I got a walk in today! 4 miles! Short for what I was doing, but its January and I've been out of practice, so I've got to build myself back up again when I can get it.

comradeship exactly. Inspiration. Support. And most importantly? people who will put up with my whiny moments, won't judge or give knee-jerk platitudes, but sympathize, encourage, support, and give thoughtful advice. Thanks, guys!

yup; I definitely need to get back on track and back in control. As I feared, I've done some regaining. 10-12 lbs of it. but that's not horrible if I can get back under control. The winter weather has kept me from being able to do the one exercise I was able to get myself to do and that was outdoor walking, and I can't get…

Merry Christmas to you all! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Christmas hand out cookies are done, and I'm down to dipping peanut butter balls and making 3 cakes. I then have to go set up my yard nativity - again! - knocked down once again by wind. I can't figure out why the darn thing won't stay standing this year! I also need to bring pellets to the back porch because Old Man…

Definitely no sleeping together - I'm old fashioned and conservative in that arena and we both agree that is something we will reserve for marriage. But I do have tickets all lined up to go visit in February, though I have a hotel room reserved (mitigate temptation). that will be the first time we'll be able to see each…

@amart4224 That's good to hear. The biggest issue he and I see right now is the distance and how to solve that. One of us is going to have to take a risk and move, and I hate that, especially as the circumstances make it so that its easier for him to do so than me. I hate though for him to do that, get down here, and then…

I'm slipping on the calorie counting myself and having a hard time getting the logging in. I know I should care, but there is so much other stuff going on in my life that the willpower needed to stick to my calorie deficit has been taken up elsewhere and there's not enough left at the end of the day to reign in the snack…

@amart4224 Thats fantastic news for you! I'm so glad you've gotten this opportunity, and you have my best wishes that it succeeds! And that would make a wonderful Christmas present for you :)
-
@conniewilkins56 you are looking fabulous! :) @lauriekallis great job! You are looking terrific too! :grin:
-
@conniewilkins56 Ah, I'm sorry :( That was extremely frustrating! I'd be furious too! Hopefully tomorrow will be better for you!
-
@conniewilkins56 No, no scale there. Besides, I don't want to have to figure out what to subtract for clothing lol I'm not doing all that great in sticking to it lately, too many temptations of hte evening inspiring my creative side when it comes to snacking. But it seems to be coming out in the wash, at least - I must be…

I made 4 bean salad last night, though I need to put it in MFP to figure out the calories. It will make a good dinner, I think, along with maybe some beef I have in the freezer, or BBQ pork.
-
I can't leave my scale out - the floor isn't big enough square footage, and I've found I can't quite get it exact - though that would beg questions from guests if they see a magic marker square outlined in front of the sink lol
-
@lauriekallis the plywood idea is a good one - I'll see if that works! Thank you! :)

the shopping and wearing her out must have felt fantastic, Connie! Congratulations! :grin:
-
my being honest is that for the last several days, I've been slipping badly on logging, especially by evening. It's not showing on the scale yet, but I know I need to rein this in! yesterday was the worst by far, so today, I'm trying to make myself stick to calorie budget. On the one hand, going over isn't that bad since I…

I have my presents bought and wrapped except for 3 that need completed by hand before being wrapped. I need to make my plum pudding today or tomorrow so it will be good and tasty by Christmas. Mailing Christmas cookies will be done this early next week so I can get them in the mail by the 18th, then the next week I will…

Green Giant boxed vegetables and either canned or pouched tuna or chicken make a great, filling, quick lunch for me. Or frozen veggies period for that matter - lots of vegetables, good source of protein, and low calorie!

unfortunately, my mom is in charge of Christmas dinner. So there will be stuffing, cranberry salad, broccoli casserole, sweet potato casserole. She says she's cutting down on desserts - making a smaller fruit salad so there won't be a large bowl of left overs, and she is making an angel food cake but I've talked her into…
-
ah :( don't feel bad and guilty - we all have been there. I know I've been there and have been catching myself doing the same too much lately. But the good news is that its was only 9 lbs in 2 months, and you've caught it now. You're taking steps to mitigate the slide, so you are on the right track!
-
I didn't count yesterday at all. The meal was sensible but I still overate I know. But its one day, and I'm working hard to remain on track today. I also stayed off the scale this morning, and maybe even tomorrow morning too.......
-
Happy thanksgiving to you all from me too! I’m not counting today either and am splurging a little on breakfast by stopping at Hardee’s but I’m still being mindful by getting just an egg biscuit and a small hash rounds. I may not have lunch at all except for a banana and that’s because I’ve had Charlie horses lately which…

I'm having to leave my phone in the kitchen this morning because I really, really need to get some work done and the last 2 days I admit I have been completely and hopelessly distracted and unproductive at work. Its a good thing its a holiday week and my deadlines are the middle of December so I have plenty of time! So you…
-
@conniewilkins56 That is a huge win, Connie! You are doing so well - not only with the weight loss, but in the increased activity and vitality :)
-
@emmyjaykay perhaps :) Biggest downside is I'm in WV and he's in WI
-
@gewel321 that is wonderful news! fantastic! And such a relief, I'm sure!
