Went walking on Sunday and did another Pilates session yesterday. Had a bit of an emotional breakdown on Sunday afternoon over my redundancy so am making a conscious effort to keep doing things that I enjoy. Today is a rest day and boyfriend coming over for dinner. Planning another Pilates session tomorrow.6

1. Carbs 50-100 per day.63
2. Exercise at least 4 days a week for at least 15 minutes (try to get one core and one weight workout in the mix). rest
3. Eat more veggies and some fruit.Salad and steamed veggies with dinner.
Weight bounced up a bit from my overindulgences on Saturday. I've been low energy this week and overwhelmed at work so I'm lagging on my workouts.2 -

I had another First Date last night. It went well. Not sure if he is the ONE, but he'd make a nice friend. Time will tell, I guess.
Tonight's line dancing so looking forward to that! We learned a new dance last week, and I doubt I will ever get it! LOL! My weight is still so very slowly coming back down. Every time I've exerted my self, my weight has gone up. Now I understand the science of it, but it really makes me wonder about the benefits of exercise! I've gone 6-7 months without exercising and was losing weight fairly steady. Up to 10 pounds a month. Just by diet alone. Then I start finally exercising more, and my weight stalls, or goes up even though I'm eating basically the same. You read about people in the forums saying how they are watching what they are eating, working out for an hour or more, and can't lose weight. I feel like telling them to stop exercising! LOL!
Anyway, have a great Hump Day!3 -

Back to logging faithfully, getting daily activity and some meal prep. Those are my basics and they work. Makes me wonder why I ever stray from them. In any event, hubby has been willing to go for walks in our neighborhood after dinner, very helpful!
We are camping this weekend and will be HOT so keeping cool and eating right will be the priority. I'm hoping to get my bike out of the garage today, looking forward to some long rides.4 -
Yesterday was not pretty. Reached for the nutella and a spoon. So not good, but today determined to stay good. Scale is 154 so somewhat happy with that measure.5

Still going down. Looks like a pound a day. Went line dancing last night and will be going again tomorrow night. We average about 10k steps per class. Tomorrow night be more as we are taking a lake cruise around Lake George! I can't wait! Bottom deck is for beginners, middle deck is for the more improved group of which I'm in now, and the top deck is for the drinkers! LOL! Can't wait! It's going to be so much fun!6 -
Still stalled. It's fine (
)
I'm just exercising and waiting as patiently as possible. I know my body does this. Still hate it very very much but it is what it is. KCKO.

1. Carbs 50-100 per day. 63
2. Exercise at least 4 days a week for at least 15 minutes (try to get one core and one weight workout in the mix). Still no workout. I've just been achy and blah and focusing on rest.
3. Eat more veggies and some fruit. Cabbage based dinner.4 -
No exercise yesterday as my back was a bit painful in the morning so decided to not chance it. Felt better today so did 25 minutes of Pilates. Really enjoying this at the moment, it’s mentally soothing as well as really working the muscles. I really need that mental calm right now.5
-
Still doing the things and trying to watch portions. The scale decided to cooperate and dropped 2.2 pounds. Weird but I’ll take it. That’s my first loss in several weeks. Maybe this is a start of good things to come.6
-
My body comp scale is still sitting unopened on my coffee table. It is brazenly taunting me. I have 12 days left in this challenge to conquer it.5
-
No change since Wed. I ate well but had no activity so no surprise. Helping son#2 with yardwork tomorrow (part of our camping plan LOL). I'm going to need to pack some extra water bottles for the heat! Think I'll make some crystal light ice cubes to throw in for flavor.5
-
Same garbage for me. Doing what I should, no results. Just waiting... impatiently

-
Today is arm workout with cardio 2.4 miles. My dog is way too friendly she has to visit with everyone we pass and they love her. I try to make sure we don't pass people so I can get a decent workout done.6

1. Carbs 50-100 per day. 73
2. Exercise at least 4 days a week for at least 15 minutes (try to get one core and one weight workout in the mix). I've basically declared this a rest week.
3. Eat more veggies and some fruit. Berries for breakfast and I had some tomato sauce with dinner so not so great on this.
Down from my last Saturday overindulgence on food/drink. Still no real loss.4 -

Went line dancing again last night so that makes it 3 times this week! My legs are like jelly! Last night, the venue we were at must have been having AC issues because it was hot in there! But I stayed with it! I only sat out one dance. Friday night we were dancing on a boat cruise! Now that was fun! Especially when the boat hit some waves and started rockin'! Threw us off our balance! But what fun it was! This summer, the group I'm with has some great dance events. Monday, Memorial Day, we will be dancing in the streets again for the Memorial Day parade in a town not too far away. Then each week there will be extra chances to dance!
When I lost all the weight initially, the skin on my inner thighs, upper arms and belly were very flabby. I've noticed that the skin on my thighs is starting to firm up! Too bad I can't line dance on my hands and firm up the bat wings! Also, my posterior end is taking shape too! Not bad for a 58 year old lady! Now if I could just get down to my goal weight!
Have a great Sunday!5
