TexanMom8152 Weigh Day Tuesday PW 201.5 CW 200.6

We are at our lake house in west Texas this week to move Jason into his apartment in Lubbock for the fall semester. Last night thunder storms rolled through and we took some pictures of the lighting in the distance. The left over clouds made for a beautiful sunrise today.

Hello all, I'm Julie, 55, married with one son. I currently live in Keller, TX (a little north of Fort Worth). I've struggled with my weight all of my adult life and am currently at my lowest weight since I gave birth to my son. Last time we were in Lubbock, we put down a deposit to hold a lot. On our upcoming trip, we…

TexanMom8152 Weigh Day Tuesday PW 205 CW 204.4 Sorry about the late post, we went to our lake house and I forgot the charger for the laptop. Kinda nice being disconnected for a week. A couple of quick pictures and then I'm off to get the shopping done. Hope to be back to read up and check in.

I've been coasting lately. Not really focused on what I need to do weight loss wise, but also not completely off the rails. Time to rein it back in and get back to basics. I recommitted to measuring and tracking every bite (at least for a few weeks) and even though it's only been a day, I can already see the serving…

I'm Julie. I'm 55, live in Keller, TX (a little bit north of Fort Worth), married with one son who is a freshman at Texas Tech. We have a lake house at White River lake about 60 miles from Lubbock. I've struggled with my weight all my life but I've been working with my doctor and am on a plan that has me making progress.…

As part of my morning bible study/journaling I have been working through 100 Days to Freedom from Overeating. Today was Day 37 about community. From the book A vital part of finding freedom with food is being able to find a group of people who are dedicated to the same goals you are. Just wanted to say a quick thank you…

TexanMom8152 Weigh Day Tuesday PW 207.8 CW 208.4 Just a quick check-in. We took down a wax myrtle yesterday. Lots of hours cutting, loping, bundling limbs, mulching, etc. I'm sore today. Weight wise, I seem to be on a plataue. Time to dust off the kitchen scales and start tracking more closely. @pupowl - going to be a…

When we got to our place in Spur Thursday night, we had a fawn at the top of our stairs between the car port and the house. We left it alone as much as possible considering where it was. We were a bit concerned when it was still there Friday morning, but by noon it was gone, so momma must have come back for it. With the…

We are headed to west Texas after work today. Our son has started his summer job, so it's just the two of us going. Craig had planned for us to do work on our land, but it may rain. I sincerly hope it rains, we really need it (and I don't want to shred the roads. :D ) @SavageMrsMoose - Hope the surgery works out well for…

Went into the office yesterday. First time since mid-February, what an ego boost having people comment on my new shape. Craig and I will be taking off to the lake on Thursday. It will just be the two of us as my son has to work. We are planning on shredding the roads at the ranch and maybe doing some dirt work, but it…

It's Texas Tech centennial year. Last night there was an event/concert in downtown Dallas. We had a great time. @Sbus12 - Congrats on your loss this week. Sometimes it helps to mix things up. @KHill875 - hope your knee gets to feeling better soon. @Itadakimasu7 - Hope your stress levels are better.

Craig and I went for a walk yesterday afternoon. The trail we hit yesterday is part of Dr. Pillow park which is a long skinny green belt along a small creek. My son surprised us by wanting to go along. (His ankle is continue to improve daily, but he still has a bit of a limp.) Turns out, he wanted to scope out fishing…

All the talk about step counters has me considering getting one again. I can't do the wearable smart watches, I have delicate skin and don't seem to tolerate them well. I had one that I would slip in my pocket, but haven't replaced it after I washed it about a year ago. @Sbus12 - way to go getting your steps in to improve…

TexanMom8152 Weigh Day Tuesday PW 210.5 CW 209 I passed a milestone - 45 lbs lost. I also had a NSV, I saw my doctor yesterday and we are dropping the dosage on one of my blood pressure meds.

Happy Mother's day to all the moms. We are back in Keller and ready for the next week to begin. Plan to spend the day, with low key activities. Congrats @izzyred9400, @Zaxa2021, and @kcpond!! @Itadakimasu7 - Good luck on your 10k.

Jason was able to put weight on his ankle yesterday and actually walked a bit without the crutches. We pulled the little boat back out of the water and stored it. Craig was the only one who went out on the boat this trip, but I think it will work great for the futre until the lake comes back up. It's still turkey season,…

We moved Jason out of dorm yesterday. We plan to continue to work from here for the rest of the week and make the drive back home on Saturday. He spent last night hopping around the house on his good leg not using his crutches. I got a big eye roll when I commented that he should at least use one crutch since he still…

We made the trip to west texas with our little boat. We were able to launch it, pushing it in from the shore. Our dock is out of the water, so no tying it up there. We went to our land again today to water the trees we planted. It is so dry down here, we really need the rain. And when we left, the truck said it was 104. We…
