Week 2 - June 2020 Sunday
PW 148 (67kg)
CW 147lbs (66.9kg)

Lost - just! I'm not really losing but maintaining.

I'm eating meals as I keep buying fresh food that needs eating.

I brought a treat of Welch's Grape juice. But i never feel like drinking it. It's been 5 days and still half the packet left. Then i feel the need to finish it. That's what it's like with food.

I need to work on my portion control again.

I ate doughnuts twice in a week as family brought it.

Thought I was eating well as last week binged on chocolate. But eating more vegetables just still big portions.

I've written this quote and stored it with my chocolate stash:
"I'm about to eat this chocolate,but I don't need it. Eating it will cause me to gain weight and hurt my health". - (Book: Atomic Habits p.66)

Didn't walk every morning as it's been raining heavily.

Drunk less coffee, only 1 cup in the morning.

GOAL
1. eat less hot cross bun for breakfast
2. Say the notice mantra before eating chocolate.

Hi all- just checking in to say that fitrocker did not sync half of my week. I got it to update, but you might want to check yours if you are doing the step challenge. I have you all beat by a mile right now! Have a happy and relaxing Sunday!

Sunday (Funday) check in!!

Hey, happy Father's Day to all our dads and to the dads in the families of all the peepnicks!!!

A good day so far - yesterday I was a slacker on getting in the water so trying to get extra today; shooting for 16 cups! Cals are on track and all food planned and tracked for today already; since some things will be eaten as leftovers tomorrow, I have that day pretty good for planning and logging already, WOOT!! Now - hunger is another story, seems I am on the higher side of hungry today....and I think it started at dinner yesterday. I resisted eating more and I woke up extra hungry this morning. I have been naturally skipping breakfast of late but today I made a nice robust egg, sausage and bagel breakfast that was so good and satisfying! Held me for a long while and I had a typical lunch but still feel hungry, even as I type this. My goal is to maintain my calories and foods planned - if I stay legit hungry even after dinner, I may get some fruit and yogurt or make a smoothie - thinking something that I really like, strikes me as indulgent but is still well within acceptable limits of food choice and food intake. Sidebar - it's amazing to me that when I am in the right 'headspace,' these conversations with myself are not difficult. They are almost void of emotion and only factual in my head - and it does not feel depriving or cause any other negative feeling. It's just the facts of the food and hunger moments. So this is the way it is today, or even just right now. HA! Always waiting for the other shoe to drop - perhaps that is what I should spend time thinking about.

My hip was a bit hurty yesterday so I didn't take a walk (had kayaking as exercise) and today it is really paining me so I may not get another walk in; had a lovely walk on the beach earlier. Sleep has been good..... =>

CONGRATS to @cherrymajoni (wow - KILLIN' it at 9.3!!!) @bethanie0825 and @2020shih !!!!! You guys ROCK!
@trooworld I love your sticker idea! And Juvenile works wonders and feels so good - simple pleasures are awesome!
@katmary71 I know I am so late to this party - but I don't have an airfryer! I have been reading what the AFFs have posted (Air Fryer Folks!! =>) and wondering if I should give it a shot. Your treat sounds awesome - does it come out kinda like a big cookie or a pizza-ish-esque thing...?

@AustinRuadhain, I Googled goji berries and I would probably like them. I wonder if I could find them at Trader Joes?

@digger61, glad to see you checking in with us. Sounds like you are having a very good weekend. Keep taking care of yourself.

@Katmary71, you are NOT a lousy motivator. You are going through a tough time and we are here for you. It goes both ways in this group.

@apple852hk, wahoooo look at you losing weight this week!! That is a great quote from Atomic Habits and what a good idea to put it where the temptation lies. Keep tweaking your goals and being good to yourself!

@trooworld, that is great that you had a good time for your hubby’s birthday and yet didn’t overdo it. Way to behave and still have fun! Is it because of COVID that you might not be returning to work just yet?

@Cornanda, thanks for the reminder to check and sync Fitrockr. Although it didn’t do me much good because you are still beating me by a mile!

@raleighgirl09, sometimes we do have to listen to our bodies and when it really is hungry then you need to eat. Something nutritious like you spoke of is the best of course because I read that when we are extra hungry it is often our body's way of saying it needs nutrients. So, no to potato chips and jellybeans!


Hello and Happy Father’s Day! Today was a good day. Hubby and I went to church and the Livestream wasn’t as bad as it was last week. It still had some issues but hopefully, we will get it straightened out soon. Next week is our big reopen for all our church people. We are super excited!!! After church, I took DH to Jason’s Deli where I broke my 20 hours fast with the Chicken Santa Fe sandwich, chips, and a walnut cranberry cookie. For dinner, I made baked chicken fajitas. So it was a very Southwest kind of day! I took today off from exercise to rest my poor calf muscle that I pulled. Tomorrow I embark on the 8-week exercise program that I put together for myself. I’m really hoping that with the workouts and my new IF resolve I will see some real progress in the next 8 weeks. I will be sure to keep you all updated.

