I bought a lot of healthy food this week. I think I’m eating too much of it though. It’s hard to plan my meals this week because my work schedule keeps changing at the last minute. I’m having a hard time staying organized with food. Tonight my goal is to plan what I’ll eat tomorrow. I’m working New Year’s eve which is…

Today all I have felt like doing is sleeping. To everyone struggling after Christmas please be kind to yourselves. Plan for your next step so you won’t get overwhelmed. Today I am going food shopping. I am going to be safe both in what I buy, and by wearing a mask especially after the holidays. I always wear a mask anyway.…

How is everyone doing. I posted back in May and now I want to lose 35 lbs. I made a good start. I’m looking for more friends for support. Please add me.

Just for today I will accept my progress as very significant. I mattered enough to myself to lose over 10 lbs. and I’m really just starting on this beautiful journey. I’ve been at it my whole life and it still is new and interesting and exciting. Like I’m just beginning every day. I’m looking forward to my continued…

@NovusDies I can understand the excitement of this journey. The more I am doing this the more I am learning about myself. I am finding my own strengths and accomplishments of how to lose weight. I can actually go through a week of not being so focused on my calorie intake and exercise and even gain a little. But I can see…

Hi. I’m looking for good vibes and hard work too. My exercise is walking, but I would do other workouts if I went to the gym. I don’t feel ok going with the pandemic. I just want to be consistent doing something. I walk as often as I can during the week.

I need to accept my process. I need to love that I am enough. I need to positively encourage myself. I need to allow myself to feel calm.

My purpose is to be a blessing to those I love. I want to be the best version of myself. I’m still figuring out my purpose. I know I have one. Maybe several.

Very inspirational journey. Thinking I am going to be doing this for years is boring. I am hoping it will be successful. Sometimes it is just not easy no matter how much I try to make it so. I’m just glad to have a variety of foods to choose from as I’m losing weight. I’ve lost almost 10 lbs. so far this time. I’ve gotten…

Sometimes I eat in the middle of the night. Last night was one of those nights. I didn’t know I would do that once in a while. I counted those calories in today’s total. It’s hard.

I eat them back. I still lose weight and I can enjoy the extra calories while staying within my calorie goal.

What worked for me today is upping my walking. I upped my time, my steps, my distance, and calories burned. Very proud of myself!

I have leftovers from Thanksgiving that I didn’t eat yesterday. I’m going to have them for dinner tonight. There is one big piece of chocolate cake left for dessert. I’m going to eat my leftovers and dessert and that’s it! I’ll also drink more water. I think I’ll be going over my calorie goal but I’ll give myself the…

Today I am striving. I am productive. I am competent and successful. I am moving forward.

This evening I want to get a good amount of reading done for a CE course I need to renew a license I have. I have several CE credits to take. I don’t work in the field right now but I want to keep the license. I want to stay within my calorie goal. I want to decide on something easy for dinner and make a meal— not just eat…

Today I realized I won’t fail. I am strong to be able to lose weight. I do this one day at a time. I keep working on healthy eating at a calorie deficit so I lose weight. I keep working on exercising. It’s all good.

Losing weight is so slow for me that I wonder if anyone notices. These days the only people who see me are coworkers. They all have weight challenges and we don’t talk about healthy eating. I notice my weight loss. My face is a little smaller and my clothes are looser. Losing weight even slowly is so worth it!

Right now my goal is to not eat the rest of the night. For the first time in a while I’m under my calorie goal for the day and I want to keep it that way.

Anyone ever make delicata squash? I heard about it and bought some but don’t know how to make it. Anyone know how to make it?

I cleaned up the kitchen after dinner and turned the light out. I am out of there for the day!

I stayed home and got dressed really nicely today. I wanted to put on clothes that I usually don’t wear since all I do is go to work and stay home. It made me really take care of myself and not overeat and eat well because I felt so good by dressing up. It was amazing!

Tonight was a pantry staples night. I had Brussels sprouts and i sautéed them with aduki beans and put it over quinoa. For some last minute creativity it was good and filling.

I understand about the ice cream. I can’t have a container of ice cream and eat just one portion either. I have to do what you do and put one scoop in a little dish. I hope I can do that. I tend to think I can control it just eating out of the container. I need to work on taking one serving and putting it in a dish. Thanks…

Be busy but take it slow with no pressure. That was what today was about.

Today I want to walk, go visit a friend, do some laundry and relax then get ready for tomorrow. I made dinner last night and have leftovers. I forgot though that I need to do some food shopping. Today now looks busier than I thought since I wrote it down. I hope I get at least little bits of these things done.

What worked for me today was walking and not stopping when I wanted to. Also cooking when I didn’t want to.

I just need to keep going. Every oz. I lose and keep off is a win. I gained .6 this week. I didn’t eat enough protein but I still thought I would lose. Tonight I went into the grocery store to pick up a rotisserie chicken and they didn’t have what I wanted. I was too tired to get something else and stand in line to pay for…

I worked today and tonight I’ve been resting. I’m going to do some dishes then get right back in bed and rest some more until it’s time to go to sleep. Feels so good to do this once in a while.

Tonight I’m feeling hungry but have no more calories left for the day. I’m glad I stayed within my calorie goal for the day and plan to not eat more tonight. That makes me feel good.

I’m so glad I have exercise calories, even a few sometimes. They help me feel less deprived even if I don’t use them. Just knowing I earned them feels good.
