@rhaiin Do you have a Wendy's nearby? You can customize all sorts of things on their menu to get the calories down. A small chili with crackers is less than 200 calories, and you can customize a half size or even a full size salad down to less than 300 calories, especially choosing a vinaigrette dressing - Wendy's has been a life saver for me when I find myself in that boat2 -

If I need to eat out, I can eat at Five Guys if I get a small hamburger and no fries, and I can eat for about 350 or so at Steak n Shake with a single hamburger and either french fries or a side of onion rings. Same meal is about 100 cal more at Jack In The Box, but the onion rings are better too. (grin)
I really can't eat salads due to the IBS, so I tend to default to sandwiches a lot.

My goal today was to have a rest day from swimming but I ended up at the pool again!2

My goals today:
1) Eat 1 bowl of cereal for breakfast instead of 2. ( And stick to this) I don't need the 2nd bowl because I am not physically hungry anymore after one. (The second is a unnecessary craving.)
2) Clean house. (Not put it off out of lazyness.)
3. Stick to portion control today.
4. Take it one day at a time. (Not worrying and obsessing over tomorrow and the future. I can only live in the moment, otherwise its easy to get overwhelmed.)
5. Remind myself that I CAN do this. I am capable and have strong willpower to stick to my new positive lifestyle changes.3 -
Isn't it time for this year to be over??????????????
My Mom died in early March out of state. Had to arrange to bring her back her for her funeral. This was the first week of Covid shutdown. Funeral could only have 10 people in attendance; sad for so many reasons and on so many levels.
Then into full isolation due to Covid. Everything closed. Groceries delivery only. Dealing with isolation, boredom, major "cabin fever", lack of physical contact with other humans, etc.
Then, hit with 500 year flood and it's aftermath. Three days of Flood Watch to determine if I would need to evacuate while worried about family who already had to evacuate twice from two locations. Brother's house flooded over 5 feet inside house totally destroying everything. Can't help with cleanup so volunteered to do laundry (SIL major quilter so trying to salvage her finished work as well as other sheets, bedding, etc). Also making daily runs to Flood Distribution Centers for cleanup supplies, food, water, etc.
Finally, about first of June, Michigan starting to slowly open back up. Restaurants having seating available while following distancing guidelines, etc as mandated by state. Thrilled I'm finally able to get a restaurant meal occasionally, but still playing it safe for the most part.
June 9-10, had inspectors come in and they determined I had black mold in the house ... which grows and spreads mega rapidly. So, due to lung conditions and allergies, I had to move out of my house. Since all cleaning & restoration services in our state are heavily engaged with flood restoration, they are hard to get booked. Most were quoting 6-8 weeks before they could start. Luckily, I had an experience last year with Modernistic and promoted them heavily for their excellent work so they graciously worked with me this time ... but it was still almost 2 weeks before they could get into my house. Then had a house cleaning service come in to clean my house top to bottom and do laundry for any fabrics (like bedding, drapes, etc) that may have been exposed to mold spoor. Since I had never had mold issues in the 40+ years in this house, the inspectors felt I may have introduced it with the black plastic bags of flood contaminated quilts, etc that I brought into the house. GREAT!! I created this mini disaster myself.
So, I am back home (after living in a 10-foot camper for almost a month. Have laundry to do, inventories to do -- so I can put in an order for delivery, and make to-do lists LOL.
I seriously don't have the energy or time to read all the posts I've missed so will just start from here. Congrats to all who have lost during this time! Hang in there to those who've been maintaining or gaining!! Welcome to any folks who are new or who have returned after a time away.
It's great to be back. Hope to restart my new normal in this unnormal time we're living in right now. Hope y'all have a great day!5 -
Welcome back. Yours has indeed been a tragic & stressful year so far. God may bless a Christian's faith during such times. I pray that happens for you.2

Today's goals: Pace myself so I'm not in agony tonight. That means rest breaks when needed, even if I don't want to.
FInish taping the kitchen, the library, the sitting room, and the upstairs bathroom. More would be great.
Talk to the contractor about the various issues you want solved.
Decide firmly what color goes where.
Make lunches for Boyfriend and Girlfriend, and write out a list of what we're having for dinner when.

My goal for today is to not go overboard at book club brunch, and more importantly, to not mindlessly snack once I'm home.1

JULY GOALS ---
(1) Log all food and beverages honestly; Drink 10+ water
(2) Exercise 30 min minimum (3000 steps)
(3) Clean 30 min per day: house or yard or declutter
Tasks for Today ---
Clean Litter Boxes
Do Dishes
Prune and Weed on West Perimeter of house
Take trash and recyclables to outside bins
Thank goodness I paid the house cleaners to come in and do top-to-bottom cleaning and some laundry ... less for my to-do lists. Cleaned out frig last night ... whew!! Ready for grocery delivery tonight. Trying to keep my daily tasks to 3-4 which seem do-able rather than disappoint myself by having too large of a list and not getting it all done. I can always add something if I want to do so ... or treat myself to time to read or watch a movie. One great thing about being back home is having WIFI again.
Hope Y'all have a great day!! 🌞1 -

It is sooooooo good to sleep in my real bed again! Got up at 6:30 or so, took care of business, then (a rarity for me) when BACK TO BED and got another hour or so of sleep. Sooooo Wonderful!
Back to basics this week. Plan to weigh and measure everything, drink more water, try to keep carbs and sodium levels under control, and kick my exercise up a notch. I'd really like to get this part of my life back to being a healthy relationship and in line with my monthly goals
Have a great day Y'all !! 🌞1 -
My goal for today (06/30) is to remember to eat. I know that sounds strange for a fat boy losing weight, but for the last couple of days I've reached the evening having not eaten enough to safely lose weight. Two days of doing so won't hurt me, but I've gotta get back to eating mindfully throughout the day.2
