A pretty uneventful day yesterday. Lots of rain. Got out early to get Abby's walk in. Did all 10,000 steps (about 4 miles) in one walk. Really encouraging how much easier it was than the first time I did that a couple of weeks ago. @nsk1951 congrats on starting your mission to a healthier you! Keep coming back... sharing a…

Before I forget... recipe - https://www.eatyourselfskinny.com/spaghetti-squash-pizza-casserole/#wprm-recipe-container-16652. As usual, I can't totally follow directions. I used a jar of pizza sauce vs marinara. Also, did not use the entire squash, only about half. But pretty obvious when adding the squash to the sauce when…

Good day yesterday ... last of our sunny days. Rain most of the day today. Need to get out early if Abby is going too have her walk. Fixefmd this week's new recipe in my one new recipe a week challenge to myself - spaghetti squash pizza casserole. This one was a winner (after two flops). Extra bonus - three servings in the…

I weigh on Mondays. Scale did not budge an ounce this week. A bit disappointing, but not surprising considering the nearly 10 pound (mostly water) drop the first two weeks. The best thing is that I feel great and I am eating in a very healthy, sustainable way. Now ... I just need to trust the process and just keep going.…

Great day yesterday. Everything on target. Two nice walks with dog (a bit nippy). Dinner out at a Thai restaurant I had not gone to before ... excellent! Topped the night off with a concert by Purdue's award-winning "Wind Ensemble " (a full concert band(. Purdue also has an award-winning Philharmonic. Fantastic musicians…

Apr. 20 A great day. Last night's dinner was very enjoyable. Not sure if it was the "permission" I gave myself in advance, or what, but I enjoyed every bite and sip but did not go beyond reasonable portions. Felt wonderful to enjoy dinner and not stress about anything! @jonni82014 "However..This type of thinking is so hard…

All good yesterday, although yesterday was an interesting experiment in 'non-dieting'. I had a luncheon meeting with a buffet. Pretty much all food that I would not normally choose if I were on 'a diet'. Ate everything in reasonable portions (except for the rolls because I don't like cheap white bread and the dessert…

So far I am three weeks in to giving up diet coke. Not necessarily committed to giving it up forever, but definitely would like it to be an occasional treat, not something I drink several tomes a day. All I have done is to NOT buy it for home plus I always keep a bottle of water close by. Good luck! Our bodies certainly…

First of all ... congrats on taking a really excellent step toward a healthier you! You have done a great job! Keep on doing your best, one day at a time. One day off plan is not a failure, it is just one day out of the rest of your life. The real issue is what will you do for the next day. I am not normally one who, out…

April 17 ... all good. Was just thinking how nice it is to be.able to walk comfortably outside. While we have had quite a bit of rain. It is so pretty out. All the yards are a gorgeous green with trees and flowers I'm bloom everywhere. Also, it iscgreat to have a walking partner who is ALWAYS up for a walk. @wewillbskinny…

6:51AM April 16. Food, steps and sleep all good. Yesterday, i cut theccord on tracking. Decided I could do it Still doing a bit in my head, but it is a step in the right direction. I have to say it makes me a bit nervous! Will continue to weigh weekly and will go back to tracking if this turns out to be a problem. I am…

Tuesday ... yesterday went well. Sleep, walk and good all good. As planned, I did not log food until end of the day. Was on target food wise. Fortunately (or sadly) I have spent so much of my life focusing on calories that I am a walking calorie counter. Tried another new recipe salmon yesterday (had to use the other half…

I am there with you. I have been successful with weight loss (often and impressively at times). Yet, here I am bavk at MFP once again. This time I am totally committed to stop this nearly lifetime worth if yoyo-ing and to the work to figure out how to do it. Only two things I have figured out for sure do far ... 1. It is a…

Good day yesterday. Sleep was a bit off target, but food and exercise good. Looks like we are finally going to the the sun today. Will be a good spirit lifter. @Awegg05 glad you got to spend some quiet time with your brother. Adding another person to your household with everything else you have going on is a real…

Day 11 - Sleep, food AND steps all good. With rain all day long, I did not think I would get steps in, but it finally stopped around 6:30. The dog and I were both happy to get out of the house. Only positive thing about an all-day rain was that I got a ton of things done that I have been procrastinating on for months. Have…
