@fmfdfa2020 I can't help but share about my absolutely favorite mashed potatoes recipe when you mentioned adding milk to them.
First, I use only gold potatoes because they are so creamy and buttery, never russets. I generously salt the boiling water.
Second, I drain the potatoes and save the potato water in a coffee mug to add back in little by little as needed while mashing. All the potato starch in the water makes the mashed potatoes thick creamy and really flavorful. No milk needed at all.
Third, mash in your needed amount of kerrygold butter, salt, and pepper.
I've found that adding the potato water back instead of milk lets me cut the butter I use way down and brings out more flavor in the potatoes.
Optional add ins: cream cheese and/or a bulb of roasted garlic (cut the top off of bulb of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and roast in the toaster oven for about 45-60 minutes. once cooled, just squeeze out the garlic and mash away). It's super easy to make the fanciest tasting mashed potatoes as long as you remember to start the garlic early. I use the toaster oven to save on energy costs but you can always do a batch of them and store in the fridge till you're ready to use.4 -

@shmmm3 That is so cool - no milk! Love it! I will try this next time. I only use gold potatoes too. I love garlic mash potatoes. My husband has been growing garlic for years, so plenty of it. I think roasted garlic is the best but I do remember seeing Martha Stewart add garlic cloves to her boiling water with her potatoes, then just squeeze the garlic out. Sounds so easy but I haven't tried it. I've never added cream cheese. I will try adding a little. Thanks! Debra4 -

@SheilaBoneham I haven't tried almond milk. I don't know why since my husband drinks it and has tried to get me to try it. It may be a mental thing with my severe allergy to peanuts, I've always stayed away from all nuts except for pecans (why, just pecans, I have no idea ) I'll have to give the almond milk a try, or maybe soy milk. There are certain times where you just need milk, like yesterday when I wanted mashed potatoes. Thank you!
I'm glad to see you and @shmmm3 are joining me and @musicsax in the 100-day binge-free challenge!!
Not sure if you're willing, but I've also tried oat milk (not a nut!) if you need to ease it. I bounce around the non-dairy milk types based on what is on sale/cheaper at the time.
@CamandJarvis Wow, I definitely don't know much about all the different milk products. I've always drank cow's milk but I never quite felt right afterwards, and an allergy test has now confirmed my allergy. I always wanted to stop it anyway because I don't think it's good for you. I'm allergic to eggs also, but I haven't eaten them in a long time because they make me too sick. I'm pretty much allergic to everything under the sun - it's absolutely nuts (pun intended : ) So, oat milk? I have never heard of it. I just asked my husband and he said are you sure they didn't say goat's milk (he was trying to be funny LOL). Anyway, I just googled it and will try it for sure, along with almond milk, soy milk and mashed potatoes with no milk. Thanks everyone!!3 -

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Saw this and will be putting one in my fridge, freezer, and pantry. Or, I might keep the days without binge number on it and cross out and update the number daily.

Starting up exercise and losing weight again after a long, forced hiatus, so...this feels like a good way to start things off!

