Get Shorty

My mini goal is to show a loss of 3lbs this week. I have been losing a steady 3 for a couple of weeks now. Feels good to be back in the game and not fighting myself!

Another fairly successful week! 14 days without alcohol... it helps my mood. Still not sleeping well at night. I think when I increase my exercise, I will finally start sleeping better.

Had a successful weekend... I can't remember the last time I had a successful weekend so that's huge for me. I always do better when I eliminate wine and cocktails. I have shared before that I love wine... it is so much a part of my life. My circle of friends go wine tasting up in Paso Robles all the time and we have…

Thank you for your kind words @KATRENAJ means a lot. My friend went with me on an Alaska cruise last summer. So glad we did it. Getting back on track. I keep an excel sheet of my weight and have since 2004. It really shows my history and how my weight goes up during times of trouble. I am obviously a stress eater. I was…

Well... hello. I'm back. I have been gone for a while -- had family conflict challenges and I lost a dear friend to cancer. In the process I managed to gain 6 pounds and weighed in at the highest weight I have been in 6 years. Well, no time like the present. I would like to join the Autumn Challenge! Here we go! Super…

Monday check-in... so this weekend I had two big steps forward. #1 EXERCISE -- I actually went to the gym! It was the first time since my foot surgery. I decided to try the elliptical and see how my foot did and I was able to burn about 200 calories and work up a little sweat. I have not sweat since the surgery and it felt…

It's so exciting to see all the new people and all of the regulars who are participating in the Spring Challenge. I am working on getting my mojo back to really try and make a difference this time. This last weekend, I was starting to lose my drive... made really bad choices and then finally recognized that this could…

I am with you @canyongeek !!! If I don't have my fitbit, I am bummed that my walking won't count. But in reality it really does. LOL!

@Nikion901 -- I had a time in my life when I was experiencing great loss and I let my house get totally out of control. When it just felt too overwhelming, I went to the internet for help. I found a great site called Flylady.net. I took a few great tips from that site that I still use now. Like for instance, if I am…

Thanks everyone for the great support on my giving the boot the BOOT! I have to be very careful still but looking forward to tomorrow's swim!

Hey everybody... just excited to report in that I don't have to wear the boot on my foot anymore... and I am allowed to "gently" walk and go swimming! Whew! I can't wait to get on the fitness train!

No loss and no gain... just the same. Truthfully, I am glad it didn't go up. I didn't make the smartest choices this week. I am now on 3 day of my no-wine streak. It will be hard this weekend because tomorrow we have a murder mystery party with my Wine-Circle-Of-Friends. And a Sunday Burlesque Brunch for V-day. My daughter…

Wednesday report -- I can feel myself start to slip into bad habits. After Thanksgiving, I really wrangled myself in and created some good habits. One being not drinking any alcohol. I made it through all of December without one drop... then New Years came and I had a glass. Now I am back to my social drinking but I…

@happygirlxxx So glad to hear your results!!! What wonderful news! I agree with @birgitkwood ... I am sure much of that is water. I know that you will now fully focus and continue to inspire us all with your workout reports and recipes! AFM -- Well... still recovering from the foot surgery and so so so so anxious to get…

Ugh... cannot wait until I can get this foot healed so I can get exercise. Food logging is consistent and really paying attention... just not losing and went up a tiny bit.
