@dwntwn5 Thanks for sharing the link on recipes for the spiralizer. I have been debating getting one, because I don't know what to make with it! Some of the recipes sounded yummy.

What kind of business are you in? I know what you mean about dressing in relaxing clothes when working from home. Most of my work is from home these days and I am actually glad when I have to dress up to go to meetings, etc. :wink:

Late getting on today, had so much housework to do today and laundry was calling my name! Wednesday's goals: 1. Stay in the green :smiley: beat my calorie and carb goals! 2. Record everything in my diary :smile: 3. Beat steps from yesterday :smiley: not only beat my steps from Tuesday, but also exceeded my new goal by over…

Tuesday's goals: 1. Drink 8 glasses of water :smile: 2. Meet my calorie goal :smile: 3. Keep carbs under 20 g :smile: 4. Record everything I eat and drink :smile: 5. Meet new step goal I decided to not focus on this, since I had too much going on 6. Finish and submit presentation :smile: 7. Do something fun! :neutral:…

@joan6630 Thanks for all the support. You're right, I just put too much pressure on myself and need to be realistic. It has been a difficult couple of days, but my last high profile task will be completed tomorrow. Then I think I will take a long walk and clear all the cobwebs from my brain! ;) Thanks also to…

Monday's goals: 1. Drink 8 glasses of water :| Only got in 6 2. Meet my calorie goal :) I guess it was fine, but I was too far under and got a nastygram from MFP... 3. Keep carbs under 20 g :smile: 4. Record everything I eat and drink :smile: 5. Meet new step goal :s :'( Not even close, too much work to do! 6. Practice and…

@GaleHawkins Hi, Thanks for the note of encouragement. It is nice to be able to connect with someone else that has AS. I find that it is hard to relate with someone who has never experienced what it is like to have this illness. I have incorporated regular exercise along with my diet. I know that it will be no fun in the…

I have some goals that I keep daily, just to make sure I don't lose sight of them. Then I include a couple others that will help be more productive or help me be a better person. They don't always have to be food and exercise related.

Sunday's goals: 1. Drink 8 glasses of water :) 9 2. Meet my calorie goal :smile: 3. Keep carbs under 20g :smile: 4. Record everything I eat and drink :# forgot to log all my water. Boo! 5.

@OConnell5483 Just for you! A photo from my hike this morning of the castle ruins in Kallmuenz.

Hi, I'm Diana. I currently live in Germany, but am originally from Arizona. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and was really excited when I found this thread. I have always suffered from inflammation in my back and major joints. I have been on all kinds of medications for my illness, but some of them have some pretty scary…

I thought I was really going to suffer on this diet. I am originally from Arizona and was wondering how I could survive without my typical eggs, chorizo, and potatoes breakfast. My husband usually cooks this up on Saturday mornings. Well, I told him just a small portion of chorizo with scrambled eggs for me. It ended up…

Friday's goals: 1. Drink 8 glasses of water :smile: 9 2. Meet my calorie goal :smile: Under again! 3. Keep carbs under 20g :smiley: 15g 4. Record everything I eat and drink :smile: 5.

Kudos to you for resisting the urge. I have the same issue with bread! Ugh! At least, I'm being strong for now. I am way below my step goal for today so heading out for a walk. Have a great day!

@shenna333 Hang in there! Hope you are having a better day today. Relax and remember, at least it's Friday! :wink:

I was in Barcelona last year for work and tried ceviche at a restaurant there. I am really squeamish about sushi, so I was quite impressed with myself for giving this a try. It was fish-based and really quite good!

Thursday's goals: 1. Drink 8 glasses of water :smile: 9 felt like I was going to float away 2. Meet my calorie goal :smile: I was under again, whoop whoop! 3. Meet my step goal :smile: 4. Record everything I eat and drink :smile: 5. Do one other physical activity today :smile: 6. Do some sewing for stress relief :neutral:…

Hi, I am new to MFP. I just started (for the umpteenth time) my weight loss journey. I am really tired of my yo-yo dieting and plan to really make this work. My weight has been trending upward for too many years! I am 53 and have struggled with getting regular exercise because of health reasons. Now, I am telling myself I…

Hi, I just started using MFP yesterday. I am 53 and am restarting my weight loss journey. I am hoping to find friends to keep me motivated. It always seems like a struggle to get my exercise into my routine, so I am just taking it one day at a time. I did meet my calorie and exercise goals yesterday, so feeling pretty good…

Hi there. Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you are doing much better. I also enjoy cooking and should walk more than I do... Feel free to add me as a friend if you're interested.

@Bex953172 Thanks for the support! Yes, it sounds like this is going to be an awesome group! :smile: If you just started carb counting, it does get easier as time goes on. I am just re-starting my low carb diet, so I am keeping my carbs below 20g/day. You will find over time that a high protein, low carb diet actually will…

I had actually written a much longer post, but it looks like it didn't show up. So, here's my story.... I have been struggling with weight loss for a long time. I usually blame this on my health, which can make it difficult to get as much exercise as I would like. I am living in Germany and sometimes I feel like they don't…

Hi Mistyjazz, It sounds like we have similar goals. I am 53 and have been struggling to find the right motivation to keep me on track. I recently moved to Germany and find the diet here to be very high in carbs. I am a carboholic! I no sooner look at a carb and it is instantly plastered on my thighs! Today is my first day…

This is my first day using MFP and I really like the idea of being accountable to someone!
