Love that quote @Jana_2020!
Good to see you back @Mrs_Hoffer – just in time to do those ice cream walks again!
The quote is from an Australian lady whom I discovered on YouTube during the pandemic: Schellae (Shelly) Fowler Fabulous 50s. She has some great exercise videos including beginner ones (which I needed as someone whose lifetime exercise has consisted of only walking, hiking, jogging, biking and swimming). I needed guidance and something that was doable but still a decent workout.0 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes

Passed Days Used 34/5/2023 just one of "those" days

4/19/2023 - Lost my mind. Dinner was leftovers with controlled portions. Just wasn't satisfied, and then I lost my mind. First a 130 calorie bag of pistachio's. Nope - that didn't do it..2 cups of skinny popcorn ....salt is satisfied.... now want candy. 3 pieces of candy (like a turtle). Ok done...Yikes
I'm good so far...but after staring in the pantry....what is your go-to "snack" when you've consumed your meals and want something else! Maybe could be a daily post question...
I got nuts and trail mix...probably best choice...but don't want it.
Popcorn.,,,don't want it
Fruit.... wont satisfy the feeling..
Doubling on dinner - CHicken and brocolli... will definitely put me over
Chocolate - A Strong contender...and I have enough calories if I stop at one
Pork Skins. Usually my goto , but I don't have any.....
Help!!!
In the past, I've put myself "to bed" with a cup of sweet herbal tea. It's kind of like a "time out". I clean and tidy the kitchen (shine the sink too) and consider it closed. Then I would head upstairs to my bedroom with a hot cup of sweet herbal tea and I'm not allowed to go back downstairs. I either sat in my chair and read or lounged in bed with Netflix. It was challenging but it was what I did when I first started on here to stop the after-supper snacking. That was about 2 years ago and I can say that now I no longer snack once dinner is consumed. But at the time, it required some strong self-discipline: I literally talked to myself like a child and timed myself out on the upper floor. But like I said, I can now sit downstairs after supper and no longer have the urge to graze once my dinner is finished. A lot of the journey on here is breaking old habits and retraining and establishing new habits.3 -

3 "$*kitten*" days used and holding on.. LOL.
Welcome back @Mrs_Hoffer Teresa your timing is impeccable. Hope your eyesight has finally settled down also and your new home is all settled.2 -
Apr 23, no to all 3.
Interestingly enough, I've just weighed myself and lost 1.2 lbs. For the last 10 days, I've had a UTI and have been drinking cranberry juice (high in sugar and calories). I've also been tired and not concerned with exercising. I haven't been sticking to the diet plan (probably was eating at Maintenance) but I did have several days where I ate some sweets and treats. And... I lost weight lol.
However it could be that I have been off anti-anxiety meds for about a month so perhaps my metabolism is finally getting back to normal? Regardless, I'll take it!2 -
@Mrs_Hoffer Welcome back! You have been missed glad to read that retirement is treating you well.1