***************************************
3/11 150.2 (trend 151.9)
3/12 151.6 (trend 151.8)
3/13 151.6 (trend 151.8) Had a poor night's sleep, OH chose to sleep in a different room after not speaking to me all day, he's so stubborn sometimes. Woke at 4am and knew I wasn't going to get back to sleep as I was fretting about an early appointment at the doctors for a cervical screening, yuck. So got up, weighed and made a coffee. Not sure I'm going to make it to the gym today as I'm really tired. My weight is really resisting my efforts, but I refuse to drop below 1200 calories or increase my exercise any further as I will make myself ill. Better just to keep doing what I'm doing, at least I'm lighter than I was at the start of the year and much fitter.
2hrs strength training, 1hr walking yesterday, and I forgot to have dinner, so under calories, oops. Craving carbs today, I need the energy. Round goal weight is set for basically the same weight I was at the start of last round, so should be doable. I am leaving for a week in Portugal on the last day of this round so I want to give this round my 100%... except not today!
3/14 150.6 (trend 151.6) I didn't do any exercise yesterday. I had a busy morning with a Dr appointment, then decided to go and use a sunbed to get a bit of base colour on my skin. Not something I've done for many years, and I've only done 3 or 4 times ever, but I'd forgotten how warm and relaxing it is, even if it is so bad for you! Once in a while can't matter that much, can it?
My weight is down today but I think it's just dehydration as my eyes felt really puffy when I woke up. I went over calories by a few hundred, I just felt like taking it easy. Had my first hot cross bun of the year, soooo good!
I haven't planked for a few days, need to get back on it.
3/15 147.2 (trend 151.0) What the heck? I couldn't believe my eyes, 3.4lbs gone over night! I am late posting today as I couldn't really process the number. I think some will come back tomorrow as I've been very thirsty so think I'm still dehydrated. Hopefully not all of it will come back though...
3/16 150.8 (trend 151.0) As expected, back up again, sigh. Definitely just water weight, but what I don't know is if I'm retaining water or just normally hydrated. I thought about taking water pills but think it's a bad idea, if my body is retaining water then there must be a good reason for it. At this point I can't see myself getting solidly into the 140s ever, gah, never mind the almost 30lbs I want to lose to get to my goal weight of 122.4!
3/17 151.4 (trend 151.0) Argh, so infuriating! Met all my targets yesterday, strength training for 1hr, over 10,000 steps, calories within range, lots of water. Sigh. Well, the positives are I'm progressing well with weights, it was legs day and I made improvements on all my sets. Planking is getting better, I can do 3 x 1 minutes with 90 seconds rest between, before I was spreading it out during the day. I have ordered some resistance bands to take to Portugal next week as I will have a lot of time free because OH will be working so I will be able to keep up with the workouts. I'm determined not to come back with a gain.
My DD's granddad's funeral will be on the 4th April so I'm relieved that I will be back by then. No news from her father though, I think he has cut contact from all his family, he's really taking it badly. He's currently on a boat somewhere in the English channel, I hope he's OK. Not really fair to be worrying everyone at a time such as this.

I like going into the city about once a year, get my fill of things it offers (always great food) and then catch the train home. I’m not sure how I will count calories today, but WTH.

I really like that sign. Jordan Syatt says to ask yourself if you are really hungry enough to eat an apple to check if it’s boredom. This makes me pause and consider as I’m circling the kitchen.4 -
Hi everyone! My names Brad, 27yo, 6ft3', from the UK - I'm back (new mfp account) after almost 4 years!! I went from 145kg down to 90kg last time I was here, but now after LIFE, grief etc etc I'm back up to 120kg (BOO) and 1 year away from my wedding. I'm hoping you can all help me keep on track!
Round 217
3/13 - 120.2kg / 264.5lbs / 18st 13lbs - No weigh day (started 3/14)
3/14 - 120.2kg / 264.5lbs / 18st 13lbs - This was inevitable, I'm back into most of my fat clothes (I now own everything from a small to an XXL), my routine is awful and blah blah blah. Today is the start, lessss go!
3/15 - 118.6kg / 261.5lbs / 18st 10lbs - first week is always my favourite, day 1 of calorie deficit complete and couldn't be happier. Time to keep up this consistency!!
3/16 - 118.0kg / 260.2 lbs / 18st 9lbs - Calorie deficit starting to feel a bit easier. Earl days though. Scales going the right direction so I'm happy...
3/17 - 117.7kg / 259.5 lbs / 18st 8lbs - Wow, that was a struggle. God I was craving a big greasy pizza, eurgh. Ended up eating Melon and Mango to stave off the hunger. Still, the scale is trending the right direction.. Although I fully expect a few bumps in the road to be coming soon...

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 217 (my 148th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
Goal for this round; again I'm not looking at a specific number, any loss and keeping clear of binges, keep within calories & macros. I can do this but, consistency is paramount, let’s do it again for just for 10 days as the reward is great!!Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 130. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

