JFT 9/17 1) I still need to go to bed at a decent time. It will be hard because I have church group tonight and we tend to socialize after it is officially over. Which is not a bad thing since I live alone and need all the socializing I can get, but it is not good for my rest. The other thing that will make it hard is I am…

JFT 9/16 Two Things: 1) To turn my light off by 9:45 tonight. The last 4 or 5 nights I have been very stupid and haven't gone to bed at the right time. The consequence is that last night I laid awake for hours and could get to sleep until past 1 or maybe even later so I only got a little sleep. I am not looking forward to…

NSV #1 - I am still here. I did not make wise choices this past week, but I kept logging. NSV #2 - Today I went on a long bike ride (26 miles) with my sister and BIL since we were all off for the holiday. I got home and immediately ordered a pizza... And ate the whole thing in the course of the afternoon 🤦 and a slice of…

I went to four grocery stores over the last couple days - that's 4 opportunities to break my goal and buy a treat. But I said "no" at every place. Another time when I was losing weight it was this saying no to treats that became the catalyst to the weight really coming off. I have since gained and lost and gained 30-40…

My minigoal is to go the whole next week without eating any restaurant or storebought food. Not including food that is served at my niece's birthday party on Saturday.
-
My goal today is to not eat outside food - no restaurant or storebought food.
-
Well, I did not make my goal. I weigh about the same as I was the last time I posted. So, I am repeating the goal. As for the steps, I think there was only one day I didn't get 5,000. I am repeating that one as well. It will be harder this time around because I am going to be driving a car to work for the next couple…

I got out of the grocery store without buying the pack of cookies I have bought each of the last 3-4 (or more?) weeks! This was one of my goals for the week, so I am proud of myself.
-
You look great! I am about 205 right now and that is my goal - 160-165. What was the timeline for this change?
-
Starting the cycle again. I did really poorly last weekend - ate so much restaurant/store bought food. Granted, it was my birthday, but I could have made better choices. My gift from my sister was to go to a ropes course, so I want to work on my arm strength and get in better shape for that. JFT 2/22 1. Only 2 cups of…

At the beginning of the year I had gotten down to 201 and I thought things were heading in the right direction. But the next time I got to use a scale (I don't own one so I only weigh when I go to my parent's), I had gained 6. I know that I had just gotten off a week of making a lot of bad food choices so I know that that…

Does anyone else just get angst-y to move faster sometimes? I have been walking a lot and I have been feeling the itch to run - which is weird because that is soo not my thang. And every time I hear the music in the commercial for the Assassin's Creed Mirage game - it always seems like a good running song. So two nights…

A few this week: •I did a strength workout •I did some stretching one day - I really need to do this more regularly because my back and neck have been sore recently •my resting heart rate was at 65 or less for a whole week - my next goal is to be at 63 or less for an entire week •I got at least 5,000 steps everyday I did…

I got at least 5,000 steps every day this week and also I tracked my eating everyday.
-
Okay, so I tracked my eating each day, I biked 3 times, and I did 3 footlockers. And for a bonus, I hit at least 5,000 steps everyday! This week's goals are similar: 1. Track my eating 2. Bike 3 times 3. No outside food 4. Strength workout 2x
-
I have a non scale/scale victory. Sometimes after a week or more of watching what I eat and exercising how I should, the scale doesn't change and other things - like measurements and heart rate - don't usually change in just that time either, so I get discouraged and fall off the bandwagon. But when I weighed in this…

My mini goals for this week: •to track my eating every day •to not eat "outside" food - only food that I have prepared (I just finished 8 days of eating from restaurants for at least one meal every day) •to bike for 20 min 3 times •to do a 10 minute (min) strength workout everyday And on a non-fitness note, to pack up 4…

I made good choices today: I had both fruit and veggies with every meal, I went on a bike ride, I went on 2 10 minute walks with the dog, and I am planning to do a stretching routine after I post this. I went over on calories but overall it was a good day so I am not going to sweat it. And on a totally non related note, I…
