Ate out tonight at Chili's. I got the quesidillas but only ate 3 of the 8 and some of the cheese fries. I feel full and felt like I kept my portions down but the poor nutritional factors of fats and sodium and calories is depressing. Good thing that I don't eat out very often. kbranch - sounds like you were very conscious…

This was my slow Friday but I did get to the fitness center to get on the elliptical. I am amazed at those of you in the working force to see how busy your day is and the planning and commitment it takes to stay on track. Don't worry about the little setbacks. Just being aware of it and having your goal in sight always,…

Busy day today and I like that. Then I don't think about food and eating. Had tennis drills this morning followed by 3 games of bowling, and ending with 18 holes of golf. I am really liking this cooler weather. I am way under calories so I think I'll have a snack tonight. Tomorrow will be a slower day, maybe I'll go phone…

Well I went phone shopping and I am so confused. I have been a flip phone user since I got a cell phone and not tech savy at all. Needless to say my phone had no cost left anymore and I am looking at upgrading to a smartphone. After shopping around (no phone yet) I went to the fitness center and got on the treadmill, bike,…

Didn't check in last night. I stayed with one of my mother's sick friends last night and took her to the doctor this morning. Didn't have a computer and I have no phone right now since mine went through a washing machine cycle. I was under my calorie count yesterday because I was still eating soft food like scrambled eggs,…

Did my stretching this morning when I got up but that was it. Had a visit with the dentist and he said I had to take it easy. He extracted a tooth and it has to heal. Which also put me on soft foods. The campbell's soup I had tonight was way high in sodium. WOW! I'll have to try something else tomorrow. It will be another…

Dinner at the Club dance was really good and I think I did well with portions. Didn't feel hungry later so that along with breakfast was my only meal so therefore my calorie count was under. Yippey!! Planning meals ahead seems to work well so try to keep that up jorange and gigiqueen. I have to get some dental work done…

Heading out this afternoon to the Polish Club's dinner/dance. I know what the menu is so I tracked on the calorie counter what I was looking at today. Seems like a lot of sodium so I will have to watch portion size and drink more water. I am going to have to work calories off with lots of dancing. 1-2-3 polka and some line…

All who checked in had a great Saturday!!!! You can finish off the weekend just as strong. I had a good morning of tennis with a strong and crafty opponent (cupcake). That was all the workout I could handle today. Enjoyed a Beach Boy tribute band tonight at the new pool here in SCW. Calorie count was good today but I did…

OK I got myself over to the fitness center today and used the elliptical for 35 min. and then did 4 of the leg machines. It was fun! I am under on my calorie count today and not even hungry. The water really does fill you up. I will try to get by the rest of this evening without falling under the temptation to snack.…

jorange - glad to hear that you are not giving up because we all need you to stay with us. I have ups and downs too but I know with the support of this group I will get back on track. And actually your downs are probably not as bad as you think they are or as they used to be before we were making a conscious effort at…

Checking in today with achy legs but enjoyed some fun activities of tennis, bowling, and golf today. Also ate well today. Keeping busy sure helps with that. And I have definitely drank more than enough water today. Been low on my protein so thanks for the shrimp tip. Love celery sticks but actually have never had hummus. I…

Worked out at home and played tennis today. Felt good burning calories. Did ok on calories but not that great on healthy choices. I have to find a healthy snack that will satisfy me when I think I'm hungry. lschreiber - 7 pounds! that's awesome, I need to eat more salads too. intotennis - completing the P90X each day is…

mommaberar - you are really into doing it the right way and getting the heart and body strong the right way. Slow and steady is the right road to take. Stay on the course! Let's do it pushing forward!!!! Looks like kbranch is going to get her wish with some cooler (90's?) weather soon. Breakfast was good. Bring it on hump…

Sounds like everyone has really stayed on top of their nutrition and exercise today. I was still sleeping at 5:30 this morning kbranch. I am impressed and then you went to work all day and worked out after!!!!!! I think retirement has made me lazy but enjoying it. I was on the tennis court for a couple of hours followed by…

Mon. Day 15 Can't report any workout today BUT day's not over so I will try to get some exercise in at home before I hit the hay. I'll report in tomorrow if it got done. It's amazing how I can manage to eat more calories when I don't work out as compared when I do. That should tell me something. shawna, wow you go girl.…

Eating more slowly so you have the time to recognize when you're full and drinking more water help in cutting down portion size. So now I try to take a drink of water after each bite or if I grab a snack to drink 8 oz of water with it. It was poker Sunday today and of course there are snack foods and dessert served.…

daily 4, weekly 25 Played some tennis this morning and then watched the women's final at the US Open this afternoon. My footwork tomorrow morning on the court is going to be awesome!!!! Stayed under calorie goal today but my food choices were not the best. High on sodium again. Blah! Sounds like Irma is going to hit…

Looking forward to getting in a good workout tomorrow and burning lots of calories. Can't believe it's already Day 13 tomorrow. Let's all make it our lucky number with good days all around. Day 2, weekly 21

Ate lunch out today but instead of the bacon cheeseburger that was highly recommended I went with the chicken cranberry salad. I confess though that I did have a slice of the homemade pumpernickel bread. Low workout day today but my body needs a day of rest too. Hope everyone's day is going well and even if it's not as…

Played some fun tennis doubles this morning with formidable opponents. Burned calories and drank lots of fluids. First week of league bowling and my scores showed it. Well I was consistent at least, 157, 154, 155. Did well on breakfast and lunch. Supper was grilled chicken and mozzarella ravioli. Good but I think I had too…

Dang just lost everything I wrote in my post and have to start all over. kbranch - you are the beast on nutritious and healthy foods and they even sound tasty. Keep sending those food suggestions. I might try one or two!!! mommabeare - you are such an inspiration. Keep it up. Love your dog stories, gotta love those 4…

Calorie went was under today but not the greatest food choices. I have to work on more fruit and veggies. Water is usually good but I really like jperdomo's goal of drinking 1/2 your body weight in ounces (right?). Got in a doubles tennis match tonight for a workout. I have to get to the fitness center tomorrow morning.…

My nutrition and calorie intake is good today. Below my calorie goal by enough that I could treat myself to a little ice cream tonight. I do want to weigh in tomorrow morning though so might have to think twice about that treat. Played a couple of hours of some awesome tennis this morning and did my stretching and…

All I got in today was 45 minutes of exercises at home like sit-ups, crunches, leg work. Nutrition went well today even with going out for breakfast. Best part was my sodium intake was down which was what I needed to work on. First week has to be the hardest getting into routines of working out and eating properly so…
-
Yesterday was a bad workout day (as in NONE). Boooo! But calorie intake was alright except that when you don't exercise all calories go in and none go out is not a good scenario. Today I was in front of the tube watching US Open way too much but finally dragged my butt to the fitness center and got on the treadmill. Why…
-
Enjoyed playing tennis today morning and evening but I need to work on getting in some other types of exercise. Did good today on calorie intake although I'm not sure that I'm recording the right amounts in my log. I am not very good at measuring like 1 cup vs 1 1/2 cups.
-
Fun getting to know you all through your posts and sharing some of the same daily struggles and successes. Not as active today running around for car service and doctor appts. Realizing that some days will be better than others. Just having to record food intake every day is a great motivator for me not to snack. We are…