3/13 – 147.8 lbs – Okay… that is quite an uptick since yesterday. I am assuming it is carb-bloat, because for the past few days, I have been eating basically anything that seems appealing as I have been feeling very weak and still like I’m recovering from the gastroenteritis from last week. Yesterday I was so exhausted, I could barely do anything. I had planned on starting back to counting calories etc. yesterday but as I was feeling so tired and dizzy I thought I’d better just try to give my body some fuel and see if that helped. I am feeling better this morning, so far. I am off to a late start, however, which is anxiety-causing, because I don’t want to be late for work. I actually don’t even want to work (surprise, surprise) but I really need to because my boss already thinks I’m an idiot and totally useless. You know what, I am just going to do my best today. That is all I can do. Nothing is going to be perfect today, and that is okay. I actually just started a new Word doc and typed that out a few times. NOTHING IS GOING TO BE PERFECT TODAY, AND THAT IS OKAY. I guess I finally did some “affirmations”… Anyhoo, so for this round, I have lowered my goal weight to 140 lbs. At nobody’s advice. Just as a lark. I’m not really invested in reaching that particular goal weight, to be honest. I am curious. But I won’t be destroyed if I never make it. If I can hover around 145 lbs and eventually get some more skin-removal surgeries happening, that is actually still pretty frickin amazing. But let’s put it to 140 lbs and see what happens. According to MFP, to get to that weight I need to eat 1345 cals per day. So I set that as a goal above, as well. I’m going to keep my step goal to 14K, and I will try to add in my jogging spurts when I am feeling a bit more recovered from being sick and when the side-walks are cleared of ice and snow. (Friggin snow.) I want and need to attend all 8 out of the next 8 work days. It is an imperative. I have been tasked with leading a project and being sick put me at risk of failing to meet my timelines/objectives. I have upped my fluids to 10 cups a day which is HUGE for me. However, when I was at the hospital and had a CT scan they informed me that I was hugely uh… full of … uh… you know. The old system is pretty backed up, to say the least. They actually prescribed a laxative, but when I got home from the hospital a huge bout of TMI started and lasted for about 30 hours or so. But I know I rarely drink enough and I’m sure that is part of the problem (along with the iron and calcium supplements and high percentage of protein that I eat). So I lowered my protein goal for now and I will try to get some more fluids in. But 10 is a lot. And I don’t just count water, I count any fluid which I know on this site is controversial. LOL. Finally, my last goal for this round is to try to regulate my sleep cycle. I have always struggled with sleep and I really need to clean up my sleep hygiene. So I will start with baby steps and try to go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time every day. Alright, I need to eat something and go walk my damn dog. Have a good day people. But be kind to yourselves and remember: NOTHING IS GOING TO BE PERFECT TODAY, AND THAT IS OKAY!
3/14 – 146.4 lbs – Today was the first day that I have actually felt better since I was sick last week.
