Good morning, I'm really struggling with getting back on track. I got away from tracking my food and back to consuming a lot of beer. I am trying to refocus. Reboot. Looking for thay kick in the butt. This is me here, now, saying "I'm starting over" again.

8/1 Exercise? Yes, 20 minute walk outside at break. Calories? Yes with a little wiggle room Tracked? Yes, but not right away as usual. Need to get back on track

Good Morning!! I would LOVE to have the time to read over all the most recent posts...…..but I've been away from work for 10 days so I'd better get some work done lol. I have gone up 2.2 pounds since my last weigh in. A little disappointing, but not bummed. After the July we've had with three deaths and a busy family…

Love it!!! Good for you Lisa!

Great idea! Exercising and logging daily is the key

Amen to that!

I'm so glad you followed through with the tennis lessons!

Good Morning, Making my list now of meals for the weekend. Company is coming and I want to not be filled with junk food. Any good ideas of things to have on hand for snacks for guests that are healthy?

Good Morning, For me it is still morning, 9 am central time. You guys have been so chatty and I have felt so away that I couldn't find my starting point. I finally decided not to try to catch up but just jump back in. I'm not sure why I've been away. Maybe I needed it to let my brain rest by eliminating one of my…

7/10 6th Pass Day Exercise? Yes Calories? No Tracked? Yes I was on target until the very end of the evening. Your trigger question posed the other day has really helped me do some focusing. Which is really helpful right now. Feeling overwhelmed with too many things going on, leads to lack of planning, leads to easy…

7/9 5 Pass Days Exercise? yes Calories? Yes Tracked? yes Looking forward to reading the link about willpower. Sounds like a good read.

So, I have some exciting (well for me) news....twice yesterday and already once today, I caught myself thinking...."need to plan ahead, what are you going to eat". It has been so long since I've done that. Onward and downward everyone!! Thanks @Evamutt . I am also sorry about your friend. Losses are hard, each with their…

7/8 5 Pass Days I feel like I have been away for ever, but when I count up it's only been 5 pass days, I can live with that. I even had the thought, just bail out for July, I've already blown it enough. There's that negative thinking Jan was talking about above lol. Out with the old and in with the new...I'm here for the…

@RangerRickL I have dined at Savoy Grill!! My husband and I along with another couple treated ourselves prior to seeing Trans Siberian Orchestra one Christmas. It was wonderful!

Thanks for all the encouragement! You guys are fantastic!!! Sure boost me to wanting to get to the success stage :) Taco salad tonight for dinner....just doing a lil planning ahead ;) Welcome @Igetup10 and Nikki @nlmackey98 ! Glad you've popped in to join us. Any other lurkers...……..glad you're lurking around :) Feel free…

Well, 5 days in a row of not completing my food diary shows at the scale. Back up to 192.8. Yes, I've had a lot going on….two funerals, a nasty head cold, but I have GOT TO learn to still make good decisions. Knowing that I come in here and check in really helps to keep me accountable. It would have been real easy to not…

7/4 2nd Pass Day Exercise? Not really. Wadded around in the lake, but still not feeling well so I just chilled. Calories? Probably, didn't eat a whole lot. Tracked? No @RangerRick Your in my neck of the woods. Downtown KC has a lot of history and architect. We're you doing a speech? @BonnieHosk85 What was it about…

7/3 1st Pass Day Exercise? yes, very nice bike ride Calories? No Tracked? No, quit tracking when I knew I was going over. I don't normally do that, but I did this time.

@everydaywechoose Love the happy place you are in. Enjoy. Happy for you!

7/2 0 Pass Days! Exercise? Yes Calories? Yes, pretty much under, not feeling well (minor head/summer cold), meal prep, eating...just wasn't in to it. Opted for crackers and cheese. Tracked? yes @ConfidentRaven Walking the dogs is not boring :) At least my dogs don't think so :) It's a great reason to help us get out there…

@BuddysSurrogateGranpa1 Oh my gosh that is so funny!! I am cheering for you to catch that squirrel!!

Good Morning, I have accomplished 3 AF days in a row. I am 95% sure today will be my first 4th day in a row in over 12/15 years. Happy happy joy joy right..... Yes, but I can't give myself credit for it. I have been suffering with a mild cold since Sunday for sure, possibly Saturday. Friday I had my share of drinks at the…

Thanks everyone for the support with hubby and the head cold. I got two sets of bike rides in of 15 minutes each yesterday, during my breaks at work. I love riding outside. By the end of the day I thought an outside ride would be helpful and it was! Still feeling a heavy head and a slight scratchy throat. If it stays mild…

@fitnesscat2014 I will try to add you tomorrow from my computer at work. I can't do it with my phone.

@MissMay and @pennyks88 I'd never heard of kumbocha…...so I googled it (of course)….sounds good. I am a tea drinker so I bet I'd like it. So, I noticed I stated last night Day 1 AF, actually yesterday was my second day in a row. Sunday was my new day 1. Today will be day 3.

@fitnesscat2014 Yep, here we go again...……..let's do this for the last time!! Yesterday, I stayed within my calorie range although hubby walked into the living room about 8:30 handing me an opened ice cream sandwich he bought me ………..ugghhh………...I did a silent gulp, I was in the middle of tracking my food and not sure I…

Great to start the month with so many newcomers and returning folks!! Day 1 AF Feels good! So many comments I'd like to reply to, but time for bed. Have a great Day 2 tomorrow everyone!

7/1 Exercise? Yes 2 sets of stationary bike for 15 minutes. Skipped water aerobics due to catching a head cold with a nasty sore throat. Calories? Yes, with exercise. I was affraid I'd go over on my first day when my husband "being nice" handed me an ice cream sandwich after dinner. Tracked? Yep Congratulations to all…

@dawnbgethealthy You did it!! Way to stay focused!! Congrats...….see ya all on the July thread. Looking forward to more success. Ended June on a AF day...…..looking forward to staying that way for a long time......one day at a time....

Good Morning! The summer heat has finally found us. I have been stating that this is the summer that wasn't due to all the flooding, etc. The heat this weekend finally had it feeling like summer. @KCJen that would also be my healthy goal weight. I also get the regular emails from SparkPeople and do like their articles. I…
