In an ironic twist those mini Hershey bars are exactly the candy I’m trying to stay away from. About 3 months ago DW was doing some redecorating and decided a filled candy dish would look good in the living room. Mini Hersheys were a regular feature. 3 weeks ago she went to visit DD for a week. The candy relocated to the…

3 days without a cookie or piece of candy. Reworked breakfast to cut 10%. 20 minutes to snack time. Pacing the floor.

Pickleball Walking Weight training Pickleball is my #1 fav but it’s a 2-3 times per week thing. Some people play every day, some older than I am, I don’t know how they do it. Advantage to walking is I can do it every day.

About 2004, that’s before WW for me, I injured my left shoulder training with weights. Did PT & it got better. Injured it again a few years later trying to get to 30 pushups. More PT. Since I started playing Pickleball 10 yrs ago I’m in PT about half the time. I was even on the local news once with my physical therapist…

There’s diet as in what you eat. Then there’s diet as in restrictions. At WW we played various word games to avoid admitting WW was about restrictions. It’s a lifestyle was the biggest. Seemed like we had to do that to prevent reflexive rebellion against the program. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I went back to…

it’s hot in south FL. I’ve given up the park in favor of Crunch gym a couple of times. It’s been a relief. I was dreading walk time a couple of days. Good to have a reasonable alternative.

Health & mobility. Lots of old folks here in south FL. The gym I go to twice per week is really for physical therapy. Lot of people fighting to keep moving on their own. Then there’s the diner. They sometimes they need a section to park the walkers. It’s easy to take a lot for granted. It’s coming back to me now. At 285…

I’ve always figured the lines of the naturally thin ended when they starved to death in the famines.

This round started 12/24/1994. Started because I thought I was going to die and leave my kids without a dad. The reasons I keep at it change from time to time. But big picture, my life is better. Since 1994, I’ve lost 100 lbs. But for a long time I weighed about 220. I was down about 65 lbs then. But I was in my 40s,…

Snacking. Sweets. Together & separately. And this thought, I’ve always approached this as snacking, including some treats, under control. As much as I can get without going over the line. Maybe it’s time to ditch that and try the Just say no approach.
-
Schedule. Just like a baby. Full circle I guess.
-
Good morning. Been awake since about 3:45. Had 3 good nights in a row. Probably a comfort food day. Sigh.
-
I was hoping for chicken fajitas at the diner but no go. To bad. They only show up now and again as a special but they sure are good.
-
While working we started cooking 1 time per week on weekends. Still doing it. I’m a creature of habit.
-
I made Lifetime and kept going to that meeting for nearly 10 yrs. Never exceeded the GW +2 lbs limit. Only quit the meeting when we moved to FL. 1st thing I noticed about WW meetings was the revolving door. I vowed not to get in it. Just before I left they seemed to move away from the idea they were a weight loss program.…

At 285 lbs I would have grabbed these in a flash. Fortunately not going to have to find out what the effects of long term use might be.
-
I’m well into lifestyle status. The idea of “quitting” if quitting is defined as eating until stuffed nearly once per day doesn’t enter my mind. But as I’ve said many times I am still subject to point creep which leads to scale creep which eventually leads to a need to visit losing mode. I find it takes more energy to get…
-
Well, both. I’m mostly a creature of habit, but there is still the point creep thing. If I keep ordering those French fries with that sandwich pretty soon that becomes a habit. Gotta remember how I got here.

My tracking has always been bare bones. Just a crude list with some numbers. When counting WW points I always kept track of how many WPA I had left. Now I try to pay attention to protein but I’ve never really tracked it. Some random - I never made a set menu or pre-track but I did do a weekly storyboard for a while. Some…

I’m in the feed a cold, feed a fever camp. If I lose my appetite it means I’m really sick. I had that delta covid. My home remedy was cough syrup and cookies. Typical for me.
-
Workout with my personal trainer, walk in the park.
-
Iced tea w/ lemon, coffee, water. I’m off the Diet Coke for now but this isn’t the first time.
-
Not currently tracking but I’ve crunched the calorie numbers for everything I eat regularly. I’ve also calculated the protein.
-
Not an issue and have somehow dodged that bullet so far. I’ve got still fat around my middle, just seems like how my body is, and a family history and a raging sweet tooth. Sometimes we’re just lucky. Looking back, I did start exercising regularly years before I made the healthy weight BMI. That may have helped.
-
Keep going even when it isn’t going well. I had an issue early when I blew up my points making a mistake in a restaurant. When I realized the scope of my misstep my first reaction was - start over tomorrow. But then I thought “where in WW does it say to quit tracking when you’re over your number?” This was really the start…
-
Yes. 1 of my intentions is to do 150lbs on the chest press at Crunch Gym by 5/1, my birthday. I don’t really know when I started this. At first I was just trying to get stronger. Not really sure of the exact date I set the goals but at some point it seemed doable if I stay focused and don’t hurt myself. But about a year…

We’ve got a rule- my idea- no medical discussions during meals. The diner near where we lived 25 yrs ago was a few blocks from the clinic. If I was having a late breakfast the early clinic patients would be coming in after seeing the Doc. I’d be reading the paper but I couldn’t help but hear. It got to be one of those “If…
