    Monday July 12:
    ✅ 1- Log daily weight in Fitbit
    ✅ 2- Veggies at each meal
    ✅ 3- Pre-log day (ok to change)
    ✅ 4- Walk 5 days a week (with friend?) Friend wanted to start a daily walk- cool!! She didn’t make it. I’m walking regardless, hopefully she’ll come along. And hopefully the autoimmune disease plays nice and allows it, hence no distance requirement yet.

    Weekly total 4/26

    Maybe you should give yourself 1 credit per ring??? Seems kinda sad to get an X when you closed one ring (though I really don't know what that means!)

    It is so hard to get a good walking buddy! I keep thinking I have one, and they it turns out they don't really walk. : :/

    Even the dog is defective in that regard! Audiobooks and podcasts on the other hand...

    On hot days my girls isn't really keen either. I'm just clearing my phone to download a BBC John le Carre George Smiley radio dramatization series...that will get me through the summer. The dog is just going to have to put up with me and our walks - though I promise to get up and get out before the heat hits.

    One good thing about our Willow….I can’t walk her anywhere….she is a nightmare on a leash and only my son in law has the strength to let her walk him!

    Same on Tuesday as Monday. I’m struggling to get two rings closed. Not going to get it done today either. But I’m doing really great at tracking and staying under my calories so I’m still happy.

    ✅ track everything and have an overall deficit at the end of the week- under for the day even with my tummy sandwich
    ✅ move purposefully at least once a day-yard work
    ❌close 2 rings every day-only 1 ring today.

    I'm just starting using MyFitnessPal (again) because it's either this or the gastric sleeve operation. I may still end up doing the gastric sleeve if I cannot get down to a reasonable weight but for now, I'm going to do my absolute best to lose by eating much more sensibly and tracking carbs and calories to see if I can affect a change for the better. So, my goals are:
    ✅ Log daily food intake and stay within 1% of determined daily calories and carbs
    ✅ Go to bed before midnight every night (very bad habit I need to break!)
    ✅ Get up by 5:30 am (since I have to be at work by 7:30 anyway)

    After I've mastered these few things for a couple of weeks, I'm going to add daily walking/Pilates/Tai Chi or some form of exercise and then add weights later. I have a LOT of weight to lose and mainly need to establish some better habits for now and then worry about some of the other details later.

    I had cataract surgery this morning so I need to limit the exercise for a little while until I'm released by the dr so I'm hoping a couple of weeks will do it!

    Unless someone has some suggestions for me... :smile:

    I had my cataracts removed a few years ago…what an amazing procedure!….I have 20/20 vision now and before without my contacts or glasses I was legally blind!…

    Hang in there on your quest to lose weight because the end result is so worth it!

    Thanks! I had my right eye done two years ago and the left done today. Before it was like seeing in "HD" with the right eye and "rabbit ears with lots of snow" through the left one. I'm hoping they are both HD when the left is healed!

    Wednesday July 14:
    ✅ 1- Log daily weight in Fitbit
    ❎ 2- Veggies at each meal- missed ‘em at lunch (too busy to cook them and didn’t have any chewable options ready, poor planning) and I skipped breakfast, had it for afternoon snack instead. It was a crazy day.
    ✅ 3- Pre-log day (ok to change)
    ✅ 4- Walk 5 days a week (with friend- she made it again😀)

    Weekly total 11/26

    Thanks @lauriekallis 😀

    @Angel1960 i had a sleeve done 6 years ago and still have to track my calories. It was an amazing decision that I don’t regret in the slightest however if you don’t fix your eating it won’t work. My stomach has stretched and I can eat full portions now but it gave me the huge jump to get healthy. I have several friends that did it with me as well. Some have kept it off and some have gained it all back. Starting here is a great decision to help you on your journey. I’m an open book so feel free to ask anything you want!

    Are you not able to walk outside during self-isolation (while obviously keeping totally away from people)? I realize that population density and going out late at night may play a role in my dumb question.... but audiobooks (also available from your local library) are great for walkies!
