fridge. That's not too heavy to manipulate to pour, and one knows exactly how much one is drinking. And it's easy that way because it's convenient. I have a rule that I only have tea with my meals, and drink water in between times. If I drink hot tea in the morning and one glass of water over the morning (24 oz glass) a glass of tea at lunch and another 24 oz of water over the afternoon, and a glass of tea and an last 24 oz glass of water, I have my water goal met, and I'm not drinking so much tea I get shaky. But more and more I'm finding that even at meals, I just want ice water.2

I think I would be doing better if I were exercising but I haven't been. I have a hundred excuses, but it comes down to laziness.4 -

That's okay! You're starting somewhere and that's what counts! Work up to it slowly! And you've hit below 200 now! Awesome job!!!5 -
Yesterday was a frustrating day at work and what did I do.... used it as an excuse to eat too much. I did though log everything I ate and actually entered a note so I know why that day is so out of whack. Baby steps.

I can always tell when I dont eat enough the day before. Because I'm !@#$%^& irritated to death. Today has been the worst and lunch was unsatisfying. So pray for me and my workout and the rest of my eating today. Because lord knows I want chicken nuggets and fries. 😂😂5

I'm already noticing I fit in the car seat better, even with a coat on. I got my steps in this morning walking back and forth from the kitchen sink with a quart jar of warm water to pour along the edges of the car door so we could get in it to take Girlfriend to have a sleep study done. She snores very loudly, so something's up with that, and all we need is really the formal diagnosis.
I am really enjoying the improvement in my energy and it seems to help to calm me and make me more able to cope.5 -
Weighed in this morning.

I'm plugging along. Didn't log Tuesday evening because I went to book club, where the host provides dinner (which was delicious and included brown butter pie and FIVE other pie choices). I have no idea how many calories it was, but it doesn't appear to have thrown me off much. Exercise went well this week also. I hurt my ankle last week, but it's feeling a lot better, though not completely back to my normal walking pace on the treadmill.4 -
I am so very tired. I do not enjoy sitting for hours but nothing can be done for that right now. Had a great work out last night, planning a more relaxed pilates type work out tonight. I think food was okay, will finish logging it in a bit. Really want ice cream and sleep... and a hot shower...3

You're still averaging over a pound a week. Slow and steady wins the race. Add in exercise when you're ready, and you'll be unstoppable!3 -

@KJR865 Great progress! Keep it up!1

Dianeauman - Thumbs up for you for documenting everything you ate and why, that's huge.
Although I'm not losing weight, I noticed yesterday that I could almost zip down the bottom zipper of my winter coat ( over my hips & butt ), another 10pds and I can stay warm, although it will be spring by then.
I exercise on the fit board, and now I'm checking out 3 different exercise programs at the senior center. One is chair yoga, one is strength exercise and the other one is strength & balance. Although I'm not 60+ ( I am standing on the doormat to enter that realm ), I am more than welcome and it doesn't cost a dime. The 1st strength & balance class I went to, I was impressed. They were using 5pd weights and above plus ankle weights. Their kicking my butt !!5 -
Just saw this group ... Ok if I join? 245 and looking to hit 210!6

I would love to join this group. What do I have to do? I've lost 12.4 lbs since December. I am at 252 lbs now. I really need to get more off.5

Thank you so much for the tip!!! I may have to try that and trick my brain lol.3
