@buniphuphu I'm sure your doctor wouldn't want you to be so stressed out about it. I think you are smart to follow what you know works for you.

@TeresaW1020 Pizza...yum!

Hi all. I did pretty well yesterday, I ate foods that were good for my body, tracked everything (I was 2 points over my WW point total for the day), and I got some exercise in and meditated. I've been a bit stressed about some things so the meditation helped. I'm worried about my weigh-in on Saturday thanks to that chocolate bar fiasco. All I can do is keep working my goals and see what happens Saturday.

Wednesday:
Calories: over/under: over
Water: over/under: under
Exercise: physical therapy exercises, walked
- rate my hunger on a scale of 1-10 before I eat - not accomplished
- track 90% of food intake - 100% accomplished
- get at least 7 hours of sleep every night - 100% accomplished
- drink 2 (26 oz) bottles of water a day - 50% accomplished
- meditate for at least 15 minutes a day - 100% accomplished
- put my utensil down between bites - 100% accomplished
- ask myself if I'm really hungry before eating anything - 100$ accomplished
- leave at least 3 bites of food on my plate at each meal - not accomplished
_____________________________________________

I am sending out an SOS for @Katmary71. I see no likes, comments or posts which is very unlike her and she has been unwell. Concerned.

I’m hoping this means that she’s busily off having the appointments that she has been needing for so long! ❤️

Well, that is what I get for eating a Chic-Fil-A biscuit for breakfast, pizza for lunch, and a sub for dinner. Ohhh and there was candy as well at my all day staff meeting that I might have indulged in. It will be up more tomorrow if I don't starve today!

Hey there, she is feeling well enough to be posting supportive comments on the pages of friends this evening, so hopefully she will pop in here soon.

Phew!

That's good to hear! Thanks!

Hi all- Been keeping up with posts and thinking of ya'll, but not posting. I had quite the party week. Went to visit the kids last weekend- 3 days of junk food. I did exert some control, but just very different than my usual diet. Monday was my wedding anniversary- @TeresaW1020 - we are almost twinsies. That meant a bit more junk food. Can't really expect much when you are way over on calories for 4 days out of 7. I got right back on track and had 3 good days this week. I still feel the "looserness" in my pants that started last week. Been dreaming about some new things to wear and that has been exciting and motivating to me.

Life happens. Fresh start now that weigh in is done.

@adhmrh I’m glad that you had a great staycation and don’t worry about that small gain. It will come off as soon as you are back on your plan. I hope your hubby feels better soon.

@judi_kay_4 Congrats on your weigh-in this week!

@trooworld Fingers are crossed that Saturday’s weigh-in will be good to you!

@daviddji82 Great loss this week1 I would say that your exercise is definitely paying off for you.

@AustinRuadhain Have a great time hiking. That sounds fun! Yeah, I can’t gripe about my weight being up when I did it to myself. But I have a whole new plan that I started today. More below.

@Cornanda Wow if you had three days of junk food you should be happy with such a small gain on the scale. But yup it helps when we get right back on our plan. New clothes are a big motivator for me too. I turn 55 in March and I will need new spring/summer clothes are they WILL be in a smaller size.

@Jactop That is a good strategy to only do the unhealthy choices a small percentage of the day. You know that if you own what you put in your mouth you are much less likely to beat yourself up for it, which is never helpful.

@Katmary71 Thinking of you, friend!



Hello everyone!! TGIF!! Today, hubby and I went out and bought me a new office chair that will arrive by Tuesday. It was more money than we wanted to spend but it fits me perfectly with great lumbar support and has many adjustable features. I’m hoping with the new chair and taking a break from my normal workouts that I will finally get this back issue under control. Because if I don’t hubby will drag me to the doctor, and I don’t want that! I am also starting a new way of fasting that began today. Basically, what I’m doing is Mon, Wed, and Fri I will only eat one small meal that is under 500 calories. Then on Tue, Thur, and Sat, I will eat two meals. Sunday will probably be a snack and a normal dinner. The point of the days with two meals following the low-calorie day is to not let my body think it’s not going to get food and damage my metabolism. I plan to keep the low-calorie days very low carb, which will give me less of an insulin spike. I’ve been reading that this can really help with weight loss. Many do full ADF where they don’t eat all day and I have done that but it’s hard and I don’t sleep well. So, I’m going to commit to this for the next month and see what happens.

100-Day Challenge Goals: Day 31
1. Fast clean for 19+ hours, with 2 days at 23+ hours. Fasted 22 hrs. and 45 min. hours. 15 minute eating window and then I will fast until 11:30 am tomorrow.
2. Workout six days a week (either BOD program, treadmill, or deep cleaning). 30 minute treadmill. I’m working on my back issue and taking a break from my normal Beachbody workouts.
3. Eat at least 90% on plan, which means mostly low carb with one or two days of high-carbs. Dinner was 430 calories and 25 total carbs. Should have been fewer carbs, but that Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce is just soooo tasty!
4. Have quiet time with God through prayer and reading. I haven’t yet today, but I actually plan to go do a little Bible study right after I post this.

Friday Check-in
🟢Food on plan weighed & logged
🟢Calories in the "Green"
🟢Workout: 45 min+/6 days-wk (after giving myself permission to have it be my rest day, I went walking anyway!)
🔴Over 10K steps
🟢Only the one planned snack, no trigger foods
🟢In bed by 12
I just didn't check my overall steps number until too late. Ah, well, Back at the 10K game today!

@Firefly743 @davidji82
Great weigh-in! Congratulations! 🥳

@trooworld
What a great day yesterday! And hurray for that great weigh-in! You are doing so many good things for your health and fitness, that maybe they just outweighed the chocolate bar! So awesome that you didn't let that stop you and ended up under for the week! 🎉
And your note about my ricking things too made me smile! 😀

@mss9675
Hey there! If we can support you in any way, let us know! 👐🏽

@GabiV125
Hurray for your having found something that works for you, mind and body! Even if it's slower than you would like! 🥳

@TeresaW1020
Congratulations on having that new chair on the way! It sounds like a great fit. I hope it does the trick!
And hurray for your new fasting plan. It sounds like you are tweaking and adjusting based on what works for you -- so smart! 😀
I am so lookin forward to hearing about your new spring and summer clothes!

@Jactop
We could all do to listen to your words of wisdom some weeks:

when I step on the scale I feel like I'm on a game show waiting to see what number comes up which is why I try not to take it too seriously. Sometimes it doesn't reflect our efforts and other times it shows a loss we didn't deserve (love that). Don't let it get you down.
