A recumbent exercise bike might also feel good.

1200 is on the low end. If you put in to lose 2 pounds a week, this often happens. Make sure you put your stats in correctly. Height, weight & age. If you are still truly hungry maybe lower your loss goal to 1 pound per month and see how you feel. Or just raise your calories to 1300 and see how that feels. It's also…

Been thinking a lot about my weight loss journey. So went back and looked at pictures through the years. What I discovered is that I was thin much longer than I was big, yet there was never a point in my life that I was comfortable with my body. I was told by my grandmother when I was about 7 or 8 (some where around the…

Thanks for the Kohls cash reminder! I have $80 to spend...

Hit and miss yesterday. Forgot that I needed to go to my mom's after work and to the store. Did end up going to trivia, but I had a salad instead of parmesan truffle fries, and only drank 2 beers. I guess I'll need to exercise today to "pay" for that since I didn't have time yesterday. I need a gym day, but I'm so…

Didn't get to bed as early as I'd planned, but I did take a long nap in the early evening so that worked out fine. Pooch slept in until 6:30am. It was actually a good time for me to get up. I laid down with him for about 15 minutes, then he got rambunctious and I had to kennel him so that I could get ready for work. All in…

Happy New Year! Welcome to the new folks, welcome back to those who took a break, and to the faithful posters thank you for your sport over the years. I think I’m starting simple. No drinking unless I exercise at least 30 minutes that day. Probably means early morning which is tough for me or possibly after work. Or I just…

I too am glad you are starting a new thread for 2025. I need a fresh start, these last to years I have seen steady weight gain as well as diminished health. Need to let the past be the past and get my tush in gear with diet and exercise. I may actually start with a renewed commitment to fitness. When I'm exercising, I…

Hope y’all had an amazing Christmas!

Yesterday was a fun day. Work was a drag, but I was able to leave early and pick Tim up from a Christmas Party. He wasn't drunk, but had a few too many to drive. Then we went shopping at Kohl's for our secret Santa girl. Spent more than planned, but got her some really nice things. Went home wrapped gifts and then went out…

Delivered some more cookies last night before trivia. Neither person we planned to visit was home, but I got nice thank you notes from them. One gentleman said my pecan balls reminded him of the ones his late wife used to make, and one of my trivia folks said the fudge was just like her mom's. That is a huge honor for me.…

Well, yesterday kind of got away from me. Mom called and guilted me into getting her bird seed. Ordered online to skip the pre-Christmas crazy. Then delivered it and visited which took forever. Then when I finally leave and need to pick up the dog she calls again to say she needs toilet paper. I so didn't want to go to the…

I went to the grocery which was CRAZY. Didn't get the sugar cookies done, but made orange cookies and another batch of pecan balls. Need to get the sugar cookies tonight so we can deliver soon. Sugar cookies are my least favorite to make. They take forever. When the kids helped it was fun, but solo it's just tedious. Food…

Finally starting to feel a little more Christmas-y. Hubby made a list of 17 folks/families for our annual cookie/fudge distribution. Did some baking over the weekend. There are Chocolate Chip Cookies, reduced sugar CC Cookies, My Grandma's Russian Tea Balls, Great Grandma's Sugar cookies (dough is in the fridge), Mamaw's…

Depression compounds so many other things making them so…

Been a little down lately. Not sure why. Tim is also very distant. Usually only one of us is in a funk at a time, and we can pull the other up. I think both our parents are weighing on our minds. His mom is declining and has bouts of paranoia and delusions. My mom's mental capacity is just less and less. I'm getting closer…

It sounds like something metabolic is going on. Or you have too high a deficit. Id see a medical doctor to make sure your endocrine system, hormones and thyroid are in line. Good luck.

Work holiday luncheon was a huge success. Tons of food and lots of conversation. Deciding instead of going straight home after work that I would go get a mani/pedi. It was nice. Picked up dinner on the way home. Got home ate, spent some time with pups, then decorated the tree with hubby and watched Christmas movies. Pretty…

Well, hubby cooked and I watched the dogs for a bit, then I joined a friend for trivia. When I came home Tim and I finished watching the football game. Got up at 4:00 with the pup as usual, then put him back in the kennel. He cried again at 5:00 so I took him out, then again at 6:00. This time I laid down on the couch and…

Hope y'all had a nice holiday (US) or weekend. We had a great Thanksgiving and weekend. We ate, played games, ate some more, got a tree and visited with family. I worked Wednesday, and we were going to be tight on time Friday, so Tim, Sierra and Chase went to the tree farm. Chase had never cut a tree down before or been to…

Work was a drag yesterday. I went home early and took my afternoon calls from there. Went out to a lovely dinner at the local Cajun place, ordered Filet Oscar which is a steak tenderloin with lump crab in a brandy cream sauce over mashed potatoes. The steak was well cooked and crab topped mashed potatoes were the star of…

My cousin's son came out of surgery without a hitch. Long recovery road, but his heart is happier now. Super excited that I was able to get V a Christmas present that will make here scream with joy. She is a huge K-Pop fan and her favorite band is going to be in the states (east coast) next year. She called me last night…

Been keeping up with y'all, but not posting. Sorry about all the hand injuries, that must suck. Weight is back down below 200, yay! House is cleaned and ready for the kids to come home tomorrow. Turkeys are thawing and supplies are purchased. We are making turkey, stuffing, gravy, noodles and cranberry sauce. SIL is doing…

@HappyDonkey75 Sucks about your knee. Hope it gets better soon! @cschmitz110515 That is the coolest rainbow ever. The circumzenithal arc, also called the circumzenith arc (CZA), the upside-down rainbow, and the Bravais arc,[1] is an optical phenomenon similar in appearance to a rainbow, but belonging to the family of halos…

Today just sucked... Work was ok, but mom called and told me she had roaches. I told her I would get some over the counter bait and spray until I could get an exterminator there. So I called exterminator and did a Walmart curbside order to speed up things. Well the order was only 3 items and it was still delayed so I had…

Yesterday was good. I logged, I was in goal, I taught spin class and I didn't eat any snacks. Found out Merlin has Kennel Cough so our weekend plans are canceled. We were going to go to a college basketball rivalry game Friday night and then to a football game Saturday for our alma mater. Oh well, guess I'll do laundry and…

JFT Tuesday - Work by 7:30 :smiley: - Call vet - Meetings - More meetings - Log food - Home by 4:30 - Teach spin - Go to mom's - Home by 8:00 - Bed by 10:00

Actually taught spin for the first time in ages. Well I've been showing up, but I've not been riding as much as instructing. Saturday I rode with them. It was difficult but it felt good. I'm covering a class for a friend tomorrow. Need to get back into the gym regularly. Went to the doctor today and saw a number on the…

Halloween was fun. I dressed up as Strawberry Shortcake. Even used strawberry body spray to complete the effect. The neighborhood kids enjoyed that I dressed up, but they enjoyed the candy more. I did have one set of kids make a second pass by the house, which annoyed me. I still gave them candy, but not big candy as I…