@trooworld - Woohoo to the new bike seat! A seat that does not fit is indeed awful. (Speaking from painful experience! )

@Katmary71 - So SO glad things were feeling sunnier last night! Sending you all best wishes for a good mood and less pain today!

@digger61 - Sounds like you had a great day! Hoping today is one, too!

Seeing some downward movement is nice especially as the weather is starting to really get hot. I'm going to do some socially distanced garden maintenance for my grandma this week, she's got a lot of weeds in her back garden and isn't capable of doing them herself.

@TeresaW1020 --- this is my husband's Father's Day gift from the kids. It's called the "white hell" puzzle. 1000 pieces, all white on both sides, very tiny. He likes a challenge, but this is pretty crazy.

@Cornanda I love puzzles but that would be awful! I tried doing a wolf-shaped one with my nephews the other day when babysitting and it was really hard, I was the only one getting pieces so I finally challenged them to a plank competition to stop their complaining!

@AustinRuadhain @Raleighgirl09 Thank you for your kind comments!

Monday check-in
Exercise- seated dance and cardio, yoga, foam rolling.
Water- great!
Calories- under

Cardio- done
Weights- did yesterday, will do tomorrow
Yoga- done
Recipe- none planned but I invited my brother over for dinner. I'll either make something then or the next time I see the guy I'm dating, not sweating doing it every week right now, depends on if I can stand or chop stop sitting with legs elevated.
Steps- this is crazy, 16,600 LOL, at least 12,000 from seated arm cardio, the stupid hip hop video kept calling to me.

Pretty good day, I don't feel as good as yesterday but still better than a couple days ago so that's a plus, I didn't think I was going to survive those days. The farmer's market woman contacted me that they had a leftover box today and I could get the yucky stuff out of it so I went to her house to pick it up. Well, I'd worked out for 3 hours! She was really excited to give me a tour of the farm so I didn't want to hurt her feelings and did it, then at the end like 2 blocks from my car she filled up my box with at least 20lbs of stuff and plopped it in my hands. It was up a slope, I was too prideful to admit I was struggling! I was chased by a car last weekend so I ordered a bunch of self-defense stuff that's on my key chain and pulled the cord on the personal alarm getting the box in the car and scared myself half to death. That's why I decided not to get a taser after reading in the reviews that someone tased themselves! I should think twice about the pepper spray too. Chicken breasts are awesome in the air fryer, I was hoping they'd be that good!

Hope you all are doing well, I've been disconnected this last month. I traumatized myself putting on a bathing suit. I've been getting a lot of compliments and DO think I look better than I did at 122 but I look awful in a bikini! Between that and doing a quick add of 10,000 just because I hadn't eaten enough to close my diary and seeing that I'd be 100lbs more in 5 weeks eating that much (I hadn't,, did it as it made me laugh at how shocked I'd be to see that in someone else's diary) has scared me, I've done really well the last couple days. I had to pop in my night Invisilign and hide in my room but I'm under!

@trooworld - Oh, my. What a day you had. I am SO sorry about the pulled muscle and SO GLAD it was that and not a heart attack. 👐🏽👐🏽👐🏽
I think you might pat yourself on the back for having a smoothie and staying under calories after all that! I myself have been known to *ahem* find excuses to indulge, and that whole saga might have done it for me. So, pat that back if it seems appropriate. 👍🏽😄

@digger61 - Woohoo! What a great day you had! So many great choices to increase your health and fitness! You are doing so great!

@TeresaW1020 - Zowie! You sound full of energy and excitement today! I love it! And I confess I stopped to think "What time zone is she in??"

@KatMary71 - So sorry about the personal alarm and that tough walk with 20 pounds. Wait, you got chased by a car last weekend? Grrr. People can be such *ahem* jerks. And for what it's worth, I have had that same experience, more than once, both as a walker and as a cyclist. 👐🏽👐🏽👐🏽
Super happy you found the great hip hop video. Have you shared the link to that one? I'll have to go look!

@raleighgirl09 - Enjoy that bike riding! I so hope your hip continues to behave!

@Cornanda - I am adding my voice as regards that crazy new puzzle! That looks off-the-chain hard -- super fun, I can see, for a puzzle lover. 😮

In an effort to recognize accomplishments and celebrate more, beginning in JULY we will start using the format below for our weigh ins.

You will notice a new line at the bottom LOSS TO DATE or LTD -- THIS IS OPTIONAL! If you want to celebrate your victories, please include it. If you feel that it is TMI - just leave it off.
