@iLive2Walk that is interesting about the oatmeal and yogurt. I like the overnight oats, but sometimes I want them for a snack in the evening and of course you have to prep before and let it sit. So I never do. I dont like the prepackaged ones. Anyway I was back on track yesterday with cals, although it was a bit of an…

@trooworld yeah I've had some very bad falls, down a flight of stairs, a couple on my bike. Most of it is me being careless. I've started to do some balance exercises, can start with stand on one foot 30 secs then the other. Then a bosu ball, then flip the bosu ball over. With the bosu ball is hard. I hope you heal up ok.…

I've kind of fallen off the wagon with this. Too much takeout, and some other junk food type stuff the last week. So I have leftover takeout today (Indian food which was really good, so I have to have the leftovers lol). But trying to get back on track with tracking calories and sticking to my calorie goals. I think partly…

This is a pic I took the other day in my walk. The Trumpeter Swans have yellow tags bc they are being monitored for a conservation project. I think the population was at risk and they are trying to increase it in the area. There are Mute Swans here, but they are invasive and kind of bullies to the Trumpeters. Lots of…

@fabgeekmom we have the same weather lol. Dreary here too. I may try to get out for a bike ride this morning, that is one thing I can do. @trooworld aw sorry about that fall. I'm a klutz so I've had a few falls and yep always feel dumb when people are there. I've been trying really hard not to fall right now bc my hip is…

I kept to calorie goals yesterday. I did try chatgpt and am trying to work on an exercise plan, but it is pretty basic rehab type stuff. I went to physio last fall for a couple months, but it's expensive so I don't want to go back right away. Not sure what my plans are today!

@trooworld yay for real food. @fabgeekmom those meals sound great. I always run out of food ideas. I had pizza yesterday, so definitely over cals but it was a long week so I splurged. I have a long weekend now, it will be a quiet weekend, but I will do some yoga and a bit of walking. I have Monday off which is nice. I do…

Calories yesterday - goal- 1600 Actual 1608. Weighins Jan 1- 162.2 Jan 8 - 160.8 Jan 14-160.2 Jan 15- 160.6 Jan 21- 160.8 Jan 22- 162 Jan 28- 161.4 Jan 29- 160.8 January goals: ** Weigh in weekly on Wednesdays. **Track calories every day. **Stick to my calorie goals (1600, plus 100 on days I go in to the office- more…

@fabgeekmom you always sound like you have good meals! @theslightedgeforever yeah I went ahead and requested one of the Scythe books from the library. Will have it in a few days. That's interesting you tried ChatGPT for weight loss, fitness, etc. I really dont like the way they are forcing it, like embedded in everything.…

Well after one month of tracking I went from 162.2 to 160.8. So that is ok. I didn't reach my goal but I feel like I'm slowly getting better habits. I hope lol. Goal- 1600 Actual 1727. Weighins Jan 1- 162.2 Jan 8 - 160.8 Jan 14-160.2 Jan 15- 160.6 Jan 21- 160.8 Jan 22- 162 Jan 28- 161.4 Jan 29- 160.8 January goals: **…

@trooworld I hope you enjoy your meal! @fabgeekmom glad you got out for a walk. I try to go every day. Yesterday I saw a beaver munching on some branches. (I live on the shore of a big lake). See beavers quite a lot, and mink. The mink are cute. Well after trying to track for one month, today was my last Jan weigh in. I am…

I was doing really well at the beginning of the month, but not as great the last couple weeks. I'm trying not to be too disappointed, bc I've still been more consistent with tracking than I usually am. Cals yesterday- not sure. Weighins Jan 1- 162.2 Jan 8 - 160.8 Jan 14-160.2 Jan 15- 160.6 Jan 21- 160.8 Jan 22- 162 Jan 28-…

@trooworld good luck at the dentist. I hate going to the dentist. Also I hope you feel better from the cold/flu. @fabgeekmom burgers are my favourite, too. Ack only tracked partway through the day yesterday, but my weight is down a bit.

Did someone say they were reading the Scythe books? I need a new book to read.

