Grocery shopping during the day, used the treadmill at night. I messed up a little food wise. I was asked by a relative to make her wedding cake/cupcakes so I was practicing making flowers last night and oh my goodness I couldn't stop taking tastes of the buttercream I made. Sigh. I kept telling myself to stop but it was like I was on autopilot or something. I did log it and still stayed under calorie for the day, of course I was hungry at night from not eating enough nutritious stuff, and my stomach hurt cuz it's not used to eating sugar anymore. Gotta lock it down cuz I've got a wedding cake, a groom's cake, and 12 dozen cupcakes to make in the next week for this wedding!Tazaria87

First of all, congrats on your loss! It is good that you logged everything. I think I would eat the entire bowl. You are really strong so I think you can do this. Just curious but have you cut out sugar totally or just junky foods?
I wish I had your baking skills but unfortunately nothing turns out that I bake. It must skip a generation as my Mom and daughter are really good bakers. 😂 The most exciting part of our family birthday gatherings is to see what kind of delicious cake my daughter will make. Tuesday is my granddaughters birthday so I can’t wait.
I don't eat anything with regular sugar, corn syrup, or stuff like that. I use coconut sugar and raw honey though. So no, not technically completely sugar free, but regular sugary stuff makes my stomach hurt now after not eating it for awhile.
My cake baking actually began because of my kids' birthdays. I decorate cookies too and had started with that first. When my son was turning 2 I decided to see if I could make something instead of paying for a cake. Now I just make their cakes every year! I don't do it professionally or anything, just for my kids, and now I've had a couple friends/relatives ask for stuff.1 -

Went to take the kids for our day walk and it was blistering hot outside. They wanted to go so we did but cut it pretty short. I went out again at night and with the sun going down it was much better outside.2 -

Been a hard time at work this week moving lots of stock around and the weather didn't help.
Now taking snacks to work and having my meal when I get home. Lots of salads, fruit smoothies and less chocolate. Hoping for a 2lb loss this week and upping my steps.
Good luck to you all 😁😁2 -

Not feeling well today 😟5 -
August 16: 5,085 steps
Alright, last night of freedom (lol jk) since I work the next 7 days in a row. For me, that is usually a good thing since it keeps me moving. I did get some meal prep ideas together to prep my meals for my return to the hospital so I will have to get that done Wednesday night. I have been feeling really fatigued and had a pounding headache all day today so I really didn't do much. Hoping I feel better tomorrow since it is my youngest daughter's first day of VPK and I also have a meeting with my trainer tomorrow.
Have a good night ya'll.2 -

What triggers are in your environment that sabotage your eating and exercise? What do you do to overcome these triggers?

Hi all,
Here for Monday check in. I'm surprised to see any form of a loss on the scale this week given I had went up to 252 during the week and then 251.4 yesterday. I had dominos pizza, cookies and fudgy rolo brownies over the weekend.. there is still some brownies left but I know I can factor in for the rest of the day if I do decide to have more. I think for my sanity I can't be totally restrictive, sucks the enjoyment out of things you enjoy doing i.e baking (now in moderation!) but I know within myself that I'm still being mindful of what I'm eating rather than being blinded and free for alling it.

Hoping to break into the 240's next week and stay in that bracket within the next week and so on and so forth!!4 -

My girlfriend!! We live in a place where you can go walking to a city, but that will take you 1 hour and a half, and if you wanna go to the gym you need to walk a minimum of 2 hours to be there, so by the time you are in, you are already tired. And I don't have a driver license. So usually if I go to the gym is when my girlfriend brings me and we go together or if I am already in the city
And she is waaaaaay to lazy. She will find all the excuses in the world not to go.
We are on vacations now and we hardly ever go for a walk, we haven't been in the gym, not even dancing with the TV.
I guess that as soon as she starts working again she would bring me to the gym and leave me there.
And with the food is the same. I will be doing my best with the food while she will be eating chips and chocolates non stop in front of me.
How do I overcome those triggers?
Sometimes If she is in another room that is not the living room I do zumba or bellydance with the TV. And for the food triggers I eat raw veggies in the meantime. But the crunchy ones like carrots because they give the same crunchy feeling as the chips.2 -

You are doing so good with your walking. I find this summer has been hotter than usual. We have been under more heat warnings than I can count. We have had lots of thunderstorms as result. I think we have had 5 tornado warnings and 4 have touched down in the area. This is more than usual too.Marigorringo wrote: »Hi everyone, I'm really sorry for being so not active but I'm not in my best.

Sorry guys Mia and have noticed I have missed 500 plus posts- went away for a long weekend . My weight last Friday was 72.3kgs- not great loss but still a loss. Still achieving alcohol free days and not eating after 6:30pm on week days easyish...0

Nice job on the loss! I was also surprised on Friday with my loss as I was 4 pounds heavier the day before. I am the same way with not being too restrictive. I have to allow certain foods within reason in my diet. I would go crazy otherwise. I actually call them my sanity treats.Pw 289