3/15 – 146.2 lbs – I didn’t write much yesterday and I didn’t even post! Oops. It was a busy day. But here I am, getting ready for the day (I had insomnia again. Damn you, PTSD). I am reviewing my goals above and I see that I have been doing great with my work attendance (and I have been killin’ it at work, too!) but I see that I have not yet stuck to my calorie goal nor reached my fluids goal. So there are my areas of focus today. I have to go into the city on the train for work today, so I likely won’t reach my steps goal as I won’t be walking my dog today. (The dog walker will do it – maybe I should give him my Fitbit! 😉) I want to try to reach my fluids goal, because it is super dry in my office and I always end up feeling so gross by the end of the day, and I wonder if it is because I am dehydrated. It’s just that carrying my laptop AND a bunch of water to work is really heavy! I’ll have to get into the habit of buying some water when I get off the train to take to the office with me. Luckily, I only have to go in one day this week. So yesterday my hubby did some progress pics for me. My starting weight was 220 lbs in January 2022 (I struggled for several months to get going and bounced up and down until I started to have some success in March 2022). So with a sides-by-side comparison I can really see my progress. It is actually quite mind blowing. I honestly didn’t realize how fat I was in my starting pic. I was size 2x or 18-20. Now I am Medium in tops and around size 8 in pants, depending on the store. Anyway, I found it pretty helpful to see the progress. I see that I (a) need to start saving for a circumferential body lift, and (b) still could stand to lose a few more pounds. So I am happy that I have recently lowered my goal weight to 140 lbs. Hubby also took all my measurements and I put them in MFP. I had never done that before. I am now not so much interested in seeing if the numbers go down with weight loss, but rather, I am interested to keep track because I intend to get back into the gym 2-3 times a week and I am curious to see if I actually increase any of those numbers, with muscle. Yesterday after work I went to the pharmacist for my monthly B12 shot and when she gave me the shot in the arm, she scolded me, “You are losing your muscle! I don’t think the needle hit muscle.” YIKES! (It is supposed to be an intramuscular injection.) So tomorrow morning I am scheduling myself back to the gym. Even if I can only do 2 days a week for now, that is better than no days per week. It would be a start, and at least a way to get back into a habit. Well, that is probably more than enough rambling for one day! I will end by saying that hubby is supportive of my plastic surgery plan, which is if I can maintain being under 150 lbs for one year that I can start planning my circumferential body lift. I have been maintaining ~150 since February 1st, with the help of this challenge, to be quite honest. So, let’s see if I can maintain for a year. I have NEVER done that before. NEVER….
3/16 – 144.0 lbs – Well, I am happy with that number on the scale. I can’t complain, especially since yesterday I kind of came to the conclusion that “under 150” or “around 150” was a good place to try to maintain for a year. Here’s a little update on my goals for this round: So I have yet to eat 1345 calories. I am sitting around 1550/day over the last three days, which honestly, is not that bad. Steps are solidly over 14K for the last three days, which I am proud of. I am not sure how that is possible for yesterday, however, as I had to go in to the office and didn’t walk the dog. My fear is that my Fitbit is counting “typing” as steps. Oops. Hope not. Work is good! 3/3 days so far! Let me see if I can keep the trend going! And I am able to concentrate/focus on tasks for a lot of the day! I seem to crash around 3 pm, but at least before that I do quite well! Fluids, well, I am not able to make it to 10 cups of fluids per day, yet. Yesterday I kind of lost track but I made an effort to constantly be sipping on something. I think I came in at 9/10 cups, which for me is fantastic progress. Lastly, my bed and wake times are doing pretty good. It is good to be working to some kind sleep schedule. As I said, baby steps. Lol. Well, I am off to walk my dog. Have a great day, everyone!! 😊
3/17 – 143.0 lbs – Wow! I am killin it!! Not much time to write/reflect, today, because I had messed up sleep last night and “slept in” till 4:20 AM. Ah, the life of a dog-reactive dog momma!