Wednesday will be last official weigh in for the month and I'm afraid I'm right back where I started. I'm trying to think of small wins. I tried to track every day. Le sigh. Goal- 1600 Actual 1596. Weighins Jan 1- 162.2 Jan 8 - 160.8 Jan 14-160.2 Jan 15- 160.6 Jan 21- 160.8 Jan 22- 162 January goals: ** Weigh in weekly on…

I wish I liked swimming, but I've never been into it. I like to 'swim' if I'm on vacation and someone is bringing me drinks lol. @trooworld I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. @theslightedgeforever I can chew meat but I will say the older I get the less I want to eat meat. I'm not sure why. I force myself to, but it's a…

@trooworld I like that saying. For me, I've been trying to stay consistent even if I'm off my goal. Like normall if I was off calories I would just stop tracking. So I'm trying to still track at least, even if I'm off calories. Or today was windy, so I went biking just a shorter amount rather than skipping it. I was on…

Calories- back on track yesterday. I dont think I will meet my goal for the month, but baby steps I suppose. Goal- 1600 Actual 1516. Weighins Jan 1- 162.2 Jan 8 - 160.8 Jan 14-160.2 Jan 15- 160.6 Jan 21- 160.8 Jan 22- 162 January goals: ** Weigh in weekly on Wednesdays. **Track calories every day. **Stick to my calorie…

@trooworld that is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for! I will check it out. I'm not a very good shopper, I don't really know good stores and options. I did end up buying a pair of jeans- I only had one pair, so I got another. I worked from home since 2017 and have just started going in to the office, so I need…

Well folks, just here to say I am off track the last couple days. Hoping to get back to it today. Weighins Jan 1- 162.2 Jan 8 - 160.8 Jan 14-160.2 Jan 15- 160.6 Jan 21- 160.8 Jan 22- 162 :( January goals: ** Weigh in weekly on Wednesdays. **Track calories every day. **Stick to my calorie goals (1600, plus 100 on days I go…

@trooworld good for you trying water aerobics. But the people talking- one reason I don't like group classes is bc of stuff like that for sure. Maybe a different instructor/class would be better? @fabgeekmom I've looked at some chair exercises, it's always good to do what you can. Still cold here, but not as bad as the…

@fabgeekmom ya it's cold here today lol! I work in privacy- the job is similar to a consultant although I do have an employer, but I get sent out to different clients. I do privacy risk assessments if the client collects personal information- to make sure they are using it according to law, security, etc. Like schools…

Beautiful pictures @iLive2Walk ! I like walking too, but can't much right now bc of a hip injury. Ah well I missed a couple days tracking, but here today! Although today I am having dinner out and going to a basketball game, so I suppose calories will be up. I'm more excited about the dinner than the basketball game lol.…

That sounds like a cool book club @trooworld . And an interesting book, I'll make a note of it. @fabgeekmom I'm a coffee addict too, although the older I get I find it makes me a bit nauseous sometimes. But I'm determined not to give it up lol. Butter chicken is good. @fancyladyJeri good to see what works. I tried WW once…

Hey congrats on the weight loss @trooworld that sounds great. I'm glad you're seeing results. @fancyladyJeri ice cream is my weakness, Ben and Jerry's specifically. Although I do love Dairy Queen. I've been trying to get portions down, with some success sometimes lol. I hope the physio helps. Well I survived the arthrogram…

I met my calorie goal yesterday. Honestly things have been stressful, so I've been counting calories but some things have been more of an estimate. It's the best I can do right now. Like yesterday I added lentils to a soup so I estimated the lentils. Anyway: Goal- 1600 Actual 1581. Weighins Jan 1- 162.2 Jan 8 - 160.8 Jan…

Well I did ok on calories yesterday. I have today off bc I have my MRI. Sorry I keep talking about it lol. I've been waiting a couple months so I'm super glad to get it done. @fabgeekmom Interesting, I didn't know Ina Gartner had a memoir. A few years ago I was really into her recipes. @cbabie being accountable is good,…

Hey welcome @fancyladyJeri! @trooworld I got as far as getting the ingredients lol. I ended up getting takeout last night, bc I had more work to do than I thought lol. But just a burger, so hopefully it didn't set me back too much. I'll make the stew today. Actually it's a chicken pot pie recipe, but I don't want the crust…

Hey everyone, cold here but at least it's sunny. I like the sun. On my two walks today that I can do- one I have to go to the library to pick up a book and the other I have to get groceries. I have to figure what to make for dinner, I have no idea lol. Was thinking a chicken stew. I'm working today also, but it should be…

Hey all, today is my weekly weigh-in day, and I'm down a bit from last week, but not as much as yesterday. That's ok. Calories yesterday Goal- 1600 Actual 1572.
