Thanks!

@gwamajtw91- weekends are hard. Recently I ate whatever I wanted all day Sat and logged every bite. What an eye opener. It gave me some motivation to work on that bad habit. I also hate 4-6 pm. Why am I so hungry then?! And it's easy to sneak in some bites while getting supper ready. Hang in there!

@bethanie0825 - glad to see you are in the Southeast party with us!

@trooworld- enjoy that burger for all it's worth today and then get started a new week.

@mrmcgrath - skittle attacks are hard to resist. Stay strong!

Hi, I am on this team but fail spectacularly at spreadsheets. No change this week 134lbs.

Don't worry! You do not need to go anywhere near the dreaded spreadsheets - just post your weights and it is all taken care of. More important is to join in the discussions, share as needed, and keep on the journey! Your weigh-in day is MONDAY, so be sure to post your new weight then. Every week. Thanks!

I do not know how to enter that into the spreadsheets.

No problem @doutri2 - the captains/moderators have the spreadsheet covered. Thanks for checking in - and nice loss!

After having yet another weight gain this week .I really need to pull my big girls pants firmly up.
1. starting 5k today.
2. no snacking after dinner.
3. watch this space for a loss on the scales next week .fingers crossed .

Weigh in Apple852hk
Week 2 - June 2020 Sunday
PW 147 (66.6kg)
CW 148 (67kg)

Gained - not much but I don't know why today put on a little weight.

Gone for 2hr long walks on Tuesday and Thursday. 3 hour long distance on Friday. Maybe I gained weight as didn't go for a walk yesterday.

Brought higher cocoa content chocolate and ate some but not devoured the packet.

Been eating nuts as a salad topper for meals.

Didnt eat hot cross bun all week until yesterday for breakfast. Maybe that's why I've gained weight.

Tried yeast flakes but I don't think they have cheese taste. Will try eating it with evert meal to find out.

Walked every morning 30 mins.

Only drinking one coffee in the morning.

GOALS
1. Walk every morning to allotment for exercise.
2. Drink less coffee

Good morning team!! I hope your weekend was great and that you are ready to tackle whatever you have going on this week. My goal this week is to work on listening to my body and learn to discern from head hunger vs. real hunger. Did you know that when your stomach growls you don't have to listen to it and go eat? It is NOT the boss of you!! I'm going to embrace the growl and know that when it occurs it's just the sound of my body getting ready to eat its own fat.

Tell me your plans for the week and how you are working on becoming the best you that you can be.

Hey, everyone! I can’t believe the weekend went by so fast. I did good this past week, for the most part. Yesterday I found my hand in the chip bag…didn’t realize it until it was half gone. But I stopped and put them away. Not going to get mad at myself. My church is holding outside services right now and yesterday’s was about the Israelites about to cross the Jordan River. They needed to let God go before them to open the way. He explained that the Jordan River isn’t some little creek, but a rough, deep one that will sweep you away. After God went before them, he wanted them to step into the river in faith. The pastor asked us what is our “Jordan” that we need God to guide us with. I realized that I am my own “Jordan”. I will be working on this (with His leading, of course).

I started today with some Turmeric tea and a banana. My goal is to not watch my fresh produce wither and die. So for lunch, I rolled out to the kitchen and prepped some lovely salad and roasted sweet potatoes for lunch. My daughter and I decided the potatoes didn’t really have enough seasoning (even though I used EVOO along with garlic, onion, paprika and chili powders). But the salad consisted of lettuce, radish, green onion, red cabbage and walnuts…along with a home made dressing of Basil Olive Oil and Walnut Balsamic. The potatoes were delicious with the vinaigrette! Lunch was a bit more calories than I expected, but it’s 3 hours later and I’m still full! P.S. If you use nuts, weigh them instead of using a measuring cup. My “1/4 cup” of walnuts was running over when I measured by 30 grams instead. If I’m going to count 200 cals for nuts, I want my full share!

I gotta get on the ball today with water…it’s 4:30pm my time and I’m only at 60oz. I hope everyone is having a Marvelous Monday!

@trooworld- sorry your burgers didn't turn out, but your lunch outing/wave listening day sounds amazing.

@TeresaW1020- so glad you will be heading back to church soon.

@vegan4lyfe2012- good work putting the chips away- salad sounds delish! I am trying to increase the amounts of veggies with all meals- it really does help fill me up!

I cleaned off a shelf in my closet this weekend and found a couple different sizes of pants that I took off the hanger and put aside when I outgrew them. If only I would have worked harder a bit sooner!