3/17 - 159.0 - No hugs, just bloated. I knew the second my alarm went off and I stood up out of bed the scale would be up. I can feel the puffiness and heaviness. Looking in the mirror only confirmed. It'll drop off today or tomorrow. Yesterday I had every computer issue you could think of and then internet went out. All is good this morning with access to everything but I have 3 deadlines today and I'm certainly not finishing them after fighting technology all day rather than making progress on work. Stress will be a huge factor. Will need to stay mindful and remind myself that it is absolutely NOT my fault. Today is bodyweight and 5k training. I'm unsure about the running, though. It's 37, feels like 26 with 35mph winds and gusts of 45-50mph. I can hear the wind right now and it sounds simply awful. Rather than catch up today and tomorrow (Week 2 day 2 and W2D3 respectively) to start Week 3 on Monday like the app is set up for, I may end up pushing it out. Tomorrow morning has a chance of snow! IN TEXAS! Nope, no slick road running for me. I have enough injuries, I don't need more! With that said, food will be a little more restricted than days with both workouts. Lunch was out yesterday so I still have salad stuff for lunch today. Unsure dinner at this point. BF is skipping workouts today due to weather so it'll be later before we determine dinner.

Previous Day's Comments3/13 - Just like last round, I end up with a woosh on the first day and it gets me right to my goal. Hopefully this round I'll be able to maintain it and not having any big bloating days. Need to figure out how to get both bodyweight and run in. I'm about to do bodyweight but with this daylight savings time, sunrise isn't until after 7am when I have to be on the computer. I'm thinking, since almost nobody is on until after 8am, I'll hop on work for a bit, go run when it gets lighter out, and then resume work after. BF running, too, and he may run in the dark and if that's the case, I'll do that, too. I feel better with another person out there with me in the dark (wildlife, not monsters haha!!!)
3/14 - No sudden movements or you may scare the scale back up... I figured I'd see an uptick today after a heavy dinner. I do have leftovers for lunch so tomorrow may still show an uptick, especially with chicken enchiladas for dinner tonight. Once I post, I'm doing my rowing machine sprints as cross training. I'm procrastinating due to a morning tension headache. I need a new pillow better for back sleepers (which I seem to have become in the last two weeks or so...) Anyway, much warmer inside and the pups don't feel as left out. Like last night, I'll likely take them for a walk.
3/15 - All good. I managed to avoid a stress eating incident by allowing myself one peanut butter dark chocolate granola bar and I'm very proud of that. I'll wear this slight uptick like a badge of honor for what it really means. I was already over calories based on pre-logging lunch and dinner. I had hoped an after dinner walk and movement through day would help. Unfortunately, work popped off and I found out I had about 5-6 days worth of work to somehow finish by end of day. Working overtime about 2.5 hours, it's all on my mentor's desk (mountain time so an hour behind me) for review. Should give me plenty of time this morning to take a short hiatus for my run once the sun shows it's beautiful face. I did end up with a very short after dinner walk with pups. The cows were on the road near my turnaround point and I was unsure how cows would react to the dogs. Something's better than nothing! Assuming MFP and Fitbit estimate calories burned high, I was MFP= 300 over and Fitbit = 200 over so either slight deficit or around maintenance. MFP makes me assume, for the sake of notes to reflect on, maintenance calories for the day. Today may be another stressful work day so I'm about to try to get all that stress from yesterday knocked out with bodyweight and then with running before replenishing it hahaha. Better than doubling up on it! Hoping another evening walk with the pups. Storms forecast tomorrow so I'll really try for their sakes to get them out. They love it and I'm a sucker for those puppy dog eyes (especially since there's a true "puppy" doing them. He's gooooood at getting me to melt). Off I go for this workout!
3/16 - Whew. I was a bit worried as I couldn't track anything last night but relied on memory to get it done this morning (I did). I just couldn't see if I was going over my calories. Ended up having a last minute bike night from the local store (where we purchased the dirtbikes. Much nicer than the motorcycle club situations. Plus female riders welcome, which is a first. Guess I better get my butt back on the bike and practice to ride into town). BF smoked a beer can chicken and baked beans so we ate before we left. But I did indulge in beer while there and hanging out which wasn't planned. It didn't make for a very restful night, though. I ended up waking up to my alarm only to come curl up on the couch until my 7am work alarm (which my desk was 2 steps away). The pups joined me which I'm sure was a sight. A full grown woman with 2 40+ pound dogs on a tiny loveseat. But it was cozy and they kept me warm since I didn't have a blanket. Today was a scheduled rest day but BF took Harley for a run and poor Smoke was whining the entire time so now I have to take him for a walk in a few once it's a little brighter. Damp and foggy but no storms, thankfully, as forecasted. No idea on dinner but lunch will likely be another salad again using up the leftover chicken from enchiladas and all those veg before they go bad.

Hi All - Robyn yo-yo here! I'm in for another round. I lost around four pounds during round 215 only to gain it back during 216, so I'm a bit frustrated with myself but not giving up. My goal is to stop fooling around and to lose 10-14 pounds over the next 6 rounds (by May).

@SheilaBoneham I haven't tried almond milk. I don't know why since my husband drinks it and has tried to get me to try it. It may be a mental thing with my severe allergy to peanuts, I've always stayed away from all nuts except for pecans (why, just pecans, I have no idea ) I'll have to give the almond milk a try, or maybe soy milk. There are certain times where you just need milk, like yesterday when I wanted mashed potatoes. Thank you!
I'm glad to see you and @shmmm3 are joining me and @musicsax in the 100-day binge-free challenge!!
Not sure if you're willing, but I've also tried oat milk (not a nut!) if you need to ease it. I bounce around the non-dairy milk types based on what is on sale/cheaper at the time.
My little DGS is dairy free and drinks oat milk, on the odd occasion when they have visited us (it's normally easier for us to go there) I've got oat milk in for him and if I forget to give it DD to take home I've used it on cereal or in oats for porridge; it's ok. Don't think I'd like it in coffee though!!3 -

I really like that sign. Jordan Syatt says to ask yourself if you are really hungry enough to eat an apple to check if it’s boredom. This makes me pause and consider as I’m circling the kitchen.
Trouble is I really like apples do that wouldn't work for 😂. When on a binge I've been know to eat things I didn't really like!!!4 -

