    Whew, im glad i didnt have too many pages to read through. I feel like ive been MIA forever.

    I did DDR on Wednesday and im not dead! In fact im planning on going again tomorrow!
    Therapy at home has been getting easier! I still feel very weak, but im happy that therapy is much less of a pain than it used to. And it means im getting stronger. Im glad i decided to go my own pace and not force athletics. Its not about what you feel you *should* do, but what you *can* (and want to) do. That change in outlook changed my life so immensely.
    Soon i think ill be able to move onto calisthenics other than stretching. :)

    Today marks six weeks into Weight Watchers. Thats hafway thru my three month commit. Im so happy i signed up. Im finally on autopilot with dieting and weightloss. Its been such a success for me, im sure i will continue after the three months are over. Im still losing roughly 5# a week. At this rate ill hit my goal in around six months. Im feeling better, exaclt how i felt when i was lower weight before, but at a higher weight, prolly cause im doing this slow and sustainably.

    Wow -- 5# a week! You are doing great .. so much better than I am. I am lucky to lose .5 pounds a week.. very frustrating.

    Honestly, today I want to just get through it. I had a very difficult time at my new speech therapist today (I have a what you might scale a 11/10 stutter) and it effects my social life, my ability to communicate and it can be overwhelming some days, and today my friends, is one of those days. So my goal for today, is to just accept it, believe in myself, and accomplish just being me today. I always want to "chat" to new people, so if you want to friend me go ahead, I want to support others and typing is my way of being social, as well saying hello can be a 45 min uphill climb somedays. Thanks for your time everyone.

    welcome .. glad you are joining us!

    1. LOG ALL FOOD
    2. CONCENTRATE ON WATER

    Thats it for today .. keeping it simple as for health goals.


    Dya know, these were gonna be my exact goals today.
    I'm also binge eating, not really paying attention to what I'm eating etc. Like completely mindless. So yeah the 5lb challenge was a bit of an eye opener especially when it went in the wrong direction! I was thinking "Christ I can't even do 1lb, never mind 5lb"


    But yesterday I was on my manic cleaning spree and I still have some left over momentum which I'm gonna throw into the fitness side of things. It needs to stop being on the back burner and become a priority.

    Which led me to a great thought this morning whilst having my morning brew, I'm pretty sure I've heard the concept before SOMEWHERE but I have no idea where. But either way it came to me.

    Choice.
    So many choices. Some, we don't even realise we could make a choice about as it something that comes natural to us.
    Take my cup of tea this morning, I always have 2 sugars. And it's just standard, grab the sugar, not even thinking, 2 scoops. Done.
    Today I made the choice to have 1 sugar.
    It was a conscious choice, but for how long had it been an automatic choice to just have 2.

    Which got me thinking, all throughout the day were gonna have these little choices, should I have that chocolate bar, should I eat them left over cookies, should I have an energy drink or a water.
    Last night, I ate too many snack foods again. And like Joan said, you can try everything there is in the book but it all comes down to YOU. I made the choice to eat them things, I made the choice to not exercise, I made the choice to gain the 30lbs I lost by making all these wrong little choices over the last year. There was ALWAYS an alternative. It was always there, I just never seeked it out.

    So for today, I'm going to be aware of my choices and always look for the alternative. And hopefully "choose" my way into a better lifestyle.

    - Log ALL food.

    I'm doing my goals a little different for a while ... I am going to be doing "weekly" goals, but putting a smile for each day I've succeeded. Ha.. just switching it up to give myself that kick I need!!
    @Bex posted such a great post.. about choices. It is all about the choices we make ... in the grocery store, when we eat, how much we eat, etc. Do we really want those M&M, which are 250 calories, or could we make a hot chocolate instead,or a nice bowl of fruit. Do I need to buy that ice cream.. .or can I buy some sugar free pudding mix instead.
    Hubby and I were talking sunday.. because he knew how down I am on myself. He pretty much gave me a pep talk, about how women see themselves in the mirror very critical. He says a guy can look in the mirror, and say, boy, they look great. They see someone slim and fit. A women, no matter how trim she is, will look in the mirror and see a overweight person. That is me. I do have 20-30# to lose, but I am also very fit because I work out a lot. My husband tells me I look great .. (except for my tummy area). He tells me for 71, he doesn't want me to be skinny. Ha... I'm a long way from skinny, but I am so thankful to have a husband that loves me no matter my size. Yes .. too much weight, but, I am still healthy. But I know to keep from having health problems, I need to get off this extra weight I am carrying around.
    So for all of us .. look in the mirror and see all the positives you have going for you. Don't look at the negatives.
    And... decide what you choose to do! Make the choice today about how you want your day to go!
    SO, my goals for the week are NO SNACKING except for a protein shake. This is the choice I will make for 7 days.. I can do this, right!!!!
    Lets all make a choice, just this week, to change just one thing.
    We can do this!!!!

    **********************

    • I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 7,500 steps :smiley:
    6) Participate in my favorite area races ~ I walk, I do not run
    • Registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.4.23 ~ skipped 2023 due to frigid temps with wind chill around 0F... didn't want a repeat of overuse injury from last winter. In 2022, I had to cancel race due to inflammation in knees from overuse & arthritis (medico advised).

    72 yo Oregonian who has lost over 50 lbs three different times. First time with no support. Second time with MFP and the third time with TOP (take off pounds sensibly. On 2/9 I weighed 195 returning from a vacation in New Orleans. A trip to Mexico in November is my motivation to LOOSE. I am a nudist and my skin is comfortable at any weight yet the required swimsuit in Mexico is NOT comfortable.

    2/11….AF..Had a great calorie count day. Went for a 2 mile walk for the first time in ages. I was shocked when I entered the raw peanuts in a shell in my food diary. WHAT 11 calories each peanut…:( While healthy I was out of control eating them. No alcohol or empty calories.

    2/12…AF!!! Kept my calorie count down from my limit. :) Got off my lazy butt and went for a two mile walk. Feeling better about myself. Just got back from 4 days in New Orleans. Had to buy new jeans in a bigger size for the trip…shopping for jeans motivated me. It was an awful experience. :(

    2/13…AF…190#. Usually I wait to the next morning before reporting. Tonight I figure if I report todays it might keep me from eating while watching a movie. Calories are less than allowed. Shopped making good food choices. Just did the produce department. I try to be on a plant base diet so it’s pretty easy to shop.

    @Bex953172 - I like your CHOICE idea I may try to steal
    It.

    @mytime6630 - it is health that is making me want to get the weight off. I would be good with a 35 lb loss.

    Haha love how I give a whole motivational speech about choices and ^^^THAT^^^ was all it amounted to 😂😂

    So where I went wrong was I didn't log dinner. I should have, but I didn't, I made that choice to "log it later" knowing full well I'd forget. And then from that it got worse because I then didn't log some of the snacks and at the point who knows what I was snacking on last night.
    And I went wrong on the water because I didn't get enough in before bedtime
    I need to do 6 before bedtime to hit my goal.

    But I'm sticking with it, sticking with the choices. Might make that word of the year rather than a goal.

    JFT Tues 14th Feb 💕❤️😍😘

    (Happy Valentines everyone!)
    - Log all food
    - 8 waters
    - Take Meds


    Can't promise to log all the food because it's gonna be an indulgent day today. But I'll try my best!