Weekly Weigh-In

Day - Tuesday
Previous - 237 (?)
Current - 233

Apparently my first week on WW was successful lol. I manged some sort of workout 5 out of 7 days last week and I worked out Monday and Tuesday so far this week. No working out at work this week due to scheduling so lots of console walking.

Tuesday check in

Hey Slimpeeps!! Whew - catching up! So today has been good for cals (under), water (target), sleep (target) and exercise (target). Friday, Saturday and Sunday got out of hand on eating with cals over - water, exercise and sleep were good. I've decided to not weigh until my F2F weigh day and we can all be surprised together!!! => Between sodium excess and a car ride, I decided I didn't need to see water gain, I'll just wait for Thursday when I think the water should be recovered and then see if I have been able to maintain. I'm back on track and I hope so but - if not - I'll know I'm on track for losing as I progress.

@bethanie0825 WOWSER girl - you have been working hard on the WW and IT SHOWS! Way to go, that's amazing and I'm so happy for you! =>
@Katmary71 I'm sorry it has been bad.... Sending the mojo and hoping it feels better tomorrow And 14,000 steps when dealing with seems like you're getting out some and likely doing your chair exercises; I certainly hope so, I know you enjoy that outlet until you can get back to the other videos.... {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
@trooworld uh - that looks simply amazing and well worth the trouble - I had a true LOL with your warning on that recipe! Reading it, I gotta agree.....quite laborious. But I am lured by the promise of that crispiness......
@Cornanda I keep clothes that are too small on purpose and if I find myself fitting into all of my 'inspiring' pieces, I troop right on down to the Goodwill for something to look forward to! The biggest reason I do it is the NSV factor - during long-term weight loss, body shape and composition can change and shift - even if the scale doesn't always cooperate, so the clothing is another tool or measure of my progress.
@Deadpheonixrising girl, whatever it takes - composte lifting can totally be exercise - along with the other million chores of a garden!
@vegan4lyfe2012 the dressing on the potatoes sounds amazing! I have found the same for nuts but mostly, I must admit, I get discouraged by the amount of calories for them and end up skipping having any.

I've been working on my NO and my GO. My No is trying to say no to sugar and not give in to carb cravings. My GO is to not put off exercise and just go get it done.

I've been slacking with the updates. I fell behind on reading posts so when I have time to log in I spend it reading instead of posting. Lots of good info and inspiration that I don't want to miss out on.

@TeresaW1020 If your mother tries IF tell her to keep an eye on her blood sugar levels. When I fast my blood sugar goes up quite a bit which I thought seemed weird but my Diabetic Nutritionist said fasting can stress the body and raise cortisol levels which in turn can raise blood sugar

Hello, Slimsters! Playing catch-up here! Monday and Tuesday were a bit challenging, with internet going up and down and then Tuesday also crunch day on a project. My IT expert thinks the issue has been resolved, so hopefully back to checking in at better times of day!

On the plus side - I have stuck to my food plan every day and done decently at getting in exercise. Silly NSV - I finally learned to follow a Jenny Ford step aerobics move that I had found challenging. Silly but exciting that can now do the "sideways bench around-the-world" thing. Yeah, I am not a dancer, but I am determined.

WEDNESDAY: 🟡/🟢 THURSDAY Goals
Fun recipe plan for the week is a Russian Root Vegetable Stew. My son did an in-depth project on the geography of Russia, and we are celebrating that with a Russian dinner tomorrow. We will also have a side dish of Pagac bread -- no on my menu, but I think he will love it!

@TeresaW1020 - I am so sorry about your mom and surgery. I do hope that goes smoothly.

Your finished puzzle is gorgeous! There's a toy store I used to go to regularly when my son was younger, that had lots of Ravensberger puzzles, and I recognize that one!

@trooworld - Your not-too-fussy "Best Vegan Meatloaf" sounds kinda exciting! New recipes can be such fun. I hope it was as tasty as it sounds!

@bethanie0825 - BOOM! What a great weigh-in! Hurray, you!

@Deadpheonixrising - I wear wrist gadget that meausres pulse, and I can testify that gardeining really does raise the pulse and quaslify as exercise. So keep up with that composting! I'll bet the outside time is helpful for the mind and spirit as well. I hope that long walk is therapeutic. My husband and I go walking at off hours for that very reason, that it's hard to stay far enough away from people except at off hours.

Yoga and then bed!
