3miles this morning.

Got completely hooked on Homeland and Bosch. Read all the Bosch books and the series really does them justice.

Interesting, Kim, that we’ve taken the same path (no pun intended). I adopted a Great Pyrenees, and started walking her. As she got healthier (had heart Worm), we started going longer and longer. Typical is 2.5-3 miles daily. That’s about all we can handle in the Houston heat. Some days she is pushing me to go, other days…

Overall, home. But the tough part for me is there are snacks and other foods kept on hand for the girls that occasionally call me. I’ve taken to keeping healthier snacks around for me, but the temptation still gets me. As far as eating out, I routinely have a problem with portion control, or ordering something I know I…

I’ve always been on line only. Maybe not fair to say since I never attended a meeting, but the “rah, rah” style of motivation would not work for me. At my best, weight loss was a job. If I did my job properly, I got rewarded in the form of less pounds. If not, I gained weight. That was it for me; pure and simple.

Should we look for the back and forth between you and King Steve now?

Here. Headed out for our walk.

I’m with Bill. Still not coming naturally to me, but overall my will power to resist has been pretty solid.

2.4 miles this morning. Would have gone further but dogs and I were roasted. And I can’t carry an 80 pound Pyrenees.

Down 1.4. Can’t remember who threw down the gauntlet with the tracking challenge but I’ve been nailing it ever since. Thanks!!

Here too.

Short term answer colonoscopy. Long term answer track, track, track.

Crock pot is a staple for me. Had an instapot about a month and still getting used to it but so far so good. Next up might be an air fryer.

Three miles this morning. 7.9 for the week so far.

Here.

Breakfast is minimal for me and lunch is very consistent for me now that I am home every day. Typically a sandwich and a 100-150 calorie snack like Cheez-it’s. I cook dinner and draw from well over 30 cookbooks so a lot of variety there.

I try to get back to basics. Lower cal recipes. Lay off the Mexican food. More lean protein. Watch portion sizes. Move away from cheese, rich sauces, etc. If I can successfully manage a couple of these I tend to right the ship fairly quickly.

I’ve been keeping track of weight daily on this app since late June. Every day as you enter it you get a short “keep it up” message. It projects your weight out 5 weeks if you continue as you have been. This puts me back into the 230’s for the first time in way to long. My rational mind would argue that weight loss is not…

Great week for me. Walked every day, stayed focused and kept calories below goal every day resulting in a loss of 2.2 pounds b