3/13 DNW TRAVELING. I have been attacked my the dreaded "in a/c out a/c" cold. Couldn't lay head down for sleep. Can't breathe. Sinuses exploding. Today is last ball game so I am masking up and going to make the best of it. The Blue Jays have won all three games. Let's hope for all four! Its a 2.6 mile walk to the park mostly on a trail and the rain is holding off. Therefore its another walk day. Lots of water and leftover penne chicken piccata dinner.
3/14 DNW TRAVELING. Yesterday was another win! Didn't stay the whole game. Blue Jays 16 Boston 3. Walked 5.2 miles there and back. Leaving today for 1 night at home before its March Madness games. I am tagging out though and husband is joining my son. Got my steps and got over 1000 calories eaten. A good day! Tomorrow morning I get to weigh in and see what my body liked/disliked this week.
Posted
3/15 217.8 Doing well on exercise but failing on calorie intake. Today I will do better. Off to grab protien shakes then home to shake up my eating schedule. I am aiming for many small meals throughout the day. Today I get 3x rebounder yay! Leaving again tonight for adventures with my son and won't be weighing till Monday. PS- my son has now limited me to 1 snuggle session per day lol.
3/16 DNW TRAVELING. At MIL till Sunday. She likes to eat out. Packed my lunches to bring and finally bought protien shakes. Had two yesterday and actually met my macros for the first time and hovering around 1000 calories so working on that increase. Still full from last night's jimmy john sub but proud to say I ate it all. Will need to work hard at getting my steps today.
3/17 DNW TRAVELING. Failed steps yesterday. Failed calorie intake. Had two chicken salad mini tortillas for lunch, two protien shakes and didn't eat dinner. Will have bought salad hopefully tonight. My men don't have march madness games to attend today so off to a local bar to watch the other games. I will join them but do some walking to get my steps.7 -
Hello my friends...sorry I missed the last day of R216. I had a great visit with some friends...my joy bucket is filled...but so was my belly. Time to get back on track as we leave for Mexico in 15 days!!! I wanted to get down to 170 or below by then but last round wasn't super awesome so I'm just going to be hopefully optimistic about that goal.

3/13 - 176.4 - Bleh - result of many laughs and tears over too many glasses of Prosecco on the weekend. But it's Monday and I'm committing to tracking everything this week...even the scone I had for breakfast today (I brought them home for the boys but apparently they haven't noticed them). I will see it when I open my app to track lunch and dinner and will make good choices for a balanced day. Last morning with my parents' dog, so I'm also looking forward to some good hikes this week without the pokey little puppy, Mack and I are both missing them. I'm feeling the time shift this morning so we will get out for a walk but probably keep it lighter, I can hop on the elliptical later if I have an energy burst. Have a great start to the week everyone!!!
3/14 - 175.6 - right direction. Feeling off today again...slept horribly, my lower back is super tight. Wanted to hike today but think I'll stick to a light walk to loosen things up and then some stretching, don't want to end up in the woods with my back seizing up.
3/15 - 175.6 - again. Bright sunny day today! Would have been a great day for a hike...but we planned a family day for the boys on their march break. I got rush seats for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child so we are heading to Toronto today to see the matinee and then hang out for a while, hit some record shops and have dinner. Should be fun but there won't be much activity with the drive and a 3 hour play. I will be mindful of what I choose for dinner tonight.
3/16 - 176.4 - *sigh* - I seem to be getting really good at maintaining this 2lb range, been at it for 2 weeks, too bad it's 30lb from my goal weight. I've been far to sedentary the last little while...there seems to be an excuse everyday and that's totally on me. Going to finish my coffee and strap on my boot spikes and head to the woods with the dog for a good long hike this morning.
3/17 - 175.4 - Was definitely bloated...but I still need to work on activity/exercise. Did get in a great hike with lots of hills yesterday....and a good thing as it's miserable and raining today which is going to make the trails horrible for the next while, I'm going to have to come up with another routine that gets my blood pumping. I think we'll be heading to the pub for some Irish fare and a few pints when hubby gets home from his ski patrol shift (what he's patrolling in the rain I don't know) so just some eggs and fruit for breakfast and probably veggies and hummus for lunch to save up those calories for a steak and guiness pie and a pint.
